lulu : why am i whispering ? i am whispering to control myself from screaming . what you do n't seem to be hearing is that i am a concerned party . i was there when it happened . you can find my statement in the file . look , i just need to know what was recovered from the explosion at crichton - clark . [ chuckles ] actually , i do n't believe that you wish you could help me at all ! how long have you been standing there ? dante : uh , long enough to hear you mention crichton - clark . honey , you know , you were there . everything blew up . there was nothing left . do you really want to revisit all that stuff ? [ doorbell rings ] lulu : it 's probably maxie with a housewarming gift . robert : ah . lulu : robert . robert : i did get the address right . lulu : [ chuckles ] uh , your father wanted me to drop by and assure you he 's far from dead . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'm aware that you and nikolas did not have a happy marriage . still , i know that he -- he felt a certain sense of responsibility toward you . so it 's for his sake that i 'm gon na warn you . hayden : about what ? ava : elizabeth . she seems quite determined to turn you over to the feds . hayden : [ chuckles ] i have no doubt she 'd lock me up forever if she could , but elizabeth 's got nothing to use against me . ava : oh ! i think she does . they 're small , sparkly , worth an awful lot of money . nikolas took them with him when he left , but they found their way back to elizabeth . hayden : that bitch has my diamonds ? ava : this is so good . i 'm gon na tell carly . she loves my input . hayden : answer the question . does elizabeth physically have possession of my diamonds ? ava : now , wait , when you say your diamonds , do n't you mean the government 's diamonds ? were n't those diamonds supposed to be turned over to the federal government after raymond berlin was convicted of fraud to be sold off as partial compensation for all those poor , poor suckers that he conned ? hayden : i assume that nikolas had those diamonds in greece ? ava : that 's where i first saw them . hayden : so , how did they make their way back to elizabeth ? ava : they were shipped . in a box with nikolas ' effects . elizabeth found it on the doorstep yesterday . but if i were you , i think i would be worrying less about how elizabeth got the diamonds and more about what she 's doing with those diamonds right now . because the men in black are not gon na be happy that you kept those rocks for yourself . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : commissioner ashford ? it 's elizabeth webber . i 've come into some evidence relating to hayden barnes . jordan : i 'm listening . elizabeth : last night , i was at wyndemere , and as i was leaving , i happened upon something that -- actually , i - i ca n't speak freely right now . jordan : why ? are you in some sort of danger ? elizabeth : no , no , no , no . i 'm -- i 'm just at work , and i 'm not alone at the moment . can i come by the pcpd and -- and talk to you in a couple hours when my shift is over ? jordan : uh , that 'll be fine . i will let the desk sergeant know that , uh , i 'm expecting you . elizabeth : great . thank you . finn : what has you visiting the police , nurse webber ? [ scene_break ] franco : spill it . heather : naomi pays me to keep my mouth shut . franco : about what ? heather : [ laughs ] her past with jeff webber and that little brat of hers . franco : jeff webber -- elizabeth 's father . heather : that 's right . franco : what does he have to do with any of this ? heather : everything , son . everything . franco : do n't do that . do n't pause for dramatic effect . just tell me . what does hayden 's mother have to do with elizabeth 's father ? heather : well ... jeff webber just happens to be my ex - husband . he 's also the father of your half brother steven lars . do you ever try to contact him ? franco : oh , yeah , sure . i write him all the time . he just returns my letters . heather : mine , too . imagine . franco : okay , back to the subject at hand , which is jeff webber . heather : um ... no . you know what , i 've said too much already . franco : you have n't said anything . all you did was bait me with a story . heather : well , i could -- i could tell you the source of the money , but i ca n't tell you the why or the where . i made a promise . franco : okay , and ... ? heather : you know me . i 'm a woman of my word . franco : you already told me that ... heather : if nothing else , at least i 've got that . franco : ... naomi stopped giving you the payments months ago . heather : yeah . and i 've got to figure out a way to get my leverage back , so i can scare her into start making the payments again . franco : okay . maybe there 's a way for you to tell me everything and still keep your word . [ scene_break ] hayden : did elizabeth give my diamonds to the authorities ? ava : she did n't share her plans with me , but my guess is the feds have the ice . hayden : that 's it . i 'm done . ava : oh , there , there . i 'll get the next round . you look like you 're gon na need another . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : one of the detectives , dante falconeri , is married to my ex - sister- in - law lulu . finn : this sounds complicated . elizabeth : but long story short , they just got a new place , and i was gon na bring them some things . but it was impossible to get ahold of , so i was just gon na drop them off with dante . finn : oh , i 'm so -- i 'm sorry i asked . i did n't mean to pry . elizabeth : no . no worries . finn : i think it was a bit of wishful thinking on my part , you know , with the -- they still have n't caught this killer yet , and , you know , with all the security , the entire staff seems on edge . and it 's like -- it 's interfering with our ability to treat patients . and when i heard you talking to the cops , i thought , you know , maybe you had a lead . elizabeth : no , i - i wish i did . finn : okay , well , in that case , can i just have the claremont file ? elizabeth : yeah , this should be it . here you go . finn : thank you . elizabeth : everything should be in order . if you just sign off and he gets his psych eval , he should be released tomorrow . and i know what you mean about the killings . everyone in this hospital is on edge and everyone is looking over their shoulders and i swear half the staff is filing complaints over nothing . finn : yeah , that really has to stop . uh , dr. quartermaine . dr. quartermaine , i need to talk to you . uh , i need to file a complaint against a staff member . [ scene_break ] jordan : [ chuckles ] hey . you ca n't do that here . you know that . i 'm kind of a boss . andré : yeah , one of the many supremely sexy things about you . jordan : stop . andré : hey , i brought you a present . jordan : okay . `` austin 's guide to collectible currency . `` well , it looks like it 's been in a garage for 50 years . andré : close ! i had to dig it out of storage . i thought it might help you track down those cufflinks . jordan : wow , that 's -- that is really sweet of you . but i think we 've already exhausted the internet with our research . andré : so that 's it ? jordan : uh , i am touched that you did this for me , truly , but why are you so invested in this ? andré : what 's important to you is important to me . jordan : and you just happened to have an old - coin research manual ? andré : well , i 'm a nerd from back in the day . what can i say ? jordan : [ chuckles ] oh , wait , do n't tell me you 're gon na end up being one of those nerds with a secret man cave full of `` star wars `` figures . andré : i can neither confirm nor deny . jordan : [ chuckles ] okay . will you come meet me at my place after work ? andré : sure . i 'll finish up rounds and head over . see you tonight . jordan : okay . andré : bye . jordan : he 's a collector . hey , um , will you do me a favor and make a phone call for me ? i think i might have found the next rock to turn over . [ scene_break ] lulu : where is my father now ? robert : oh , he 's in transit . from where to where , i 'm not sure . lulu : but he called you . robert : no , i called him -- satellite phone . i needed information on someone who he 'd done business with . now , he got concerned about the fact that he could n't contact you or tracy . he wanted you to know that he had n't been on cassadine island since -- and i quote -- `` before the witch breathed her last breath . `` lulu : good . well , i was reasonably sure that the skeleton i found on cassadine island was n't him , but it 's a huge relief to have that confirmed . thank you so much . robert : yeah . dante : robert , did -- did luke say anything about maybe coming to see his family himself in the future ? robert : um , well , i 'm -- i 'm sure he 'll reach out at some point . dante : well , good . good . that 's awful generous of him . lulu : dante , please . dante : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . your family -- you deal with your family how you want to deal with it . lulu : my dad ... he went to some really dark places in the year before he left port charles . he discovered some things about himself that changed the way he thought -- not only himself , but his life . pretty much everything . he needed to get out there and find out who he is now . do i love it ? obviously not . but do i accept it ? i adore my dad . i 'd rather love him for the person he is , even if that person is half a world away , than ask him to stay here , go through the motions , pretend to be someone that he 's not . robert : you and robin should form a club . i got the same speech just recently . but look , i 'm grateful for her love and acceptance , and i 'm sure that luke is grateful for yours . lulu : did my dad say anything else ? robert : yeah , he did . he wanted me to warn you against valentin cassadine . dante : here you go . robert : thank you . dante : so , that , uh , warning about valentin came a little bit late . he 's already been extradited back to greece . he 's in a maximum - security cell awaiting trial for murder . lulu : nikolas ' murder . robert : yeah , i know . i know . i 'm sorry . thanks . uh , i 've never met this cassadine . i mean , i did n't even know he existed until luke mentioned him . but now he 's on the interpol 's radar , and i 'm pulling all the files i can from the wsb . your dad thinks he 's really dangerous . lulu : apparently , helena warned him that valentin is the cassadine all other cassadines fear . robert : hmm . luke 's more concerned that if he escapes from prison , he 's gon na pick up the cassadine vendetta against the spencers . dante : well , i do n't think he 's gon na escape a maximum - security cell , but even if he did , valentin says that his beef is with his own family . he 's got a grudge against the cassadines , not the spencers . robert : hmm . still . luke 's not known to be overly cautious . and this valentin spooks him . you 're a cop . what do you think ? dante : well , he 's smart , methodical . there were some fireworks while he was holding onto us , but i think it was mostly to get us to cooperate . but he 's a professional and probably was a mercenary at some point . robert : i 'm gon na look into this -- just for my own curiosity . dante : hey , if you find out anything you think we might -- robert : you 'll be the first i call . well , look , it 's been great to see you both . lulu : actually , before you leave , i wanted to ask you for a favor , something that you could research at the wsb . robert : uh , i 'll try . what -- what do you want to know ? lulu : i need to know if something survived the explosion at crichton - clark . [ scene_break ] franco : so , do you follow ? heather : not exactly . franco : okay , it 's -- it 's -- really simple , okay ? i just -- i speak in hypothetical terms , and then if you feel like i 'm close , and i 'm -- i 'm getting warm , then you say -- heather : it 's possible . franco : right . and if i 'm way off base , then you say -- heather : not possible . franco : great . okay , so , hypothetically speaking , all right , you were somewhat obsessed with jeff webber . heather : it 's possible . franco : okay . great . but that ended years ago , right ? decades , even . so , what time frame are we talking about ? you 're right . i 'm sorry . hypothetically , that started after jeff left port charles . heather : it 's possible . franco : great . because he married elizabeth 's mother , and you felt jilted because you were the first wife and you 'd been replaced . heather : that 's very possible . franco : okay . so , hypothetically , you started to stalk him . heather : stalk him ? i was n't stalking him . i was merely checking in on jeff to see how he was doing . letting myself in without his knowledge . would you call that stalking ? franco : well , that 's pretty much the definition that they have in the dictionary . heather : fine . so , i 'm in jeff 's apartment . guess what i find out . he 's dating someone on the lowdown -- a secret relationship , a very secret relationship , and you know how i feel about secrets . franco : so , how did you find out ? heather : the usual way . i followed a very married jeff webber to the penthouse of his very married lover . franco : anyone we know ? heather : naomi berlin . [ scene_break ] hayden : i 'm gon na have to leave town , immediately . should i risk flying , or would my name already be on the no - fly list ? ava : my advice -- take a bus . i mean , you probably consider it slumming , but there 's a lot less scrutiny . [ cell phone chimes ] ava : excuse me . why would the port charles pd be calling me ? hayden : you said elizabeth had those diamonds yesterday ? ava : yes , why ? hayden : then why have n't the authorities come for me then , or now ? ava : oh , i do n't know . arrest warrants take time . hayden : no , they would have come straight for me if they knew . they did n't because they do n't . ava : they do n't what ? hayden : they do n't know about the diamonds . elizabeth has n't turned them over . ava : elizabeth has n't turned them over yet . hayden : yet . yet . `` yet `` is good . `` yet `` means i still have time . ava : where are you going ? to beg elizabeth to give them back ? hayden : or stop her dead in her tracks . [ scene_break ] andré : hi . i was called to do a psych eval for a patient -- claremont . elizabeth : yes , he 's in 1023 . andré : thank you . elizabeth : mm - hmm . monica : well , dr. obrecht barged into my office earlier today , and she demanded that i fire you . something about sonny corinthos ' plane ? finn : none of her business . monica : well , i told her that where my doctors travel to and by what mode they use is none of the hospital 's business . finn : and i appreciate that . monica : i also told her that she was bordering on harassment . finn : did you say bordering ? bordering ? monica : oh , finn , trust me . you do not want to file a complaint against obrecht . finn : i 'm not afraid of a fight with her . monica : look , as much as it pains me to say this , she has a point . you have been less than forthcoming about your research . and ... and because i brought you in and because i believe in you , i 'm gon na let this slide for a while . not forever , but for a while . finn : i appreciate that . monica : she has a vendetta against you . you know that ? finn : yeah . monica : i mean , here you come in . you 're on staff . and she 's demoted to the basement . and she is deeply , deeply disappointed that you are not the hospital serial killer . [ alarm beeping ] elizabeth : 1023 is coding ! finn : what ? nurse , we need a cart in here stat . andré : ... 9 , 10 . he 's in v - tach . 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ... finn : what do you got ? andré : ... 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 . [ scene_break ] robert : um , you know more about crichton - clark than i do . i mean , you were there when it blew up . lulu : we were , but we did n't stick around to watch them sift through the rubble . and as it turns out , i may have left something behind that belongs to me . robert : i do n't follow . lulu : this is extremely personal information that i would have a really difficult time discussing with a wsb agent if he did n't happen to be my dad 's best friend . robert : uh , all right . um ... lulu : i need to know if there is any possibility that my embryo could have survived the explosion . [ scene_break ] jordan : ms. jerome . thank you for coming in . i need to talk to you about a murder . paul : when scott calls you to testify on your brother 's behalf , instead of defending your brother , you 're going to bury him with the truth . ava : i will not go against my brother . paul : oh . well , then , why do n't i introduce you to my next case ? the people vs. ava jerome , charged with murder in the second degree , or first degree ? you remember that young lady , connie falconeri ? ava : no ! paul : oh , why not , huh ? it 's a slam dunk for my office , hmm ? you -- you do n't remember that flash drive that i have in my possession ? ava : you know , the da 's office , you spend a lot of time trying to come up with ways to harass me -- so much so that i have my lawyer 's number on speed dial . so , if you do n't mind -- jordan : it 'll just be a minute . you 've actually misunderstood me . you 're -- you 're not a person of interest in this matter . actually , your expertise might be able to help us solve the case . ava : really ? jordan : yes , i know that your gallery , it brokers the sale of collectibles , antiques , in addition to works of art , yes ? ava : yeah , that 's true . jordan : this cufflink . it may be linked to the murders at general hospital . ava : roman . second or third century ad . jordan : well , yes , the people that i 've spoken to say that it was probably sold in the collector 's market and then made into this piece of jewelry . ava : i 'd say that 's probably a very good guess . jordan : well , i was hoping that maybe you could share some insight . does it look familiar at all ? ava : damn . yeah . yeah . yes , it does . [ scene_break ] monica : i need to know exactly what happened . andré : i honestly do n't know . we were talking . the patient was alert and responsive . then he grabbed his chest , said it hurt , and he passed out . his machines alarmed . he was in v - tach , so i started to perform cpr . monica : okay , well , elizabeth , would you call the morgue and tell them the medical examiner 's gon na be in on this case ? andré : of course . monica : oh , and i guess , uh , your second call would be to the police , because this could very well be in their purview -- once again . andré : look , i do n't know what to tell you . i 've been here the whole time . nobody came in here and killed him . what , you 're not implying that i had anything to do with this , are you ? [ scene_break ] franco : wait , jeff webber was having an affair with naomi berlin ? heather : [ scoffs ] why are you surprised ? married men do it all the time . now , granted , it was his second wife , but it could have just as easily have been me , so i felt obligated to step in . franco : naturally . heather : so i let myself into naomi 's apartment . i looked around , and guess what i found . a trash can -- rummaged through it . a pregnancy test is what i found , and it was positive . naomi was pregnant with jeff webber 's little girl . franco : naomi is elizabeth 's mother ? what ? do n't look at me like that . i did -- what the hell are you saying ? you 're not making any sense . heather : did you flunk math ? franco : i do n't know what you 're saying . one . two . three . that 's it ? three ? three what ? heather : three girls . three webber girls . and the third one , jeff does n't even know about . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : as soon as they move the body from the room , yes . okay . thank you . [ scene_break ] heather : hayden barnes -- she 's elizabeth 's sister . [ scene_break ] lulu : stavros was going to implant me with the embryo . he injected me with hormones before dante was able to jump him . robert : so , um , when was the last time you saw the thermos that contained the embryo ? lulu : in the clinic room where stavros was holding me , but i lost sight of it during the fight . robert : and you 're hoping it survived the explosion intact . lulu : i know it 's a long shot . it 's one in a million . but if that embryo is viable , it 's the last one i can produce . it 's my last chance at a child which is biologically mine . [ scene_break ] paul : what happened here ? i was called out of a board meeting . andré : a patient had a heart attack , and now i 'm suspected of being the hospital killer . paul : what 's the story ? finn : a non - critical patient expired . dr. maddox was in the room . paul : and what was this patient in for ? monica : well , nothing that suggested a heart condition . paul : so , we can rule out natural causes ? monica : it appears to be that , yeah . so i guess what i 'm going to need from you is permission to draw blood so we can test it for the drugs found in the other victims . paul : done . monica : all right . paul : let me know what you find . dr. maddox , i 'd prefer if you stayed , pending the results of the blood test . andré : are you detaining me ? paul : well , i 'd like to call it cooperation . andré : the hell with that . not without a lawyer . and i 'm calling jordan . [ scene_break ] ava : coins like this , they were popular a few years ago with dealers in new york city . guys who sat through `` 300 `` a few too many times . jordan : but that was about spartans , not romans . ava : yes , very good . but a distinction lost on the wall street warrior . jordan : so , the market was so glutted , there 's so many , that i ca n't even narrow down a field of buyers ? ava : well , not necessarily . i think that i probably could if i -- if i saw the actual piece and not just this printout . jordan : would it be fair to say that the man who wore these cufflinks comes from money ? ava : absolutely . very expensive . trophy piece . a man who wears these likes to show off , likes to , uh , present himself with a lot of power . but , you know , there 's something else . i 'm certain that i 've seen someone wear these . [ scene_break ] hayden : ava jerome and i had a little chat today . anything you 'd like to tell me ? elizabeth : not a thing . hayden : so , when you were lurking around wyndemere , you did n't come across anything you knew damn well was n't yours ? elizabeth : do you have a real question for me ? hayden : i know you took my diamonds , you little bitch ! and i want them back -- now . [ scene_break ] franco : hayden and elizabeth are sisters ? heather : that 's right . do n't you see the family resemblance ? franco : let 's get back to the story . so , you confronted naomi . heather : of course . you know me so well , son . i was there waiting for her when she walked in , and i told her i found out all about her adulterous affair with jeff . so she got hysterical , went to pieces . begged me not to tell her husband . franco : but you did . heather : no . i did n't . but i kept my silence in exchange for a large sum of money . you see , raymond , at that time , was making money hand over fist . and naomi was not about to get off that gravy train . so she agreed to my terms . franco : which were ... ? heather : that she never see jeff webber again . and that she pay me my money monthly forever . franco : so you managed to blackmail her for $ 1.5 million . heather : oh , no . have n't you been listening ? it 's worth much more than that now . i found someone who taught me how to invest it . another story for another day . franco : i need to go . heather : where are you going ? franco : what do you mean ? how can you even ask me that ? i have to go tell elizabeth . heather : oh , no , you do n't . [ scene_break ] finn : that 's a good move . lawyer up . if you do n't protect your rights , no one else will . paul : feel free to move along , dr. finn . finn : hang in there . paul : listen , if you 're innocent , the blood test will prove it , okay ? so just lay back a little bit , cooperate , and i 'll talk to jordan , okay ? andré : why ? paul : do you really want to question my motives ? just stay here with this officer , okay ? and do n't talk . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : after a solid year of wanting you to disappear , i 'm the one who gets to make it happen . hayden : oh , are n't you a smug one ? elizabeth : well , what can i say ? you bring out the worst in me . those diamonds do n't belong to you , hayden . hayden : they were my father 's . they 're all i have left of him . elizabeth : oh , please , spare me the poor - little - rich - girl story . hayden : who do you think you are , you hypocrite , with your wide eyes and your baby voice ? sweet little elizabeth , who kept jason from his wife , his kid , his entire life . you dragged nikolas into your pathetic conspiracy . he only tried to kill me , because he was so desperate to keep your secret . you set this all in motion , elizabeth . nikolas would be alive if it was n't for you . elizabeth : no , do n't you dare . hayden : do n't i dare what ? call you out ? speak the truth ? i see you for the pathetic liar you are . elizabeth : i did n't steal those diamonds . i did n't hide them from the feds . that was all on you . too bad they do n't have family suites in prison . you could be locked up with dear old dad . [ hayden slaps elizabeth while finn watches in surprise . [ scene_break ] franco : elizabeth has every right to know that she has a sister , especially this sister . elizabeth and hayden hate each other . heather : good . keep it that way . everybody will be better off . franco : no . this directly affects her . heather : why ? if the truth comes out , i lose all my leverage with naomi . and that means you do , too . and if you squander the money that i gave you last time , that should concern you . and maybe you should think twice about babbling the truth to elizabeth . franco : it concerns elizabeth , do n't you think , that she has a sister that she hates ? it would definitely concern her , especially if she knew about it . heather : yeah , well , she 's not going to . not if you do what your mother tells you . franco : mother , elizabeth and i , we 're finally getting close . heather : finally . franco : i need to be honest with her about everything . heather : do n't tell her . do n't do it . franco : sorry , mother . heather : do n't leave me . no . how could you , after everything i 've done for you ? [ scene_break ] finn : step back . go to the neutral corner . ah . back . elizabeth : do you want to tell dr. finn what this is all about or should i ? finn : i - i do n't care what it 's about , only that it stops . all right , you should check with monica before you clock out . she has some questions about mr. claremont . elizabeth : yeah , of course , right before i head to the police station . hayden : you should have let me kick her ass . finn : what ? aah ! here , champ , in front of witnesses ? hayden : you know , you do n't get it . she wants to destroy me . finn : hey . all right , i 'm not gon na let that happen , all right ? let me help you , hayden . hayden : oh , now you care ? i seem to remember you pushing me away . so you know what , right back at you . according to you , there 's no friendship between us , so leave me alone . [ scene_break ] jordan : so , you think you might know who the cufflinks belong to ? ava : i 'm just saying they look familiar . i 've seen them , but i ca n't remember where or who i saw wearing them . jordan : i 've had the same feeling . like , i recognize the cufflinks . i 've seen someone wearing them , but ... it makes me wonder if the killer 's close by . [ scene_break ] paul : can i help you ? elizabeth : uh , i was supposed to check in with dr. quartermaine . paul : yeah , i 'm waiting for her , too . i was just here to fill out some paperwork , and , uh , i was looking for a pen . i 'll tell her you stopped by . elizabeth : okay . paul : all right . [ scene_break ] robert : so , what is it you need from me ? lulu : the wsb must have inventoried the wreckage . robert : oh , yeah , absolutely . let 's face it . victor cassadine was coloring way outside the lines with that clinic of his . we did an accounting of everything we found . lulu : can you check and see if they found a thermos or a freezer unit -- something that may have been able to store the embryo ? robert : i 'll request the records and , um , see what i can find . lulu : that would be amazing . thank you , robert . robert : i 'm -- i 'm sorry that you had to go through what you did , but i got to say , you seem to have pulled your lives together quite well . lulu : i had a lot of incentive , a lot to be grateful for . dante and i have a healthy , beautiful son , and if rocco is going to be our only child , then we 're beyond blessed . just , i 'd really like to know about the embryo , one way or another . robert : i 'll check things out and then get back to you . dante : thank you , robert . lulu : are you mad ? dante : no , i 'm not mad . i understand why you want to know what you want to know . and regardless how this turns out , i 'm with you all the way , all right ? [ scene_break ] franco : hi . excuse me . is elizabeth webber still here ? nurse : no , i just took over for her . franco : [ groans ] [ scene_break ] finn : i 'm sorry about what i said . look , i 'm an idiot , all right ? i was going through some things and -- and i took it out on you , and i should n't have done that . hayden : well , whatever . i do n't -- i do n't have time for this . finn : hayden , where are you going ? hayden : to make sure elizabeth webber keeps her mouth shut . [ scene_break ] jordan : well , thank you for your time . ava : i hope it helped . jordan : it may . you can hold on to that . if you think of anything else , you can give me a call . ava : [ remembers ] hey . hey . where are you going ? paul : work . pretty busy . ava : oh ! oh , my god . [ scene_break ] paul : damn it , she saw me . [ scene_break ] monica : the test results are back . there was no derisifol in claremont 's system . finn : apparently , he was taking an unregulated testosterone supplement , and it affected his cardiovascular system , probably because of his age . andré : i do n't appreciate being a suspect . finn : believe me , i sympathize . andré : but i understand why you needed to check . monica : well , i do n't think i 've ever been happier to know a patient died of natural causes . the last thing this hospital needs right now is another murder . finn : power failure . monica : mm .

lulu is obsessively trying to find out if there 's any possibility of finding the embryos that were her last chance to have another baby , after the explosion at the creighton clark clinic , a few years back . robert scorpio comes by to visit her , assures her luke is alive and well but needs her and others to beware of valentin , even if he has been arrested , extradited back to greece , and has declared he is not a threat to the spencers . at the hospital as well as the police station , the mysterious cuff links are the only evidence tying the hospital murder to a suspect . ava remembers paul threatening to have her charged with the murder of connie falconeri unless she testifies against her brother . she does not want him holding this threat over her . and right then , she finds out that jordan is investigating the origin of the mysterious cuff links , which jordan knows she 's seen somewhere although she can not `` pin point `` where or on whom . ava also knows the cuff links in question look familiar . as soon as she is alone , ava remembers the last time she slept with paul , when he was getting dressed , he had those very cuff links on his shirt cuff . ava has also been able to find out and inform hayden that elizabeth weber has the diamonds in her possession , which can have hayden sent to prison , knowing that hayden 's father was supposed to turn them over to the feds but did not . learning that , hayden is determined not to let elizabeth hold that over on her and goes to confront elizabeth at the hospital . elizabeth is not worried and goes off to turn the evidence over to the cops . when she ca n't get the hospital elevator to open , elizabeth goes down the hospital stairs . paul then realizes that elizabeth has seen his cuff links , has just informed him she intends to turn `` evidence `` over to the police commissioner , and he remembers jordan is investigating the cuff links in question which he is now wearing . hayden is infuriated and determined to stop at nothing in order to prevent elizabeth from doing what she intends to do . as elizabeth walks down the hospital stairs , the lights suddenly go out and `` somebody `` comes up behind her and pushes her down the stairs . meanwhile franco goes to visit his mom , heather , at her facility . she reveals to her son that after she divorced jeff weber , elizabeth 's father , she found out jeff was sleeping with naomi , who was married , at the time to the rich raymond berlin . heather found out that jeff got naomi pregnant . hearing that , franco wonders , although his mom does not confirm or deny , if that means that naomi is elizabeth 's mom . he then goes off to find elizabeth and let her know what he 's just found out although his mom pleads that he not do that .

ned : alexis politely declined to help me with my plans to adopt leo . olivia : of course , i would love for it to be official . but the important thing is that julian 's trial is over now . he 's gon na be in prison for the next 15 years at least , which means , adoption or no adoption , you and i get to raise leo together . ned : i like the sound of that . although i may not have quite as much free time to spend with leo . i 'm seriously considering going back to elq full time . olivia : really ? well , i 'm sure that michael would be thrilled to have you . ned : actually , it was his idea . he wants me to come on board as vice president of new business . and i have to admit , it 's a little strange thinking of myself in second position behind my much younger cousin . olivia : are n't you the one that 's always telling me how capable michael is ? ned : yes . but with all due respect , i 'm more capable . olivia : [ chuckles ] ned : not that i have any intention of staging a coup . just the opposite . in fact , i 'm covering for him right now while he 's in north africa on business .

[ car door closes ] olivia : ... you 're not gon na have to wait for the delivery 'cause i 'm gon na be able to make it homemade just for you ! ned : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! that is not how the curse operates . olivia : there 's a curse ? ned : well , there has to be . i do n't know who laid it on us , but i know when it started -- 1994 . and ever since , no thanksgiving meal , no matter how carefully planned , has ever worked out , which means if you make a pizza on purpose , something is bound to happen , and we 'll have to order chinese or something . olivia : those bricks are gon na look so spectacular right outside the kitchen patio . okay , i got to go oversee the installation . ned : olivia , whoa , whoa , whoa ! hold on a second . olivia : what ? ned : does cook know about this ? olivia : what do you mean ? ned : well , you were supposed to call her and tell her to come back . olivia : right , right . that was monica 's suggestion . ned : well , i think it was more than just a suggestion . olivia : well , i decided against it . ned : uh , is monica aware of your decision ? olivia : look , look , they 're -- they 're taking the oven off the truck right now ! ned , i 'm sorry . i got to go ! i got to go ! ned : [ sighs ] [ cell phone beeps ] ned : so much for your business trip , michael .

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] andré : well , just because your circumstances have changed for the better , it does n't mean that the underlying anxiety will go away . sam : yeah , well , i guess we really do n't let go of things that quickly . andré : ha . no , no . if we did , i 'd have a lot more time to practice my golf . sam : oh , you golf ? andré : no , because i 'm too busy helping people deal with their repressed emotions to learn how . speaking of helping ... sam : what ? andré : i know you have n't made an appointment yet , but that does n't mean you wo n't change your mind . and my door is always open , sam . sam : that 's very sweet . thank you . but i have been given a clean bill of health . andré : and those thoughts that were troubling you , they 're no more ? no more concern about your husband being in any kind of danger ? [ scene_break ] woman : we have heard the rumors . but it seemed unlikely that a man in your position would choose to step down . man : is this the part where you tell us that jason morgan is now running the show , and we better not try anything ? sonny : on the contrary . jason 's already retired . and i can assure you that he agrees with my arrangement . man : and what are those arrangements ? sonny : i will be evenly distributing my territory between the remaining families . my legit businesses , including but not limited , to corinthos coffee will remain with me . man : ca n't be simply giving all this away for free . what 's the price ? sonny : max and my associates will be taken care of . jason and his family , my family will be protected by your organizations . man : that 's it ? second man : it ca n't be . third man : no catches ? no tricks ? all you ask in return is protection ? sonny : that 's right . do we have a deal ? [ scene_break ] felicia : if you find something , send it the moment you have it . thanks . maxie : big case ? felicia : maxie ! i had no idea you were coming ! maxie : i wanted it to be a surprise . felicia : well , i 'm really thrilled to see you , but usually our visits end up being so short . maxie : well , i have an even bigger surprise . i 'm home for good . felicia : you mean you 're home to stay ? what happened in portland ? maxie : oh , do n't get me wrong . i loved my job and seeing georgie almost every day . choosing between port charles and portland seemed impossible . i was agonizing over it . and then i talked to spinelli . felicia : oh , yes , yes , leave it to spinelli to find a logical , if longwinded , solution . maxie : [ chuckles ] well , we arranged it so i can see georgie more often , which is easier now that she 's older . you know , it 's really great when you and your ex can be best friends . felicia : i imagine so . maxie : so basically it came down to my job versus nathan . great opportunity work - wise versus the kindest , sexiest , most faithful man that i know . felicia : yeah , he 's so many of those things . maxie : you know , in a way , you and mac helped me see the light . felicia : us ? ! how ? maxie : yeah , that night you were almost busted for public indecency . felicia : oh , maxie , how can you bring that up ? and how could that be inspiration to you ? maxie : i was so mad at `` ask man landers `` for advising mac to spice up your marriage with al fresco sex . felicia : well , in all fairness , that was mac 's interpretation . maxie : my point is , i did some digging into the `` ask man landers `` blog , and as much as i really hate to admit this , he had a compelling argument about the power of love and putting it first . felicia : i see . maxie : that does n't mean that i am done with `` ask man landers . `` i am gon na unmask that mystery man if it 's the last thing i do . [ scene_break ] quinn : so , the `` ask man landers `` rollout is going to be spectacular . and these are going to be everywhere . are n't they fabulous ? amy : [ chuckles ] how ... exciting ! quinn : well , i 'm glad you like it . amy : i do . i do . i 'm just wondering ... quinn : yes ? quinn : is it necessary ? quinn : well , as opposed to what ? amy : something a little more mysterious . nathan : or maybe a little less close . quinn : well , this cutout is gon na come in handy even after the publishing party . amy : publishing party ? quinn : mm - hmm . congratulations . `` ask man landers `` has been chosen to be our major publishing event of the season , which means the author will be there signing autographs , meeting his fans with tons and tons of press . amy : will he be wearing a ski mask ? quinn : [ chuckling ] well , no . he 'll be looking as stunning and gorgeous as he appears to us right now . oh , darling ! listen , if that happens during the event , just lose your shirt , okay , because the fans will love it .

[ cell phone beeps ] michael : come on , give me a little more now . you can do better than that . nelle : if you want more , you 're gon na have to go inside . michael : i like the way you think . nelle : [ chuckles ] michael : let me just , uh , post this real quick . nelle : oh , god , will the romance never stop ? michael : almost done . wait for it . and ... done . voilà . hmm ? do n't you love it ? nelle : more and more every day . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , i will never forget what nelle did to me , what she did to all of us , all right ? but i - i ca n't deny that everything she did was because someone she trusted lied to her . bobbie : and instead of confronting you honestly , she hatched this crazy revenge plot . carly : mom , sometimes when we 're led to believe the wrong thing , we make horrible mistakes . bobbie : okay . what 's going on ? carly : what do you mean ? bobbie : you are the most stubborn creature in all of creation . no one , not even my brother , is as devoted to holding on to a grudge as you are . carly : [ scoffs ] bobbie : so , why all of a sudden the 180 on nelle ? and do n't tell me it has something to do with michael 's newfound bliss . something happened . carly : you 're right . something did .

[ scene_break ] carly : you know , uh , there was a situation , and i ca n't get into the details . bobbie : has to do with sonny 's business . carly : uh , sort of . and it 's really complicated . really complicated . bobbie : okay , then let me simplify . i have no desire to know anything about sonny 's business . but if you want me to back off on nelle , i need to know why , and i need to know now . [ cell phone chimes ] carly : i 'm doing the right thing . bobbie : [ sighs ] carly : i am . bobbie : and how is letting your son fall into this man trap the right thing ? carly : [ sighs ] mom , i 've learned something about michael . i have . every single time that i try to protect him from some awful truth that i was sure was going to destroy his life , he found out . he found out . and guess what ? it did n't destroy his life . it did n't . michael has survived more than any young kid should ever have to endure , and he still has this great , big heart . and he should hold on to that . bobbie : oh , so that 's why all of a sudden , for reasons you do n't want to tell me , you 're turning a blind eye . carly : no , i 'm not ! my eyes are wide open here . they are . bobbie : then why ? carly : i need to let michael live his own life . i do . and to have the freedom to make his own decisions . bobbie : and make his own mistakes . [ scene_break ] michael : you know , we still have some time before you have to go to work . nelle : mm - hmm . michael : how about we do a little , uh , pre - photo shoot photo shoot , huh ? there 's all this exotic scenery around trying to upstage you . let 's give it a run for its money . nelle : thanks , but i do n't think we should post a whole collage of our day in morocco . michael : documenting our lives every two minutes getting a little crass ? nelle : think it 's just the way i grew up , you know ? were n't really big on picture taking . just holiday or a birthday here and there , and i 've never really liked the way that i look in pictures . also , you know , i 'm just not a fan of social media . michael : well , i get the whole social media thing . it can be kind of obnoxious , but , nelle , to not like the way you look in pictures , that 's -- that 's ridiculous . i mean , you are so beautiful . nelle : believe me , michael . there are some pictures of me out there i would really rather forget . [ scene_break ] ned : business ? really , michael ? you want to take a little trip with nelle , you could have just said so . you did n't have to feed me a line about how you had to check our holdings and could i hold down the fort while you post selfies from marrakech . what is that ? olivia : a brick . a beautiful , red oven brick . ned : i can see that . what i meant was , why are you carrying it ? olivia : because it 's all i have left of my dream ! ned : oh . was there a problem with the installation ? olivia : oh , yeah , yeah , i 'll say there 's a problem , and her name is cook 2 . apparently when i did n't hire her back , monica did . ned : well , it is monica 's house . alan gave it to her . olivia : yeah , oh , believe me , i get that . i understand that now . and she 's given cook 2 complete and total free reign over the kitchen . ned : i would n't worry . she 's actually a pussycat compared to cook 1 . olivia : oh , yeah ? well , that pussycat just terrorized my workmen into putting the pizza oven back on the truck . so now i 've got no pizza oven , no handmade artisanal pizzas , and a tyrant who literally put a digital lock on a toaster oven . ned , i 've been totally outplayed ! ned : i know the feeling . but maybe there are ways of striking back . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , sam . sam : hi . jason : hello . everything okay ? sam : yeah . how 'd it go with sonny ? jason : smoother than expected , actually . i guess the other heads realized that protection was a small price to pay to expand their businesses . sam : was there any pushback ? jason : no . you were right . it was important for me to be there . i appreciate the faith . sam : wow . that 's pretty formal . [ chuckles ] jason : yeah . and ... knowing even more than i did how important it was for me to be there . sam : yeah , you got it . anytime . actually , never again . [ both chuckle ] sam : but you 're welcome . jason : thank you . it 's a deal . never again . sam : never again . jason : what 's this ? sam : oh . this ? um , i ran into dr. maddox , and he wants me to schedule a few sessions with him . jason : okay . why ? sam : dr. maddox made me realize a few things i was too afraid to admit myself . [ scene_break ] sonny : max , can you hurry up and bring the car around ? i ... man : max is a little busy at the moment . if you move , i 'll kill him ! terrible way to repay his loyalty , do n't you think ? [ scene_break ] maxie : unfortunately , spinelli 's too busy working on other cases to identify `` ask man landers , `` but as soon as he does , i 'm gon na pitch the story to nina and be back at crimson in no time . it 's too good of a story to -- felicia : [ sighs deeply ] maxie : are you okay ? felicia : no . maxie : mom , trust me . i 'm going to do everything i can to keep you and mac out of my exposé . felicia : it 's not that . maxie : then what is it ? felicia : it 's just , well , i 'm glad you 're back . and -- and -- and i think it 's wonderful what you 're doing , giving up everything for love . i think it 's wonderful and romantic . but have you even spoken to your husband ? maxie : if i did that , it would n't be a surprise . felicia : nathan will be surprised , all right . maxie : yeah , he 's been dying for me to come home . i know how happy he 's gon na be to see me . and i hate to put it this way , but nathan needs attention . physical attention . often . felicia : he does ? maxie : yeah . his needs are as healthy as he is . you seem surprised . felicia : uh , really not . maxie : ca n't make that poor guy suffer any longer by being so far away . felicia : maybe you should have worried about that sooner . maxie : what ? felicia : nothing . you know what ? i did not have breakfast . i am talking nonsense . maxie : mom , you know something about nathan , do n't you ? felicia : no . nothing . i know nothing . maxie : something that worries you . felicia : i 've seen nathan and amy together a lot . maxie : amy ? mom , nathan went with amy to the nurses ' ball to help her out . those pictures of them together meant nothing . felicia : that 's not what i 'm talking about . maxie : then what are you talking about ? felicia : [ sighs ] maxie : are you seriously implying that nathan is cheating on me with amy ? felicia : you need to talk to nathan . maxie : what gave you this ridiculous idea ? did you -- did you see them kissing ? felicia : no , no , i - i have n't seen that . maxie : but you did see something . felicia : i saw the two of them get in an elevator at the metro court , but that 's it . that 's all . maxie : when ? felicia : half an hour ago . [ scene_break ] amy : showing nathan at the publishing party ruins everything ! the whole anonymity concept is blown ! quinn : we believe this strategy is the best of both worlds . the cutout builds suspense , tantalizing the reader to want to know more and more . and then they see this , well , i mean , more or less . amy : i vote less . [ cell phone chimes ] quinn : oh , excuse me . oh , okay . listen , um , `` ask man landers `` is going to come out of the shadows , and the reveal will be huge , and so will the sales . amy : but what will you do with the cutouts ? think of all that money on cardboard and ... cardboard wasted . quinn : oh , not at all . the cutout will simply remind the public that `` ask man landers `` was once in the dark , a total mystery . uh , i think you 've got to face it , darlings that this is brilliant marketing . nathan : no , it is n't , and i did n't agree to it , so ... quinn : well , actually , you did . amy : he most certainly did not ! his anonymity is stipulated in his contract ! quinn : i think you two should get a lawyer to look over this . in the meantime , please read the boilerplate , especially subsection a , uh , paragraph 4 , stipulation 8 . so , here you go . take a close look , all right ? amy : where are you going ? quinn : i 'm going to new york city . i 've got a , uh , business meeting , and i can just make the 12 : 00 flight . amy : but we have n't settled this yet ! quinn : oh , my darling , i assure you that we have . man landers is contractually obligated to appear at the book launch party or the contract is null and void , okay ? so i will be in touch , and have a nice day . [ door closes ] nathan : okay , so please tell me she 's lying . [ scene_break ] carly : michael is a strong person . mom , we have no reason to believe that nelle wants to hurt michael . me , yes . that was in the past . and i can let that go . i can . start fresh , right ? for michael , for josslyn . and let 's not forget , you know , she 's alive because of nelle . bobbie : hmm . nelle has proven she 's more than willing to trade on your gratitude . carly : okay , but we both got the benefit of a fresh start , right ? why not offer that to nelle ? bobbie : so let 's just wait and see what felicia 's contact has dug up -- carly : tell felicia to drop it . bobbie : carly ! carly : mom , i know you mean well . i do . but everyone will be better off if we just let this go . bobbie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sam : i 've got to tell you , five years ago when i - i thought i lost you , it broke something inside me , something that i 've never been able to fix . jason , i searched that harbor for you myself . it took me months to force myself to admit that you were gone . jason : i know all about this . you do n't need to put yourself through it again . we 're here now . sam : that 's just the thing , jason . on -- on some level , i never stopped going through it . even with you here now , a part of me is always worried that something is gon na take you away from me . and that 's not me . it 's never been me . i 've never been afraid of guns or cons or violence or sailing into the unknown . i fell in love with a man whose job it is to take a bullet for his boss . jason : oh , well , i do n't have a boss . and that 's not my job anymore . sam : i know , but the fear is still there . fear was always there , and there was nothing i could do about it , and i just pushed it down . i pushed it down so much that the illness finally was able to take advantage of it . it messed with my mind . jason , i ... almost killed our best friend , and that 's how much i love you . that 's how afraid i am of losing you . jason : i love you , too . and it 's over now . we 're past it . sam : [ sighs ] you 're right . i 'm sorry . i should be stronger . jason : no . i 'm glad you told me . i 've got something to tell you . you do n't have anything to worry about . i 'm not going anywhere . nothing 's gon na happen to me . sonny and i , we took care of that today . sam : good . good . then i think we should celebrate , the four of us . jason : you think we should celebrate ? sam : yes . jason : oh , really ? well , carly might not be talking to me at the moment . sam : carly ? she ca n't stay mad at you for five minutes . it 's been 12 hours . she 's back to thinking you walk on water . jason : i love you . sam : i love you , too . jason : okay . let 's give sonny a call , see where he would like to celebrate . [ scene_break ] sonny : what the hell do you think you 're doing , petrov ? petrov : getting ready to shoot max unless you hand over your gun . [ cell phone vibrates ] [ ringing ] jason : you know what ? he 's not answering . i should go check on him . sam : wait , w - why ? you said the meeting went well , that there was nothing to worry about . jason : there 's not , but just to be sure . think about where you want to celebrate . i 'll be right back . max : do n't do it , boss . petrov : shut up . max : you let him shoot me , and then you take him out . petrov : your soldier seems eager to die . sonny : okay , wait , no one -- no one has to get hurt . petrov : drop it . kick it over . [ gun cocks ] petrov : i mean it . sonny : okay , you got my attention ! max . what 's this about ? petrov : how did you think this was gon na go , huh ? you announce your retirement and we all offer you congratulations . then line up for a slice , our slice , of your territory that we have to run by your rules . you 're not stupid , corinthos . you must be crazy to think that you can walk away from this business and live . [ scene_break ] amy : those weasels ! they 're so sneaky ! i swear they 're worse than pharma reps . nathan : all right . break it to me gently . amy : nathan , i am so sorry . quinn 's right . she -- they -- have reserved the right to have you appear at the publishing launch . nathan : look , i ca n't -- [ sighs ] that ca n't happen . amy : i know . i know . with any luck , i can talk some sense into quinn . nathan : i do n't see that happening . you see the way she was looking at me when she was talking to us ? amy : nathan , everyone looks at you like that . nathan : no , they do n't . i mean , she wants me unmasked and probably shirtless at this thing , you know , like some piece of meat . it 's -- it 's like all of the advice that we gave does n't matter . you know , like my -- my brain and my heart and everything that i said as `` ask man landers `` does n't matter . amy : we 'll figure a way out of this . i swear . we still have a little bit of time before the launch party . nathan : look , can we just get out of here , okay ? what if she misses her flight , in case she comes back ? amy : definitely . let 's blow this popsicle stand . we can figure out our strategy together somewhere safe . nathan : [ sighs ] amy : do not worry . this will always and forever be our little secret . but you really should button up your shirt . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] felicia : maxie , please call me back before you talk to nathan . i 'm feeling really bad about what i told you because , well , actually , it may be nothing , but i was telling you something , so -- oh , hang on . oh , i have to take this call . please , maxie , call me back .

[ scene_break ] mac : as soon as the police get here , you 'll be transported to the pcpd . faith : if i make it that far . i do n't suppose you 'd want to give me some sort of implement to use as a weapon to defend myself in case the crazed murderer returns to the scene of the crime ? mac : the only person likely to come looking for you is justus . faith : were you not paying attention ? he just turned his back on me . felicia : justus is a brilliant attorney , and he 's very convincing . but that does n't mean that we believe him . faith : you 're setting a trap ? mac : if justus comes looking for you , we 'll know he 's been your accomplice . [ scene_break ] emily : she came out of nowhere . one minute i was checking the room for some clue to the killer 's identity , and the next she was on me and we struggled , and i managed to grab hold of her mask and i ripped it off , and there -- there was mary . she had this look in her eyes , nikolas . she wanted me dead . nikolas : you tried to warn me she was insane . i 'm so sorry . i should 've listened to you . emily : no , listen , i may have run upon a few red flags , but i had no idea that she was that far gone . and never for one moment did i think that she was violent and capable of cold - blooded murder . nikolas : ok . she wanted you out of the way . she thought she 'd be removing her last obstacle to me . but why sage and trent ? why 'd she kill them ? those kids were no threat to her . emily : mary thought i was sage . i mean , she did n't even care that she 'd killed two innocent teenagers . i mean , she 'd convinced herself that everyone in the house was conspiring with me to keep connor away from her . nikolas : connor ? emily : nikolas , mary still believes that you 're her husband . she thinks that i 'm holding you prisoner , and she will stop at nothing to free you . nikolas : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . emily : it 's not your fault . nikolas : no , i wanted to trust her . i agreed to let her help us . emily : well , there 's no way that you could have known . nikolas : i just -- i ca n't believe it . i mean , you -- you say it was her , so i know it 's true , but she seemed to be gentle , loving , even . terribly misguided , but it seemed to be a product of her grief . i just -- i ca n't see how she could kill anyone . emily : she 's mentally ill . nikolas : i think it 's more than that . something -- something turned her violent like this . emily : maybe -- maybe it 's despair , you know ? maybe she realized that she 'd truly lost you , and her mind just snapped . nikolas : i do n't like thinking that i could drive someone to madness . emily : it 's not you . nikolas : i thought she was my wife . i said all the things that i was supposed to . i told her that i loved her ; i told her that i would n't leave her . emily : because she lied about who you were . nikolas : i know . i 'm just trying to see this from her point of view . you know , she was lonely , she was grieving . and you know what ? i know what that feels like . because when we were afraid that you were n't going to survive the cancer , i did n't want to think about the rest of my life without you . emily : right . so -- so mary 's grieving , and suddenly you show up at her door , and now there 's hope . it 's a new chance at love , and all she has to do is lie . nikolas : but after a while , i do n't think it was a lie anymore . i think she convinced herself that what she and i had was real , and i did n't help matters any by asking her to remarry me . the only reality that mary can live with right now is the one that she created , where she and i belong to each other . when i turned away from mary , she tried to win me back . she thought she still had a chance because of how angry i was at you . emily : and when we reconciled , then she lost any realistic hope of being with you . nikolas : so she created an alter reality , one where i was still her husband , a reality where you were holding me prisoner and she had to save me . if i believed that you were being held prisoner somewhere by someone , i would do whatever is necessary to free you . and that includes wanting whatever person or persons were responsible dead . emily : so mary 's not giving up ? nikolas : i would n't , and neither would you . mary could n't save her dead husband , connor , so now she 's trying to save me . emily : by killing me . so , what do we do next ? nikolas : hmm . go downstairs , i guess . tell everyone what happened . i wonder if mary 's still in the house . emily : well , she knows that -- that she 's been discovered . and she -- she might be too far gone now , you know , to understand the risk , so maybe she 's just going to stay close and keep trying to get after you . nikolas : i should 've never left you alone like that in here after i knew dillon -- what happened to him -- emily : it 's ok . nikolas : no , no , it 's not . she almost killed you . she almost killed you . and i know that i 'm just trying to see this from her perspective and be logical , but all i can see is you lying on this floor . she almost killed you , emily , and that ca n't happen again , ok ? i do n't give a damn how sick she is . she needs to be stopped . and i 'll kill her before i let her hurt you again . [ scene_break ] felicia : we 'll keep faith in the freezer until she can be transported to the pcpd . tracy : if the cops ever arrive to do it . mac : the storm is dying down . i 'm going to call it in and get an e.t.a . felicia : meanwhile , everybody has to try to stay calm . monica : well , that should n't be too difficult . it wo n't be the first time a homicidal maniac has wandered around these grounds . alan : well , at least this time it 's not one of us . tracy : and is that supposed to be funny ? alan : sweetheart , thank god you 're here ! monica : emily , are you all right ? nikolas : she 's fine . edward : she 's bleeding . lila was right on the money . the killer went after emily . alan : is that what happened ? emily : yes , but i 'm -- i 'm all right . the cut is n't very deep . mac : did you see the killer ? nikolas : yeah . it 's mary bishop . tracy : mary bishop ? that little mousy thing that you invited to dinner ? mac : are you positive ? emily : yeah . i not only ripped off her mask , i had to fight for my life against her . so , yeah , i 'm positive , all right . and she admitted to killing sage and trent . justus : any idea why this mary bishop would all of a sudden go on a killing spree ? nikolas : it 's a long story , ok ? emily : yeah . where do you want us to start ? mac : if you 're up to it , i 'd like you to walk through the scene of the attack . maybe mary left behind some evidence . you can bring me up to speed there . nikolas : ok . tracy : excuse me , did i miss the part where the commissioner deputized his ex- wife ? mac : felicia is a licensed private investigator , a trained observer . i trust her judgment . alan : yes , and mother trusted felicia 's judgment , too . tracy : look , i may not be eligible to inherit , but neither are you , and daddy wo n't be , either , because he ca n't keep his hands off heather webber ! edward : you 're still clinging to the belief that lila did not approve of my friendship with heather . tracy : oh , i think it goes a lot deeper than that . edward : and she approved of that . that 's why she made heather a vessel . tracy : ha ! you ca n't seriously believe that ! edward : it 's all in front of your eyes . not only did heather use the secret code phrase prearranged by lila and felicia , but she told me that emily was in danger . lila wanted to protect her granddaughter . she used heather to do it . is that not a vote of confidence or what ?

[ scene_break ] tracy : your father can be incredibly heroic and charismatic . it 's very easy to get caught up in all of that . i know i did . but the difference is i also -- i knew that his drinking was out of control and i just chose to look the other way for years . lulu : how come ? tracy : i was scared . i did n't want to lose him . and then jake ... died and i lost him anyway . lulu : so , if you could go back to the beginning ... tracy : i do n't think i 'd do anything different . i loved him . i tried , unsuccessfully , to goad him down a path that would help him help himself , but , lulu , in the end , we 're all responsible for our own journey , and that includes your father , your brother , and you . lulu : and me . tracy : yeah , you . you are getting way too involved in other people 's problems . you need to focus on your own happiness . lulu : [ chuckles ] funny you should mention that . tracy : why ? what 's going on with dante ? [ scene_break ] olivia : i get your intention . it 's actually a very -- it 's a very sweet gesture , really . um , but i think your problem maybe was in the execution . dante : how so ? olivia : honestly ? a key and a nameplate ? you could have at least thrown in some ... dante : flowers ? olivia : or jewelry ? jewelry is always nice . dante : right . because asking her to move in with me on its own is not enough , right ? olivia : well , honey , it 's -- it 's beautiful , and it 's a big step and everything when you 're ready for it , but if you think about it , you really could have asked her to move in with you any day of the week . and , if you really think about it , it 's kind of like giving her , you know , a new catcher 's mitt and tickets to the yankees game . it 's kind of for you . this is lulu 's day , to be celebrated . you know , your grandfather brought your grandmother flowers every single year on her birthday , mother 's day , their anniversary , every year for 53 years . dante : ok , i get it . girls like flowers . olivia : yes , we do . it tells a girl that you 're thinking about her . and it 's not something that you just pull out of the air when you screwed something up , either . what ? did you screw something up ? dante : no . no , i did n't screw anything up . ok , well , maybe there was -- there 's one thing -- olivia : dante , what did you do ? dante : it 's not even anything i did . it 's something i did n't do . olivia : ok , what did n't you do ? dante : there 's something i know about that i have n't told lulu . olivia : honey , secrets do n't work in a relationship . you know that . dante : i know that . but , mom , i promised someone that i would not saying anything , and i think this is something that she 's better off not knowing , anyway . it 's for her own good . olivia : ok . you know what ? forget the keys and the nameplates . you can even forget the flowers . what lulu wants from you right now , i guarantee it , is the truth . [ scene_break ] lucky : is this all i 'm gon na wind up handing down to you , a gene of self- destruction ? i ca n't let that happen . oh , i just do n't want you to lose yourself . or the people who love you . i 'm gon na find a way , ok ? i 'm gon na find a way to watch out for you ... to watch over you . i ca n't lose anyone else . especially you . if i do ... i know . i know . [ scene_break ] dante : i hate keeping things from lulu . you know that . but this is different . it 's -- olivia : well , honey , why do n't you tell me what it is and maybe i can give you some advice . dante : yeah , i can tell you , then she finds out i told someone before i even told her , then i 'm in even worse trouble . olivia : well , what , is lulu in any kind of actual physical danger ? dante : no , nothing like that . olivia : well , then , dante , she does n't need you to be a cop with her right now . she needs you to be a man . a man that she can trust . how is she supposed to trust you if you ca n't be honest with her ? dante : i do n't need the secrets and lies lecture . olivia : look , if you love lulu , which you do , you have to tell her everything . you have to let her into your life , not just into your home . imagine how much harder it 's gon na be to keep this secret once she moves in with you . dante : that 's if she moves in with me , ma , at all . [ scene_break ] lulu : this is the part where you say i 'm better than dante and i should n't be with him and -- tracy : no , absolutely not . i am merely suggesting that if there is somebody in your life that you love , that 's what you need to focus on . lulu : it sounds like you 're encouraging me to be with dante . sonny 's son , that you hate . tracy : i never said i hated dante . i quite possibly said that i hated his father . lulu : then you like dante . tracy : i did n't say that either . i do n't know him well enough to hate him . the big picture is , i do n't want you chasing after the wrong goal . you need to focus on what 's important in your life and whether or not you truly love dante . lulu : what 's the catch ? tracy : no catch . i promise . lulu : so you 're what , you 're giving us your blessing ? tracy : ok , if that 's what you want to call it . lulu : is his mom holding something over your head so that you 're gon na be nice to us ? tracy : no . no . let 's just say i 've recently been reminded of some mistakes that i 've made in the past , and i do n't want the same thing happening to you . lulu : oh . well , ok . in that case , um , thank you . tracy : you 're welcome . now , get lost before i change my mind . lulu : [ laughs ] you know , my -- i think my dad 's missing out not being here and not being with you . but the past is the past . tracy : which always seems to catch up with us .

[ sniffles ] [ sighs ] i had a message from patrick . he was talking about emma and her dance recital . she 's gon na be the rosebud princess . luke : oh , sweet . that 's impressive . anna : i know . luke : [ chuckles ] anna : yeah . i 'm not doing anybody any good . my granddaughter , my son - in - law . i 'm not doing them any good chasing all these false hopes everywhere . i need to get back to port charles . t.j. : [ sighs ] it 's got to be some kind of hoax . molly : no , according to the article , the water in the reservoir tested positive . t.j. : [ sighs ] molly : i ca n't believe my mother used to date a man who wants to kill the whole town . t.j. : i feel for her about the bad relationship , but no guy , no matter how bad , could kill everyone in port charles , molly . molly : t.j. , look around . there 's no one here . who knows how many people have already died . t.j. : nobody 's died , okay ? look , death toll -- zero , all right ? people are just panicking , like someone else i know . molly : yeah . it 's true . i have a tendency to be dramatic . but the fact is , the water is contaminated , and i drank the water . t.j. : yo , shawn . can you please tell her how much toxic stuff you were exposed to in afghanistan ? shawn : everything from water to soil and the air . t.j. : see ? and he 's fine . shawn : look , the most dangerous thing we 're dealing with is panic . all right , i want you both to stay off the streets , all right ? people could start a riot , and there are n't enough cops to keep order . i already volunteered to help the pcpd if they need extra people . t.j. : i want to volunteer . shawn : yeah ? you want to volunteer ? clean behind the steam table . t.j. : [ sighs ] come on . you 're seriously gon na make me work when the whole town could be gone by tomorrow ? molly : what happened to `` we 're gon na be fine `` ? shawn : look , we are . no matter what , all you need to do is keep living . molly : you sound like my mother . shawn : [ chuckles ] molly : she told me it 's important to go on with my normal life . shawn : alexis is a smart lady . mcbain : right now , jerry jacks ' lawyer is updating him on the charges he faces . mayor lomax : you let him see a lawyer ? mcbain : yeah , he needs to understand the only chance he has of seeing the light of day again is to give us the counteragent . right now , we are searching for jacks ' accomplice . once we have him in custody , we 'll use them against each other to get the information we need . mayor lomax : i can see why the bureau has such faith in you . what do you need from me ? mcbain : just reassure the public , mayor . mayor lomax : hmm . i 'm about to hold a press conference and assure the people of port charles that the fbi is taking an active role and that we expect to bring this to a successful resolution . i hope i 'm telling the truth . mayor lomax ! [ indistinct shouting ] sam : did i hear you right that jerry has a lawyer ? mcbain : i thought you knew . your mom 's with him right now . sam : my mother is jerry 's attorney ? mcbain : dante barred her from the cells . she went and got a judge , and she got a court order . sam : w - why ? why would my mother want to be his attorney ? it does n't make any sense . what is she doing ? mcbain : she thinks she can get through to him . jerry : you 're here as my attorney ? alexis : everyone 's entitled to counsel , jerry . even you . jerry : if this is your way of thanking me for saving your life , a simple file in a butter cake would have sufficed . alexis : i do n't bake . you know that . and i ca n't thank you for anything unless you save everybody else . tracy : joseph . what are you doing here ? joe jr. : i brought you something . tracy : really ? the cure ? just kidding . if you had the cure , you 'd be taking it right to the police . joe jr. : i 'm afraid this is the best i could do . todd : come on in , johnny . you know , the -- the thing about being close to death is that it makes life important , you know . you realize what your priorities are . apparently , carly did n't bother to tell you where she was . johnny : how 'd you get in here anyway ? what ? did you jimmy the lock ? todd : carly 's with her daughter . she 's with her husband . johnny : ex - husband . todd : i do n't know about that . i do n't know what you were thinking letting her hang out with the father of her children , billionaire , the man who gave me the best handshake i 've ever had in my life . johnny : i was giving them space . todd : yeah ? maybe you were spending time with jerry jacks . we both know that he had an accomplice , right ? somebody dropped josslyn off at wyndemere . and we both know that you do n't have a problem jeopardizing little girls . jax : so jason was right . ewen and jerry are working together . patrick : when ewen saw jerry broadcast , he panicked . he knocked me over the head with a bat and he took elizabeth . the police are looking for them right now . but with the roadblocks , they 're probably still in the port charles vicinity . jax : okay , so now that we know jerry 's not lying about contaminating the water supply , we ca n't just sit around and wait for him to hand over the counteragent . patrick : which is why i asked you to come here . i 'd like to take a sample of josslyn 's blood . johnny : you really think i 'm running around town contaminating the water supply ? todd : i think you 're capable of it , yeah . johnny : i got no interest in wiping out port charles . todd : no , you just want to wipe out my daughter 's daughter , my daughter 's boyfriend . johnny : you really want to go there right now ? todd : yeah , you know what ? if we 're all gon na die , let 's do that . johnny : okay . todd : let 's go there right now . johnny : all right . just do n't forget that i know your secret , that sam 's baby 's alive and well and living in llanview as your ex - wife 's son . todd : i did that kid a favor getting him out of town , right , keeping him away from jerry 's lunacy , away from this pathogen . johnny : maybe you sold jerry more than just access to your cable franchise . maybe you 're the one that 's working for him . todd : no , i have no history with jerry jacks . when he needed help , where do you think he went ? how much you want to bet the first place that he looked was at a lowlife gangster ? tracy : that is very sweet of you , uh , but the mayor just announced the tap water 's safe to drink again . joe jr. : not that tracy quartermaine drinks tap water . [ chuckles ] tracy : tracy quartermaine takes bubble baths . joe jr. : nice . but i might stay out of the tub in the short term if i were you , no matter what the mayor says . tracy : what difference does it make ? we 've already been exposed . it 's too late . joe jr. : not necessarily . molly : it does help to keep busy . that 's what my mom does when she 's worried . t.j. : shocking . shawn : where is your mom ? at work ? molly : uh , no . she said something about going to see dr. drake at the hospital . shawn : hmm . look , i 've got something i need to do . i need both you guys to keep your eyes on things , okay ? t.j. : all right , well , i 'm not doing the ketchups , okay ? shawn : you make that call yet ? t.j. : when did i have the chance ? shawn : t.j. , get it done . or i will when i get back . molly : what call ? t.j. : to my mother . i mean , but what am i supposed to say ? she sent me here to keep out of trouble . molly : yeah , but now you have to tell her it was a mistake . t.j. : no . [ sighs ] it was the best thing that ever happened to me . alexis : you say that you care about me . jerry : but i do . alexis : then take care of the people that i care about like you did for josslyn and me . jerry : it 's too late , i 'm afraid . the inoculation has to be administered before exposure to the pathogen . i 'm in limited supply . alexis : you mentioned a counteragent . jerry : yes , i did . alexis : jerry , people are starting to get sick . the elderly , people who -- jerry : i ca n't take care of the whole world , alexis . however , i did and will take care of you . alexis : two of my daughters have been exposed . jerry : yes , i know . i know . i 'm sure it must be very distressing to you . alexis : if you cared about me , w - why would you put my -- my children at risk ? jerry : i do care about you , alexis , more than you ever thought . i went through a great deal of trouble to see you again . alexis : i 'm here . just tell me what you want . jerry : i want you to reciprocate . alexis : you want me to care about you ? okay . then prove -- prove that you have some empathy . jerry : [ sighs ] you know ... on the one hand , you ask ... for empathy and compassion , and that borders on the delusional . but on the other hand , it gives me the opportunity to redeem myself , and i 'll do it . i 'll save them . for you . patrick : alexis came in for tests already , and i 'd like to run the same test on josslyn . if we can isolate what it is that jerry injected , then maybe we can find a counteragent . jax : i do n't think jerry would have told us that he immunized alexis and josslyn if that were possible . patrick : i get this . this is a long shot . i 'm not a researcher . i relied on robin for that . but this is exactly what robin would do . carly : absolutely . it 's okay . jax : all right . carly : baby , dr. drake is gon na give your arm a tiny , little prick and just take out a little blood , okay ? jax : yeah , daddy 's gon na be with you the whole time , all right ? and when this is over , we can do anything you want . josslyn : can we go out on the boat ? jax : what boat ? carly : michael has a speedboat , and he likes to let josslyn drive . jax : wow . you like to go fast , do n't you ? josslyn : yeah . jax : so does daddy . i 'll tell you what . when all this is over and everybody 's feeling better , i 'm gon na find the fastest speedboat and i 'm gon na take you on it , okay ? epiphany : okay , we 're all set up for josslyn in exam two . jax : thanks . epiphany : uh , can you go right on ahead and i 'll meet you in there . patrick : epiphany , what if i ca n't do this ? what if i 'm subjecting an innocent girl to tests that she does n't need ? i 'm not a researcher . epiphany : well , that 's the way it feels , doctor . unlike surgery , you do n't get to start with an answer here . so you need to ask yourself , are you man enough to follow in your wife 's footsteps ? anna : thank you . luke : you 're welcome . anna : for everything . is that good ? luke : mmm . anna : thank you for leaving your hospital bed and traveling halfway around the globe on what you already told me was a wild goose chase . luke : ooh , i love me some wild gooses . anna : you 've been holding my hand for months now . luke : you know , this trip was a terrible disappointment , but it was n't a mistake . you had to follow any clue , any opportunity to find out if robin was alive . anna : i wanted a miracle . luke : i 'm so sorry you did n't get one . anna : i did . just doing my job . what you 've become in my life . i do n't know if you realize , but you kind of helped to give me back myself , if that makes sense . and you helped me through the worst of it and showed me that there was a possibility to be happy . and given everything i 've been through , i think that 's nothing short of a miracle . apart from the little incident with heather . luke : well , heather is now locked up in ferncliff , never to see the light of day if steven lars has anything to say about it . anna : oh , my gosh . i do not envy him -- that mother . you got to try this in there . it 's delicious . luke : okay . i 'll do it . anna : [ chuckles ] luke : i lost it . ah , found it . anna : that 's good . the swiss are good at this stuff . luke : mmm . ooh , wow . watches , anonymous banking , and now this ? the swiss are okay by me . anna : it 's nice here . i want to get home , though . i just want to -- i just want to be ordinary , you know . i just want to go for a walk on the docks hand in hand , have dinner , play pool afterwards . i 'm sorry . i 'm making a lot of assumptions . luke : no . no . no . yes . yes to the walk on the docks . yes to playing pool after dinner . yes to all of it . yes to anything with you . yes . anna : really ? luke : yes . yes . anna : mm . joe jr. : the bastard who did this , he did say that there , uh , there was an antidote . tracy : yeah , well , if he 's gon na share , he better hurry up 'cause my father 's really sick . you know what the symptoms are ? joe jr. : i ca n't say i do . tracy : well , if my father 's any indication , you apparently start by feeling overheated . joe jr. : hmm . how 's your breathing ? tracy : actually , you take my breath away . joe jr. : you are a little warm . tracy : i think your pulse is elevated . joe jr. : is it now ? [ chuckles ] johnny : i drank the water , too , all right ? i 'm in the same boat as everybody else . todd : nice knowing you , johnny . i 'll let carly know you stopped by to say goodbye . johnny : i 'm not going anywhere . and what the hell are you still doing here ? todd : i have business with carly . johnny : what kind ? todd : the private kind . johnny : ah . see , i think i know what 's going on here . i think you want me to leave so that you can tell carly that i 'm responsible for causing that accident that killed your granddaughter , huh ? josslyn : mommy , can i have green ? [ all coughing ] patrick : josslyn , i want to thank you so much for being so brave . the tests that you just did could help . very important , so thank you . carly : think you 're gon na need anything else from her ? patrick : we 're gon na work on pairing alexis ' results with joss ' right now . and believe me , as soon as we know anything , i 'll let you know . carly : okay . i hope it helps . patrick : me , too . carly : how 's emma ? patrick : so far , she 's fine . carly : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i - i just -- patrick : i know . this is why we need to find the counteragent , okay ? carly : yeah . patrick : i 'll let you know . carly : thank you . patrick : thank you , kiddo . shawn : carly ? carly : hey . hey , shawn . shawn : hello , josslyn . carly : josslyn , can you say hi to shawn ? josslyn : hi , shawn . shawn : hey . it 's good to see you looking so well , little lady . carly : hey . michael told me you led a prayer for josslyn when she was sick . shawn : yeah , i just wish there was something else i can do , you know ? i - i feel so powerless . it 's hard to imagine your whole life over just like that . carly : i know . i guess we just all assume we 're gon na live forever , huh ? maybe it 's an opportunity . maybe it 's a chance for us to finish some unfinished business . mr. jacks , are you here to bail out your brother ? [ indistinct shouting ] jax : sam . sam : jax . jax : lieutenant mcbain , i understand that you 're in charge . i need to speak with my brother . alexis : we can argue a plea bargain . jerry : no , no , no , no . that wo n't be necessary . i already said in the broadcast that i would distribute the counteragent if i got what i wanted . alexis : okay . this is a negotiation , then . my mistake . jerry : no , no , no , no . wait until you hear what i 'm asking of you . alexis : then tell me what you want , jerry . name your price . anything . i will get it for you . jerry : really ? even if all i want more than anything in the world is to spend one more night with you ? alexis : if spending another night with you means that my children will live , then yes . i agree . carly : so , how are things going with t.j. ? shawn : oh , we 've come a long way , and , you know , he feels like family . carly : that 's great . shawn : well , there is another person , a woman . carly : that girl you were seeing . shawn : oh , no , no , no . that 's over . no , i ended it when i realized that i had feelings for someone else . well , unfortunately , i never got a chance to tell this other woman how i felt . epiphany : we 're monitoring your husband , and we have him on fluids . woman : i - i want to stay with him . epiphany : look , i will have to let you know when we move him to a room , okay ? carly : hey . you may not have as much time as you think , okay ? come on , baby . let 's get home . back to the hotel and wait for daddy , all right ? come on . shawn : see you , josslyn . [ coughing ] [ sighs ] alexis : this is alexis davis . i ca n't come to the phone right now . leave a message and i 'll return your call as soon as possible . [ beep ] shawn : alexis , hey . this is shawn . jerry : alexis , as much as it would mean to me to be with you again , i ca n't deliver the counteragent for the simple pleasure of your company . alexis : go to hell . i mean it . you need to stop playing games and you tell me what you want ! jerry : do you hate me ? alexis : what answer will get my daughters the counteragent ? jerry : a truthful one . did you ever feel anything for me at all ? alexis : yes . i thought you were damaged but salvageable . i did n't know that there was nothing inside and that there was no humanity to salvage . jerry : but you enjoyed my company . alexis : stop it . jerry : i enjoyed yours , too . alexis : tell me what you want . tell me what you want and i will get it ! jerry : all right ! it 's time . let 's make a deal . anna : the last time we did this , we had tracy to worry about . luke : yeah . yeah . you know , we had the conversation , she and i . anna : did you ? luke : mm - hmm . anna : and ? luke : and i think we know where we stand now . anna : mm - hmm . luke : i also think there might be a new man in the picture . anna : oh . tracy : well , if that -- whoo ! -- is what contaminated water can do ... joe jr. : bottoms up . tracy : something 's happening . this is not me . the last two out of three times that i was in the same room with you , i succumbed . you know what ? it 's you . it 's you . i bet women are in the habit of throwing themselves at your feet . joe jr. : not hardly . tracy : how do you feel ? joe jr. : great . tracy : me , too . it 's not the poison . joe jr. : it must be the chemistry . tracy : there 's chemistry . joe jr. : i 'd like to think that it 's more than that . i like you . tracy : i like you . am i the unluckiest woman that you walked into my life at this particular moment , or am i ... the luckiest ? t.j. : [ sighs ] there 's plenty of time to call my mom . molly : she might call you . i 'd call my dad if i knew how to reach him . he 's been living in l.a. , but the last few letters i 've sent have come back `` addressee unknown . `` if i had the time , i 'd go looking for him . actually , there are a lot of things i 'd do if i had the time . t.j. : like what ? molly : things i 've never done . t.j. : i 've never been to yankee stadium . molly : i have never learned greek . t.j. : [ scoffs ] molly : what ? this is my bucket list , okay ? t.j. : bucket list . hmm . that 's a great idea . molly : t.j. , we might not even last another night . t.j. : and if we do , then i 'm not wasting any more time . deal ? molly : deal . t.j. : all right . jax : has jerry said anything to you since last night ? mcbain : not yet . alexis : jax ? jax : alexis . hey . alexis : i am so happy to see you . actually , maybe not . did you get vaccinated ? jax : jerry made arrangements for me to get stranded in shanghai by customs , but , uh , i have more friends in customs than he does . alexis : so you were exposed ? jax : yep , along with the rest of the town . look , i 'm really sorry . i had no idea that my brother was planning any of this . sam : it 's not your fault . you 're not to blame for what your brother did . mcbain : look , everybody wants something , right ? what 's your brother after ? alexis : i know . he told me what he wants in exchange for the counteragent . todd : you know , if you 're paranoid , johnny , it 's probably just your guilty conscience . johnny : why are you here ? todd : why am i here ? johnny : yeah . todd : i 'm looking for carly 's husband . johnny : why ? todd : why ? because he 's jerry jacks ' brother . that 's why . because i want to know everything i can about jerry . i want to know his hobbies , his interests , blonde , brunette , redhead . i want something that i can use for leverage ! something that 'll get him to cough up this antidote ! johnny , if you have any ideas , please share them . johnny : sorry . fresh out . todd : creative guy like you . you know , it 's -- it 's not an amateur move getting a - a mentally unstable woman to -- to -- to admit that she committed all of your crimes . johnny : oh , right . right . this coming from the guy who employed a loon like heather webber . todd : i ca n't wait to see the look on carly 's face when i tell her what you 've done . carly : what did johnny do this time ? mcbain : okay , so what does he want ? alexis : a lot of money . mcbain : define `` a lot . `` alexis : jerry would never ask for just a flat $ 100 million . the number was so odd , i had to write it down . there you go . all right , i 'm going to the hospital . and then i - i want you to come to the house , right , all of us together except for kristina . sam : well , according to her text , she said that she was safely away , whatever that means . alexis : okay , fine . under any other circumstances , i would throttle her . right now , i am very relieved . i 'll see you . and you , i would like to see more of you . for years and years , if i have my way . jax : okay . bye . so , how much did my brother ask for ? mcbain : $ 88,111,000 . sam : can i see that ? mcbain : mm - hmm . sam : 8 - 8 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 ? jax : yeah . maybe not such a strange number after all . carly : josslyn 's watching tv . keep your voices down . what the hell 's going on ? johnny : todd seems to be convinced that i 'm jerry 's accomplice . carly : really ? what are you gon na blame johnny for next ? global warming ? todd : pretty sure he knows where hoffa 's buried . carly : go . todd : what ? carly : go . todd : me ? carly : if these are my last hours , i do n't want to spend them being mad at you . todd : oh , you 'll spend them with him . carly : todd . please . todd : where 's jax ? carly : he 's at the police station . why ?

[ sighs ] i ... i lied . anna : to robert ? luke : to robert , to you , to everybody . when i told robert that ethan was his son ... i was lying . alexis : how is it going ? patrick : not good . people are stacking up . alexis : [ sighs ] well , i 'm not gon na keep you . i just want to find out if you had any luck with the sample . patrick : not yet . but i 'm not gon na give up . i 'll let you know . alexis : thank you .

[ chuckles ] that 's a little extreme . i know i 'm nobody 's angel , but do you really think i 'm a force of darkness ? griffin : let 's just change the subject . i - i 'll take my underwear back now , please . do you mind leaving so i can change in peace ? claudette : oh , please . it 's practically pitch - black . and yes , i do mind . we have stuff to talk about . griffin : here ? claudette : yeah . i would 've met on your terms if you had answered my calls or my texts , and please do n't pretend that we do n't have anything to talk about , okay ? even you ca n't be in that much denial . we have unfinished business . and it started when you kissed me .

[ scene_break ] nina : okay , listen . maxie is completely insecure about claudette . she was willing to sabotage crimson to get claudette fired , so how do you think she interpreted your anger toward griffin ? nathan : i mean , she must have thought that i was so jealous and -- and so fixated on claudette and griffin that i did n't even know she was there or that it did n't matter to me that she was there . nina : she felt insecure and inconsequential . let me tell you something . when you 're the odd man out , it 's horrible . when you 're in love with someone , and they 're fixated on someone else , it crushes your self - confidence . nathan : i do n't -- i do n't know how i could 've treated her that way . you know , maxie 's everything to me . nina : then you better act fast before you lose her .

at the hospital , claudette goes to find griffin , makes it clear she wants him and that she believes he still wants her . he asks her what about nathan , to which she assures him she has no feelings for her ex husband and never loved him . yet griffin wonders why , in that case , and tells her she needs to be honest to him , with why she is in town and what her unfinished issue and secret with nathan is all about . meanwhile , maxie and nathan are both wondering about the future of their relationship , whether they have a future , whether he 's still in love with claudette and whether she should commit to him or believe he 's committed to her . after she talks to her mom and he talks to his sister , they meet together , discuss their issues and decide they want to be together and move forward and he declares to her he 's done with claudette . they each send texts to felicia and to nina , who happily declare they will be in - laws . yet claudette comes by to notice that and is not happy . elizabeth has been pushed down the hospital stairs by an `` unseen `` person as soon as the power gets turned off unexpectedly throughout the hospital . franco rushes to see her and finds her passed out and injured at the bottom of the stairs and sees hayden walking down the stairs toward her . the doctors rush to treat her although it appears she is critical and may not make it . hayden looks like the obvious suspect , especially after being heard by many people expressing her `` anger and need for revenge `` upon elizabeth for having the diamonds . meanwhile , ava has discovered that the mysterious cuff links , in question , which were found in the hospital when mysterious murders occur , belong to paul . she goes to his hotel room and sees he 's not there although she remembers many conversations they 've had where he 's expressed he 's extremely `` worried `` about having his secrets exposed , which seem like there 's more he needs to hide than just his affair with her . with that , she knows she needs to find something `` significant `` on him so that he can no longer threaten her with the flash drive . shortly thereafter , she discovers what appears to be a needle / syringe with a lethal poison that paul hides . while monica is alone in the dark locker room , unknown to her , paul comes up behind her with the needle and the lethal poison ready to inject her from behind .

[ faith grunts ] nikolas : we struggled , and faith 's gun went off .

[ scene_break ] lulu : if everything you just told me was true , if you had an abortion and you live to regret it , then i 'm sorry . i really am . i never thought that it would be an easy thing to do , but you made a choice based on what was right for you at the time . you made a choice about your life , about your future , and about your body . should n't i have that same right ? tracy : i want you to make an informed decision . lulu : if someone had made this speech to you when you were facing an unwanted pregnancy , would you have changed your mind ? tracy : i ca n't answer that . i never discussed it with anybody , and i certainly hope that you 're not going to , either . lulu : my lips are sealed , okay ? i know that this is no one else 's business , tracy . i wish that a few less people knew about mine . but why are you telling me this ? tracy : to help you . lulu : if this is another `` i see you in myself `` moment , i do n't buy it . i know that we 're nothing alike and i know that you 're just working me so that i 'll have this baby . tracy : do i strike you as someone who likes being called `` granny `` ? have you ever seen me touch a baby , change a diaper , or make a batch of chocolate chip cookies ? what i am is very protective of dillon , and therein lies my dilemma . if my son becomes a father at this very young age , it will quite likely ruin the rest of his life , and then there 's my father , always in search of the next quartermaine heir . poor , deluded man still believes that next year 's model will be the perfect one , better than the lemons he 's already got . and he will probably bypass all the rest of us and endow your baby with the family fortune . all of that means that for me to convince you to give birth to this baby comes at great personal expense to me . lulu : then why do n't you just save yourself the trouble and stay out of it ? tracy : because you got pregnant by my son on my watch . enough mistakes have been made . i can not stand idly by and watch you make another one . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't understand , jason . before i left , we talked and you realized it was pointless for you and sam to be apart . jason : does n't matter anymore . carly : did you or did you not drive over there and tell sam that you wanted to be with her and that you loved her ? jason : other stuff happened . carly : like what ? jason : i -- i really do n't want to talk about it . carly : what did sam do to you ? jason : sam and i wo n't be getting back together . just , you know , forget about it and move on .

[ gentle piano music ] [ scene_break ] lulu : the biggest mistake that i could make would be to have a child that is not wanted . tracy : daddy certainly wants it . lulu : oh . well , when he 's ready to carry it around for nine months and he can take care of it for the rest of his life , then he gets a say . but with all due respect , mr. quartermaine is a very old man and he is in no position to be making any decisions about anybody 's baby . tracy : okay , lulu . now you have to tell me what this is really about . lulu : it 's about exactly what i 've been saying -- one unwanted child per family is enough . tracy : just because your father is absentee does not make you unwanted . lulu : have you noticed how much older my brothers are than me ? i 'm the definition of `` oops . `` i am lulu the afterthought . i am the one that someone -- grandma lesley , aunt bobbie , even you -- has to worry about taking care of . tracy : sorry . i have no sympathy for somebody who can make a list of all the people that care about her . as for your father -- well , there are many things i mistrust about luke spencer . one of them is not how much he loves you . lulu : oh , okay , fine . great , he 's the father of the year . he worships the ground that i walk on and the fact that he is conveniently out of town almost , oh , all the time is just his way of showing me affection . you know what ? i 'm actually relieved that he 's not here right now because if he was , it would be another person getting in my face and telling me what to do .

jason : i need to know what happened that day in the coffeehouse . spinelli : i mean , the jackal told you all that transpired . i -- i was pummeled to a pitiful pulp , and then forced to watch while the simian one sullied fair lulu 's lips . jason : see , i need you to take me through it again , okay , step by step , starting from when logan walked through the door . spinelli : why ? jason : why ? because you told me that he forced lulu . he 's not going to do it again . [ scene_break ] carly : i realize i 'm the last person that should be telling you to look before you leap , but i 'm going to -- i have to . this thing with logan is happening really fast , so how much do you really know about him -- or is that the attraction ? lulu : well , there are a lot of things that logan keeps to himself , things that i 'm -- i 'm probably better off not knowing right now . yeah , i 'm still curious . i mean , it 's like being afraid of the dark but still wanting to walk through it . does that make sense ? carly : more than you know . lulu : what i can see is that logan respects me . and he has been so patient with all of my issues , and it just feels so nice to trust someone with my insecurities and my feelings and my body . i do n't know -- when i 'm with logan i feel like anything can happen . is that crazy ? [ scene_break ] maxie : what 's the matter ? you having second thoughts about cheating on lulu ? logan : how 's coop going to feel about this ? maxie : you are stalling . logan : all right , you would n't be here begging for it if coop was keeping you satisfied , but , obviously , he 's not man enough to keep up his end of the deal . maxie : well , so far , he 's got more to offer than you . logan : oh -- maxie : you know , maybe i should just tell lulu about our little bet -- how you only agreed to sleep with her to win ?

[ scene_break ] carly : i know i told you that without chemistry , you could n't have a relationship , but honesty is pretty important , too . lulu : logan would n't lie to me -- i think . carly : okay . what about the fact that he is scott baldwin 's illegitimate son ? your dad would freak if he knew you were looking at him . lulu : since when do you care what my dad thinks ? carly : i do n't care what your dad thinks , but i know you care what your dad thinks . what do you really know about logan -- and these are questions you should be able to answer if you 're sleeping with him . lulu : i know that logan grew up in texas ; he was raised by a single mother . he went into the army after high school -- which is actually pretty surprising , considering he has a serious problem with authority . carly : okay , why is that ? lulu : i just do n't see logan as the type of guy to take orders . carly : he 's taking orders from sonny and jason . lulu : not the safest job , but it 's kind of sexy , do n't you think ? carly : oh , my gosh . bad boys -- you know , they 're fun for a few rides around the track , but if they get bored , they can dump you like a piece of garbage . lulu : i know that logan can act all cocky and macho , but -- but deep down , he 's really sweet . like , on my birthday , he surprised me with a chocolate cake , and this beautiful bracelet -- carly : that you 're not wearing . lulu : i must have left it at logan 's on accident . the point is that logan is not a stereotypical bad boy . carly : okay . a guy with a rough exterior can have a sensitive soul -- i will give you that , because there 's jason , but he is an exception to the rule . most guys who seem damaged usually are . lulu : i feel good when i 'm with logan -- is that wrong ? carly : no , no , no , no , okay ? no , it 's not wrong ; you should feel good when you 're with him . ugh . okay . i 'm going to tell you a story , and maybe it will help you with your situation , maybe it wo n't . the first time i had sex with jason , i did n't even know his name . he was this smoking - hot guy who lived above jake 's , and i walked in the bar , i hit on him , and next thing you know , we 're upstairs having sex in his room . to say it was phenomenal is an understatement . but i told him all i wanted was a sexual relationship . i did n't want to know his name , i did n't want to know anything about him , and the second he said okay , i wanted more . i did . i wanted that emotional connection . lulu : what does this have to do with logan and me ? carly : great sex can be intoxicating , and it can make you think a relationship exists when it does n't , so you have to make sure that it does . lulu : you think that i 'm imagining how i feel about logan ? carly : no . no , i do n't -- you know what ? i do n't know . i know that i have to go to the pharmacy and pick up a prescription for morgan . can you please stay with the boys -- i wo n't have to drag them back out of the house again -- please ? lulu : yeah , yeah , yeah , sure . carly : okay , great . we 're going to talk later , and maybe i 'll come up with something better to say that 'll help you . lulu : uh - huh -- that 'd be nice . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] maxie : oh . you can admit it at any time . logan : admit what ? maxie : that i 'm better at this than lulu . logan : well , you should be , maxie -- you 've had enough experience , have n't you ? maxie : you 're not exactly the poster boy for love and commitment . logan : no , i 'm sure that title goes to coop -- poor bastard . does n't have a clue who you are , but he 's going to find out soon enough . maxie : is that supposed to be some kind of threat to keep me quiet ? logan : come on , maxie . you obviously do n't have much with coop , or you would n't be here with me , would you ? maxie : oh -- please , logan . and , what , you think what you have with little miss lonely heart is deeper ? logan : doing you proves i do n't care about lulu at all . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal appreciates your concern , but i -- i assure you , fair lulu escaped the incident without injury , and -- so i -- i just do n't see the point in unleashing deadly force upon the unworthy one -- be it warranted or not . jason : just tell me what happened . spinelli : i mean , i would come off wimpy if i , you know , ran crying to my wise - but - lethal mentor , seeking assistance with the crabby commando . i mean , you know , the jackal is obviously a lover , not a fighter , but i would never ask nor expect you to intervene on my behalf . i was just -- i was just unloading my not - so - secret pain to you , my trusted and loyal friend . i never intended for the crabby commando to disappear into the ether . jason : did you provoke him ? spinelli : i -- i may have commented on the unworthy one 's simian ways , or maybe thrown an insult or two his way , but , i mean , nothing that warranted the beat - down that was most painfully received . jason : what did lulu do after logan hit you ? spinelli : the brave blond one was in the process of , you know , warning the crabby commando off , when he forced an unwanted kiss on her lips . and i , the jackal , was ready to rise to her -- her defense , when the clean - cut cadet , cooper barrett , you know , beat -- beat him to it , so -- and he restrained him from further . but -- no -- okay , okay , look -- look , look , look , okay , the blond one has forgiven the simian one 's transgressions , she has . it 's -- so , you know , out of respect for her , i think we should just -- just let it go , you know ? i mean , all the -- all the major damage has been done already .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : if you 're hungry , i made lasagna . there 's a whole pan in the fridge . elizabeth : so is this how it 's going to be from now on -- you 'll just assume sam is right and i 'm wrong without even hearing my side of the story ? lucky : sam has never given me a reason not to trust her .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't pretend to know kristina more than you do , but she 's gon na be in a lot of pain . alexis : she is . which is why we have to help her get back to normal as quickly as possible . sonny : and i 'm telling you , if she does n't admit to this , she does n't have to answer anybody , she will be punishing herself . alexis : like you punish yourself ? sonny : heh . why do you have to make it about me ? alexis : you 're her father . sonny : right . alexis : i 'm her mother . and together we 're gon na have to help her understand how wrong she was , help her deal with it , and then help her get over it . sonny : absolutely . as long as you do n't keep me out of my child 's life anymore . alexis : if i kept kristina at a distance , it 's because i was scared . but you were culpable in that you did n't try to overcome that . sonny : i admit i neglected kristina , and you know what , it 's time that my daughter gets what she needs from her father . hold on . max ! i need you here now . [ scene_break ] dominic : ma , you know i love you , but i ca n't come over every time you call me . it 'll blow my cover . olivia : do n't do me any favors , all right . dominic : got any manicotti in the fridge ? olivia : who do i look like , your grandmother , trying to feed your face every 10 seconds so you love me more ? go see what 's in the fridge and help yourself . after we have a chat . dominic : ahh . evidence there 's no such thing as a free meal . olivia : yeah . jason found kristina and michael in mexico . he 's bringing them home right now . dominic : that 'll make sonny cheerful . olivia : yes . do the math . sonny has been very distracted with his kids missing and claudia losing the baby . he 's not gon na be distracted anymore . okay , with both his kids tucked safely back in bed , he 's gon na be able to focus . he 's gon na notice suspicious behavior . dominic : okay , so i 'll have to be more careful , not my usual reckless self . olivia : uh , and jason morgan , i believe that his reputation speaks for itself . you need to get out of town before they both figure out that you 're undercover . dominic : [ scoffs ] you wound me , ma . i mean , with all my expertise and training , you do n't think i can fool sonny corinthos and his number one hit man ? olivia : i 'm not kidding . i 'm not kidding . you 've got to get out of town , or i will find a way to force you out . dominic : did you just threaten me ? because i 'm not 10 years old . we 're not in little league here . you ca n't put me out for disobeying you . olivia : i 'm trying to save your life . dominic : or sonny and john zacchara . olivia : hey , do n't insult me . dominic : well , then do n't disrespect me . olivia : honey , sonny will have you killed . i do n't think you have any idea what that actually means . dominic : ma , what kind of a cop would i be if i bailed on a job just because my mother thought it was too dangerous ? what kind of a man would i be ? olivia : i have never tried to interfere with your work . never . i am so proud of what you have chosen to do with your life . and i thank god every day that he gave me such an amazing son . okay , that 's why i 'm not gon na sit by and keep my mouth shut while you throw your life away . dominic : wow , way to have faith in me . olivia : honey , have you even considered all the ways that this could go wrong ? dominic : yeah . one of them is you . you 're old friends with sonny . you 're sleeping with his brother - in - law . right now you are the most dangerous part of this whole job . if you say something , if you slip up . olivia : sonny will never hear about you from me . dominic : and johnny ? olivia : i tried to break it off with him . i thought i could . dominic : i love you , ma . and look , i 'm the one who got blessed . i 'm grateful for you giving me the heads up about sonny 's kids coming home . i 'll keep an extra eye out . olivia : what , you got 3 of them now ? dominic : i 'll be careful . for you i 'll be extra careful . but i 'm too far into this to back out now . see ya . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] michael : if anyone should understand what i 'm going through , it 's you . after your accident , you did n't fit right back into your old life so you got a new one . why should n't i get a new one , too ? jason : are we really gon na sit here and compare brain damage ? because i had no memory . i did n't feel connected to anybody . i thought i was alone . so you know what , i figured i would go out and do whatever the hell i wanted and do it and not hurt anybody , but that was n't the case . michael : so did you feel sorry about leaving the quartermaines ? jason : i 'm sorry that i hurt them the way that i did and i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . i just do n't want you to make the same mistakes i made . i do n't want you to regret hurting your family , especially morgan . michael : morgan ? morgan 's better off without me . if i go home , i 'll be around a bunch of people who feel nothing but sorry for me . i want a life where getting shot does n't define me . jason : it does n't have to define you . you have people who love you , who care about you , who need you . michael : you want to bring me home for mom . you ca n't stand to fail her . it 's my life . jason : and that 's why it has to be your choice . [ scene_break ] kristina : it was n't my idea for michael to confess . being here and being on the run , that was all michael 's idea . sam : and you were just going along for the ride . kristina : claudia was the one who lost her baby that night . when i heard about it , i felt horrible . sam : yeah , but you did n't feel horrible enough to tell me the truth when i asked you about it or to go to the police or to tell michael , for crying out loud . you knew how much guilt that kid is carrying around . kristina : michael knows the truth now , and it 's up to him to decide what he wants to do . sam : what about you ? because you do n't have an opinion . kristina : you said mom handled it . sam : no , i said mom confessed . this is far from handled . kristina : she 's not in jail or anything , right ? sam : you know , when i was a kid , i had no problem letting other people take blame for the mistakes i made . i would just keep my mouth shut and walk along . kristina : but i ca n't ? is that what you 're saying ? sam : well , we already talked about this , kristina . the first lie leads to bigger lies . and that leads to facing the consequences of your actions . kristina : i told you i feel bad . sam : hey , listen to me . this is not like staying past your curfew . you ran a pregnant woman off the road . you cover that up , you 're gon na live with that for a really long time . kristina : i ca n't risk telling . sam : this is not a risk . this -- look at me -- is the truth . kristina : i do n't get to make mistakes like that , sam . i have college plans , everything my mom wants me to do . sam : you made a mistake . lying about it , it 's gon na make it so much worse . kristina : i heard you the first 10 times . this just shows me that you do n't get what i 'm saying . sam : get what ? kristina : mom does n't care if i tell the truth . she cares about me staying on track and being the perfect daughter . that 's why she lied . that 's why she covered for me . [ scene_break ] sonny : all those times i was supposed to see kristina and you arranged for her to be out of town or busy , whatever . the reason i let it go is 'cause i did n't want her to be in the middle of a mine field , which was our relationship . and after michael got shot , of course i avoided her , because i did n't want her in harm 's way . alexis : and i do n't suppose it counts at all that i loved her and gave her every opportunity to succeed . sonny : and look how well that 's turned out . alexis : all right . sonny : okay , you know , i have to step up now . all those fights we had in court about visitation , it 's now in effect . no more excuses . alexis : okay . no more excuses . sonny : oh , you 're not gon na fight me . that 's a first . i 'm gon na be in kristina 's life . alexis : what the hell ? when did my daughter turn into this delinquent ? honestly , she was always reliable , she was dependable . it seemed to change ever since this -- well , until ... sonny : until what ? alexis : i 'm not putting any blame here , i 'm not . i 'm just making a note of the timing . sonny : okay . alexis : but i noticed kristina really starting to act out once michael woke up . [ scene_break ] claudia : bastards . johnny : claudia , what the hell 's going on ? claudia : they 're covering for her . i hate them . i hate all of them . johnny : okay , i really ca n't be -- claudia : you know what , john , you should hear them . you should hear them . like she 's the only person who matters . like my son , my little baby , is nothing but an inconvenience . johnny : okay , if something happened that involved the loss of the baby -- claudia : yeah , there is something that happened . alexis did not cause the accident . it was kristina . kristina was driving without a license . she forced my car off the road . she killed my baby . and sonny and alexis are back at the house right now strategizing about how to save their little girl 's ass , like my son is nothing but a dirty little secret that has to be covered up . they 're not gon na get away with this . [ scene_break ] sam : i 've said what i needed to say . i think you can work the rest out with your parents . [ door opens ] [ jason sighs ] kristina : where 's michael ? jason : he 's at the boat shack . he says he wants to stay . sam : did you tell him he was n't a suspect anymore ? jason : yeah , it did n't matter . kristina : fine . you might as well hear it from me . michael 's innocent . so is my mother . i was the one who forced claudia off the road . i was driving without a license . i got in a fight with my boyfriend , and i was crying . it was stupid , and i 'm sorry . this is where you lay into me for ruining michael 's life . jason : everybody makes mistakes . it 's how you face up to them that counts . kristina : what 'd you guys do , make notes ? never mind . i have to go . sam : wait a minute . kristina -- kristina : do n't worry , i 'm not gon na run away . i just have to figure something out . sam : thank you ... for not laying into her with both feet , 'cause i have a feeling when she gets home , things are gon na get a lot worse . [ scene_break ] kiefer : i brought you peanut butter cookies from kelly 's . k told me they 're your favorite . molly : oh , that 's really nice . thank you . kiefer : hey , i wanted you to know i 'm not this total jerk that morgan says i am . molly : i know . hey , would you like some lemonade ? kiefer : maybe . that 's my favorite . molly : i know that , too . you always have it at the pool . kiefer : see ? now we know something about each other . that means we can be friends . molly : you know , i bet kristina 's gon na want to see you the second she gets home . kiefer : i hope so . i miss her . do you have any idea when it 's gon na be ? molly : nobody tells me anything . but pretty soon . kiefer : yeah . you know , i ... i just ca n't believe she left us behind to help michael . unless there 's another reason . molly : well , it 's complicated . kiefer : really ? alexis : did kristina get in touch with you , too ? kiefer : uh , i know k 's coming home , that 's why i 'm here . [ scene_break ] sonny : how you doing , dominic ? you doing good ? dominic : good . sonny : good . you know , i could have had you killed the night that you were in the woods and you threatened carly and my sons . dominic : i was really hoping we could not go there again and put that whole thing behind us at some point . sonny : well , you 're gon na get a chance to do that . carly : okay , sonny , do n't tell me you called me over here because you want to fight about where michael 's gon na live . sonny : no , absolutely not . he 's gon na stay with you . it 's just that michael still has rage issues and he , you know , he needs somebody to keep him out of trouble , so does morgan , and i assigned dominic as their guard . [ dominic chuckles ] [ scene_break ] alexis : what did kristina say when she spoke to you ? kiefer : oh , there was -- there was a bad connection . i was just so relieved that she was okay . i was actually wondering , do you have any details on when she 'll be home ? alexis : she 's supposed to be home tomorrow morning . kiefer : uh - oh . she must be in big trouble . i sort of hoped -- alexis : hoped what ? kiefer : well , i wanted to ask you if it 's okay if me and kristina continue seeing each other when she comes home . molly : why would n't it be okay ? alexis : molly , i left groceries in the car . would you mind going to get them for me , please ? [ sighs ] kristina 's gon na have a lot to deal with when she gets back . kiefer : maybe i can help . alexis : why do n't you come in and sit down . kiefer : sure . alexis : oh , i heard that you were applying to harvard . kiefer : yes , ma'am . alexis : congratulations . that 's very impressive . kiefer : thank you . alexis : and you 're in a summer program ? kiefer : mm - hmm . pre - med . did kristina tell you ? alexis : no , i know your dad . kiefer : oh . alexis : he 's a very well - respected malpractice attorney . i 'm surprised that you 're going into med school and not law school . kiefer : well , i can do both , actually . you know , that way if i mess up a patient , i can just defend myself . alexis : mm - hmm . you know , your dad brags about you a lot . he 's very proud of you . and i can understand . you seem to set very high standards for yourself . kiefer : i try . i try . that 's actually what attracted me to kristina . that 's why it was so tough when she just ... alexis : when she what ? kiefer : okay , i 'm not gon na tell you anything that i would n't say to her face , but i think kristina made a huge error in judgment when she ran off with michael . [ scene_break ] kristina : hey . michael : hey . good news . kristina : you decided to come home with us ? michael : i still have a job . that creep and his skinny girlfriend must have been too freaked out by jason to report me . kristina : you do n't have to stay here . my mom confessed to causing claudia 's accident . michael : i know . jason told me . kristina : you realize this means i 'm the one who did it and my mom 's just covering for me ? michael : well , that 's good , i guess . kristina : not when i have to see her face to face . please , michael , do n't make me go back there and deal with my mom and dad alone . [ scene_break ] johnny : hey . you started without me . olivia : my kid is gon na turn me into a wino if he does n't get a major attitude adjustment . johnny : your kid ? olivia : yeah . he is entirely too independent for his own good , and he does n't listen to a damn word i say . johnny : damn kids today . do n't you hate it when they get like that ? hey , come on . your kid is a grown man . stop talking about him like he 's 12 . okay , look , i do n't even know the guy . olivia : mm - hmm . johnny : for all i know , he could be a hot - head or a deadbeat or i do n't even know if he 's somebody i 'd grab a beer with , but what i do know is that maybe your kid gives you grief because you do n't treat him like an adult . olivia : well , i am very sorry , but he 's always gon na be my baby . and for the record , he 's not a deadbeat . he happens to be very dedicated and very good at what he does . it 's just he thinks he 's indestructible , especially on the job . johnny : okay , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to insult the guy . you never even mentioned that he had a job . so tell me , what does dante do for a living ? [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't know if i want to start up with the bodyguard thing again . i do n't think michael 's gon na like it either . he felt like he was being monitored . sonny : well , it 's not like a formal arrangement . it 's not like he 's babysitting . i mean , morgan already likes him . michael will get to like him once he gets to know him . he needs steady influence . jax : i think there are other ways to handle this , sonny . sonny : okay , jax , we 're his parents , his step - parents . unfortunately , that makes us the enemy . so , you know , he 'll be like an older brother , right , who will give advice without it sounding like a lecture . dominic : uh , sonny , that 's not exactly what i signed up for . sonny : you 'll go where you 're needed . look , it 's not like you 're gon na police them . you 're gon na just make sure they do n't get into any trouble , make sure they 're safe . if michael gets in a car and he drives too fast , you 'll be able to rein him in . jax : i think we should listen to carly on this one . i think having a guard around michael 's gon na make him act out even more . i mean , i 've real reservations about a guard being that -- sonny : i do n't care about your reservations , jax . i do n't want michael getting into a situation he ca n't handle again . jax : yeah , and where does it say that having one of your thugs play nurse maid is gon na prevent that , sonny ? huh ? where does it say that ? carly : okay , you know what , we 'll let michael decide . we 're not gon na force anyone on him . you know he 's not gon na like it . sonny : i 'm great . i 'm great with that . carly : okay . okay . claudia : sorry . did n't realize there was a family meeting going on . sonny : no , we just got a lot going on . claudia : well , yeah , everybody must be so relieved that the kids are coming home safe . nothing worse than worrying about your kids ' lives , is there ? you know , carly , i do n't think i ever had a chance to say thank you for pulling me out of the car that night when i was run off the road , you know carly : it was just instinctive . you know , i just did n't think about it , i just did it . claudia : well , you put yourself and the baby at risk , and it 's a blessing that your child 's okay . it must make you feel very secure knowing that your child is safe inside of you . [ scene_break ] sam : all right , now what ? if we go home without michael , sonny and carly are gon na have a complete meltdown , not to mention jax . jason : i ca n't force him to leave . sam : really , not to put a fine point on it , but i think you can , because michael totally adores you . he 'll do anything you say . not to mention , he is a minor . and i do n't think he 's really good at the independent thing for a lot of reasons . and if sonny and carly come down here to cancun to find him , michael , if he runs off , he can get himself into a lot of trouble . jason : i know , but if force him to come back , then he runs away again . that 's why it has to be his decision . [ sam sighs ] sam : well , i can sort of see why he likes it down here . it 's sort of like a close second to hawaii . jason : well , i did call for the jet . sam : okay . jason : it 's gon na take a little while , so if you want , you can go down to the water and take a swim . sam : ooh . i 'm tempted . i am . but , you know , i could just settle for maybe a walk on the beach . jason : yeah , go ahead . sam : okay . but your leg is kind of hurt , so maybe we could just sit on the sand and watch the water or something . jason : okay , sounds great . sam : okay . [ door opens ] kristina : maybe we should come down the elevator and then come back up again ? or talk really loud when we 're walking -- sam : jason and i were just discussing whether or not we should take a walk on the beach while we waited for you guys to come here . kristina : ooh , is that what they call it ? jason : well , you 're here now . we should get going , unless you came to say good - bye . [ scene_break ] olivia : i believe i mentioned that my son was an adrenaline junkie , so naturally he gravitated towards a high - risk profession . johnny : is he in the military ? olivia : oh , he is a firefighter , actually . he does n't seem to care how much he keeps me up at night . johnny : well , hey , if he 's risking his life for something good , if he is loyal to some ideal , there 's something to be said for that , right ? olivia : heh . sounds like you admire my son . johnny : well , fighting fires and rescuing people is a hell of a lot better than killing them over territory and money . olivia : that 's not who you are , johnny . johnny : yeah , it is . but hey , as long as it 's a business , right ? as long as the people getting involved , getting hurt know the consequences , i can deal with that . what i ca n't deal with is the michael 's situation . you know , when some kid ends up getting his life destroyed . [ scene_break ] claudia : i have a real talent for clearing a room . sonny : there 's something we need to discuss . claudia : really ? 'cause i thought we were gon na celebrate . your kids are coming home safe . when are they expected back in port charles ? sonny : that 's what we need to discuss , what happens when kristina comes home . claudia : alexis must be beside herself . i mean , with murder charges and now she 's lost her job . you know if kristina and her sister want to stay here , there 's plenty of room for them . sonny : no , that 's not it . kristina did n't run away to help michael . there 's something else . and as , you know , kristina 's parents , alexis and i have agreed to keep it quiet . claudia : that does n't sound good . sonny : but you have a right to know . alexis did n't run you off the road . she was protecting our daughter . kristina was driving without a license that night , and she caused the accident . claudia : we lost our baby because of kristina ? [ scene_break ] kiefer : ever since michael came out of his coma , k , kristina has been really worried about him . michael started to lean on her , which is totally understandable . you know , he 's been through a lot . but kristina also took on a lot of responsibility for his social rehab . she had me playing tennis with him more than once , which , honestly , was a complete disaster . his temper is off the charts . he goes into these rages , and it 's like he leaves the freakin ' planet . but for kristina sake , i try to like michael and have compassion for everything that he 's been through . the problem is , michael -- alexis : he 's been through a lot . he has a lot of issues . and -- kiefer : yeah . alexis : maybe it 's just more than kristina 's able to handle . kiefer : he 's dragging her down . i mean , look , i know this is maybe a little harsh , but the kristina i know would never run away . she is smart . and she 's also really sweet . maybe she 's a little naive , and , you know , i think she can be talked into anything . but , look , i know this is none of my business , but i really hope that you do n't punish her too hard for what she did . alexis : kristina needs to come to terms with what she did . kiefer : yeah . alexis : and then she needs to try to get her life back on track . and i will do everything possible to make sure that happens . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , when sonny called us over there , i thought for sure he was going to fight us about michael living here . but if all he wants is to assign dominic to bodyguard the boys , i 'm okay with that . you 're not . jax : i just -- i think we should give serious consideration to michael 's feelings . i mean , he barely knows dominic . carly : well , true , but morgan adores him . you 're the one i ca n't figure out . you 're all over the place about dominic . jax : this is n't about me . do n't make this about me . carly : oh , nice try , okay , 'cause your attitude affects us . especially me . when dominic showed up , you did n't want him in this house . then he started bonding with morgan over baseball , and you 're okay with that . but now sonny wants to hire him to be the boys ' bodyguard , and you do n't want anything to do with that . i 'm sorry ; can you help me out here ? jax : i 'm between a rock and a hard place , okay . i have to keep you worry free until the baby 's born , and i have to keep michael and morgan safe from sonny 's crazy lifestyle . so if dominic is the compromise , then , you know , i 'm willing to take that . like i said , i have reservations about it . carly : really ? jax : yeah . why ? carly : 'cause i know you pretty well and it sure feels like something else , something about dominic that i just ca n't put my finger on , jax . what 's going on that you 're not telling me about ? [ scene_break ] alexis : there she is . kiefer : thank you . alexis : thank you , babe . molly : you 're welcome . kiefer : mmm . you really made this lemonade ? molly : mm - hmm . we bought lemons at the farmer 's market , and then viola showed me how . kiefer : well , your talents are endless . alexis : a proud mama . kiefer : i can see why . alexis : my goal has always been for my girls to have a lemonading normal life . kiefer : well , why could n't they ? molly : well , my mom 's a cassadine and we 're half cassadine . and cassadines do n't really do normal . [ kiefer chuckles ] alexis : my family had certain traditions that precluded what other people take for granted . thanks a lot . kristina 's gon na have a lot to deal with when she gets home . she 's gon na need a lot of very supportive , trusting people around her . am i gon na be able to count on you to help her ? kiefer : well , that 's what i 'm here for . alexis : you or any other positive people around her could n't hurt . in fact , the more time you spend with her the better . [ scene_break ] jason : when we get back , we ca n't tell anyone we saw jerry or that i was shot . kristina : why not ? michael : because my mom . she 's not supposed to be upset while she 's pregnant . so , i mean , if she found out that jason got shot , especially by jerry , she 'd flip out . kristina : so we just wo n't tell carly . jason : no , we just wo n't tell anybody . michael : so you 're just gon na let it go ? that jerry shot you ? jason : just until the baby 's born . do n't you think your mom 's under enough stress ? michael : yeah . please , krissy . look , i 've been so unfair to my mom . i 'd like to do one thing right for her . kristina : fine . i wo n't say anything . it will give my mom one less thing to meltdown about . jason : thank you . kristina : that was weird . i think that 's the first time you 've thanked me for anything . i told you we walked in on something . i think they got back together . michael : we 're going home to face the music , and all you can think about is their love life ? that is such a girl thing to do . kristina : i 'm just saying . when two people think it 's over , it does n't have to be . [ scene_break ] jax : i do n't know how i feel about dominic . i mean , the way you met him is a problem . but you vouched for him and morgan seems to like him . carly : but ? jax : he works for sonny . he 's a thug . he carries a gun . he gets shot at . and i do n't think that michael will appreciate having a watchdog on his heels . carly : they 're gon na have to talk to michael about it bec -- oh . jax : you okay ? carly : yeah . i just - t -- wow . jax : what was it ? carly : our little girl just kicked me really hard . heh heh . jax : a kick . carly : i guess she does n't like it when we disagree . jax : we do n't disagree . we never disagree . we do n't ever fight , either . carly : oh , yeah . wow . was it me or was it weird the way claudia went on about the baby ? i mean , i feel bad for her , but that just really creeped me out .

[ pager beeps ] matt : this thing never stops going . elizabeth : what is it ? matt : they 're starting siobhan 's autopsy . [ scene_break ] lucky : [ sighs ] look , dante , i really do n't want to do this right now . this is my day with aiden , and i ... dante : you know what ? i 'm not gon na go . we got ta figure this out . this is , uh -- lucky : figure what out ? dante : i think this is getting a little out of control . you had a lot of drugs in your system -- lucky : yeah , i had a lot of drugs in my system . so what ? dante : we 're trying to help you . lucky : what do you care if i 'm using ? lulu : lucky . is it true ? oh , my god , you 're using . and you knew about it .

[ scene_break ] kristina : ok , this is creepy . michael : thanks for coming over so quickly . i did n't want to get into it over the phone . kristina : i 'm not talking to you as long as you 're behind that desk . michael : why not ? kristina : you 're weirding me out . seriously , get up . michael : ok . look , uh , we need to rally the troops around dad . whatever 's left of them anyways . kristina : and why is everyone running for the hills away from dad ? oh , yeah , he just killed jax . michael : there 's no proof , kristina . they have n't even found a body . kristina : dad never leaves bodies lying around to be found . that 's why he 's never gone to prison . but you know what they say . there 's a first time for everything . luck runs out . getting the feel for the throne just in case ? michael : kristina , can we stop with the sarcasm ? i 'm trying to have a serious conversation with my sister . kristina : sorry . michael : look , everybody is so quick to blame dad , as if jax was some kind of a saint . kristina : you used past tense . so you do believe that dad killed jax . michael : ok , look , the point is everybody is turning against our father . he needs us now more than ever . kristina : michael ... i almost feel sorry for you . [ scene_break ] robin : i have a cerebral trauma in 852 that needs you immediately . i 'll handle jason 's follow - up care . patrick : well , robin , i took a piece of dashboard out of jason 's brain that had been there for 14 years . it was a precise and delicate procedure . robin : well , what do you want , a gold star ? patrick : i want to check on my patient . you 'd want to do the same thing . robin : the heavy lifting is already done , ok ? something else needs your attention . wait ! hey , this is not up for debate . patrick : excuse me , why are you acting like this ? robin : because sometimes my job comes with demands and problems that you do n't understand , and quite frankly , i do n't have the time to explain to you . ok ? i already made that mistake when i let you talk me into giving jason a biopsy . patrick : you made the decision based as a doctor . robin : based on my emotions . we already copped the situation . patrick : yeah , and you were much nicer the first time . robin : well , i should have listened to matt , ok ? he was right . there was no tumor . patrick : what does that have to do with what 's happening right now ? robin : just stop questioning the way i make decisions . ok ? patrick : yes , ma'am . robin : i -- i need to go after patrick . there is actually a surgery that needs him . milo : do n't worry . i got things here under control . robin : ok . well , i 'll be back as soon as i can . milo : whoa . maxie : all right , i got a lot of strong - arm cracks going on up in here , but i 'm now refraining . milo : maxie , you really ca n't go in there . maxie : why ? i 'm practically jason 's family . robin : but you 're not , and he 's not even awake right now . maxie : it does n't matter . i found sam 's engagement ring , i went and got it professionally cleaned , and i was kind of hoping i could just slip it under his pillow -- robin : maxie , i said no . maxie : is your job making you crabby much ? pa : dr. rodriguez , call pediatrics . dr. lucia rodriguez , call pediatrics . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you know , there 's a little snag in the meds situation . matt : ok . i 'm listening . elizabeth : you put back more hydrocodone than i took out . matt : no , i counted . there were two bottles that were missing . elizabeth : well , i only took out one , the one i had you analyze . matt : so what are we saying here , that somebody on the staff is helping themselves ? elizabeth : well , either that or it was a random steal or somebody from the drug ring or -- matt : or maybe the cop that 's working the case -- elizabeth : no ! no . matt : no on faith or on wishful thinking ? elizabeth : lucky did not take those pills , and i did not take them for him . matt : your faith in him is really something to behold . elizabeth : oh . you think i 'm being naive . matt : no , i think you 're being loyal to a fault , which is an amazing quality in a person . it 's a shame you guys could n't make it . though i am willing to bet that somehow you are still holding out hope . elizabeth : come on , he just lost his wife . matt : his child , and his father , and he 's gon na try to hold tight anyone who 's close to him . elizabeth : well , it ca n't be me . not now . matt : nor should it ever be . [ scene_break ] dante : this is exactly why i came to lucky . i wanted him to allow me to tell you what happened . lulu : why would you need his permission to tell me the truth ? lucky : dante was just being respectful of my request to handle this case my own way . lulu : so you had him cover for you . dante : yes , it was necessary . lulu : that night at the hospital , i was right , you were high . lucky : yes , technically -- lulu : yeah ? yeah . and you looked me in the eye and you said it was an act , that you were playing a part for the case . lucky : yeah , because it 's undercover work . lulu : you were high ! i knew that when i was looking at you , and had the nerve to make me feel guilty for questioning you , like i was completely out of line for even thinking that you might be using again . dante : he did n't fall off the wagon , ok ? he was pushed . lulu : oh , really ? someone held him down and forced him to take drugs . dante : yes , that is exactly what happened . [ lulu laughs ] lucky : this look on your face right now , this is exactly why i asked dante to keep quiet . lulu : i had a right to know . dante : look , if you found out , it would have put you in danger , it would have put lucky in even more danger . he had to ride this out . he had to play the game . lucky : i knew no one was gon na believe me that i did n't sample the product myself . dante : these guys were set out to ruin lucky 's credibility . whatever evidence he gathered was then gon na be irrelevant 'cause it was gon na be suspect . lulu : yeah , that or swallowed . lucky : hey ! i did n't use ! ok ? lulu : do you have proof of this ? dante : elizabeth told me . lulu : elizabeth knew ? lucky : yeah . she 's the one who found me . lulu : and she did n't tell me either . lucky : she was helping me with the case . lulu : oh , my god ! ok , i do n't know if you buy this , but i 'm not buying this . i 'm sorry . i 've been down this road with him before , and just like any other addict when he 's using , he lies . lucky : let me ask you a question , lulu . why is it ... that you have no problem giving dad the benefit of the doubt ? even after he killed my kid while driving drunk . but for some reason , you ca n't do the same for me , can you ? [ scene_break ] alexis : mm - mmm . no , i 'm not gon na do that . i spent most of kristina 's life trying to keep sonny out of it , and it literally blew up in our faces . carly : kristina could have been killed in that car bomb sonny set . alexis : kristina was using johnny to try to get attention from her father . that 's the dynamic that i created by keeping them apart . it was kristina 's desperation slamming against sonny 's insane need for vengeance . carly : what are you saying ? alexis : i 'm saying that kristina is old enough to make her own decisions , and if she wants a relationship with her father , then she gets to have that . carly : alexis , you ca n't possibly mean that . alexis : i do mean that . that is my position . what i 'm most curious about , though , is yours . this sudden turnabout -- when did you stop defending sonny ? carly : i told you . since he went too far . alexis : oh , really ? and what measures as too far ? i mean , is too far when it does n't benefit you ? because it was n't too far when you let him ruin jax 's name and reputation . carly : i had no idea what sonny was gon na do . i had no idea . alexis : what did you think he was going to do ? it t do n't occur to you to go to the worst - case scenario ? because that is what always happens with sonny , and that is in fact what happened with jax . carly : by the time jax was set up , it was too late . there was nothing i could do to stop it . alexis : maybe you should n't have started it in the first place , because the one thing that you did know is that sonny never plays fair . and it is a little late in the game for you to be getting all indignant about some line that you arbitrarily choose that he ca n't cross , because you 're afraid that your husband is dead . [ scene_break ] kristina : you should listen to me . i 'm the family expert at justifying all the horrible things that dad does , and trust me , it is a losing proposition . michael : i 'm not trying to justify anything -- kristina : dad will never change . he 's never going to magically turn into a normal father or a normal person . michael : i thought you were done being mad at dad . kristina : i am . do n't get me wrong . he can be fun , and when you 're with him , he makes you feel like the most important person in his world . michael : yeah . that 's because it 's true . kristina : partly true . dad only loves when it 's convenient for him . michael : you make it sound like dad 's love has an on and off switch . kristina : no , he just slides it to the side . michael : dad carries a lot on his shoulders , ok ? kristina : right . dad walks through that door and turns into sonny corinthos , the big , bad mobster who kills people and puts everyone , kids included , in danger . i get that . my mom gets that . and i do n't know about your mom , but brenda finally got that , too . michael : that was jax . he poisoned brenda 's mind . he worked her into seeing dad the way that he does . kristina : i 'm more interested in where you 're coming from . and do you really believe that dad is this misunderstood abuse victim who had no other choice but to embrace a life of crime ? michael : kristina , you know what it 's like to be slapped around . kristina : thanks for the reminder . michael : just imagine if it was your father , and your mom was being abused , too . and nobody helped . no one did anything because he was a cop . dad stood up for himself the only way he knew how . kristina : are you trying to prove to him you can be there for him when everyone else is gone and jason 's out of commission ? michael : would it be so terrible if i did ? kristina : the terrible part is what comes later . and once you get swallowed up in dad 's life , then you can never get out . michael : where are you coming from , kristina ? do you want to see dad destroyed ? you want me to spit on him and turn my back ? kristina : well , you certainly have the right to . you were shot in the head because of dad . michael : i never blamed dad for that . kristina : just like i was almost blown up in a car bomb . it 's the same thing . what are you asking me to do , exactly , pick up a gun and go to war for dad ? michael : no , no , i 'm not asking you to do that . kristina : love him into being a sane person who does n't automatically go into kill mode when something bad happens that he does n't like ? michael : it would n't hurt for you to try . kristina : it does n't work , michael . your mom tried . brenda tried . and they both had to run for their lives . the two people who accept dad as he is more than anyone else , they still could n't stay . michael : what 's your point ? kristina : i want you to open your eyes , live your own life , and stop trying to be all things to dad , before you get hurt even worse than you already were . [ scene_break ] lucky : i 'm a little insulted that you do n't believe me , but i 'm gon na tell you the truth anyway . i did not make a choice to use . i was held down by thugs while the dealer injected me with some kind of combo platter . dante : it 's true . ok ? he was paranoid . he was freaking out . he was convinced i was gon na turn him in . i could n't persuade him otherwise and that 's when he hit me . he would n't have done that otherwise . lulu : oh , so that was the cut on your head . you implied that that was when sonny hit you . that 's another lie . dante : not really . lulu : do you -- that 's a lie of omission for my brother . do you understand how this works ? addicts are master manipulators . before you know it , you 're jumping through hoops and lying to the one person that you should be honest with . lucky : you should n't be so quick to judge . and what do you really know about addiction and co - dependency ? i mean , give me a break . you were just running around the globe looking for dad , someone who ca n't even admit that he has a problem . lulu : do n't try to deflect this and throw dad in my face . this is about you on drugs , and you 're getting my boyfriend to lie to me about it . lucky : dante was trying to keep my career and my life from being trashed by drug dealers , who do n't give a crap how many years it took me to get clean . but i did . [ lulu sighs ] lucky : ok ? even through the death of my son and finding out that my father was responsible . and you know what ? i could use a little bit of that right now to help with dealing with siobhan 's death . how 's that for your precious truth ? lulu : well , we know what that thinking leads to . [ scene_break ] matt : what i just said , i did n't really mean it . well , ok , no , i did mean it . i just -- i -- it came out a little bit more judgmental than i intended and i -- elizabeth : it 's all right . you 're not the only one in this family who thinks lucky and i are the poster couple for unhealthy co - dependent relationships , and you know what ? you 're all not wrong . matt : well , that 's brutally honest . elizabeth : it just got to the point where it was ridiculous . even lucky and i could n't deny it , and that 's why we 're not together anymore , among other things . matt : well , lucky could do a lot worse than have you at his back as a friend . elizabeth : and you have done your fair share of watching my back . matt : yeah , well , i knew he was the underdog in this situation . i understood that . elizabeth : because you feel the same or -- matt : 'cause in my family , being treated like an adult , or as an equal , for that matter , is pretty much impossible to come by . elizabeth : well , you have my respect , and i could do a lot worse having you as a friend , which i 'm starting to realize you actually are . patrick : hey ! if you insist on acting like a child , i suggest you take your whining and check into another hospital . matt : do you expect me to just know what you 're mad about ? patrick : robin 's acting all shifty , like she 's trying to cover her bases . which means you 're in her ear giving her crap about being objective . matt : ok . i know you might find this hard to believe , but i have better things to think about than you all day long . patrick : look at that . another text to go save a life . which reminds me , did you get the autopsy report explaining what went wrong in siobhan 's surgery ? you should probably check that . matt : nice . nice . elizabeth : i grew up with the perfect sister . always compared , always came up short . it 's exhausting , i know . matt : yeah , well , hopefully things like that have changed . [ scene_break ] maxie : is that power going to robin 's head or what ? she 's acting like the medical version of kate . matt : hi . how are you ? ok , the robin thing -- just let that go . she 's under a lot of pressure right now . in fact , you know what ? you should forget it entirely . why do n't we go get a bite . there 's something i really want to tell you -- maxie : no . she did n't even blink an eye when i told her i found sam 's engagement ring . and she flat out denied letting me go give it to jason myself . matt : ok . you are not -- maxie : what ? robin : has anyone seen patrick ? elizabeth : he just got paged . you missed him . robin : damn it . matt : patrick 's nose was all out of joint 'cause he thinks i 've been ragging on you for playing favorites . so , since we know that sure as hell ai n't true , i 'm just wondering what 's really going on . [ scene_break ] milo : [ sighs ] look , jason 's in no condition to be the voice of reason . sorry , max , you 're gon na have to step up and calm the boss down yourself . then get bernie to do it . all i know is we ca n't afford any screw - ups on our watch . [ scene_break ] carly : why are n't you reacting more to the fact that sonny is out of control ? you were right , alexis , like you love to be . you always said that sonny was a menace , and now your good friend jax could be his latest victim . alexis : because of you . you 're the one who riled up sonny . you did . you riled him up and then you turned him loose on jax . carly : sonny did what he wanted to do on his own , and to put it on me just gives sonny another way out . alexis : you never treated jax with the respect that he deserved as your husband . a man who provided you with all that love and all that protection that this bottomless pit of yours needed . he actually believed you were worth something , carly . he even went as far as to offer to adopt morgan to give you that safety net that you so loudly proclaimed you won against sonny . and then you did n't even follow through with it . carly : that 's because jax backed out of the adoption . alexis : are you not gon na take responsibility for anything ? is there nothing that you can take responsibility for ? carly : i 'm wrong , ok ? i know i 'm wrong ! that 's why i 'm standing here right now ! so you know what ? you forget how you feel about me . what would jax want ? alexis : what jax wanted was to protect your daughter . that 's what he wanted . that 's why he 's missing . that 's why he 's presumed dead . because he had the balls to step up and you never did . and now you come over here and you cry and you go , `` i 've seen the light , `` and you try to enlist me in your -- your little plan to assuage your guilt ? forget it ! i wo n't do it ! i wo n't ever do it , because you are guilty ! live with it ! [ scene_break ] lulu : look , lucky . i have n't had the chance to tell you that i am very sorry about siobhan . lucky : thanks . somehow i made my way to the church where elizabeth and i first got married . she found me there . she went back and she got the right drugs to counteract whatever i had been given , and she got me through hell . and by the time i came to and really understood what was happening and made my way to the hospital siobhan was already gone . lulu : i 'm sorry . i 'm very sorry . but do n't you think that maybe you owe it to her to walk away from this case ? according to you , drugs were forced into your system , so that memes that the trigger 's already been pulled . i do n't think you should be involved in a case that basically guarantees that you 're gon na keep using . you 're gon na have to pull some strings . dante : who ? me ? to what ? lulu : to get him off the case . dante : lulu , it 's not in my job description . how am i gon na do that ? lulu : are you kidding me ? are serious right now ? you 're gon na use that excuse ? dante : it 's not an excuse . lulu : that you can do nothing ? what happened to the guy who used to make the tough moral choices , even when it was unpopular ? you used to listen to your heart and follow it into doing what was right . but that 's obviously changed since you found out that sonny is your father . dante : whoa ! what the hell -- where is this coming from ? lulu : this is coming from the fact that you are obviously compromising your principles . and it could have killed my brother just like it 's killing what 's between us . dante : so that 's what you really think of me ? lulu : i think it 's what 's happened to you and how you 've handled things since -- lucky : why do n't you just quit gon na say something you 'll regret . dante : oh , i think that ship has sailed . lulu : ever since you found out that you 're sonny 's kid , the lines have been blurred . boundaries that you said you would never cross , you jump over them without a second thought . just like right now . you 're keeping the truth about my brother from me . dante : what are you talking about ? i was trying to protect your brother . i do n't like keeping anything from you . look , i 'm coming clean right now . does that not count for anything ? lulu : really ? so while you were trying to protect my brother , and you were struggling over a decision that should have been obvious , he 's wandering around town high out of his mind . lucky : this is pointless . she 's not gon na get it . never . i 'm out of here . you can watch aiden for me . lulu : oh , you got an itch that needs scratching ? lucky : yeah , maybe i do . lulu : and you 're just gon na walk out on your own son . lucky : well , it 's better he 's with you than a druggie , right ? lulu : your words , not mine . lucky : i hate to disappoint you . lulu : you already have . lucky : go to hell . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , you got a pretty short memory . i tried compromising with jax every step of the way , but jax would n't hear of it . no , he paid the mediator to lie and paint me as unfit . you walked away from the case because you did n't want to play dirty . alexis : and i regret that . i do . that was a mistake . i wanted you two to act like adults , and i wanted your daughter not to suffer . carly : mistakes were made on both sides , ok ? but , no , you want to blame me for every horrible thing that 's happened to jax . alexis : because it 's your fault . what will it take for you to own that one single irrefutable fact ? you just want to condemn sonny . you sound just like him . [ scene_break ] kristina : look , i 'm just trying to avoid taking sides . michael : really ? kristina : i want to focus on my own life for a change . ca n't you do the same , like with your job at elq ? michael : it 's not a job . it 's a placeholder and an opportunity for abby . that 's it . kristina : so your idea of a real job is running illegal shipments and working your way up to killing people ? i do n't believe that 's your real goal in life . i think you 're just trying to prove that you can survive in dad 's world for some deep psychological reason . michael : if you 're gearing up to try and talk me out of helping dad , you can save your breath . kristina : you know what ? i 'm not even going to try . in fact , i give you my blessing . go immerse yourself in the mob until you see it for the literal dead end that it is . and then you can walk away once and for all . michael : this is n't about me or where i 'm gon na end up working . there are people out there that want to take our father down , to watch him fail and leave him weak and helpless . kristina : like you were in prison ? [ scene_break ] robin : once again patrick is trying to make something about him that is n't . i did n't say or even imply that you were complaining . i may have been short , but patrick , of course , jumped to his own conclusion . maxie : short ? try how rude are you ? robin : really ? i have a job to do here , people , ok , beyond managing everyone 's fragile egos i actually have a hospital to run . and if that is n't difficult enough , now i have to deal with the security concerns that come with having jason as a patient . excuse me . i have to get patrick before he goes into surgery . matt : ok , so what do you say we get away from all these grumpy people , and i can tell you about something that is -- maxie : i just had a revelation . when jason wakes up , he needs to ask spinelli to be his best man . maybe that 'll snap him out of this whole jackal pi thing . matt : what is it gon na take to get you to snap out of this whole , you know , compulsive ... maxie : what ? matt : obsessive -- nothing , never mind . you have your pet projects , i have mine . maxie : so you 're busy , then . so it works out . you do your doctor thing and we 'll meet up later . matt : ok . really ? elizabeth : you know , the research on this is fascinating . you know someone on the team ? matt : i might know somebody . elizabeth : they 've been trying to correct that for decades . matt : yes , since ' 76 . lucky : elizabeth , hey . do you know where i can get the results of siobhan 's autopsy ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i never wanted jax to marry you . i did n't . because i did n't think that you were worthy of him . but he loved you . he knew all of your faults , but he did n't let them get in the way . he put you first . that 's the least you could have done for him , but you did n't do it . carly : what makes you think you know much about me and jax ? alexis : i do know about you and sonny . he 's your drug of choice . in bed , in the back of a limo , while your husband was at home believing in you . no matter how many egregious things sonny did , you always defended him . even against your own husband , you always defended sonny . carly : and you 've always loved jax . i always thought so , you know . alexis : i do love him . i love him . and a marriage of convenience to me would have been a lot better than a love match with you , because at least he would n't be missing ... in a river , surrounded by pieces of his broken plane . carly : so you never got over your pretend marriage to jax , and you 've probably never really gotten over sonny . it must be awkward . alexis : you can stand there and smirk all you want . but you are responsible for whatever hell jax is in . and you can blame sonny . you can punish people for what you actually did , and nothing is ever gon na change that .

[ scene_break ] dante : you know , you could have saved a little more anger for me and not thrown quite so much in lucky 's direction . lulu : well , actually , what pisses me off the most is the fact that you think i 'm too fragile to handle my brother 's addiction . dante : i do n't think you 're fragile , lulu . i 'm worried about lucky compromising himself and his case . lulu : so you believe his story ? dante : i do . lulu : oh , my god . ok . dante : you clearly do n't . lulu : the lies come very easily when he 's using . he lies when he does n't even have to . dante : this is happening all over again . lulu : what is happening ? dante : what is happening ? what do you mean , what is happening ? everything we talked about in greece , how you realized that your family 's problems were not yours to solve . you were supposed to be focusing on us , on our life together . lulu : big stuff is happening . dante : yeah , you 're right , baby , big stuff is happening , right here , between us . i got an offer on the table . i want you to move in with me . [ scene_break ] carly : obviously coming here was a bad idea . alexis : it was if you wanted some sort of alliance with me . you 'll have to find another way to get back at sonny . carly : fine . alexis : before you go , i have something for you . carly : what is it ? alexis : these are divorce papers . jax never got to make a last wish , so i 'd like to make one for him . and even if he 's never found , at least i know that he 'll be free of you . [ scene_break ] michael : you have no idea what happened to me in prison . how could you ? you do n't know anything about the real world . you 're just a little girl playing dress up . kristina : that 's not fair and it 's not true . michael : then wake up , kristina . you think i 'm in a fantasy world for the way i see dad ? look at you , daydreaming about hooking up with some guy who does n't even like you . kristina : ethan cares about me . michael : no , you want him to care about you , but he only puts up with you because he feels sorry for you . kristina : now you 're just being awful because i wo n't stick up for dad like you want me to . michael : forget i asked for your help . forget i thought you were mature enough to separate fact from fantasy . i 'll make sure dad 's ok on my own . kristina : michael ! michael ! [ groans ] [ scene_break ] dante : i should n't have brought up the moving in together stuff . do n't feel like you have to answer right now . lulu : no , you know what ? honestly , i 'm not gon na feel better tomorrow . i 'm not gon na feel better the next day . i 'm not gon na feel really comfortable living with someone who can lie to me and tries to make me feel guilty about it . dante : i 'm not trying to make you feel guilty . i 'm just looking for -- i do n't know , a little bit of understanding , maybe . lulu : you want understanding ? i think i was really understanding the last time that you lied to me , about brenda and your secret past with her . and what was your excuse that time ? to protect her . dante : ok . obviously this is n't gon na get settled right now , so ... why do n't we just go get a bite to eat or something ? lulu : oh , no . well , except i ca n't because i 'm stuck here taking care of lucky 's kid . who knows how long it 's gon na take for him to score ? dante : ok . well , then why do n't you stay here and i 'll go get us something -- lulu : ohh ! you 're not getting it . you 're not getting it . go . go eat . go do whatever . just go protect your fellow officers , your new family . do me a favor , do n't be at the loft when i go there to get my stuff .

[ telephone ringing ] elizabeth : nurse webber . was there anything unusual ? ok . thank you . that was the autopsy . lucky : what did it say ? elizabeth : uh , siobhan did not die of natural causes .

sam : the amount that jerry 's asked for , the way the numbers are sequenced , it 's significant , if you know the history . jax : the numbers represent a run of cards -- the dead man 's hand . you know , the cards that wild bill -- mcbain : wild bill hickok was holding when he was shot dead . jax : yeah , that 's right . two 8s , two aces , and a jack of diamonds . mcbain : okay . so he contaminates the water supply , the entire town gets sick . he can ransom the antidote for any amount of money . why base it on the dead man 's hand ? jax : i do n't know . i mean , the cards -- they did play a big part in our family history , mine and jerry 's . jerry : mm - hmm . [ door opens ] jerry : oh , mr. manning . such a pleasure again . what brings you to my dungeon ? todd : you and i have some business to discuss , mr. craig . can i call you `` jerry `` ? anna : well , how do you know that ethan is your son ? did holly tell you that ? luke : that 's where i got the idea from . anna : what idea ? luke : helena had dodge and me tied up . she was gon na blow a hole in him and make me watch him die . holly showed up , and she convinced helena that ethan might be robert 's son . so helena decided to run her own tests . she took hair samples from both of us ... and she disappeared . anna : so , how do you know holly was n't telling helena the truth and that she 's lying to you ? luke : because she told me , and i believe her . look , she knew that once helena ran the dna test , she would know that dodge is my kid and that he was as good as dead unless we got him out of the country . and so ... holly warned me that her whole scheme was just to buy us time . anna : so ... ethan is your son . luke : always was , always will be . anna : well , why the hell did you lie to robert ? why would you do that to him ? luke : you know why . to save his life . jason : spinelli , what 'd you find on , uh , dr. keenan ? spinelli : my investigative efforts were ... stone cold , you look hot . uh , by which i mean to say , you look -- you look flushed and feverish , as if you 're running a temperature , which is alarming given the contaminant in the water supply . jason : i need you to focus and tell me what you found out about dr. keenan . spinelli : well , my investigative efforts in the last frontier , or as its license plates espouse , `` north to the future . `` [ chuckles ] jason : spinelli ! spinelli : they were successful . i have information on dr. keenan . elizabeth : ewen ... please , just sit down . you must be exhausted . ewen : i 'm fine . elizabeth : no , you 're not . you 've been up all night , pacing , driving yourself crazy . you ca n't do this to yourself . ewen : you say that like you care . elizabeth : i do care . why are we still here ? i - i thought you just stopped to regroup . ewen : i did n't come to rest . [ breathes deeply ] i came here for this . jason : what about keenan ? spinelli : well , shortly after medical school , dr. keenan began his psychiatric practice at the good samaritan hospital in anchorage , alaska . jason : were there any investigations , lawsuits , ethic violations , anything that we can use ? spinelli : no indication of any wrongdoing . but i did discover that he had a very special patient . jason : who ? spinelli : john jacks , father of jerry and jasper . it turns out that dr. keenan was treating him for depression , but the family then elected to seek alternative treatment and removed the elder jacks to the town of brisbee , arizona . jason : i do n't really care about john jacks . i care about dr. keenan . spinelli : but dr. keenan was eventually summoned to arizona to continue his treatment . jason : dr. keenan followed john jacks to arizona . spinelli : hence my visit to the quaint town of brisbee . jason : wait . you 're in arizona right now ? spinelli : yeah , and in the very hospital that john jacks died . jason : was keenan with john jacks when he died ? spinelli : that is yet to be determined . jason : it 's very important . i need you to find out . i need to know . spinelli : with greatest respect , you are suspicious of dr. keenan , which may make this connection seem more ominous than it actually is . but conversely , elizabeth thinks that he 's innocent , so this may all seem benign to her . jason : not anymore . keenan kidnapped elizabeth . [ drawer shuts ] elizabeth : how did you know that was here ? ewen : this is my place . when i moved to port charles , i felt homesick , so i bought it . it shares land with merrifield barns . they raise cattle and horses . and just hearing the sounds of a farm makes me feel closer to home . elizabeth : you never told me you were raised on the farm . can you tell me about that ? ewen : it was beautiful . i wish you could have seen it . i mean , the animals , the land ... the open sky . it was the best , you know ? right up until we lost it . my father lost our home , along with everything else . elizabeth : how did he lose it ? what happened ? ewen : he took everything from us and left us with nothing ! elizabeth : who ? ewen : [ breathes deeply ] john jacks . jerry : you know , i think you and i have no further business , except to thank you for access to the cable franchise . it worked out beautifully . todd : for you . because you 're a sadist . the rest of us are not having such a great day . jerry : ah . todd : i never would have taken your money if i 'd known what you were gon na do . jerry : well , if i had n't gone on the air to announce it , nobody would have known their days were numbered . todd : yeah , because you poisoned them . jerry : consider it a public service . todd : people call me a sociopath . jerry : you know , the only thing that went awry is that i could n't complete my broadcast . todd : what would you have said if you had n't ran into technical difficulties ? jerry : to be more accurate , i ran into jason morgan 's fist . todd : shame he did n't kill you . jerry : [ chuckles ] such hostility does n't bode well for a successful negotiation . todd : fine . let 's negotiate . what do you want in exchange for the antidote ? jerry : i 'll tell you what i want . $ 88,111,000 . if you 're having trouble picturing it , that 's two 8s , three 1s , three zeros . todd : why such a crazy number ? jerry : let 's say it 's one of great significance to my family . jax : my father acquired the dead man 's hand years ago . mcbain : the actual cards ? jax : yes , the very ones . he believed that they brought him luck . he never got sick , managed to acquire a great amount of wealth , and ... raised a loving family . sam : `` loving `` except for jerry . jax : jerry was n't always like this . and when we were growing up , the jackses were a tight - knit bunch . mcbain : your dad thought it was because of some cards . jax : yes . he credited those cards for every good thing that ever happened to him . elizabeth : jax 's father took your home from you ? ewen : he did n't just take our home . he destroyed my father 's life ! my father died a broken man while john jacks and his family prospered , all because of that dead man 's hand . jax : when the cards were stolen from my father , he spared no expense trying to find them . but , uh , as the search ... grew hopeless , he got weaker and weaker , and ... eventually fell into a deep depression . he begged me to find the cards and bring them back . mcbain : okay . but how are they connected to your brother , and can it lead us to where he 's hiding the counteragent ? mcbain : why is he tying the ransom amount to the dead man 's hand ? excuse me , lieutenant . mayor lomax wants to speak to you on the phone . mcbain : tell the mayor i will call her when i have something to report . jax : whoever put you in charge did n't do you any favors , did they ? mcbain : i assume no one else wanted the job . sam : are you -- are you guys feeling a little weird ? mcbain : are you okay ? sam : i 'm just a little warm . mcbain : yeah ? sam : jax , go ahead -- tell -- tell john about jerry and the cards . mcbain : you sure ? sam : yeah , yes . mcbain : okay . can you start with how your father got them ? ewen : my father owned the actual cards that were in wild bill hickok 's hands when he was killed -- the 8 of clubs , the 8 of spades , the ace of clubs , the ace of spades , and the jack of diamonds . elizabeth : they must have been worth a lot . ewen : a lot . they were . people would offer him unbelievable amounts , and he -- he would never sell . he said they were his insurance . and if the farm fell on hard times , then he would sell , to keep us afloat and to keep it in the family name . elizabeth : so what happened ? ewen : john jacks happened ! one day , he just shows up , and he -- he gains my father 's trust , and then he takes the cards right out from under him ! jax : my father was always vague about the details , but i was under the impression that he acquired the dead man 's hand in a card game . mcbain : okay . how does your brother fit in with all this ? jax : he did n't . mcbain : okay , if he 's not connected to the dead man 's hand , why mention it in the ransom demand ? jax : i do n't know . but before any of us get any sicker , i 'm gon na find out . todd : let me get this straight . you want almost $ 100 million . why not just ask for the whole thing ? jerry : you know , i did n't want to be unreasonable . todd : oh , yeah . jerry : what about you ? you 're a wealthy man . todd : well , not that wealthy . jerry : what , no lives that you want to save ? todd : my kids are out of town , thankfully . the one that lives here , she 's on her way to vegas . jerry : there 's no one else you care about ? todd : there might be someone . i 'm not sure . but even then , that still only makes two , including myself . jerry : and what about your friends in the 1 % ? todd : `` friends `` ? jerry : ca n't you convince them to cooperate ? todd : eh , i do n't -- i do n't have a lot of friends . jerry : well , you 'd be surprised how many people will want your friendship when they discover that you can acquire the cure . todd : i just want them to love me for who i really am . jerry : well , perhaps you can convince the local law enforcement to sign in on the crusade . todd : [ coughing ] jerry : they seem to think that -- are you all right ? they seem to think that if i sit still long enough that i 'll give them the counteragent , or they 'll find it . they wo n't . by the way , how -- how are you feeling ? todd : i 'm fine . just fine . jerry : then you 'd better make up your mind very quick . pay the cash or bargain with god . if i were you , i 'd put my faith in the money and raise lots of cash while you still can . ewen : even after john jacks stole the cards , my father thought we 'd be all right . the farm was -- it was doing good enough . but then a -- a viral pneumonia epidemic broke out and wiped out our entire livestock . there was nothing we could do . we could n't -- we could n't start over . we -- we lost everything . we lost our insurance , the lot . elizabeth : i - i 'm so sorry . ewen : my father was a strong , proud man , and the bank -- the bank foreclosed on the farm so he could pay his debts . do you know what that does to a man like that ... to see his children as their dreams are crushed ? it killed his spirit , elizabeth . he died a broke and broken man . i saw -- i saw it in his eyes . he -- he knew he was leaving us with nothing . elizabeth : it 's really terrible . ewen : and you know what 's worse ? after my father died ... john jacks and his family , they -- they flourished . you know , they believed in the luck of those cards , and they -- and they played that luck for all it was worth . and they did n't just become rich . they became billionaires . elizabeth : well , if you hate the jacks family so much , why are you working with jerry ? he must have something tremendous over you . what is it ? spinelli : you do n't think dr. keenan is capable of hurting elizabeth , do you ? jason : he 's desperate , so who knows ? spinelli : well , one thing we do know is that both wise and beautiful , so hopefully her wisdom will prevent her from antagonizing him and her beauty will sooth his turmoil . but she will keep things under control until she finds a way to contact you . jason : she called last night . dr. keenan stopped the call before we could trace it . spinelli : tell me that you recorded that conversation . ewen : no , i think i 've said enough . elizabeth : enough ? really , ewen ? in case you have n't noticed , we 're getting sick , and we 're probably gon na die soon . and my kids are gon na grow up without a mom because jerry poisoned us , and you helped him ! ewen : i told you ! i swear that i did n't know what jerry was planning ! elizabeth : all of port charles is dying , and i want to know why ! anna : i do n't see -- i do n't get it . how is lying to robert about a son that is n't his and sending him off -- how is that saving his life ? luke : you did n't see him on that bridge , anna . he was devastated by robin 's death . anna : well , of course he was . luke : he felt that he was responsible , that he should have saved her from the explosion . anna : so did i. i felt that , too . luke : well , robert was destroyed . you managed to keep it together . i do n't know how , but you did . but not him . when he saw robin in the morgue ... something inside him broke . and when i found him on that bridge , he was ready to jump . anna : so you gave him a replacement child ? luke : i told you i was improvising . i was desperate . i had tried everything else -- our friendship , you , robin -- nothing mattered to him . nothing . so , finally , as a last resort , i told him that ethan was his son and that helena had kidnapped him . anna : was that a lie , too ? luke : yes , i told you i sent ethan away . by now , helena knows the truth . i 'm sure she 's searching for him harder than robert is , and i 'm counting on him being able to stay two steps ahead of both of them . anna : i want to just get this straight , can i ? ethan is n't robert 's son . luke : mnh - mnh . anna : he was never kidnapped . that was all a lie , too . and you sent robert away to go searching for a pretend son ... leaving me to bury our real daughter alone . luke : if i had n't , robert could have attended that funeral in an adjacent coffin . anna : and ethan , holly , they went along with this ? luke : well , of course they did , because they knew i was doing it to save both ethan and robert 's lives . i hope you understand . luke : anna , you have lied to save someone 's life . i know you have . that 's all i was trying to do . anna : you lied to your best friend ... meanwhile , leaving me to bury robin , alone , without her father . did it never occur to you to tell me ? luke : of course it did . i 've been trying to tell you . that was gon na be our first conversation when we sat down to have that dinner that never happened . anna : you should have told me at the beginning -- when it happened . and -- and if you could n't manage that , maybe you should have told me before we slept together . luke : i did n't mean to hurt you . anna : oh , never mind me . do you have any idea how this will hurt robert ? luke : i did this to save robert 's life . anna : no , there is nothing worse than chasing a lie . i know . i just did it . and the crash is all the more devastating because you know that it was all a false hope . what you did to robert is no different than what heather did to me . elizabeth : tell me what you did . ewen : what difference does it make ? ! elizabeth : because we do n't know how much time we have left ! okay . okay , ewen , you do n't want to spend your last hours carrying this around . i mean , i ca n't -- i ca n't offer you absolution , but maybe -- maybe i can help you find some sort of peace . ewen : peace ? and who says i deserve peace ? elizabeth : i need to make sense of all this . i need to understand . you owe me that much . ewen : i promised my father , on his death bed , that i 'd make john jacks pay . and i worked -- i worked so hard . i got a scholarship to study medicine , and i kept tabs on jacks . and i knew -- i knew he was moving to alaska , so as soon as i could ... i followed him there . elizabeth : and then what ? when you got to alaska ... what did you do ? todd : i -- [ clears throat ] i 'll get you your money . although i 'm not sure what you 're gon na do with it in here . jerry : oh , it 's a temporary stay , i 'm sure . todd : right . you have an exit strategy . jerry : of course . always . mcbain : so , i 'm here . deal with me . now , i 'm not exactly sure how you weaseled your way in here , but time 's up . let 's go . jerry : is that sweet sam ? oh , i missed you . you look a little pale , though . are you still on board with the lieutenant 's plan ? hmm ? sam : go to hell . jerry : oh , come on . where 's your killer with a heart of gold , darling ? jax : just go , sam . i 'll deal with him . jerry : i thought you wanted to die in jason 's arms . sam ? are we not on speaking terms ? darling ? i guess not . jason : did you get the mp3 file just e - mailed you ? spinelli : once i analyze this recording of elizabeth 's phone call , i should be able to triangulate her position , which , in turn , should bring you closer to finding her . jason : [ sighs ] ewen : damn it . is that a state trooper ? elizabeth : is it ? yes -- yes , it is . is he pulling us over ? ewen : no , no , no . i think he 's pulling someone else over . we 're okay , we 're okay . elizabeth : did you mean what you say ? are you gon na help me ? jason : you find anything ? jerry : not the cards . come on , could you please get me a chess set , rock- climbing magazines ? something ? jax : the dead man 's hand , in case you forgot how much money you 're trying to extort . jerry : well , it 's a good number . meant a lot to dear old dad . jax : he loved you , jerry . jerry : but he loved you more . come on , come on . do n't -- do n't deny it . we all adored you . yeah . you were the best of us , jax . and we wanted you to have a charmed life , you know ? even if it meant cutting a few corners along the way . you were n't supposed to know how bad he was . when you found out , it was n't a surprise that dad had put the blame on me and cut me loose . he wanted you to retain the illusion that he was a good man . jax : why ca n't you let him rest in peace ? what does terrorizing innocent people have to do with our father ? ewen : i intended to steal the dead man 's hand back from john jacks . but as luck would have it , somebody had beaten me to it . elizabeth : he did n't have the cards anymore ? ewen : no . and without them , he was just as broken as my dad . so i offered my services as a psychiatrist , and jane jacks accepted immediately . i think she was glad to have someone from back home . elizabeth : so you actually worked with john . ewen : we barely started when he insisted on traveling to arizona to try some holistic treatment . but while there , he -- he had another setback . and jane asked me to fly to the nearest town , brisbee , to continue with treatment . but , um , by then , he 'd -- he 'd been hospitalized . not for any obvious ailment . he simply lost the will to live . elizabeth : so you started out seeking revenge , but you ended up helping john , did n't you . ewen : no . far from it . todd : what did i do ? i have money . a lot of people in this town have money . jerry wants money . let 's give him the money . let 's make this whole thing end . mcbain : what 's the matter with you , huh ? beyond the obvious . what kind of message are you sending ? you poison our water supply , we 'll give you millions of dollars . you 'll have every crackpot in the country doing the same stunt . todd : i 'm doing something . you 're doing nothing ! that 's your strategy ? ! mcbain : that 's what you 're coming up with ? ! hey . hey , you okay ? sam : yeah . mcbain : sure ? todd : sam , what 's your take on this ? do n't you think we have to give jerry money ? sam : no , stop , stop . todd : i know you do n't like me right now , okay ? sam : please , my throat is raw , my body hurts everywhere , i have one hell of a headache -- todd : exactly ! u want the headaches to get worse ? or we raise the money , we give it to jerry before we all wind up in the ground . spinelli : oh , that 's lovely . jason : what is it ? spinelli : church bells chiming on the hour from the south . jason : how do you know they 're coming from the south ? spinelli : well , there 's only one church within possible driving distance that has that kind of carillon . st. mary 's church in the woods near bell forest . jason : how do you even know that ? never mind . you said south . keep going . spinelli : all right , by altering frequencies just so , it is clear that elizabeth is roughly 1.8 miles north of the chapel , and that 's based on the sound of rocks . jason : what rocks ? spinelli : being hauled from a quarry , like the one on 123 , east of fieldston . jason : but what if 1.8 miles north of st. mary 's is just where elizabeth made the call and they kept driving ? elizabeth : ewen , tell me . if you did n't help jax 's father ... what did you do ? ewen : seeing jax with his father was like seeing myself when i was a kid , watching my own father die . jax : dad . you got to listen to dr. keenan , okay ? he 's here to help you . but you got to hold on a little longer while i find those cards for you . and then everything 's gon na be okay . promise . ewen : i heard that jax was gon na get those cards back . elizabeth : the man was already dying . do n't you care about anything besides revenge ? jerry : i think our father would be proud that his card inspired my asking price . jax : i really do n't think so , jerry . jerry : [ chuckles ] you know that man put more faith in the dead man 's hands than he did anyone or anything else , so by putting faith into a tube , i 'm honoring our father ! jax : you could have honored him by showing up on his death bed ! he asked for you . you know that , right ? jerry : he asked , and i was there ! right there ! i saw you at his bedside , making promises that you could n't keep . jax : i promise , dad , i 'll find the dead man 's hand and bring it back to you . and i 'll get you better . you just got to hold on a little longer , okay ? [ door opens , closes ] jax : dr. keenan . ewen : yes , mr. jacks ? jax : i know this might sound crazy , especially to a psychiatrist , but my father believes that his life depends on something called the dead man 's hand . ewen : he mentioned it . yes , i 'm familiar . jax : okay , good . now , i 'm getting very close to finding it , and i promised my dad that i would bring them to him . i just need you to help him hold on to hope until i return . ewen : of course . and i 'll do everything i can to make sure he gets the best care he deserves . jax : thank you . ewen : my pleasure . jerry : you passed me in the hall and you did n't recognize me because i 'd already changed my face . jax : you were there and you did n't tell me ? jerry : why would i ? jax : because i needed your help . we could have tracked those cards down together , jerry . jerry : why would i do that ? ! because i was the one who stole them in the first place ! ewen : it was n't just about revenge , elizabeth . it was about honor . elizabeth : and honor compels you to seek revenge against a man who was literally on his death bed ? ewen : i promised my dad that i would make the man who ruined his life pay . i was finally gon na be able to keep that promise . my whole life had led me to this one moment . and , finally , had john jacks ' life in my hands . this is for what you did to my father ... you bastard . jerry : hey ! hey ! what 's that you 're giving him ? elizabeth : listen , do n't tell me you killed jax 's father . please tell me jerry stopped you . luke : yes , robert is my best friend , and when i found my best friend about to take a swan dive into blackstone canyon -- anna : you lied to him . you could n't come up with the appropriate words for a grieving man ? luke : the first thing i did was join him on the wrong side of the railing of that bridge and offer to jump with him . i told him about jake . told him about having killed a 4-year - old boy and that i did n't want to go on , either , that i had nothing to live for except the people who counted on me and who loved me , and i toughed it out for them ! anna : what did he say ? luke : he said that i had lucky and lulu and ethan , and he only had robin . and then he went to jump , and i grabbed him . and i blurted out , `` ethan is your son ! `` anna : so , what happens when he finds out that he 's not his son ? that 's gon na be like losing another child . what 's to stop him jumping off a bridge then ? luke : holly was concerned about what would happen to robert when he found out the truth , too . anna : oh , wow . finally , a moment of compassion from her . to which you replied what ? luke : that i felt that , by the time he found out , enough time may have passed that he would be able to handle it . anna : are you kidding ? he 's going to be furious . all the trust between you two has been broken . luke : he 'll have to be alive to hate me . anna : yeah . and yet you were willing to risk your friendship with him to say this ? i -- i do n't ... luke : i had no choice . do n't you understand ? do you think that i wanted to send my son away , to deny him ? i did it for robert . anna : yeah , i know . i know . that 's a sacrifice . i understand that you love ethan . i get that . luke : i do . anna : all right , well , you 've set this in motion , you know , and you have to fix it . luke : i will . anna : you got to make right by robert . you have to find him , and you have to tell him the truth . luke : i know . anna : but this time , you are going to be dealing with someone who is not only grieving his daughter but also a son that he 'd never had . can you do that ? luke : yes . i can . i can find him , and i can make it right . i will . anna : good . luke : and what about you ? will you go with me ? anna : no . you -- i do n't even know what i think about you anymore , luke . i really do n't . honestly . gosh ! even if i agreed with this lie , you lied to me ! [ voice breaking ] and now i have to face my life alone without robin ... [ sniffles ] i have to go back to pcpd . i 've got to go . i have a job . i need to go home and find out what 's waiting for me there . officer : lieutenant , 911 is swamped with people calling in saying they 're starting to get sick , and there 's a huge crowd outside that 's demanding to know what g.h . and the pcpd are planning on doing about the situation , sir . mcbain : tell the press the doctors at g.h . are working with the cdc to develop a cure . go . todd : oh , yeah , a whole city of sick people is going to accept that as a solution . how about you , sam ? does that work for you ? sam : i just do n't want jerry to get what he wants . that 's all . todd : so that -- we 're gon na die ? it 's just money ! we give him money ! it 's not even your money ! mcbain : you pay him , you 'll end up with nothing , and you 'll have copycats from here to tuesday , all right ? while the doctors are isolating a counteragent , we 're gon na find the one that jerry jacks already has . todd : okay . you have any clue where that is ? jax : you stole the cards ? jerry : oh , not by myself . a.j . quartermaine helped . jax : y - you knew how much those stupid cards meant to dad , right ? jerry : i was the one who was left out in the cold , remember ? eh ? i took the fall for dad 's misdeeds . so i think i 'm entitled to a little compensation . jax : losing those cards broke him , jerry . he lost the will to live because of you . jerry : i think you might want to drop this , little brother if you do n't want to get your heart broken . jax : you son of a bitch . you killed our father . jerry : no , jax . you did . ewen : it was too late for jerry to stop me . but he did surprise me -- in more ways than one . e - excuse me ! what are you doing in here ? ! only family members are allowed in here ! jerry : i am family ! that 's my father . and i just saw you injecting him with something that 's gon na kill him . ewen : no , no , that 's just something to help him sleep . jerry : right , a sedative , for what the bastard did to your father . i know this drug . it 's a slow - acting one that makes it appear that my father 's gon na die a natural death . it 'll take a while , but you just killed him . ewen : no , i was just -- i was just treating him . jerry : you know , i could raise the alarm . maybe they could revive him , but ... i think it 's unlikely . he 's already too weak . and he must loathe this , lying there , useless . i know my father . he would rather be dead . and that 's fortunate for you , doctor . i wo n't report the murder you just committed . it 'll be our little secret . and i 'll use it . elizabeth : you killed jerry 's father ? jason : [ sighs ] spinelli : hey . where 'd you go ? jason : had to get my gun . spinelli : right . it 's true , what you said before . my analysis of the phone call will only tell us where elizabeth was when she made the call , but i 'm hoping that 's enough for you to find her . jason : yeah , i hope so . thank you , spinelli . spinelli : it 's my understanding that the port charles airport is closed until further notice , so it may take me a while to journey home . jason : there 's a quarantine . there 's no way you could get back here if you wanted to . spinelli : but i do want to , very much . i want to be with my friends . jason : do n't worry . i 'll call you when this is over . [ beeps ] elizabeth : so that 's what jerry had over you . you killed his father . ewen : yeah , he was blackmailing me . forcing me to do whatever he asked . and ... i 've done some unforgivable things . elizabeth : like what ? ewen , tell me ! we 're running out of time ! what else did jerry make you do ? luke : i 'm sorry , slim . sending robert away before robin 's funeral -- i know ... you needed him . anna : save all your apologies for robert . and find your son . make sure he 's safe . luke : i will . anna ... what 's gon na happen to us ? ewen : it 's enough that you know i murdered a man . ca n't tell you any more . elizabeth : you have to ! jerry said we would start to die after we started showing symptoms . ewen : i do n't care if i die . i just wish i could have saved you . now ... i 've got to go and make this right . elizabeth : how ? by shooting jerry ? anna : okay . i 'm leaving now . um ... thank you . i want to thank you because , uh , i know that you thought it was crazy , me coming out here ... thinking that robin might still be alive at the clinic . but you came through for me . i 'm very grateful for that . luke : you did n't answer my question . what about us ? anna : i do n't know . spinelli : surely , the situation in port charles is n't as dire as the myface posts would lead us to believe . todd : do you have any idea ... mcbain : tear it apart if you have to . tell me what you find . todd : mcbain , do you have any idea where jerry has the antidote ? mcbain : i 'll call you back . shut up , manning . todd : fine . you stay here . you do nothing . you be noble and righteous and dead . mcbain : make sure he does n't get back in . [ shouting in distance , siren wails ] mcbain : how you feeling ? you okay ? sam : you did n't answer him . do you have any idea where jerry put the counteragent ? mcbain : it depends . do you know where those cards are ? jax : i killed our father ? i was trying to save him , jerry . jerry : oh , come on ! you were so desperate that you put all your faith in that psychiatrist that lady jane hired -- the one , you know , who was supposed to shrink his depression . remember ? dr. ewen keenan . jax : [ exhales sharply ] i knew i knew that name . he was one of dad 's doctors . jerry : and his executioner . ewen : no , no , i 'm not gon na shoot jerry . i 'm gon na force him to give me the counteragent , and then i 'll bring it back for you . elizabeth : what if you do n't make it back in time ? just take me with you . ewen : i do n't want you anywhere near jerry jacks . listen , elizabeth , no matter what happens , please know that i care about you , and -- and i swear i 'm gon na prove it to you -- hey ! elizabeth : jason ! ewen : get back or i 'll shoot !

maxie : ca n't you see the possibilities -- magazine covers , festival circuits , the academy awards ? dillon : okay , maxie , let 's bring it back down to earth for a second . [ chuckles ] maxie : dream big or go home . this is the chance of a lifetime , lulu . you just need to take it . lulu : well , if you 're so into the idea , maxie , why do you star in dillon 's movie ? maxie : excusez - moi ? dillon : uh , lulu , can i have a word with you for just a second ? lulu : oh , no , what is to discuss ? maxie , why do n't you try acting in the film ? maxie : uh ... but i did n't even say anything about myself . do you know how rare that is ? lulu : i do n't see what the problem is . dillon has n't been able to find the right actress for the role , and if you think that playing marjorie is the opportunity of a lifetime , put your money where your mouth is and audition . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , i guess morgan 's convinced that kiki 's gon na just ... fix everything . carly : well , i mean , as much as i would like to think that young love can triumph over anything , we both know that 's not true . sonny : well , you know , morgan 's been through a lot the last few weeks , and sometimes , when things get rough , you hold on to someone . i mean , she stood by him . carly : okay , well , that 's fine for now , but what about when it stops ? sonny : well -- carly : are we okay with morgan 's mental health hinging on him and kiki staying together ? [ scene_break ] kiki : [ sighs ] dad . you were gon na tell me , were n't you -- about what morgan and my mom were doing behind my back ? [ breathes deeply ] 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 ] morgan : hey , baby . what 's going on ? kiki : hey . morgan : something wrong ? kiki : you could say that . [ scene_break ] jordan : the mayor 's not happy 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 could n't tell her the truth . jordan : the truth ? the truth is i wanted to cut the mayor off at the knees and tell her that the case was closed , but , of course , i could n't do that because we 're not ready to tell her why we had to let ric go . nathan : well , he 's gon na lead us right to silas clay 's killer . [ scene_break ] ric : i will pay my lovely wife a visit in that dank cell , and i will explain to her that i can get the charges against her and franco dropped in exchange for her signature . madeline : [ scoffs ] knowing how she feels about that horrible man , i 'm sure she 'll do it . ric : we are so close to the money . madeline : then what are you waiting for ? get down to that cell and take care of business . ric : oh , i will , i will . i just ... i wanted to , uh , ask you something . how did you get silas to sign this ? [ flashback ] silas : what do you want ? madeline : i need your signature on this . [ scoffs ] well , i can see that you still do n't have any manners . no wonder you 're single . silas : yeah , that 's the reason . madeline : [ sighs ] are you going to invite me in or not ? [ back to present ] madeline : silas ? i - i showed him the page , and he signed it . why do you ask ? ric : oh , because this document was signed the day that silas was murdered . [ scene_break ] maxie : uh , but i - i do n't even have any experience , not even theater in high school . lulu : neither do i , and that did n't stop you from telling me to quit my day job and do this . dillon : uh , let 's not get ahead of ourselves here . [ chuckles ] i mean , i am the director here , after all . maxie : right . [ chuckles ] i ca n't just audition out of nowhere . lulu : oh , come on . it will be fun . what 's the worst that could happen ? if you do n't think that you can do it , you 've got nothing to lose . dillon : [ sighs ] i got nothing . maxie : dillon , y - you are the director . i mean , do you really want me to audition for marjorie , a character you put your whole heart and soul into creating ? do you want to hear me say those words ? lulu : of course , he does . dillon : like lulu said ... what do we have to lose ? maxie : fine . dillon : why do n't you , uh , take a few minutes to look over the script , and then we 'll , uh -- we 'll -- we 'll take it from the top ? [ scene_break ] sonny : if morgan 's bipolar , he needs help . everything being okay with kiki does n't change that . carly : exactly . we ca n't back off . we know the slightest bump in the road , and it will send morgan on a downward spiral . sonny : you got something specific in mind ? carly : what if kiki finds out that morgan cheated on her with her own mother ? [ scene_break ] morgan : hey , what 's the matter ? just tell me . i 'll fix it -- whatever it is . kiki : you will ? morgan : yeah , you know i 'll do anything for you . what 's wrong ? just tell me . kiki : is n't it obvious ? i 'm in my dad 's apartment for the first time since he was murdered . this is where he died . this is where i lost him ... where i lost everything . morgan : no , no , no . no , no , baby . you did n't lose everything . you still got me . you got me . kiki : yeah . morgan : hey , you know what ? you know what ? let 's get out of here , and we 'll get a bag , and we 'll go to my mom 's . she said you could stay there for however long you want . kiki : no . no , i need to stay . i need to stay because there are -- are -- there are good memories here . this is where i got to know my father , and -- and i need to stay because , if i do n't , then i 'm just letting his killer win by destroying this place for me . morgan : no , no , you 're right , you 're right . as usual , you 're right . kiki : this is where silas and i became a family . and it 's where you convinced me to give our relationship a second chance . morgan : [ chuckles softly ] [ scene_break ] jordan : i got to hand it to you two , if this plan works , not only will silas clay 's killer be brought to justice -- we 'll have earned enough -- enough goodwill in the public to just , you know , force lomax to just back off for a bit , for a few months . dante : yeah , at least a few weeks , right ? jordan : [ chuckles ] either way , detectives , this is excellent work . dante : well , thank you , but i was just following my partner 's lead here . nathan : yeah , once i , uh , stumbled onto silas ' signature on that document , all the pieces just kind of fell together . ric : well , i ca n't wait to hear what evidence you have that i killed silas clay . bring it on . dante : with pleasure . nathan : are you familiar with this document ? ric : you know i am , nathan . so are you . dante : can you identify it ? ric : it 's a conservatorship of nina 's inheritance . nathan : [ clears throat ] yeah . now , i knew that nina needed to sign this document , but i did n't realize that silas clay 's signature was required , as well . you care to explain to us how silas clay 's signature got onto this document that you prepared ? dante : dated the night silas was murdered , no less . ric : i - i 've never seen this page or this -- this signature before in my life . dante : ric , are you okay ? you look a little -- a little weird . nathan : yeah , he does look a little weird . why you think that is , dante ? you think that 's 'cause he 's lying ? dante : no , you know , i do n't . i think it 's actually 'cause he 's telling the truth for the first time in his life , i 've never seen this before . ric : no , no , this -- this page was not in the document that i prepared . nathan : if you want us to buy that , you 're gon na have to play ball . ric : yeah . nathan : lucky for us , ric made the right decision . [ scene_break ] madeline : the world did n't end because one doctor died the day he signed a piece of paper . ric : oh , please , y - you 're not gon na sit here and tell me you do n't see the significance -- and remember who you 're talking to . madeline : the substitute da . ric : no , your partner . you 've been holding out on me . madeline : no , i have n't . ric : yeah -- please ! y - you told me the only hurdle that we had to get past in order to get nina 's money was to get her into shadybrook . and now i have to find out that -- that silas needed to cede his claim to her inheritance because she came into the money while they were still married ? madeline : you were the one who told me the lawyers said there was some missing documentation . i said i 'd take care of it , and that 's exactly what i did . once i find out all we needed was silas ' signature , i got it . ric : so you were in silas ' apartment the night that he was murdered . [ flashback ] madeline : this will only take a moment . silas : i do n't have a moment . madeline : [ sighs ] would it help if i told you that , once this business is concluded , you will never need to see me again ? silas : i do n't need to see you now , and yet here you are . madeline : [ sighs ] sign this , and i 'll be on my way , never ever to look back . silas : that 's pretty tempting . give it to me . [ breathes deeply ] wait . you asked me to sign this over a year ago , and i did . madeline : yeah , well , um ... there was a - an unfortunate legal hitch , and the document was rendered invalid . silas : oh , you mean when you nina showed up alive ? madeline : well , i 'll admit there was some ambiguity about her ... death , but , um , we need you now to sign this updated version . silas : really ? madeline : mm - hmm . silas : now , who is this `` we `` you keep referring to ? madeline : my family , naturally . silas : what family ? i mean , nathan does n't care about nina 's money , and you do n't -- ric ? madeline : yes . nina has a new husband now -- a better husband , one who wants this matter settled . and you can hardly blame him . silas : [ chuckles ] man , i never thought i 'd say this , but franco was right . [ sighs ] madeline : why in god 's name would you mention that cretin ? silas : he said you and ric were playing nina for her money . and that 's what this is all about , is n't it ? you two are in this together . madeline : i had to do whatever it took to make sure we got the money . [ scene_break ] dillon : so , you want to tell me what that was all about ? lulu : sometimes , maxie gets what she thinks is a really great idea , usually involves getting somebody to do something that they do n't want to do . dillon : i see . so when people resist ... lulu : maxie gets a little ... dillon : relentless . lulu : exactly . and sometimes the only way to get her off your back is to turn the tables . dillon : so you 're saying an academy award -- lulu : will probably not be going to maxie , no . maxie : [ sighs ] dillon , this script , it 's -- it 's really good . dillon : thanks . maxie : yeah , i mean , it 's a little heavy , but , uh , you actually care what happens to those losers . dillon : you think they 're losers ? maxie : in a relatable sort of way . dillon : well , welcome to independent film . maxie : okay , let 's , um -- let 's get this audition going . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm not proud of what morgan did to kiki , but , you know , morgan is n't exactly proud either , right ? carly : we may not have been the best role models , when it came to fidelity , for morgan , but that does mean we know what we 're talking about here . sonny : mm - hmm . more than most people . carly : yeah , and we know that having a secret hanging over a relationship , sonny , that is a time bomb , and it never ends well . sonny : well , how 's kiki gon na find out ? the only people that know were silas , morgan , and ava . and silas is dead , and ava 's not gon na want to risk her relationship with her daughter . carly : yeah , yeah , yeah , okay , you 're right . fine . [ sighs ] sonny : what ? what do you got ? i know you got something else to say . carly : i - i just ca n't shake the feeling that this is all about to blow up in morgan 's face . [ scene_break ] morgan : look , there 's no need to rush this . we can come back here anyt -- kiki : do you remember we were here when we fell back into bed with each other ? morgan : i know . i know . [ chuckles ] kiki : yeah , we were trying to figure out what it was that we had together , other than fighting michael for avery . morgan : uh - huh . kiki : and you wanted to jump right in . yeah . but i was n't quite so sure . it -- it was mostly because of how terribly things ended the first time . morgan : you know what ? you 're right . you 're right about that . and that 's why i wanted to make it up to you . kiki : you would n't rest until i was convinced that we could make it work this time . because , you know , we were , uh , grown up . we were different people , better people . morgan : right . kiki : and you won me over . morgan : and i 'm so grateful for that . i am so grateful for that . kiki : yeah . it 's too bad it was all just one big lie . [ scene_break ] dante : i guess the good thing about ric is , when you got him dead to rights , you can pretty much set your watch to how fast he 'll turn . nathan : yeah , did n't take him long to point the finger at someone else . [ scene_break ] ric : look , i prepared the main body of this document , but i had no idea that silas needed to sign off his rights to nina 's inheritance . i certainly have never seen the signature page . dante : well , someone must 've known . if it was n't you , nina 's lawyer / husband ... nathan : i wonder who else it could possibly have been . ric : madeline . it must 've been madeline . [ scene_break ] nathan : and point the finger he did . [ scene_break ] ric : you ca n't honestly expect me to believe that silas willingly signed this . i mean , one look , and he must 've known that you were up to something . madeline : of course , he did . and typical of silas , [ sighs ] he did n't make it easy for me . [ flashback ] madeline : you 're making a melodrama out of a simple legal transaction . silas : [ chuckles ] a transaction that takes the control of nina 's money out of her hands . madeline : [ sighs ] for her own good , for her own protection . you 're making it sound sinister and duplicitous . silas : let 's see if nina agrees . what do you say i give her a call and i tell her everything ? madeline : nina is ... indisposed right now . silas : indisposed ? madeline : she 's in shadybrook . silas : you and ric had her committed ? madeline : no , we did not . [ sighs ] for once in her life , nina had the presence of mind to commit herself voluntarily . silas : why ? madeline : nina has been having these ... episodes , seeing and hearing things that are n't there . silas : the sound of a baby crying ? madeline : you knew about that ? silas : she told me . i did n't realize it had gotten that bad . madeline : [ sighs ] silas . nina needs help . she needs long - term , professional help . that 's why i need you to sign this . we need nina 's inheritance to -- to pay for the -- the guardianship , the long - term care . she 's a very sick girl . silas : no , she is n't . not to the degree you think . madeline : [ sighs ] i did n't realize oncologists were such good psychiatrists . it 's not just about the baby crying . there have been ... other incidents . silas : such as ... ? madeline : [ sighs ] i should n't even tell you this , but ... all right . nina 's been hallucinating about babies ... for a very simple and very ... shocking reason . a couple of months ago , nina kidnapped ava jerome 's baby from the hospital . silas : is that so ? madeline : [ sighs ] yeah . in her twisted mind , she thought it was her baby with you . silas : [ sniffs ] nina did n't take avery . i did . [ back to the present ] madeline : we argued over the document . it got a little heated , especially after he admitted that he was the one who kidnapped the baby . ric : hmm . ca n't believe he had it in him . madeline : [ sighs ] that man 's depravity will never surprise me . ric : hey , well , that takes care of silas ' crimes , but , uh , what about yours ? madeline : what ? i 'm sorry ? ric : come on , madeline . you can tell me the truth . you killed silas , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] maxie : `` you were going to follow your dreams . sometimes i wish i had . `` dillon : `` it 's not too late . you were going to travel the world -- go everywhere , do everything . `` maxie : `` plans change . `` dillon : `` no , this is n't you . this is n't anything you wanted . you were the wildest girl i ever knew , absolutely fearless . `` maxie : `` i grew up . `` dillon : `` no , you stopped taking chances , stopped believing in yourself , but i still believe in you . `` maxie : `` nobody asked you to . so if that 's all you came to say ... `` dillon : `` do n't you get it ? this is why i came back . you 're the reason i came back . `` maxie : `` what ? to save me ? `` dillon : `` to get you back to yourself . `` maxie : `` oh , please . if you really wanted to help me , you never would 've left in the first place , but you did . `` dillon : `` you know why i had to le -- `` maxie : `` yes , i know , but you did it alone . you did n't ask me to come with you . [ voice breaking ] you did n't ask anyone to come with you . so , for the rest of us , life had to go on . we had to make sacrifices , decisions , choices , but we made them on our own . you know , you have a lot of nerve coming back here , telling me how to live my life and what i did wrong . you lost that right the minute you walked out the door . you followed your dreams , and i am happy for you , but you have no right to judge the rest of us , who had to pick and choose the parts of our lives we got to keep and -- and what we had to throw away . `` it was terrible , right ? dillon : no , it was ... it was perfect . maxie : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] morgan : what are you -- what are you talking about ? what lie ? kiki : i know , morgan . morgan : know what ? kiki : morgan . i know . i know that you slept with my aunt denise -- or , i 'm sorry , my mom . morgan : wha - what ? that 's -- that 's insane . that 's completely insane . kiki : look me in the eyes and tell me that you did n't sleep with her behind my back . morgan : no , i did n't . kiki : wow . you got caught , and you still do n't respect me enough to just tell me the truth . morgan : kiki , where -- where is this coming from ? kiki : try from a jail cell down at the station . i just came from there . morgan : she 's a liar , okay ? ava promised me that she was n't gon na say anything to you or anybody else . kiki : ava did n't tell me anything . franco did . and now so did you .

[ scene_break ] jordan : so , it 's one thing for lansing to accuse someone else of committing a crime , but how 'd you get him to go along with the rest ? dante : while i was out here filling you in , he was alone in there with ric . jordan : uh - huh . playing bad cop . nathan : you can say that . but i did throw him a lifeline . [ scene_break ] ric : nathan , nathan , you 've got to believe me , okay ? i had no idea that silas still had ties to nina 's inheritance . nathan : and why should i believe you , huh ? the only reason you married nina was so you could team up with my mother and steal her money . ric : that 's not entirely fair . nathan : you could n't just transfer it to some account offshore . you had to stick around and gaslight nina . you had to make my already fragile sister feel like she was going even crazier . ric : okay , regardless of my ties to nina in some way , i had no idea that silas still could claim nina 's money , all right ? therefore , i had no reason to kill him . nathan : ric , i am telling you i do n't care . any jury in the world is gon na look at that document with silas clay 's signature on it and find you guilty . ric : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not going for what -- what madeline did . nathan : well , then you 're lucky that i want to nail her more than i do you . ric : because i 'm innocent ! nathan : you want to go free ? you just have to give us madeline . ric : how am i supposed to do that ? nathan : now we just have to hope that ric can get madeline to admit what she did . [ scene_break ] madeline : did i kill silas ? ric : mm - hmm . madeline : [ sighs ] you 're more histrionic that my dearly departed ex - son - in- law . ric : is that a denial ? madeline : [ sighs ] i needed silas ' signature . i went and got it . i may have despised the man , but what reason would i have for killing him ? ric : you tell me . [ flashback ] madeline : you kidnapped that baby ? why ? silas : it does n't matter . the important thing is nina had nothing to do with it . madeline : [ sighs ] wait a minute . you just told me you kidnapped a baby . if anyone found out , you 'd lose your medical license , you 'd go to prison . silas : yeah , madeline , i 've -- i 've covered that . i 'm turning myself in . madeline : okay , fine . just sign this first . silas : no , you know the first thing i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na come clean to nina . she deserves to know she did n't take avery . madeline : [ sighs ] you were n't so anxious to unburden yourself when nina was starting to lose it , were you ? silas : i was dealing with something else at the time , and i 'm gon na have to live with that . but i 'm not gon na let nina rot in shadybrook for something that i did . i 'm confessing to everything . madeline : [ sighs ] silas : as for that signature ... you can have that over my dead body . madeline : if you say so . [ back to the present ] madeline : there 's nothing to tell . he told me he kidnapped the baby . [ scoffs ] that 's a federal offense . i had him right where i wanted him , and he was totally vulnerable . that 's when i went in for the kill . [ scene_break ] maxie : me ? perfect ? no one 's ever said that about me before without a little prompting . dillon : you got the tone perfectly . [ chuckles ] maxie : snarky and bitchy ? dillon : triumphant . marjorie is not only happy with her choices -- she 's proud of them . this is n't a tragedy about her not following her high - school dream . it 's a tragedy because marjorie and declan 's dreams no longer sync up . maxie : okay , so it spoke to me a little bit . [ chuckles ] dillon : when i direct , i like realism from my actors , and you knocked it out of the park . the role is yours if you want it . maxie : [ gasps ] [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , i 'm sorry . let me explain . kiki : no ! do n't you dare touch me ! morgan : kiki , it 's not what you think . kiki : yes , it is exactly what i think , okay ? you screwed my mom . and i do n't care what kind of lame excuses you have because you betrayed me . morgan : look , look . kiki , just let me -- kiki : franco tried to tell me about you and denise months ago , okay ? and i - i thought it was so absurd that i made him feel stupid for even suggesting it , when , all along , i was really the idiot . morgan : do n't ' say that . do n't say that . kiki : i told franco that you would never do that to me because you loved me ! morgan : i did n't -- i wa -- i was confused . i did n't know . [ stammering ] i thought denise was ava . kiki : oh , my god ! morgan , that 's the whole point ! she was ava ! morgan : but i did n't know that ! i did n't know . she lied to me , too ! kiki : do n't worry , i 'm just as pissed at her as i am at you , but do n't you dare stand here and try to blame this all on her ! morgan : no , no , no , i have blame . i have blame in it . i have blame in it . but it was just such a -- it was a messed - up situation , you know ? kiki : it does n't matter . it does n't matter that my mom lied to you about who she was . it does n't matter that denise never even existed , okay ? you cheated on me . now get out . come on ! get out ! [ sobs ] i never want to see you again . [ scene_break ] sonny : something happen to ric ? tj : i just got off the phone with molly . i do n't have all the details , but she told me her dad 's office was swarming with cops . when she asked why , they kept giving her the runaround . it seems like they 're trying to keep everything under wraps . sonny : molly 's smart . w - what does she think happened ? tj : she got the impression that her dad 's been taken into custody . sonny : by his own cops ? why ? carly : why not ? tj : molly got the impression that the cops think her dad had something to do with dr. clay 's murder . [ scene_break ] jordan : okay , so , walk me through this again . when did you realize that madeline was the killer ? nathan : all right , so , we 're going through the doorman 's registry for ava jerome 's building . looking at silas clay 's signature , i realize that it does n't match the one on the signature page where silas gives up his claim to nina 's money . [ flashback ] nathan : come check out these signatures . okay , this is the quitclaim that silas signed , giving up his right to nina 's money . this is the visitors ' log to ava jerome 's building . now , take a look at these signatures . they look the same to you ? dante : yeah , they 're pretty similar , except the one on the visitors ' log is a little more compact . nathan : exactly . dante : what 's that ? nathan : this is my case file on silas clay . now , you remember , when i first came to town , i wanted to nail him for what i thought he did to nina . dante : yeah , so , what , you think there 's something in there that 's relevant to this ? nathan : yes . this is the prescription that silas wrote for the drug that put nina in that coma , except silas never wrote this . this signature was forged ... ... by madeline . dante : we got to get this to forensics . you 're definitely onto something . nathan : now , the signature on the quitclaim is a match for the one on the forged prescription . dante : but that was n't proof of guilt . we need a confession . [ scene_break ] ric : what do you mean ? you -- you did what was necessary ? madeline : i blackmailed silas into signing away his claim on nina 's money . ric : oh , silas -- silas despised you . there 's no way he was gon na give that to you . [ flashback ] silas : aah ! [ flesh rends ] you bitch ! ohh ! madeline : all you had to do was write your name on a piece of paper . why could n't you just do that ? ! silas : [ groaning , breathing heavily ] you do n't have to do this . madeline : you think this is easy ? now i 'm gon na have to forge your signature , just like i did 20 years ago on that prescription . but you wo n't be around to contradict it now . [ breathing heavily ] [ breathes shakily ] goodbye , silas . i wish i could say it was nice knowing you ... but it was n't . [ breathing heavily ] [ back to present ] ric : madeline . how did you really get that signature ? madeline : from silas . ric : well , if that 's the answer you 're gon na use , you can consider yourself convicted . madeline : what are you talking about ? the police are after you , not me . ric : oh , no , no , i have an alibi . i ca n't say the same for you . [ sighs ] you know what i think ? i think that you went to silas , i think that he refused to sign that quitclaim , and i think that you killed him . madeline : no . ric : no , a simple denial is not gon na work in this case , madeline , okay , especially since you had means , motive , and the opportunity -- not to mention a prior murder conviction . madeline : that was vacated . ric : on a technicality , okay ? nobody -- nobody disputes that you actually committed the murder , and once you killed once , you 're gon na kill again . madeline : no ! ric : listen , csu and forensics have already been through that entire apartment , and after the debacle of this trial , they 're gon na want to go through everything again . they 're gon na be looking for something , maybe a partial print , a strand of hair -- something that is gon na connect you to being on the premises . now , listen . listen , i can derail the investigation , but i am gon na have to come from a place of knowledge . madeline : but -- ric : you 've got to tell me , madeline , everything that happened as it happened . madeline : but -- ric : madeline , this is your only way to avoid prison . you understand ? you 're gon na have to tell me what went on between you and silas ! madeline : damn it ! you know what went on ! i killed the son of a bitch ! [ scene_break ] maxie : i got the part ? i - i get to be marjorie ? dillon : you are marjorie . after seeing you in the role , i ca n't imagine anybody else . maxie : [ gasps ] lulu : ohh ! not to sound negative -- maxie : this is so incredible . i mean , after all the wrangling we did for a - list actresses when we worked from `` crimson , `` i get to be one ! lulu : it 's just , from what i understand , directors and lead actresses have to work closely with each other . dillon : well , yeah , it 's a collaboration . lulu : but you and maxie have never been collaborators -- or friends . maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : in fact , it seems like you get on each other 's last nerve . dillon : [ stammers ] that may have been true . maxie : in the past . lulu : when dillon starts shooting , you would be marjorie . he ca n't replace you halfway through , maxie . maxie : well , duh . i mean , this is n't `` southwest general . `` they tried to recast nurse charles ' daughter for like a year , and then everyone just wanted the old one back . lulu : yeah , well , in all fairness , i think sometimes recasts work out great . dr. brewster 's niece was kidnapped , came back as a different actress . now everyone loves her . dillon : well , nobody 's knocking recasts . it 's just that they do n't really work halfway through the movie . maxie : obviously . i mean , `` lost highway `` ? hello . dillon , i - if you give me this part , i promise you i 'm gon na give you my all . [ scene_break ] morgan : please . no , no , no . do n't -- do n't do this . we fought so hard to find our way back to each other . do n't do this right now . kiki : yeah , i know , morgan , i was there , and i really wish that i could say that it was worth it . morgan : no , no , no , it was worth it . it was worth it . do n't throw this away over some stupid mistake . kiki : oh , there you go again , blaming this on me ? i am not the one that threw this all away , okay ? you did that all by yourself . morgan : you 're right . you 're right . you 're right . you 're absolutely right . you 're right , and i see that , and i was stupid . kiki : great . finally , we 're on the same page . morgan : i hate ava . she means nothing to me . you mean the world to me . kiki : stop it ! stop saying what you think i want to hear , okay ? please . do n't say anything , and just get out . morgan : please , please , please , look . we got back together . we got back together right here in this apartment , and i promised you a fresh start . i did n't hold up to that , but you know what ? we can still make it happen , all right ? we can . kiki : [ sighs ] how ? how could i ever trust you ? morgan : because i 'll tell you why . i will spend the rest of my life making it up to you if i have to . just give me another chance . [ scene_break ] sonny : but i do n't understand . why do the cops think that ric killed silas clay ? tj : molly has no idea . i 'm on her way to meet her now , and i just want to just -- sonny : no . you stay right here . tj : but molly 's waiting . sonny : i 'm gon na go talk to molly after i have a word with your mother . there 's got to be some kind of mistake . i mean , ric did n't even know silas clay . carly : ric is married to silas ' ex - wife . maybe they had an argument . maybe ric wanted him out of the way . ric is capable of murder . the bright side is you can unload ric and you can hire diane back . this is great news ! sonny : i am not gon na cut ric loose until i figure out what the hell 's going on , carly . tj : look , i did n't mean to cause any trouble . sonny : no , you did the right thing . [ scene_break ] jordan : we ca n't take anything for granted here . madeline reeves is slippery , conniving . she 's got ice in her veins and -- s - sorry , no offense . nathan : none taken . i 'm the one who arrested her for killing that pharmacist . jordan : well , she found a way to get out of that murder . she will wiggle her way out of this one if we do n't get her dead to rights . dante : look , if anyone can take her down , it 's ric . the guy may be a waste of air , but he 's a shark of a lawyer . he knows how to break someone down with questioning . nathan : well , and he knows what 's on the line if he ca n't get her to admit the truth . [ scene_break ] ric : so you stabbed silas , and you forged his signature afterwards . madeline : i had no choice . ric : nina was in the apartment when you arrived ? madeline : no . i heard her outside the door , and i hid . then franco showed up . uh , promised that he would take care of everything if she just went back to shadybrook . then he went in the kitchen to get a rag or whatever to wipe my prints off the knife , and , uh ... ric : [ chuckles ] madeline : i slipped out . nobody ever knew i was even there . ric : wow . that 's -- that 's quite brilliant . madeline : [ chuckles ] mm - hmm . if i do say so myself . ric : yeah , except for one ... madeline : what are you doing ? ric : ... rather large flaw . [ chuckling ] madeline : what are you doing ? ric : nobody knew that you killed silas , madeline . but now they do . game over , madeline .

dante and nathan have revealed something to jordan which she 's very impressed by and hopes she can present to mayor lomax . ric is alone with madeline who believes he 's working in her best interest for their common goal of scamming nina into signing her money over to both of them . however , unknown to madeline , ric has worked out a deal with the cops . we then learn that madeline went to see silas right on the day he died and allegedly got a signature from him that will authorize nina 's mom and husband to have legal rights over her against his wishes . only silas knows better than to do what madeline wants regardless of what she may have over him . that prompts madeline not only to forge his signature . she needed to kill him so that he could never reveal to anyone what he knows about her . madeline admits that to ric the she did , in fact , murder silas , assuming she can trust ric and that he will represent her in court . however , unknown to her , he wears a wire when she admits to the murder , which enables the cops to arrest her instantly . kiki declares to morgan that they are through now that she knows he slept with her mom behind her back . maxie wants to promote dillon 's movie which is clearly about his relationship with lulu , yet there is a conflict of wants until the three of them conclude that they want to all work on it together .

[ scene_break ] finn : okay , there 's no one here to listen . so , why do n't you tell me what 's going on between you and elizabeth and why are you in trouble ? hayden : franco was right about the diamonds . about where they came from . they were my father 's , and i took them . and now elizabeth has them . i found out , i confronted her , and then she made me so angry that i slapped her . but that 's all . do you believe me ? finn : yes . hayden : i originally took the diamonds because ... basically , that 's all that was left . my father was in prison . everything he owned was being sold off . and the diamonds were a fall - back -- something small and portable that i could keep with me . i thought about selling them many times , but i did n't , partly because ... they were the last thing i had from my father . finn : okay . okay , so you want to keep the diamonds for yourself because your attachment to them means more than anything else . hayden : it 's not like that . finn : it 's not like that ? then tell me how it is , hayden . all right , help me understand . help me understand how you could be that selfish or , at the very least , this clueless . [ scene_break ] tracy : confirmed . your despicable husband is still in his jail cell , which certainly makes sense , since he 's facing murder and conspiracy charges . alexis : thank you for checking on me . tracy : why did i have to ? how long have you been hallucinating ? alexis : since my husband tried to kill me . i do n't know that they 're hallucinations . it 's more like a waking nightmare . you see , i 'm very capable . i 'm very cognizant of what my husband is capable of . it 's getting to me . tracy : have there been other incidents like this ? it was a bad moment . that 's it . tracy : and is that what you 'd call the fight you had with your daughter ? the one that tmi has on a very heavy rotation ? alexis : tracy , that tmi article was misleading . i had an argument with my daughter . it was not a physical fight . tracy : well , it was a little physical , and worse than that , it was in a public place . right when you were about to testify against julian . you have to help send him to prison . alexis : you do n't think that i know that , tracy ? with -- with the trial getting closer , i 'm terrified that my husband is going to be acquitted because of me . [ scene_break ] ava : ah . i do like it when a man is prompt . paul : you better have a damn good reason for demanding this meeting . ava : a beautiful night , is n't it ? just the slightest hint of autumn in the air . look at all those stars . i do n't even need to wish on one of them . paul : all right , cut the crap , ava . what are you trying to do ? ava : first , just a gentle , little reminder that we are in a public place . so do n't you try to kill me or anything . paul : and why would i want to try to kill you ? ava : imagine my dismay when i got a call from the police commissioner today . jordan ashford -- she asked to talk to me . and as it turns out , she wanted to talk to me about a murder . paul : i told you , ava . the flash drive with your confession will never see the light of day as long as you testify against your brother . ava : okay . a couple of things , paul . `` a , `` i 'm not testifying against julian , and , two , you are never gon na use that recording . paul : are you calling my bluff ? because you 're not going to like what happens next . ava : maybe i should give you a little more detail about my visit with jordan . she wanted to consult my expertise . paul : your expertise . about what ? ava : ancient trinkets and such . paul : ava , what are you trying to say ? ava : she wanted my input on a piece of evidence that they found that she is pretty sure belongs to the hospital killer . of all things , a cufflink . can you imagine ? anyway , i knew i 'd seen it before . i just could n't put my finger on it . then jordan walked away , and i looked at that picture one more time ... and it hit me . i had seen that cufflink before . and its match . on you . [ scene_break ] monica : elizabeth has been admitted to the hospital as a patient . she suffered a serious fall on the stairwell . jordan : oh , uh , i 'm very sorry to hear this . uh , any idea how she fell ? monica : well , it could have been the power outage . i mean , that stairwell is very dark until the genera -- franco : she did n't fall down the stairs because it was dark . jordan : i 'm sorry , do you know something about her fall ? franco : i do . here 's what i know for sure . when i found her at the bottom of the stairs , she was n't alone . someone was standing over her , doing nothing . jordan : and who was that ? franco : hayden barnes . all you need to know for now is that she hates elizabeth . [ scene_break ] hayden : i 'm sorry . i know how this sounds . finn : do you , hayden ? hayden : before you , i had never met anyone who was impacted by what my father did . and to be honest with you , i have nothing left to my name besides those diamonds . and i thought that they were gone forever . finn , i 've been desperate ! i panicked , and i lied to the feds many times . and now if elizabeth turns me in , i am going to prison . finn : so , franco -- and i ca n't believe i 'm saying that -- he 's right . right ? if , god forbid , something happens to elizabeth -- if she dies -- all your problems , they go away . hayden : you do n't honestly think that i tried to kill her ? [ scene_break ] griffin : i think you could help with nurse webber 's diagnosis , and the sooner we have the right protocol for treatment , the better . no , i know . she 's very important to all of us . all right , thanks again .

[ scene_break ] tracy : no matter how much julian has humiliated you and undermined your self- confidence , you can not collapse on the stand . you 're an attorney . you know exactly what that jury needs to hear to return a `` guilty `` verdict . you have to give it to them . alexis : you sound like sonny . tracy : [ scoffs ] thanks for being insulting . i 'm just trying to help . alexis : so is he . he says i need to pull myself together . tracy : well , as much as i hate saying these two words in the same sentence , sonny 's right . alexis : jordan ... accused me of trying to discredit myself in public so that my testimony would n't have any weight . tracy : even though julian tried to kill you ? you 're trying to protect him ? alexis : or maybe she thought i was too emotionally unstable to even get through the testimony . i , of course , told her that i would handle it . and i meant that at the time . [ chuckles ] but now i 'm beginning to wonder . [ scene_break ] paul : really , ava ? i may have cufflinks that may look like cufflinks that may belong to a serial killer ? this is what you think you have on me ? ava : you 're the da , paul . for pete 's sake . you did n't think it was important to tell your police commissioner that you have cufflinks identical to the ones in question ? paul : you ca n't prove that i ever owned anything like those . ava : no . but i do have that lively little video of one of our epic bed adventures . paul : again with the sex tape ? ava : [ chuckles ] you know , it 's turned out to be quite useful . for example , in addition to the somewhat - graphic footage of the two of us behaving like consenting adults , there 's a very clear image of you , paul ... putting on your cufflinks .

[ sighs ] come on , hayden . now 's not the time to keep me in the dark . hayden : i was shot last year . finn : i know . you said something about that -- how you caught a stray bullet that was intended for someone else . hayden : yeah , yeah , but that was the official story , and the official story was wrong . nikolas hired someone to kill me , and elizabeth knew about it . finn : your husband tried to kill you ? hayden : we were n't married at the time . finn : wait a minute . your husband tried to kill you and you still married him ? hayden : can we stay on point here , please ? elizabeth is an accessory after the fact to conspiracy and attempted murder . i was going to give her a compromise . i do n't turn her in to the police , provided she give me my diamonds and obviously does n't turn me in . but i had to act fast before she got to the police . that 's why i was in such a hurry . finn : just a minute . this is -- this is something else . hayden : i may be a blackmailer and a schemer and a liar . but i am not -- and i repeat , i am not -- a murderer . finn : oh . hayden : please ! tell me you believe me .

[ scene_break ] franco : you felt hands on your back ? [ monitor beeping ] elizabeth : they pushed me down the stairs .

[ cell phone rings ] tracy : oh , sorry , i 've got to get this . alexis : [ sighs ] julian : you wo n't be able to testify against me . you 're not gon na be able to do it when you look across the courtroom at me , and i 'm wearing my heart on my sleeve ... for you .

[ scene_break ] monica : did you get elizabeth 's test results ? griffin : no . no , not yet . but the lab did id the contents of that syringe i found in the locker room . monica : derisifol ? oh , my god ! that killer was gon na try something again tonight . griffin : it does seem that way . i am -- i 'm very sorry . monica : [ sighs ] what , you -- you think the power outage stopped him ? griffin : unless the killer was responsible for the power failure . you know , take advantage of the confusion and take another life . monica : who is this psychopath going to get next ? [ scene_break ] paul : you want the flash drive of your confession ? ava : nah . what would be the point ? i 'm sure you 've made copies . i do trust that you 'll keep silent , though ? i mean , that is a condition of our overall agreement . paul : and exactly what is that ? ava : well , do n't be so impatient , paul . i know you 're vindictive and angry and apparently homicidal . paul : [ sighs ] ava : but there 's no reason we ca n't be civil about this . paul : you 're awfully sure of yourself . ava : hm . when you have the evidence that i have , and you 've protected it the way i have , you 've got nothing to fear . paul : what else do you want from me , ava ? ava : it 's very simple , mr. district attorney . i want you to see to it that my brother goes free .

elizabeth has fallen down the hospital stairs after being pushed while the lights were out . franco notices hayden standing over elizabeth in the stairwell after she 's fallen and tells monica , as well as jordan , that it 's very obvious hayden attempted to kill her . finn overhears and realizes that although he does not want to suspect or accuse hayden , he witnessed her angrily confronting and threatening elizabeth right before elizabeth fell , after finding out that elizabeth had `` the goods `` on hayden with the diamonds . he reminds hayden he knows that elizabeth could have put her away in prison if she turned over the diamonds to the feds . the confrontation happened right before elizabeth fell . and it 's obvious hayden had means , motive and opportunity to kill her in order to prevent that from happening . hayden is able to convince finn , however , that although she did intend to shut elizabeth up about the diamonds , her `` plan `` with that had nothing to do with killing her , as she explains to finn that elizabeth knows that nikolas tried to kill hayden and hid it from the cops . and so it was that , which hayden intended to use against elizabeth . at that point , finn assures her he believes her and no longer suspects her . elizabeth , however , comes to while in her hospital bed after the fall , talks to franco , remembers everything and informs him about the confrontation she had with hayden right before she took the stairs and was pushed . they both put two and two together and conclude that hayden clearly pushed her down the stairs and tried to kill her . meanwhile , however , unknown to everyone ( except for ava ) , paul is keeping a needle / syringe with a lethal poison in his hotel room . when monica is distracted in the hospital locker room and unaware he 's behind her , paul attempts to inject her with the poison although he fails yet she never sees or suspects him . griffin finds and brings to monica 's attention that he found a needle and syringe with the very same drug that was used ( by the unidentified murderer ) to attempt to kill several patients , in the trash . yet they both declare they still have n't a clue where it came from or who is using it . ava collects it from paul 's hospital room and informs him she knows this is the very `` crucial `` secret which paul does not want anyone to know and which she can use against him in order for him not to threaten her into testifying against her brother . while this is going on , alexis is very stressed and drinking as she keeps seeing a `` vision `` of julian haunting her and telling her she will fail to have him put away and out of her life . tracy comes by , notices alexis , gives her a pep talk about how she has to stand up to julian and knows she can do that as long as she remains strong and use her power to put him away . meanwhile , unknown to them , ava has revealed to paul that she has proof that he is the hospital killer and in order for her not to inform the cops and have him charged with murder , he needs to use his power as da to let her brother , julian go free .

lulu : i want to give you the benefit of the doubt , dillon . i want to believe that you have n't turned into your grandfather overnight . but thinking that taking me to court and forcing me to have this baby is any kind of reasonable solution is classic quartermaine . dillon : i 'm not trying to force you into anything . i just want you to want our baby , okay ? and maybe if you would stop fighting me all the time and just let yourself feel what 's going on inside of you , you 'll realize that you do . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's a bold move -- stealing confidential records from a doctor 's office in the middle of a hospital . jason : somebody really wanted them . sonny : now they got me , you know , spilling out my guts about everything that 's haunted me . you know what this means , right ? jason : somebody knows where you 're most vulnerable . they know what buttons to push to make you lose it . my money 's on alcazar . sonny : well , you know , we got a lot of enemies to go around , so let 's not jump to conclusions . jason : all right , what -- what do you want me to do ? sonny : go to the hospital , see if anything jumps out at you . jason : and when i find out who took the file ? sonny : shut them up permanently .

[ scene_break ] lainey : you 're under enormous strain . we do n't want you to implode , so call me if you need to let off steam . alexis : i may just have to take you up on that , because at the moment , i 'm so scared that i may just snap and tell sam and ric that i know they slept together . uh -- do you have the paperwork ? sam : yeah . um -- just a signature . i 'm going to go get some water . alexis : do you think she heard ? lainey : would it really be so bad if she had ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucky , what are you doing ? lucky : i 'm waiting for rodriguez to go out on a case . i was looking out at wyndemere thinking my brother 's got a son out there who i hardly have a connection with at all . elizabeth : nikolas knows that you have enough you 're dealing with right now without throwing a baby in the middle of things . lucky : in other words , i 'm an addict nikolas ca n't trust any more than you can trust with cam ? elizabeth : okay , can we not pick a fight right now ? nobody thinks of you as a degenerate junkie . lucky : i should 've listened to you . it was a mistake to go to lulu the way i did , but you know what ? you know what ? i 'm -- i 'm good now . i 'm calm and i 'm going to try again if she ever returns my calls . elizabeth : maybe you should just let it be . she needs room to breathe . she knows you love her and you want what 's best for her . let her find you when she 's ready . lucky : i know . i just need to stay calm and focused . elizabeth : and you will . lucky : thank you . thank you for believing in me . elizabeth : well , you 're off the pills . you 're getting through withdrawal . that 's the important thing . lucky : yeah . elizabeth : okay -- uh -- i have to get to work . so just keep doing what you 're doing and we 'll come out on the other side even stronger like we always do . [ scene_break ] jason : when you were in session with lainey , did you discuss , you know , business ? sonny : anything goes in that room , but nothing that could incriminate us legally , so the cops ca n't use my records . i 'm talking about psychological warfare , a way to ensure , you know , nobody has confidence in me . you let my weak spots be known so that way , nobody in the business will take me seriously or trust that i can run the organization again . jason : okay , but from a legal standpoint , you think we 're safe ? sonny : it 's just a bunch of yammering in there , you know , about personal relationships , which is a virtual road map to , like , you know , death threats , blackmail , even a hit list . that 's exactly why i did not want to get into therapy in the first place , because , you know , my words could come back and bite me . you know what could end up happening , do n't you ? you could run the business permanently , and , what , i 'm left with nothing . jason : sonny , it 's not going to come to that . sonny : well , maybe not , but -- jason : maybe you are right . maybe it 's -- maybe it 's not alcazar . sonny : you got somebody else in mind ? jason : ric .

[ sam chuckles ] sam : such as ? alexis : we all have our secrets . sam : come on , what are you going to do ? you going to refuse to get put under and grit your way through surgery ? hey , who cares if you babble ? i do it all the time , so i do n't think you should worry about that . you have to get through the operation and -- and that 's it . okay ? so what are you going to do ? patrick : we 're going to remove a lobe of alexis ' left lung , along with several compromised lymph nodes . and i 'm not going to lie to you , it 's not an uncomplicated procedure , but i 'm also not going to give you false hope . now , i told alexis she may not survive cancer . but with me as your surgeon , you wo n't die on the table . [ scene_break ] carly : just when i thought you could n't get more arrogant , something like that comes out of your mouth . you 're damn right i 'm angry with you , and with good reason . jax : oh , come on , your -- your theory about me wanting you back to get one up on sonny ? i mean , it 's so ludicrous it does n't even merit a response . and let 's not forget you pursued me , okay -- carly : what ? jax : because you wanted to look out for courtney 's son . i mean , i -- i did n't even like you . carly : thanks . jax : you were the last thing i needed , you know , you -- you and your messy complications ? you come blowing into my life , my -- my hotel , my apartment , and you took me places i did n't want to go . but i went , i went anyway , and somewhere along the way i realized i saw the real you , okay , the one that 's hiding underneath all that obnoxiousness . carly : hold back on the compliments , you know , my head might swell . jax : i fell for you . carly : you left me . jax : i know and i 'm sorry . i really am . i was wrong , okay , and now i 'm here and i 'm trying to make it up . carly : no . it 's too little too late . it 's just like you to come in here and think that i 'm going to be a puddle in your arms -- jax : no -- carly : that i 'm going to be gushing with gratitude . jax : i -- i do n't expect that , okay ? i -- i heard you loud and clear when you said you were n't going to jump through hoops for me . carly : i meant it . jax : what if i told you that i 'm going to jump through hoops for you ? [ scene_break ] lulu : you obviously have n't even thought about me at all . why would i want to have this baby , dillon ? because we 're so in love , because we 're planning a future together ? because i 'm 18 and i 'm done experiencing all the possibilities of life and i 'm ready to turn myself over to the care and feeding of some pooping child that we did n't ever want ? dillon : i get all the stuff you 're saying , lulu . i -- lulu : no . you know what ? i do n't think you do . i do n't think you 've thought about it beyond what this baby means to you -- and to your family . let 's not forget about them . dillon : say what you will about the quartermaines , but they stand ready and willing to help us with this child . this kid would grow up with a family , unlike you and me . lulu : oh -- oh . oh ! so let 's have a baby to make up for our lousy childhoods . that 's a brilliant idea , dillon . that is such a good reason to have a baby . what about your dreams and your aspirations ? all you 've ever wanted to do was direct . you know what ? i asked you this question , you never answered it , so i 'm going to ask you again . are you going to hand the baby off to alice and to nannies and to tutors and , god forbid , edward and tracy ? is it going to be drooling out of a little snugly hanging on the back of your director 's chair ? you have n't thought about the downsides , just like you never thought about them when you married georgie . speaking of georgie , what about her , dillon ? do you think she 's really going to give up her dreams to be a second , maybe even a third mother to this child ? when do you think that she 's going to start resenting you and this baby ? dillon : okay , it 's -- you know what ? it 's not a perfect situation , lulu , but we had sex and you 're pregnant , and now we have to deal with it matter what we have to give up . lulu : meaning you 'll take me to court and force me to have it ? dillon : no , because i do n't believe you 'd push me to that . lulu : do n't count on it .

[ laughs ] that is what you 've reduced it to . you know what ? forget about it . do what you want , because that 's what you do anyway , and i know i 'm not entitled to have an opinion here . alexis : i did n't say -- sam : yes , you said that . alexis : i did n't say -- sam : yes , you did . you know what ? one day kristina is gon na spiral out of control , and you 're not gon na be able to do anything about it . and you know what ? i want you to remember one thing . i tried to warn you . alexis : [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] michael : hey , what are you looking at ? carly : oh , um ... nothing . i was ... just thinking . michael : are you sure you 're okay , mom ? carly : well , aside from well - meaning people asking me if i 'm okay and hovering and checking up on me all the time , i 'm fine . and yes , i get the irony . i know that 's what i was doing to you . michael : and i get what a total jerk i 've been . carly : so do you , um ... do you have any insight into why i made you so mad ? i mean , i get that the anger issues are a side effect from the surgery , but ... if i knew what i was doing that set you off , then i could work on that in the future . michael : it 's hard to pin down . i mean , i just get mad all of a sudden , and it gets away from me . i guess the best way to explain it is , the more you try to take care of me ... the more broken and pathetic i felt . carly : you 're not broken or pathetic . and not that i condone you and kristina running off to mexico , but ... it does prove how resourceful and capable you are . michael : well , i get that from my mother . carly : i 'm proud of you . and i love you very much . michael : i love you , too , mom . [ scene_break ] jason : jerry jacks ' word is n't anything to rely on . sonny : he thought you were gon na die , huh ? you said it yourself . what worse way to die than slowly from a couple of bullet holes ? and what better way to make right a grievous wrong by telling somebody ? that 's the way he inflicts his pain on people . if he had any feeling that claudia was guilty , he 'd have told you right there and loved it . jason : maybe , maybe not . we do n't know . everything we say about jerry right now is speculation . what we know for sure is claudia tried to kill jerry . you need to listen -- i just want you to listen to this . claudia , on recording : hey . it 's claudia . hey , look , i need a job done right away . there 's a late - model sedan and it 's heading towards the garage on 10th street right now as we speak , so you do n't have a lot of time . the license plate number atj39k0 . i need you to wire it to explode and make sure the driver does not survive . you know what ? i do not have time to talk to you about money right now , fredo . just get it done -- now . i 'll pay you whatever you want . sonny : okay , yeah , i remember you wanted me to listen to that before and i would n't . okay . jason : sonny , you did n't want to hear it . and for what , i do n't understand , you still do n't want to hear it . but you have to ask yourself , why would claudia hire someone to blow up jerry except to stop him from exposing her involvement in michael 's shooting ? sonny : we both know how claudia is . maybe she was tired of him framing her for things she did n't do . let 's say i accept what you say is true . why would n't jerry get revenge on claudia and just tell you the truth ? right ? okay . honestly , right now , i ca n't do this . i ca n't . 'cause my head is spinning . it 's been spinning for months . she just -- she lost a baby . my daughter is the one who caused the accident . it 's a lot to deal with . but if you 're asking me to take a side , i 'm gon na say that ian devlin and jerry jacks ... took a hit out on me and my son got hit instead . just them . nobody else .

[ scene_break ] michael : what , your life 's over ? you sure you 're not exaggerating just a little ? morgan : you know what ? i called you here because i thought you would understand , so if you 're gon na be an ass , you can leave . michael : okay , calm down . i did n't mean anything by it . just -- i 'm here to help . so tell me what happened . morgan : [ sighs ] kiki and i are over . finished . done for good this time . dead in the water . michael : what -- what are you -- morgan : well , you know , she was gon na rescue me from my horrendous life that i 've made , but , uh , she dumped me . michael : what happened ? the last i knew , you guys were going strong . morgan : hmm . it -- it did look that way , did n't it ? but that was just a show , so ... michael : okay , well , look . kiki 's going through a lot right now . i mean , her father was just murdered , her mom is -- the nicest word i can think of is a liar . i mean , she 's probably on emotional overload right now . and i know when i lost my dad , i was -- i was -- i was a wreck . i was pushing everybody away , so maybe that 's what she 's doing . she 's just pushing you away because she needs space . morgan : hmm . or maybe it 's because i slept with her mother . [ scene_break ] alexis : madeline was charged with silas clay 's murder . julian : mm , so it was all about the money , huh ? alexis : yep . it was all about the money . julian : hmm . alexis : i 've got to get nina released , uh , first thing in the morning , but i ca n't do it right now . it 's too late . although , i do have to get up really early . julian : well , i guess i will set the timer on the coffee maker . alexis : good . 'cause i - i -- like i said , i 've got to get nina released before i leave town . julian : leave town ? where are you going ? [ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm sorry . where are my manners ? madeline : good question . guard ! maxie : you know , i 'm too well - bred to rub your phony nose in your capital murder charge , but you used your own daughter for your own personal gain and you tried to steal her money . madeline : that was my money . it was always my money . nina 's father should have left it all to me . maxie : you murdered a man for money , madeline , and you had the nerve to tell me that i 'm not good enough for your son ? well , if you ask me , you 're not good enough for a son like nathan or a daughter like nina . madeline : you know , you better watch out , little girl , or you 're gon na end up just like silas . [ scene_break ] carly : madeline reeves killed silas clay over money ? sonny : yep . carly : oh , my gosh . oh , here you go . dr. clay saved danny . he -- he was josslyn 's doctor for the past few years . i ca n't believe madeline killed him . sonny : i 'm right there with you . carly : i just saw her the other day . i told you , i saw madeline at the metro court . we were talking about our kids . she was the one who gave me insight on morgan , because she had already gone through the same experiences with nina . sonny : well , it turns out she never had good intentions toward her sick kid . how pathetic is that ? carly : oh , god . i still ca n't stop thinking about what she told me , though . i mean , madeline told that she kept blaming outside factors for nina 's behavior , and she had to come to grips with that the problem was inside nina , and we have to do the same thing . i mean , morgan is blaming ava for everything , and he thinks kiki 's gon na save him . sonny : does n't want to face the fact , carly , that he 's bipolar . y - y - you saw him , you heard -- he does n't want to hear anything we have to say . carly : okay , then maybe we should have michael talk to him . sonny : why should we bring michael into this ? carly : well , i already did . [ scene_break ] michael : you 've been sleeping with ava . morgan : i 'm not proud of that . michael : well , did you know -- did you know that denise was ava ? morgan : no . i did not . michael : so ava slept with you under false pretenses . morgan : i thought she was denise . i thought she cared about me . it was like ava came back to life . but you know what ? she actually did come back to life . but kiki found out about me and her mom . that was the worst part . michael : well ... [ clears throat ] kiki must have been pretty devastated about that . morgan : yeah , i did it this time , michael . there 's no going back , that 's for sure . morgan : no , it 's -- it 's done . the dream 's done . i - i i got no dreams left . i got nothing . [ scene_break ] ava : what happened ? why was your day so bad ? kiki : the police let me back into my dad 's apartment . my hands were shaking when i tried to open the door . ava : oh , i 'm sorry . kiki : it took everything i had in me not to see my dad lying there . ava : now , you know that i had nothing to do with that . kiki : i believe you . ava : i 'm so sorry all of this happened . i never wanted to see silas harmed , and certainly never , ever want to see you hurt . kiki : and that 's what i thought , until i found out ... ... you 've been sleeping with my boyfriend . [ scene_break ] nathan : you want to threaten somebody ? you threaten me . i am the one who set you up , i am the one who got ric to wear a wire , and i am the one who made sure that he got you to admit you killed silas . madeline : how could you do that ? you 're my son . nathan : i am not your son ! madeline : do n't say that ! nathan : you are done . stop it . and when you curl up on that hard cot downstairs , and the one that we got waiting for you at pentonville , i want you to close your eyes and i want you to see my face . never forget that i am the one who put you there . get her out of my sight . madeline : james -- nathan : that 's not my name . madeline : yes , james . nathan : no , it 's not . madeline : please , you got to listen to me . you got to listen to me ! nathan : i do n't have to do anything you say . get out . madeline : james , you do have to listen to me ! i -- [ scene_break ] nina : found out my mother killed silas to get my money . franco : yeah , do n't forget -- she tried to kill you for your money . nina : wait . she hated him , but she killed him . franco : my father told me that your mother was there at the apartment the whole time that you were there . she was hiding . nina : what ? franco : yeah . she watched you find silas . she watched me find you . she did n't leave until i went to the kitchen to get the cleaning supplies to clean up all of the evidence against you . nina : [ scoffs ] god . that means that -- that she waited for you to clean up the evidence against her , right ? franco : yeah , against her . exactly . yeah . i was so worried about taking care of you that i wiped your mother 's fingerprints right off the knife . nina : she was letting me take the rap for this , my m -- is there any end to her cruelty ? i mean ... franco : there is . there absolutely is . right now . the cops have an audio recording of madeline admitting to everything . nina : it does n't matter . i mean , even if they charge her , even if she spends the rest of her life in prison , it 's not gon na bring silas back . it 's definitely not gon na give me back everything that i lost . franco : hey , nina . nina : what ? franco : forget about her . forget about madeline . you and me , we 're free . nina : why are we still here ? [ scene_break ] julian : you have to leave town ? what 's going on ? alexis : christina 's having a hard time . julian : mmm . hard time with what ? alexis : remember how i told you how well she 's doing at wesleyan ? great grades , great internship . she was looking forward to sailing right into her senior year and settling in with her boyfriend ? julian : yeah , the settling - in part sounds pretty serious . alexis : yeah , well her relationship with trey mitchell was traumatizing for her , so when she fell in love again and found this guy , i was really happy for her , until that came to a screeching halt this morning when he broke up with her . julian : mmm . well , i 'm sorry to hear that . alexis : yeah , christina 's a wreck , and she needs her mom , and i want to be there for her . and it all works out 'cause i do n't have to take molly to college , because it turns out she 's gon na be living at home . julian : living at home since when ? alexis : yeah , oh . it turned out that there was a student - housing shortage . could n't get into the dorms , and because she lives so close to school , she can commute , so they thought she could just live at home . julian : hmm . so , how does she feel about that ? alexis : a little disappointed and half - relieved . julian : [ laughing ] alexis : i 'm really happy about it , though , 'cause i get to keep my daughter around for another few months , and , if the student - housing gods shine on me , it 'll be another year , maybe . julian : hmm . well , i will keep my fingers crossed . alexis : and christina ... wants me there , molly wants me to go , and molly said she 'll be fine . julian : well , it sounds like you 've got all of your bases covered . alexis : yeah . julian : so , uh , when do you get back ? alexis : i will be back in time for your trial . julian : that was n't why i was asking . i was asking 'cause , uh ... kind of gon na miss you while you 're gone . alexis : yeah ? julian : mm - hmm . alexis : i 'm gon na miss you , too . julian : hmm . so , sounds like we 're gon na be , uh , away for awhile and this might be our last night together . alexis : hmm . julian : mm . mm . mmm . [ scene_break ] sonny : you ta -- you talked to michael about , uh , morgan ? carly : i had to , they 're brothers . if morgan hears our concern through michael , it could help . sonny : it 's possible . i mean , michael made peace with morgan , and i wish i could say the same . [ avery cooing ] carly : i know . i know , and , you know , michael just needs a little space , you know , he needs to heal . and he 's like you in the way he holds on to anger . sonny : so i guess this means you have n't heard from michael . is he coming to the wedding tomorrow ? carly : i have n't heard from him . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] morgan : this whole thing , it just kept ... spinning out of control , you know ? michael : oh , believe me , i know that feeling , but i promise you , it does get better . morgan : i could say that it was ava 's fault . i could say that she convinced me into betraying kiki , but i knew it was wrong . i tried to stop myself so many times i ca n't really count , but , you know , it 's like i did n't have control over myself , like someone took over . i could n't -- i could n't think . i could n't breathe . i just had to have denise . and to hell with everybody else . what 's that about ? [ scene_break ] ava : me and morgan ? now , i do n't know what you heard , but you must have misunderstood -- kiki : i heard that you 've been screwing my boyfriend behind my back , okay ? i know all about it , mom . franco told me , and then morgan confirmed it . ava : oh , no . no ! kiki : oh , yes ! you 've been lying to my face ! you 've been manipulating me ! and you 've been jumping morgan 's bones every time i turned my back . ava : no , that is not what happened . kiki : then how did you guys fall back into bed together ? morgan gave me a boatload of crap , trying to explain , and now i want to hear what you have to say . [ scene_break ] morgan : what happened to me every time i was around den -- or ava ? it 's like -- it 's like i could n't think . like , nothing mattered but her . michael : hey , sometimes that happens with -- with sex and passion . rational thoughts kind of go out the window . morgan : right , but y -- i do n't know , maybe it 's more . maybe mom and dad are right . maybe i - i 've been acting irrational . i 've been all over the place , you know ? michael : you think there 's maybe a reason ? uh , more than just bad decisions made under pressure ? morgan : mom and dad think i have a problem -- dad 's problem , so ... michael : okay , full disclosure ? uh , mom was worried about you , and she discussed it with me . morgan : you guys talked about -- you talked about it ? like , that -- you guys talked about something being wrong with me ? michael : yeah , no , she -- she just -- she just wanted you to see a doctor , get evaluated , that 's all . morgan : oh , okay . well , w - what do you think ? you think mom and dad could be right ? about me ? [ scene_break ] julian : mmm . so , this explains the late - night visit -- to say goodbye , huh ? alexis : i wanted to be with you . julian : aww , that 's good to know . alexis : i love you . julian : i love you , too . and it means a lot to me that you have n't let the lies about me affect you . alexis : i know it has n't been easy . no , it has not been easy ... for me or you . i appreciate that it 's been an uphill battle for you , and you 're under a lot of suspicion . julian : people can talk . they can think what they want as long as you believe in me . alexis : i believe in you . julian : mm . well , just remember , those people that are telling the lies ? they 're only doing it 'cause they 're miserable and they 're jealous . alexis : jealous ? julian : mm - hmm . jealous that they do n't get any of this . [ both laugh ] julian : mmm . god , you 're sexy . alexis : ooh . julian : mmm . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki , you do n't want to hear all the details . kiki : yes , i do . ava : i did n't mean for it to happen . kiki : no , of course not . ava : when it started , i -- i had no idea that you and morgan were together . kiki : all you had to do was ask . ava : kiki , it was ... so complicated . kiki : you knew that i was with morgan . me -- your own daughter -- and you still had sex with him . ava : i know ! i tried to stop myself . [ breathing heavily ] there was [ sputtering ] a war inside me . i did n't want to hurt you . i lost the war , kiki . i was too weak to fight it , to fight the feelings and the emotions . it was bigger than me . what morgan and i had , the connection , it -- it 's too much ! it took over everything ! and i ... i could n't resist it . kiki : i see . the connection that you felt for morgan was stronger than anything that you 've ever felt for me . [ scene_break ] morgan : so , now , what i know about bipolar disorder , i know from sonny . but you think i might have it . michael : i do n't know you -- you 've -- you 've been doing things i never thought you were capable of , things the little brother i grew up with would 've never done . morgan : that 's the part that scares me , 'cause i 'm -- sometimes i do n't know why i do things . michael : look , if -- if you do have it , you did n't do anything wrong . it 's -- it 's a chemical imbalance . i mean , people with bipolar disorder , they just experience emotions more intensely , you know ? you know , the highs are higher , the lows are lower . morgan : do you think that describes me , michael ? michael : well , they 're impulsive , a little irresponsible . they do n't always evaluate the consequences -- that second part kind of sounds like you . morgan : what do you -- what about the , uh , the people that are super responsible , the people that think everything out 10 steps ahead , the people that , when they get mad , they do n't blow up and then get over it . they get icy . what 's the diagnosis for those people ? michael : it 's called older - child syndrome . morgan : you 're making that up . michael : no , i 'm not . read about it . look , older children , they -- they tend to , uh , be more super responsible , they 're -- they 're fixers , organizers -- some might say they 're actually a little bit controlling . morgan : you ? [ chuckles ] never . what about the middle child ? is there a middle- child syndrome ? michael : they tend to act out . morgan : well , then that 's me . case closed , right ? michael : you know what ? maybe you 're right . maybe you 're just my wild brother , but if you do have it , if you are bipolar , would n't that be good to know ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're okay with me , right , baby avery ? carly : [ laughs ] sonny : and i know why , because you made peace with your old man , 'cause your old man loves you so much , so much that it hurts . carly : [ laughs ] sonny : a - and i wish your big brother would feel the same , but , you know what , at least he trusts me enough to give you back to me -- carly : hey , hey , hey . michael 's gon na come around . sonny : yeah . carly : and there 's still time , you know . sonny : well , we got -- what , we got , what ... 12 hours ? you think he 's gon na [ chuckling ] show ? carly : hey . you want to make a wager ? 'cause , i 'm feeling lucky . sonny : i do n't have to make a wager . [ avery cooing ] sonny : i 'm -- i 'm [ sniffles ] i 'm the luckiest man alive , 'cause i 'm gon na marry you , the sweetest , most beautiful , strongest woman in the world . you 've been with me through the best times and the worst times . when i 've been down , you know how to bring me back , and i love you for that . you make me a better person . you are the perfect wife for me . [ scene_break ] franco : so the courts are closed and our lawyers wo n't be able to get in front of a judge to have the charges dropped until sometime tomorrow . nina : so how long are we gon na be locked up down here ? franco : well , i 'm hoping that we 're out of here before breakfast . nina : okay . franco : `` okay `` ? nina ... it means that you and i will finally have a chance to be close . nina : i 'll tell you something . i ca n't wait . franco : yeah , me neither . it 'll be great . you and i will be on the outside , your mother will be on the inside -- dead to you . [ keys jostle ] nina : keep moving . madeline : please , please . just give me a moment . nina . nina listen to me . your vile husband is framing me . he 's after your money . you have to know that . guard : hey ! hands to yourself . madeline : [ sighs ] you have to listen to me . nina : you killed silas . he was a good man , he was an innocent man , and you killed him . yeah , that 's my mother . i do n't -- i 'm your daughter . i do n't understand this -- i 'm your daughter ? i 'm your only daughter . i 'm your only kid for god 's sake . you did this for my money ? you did it for my money ? of course , you did , because that 's the only thing that matters to you . it 's the only thing that -- madeline : your father left me destitute , for god 's sake . what did you want me to do ? if he 'd done right by me , none of this would have -- nina : go to hell ! you go to hell . you see these prison bars ? this is -- this is -- this is your future . mom , this is your future . franco and i -- we 're done with this , right ? we 're done with this . we 're out of here , and this is your future . and you get to think about how your greed is more important than your life and you get to think about how your greed is more important than the love of your children ! and nathan and i hate you ! i hate you ! do it ! look at me ! look at me ! i hate you ! you get to think about that for the rest of your life . get her out of here ! [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan , i 'm incredibly sorry for what you 're going through . nathan : thank you . maxie : believe me when i tell you i know what it 's like to be disappointed in a parent . nathan : your empathy is appreciated . maxie : well , i want you to tell me everything that you 're thinking . and i want to hold you in my arms and love you until the pain starts to fade and you forget all about madeline . [ scene_break ] [ julian & alexis breath heavily as they make out ] ava : you and your sister are my whole world . you 're the reason that i risked everything and came back here , not morgan . the connection that i have with you is stronger than anything i ever had with him . kiki : then how was it so easy for you to lie to me -- to betray me ! ava : why do you think i ended it ? when all is said and done , i wanted him to be with you . kiki : are you really trying to tell me right now that you gave up morgan for me ? ava : yes . i told him it was over . i told him to forget about me and be with you . kiki : can you stop lying for even one minute ? ava : i 'm telling you the truth ! all i want is for you to be happy . i 'm your mother ! i love you . kiki : gee , thanks , mom . i really appreciate it . but i do n't ever want to see you again . you are out of my life ! [ scene_break ] morgan : truthfully ? michael : yeah , what ? morgan : you know , i just -- i do n't know -- i do n't know if i want to know , because i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . michael : look , the first step is just making an appointment . morgan : i know , mom wants me to see this dr . collins guy . michael : i think that 's a good idea . morgan : yeah , but it 's not gon na happen tomorrow , okay ? mom and dad are getting married and , like , i do n't know how i 'm gon na face them , because -- i - i 'm try -- i just do n't even want to go to the wedding , to be honest with you . michael : you know it would -- it would break their hearts if you did n't show up . morgan : are you gonn -- but -- but -- but you 're gon na go , so you can have my back , right ? right ? michael : morgan , i 'm not planning on going to the wedding . morgan : what are you talking about ? you -- you have to go . you gave dad avery back , like that was about peace . that was about bringing the family together . was it not ? michael : does not mean i forgive him for killing my father , though , and if i go to that wedding , if i give them my blessing , it 'll be like i 'm dishonoring aj . morgan : i get that . i get that . i - i do . he was your dad . you got to be loyal to his memory , and i know it 's selfish , but the family 's just never gon na be right until you forgive dad . dad needs you . okay , the family needs you , michael , especially me . especially tomorrow . michael : i 'm sorry -- i 'm sorry if i 'm letting you down . morgan : no , you do n't -- no , no , no , no , no . you got to do what you got to do . you know , i got to man up and i got to take control of my life -- my wreck of a life . it 's -- it 's my problem , it 's not yours . [ scene_break ] carly : okay . how do you do it ? i mean , i tried putting avery down 10 times , and she popped right back up . sonny : well , she always has to have the last word , kind of like somebody else i know . carly : no , i 'm serious -- you put her down and she slides right into dreamland . you have always had the magic touch . sonny : well , i hope i - i still have the magic touch with you . even though it 's more like fantasyland than dreamland . mmm . carly : mnh - mnh . no , no , no . no . [ laughs ] i am leaving . [ scene_break ] maxie : i want to take you home and make you forget about everything that 's happened , at least for a little while . nathan : i , uh , i 'm sorry i got caught up in hurricane madeline . i totally ignored your huge news , so ... you had something to tell me ? it 's nothing . [ chuckles ] nathan : no , it 's not nothing . come on , max , really . i want to hear about it . it 's hardly anything . i 'm ... [ sighs ] i 'm gon na be in a movie . nathan : [ chuckles ] are you kidding ? no , this is my serious theatrical face . [ chuckles ] come on . i 'll tell you all about it when we get home . [ scene_break ] madeline : nina . you do n't mean any of this . nina : get her out of here . i never want to see her again . please get her out . get her out of here , please . get her out of here . gosh . [ breathing heavily ] franco : hey . it 's okay . she 's gone . nina , you 're finally free of her . yeah . and tomorrow you 'll actually be free again . you and i , we can spend a little time together . i hope that helps ease the pain just a little bit . no one 's ever gon na mess with you like that again . you 're safe with me . nina : i know . franco : and , um , we got big plans to make , right ? nina : what plans are we gon na make ? franco : well , top of my list is to make up for every bad thing your mother ever did to you . uh ... nina : and the top of my list is to forget that my mother ever existed . franco : it 's a good start . nina : [ sniffles ] i love you . franco : i love you . nina : [ blows a kiss ] you get the real one tomorrow . franco : well , tomorrow 's gon na be a good day . [ scene_break ] morgan : why did you even show up tonight ? michael : hey , i 'm your brother . who else you gon na whine to ? morgan : i know , but , you know , nothing that i 've been through has even come close to what you 've dealt with . michael : yeah , look , like i said , things get better as time passes . morgan : why do you care , man ? why do you care after everything i 've done to you ? michael : what did i just tell you ? you 're my brother , okay ? no matter what you 're going through , good or bad , you 'll always have me . morgan : thanks . thank you . michael : the , uh , bartender deserves this after putting up with both of us tonight . [ sighs ] come here . look , things are going to get better , all right ? maybe not tomorrow , but someday . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki , please . you 're my daughter . you 're my firstborn . the bond that i have with you is greater than anything that i could have with morgan . kiki : you want me to be happy , mom ? okay . you know what would make me delirious with joy ? you ... in prison . ava : now , do n't say that . kiki : franco told me that he could n't get his hands on the recording where you admit to killing an innocent woman , which means the police still have it . and you 're gon na go away for life . ava : no . no , i 'm gon na find a way out of this . kiki : nope . no . and avery is never gon na be tainted by the stain of having you as a mother . she 's never gon na know the ugliness and the humiliation of being raised by you . she 's gon na be spared of ever having to know a thing about you . ava : stop saying things like that . kiki : yeah , who 's gon na tell her about you -- sonny , carly , morgan , michael ? get real , ma . ava : god , this can not be happening . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] kiki : yeah , and what do you think about me ? am i ever gon na get to see my little sister again ? no . because sonny hates you , and he 's not gon na want a reminder of you anywhere near his daughter ! i lost my little sister because of you . and that hurts me . that hurts me so , so much . ava : kiki , that wo n't happen . kiki : [ chuckles ] but you know what ? she 's not gon na have a clue that you exist . you do n't have two daughters . you do n't have anything . and when you wake up tomorrow morning , you will wake up knowing that you have nothing . ava : ki -- [ breathing heavily ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : you know , i 'm missing you already , right ? alexis : good . [ chuckles ] julian : mmm . alexis : i 'm really sorry that i have to leave while your sister 's going into pentonville . julian : [ sighs ] i wish i could help her . alexis : do you want me to call diane ? she 's expensive , but she 's a barracuda in the court . julian : i do n't know , alexis . alexis : i 'm not optimistic . i mean your sister is caught on tape saying she killed connie . but , you know , diane is sort of known for getting guilty people off . so i would -- i would do it . i think it 's your best option . julian : [ sighs ] oh , you might be right . you do n't mind doing it ? alexis : not at all . julian : i love you . alexis : mmm . julian : and i 'm gon na show you just how much i love you . alexis : mmm . [ both laugh ] [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you 're leaving ? carly : yes , i 'm leaving . sonny : why ? carly : because it 's the night before our wedding . sonny : so what ? carly : well , spending the night with the groom is n't at all proper or traditional . sonny : we 're past proper -- never been traditional , so ... carly : well , it 's about luck , sonny . sonny : we make our own luck . carly : oh . mmm . okay . all right , look at it like this -- spending tonight apart will make our wedding night even more exciting . and it will give you time to work on your vows . sonny : so , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . so , you 're telling me you 'd rather spend the night , you know , writing vows instead of going upstairs in the bedroom doing what -- you know what i mean . carly : i will see you tomorrow . right here , where we get married . bye . i love you . [ laughs ] sonny : yeah ? ca n't wait to see you tomorrow .

after elizabeth comes to and remembers everything that happened up to the point when she was pushed down the hospital stairs , she is very certain , as is franco , that hayden intended to kill her . they inform jordan although she tells them she can not suspect or arrest hayden without an actual eye witness who saw her push elizabeth . right then , while hayden is talking privately to finn , a nurse who knows finn is `` hiding `` hayden comes forth and informs jordan she saw that . hayden goes off with finn , both assesses they will miss each other when she leaves town . she tells him she does not want him to get in trouble with the police covering for her and so that is why she has to go . he makes it clear he does not want to see her go . they end up kissing and right then , suddenly , when they least expect it , cops come and place hayden under arrest for the attempted murder of elizabeth weber . sam and jason are spending the night alone together before their wedding and they want to be alone and not worry about anything . carly is planning their wedding . however , when bobbie comes by , she asks her daughter why she will not let her mom watch avery instead of nelle . at that point , carly `` encourages `` nelle to explore her career goals in atlanta although she does not want to send nelle away without giving her a job opportunity if she does not presently have one . when michael is with sabrina , carlos ' brother , joe finds them and makes it clear he wants to not only be in baby teddy 's life , but also in hers ' . sonny notices him , remarks how much he looks like carlos and knows his son has some `` issues `` with sabrina having an old relationship back in her life . yet she assures michael she is committed to him and they 'd both like to put the past behind them and have a future together .

[ scene_break ] reese : it 's chilly in here . do you want a blanket ? ok . i know you do n't trust me , carly , and i understand why . you were right about me . when i first came to port charles , i was keeping an enormous secret and i harbored so much resentment for you . but then time passed and i got to know sonny and michael , and i just did n't want my life to be about anger and resentment anymore . i was still blaming you for my father 's death . and i had a chance at a wonderful future , and i did n't want to ruin it by living in the past . and then today when i saw you in the bedroom of my family home , it hit me that maybe things were n't as black and white as i had thought they were , and that maybe my father was n't as perfect and as honorable as i thought he was . carly : they never are . reese : are you hearing me ? i loved my dad . he was my hero . and he always made time for me , and we would do so many great things together . we would go bike riding and we 'd go to the movies and we were always laughing and teasing each other . of course you know all this because i told you when we were best friends . i guess what i 'm trying to say is that i did n't want to believe that my father could be weak and wrong . and there 's a chance that maybe i misunderstood certain things that he did . carly 's voice : spare me . you believed what you wanted to believe . reese : and that ric is probably right . i was blaming you for my father 's death , but my father was the adult and he should 've known better . carly 's voice : right . you think i 'm going to buy that you 're suddenly forgiving me ? reese : this is going to take some time for me to process and to forgive some people -- you and my father and myself . but there 's one thing that i know for certain -- i 'm sorry . i am truly sorry for everything , carly . and i know it 'll take years for you to believe , but i 'm hoping that you will someday . carly 's voice : you think you 're sorry now ? just wait .

[ scene_break ] jax : wow . well , you 've certainly covered all the bases . justus : it 's everything you need , a log of evidence against courtney . this will effectively prove that she 's unfit to raise a baby . jax : well , it 's what i asked for . there 's just something so cold and , i do n't know , final about seeing it in a legal document . justus : are you sure you want to go through with this ? jax : yes . justus : jax , this is a potent and dangerous weapon . it could cause years of animosity and anger . jax : courtney forfeited her right to the baby when she turned to nikolas . justus : look , man , i 'm not saying you 're wrong . i 'm just saying it would be remiss of me as your attorney if i did n't point out the pros and cons . jax : i appreciate that , i do , but my only concern right now is the custody of my child . as soon as elizabeth gives me the baby , i can end this sham of a marriage to courtney . do n't try to pull any punches here , justus . your job is to make sure that she walks away from this marriage without a penny of my money and no claim whatsoever to my child . justus : how could you be so cold to a woman you seem to love ? jax : cutting myself off is the only way i 'll get through this . justus : jax , there 's no shame in giving this another chance . jax : yeah , we had our chance , ok ? she blew it . justus : yeah , well , you know what they say -- there 's two sides to every story . jax : look , justus , we 're a rebound relationship , ok ? courtney , she just got over jason , she was getting over jason , and i certainly have my demons . i was trying to make something real out of what started as a game . justus : you fell in love . you got married . jax : yeah , on our way to `` happily ever after . `` you know , i accepted the fact that courtney could n't have children . i thought surrogacy seemed like the perfect answer . justus : `` seemed `` ? jax : well , she had trouble accepting the fact that another woman was pregnant with my child . and , you know , i thought that we were working through it -- all the time she was sneaking around with nikolas . justus : look , not to play devil 's advocate here , but you have no actual proof that this affair took place . jax : i do , justus , ok ? they had several secret meetings . she 's admitted that she was attracted to him and she kissed him . could you stay with a woman like that ? i did n't think so . look , i may have put a strain on our marriage . it was n't intentional . courtney , on the other hand , knew exactly what she was doing when she was sneaking around with nikolas . now , she wanted this marriage to be over . well , she succeeded . [ scene_break ] alexis : i have somewhere that i need to be . i 'll see myself out . nikolas : what are you doing here , emily ? emily : listen , after what we 've meant to each other , it does n't seem right to end our marriage through attorneys only . we owe it to ourselves to discuss this face to face . nikolas : will you just stop it with the memorized lines ? emily : i 'm trying to be honest . nikolas : ok , then tell me the truth . alexis said you did n't love me anymore . i need to hear that from you . come on , say it . emily : i 've loved you for so many years -- nikolas : oh , come on . emily : nikolas , i could n't -- nikolas : say it . emily : imagine a time when that would ever end . nikolas : will you just say it ? come on , say it ! emily : i do n't love you anymore . nikolas : see ? now , was n't that easy ? emily : no . but it 's honest . we 've been caught up in memories of what we used to have . and it kept us going for so long that we could n't see that we have nothing left in the present . when i came out here to see you and i found out that you were expecting courtney , i realized that i do n't trust you . a year ago , i could n't have imagined feeling that way . but so much has changed , and it 's changed me . i still care about you , nikolas , but my love is gone . and i think if you 're honest with yourself , you 'll see that yours is , too . so i 'm grateful for the time we spent together and the happiness we found , but now that it 's over , i think we should let go and move on . that 's why i 'm hoping that you wo n't fight me or the divorce . [ scene_break ] sonny : reese ? i 'm sorry , i thought you were a woman that i was looking for . ric : sonny . i was down in the morgue . do n't worry , they 're not there . i was just making sure that all possibilities were exhausted . sonny : have you heard of any other survivors ? ric : no , but the rescue teams are searching again . i 've given them the location when the floodwaters hit where we were -- sonny : right . ric : so they 're checking downstream , on higher ground , as well as in the water . sonny : ok , we should go out there ourselves , right ? ric : yeah , come on . sonny : wait , wait , wait , wait . how did you know to come here in the first place ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : trust me , i totally get wanting to keep things casual . that 's how i felt about me and spinelli until things started spiraling out of control . i mean , i do love him . but ca n't a girl just love a guy and commit herself to him without making some huge always and forever statement ? i guess that 's hard to do when you 're getting married . sam : you and spinelli are getting married ? maxie : oh ! yeah , that 's the plan . sam : wow . i 'm sorry , but that 's just ... not the most enthusiastic response i 've ever heard . maxie : [ sighs ] i just feel too young to get married , and i really want to focus on my career . i just got promoted and i feel like now is the time i should make my mark in the fashion world . sam : okay , wait a minute , though . spinelli has always been supportive of your career . so ... maxie : so , i just do n't feel like marriage is for me , and i keep getting this sinking feeling that i 'm walking into a trap and when i finally get in it , i will be banging on the bars begging to get out . sam : uh - oh . have you told spinelli any of this ? maxie : oh , i tried . but he 's just so happy , i could n't bear to break his heart . and then we made a wedding date and this whole thing just kind of took on a life of its own after that .

[ scene_break ] monica : why am i not surprised ? edward : monica , if you are trying to bring on heart palpitations by sneaking up on me , you just failed . monica : so , i take it you are celebrating . edward : so i take it that you found out from your cronies in cardiology that i passed my test with flying colors . so , it 's a time to celebrate . monica : well , absolutely , but i was thinking maybe you could do it tomorrow , right here at the metro , for the carnival kick - off party . i need you to schmooze all of the big spenders so they will write all the big checks . edward : oh , god , that sounds boring in the extreme , monica . but i guess i can endure anything for a worthy cause . and of course , michael 's foundation is a worthy cause . monica : absolutely . so i can count on you to work the room ? edward : well -- heh heh -- with the fortification of a couple of these , it 'll be my pleasure . [ scene_break ] andrea : hypothetically speaking , if one person were to kill another person and that person , if you wanted to line up their defense , would their attorney be obligated to report them if the police were n't actively investigating ? attorney : a bit of an ethical quagmire , but no , the information would be confidential and the attorney would not be obligated to report the client . andrea : what if this hypothetical person knew of a witness ? attorney : then the hypothetical person should go about preparing his defense , because the police will undoubtedly uncover the witness sooner or later . andrea : hmm . yeah , well -- uh ... yeah , unless -- unless ... the witness happened to be a very elderly man with a possible heart condition and he tragically met his demise before questioning . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the duties of best man are simple , but ... profoundly meaningful . yes , of course you 'd stand by my side as i ... pledge my troth . and you 'd of course be the bearer of the wedding rings as well . jason : how -- how big is this wedding ? spinelli : uh , the guest list has not been tabulated , but it 'll focus on the bride and the groom , and this groom is in dire need of your support . jason : i do n't know , spinelli . spinelli : stone cold , you ... you 've been my mentor and friend . you 've endured listening to all of my romantic woes and offered sage advice . it 's inconceivable to me that anyone else would be standing by my side on such a glorious occasion . please ... do me this honor ? jason : i will be your best man . spinelli : gracious thanks . jason : no pink tie . spinelli : the color scheme 's already been selected . no way around it . jason : no pink tie . spinelli : but maxie : oh ! you are in luck . the hospital carnival is tomorrow , and i was thinking that maybe you could take sam as your date and make up for how you treated her before . i mean , it 's the least you could do . jason : i do n't know how you get these things in your head . maxie : i know . i do n't like carnivals either . a couple years back my boyfriend was killed at one -- i do n't know if you remember -- but am i gon na sit home tomorrow and wallow in bad memories ? no . i will be there , supporting a good cause . jason : i already support michael 's foundation with -- maxie : you need to support michael 's foundation in person . and i think it would make sam happy if you took her out on a date .

[ scene_break ] carly : oh , i can not believe sonny could be so selfish . what am i talking about ? of course he 's selfish . he 's always been selfish . he talks a good game , though , does n't he ? how he wants to have a relationship with his kids , how he can always spend time with his kids . and what happens ? true to form , he runs out on not one , but count , all four of his kids to go chasing after that spoiled little drama queen . jason : okay , sonny left the country to keep from going to prison , carly . carly : oh , whatever , jason . sonny could have gone anywhere . where does he go ? he goes to the city where brenda lives . you think that 's a coincidence ? i do n't think so . you know what really kills me ? is that after he has inflicted all the misery he possibly could on his kids , he leaves it for us to clean up so he can to play with his favorite little toy . [ scene_break ] giorgio : i was able to locate the woman you were asking about . sonny : brenda 's in rome ? giorgio : at the hotel paradiso , near the spanish steps . sonny : okay . thanks . i 'll tell tino how helpful you 've been . giorgio : security is tight at the hotel . no one is allowed up to ms. barrett 's floor unless they 've been cleared . there is a garden entrance on the south side . ms. barrett has been seen coming out of it . i can keep watch , call you if she comes out . sonny : that 's okay . i 'll take it from here . giorgio : mr. coppola would prefer if you had protection while in the city . there 's a situation , a new player -- the balkan . sonny : i do n't need any protection . giorgio : so far the balkan has kept the peace , respected our territory . the boss would like to keep it that way . sonny : you assure tino that i 'm not here , you know , to draw attention or do business . i 'm here in rome strictly for personal reasons .

[ scene_break ] carly : if sonny were n't a father , i would n't care . i 'd say good riddance , go do what you want . but you know what 's gon na happen when he finds brenda . he 's gon na be happier than he ever has been until it all falls apart , and it always does with them . jason : that 's for sonny and brenda to figure out . carly : what about brenda ? she 's just as crazy as sonny is . when they get together , it 's going to be bad . you know that . no one has ever hurt sonny the way brenda has . jason : he 's hurt brenda pretty badly , too . carly : i do n't care about her . we ca n't let this happen . we ca n't wait for sonny to come out sane on the other side . it does n't work for me , it does n't work for my kids . we have to stop this . jason : we ca n't do anything , carly . carly : what are you talking about ? sonny is your best friend . jason : yeah , he 's also a wanted fugitive . we give any indication that sonny 's in italy , the cops are gon na pick him up , and then he 's not just looking at an attempted murder charge . carly : oh , god . jason : so , please , do n't do anything crazy . you got to promise me . carly : i promise i 'm not gon na do anything . i promise .

[ scene_break ] claire : so you stated you were at kelly 's meeting with ethan lovett prior to the shooting . johnny : well , it was n't really a meeting . i was there before ethan showed up . claire : can anyone not on your payroll corroborate that you were actually at kelly 's the night of august 20 ? johnny : sonny 's father refused me service . claire : okay . so you left kelly 's and went to baker street ? johnny : yeah . i took elm for a few blocks , then i cut over to baker . claire : was ethan still with you ? johnny : i was alone . claire : where were you headed ? johnny : to my apartment . claire : so let me get this straight . you walked home alone at night without so much as a gun for protection ? johnny : i did n't know i 'd be running into sonny . claire : but you do know sonny 's restaurant is around the corner . johnny : you know that , too , very well , do n't you ? my apartment 's around the corner as well . claire : earlier you stated you were hoping to speak with sonny about calling a truce of some sort . johnny : yeah , obviously a truce was n't on his mind , was it ? claire : well , i ca n't see why it 's on your mind . actually , i 'm really curious about that . i mean , you 've made it clear from the beginning that you wanted sonny to pay for how he treated your sister . even went so far as providing pictures to help me take him down . why call a truce now ? johnny : i do n't want sonny 's kids to be collateral damage . claire : not even a pause . in my experience , the more confident a person is about answering questions , the more likely they 're lying . johnny : i just ca n't win with you , can i ? claire : it 's a simple observation . johnny : it 's a simple interrogation , really . i 'm the victim here . you 're supposed to be on my side . instead you 're doing everything you can to prove sonny 's innocent . again . [ scene_break ] dante : right now the only way michael 's gon na believe that johnny was shot in self - defense is if sonny admits it . lulu : well , that 's not gon na happen . dante : well , i got ta prove it . i got ta find a witness who saw johnny unarmed . and then michael 's got to hear that testimony . i mean , i 'm hoping that will be enough to sway his blind faith he 's got in his father . lulu : what if you prove that sonny was telling the truth ? how are you gon na feel about him ? dante : he 's still a criminal , i 'm still a cop . i mean , that 's a fundamental difference . lulu : are you gon na want a relationship with sonny ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : that call you walked in on , it was an invitation to a house party . the host encouraged me to bring a date . brook lynn : me ? nikolas : yes . it would be awkward if i showed up alone . i 'll pay you to be my date for the weekend . brook lynn : um , no , no . you have the wrong impression . i 'm actually not a hooker . nikolas : you took money from carly to sleep with dante , did n't you ? brook lynn : yeah , i did n't go through with it . nikolas : you will not be required to sleep with me . i simply need someone to accompany me for the weekend . you will be paid well . what do you say ? [ scene_break ] jason : hey , hey , hey . what are you doing ? sam : what ? jason : you 're supposed to be taking it easy . sam : i have . it 's not like i 'm running sprints or anything . whoa ! jason : see that ? see that 's exactly why you should n't even be walking . you need time to heal . sam : that 's it ? i was hoping for a little bit more personal attention . yeah , that 's better . jason : yeah . did you get any sleep ? sam : some . not much . carly yelling . i heard her . something about sonny . what 's going on ? jason : yeah . it 's turning into a complete disaster . sam : disaster ? wow . and coming from you , that 's got to be pretty bad . jason : sonny changed the flight plan and went to rome to see brenda . sam : oh . jason : first thing is that if he 's caught in italy , they will extradite him and he 'll have to stand trial here in the united states . sam : god , jason . sonny 's smart . he knows what he 's doing . this is n't the first time he 's been on the run . jason : yeah , but he 's not smart when it comes to brenda .

[ scene_break ] brenda : it 's always about you , is n't it ? it 's always about what you want to do and what you want to talk about . why do you have to control everything ? sonny : where the hell is this coming from ? brenda : i have an idea . sonny : uh - huh . what ? brenda : and it 's not good enough , right ? sonny : ah . brenda : what , just -- sonny : what ? ! brenda : sit there , brenda , and look gorgeous and please , do n't have an opinion . but in the meantime , lois has an idea , and you give her a noble prize . sonny : what ? i do n't want to hear this . brenda : oh , see ? see ? of course you do n't want to hear it because it 's what matters to me . it 's what 's important to me . and i did n't ask for your approval for that , did i , sonny ? well , i am so sorry . may i please have your permission to speak , sir ? sonny : shut up , little girl . brenda : that 's it . i ca n't deal with your jealousy anymore . i 've always been faithful to you . i have never given you a reason not to trust me . sonny : wait , i never said that , so do n't be putting words in my mouth . brenda : this is n't even about miguel anymore . sonny : what ? brenda : i do n't even know what 's going on anymore . i feel like i have to ask you permission for everything . i feel like i have to ask for your permission for what i say and for what i do , for who my friends are . this is not my idea of a relationship . say something to me . say something , sonny . i 'm not just about this . i 'm not just about this . do n't you understand ? you have to deal with what 's inside of me , too . sonny : enough . brenda : why ca n't you say it to me ? sonny : no , i 'm done . brenda : why ca n't you just say it to me ? why ? why ca n't anyone say it to me ? why ? ! why ? ! sonny : brenda , come on ! brenda : no ! sonny : do n't ! brenda : oh . sonny : come on .

[ scene_break ] johnny : come in . michael : did i wake you ? johnny : no . i 'm just staring up at the ceiling thinking of how lucky i am to be alive . michael : yeah . you 've had a lot of close calls lately . car bombing , drive - by shooting . johnny : yeah , your pop went through a lot to set me up for all that . he could n't be too happy that you spoiled his plans , huh ? michael : do you remember what you said to me when i pushed you out of the way ? johnny : i said i owed you . michael : yeah . i 'm collecting on that debt . i want you to tell me the truth . and i do n't think that 's asking too much . johnny : what do you want to know ? michael : my dad said he shot you in self - defense , that you had a gun pointed directly at him . did you ? [ scene_break ] jax : regardless of what happened between us , i 'll always care for brenda . i mean , i do n't want to see her get hurt . and that 's a given when sonny 's involved . they were always a disaster together . carly : yeah , no argument there . jax : i spent years being caught in the middle . sonny would hurt brenda , then she would pick up the pieces of her life , and he would swoop right back in to do it all over again . carly : i know . i was a part of that push - pull with sonny for years . jax : yeah , well , brenda broke the cycle . she made a life for herself in rome . i ca n't believe he 's gon na try to screw that up . carly : okay , you know what , here 's the question . are you gon na feel the need to fly off to rome , save brenda from sonny again ? [ scene_break ] jason : brenda is a pain . she 's selfish , self - centered , spoiled , but she did go through a lot with jax and sonny . that 's why she actually moved to rome , just to start over . sam : she has n't done bad . i mean , she 's made a pretty good life for herself . she 's a successful model , and she 's a spokesperson for exploited children . jason : yeah , but right now i 'm worried about sonny because he 's not in a good place . you know . he 's on the run . he had to leave everyone that he loves behind . and i could see how it makes sense for him to turn to brenda , but it 's gon na be a mistake because they always end up hurting each other .

[ scene_break ] ethan : so , just how well do you two know each other ? johnny : we 've crossed paths . skye : johnny baited me with jewels . i happen to be a sucker for emeralds . and scarves . ethan : so it was more than just a meeting of the minds ? skye : no , we just talked . and not even for very long , because johnny , uh , got tied up in something . ethan : do n't worry , mate . your secret is safe with me . to each his own . skye : [ chuckles ] you even sound like luke . the apple certainly did n't fall far from the tree . you really got all the best parts of luke , did n't you ? and more . a woman likes to know she 's in capable hands . ethan : well , i will try to live up to expectations . skye : i 'm sure you wo n't disappoint . johnny : you having fun ? ethan : [ chuckles ] she really is a lovely lady , is n't she ? johnny : yeah , a lovely lady who 's going after my old man and apparently trying to enlist your help . careful how deep you get , mate . remember , you 're a lover , not a fighter .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : i 'm not gon na stand by and watch some guy strap on the ball and chain . maxie : you have to . it 's the only thing i can think of . i mean , if that does n't bring you back ... spinelli : bring it back . bring what back ? the answer 's here . maxie : spinelli , after everything jason 's done for you , you should just do this one thing for him . you 'll be his best man . he really wants you to . spinelli : morgan said that ? maxie : not exactly . i mean , he just had brain surgery . he has n't even woken up yet . the doctors are n't even sure who he 'll be when he wakes up . spinelli : someone who knows he 'd be a sap to get hitched if he 's lucky . maxie : that 's not funny . none of this is funny . jason could wake up a completely different person . spinelli : yeah , different . you dames always want us to be different . maxie : i just want you to be you . spinelli : cancer . maxie : no . the first thought was cancer , but then after they biopsied jason 's brain -- spinelli : cassiopeia . ursa major . orion . stars , sugar pants . maxie : what is it with you and the stars ? spinelli : the answer 's in the stars . the key . one - z - double - t . maxie : stop it . can you stop it , please , with the stars and the stupid case ? spinelli : no , i have to remember . maxie : no , what you have to do is go see jason . and , please , tell him that you 'll -- you 'll be his best man . while there 's still a chance . for both of you .

'cause all i 'm hearing is everything is conditional . you do n't love jason the way he is now .

sonny : well , you know what ? they 're just hanging in there . that 's all -- you know , that 's all i know . michael : all right . well , i mean , lulu 's a spencer , so she 's probably working some kind of an angle . morgan : [ scoffs ] yeah , maxie 's probably used all the oxygen in the room talking the guy to death , so ... sonny : dante knows what he 's doing . he 's gon na bring her home , okay ? all we can do now is wait . michael : mom -- was she freaking out ? morgan : i mean , now is when , you know , we should all be together as a family , so where -- where 's mom ? woman : you really like it ? franco : yeah , i do . i really like it . it 's got everything . it 's joyous and angry and vital , and it 's going in the hospital art show . woman : no ! really ? ! franco : absolutely . woman : thank you , franco ! franco : you 're very welcome . why do n't you go and we 'll work more tomorrow , okay ? in the meantime , just -- i do n't know -- be proud of yourself for making great art . maybe tomorrow we can tackle , you know , the darker parts of -- how long have you been standing there ? carly : long enough to get a feel for what you do . franco : ah . [ chuckles ] what i do . it must be fascinating , watching me from a doorway . carly : it 's fascinating watching you from anywhere . franco : yeah . you 're just flattering me . carly : no , i mean it . i 'm not just flattering you . franco : something 's bothering you , right ? that 's why you 're here ? you do n't have to keep it to yourself , carly . i know what it is . carly : you do ? franco : yeah . you do n't need to keep stuff like that from me . carly : i do n't ? franco : no , i know you 're worried about lulu . no news ? carly : yeah . no . none . and , you know , dante and his partner are out looking for her , and the rest of us are just waiting , and i thought if i had to wait , i 'd rather wait with you . kiki : what kind of run - in did you have with franco ? silas : well , you know , the stupid kind , which i guess is the only kind with him , right ? kiki : okay , but if you ca n't stand him , why do n't you just avoid him ? silas : that 's usually my policy , but this time i made a mistake and i actually sought him out . kiki : you wanted to talk to franco ? silas : mm - hmm . yeah . i thought i 'd have a little chat with him , maybe sort a few things out . kiki : like -- like what ? silas : well , see , nina 's been skipping p.t . to do his cuckoo art - therapy thing , you know , and she has a little effect on her attitude , but it does n't , you know , help her legs work . kiki : i had no idea that franco and nina even knew each other . silas : mm . apparently , he thinks he knows my wife better than i do . nina : you 're definitely ava jerome . ava : so i am . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have somewhere to be . nina : i almost did n't recognize you . you lack that youthful glow that those pictures burned into my brain . times a cruel mistress . [ chuckles ] i said , `` mistress . `` i made a joke . ava : do n't quit your day job . nina : i do n't have a job . 20 years in a coma and a pair of bum legs takes a toll on one 's work prospects . ava : as well as one 's manners ? nina : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't introduce myself . ava : i know who you are ... nina . nina : good . i was getting tired of the cat - and - mouse routine . ava : then you can only imagine how i must feel . and while this little ... chat has certainly been a long time coming , i 'm afraid i have much more pressing business and i am simply out of time . nina : i have waited 20 years for this conversation . you make the time . carlos : nothing will bring your little boy back . you 'll only end up hurting yourself worse . so , please , sabrina , forget out this . forget about me . go home . live your life . sabrina : what life , carlos ? gabriel was my life , and he was taken from me . my son was murdered , and you want me to just let it go ? you want me to forget about it ? carlos : yes . sabrina : could you do it ? if gabriel had been yours , could you just drop it -- huh ? -- wash your hands of your son and let his killer go unpunished ? carlos : no . sabrina : no . carlos : i could n't . sabrina : so , do n't you dare ask any less of me . i have the right to know who killed my son , and i 'm not leaving this room until you tell me who it was . so , you answer me , carlos . did ava kill my son ? answer me . carlos : yes . it was her . gabriel is dead because of ava . carly : so , how 'bout some lunch ? franco : i - i 'd love to , but i have another appointment . carly : caroline roberts . yeah . she suffers from anxiety ... franco : oh . you 're kidding . carly : ... stemming from lack of face time with her man . franco : that 's good , carly . wow . yeah , it does n't say that on the chart , but i 'm guessing that ... carly : yeah , she 's gon na need intense art therapy . franco : ... that 's the source of her anxiety . carly : yeah . intense art therapy . franco : you 're very inventive . carly : mm - hmm . franco : very resourceful . carly : i had to make an appointment so i could spend some time alone with you . everything keeps getting in the way . franco : so , is this our makeup makeup date ? carly : no . i still owe you a makeup date . this is art therapy . franco : [ chuckles ] is it ? carly : yeah . you think you could squeeze something like that out of me ? franco : well , that depends . do you have any repressed desires and longings that you need to unleash ? sonny : your mother was with me at the station last night . she knows what 's going on . michael : all this waiting around must be driving her crazy . sonny : well , you know what ? in the meantime , i 'm -- i 'm glad that my two sons are here pulling for their brother and lulu . morgan : yeah . it 's too bad your two sons had to find out from a newscast . why did n't anyone call us ? michael : well , we have n't exactly been reachable . you 've been camped out at the hospital , and i 've only come up for air once , and that was for a dinner detour with kiki and ava . ava : what a surprisingly strong grip you have there . not such a helpless invalid after all , are you ? nina : it 's my legs that do n't work . my arms and my hands are fine . ava : so it would appear . bodyguard : ms. jerome ? ava : it 's okay . mrs. clay is no threat . bodyguard : we 'll be right here . nina : quite an entourage . ava : i never go anywhere without protection . nina : enemies , huh ? i ca n't imagine why . ava : you told me you wanted me to make time for you . here i am . so , let 's cut the crap , shall we , nina ? i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that you had to see those pictures of me with silas . i 'm sorry that you had to learn about silas ' infidelities in such a sordid , humiliating way . and i 'm sorry that silas felt he could n't come right out and tell you how dissatisfied he was with your marriage and his life with you . it would have saved you a lot of pain . and i am sorry that you were hurt . nina : wow . are you calling that an apology ? ava : i said i was sorry , did n't i ? besides , you won . silas broke things off with me the moment you slipped in to your coma . nina : it 's too bad i was n't awake to appreciate his gesture . ava : ancient history . nina : to you , maybe , but to me it was like it just happened yesterday . ava : well , it did n't . catch up , nina . i did n't get silas . nina : but you got his child , did n't you ? kiki : okay . well , look -- i 've gotten to know franco better than most people have , and , yes , he can be irritating and childish , but ultimately , at least nowadays , he 's harmless . silas : okay , if you say so . but , you know , him being so cryptic about his relationship with nina just makes me believe there 's something up with them . kiki : `` up `` up ? silas : mm . kiki : no . franco is all about carly , and nina is madly in love with you . she 's pining for the days that you stop sleeping on the couch . silas : the pining days are kind of over . sabrina : why would ava jerome arrange to have patrick and i run off the road ? what did we ever do to her ? carlos : not a thing . it 's -- this whole thing with ava ... it had nothing to do with you or patrick . sabrina : so , it was about you ? why -- because you were planning on getting out of the business and she wanted to , what , send you a message by hurting me ? carlos : no . you do n't understand . sabrina : then make me understand , carlos . carlos : ava caused that accident to get to me . sabrina : why ? carlos : not for the reasons you think . sabrina : then why ? what did she want from you ? carlos : to show me who 's boss . she wanted to show me what would happen if i did n't do what she wanted . sabrina : which was what ? carlos : take the rap for a crime she committed . nathan : i think it 's time to consider our next move . dante : i think we have to wait him out . nathan : look , he 's already shot his accomplice , all right ? now that the pressure 's on him , i 'm worried about what he 's gon na do with maxie and lulu . dante : what are you thinking ? nathan : i pulled the specs on this place . there 's another way in . dante : you want to ambush him ? nathan : i 'm just saying that if negotiations fail , we got to have a plan `` b. `` levi : hey , hero ! nina : you and silas have a lovely daughter together , by the way . ava : yes , we do . nina : yeah . oh , she is just one of a kind . right down to that name of hers -- `` kiki . `` how 'd you come up with that ? ava : her middle name is katherine . it 's short for `` katherine . `` nina : oh , clever . ava : it 's also a slang term for `` party `` or `` celebration , `` if you 're brushing up on current colloquialisms . nina : you and silas are just so lucky to have her . e 's just a firebrand , that kiki . we 've been getting to know each other . ava : that 's over . never again . nina : never say , `` never . `` ava : never . do y hear me ? you will never have a relationship with my daughter . nina : why are you so stingy ? it 's not like you do n't have a spare . kiki : this is a huge step for you . silas : really ? what does that mean , exactly ? kiki : what does it mean ? geez ! you -- you just broke up with sam . i mean , that still has to hurt a little , does n't it ? silas : more than a little . kiki : okay . well , then , as your adult daughter , i would be remiss if i did n't ask , is nina just a rebound , or have you recommitted yourself to your marriage ? franco : this is nice , right -- what we 're doing right now ? carly : it is . and it 's , um -- it 's normal . [ both chuckle ] franco : yeah . for us , this is normal . carly : i know that , um ... that we 've hit , like , a rough patch lately . franco : that does n't matter . none of that matters . what matters is that this is nice . and that makes all of the unpleasant moments worth putting up wh . it 's really nice . i love you . carly : i love you , too . morgan : what ? you and kiki -- sonny : okay . you were having dinner at her pla -- at her place ? michael : look , kiki went to ava 's for her birthday , and she wanted to return the favor by having us both over for dinner . morgan : [ scoffs ] how was that ? michael : well , it was n't exactly comfortable or relaxing , but it was important to kiki , so ... morgan : so , basically , you 're screwed , because if you want to be with kiki , then you have to be polite to ava . michael : okay , look -- i know ava is a sensitive subject for the both of you . morgan : yeah , a little bit . sonny : okay . ok , listen . i 'm glad you said something . it 's not that you need to report to me , 'cause , you know , you do n't . but this is a complicated situation , and the more i know , the better . michael : look , guys , the baby 's family . i want to be a good brother or uncle , and that means getting along with ava no matter how i feel about her . morgan : mm - hmm . well , that 's good . i mean , at least the kid will have one relative with his head on straight . michael : there was another reason , too . i , uh -- i felt like i had to see the place where carlos rivera shot aj . i never want to forget what that bastard did to him . sabrina : so , what are you saying , carlos ? you 're in prison because you confessed to murdering aj quartermaine . are you telling me that you did n't do that ? carlos : that 's exactly what i 'm telling you . i did n't kill aj . sabrina : so , you 're innocent ? carlos : well , for that , at least . sabrina : okay . so , then , that would mean that ava killed aj , and then she threatened to hurt me if you did n't take the rap for her ? carlos : ava never came right out and said she shot aj . sabrina : i mean , if it was n't her , then why would she force you to confess ? carlos : i wish i knew that . that is ... all i know is she wanted aj dead . sabrina : we have to tell the police . carlos : no , sabrina . no . no . sabrina : carlos , you are in prison for a crime that you did n't commit , and the woman who did it has even more blood on her hands -- gabriel 's blood , my son 's . ava 's got to pay for that . carlos : sabrina , i wish you could avenge your son 's death . gabriel deserves that . but no one can ever know what ava did . dante : lulu , are you okay ? levi : she 's fine ! she just wants to hold her husband and her baby . dante : okay . why do n't you let her go so she can do that , then ? levi : i 'm not just gon na hand her over to you . there are instructions you have to follow first . dante : you know what , peter ? there is absolutely no way out of this for you . you have to see that . levi : well , the way i see it is i 'm the one who 's in charge . i 'm in control of the situation , just like i 'm in control of whether or not maxie and lulu live . so , here 's the first order . everyone back off now , or i 'll leave bits of lulu all over the place , and maxie will be next ! sabrina : i refuse to let you rot in prison for a murder that ava jerome committed . carlos : that is exactly what you have to do . sabrina : [ scoffs ] have to ? carlos : yes . if you want to live , you have to let this go . ava hired someone to run a pregnant woman and a little girl off the road . she killed aj . and if she did n't , well , she 's behind it somehow . and i know for a fact that aj is not her first victim . if ava is threatened or backed in to a corner ... sabrina : she 'll what ? she 'll kill me ? carlos : yes . sabrina : let her . what does my life matter to me now that gabriel is gone ? i 've got no one to protect . carlos : what about emma drake or her father ? if ava threatened you to keep me quiet , do n't you think she 's gon na threaten patrick and his little girl to shut you up ? sabrina : i will not let that woman intimidate me . i 'm gon na take her down . carlos : no . you are not the `` take anyone down `` type . sabrina : no , i was n't . but when your son is taken from you , murdered , that 's what you become . carlos : do n't you see ? this is -- this is why i did n't want you to know . this burden -- everything ava has done -- is supposed to be on me , on my shoulders , so none of it could weigh on you . sabrina : yeah , well , it does . so , what am i supposed to do now , carlos -- just let ava walk after what she did to you and gabriel ? carlos : you have no other choice . ava : this baby is not a spare . it 's my child -- kiki 's brother or sister . it 's not like some kid i can keep in my back pocket in case i misplace the other one . perhaps if you had a child of your own , you would n't be so flippant about it . nina : you 're right -- i do n't have a child of my own , and here you are on your second . ava : well , do n't worry about it . this one is not silas ' . nina : oh , i know that . i know it 's not silas ' . the word on the street is you do n't know who fathered your baby . [ chuckles ] but i think it 's down to a couple possibilities , one of them being your college - age boyfriend and his mob - boss father . what do they call that these days ? what -- what -- what is that ? oh , yeah -- slut shaming . ava : keeping up with local gossip , i see . nina : i hear things . ava : or slither around for them . nina : no , people just confide in me . i think i have one of those faces . ava : so , tell me -- which of your many confidantes just happened to share with you the news about my baby 's paternity issue ? nina : my really good friend franco . he told me when we were stuck in the elevator together . you know franco , do n't you ? i think he 's one of the many men that you ruined in your wake . franco : that was really nice . but there will be lots of other nice things for us to do . go be with your family . carly : are you sure ? franco : yeah . i 'll catch up with you later . carly : thank you . you really are the best . franco : i 'm not always easy to be with , so thank you for putting up with me . sonny : i understand what you 're going through more than anybody , but carlos is taken care of . you do n't have to worry about him . he has no future . morgan : besides , what -- you 're gon na kill him and then you 're gon na go back to pentonville ? i mean , do you remember how that affected me the first time ? you want to do that again ? michael : [ sighs ] 'cause it 's all about you , right ? morgan : yeah , it is . it 's always been . sonny : we should be worrying about dante . that 's what we should be worrying about . we should be praying that lulu comes home safely . levi : move your people back and arrange for a helicopter to pick me up . dante : look , peter , my people are back as far as they 're gon na go , and the helicopter -- you got to know that that 's not gon na happen . levi : find a way . dante : why do n't we talk about something else ? why do n't we talk about what i can do for you ? lulu : aah ! dante : stand down ! stand down ! hold your fire ! levi : i have two hostages and plenty of bullets . if your men do n't move back , the next one goes into lulu 's gut . she 's gon na bleed out slowly , and it is going to be very , very painful . do we understand each other ? dante : yeah . yeah . just do n't hurt the girls , okay ? levi : now , you and your men behave . i want a chopper with a single pilot . do n't try and pass off one of your people as a second pilot . i will tell them our final destination when we are in the air . i want $ 100,000 in cash , unmarked , nonsequential bills . i was n't gon na ask for a ransom , but since you 're going to make things difficult , there 's no reason i should n't get some spending money out of it . oh , and while you 're at it , i want two sets of handcuffs and some duct tape to manage my hostages , because if i ca n't duct- tape their mouths shut , i might just lose it permanently and try and silence them , okay ? and if you 're thinking about stalling , do n't , 'cause it 's just gon na get lulu killed that much faster . silas : i do n't know . i 've been trying not to overanalyze these things too much . kiki : really ? you -- the strategic oncologist , who thinks out every avenue of treatment and every possible outcome for their patients ? you did n't think about what this might mean for nina ? silas : i know what it meant for nina . i know what it means to her recovery . she wants to think we can go back to the way we were . she wants to believe that we can go back to how things were when we first got married . kiki : yeah , i know . she 's been very open about that . silas : what did she say ? kiki : she 's wanted this since the moment she woke up . silas : she wants a baby to make up for the one we lost . kiki : is that even in the realm of possibilities ? silas : i do n't know . clinically , i - i do n't think so . all i know is that we could n't go on in that kind of limbo -- you know , married but not together . something -- something had to change , and last night , it did . does that make any sense ? kiki : sounds like you 're taking steps to get your marriage back on track . but it also sounds like you 're doing it because you feel like you owe nina , not because you 're actually in love with her . nina : from what i hear , you t poor franco through the wringer . ava : believe me -- the wringing was mutual . nina : is n't it true that once upon a time , franco thought that he was kiki 's father ? ava : okay , first of all , no one in the history of the world has ever uttered the words `` poor franco , `` and , secondly , it 's none of your business . nina : i 'm not judging you . i 'm jealous . what i would n't give to be in the middle of a paternity crisis because it would mean that i was expecting a baby . i only just found out that i was pregnant when i was struck down . ava : by your mother , who is not me . nina : i lost my baby . but things are looking up . silas and i have resumed marital relations . ava : he must be thrilled . nina : oh , he is . he is . i know things are going to work out . and i just saw my ob , and she said that we can have a baby . a baby ... just like this one . carlos : i am sorry -- time to wrap it up . sabrina : thank you . carlos : i am sorry i burdened you with this knowledge , and i am begging you , sabrina -- please let this go . get on with your life . sabrina : my life means nothing without gabriel . carlos : you will find meaning . gabriel would want you to . sabrina : do n't speak for my son ! carlos : do not give in to the hate , sabrina . it will eat you alive . sabrina : [ voice breaking ] ava took my son 's life . he will never walk or run or experience the world . she took that from him , and she took him from me . carlos : she 's lethal . please promise me you will stay away from her . sabrina : no . ava : do n't touch me . nina : what 's wrong ? ava : have you never heard the phrase , `` look , do n't touch `` ? nina : i 'm sorry . you 're not a museum piece ? ava : no , but i am a human being , and i like my personal space . nina : i wanted to touch your baby . ava : well , next time , ask permission . nina : may i touch your baby ? ava : no . nina : wow . with an attitude like that , your child has a very tough life ahead . ava : and nothing but sunshine and daffodils await your potential offspring , i 'm sure . nina : speaking of babies , it 's time i tell silas the good news . ava , it was so great to meet you . i 'm sure we 'll see each other real soon . ava : [ gasps ] damn it . franco : what 's got you so rung out ? silas : before we grew apart and all the things with ava , nina and i had something really good . kiki : yeah . you two loved each other . silas : yeah . there 's a part of me that -- that still does . you know , i guess there 's a part of me that ... wants to make it up to her some way , maybe find out if there 's something of our marriage that we can salvage . kiki : if trying again with nina makes you happy , then i support you 100 % . silas : no matter what happens , i appreciate that . kiki : well , you are my father . i 'll always be on your side . silas : back atcha , kid . kiki : [ chuckles ] all right . i 'd better go catch up with michael . i have an idea . why do n't we all get together and go out to dinner -- me and michael , you and nina ? we 'll have a little double date . silas : that sounds crazy weird , but anything for you , all right ? kiki : okay . silas : thank you for listening . i know sometimes talking to me can be like pulling teeth . kiki : mine or yours ? silas : that 's my girl . see ya . kiki : bye . silas : bye . carly : hey ! morgan : hey . carly : w ! it 's so nice to see both of you here . michael : yeah . we just wanted dad to know that we 're here for him and dante . sonny : uh , yeah . i appreciate that -- both of you guys . carly : all right . so , where are you guys going now ? morgan : well , we were just gon na do a little recon at the pd -- find out what 's going on . sonny : keep me posted . morgan : yeah . will do . michael : all right . see you later , dad . sonny : all right . michael : mom . carly : bye . wow . the three of you getting along . i mean , `` getting along `` means you and morgan are n't fighting and michael 's not playing peacekeeper . sonny : yeah . i 'm just , you know , hoping that he 's , uh , turned the corner . carly : me , too , for all of our sakes . sonny : so , you 're here . carly : i 'm here . sonny : so , you think you might , you know , turn the corner , like ... carly : we need to talk about that . dante : okay , peter . i 'm working on that chopper for you . levi : work faster . dante : well , i 'm doing my best over here . how 'bout you do the same ? lev in what way ? dante : well , you do n't need two hostages . they can be a distraction . they 're tough to wrangle . why do n't you let one of them go ? levi : how kind -- offering to take them off my hands ? dante : well , you know what ? it 'll prove to me that you 're operating in good faith here . levi : i 'm a kidnapper and a thief . i think we 're well past good faith . dante : well , it also might prevent someone from getting hurt , including yourself . levi : i have a counteroffer . when my chopper gets here and i 'm aboard safely , i 'll let maxie go . dante : what about lulu ? levi : lulu comes with me no matter what . dante : no , both hostages stay or you leave here in a body bag ! levi : this is n't up for discussion ! lulu has extra value where i 'm going . there are plans for her . dante : what are you talking about ? what plans ? levi : that 's the deal , dante . take it or leave it . dante : no ! my wife is n't going anywhere ! she 's staying right here with me ! levi : lulu , tell your husband to be reasonable . lulu : reason this ! levi : you shot me . maxie : lulu ! dante : come here . you okay ? lulu : i 'm okay . i 'm okay , thanks to you . dante : i 'm sorry i let him take you . lulu : it 's not your fault . dante : and i 'm sorry i did n't get here sooner . lulu : we 're together . that 's all that matters . nina : hey . do you have time for a visit ? silas : now , are n't you supposed to be in physical therapy ? nina : uh , full disclosure ? i skipped it . silas : you promised . nina : yeah , i did promise , but i was on my way to physical therapy , and then i ran in to my cousin britt . you know her , right ? she 's an ob here . silas : i know dr. westbourne , yes . i always forget that you two are related . nina : yeah . silas : so , what did you talk about ? nina : oh , a lot of things -- my recovery and our decision to have a baby . and she had a gap in her schedule , and she offered to give me an examination , you know , just to determine how good our chances are . silas : how did that go ? nina : it was great . she said there 's no reason whatsoever that you and i ca n't have a baby . is n't that amazing ? ava : if you must know , i just had the displeasure of meeting silas ' wife . franco : which one ? ava : how many does he have ? franco : oh , nina . yeah , i like her . she 's got a certain je ne sais quoi . ava : that 's one way to put it . anyway , you are just the person that i wanted to talk to . franco : no , no , no . ava : i think that it 's time we revisit the subject of you procuring a certain recording . franco : okay , ava , stop . ava : franco , please ? franco : save your breath . ava : it 's vital that i get this recording . franco : and i get that , but leave me out of it , all right ? i just want to live my life . i want to enjoy myself with carly . ava : well , how much enjoyment can you really have , knowing that she 'd rather be with sonny ? franco : okay . you 're playing on my paranoia and my insecurity , and i respect that , but whatever you 're thinking about carly and sonny , it 's just not true . ava : can you be sure about that ? franco : absolutely sure . sonny 's no threat to me . carly : i 'll make this quick . i just saw franco . sonny : and you came running to me . that 's -- does that tell you something ?

everybody is getting ready for carly and sonny 's wedding . michael has a nightmare about his family falling apart if he does not do what the oldest son needs to do for his family . he realizes , at the very least , he has to be there for morgan so he reconsiders his previous decision not to attend his parents ' wedding and commits himself and sabrina to be there . morgan goes to see sonny , intoxicated and distraught after kiki ended their relationship and the fact she found out he cheated upon her with her mom . knowing all that is involved and the fact that he has been through the same condition with bi polar himself , sonny promises to be there for his youngest son no matter what . when carly is getting ready , she talks to jake , assuring him he 's important to her regardless of what sonny thinks . not only that , she somehow instinctively knows that given her recent concerns about morgan having bi polar disorder , she can and should confide in him just like she did with jason . sam also knows she needs to reach out to jake when anna informs her for the first time that she and sloane are aware that nikolas rigged the mayoral election results for lomax in exchange for favors . meanwhile , nikolas is closely `` monitoring `` hayden when it appears he may be more comfortable spending time with her than he 'd be with most other people , as it appears she may have a very different personality than the unscrupulous con artist he knew before and had to silence her .

stefan : bad news ? alexis : one of my chaperoned visits with kristina . ned sent it to me . stefan : how magnanimous of him . alexis : i met with scott and the judge about the tapes that nikolas sent to the police . stefan : well , it was a forgery . lucky obviously spliced that tape together to make me appear guilty . alexis : well , it worked for you , because it will be inadmissible in court because you were taped without your knowledge of being taped . however , there is enough evidence there to bind you over for trial , and the judge has denied you bail . stefan : that 's absurd . alexis : you admitted on the tape that you sent darius out to kill emily and killed summer , instead . if you have an explanation , i 'd love to hear it . stefan : all right . i 'm being blackmailed . [ knock on door ] andy : detective capelli , pcpd .

[ scene_break ] alexis : if darius is blackmailing you , why would he use lydia as a go - between ? stefan : that 's a good question . worth exploring . lydia brought up the subject of the murder , so i knew she was up to something . i was trying to draw her out . alexis : i doubt scott will believe that . i do n't . stefan : alexis , i 'm not lying to you . i did not order emily 's murder . alexis : then why did you tell lydia that you did ? stefan : a better question would be , why would i speak so openly to lydia of all people ? you know me , alexis . i err on the side of caution . if i ordered someone 's murder , i would n't speak of it to anyone . i was manipulating her , trying to draw her out . unfortunately , i miscalculated , and now a fabrication of the moment is being used against me . alexis : i need more to go on . stefan : well , then find it . alexis : it may be difficult . stefan : my new little niece -- she 's lovely . i know how much you want your daughter back , alexis . you 've asked me to deliver her . i can not do that unless you secure my release . [ scene_break ] jason : i saw carly in the hall . she said that you went to the hospital to find me . courtney : yeah . jason : but i did n't see you there . courtney : i looked for you . i just -- i thought that it might be better if i did n't intrude , so i came back here . i tried to be there for you , but -- jason : i was in the chapel . i mean , i did n't know -- i did n't know where else to go . courtney : you said a prayer ? jason : yeah , and elizabeth was there , and , you know , she was really upset , and we talked about emily for a little while , and i just -- i took her to her grandma 's house . courtney : i know how special emily is to you . jason : you know , when i woke up after the accident , you know , all these people came , came to visit me , and they said they were my family , and they wanted me to remember them , and -- and i could n't . and then this little girl with brown hair walked in . she brought me flowers , and i remember asking her , `` am i supposed to know who you are `` ? and she said , `` probably not . `` she said she was my sister , but only technically because she 'd been adopted a year ago . you know ? i mean , maybe it was because she was n't expecting anything from me , but i got along better with emily than anybody in that house . and then when i went away , she would hate it , but she 'd never say anything . she just kissed me goodbye and -- and let me go . and that 's what i tried to do for her .

[ scene_break ] lydia : i have to get out of port charles . lucky : why ? lydia : maybe because stefan has a nasty habit of killing people who get in his way . and tricking him into a murder confession on tape just made me number one on his hit parade . lucky : lydia -- lydia , all this is going to do is make you look guilty . you 'll be playing right into stefan 's hands , and he will have everyone convinced that you were more guilty in doing this than you claim . lydia : everyone , including you ? so , do you think that i had more to do with stefan 's plan than i 'm admitting ? lucky : you tell me . lydia : i 'm too much of a coward to plot a murder . i can lie and scheme with the best of them , but go to prison ? i 'd never take that risk . alexis : i 'm stefan 's defense counsel . i need to ask you a few questions , lydia . lucky : you claim you 're my father 's friend . you know he 's innocent and stefan is guilty , so why are you on stefan 's side ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : when did you first become suspicious of stefan ? lydia : the night that summer died . i walked in on him cursing darius for killing the wrong woman . and when i confronted stefan about it , he threatened me , so i kept quiet . alexis : what about the blackmail call from darius ? lydia : there 's not much to tell . he asked me to warn stefan that if he did n't get a million dollars he 'd go to the police and tell them the truth , that stefan ordered him to push emily off a cliff , but he got summer by mistake . alexis : you need to be careful , lydia . perjury can result in prison time . you can also be charged as an accessory after the fact . lucky : what is this ? scare tactics ? you 're trying to get lydia to back off , even disappear ? well , she wo n't , and i 'll stand right behind her . [ scene_break ] nikolas : lydia 's not a threat to me . stefan : oh , nikolas , she 's capable of much more than you realize . now , you 've proven to be uncooperative , there 's a good chance you 'll never produce an heir , and worst of all , you 're hopelessly in love with another woman . you know , lydia could still lose everything unless you were to die , in which case she could sue for control of her grandfather 's estate . nikolas : i do n't believe that she would commit murder . stefan : nikolas , do n't you find it odd that darius contacted me as well as her ? you know , if i 'm guilty of anything , it 's bringing that viper to wyndemere and throwing her at you . you are more vulnerable and alone than you 've ever been . i am the only one who can protect you , and i 'm helpless to do so in here . guard : time 's up . stefan : nikolas , do you hear me ? you need to be careful . nikolas ? nikolas ?

[ robin laughs ] coleman : that 's for you . but i 'm outta here . this is c. diddy of port charles . peace . anna : aw . robin : oh , wow . anna : so good . robin : you thought that was touching ? patrick : if you consider the source , it is . and i 've got mac and maxie all lined up , ready to go . robin : yeah , right . my uncle mac would never . patrick : hmm . mac already agreed . even he thinks you 're being stubborn . robin : now that 's just mean . patrick : maybe , but whatever works . [ scene_break ] nadine : can you spare a word of advice about nikolas ? elizabeth : i can try . nadine : i think i may have misinterpreted . for a guy like nikolas -- handsome , cultivated , sophisticated -- having a woman over for a four - course meal and dancing , that 's like no big deal , right ? sort of more like a coffee date for a normal guy . so whereas the woman is swept off her feet , for someone like nikolas , it 's just no big deal , right ? nikolas : elizabeth ca n't answer that question . why do n't you come right to the source ? [ scene_break ] carly : this house is something . wow . jax : yeah , i was hoping you 'd like it . carly : it does n't really matter if i like it . it matters if your mother likes it . jax : well , actually , we do n't really have to consider my mother at all . carly : that 's a little presumptuous , do n't you think ? jax : no , not really . it 's ours . carly : it 's ours ? jax : yeah , i put a bid on the property yesterday . carly : you want to move ? jax : i know that you like it here , you know , but this is your house and i still feel like a visitor . carly : jax , that 's not true . jax : well , i mean , it 's just how i feel , you know ? it 's easy to be here when things are going well and it 's just as easy to walk out when things are not going that well , you know , because it is -- it 's your place . i want us to build a place together , you know , something that we are equally invested in . carly : a marriage is n't more likely to work because we build a house together . jax : no , i understand that . we still have a lot of work to do , and i 'm committed to doing that . besides , this place is too small . we need room for additional family members . [ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli , do you think you could arrange a new identity for me , like working credit cards and everything ? spinelli : i could , but i do n't think that 's the wisest course . jason : nobody has to disappear . maxie : that 's easy for you to say . jason : okay , just hold on , maxie . you 're very resourceful . you think faster on your feet than anybody , but can you keep your mouth shut when you have to ? maxie : no , you do n't understand . there 's something about being in a room full of people with all eyes on me that makes my internal editor just fly out the window . i mean , i open my mouth and it 's anybody 's guess what 's going to come out . did you hear about my sister 's memorial service ? i planned on saying all these nice things about georgie , and i ended up just yelling at my mom and making her leave . jason : that 's different from being on the witness stand . maxie : yeah , i know . my life was n't on the line at the memorial service , but it will be at court . and scott baldwin is going to be yelling at me and poking holes in every lie . jason : okay , that 's what you 're missing . you do n't have to lie . you just tell the truth as you know it . you do n't volunteer any information . you do n't give baldwin any more ammunition he does n't already have , okay ? you 've told your story enough on record , it should be reflex by now . all you 've got to do is say it again . now , i know that you can do that . maxie : that sounds like a vote of confidence . should i be flattered ? probably not . jason : all right , well , i 'm going to get back to work . i 'll stop by later . spinelli : stone cold 's advice is the path you should take . maxie : i know . i 'm going to try . i really am . i just -- i 'm terrified . i mean , what if i mess everything up ? [ scene_break ] scott : have you ever been a victim of a violent crime ? juror : no , and i really hate this whole victimization of america . when did we stop taking responsibility and start blaming our misfortunes on external events ? scott : we 'll pass . ric : have you ever served on a jury before ? juror : yeah , sent away some worthless mobster , name of graciola . he 's pretty young . i 'd nip him in the bud if i were you . ric : if you are chosen to serve on this jury , could you be objective ? epiphany : absolutely . i have to be every single day at my job . i 'm a supervising nurse . ric : do you know the defendant ? epiphany : i know who he is . ric : and would that knowledge affect you positively or negatively during the course of this trial ? epiphany : no , sir . i know what would be expected of me . and i would do my utmost best to perform my civic duty . ric : this juror is acceptable to the defense , your honor . scott : no objection . judge : very well . miss johnson , welcome aboard . scott : would you please state your name for the record ? edward : edward quartermaine . and there 's no way under god 's green earth that i could serve on any jury .

[ scene_break ] carly : how could you say something like that ? jax : what do you mean , why would i say something like that ? carly : i do n't want sonny , okay ? i 'm just saying it 's so typical of sonny , that he will use his problems of the present to justify wallowing in the past with brenda ! jax : and why is that your concern ? who cares ? carly : because they 're terrible together , and i do n't want to deal with the fallout . i do n't want my kids to have to deal with the fallout . jax : you know , it just seems like this is a cover , you know , along with the whole set - up , it certainly seems like you 're just a little bit jealous . carly : jealous ? jax : yes . carly : no , you 're the one that 's jealous . you 're the one who always carried a torch for brenda . maybe you never put it down . maybe you just put it in a drawer somewhere so you could pull it out at a moment 's notice . jax : i do n't spend my life thinking about what might have happened with brenda , if that 's what you 're asking . carly : well , you 're the one with the rescue complex , and you always were vulnerable to her . i mean , does n't this make you feel like mounting your white horse and going to save brenda from herself ? jax : look , if brenda wants to go another round with sonny , there 's nothing i can do about it . it 's not really my concern , is it ? carly : you 're not answering the question ! so i 'm just going to be a little more direct . is brenda barrett still the shining example of womanhood by which all others are judged and found lacking ? jax : no , carly . you are . [ scene_break ] michael : is there something about the question you do n't understand ? my dad shot you in self defense , true or false ? johnny : you do n't want to know the answer to that question . michael : you pulled a gun on my dad , he defended himself . why ca n't you just admit it , johnny ? johnny : if you want to know what happened , i 'll tell you . michael : yeah , i do . johnny : i wanted to have a conversation with sonny about brokering a truce , because i do n't want to see anymore innocent people caught in the crossfire -- namely you , kristina , morgan , his family . sonny did n't want to have a conversation . instead , he shot me . michael : that 's bull , john ! you ambushed my dad , meaning to kill him . johnny : with what , my bare hands , michael ? he had the gun . he shot me . an unarmed man . just like he shot your dear brother dante . michael : okay , now you 're trying to shift the attention off you and your lies . you got ta make this right , johnny . call the cops and tell them exactly what really happened . call the cops right now . johnny : been there , done that . michael : own what you did ! call the cops , you son of a bitch ! lucky : michael ! you need to back off before you find yourself in so much trouble , nobody can get you out . [ scene_break ] jason : i just want to say that i never really got the whole brenda thing . okay ? i was n't in love with her . i did n't even like her very much . and you are nothing like her , which is a good thing . sam : what do you mean ? jason : sam , you 're amazing . you 're beautiful , you 're caring , you 're strong . and brenda is just -- sam : what ? what ? jason : well , she 's just brenda . annoying . i 'm getting annoyed even talking about her right now . sam : really ? maybe you 're just covering up for a different way that you 're feeling -- jason : okay , no , no , i really need you to hear me on this . sam : okay . jason : she 's needy , she 's whiny , she 's insecure . and if i had it my way , brenda would live on the other side of the world for the rest of her life . [ scene_break ] brenda : let 's go to the sidewalk cafe . murphy : i would like it if we could just be alone . brenda : they have finger cookies at the sidewalk cafe . murphy : and a side order of gawking tourists . brenda : we can just blend in and hide in the corner . murphy : right , like we always blend in . like , in that trattoria in venice , where we almost got stampeded for autographs . brenda : that 's where i tore my favorite skirt , remember -- murphy : you remember , our first fight with the paparazzi . brenda : and you lost . murphy : hey . brenda : well , you did . you lost . murphy : okay . my point is , is that we ca n't control our environment when we 're out in public . brenda : all right . murphy : room service ? brenda : let 's have room service . murphy : come on . brenda : oh , room service ! [ scene_break ] sonny : actually , i 'm going to keep the magazine . but i 'm done here , so if you want the table . woman : must you run off ? sonny : yeah . do you have any other suggestions ? woman : well , we could keep each other company . sonny : uh ... [ chuckles ] woman : [ laughs ] i 'm not trying to pick you up . maybe 20 years ago . even 10 . sonny : i 'd be flattered . and agreeable . woman : flirt . i just thought since i 'm dining alone , and the lady you are waiting for has yet to make an appearance , we could , oh , how you say , pool our resources . sonny : how do you know i 'm waiting for someone ? woman : i have eyes . so have you . and yours are glued to an entrance of a moonlit garden in rome . why else but a particularly haunting woman ? [ scene_break ] michael : what are you yelling at me for , lucky ? huh ? i 'm trying to get this coward to tell the truth . lucky : you need to leave . now . i 'm not kidding . michael : what , are you on johnny 's side ? lucky : he 's been unconscious for days because your father shot him . he has n't recovered . he 's lying defenseless in the icu unit . what do you think happens if johnny throws a stitch or pops a clot and bleeds to death while you 're harassing him ? what does that look like ? huh ? michael : looks like attempted murder . i got it . lucky : and what does that mean ? michael : back in pentonville , no chance at parole . lucky : that 's right . do you still want to argue about whose side i 'm on ? michael : but he 's lying , lucky . dad shot johnny in self defense ! lucky : that 's for the cops to figure out . now get out . now . michael : me and you both know the truth , and you 're going to tell it , one way or the other . johnny : do n't be so hard on the kid . he 's just trying to protect his father . lucky : okay , so we know that sonny was out to get you . johnny : feeling 's mutual . lucky : the lopez clan were n't fans , either . johnny : i 'm not good at making friends . lucky : exactly . so why go wandering down baker street without a weapon for protection ? johnny : how would you like a new job ? [ scene_break ] robin : those cultures should have been back by now for testing . excuse me , what did you say ? no . no , i do n't need to chill , okay ? you need to get me the things that i need when i need them . so i 'm coming over now . those cultures better be ready by the time i get there . ughh ! nice going , robin .

[ laughs ] a tug of war , seriously ? dr. trydal : i really want this surgery . lisa : okay , mrs. lindsey said her next call will be her attorney . dr. trydal : [ sighs ] unbelievable . [ scene_break ] lucky : if you 're gearing up to offer me a bribe , you might want to be smarter than that . because i have no problem arresting you right here in the icu . johnny : bribes are so bush league . besides , i do n't want a cop on my payroll . i want lucky spencer . lucky : are you suggesting that i quit the force , work for you ? johnny : well , 10 times the pay , 10 times the freedom . freedom . when was the last time you had a good taste of some of that , huh ? would n't you rather laugh with the sinners than die with the saints ? lucky : someone else is going to come here to take your statement . [ scene_break ] woman : this is the lady you can not forget , sí ? sonny : are you a psychic or something ? woman : no , experienced . sonny : ahh . woman : bellissima ! sonny : that 's what i said the first time i met her . she was the most beautiful thing i 'd ever seen . woman : hmm . love at first sight , huh ? sonny : hmm . i do n't know . i do n't know what you call it , but it was a powerful pull , like nothing that i 've ever felt before . and i knew she could never really be mine . woman : do you still feel that way ? sonny : well , brenda invested a lot in me . and she deserved more and better than she got back . but she was very tenacious . woman : she would not give you up so easy . sonny : yeah . she loved me . and that was it . she was n't going anywhere . we tried , we failed , we tried . brenda and i , we could never just get it right . and we could never quite ... let go . [ scene_break ] brenda : yay ! we made it home safe and sound . until next time we have to venture out into the dreaded public . what 's wrong with you ? murphy : you know , we need to have a conversation . brenda : wow , okay , that sounds very serious . i might need fortification . do you want to try one of my pears ? murphy : no , i do n't want to try one of your -- brenda : i think you do . i think you want one of my organic pears that i got at the open air market today . they are incredible ! murphy : yeah , i know , you went all the way to the piazza san cosimato . brenda : yeah . how 'd you know that ? murphy : suzanne called me . she 's worried about you , and with good reason . because there 's some bad guys who want to bring harm to you . you ca n't pay attention to that ? brenda : i 'm sorry , what do you mean suzanne called you ? why is suzanne calling you and talking to you about my personal whereabouts ? i mean , she 's some girl i work with . murphy : suzanne is looking out for you . and it 's a good thing , 'cause you apparently ca n't seem to be bothered by that . brenda , if you 're not careful , you 're going to get yourself killed . van guy : this is the woman we 're looking for . [ scene_break ] robin : the lab is running behind , so we do n't have results on taylor or shapiro yet . i will get them to you as soon as i can . steve : thanks . robin : and the drug regimen we 're trying on mrs. mcdougal is not working . the head injury ? patrick should take a look at her . steve : patrick is in surgery . robin : with lisa ? steve : dr. trydal . we obviously have a bad working situation brewing here , and i intend to do everything i can to head it off . robin : i appreciate that . i 'm just so sorry and ashamed that my personal problems have to be your concern . steve : i 'm not gon na lie , it 's unfortunate . but you know what , it 's not your doing . you 're the wronged party here . robin : well , i have to give credit where it 's due . for such a total nutcase , dr. niles presents well . steve : as a friend , i have nothing but empathy . but as chief of staff , i ca n't let a personal situation compromise patient care . robin : i understand . i will try to keep my distance and my temper . i have a meeting . i 'll get those labs to you as soon as i have them . steve : thanks . [ scene_break ] jax : i mean that , carly . you 've become the standard bearer for me . no woman past , present or future will ever be you . carly : or brenda ? jax : [ chuckles ] unbelievable . i just paid you the biggest compliment a man can give a woman , and you 're still obsessing about brenda . why do you do that ? carly : she was n't nothing to you . jason : it was a lifetime ago , okay ? carly : i guess we 'll see . [ sighs ] jax : well , i suggest that the best thing we can do is just be honest with each other . carly : i will if you will . jax : okay . 'cause , you know , it 's not just us anymore . we have kids to deal with as well . carly : i know . jax : which reminds me , did michael talk to you about school ? carly : no , why ? jax : he does n't want to go back to madison . he feels with everything that 's happened to him , he does n't really fit in , and i do n't disagree . but ultimately , of course , it 's your decision . i 'll back you with whatever choice you make . carly : thanks . jax : yeah . carly : thank you for being there for him . jax : it has n't been easy . carly : i know that . they 're gon na need you now , more than ever . [ scene_break ] kristina : i ca n't believe i ever thought this place was cool . ali : that 's because you 've always had access . i , on the other hand , only get to be here through you . i think it 's awesome . kristina : whatever . ali : still bummed ? kristina : um , a lot 's happened since last summer . ali : none of it was your fault . kristina : i do n't think the judgmental snobs at madison will agree . ali : so ? transfer over to plain old port charles high with the evolved ones . like moi . that 's what i 'm talking about . kristina : my brother ? ali : hotness ! michael : hey . ali : hey , michael . i hope you 're here to join us . michael : actually i just need to talk to my sister for a few minutes . ali : i was going to take a swim anyway . come in when you get done ? kristina : everything okay ? michael : yeah , yeah , no . i 'm just a little preoccupied . i went to see johnny at the hospital today . i thought i could convince him to tell the truth about how dad `` shot him . `` but , you know , it does n't matter . you wanted to see me , what 's up ? kristina : i need you talk me out of something . michael : okay , what is it ? kristina : right now all i can think about is begging mom to let me transfer to p.c . high . where no one knows me and i can hide from my problems instead of facing them . i mean , what 's the point ? as soon as i solve one disaster , dad throws in another one . he really outdid himself this time . not only does he shoot yet another unarmed man , he jumps bail and disappears . so what 's your take ? will dad ever come back , or are we just never going to see him again ? [ scene_break ] sonny : when i was with brenda , my life was in a totally different place . woman : change is the only constant . sonny : i 'd love to tell you that i changed . but i 'm not sure about that . but circumstances in my life have , a lot . back then , you know , i was working up the ladder in business and i was trying to establish myself . and i met this kid ... his name was stone . he lived on the street . something about him touched me , you know . and i took him in , brought him home , dusted him off . and i tried to give him a fighting chance in life . woman : he disappointed you ? sonny : no , he died of aids . and at that time , you know , they did n't have such a thing as drug protocol . if you had aids , you 'd just die . and brenda tried to do everything she could , but at that time , there 's not much you can do . woman : did the boy 's death bring you and brenda closer ? sonny : i do n't know . there was other circumstances that got in the way . like i said , i was trying to establish myself and i was acquiring a lot of power . but i ran into complications , dangerous ones , and i had to make compromises . and i had to marry another woman to get rid of the complications . woman : [ laughs ] and did they ? sonny : for a minute . and then , the other one 's the problem . woman : oh , they usually do . your marriage ended things with brenda , yes ? from how you describe her , i can not imagine brenda in the role of mistress . sonny : no , she did n't like it , but you know what , she would have done it . she told me herself , but i did n't want her to . she begged me and i refused . and i turned her away . woman : why ? sonny : because i thought that she deserved better , and that she should go out on her own , you know , and figure things out . away from me . woman : i 'm impressed by your nobility . not many men would deny themselves the woman they loved . and it 's clear you love brenda with every breath you took . perhaps you still do , hmm ? [ scene_break ] brenda : you know , i think it 's really interesting and crazy that suzanne is putting my personal whereabouts out into the world without letting me know . but that 's actually besides the point . i truly do n't need you to come running to rescue me from anything . as if i am some kitten who is stuck in a tree . murphy : well , first of all , i did n't come running . i made a little stop to have an argument with my director . he did n't want me to leave , but i insisted . brenda : what are you talking about , you walked off set ? murphy : why is it so hard for you to believe that i care for you ? brenda : i do n't need you to take care of me . murphy : yeah , well , when you wo n't acknowledge a fact that something 's wrong , maybe you do . someone almost slashed your face ! brenda : i know . murphy : you 've been warned by the interpol , for god sakes , that your life is in danger ! okay ? but yet you continue to skip merrily along buying fruit . brenda : skip merrily along ? you know what , you 're actually starting to make me angry right now . so let 's just stop -- murphy : well , then be angry with me in england where i have my security guys with me . brenda : let 's not have this conversation , okay ? because there is one thing i need you to never do to me . do n't ever treat me like i am some girl who sits around and gets a mani - pedi every day ! i have a real purpose in my life . and it certainly is n't to sit around and wait for some man to take care of me ! murphy : why are you saying this to me ? why me ? i 'm not that guy you 're supposed to be angry at . i 'm this guy who loves you now . and i want to keep you alive so that you can make good on your promise and marry me . i will take whatever flack you got for me for anything that i have done . but i am not going to take responsibility for all the guys who came before me . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm busy . dante : so am i . where 's sonny ? jason : i do n't know . dante : what did he tell you about shooting johnny ? jason : nothing . dante : come on , jason . sonny tells you everything . he tells you the actual truth . not the load of crap he serves up for the rest of us . jason : i have n't spoken to sonny . there has n't been time . and when he decided to jump bail , i was getting ambushed by santos lopez and his men . but i 'll tell you what i do know . sonny 's not stupid . he 's not going to walk up to johnny on a public street and open fire . dante : okay . then prove it . [ scene_break ] lulu : well , this is a nice surprise . lucky : yeah , it 's always good to see my baby sister . i was actually hoping to catch dante . lulu : he 's actually out investigating johnny 's shooting and sonny 's bail jump . but you 're stuck with me , if that 's good enough . lulu : yeah . yeah , that 's good enough . i just , i do n't know if you 're going to like hearing what i have to say . lulu : really ? lucky : yeah . lulu : well , then i think that 's all the more reason to sit down and tell me . lucky : okay , well , i went to question johnny . and i got about what i expected . you know , the party line . says he was unarmed and that sonny shot him in cold blood . lulu : and you do n't believe him ? lucky : well , there 's a big piece missing out of that day , and if i could find that piece , we might know what actually happened . but ... lulu : okay . so , what 's unexpected ? lucky : well , when i was talking to johnny , he , uh , he suggested that i quit the force and start working for him . lulu : [ laughs ] what ? lucky : yeah , i know , it 's ridiculous . but the strange thing was , there was a small part of me that almost wanted to say yes . lulu : i know that you 're restless , but considering working for johnny is -- lucky : i 'm not considering it . i just ... lulu : well , i just do n't think that you would be talking about it if you were n't thinking seriously about it . what is this ? does this have to do with elizabeth 's situation ? lucky : i 'm restless , okay ? just like you said . and i do n't know if it has anything to do with elizabeth . maybe it does . i mean , she took the boys to northern california to see sarah . and when cam and jake are n't around , i do n't have to be responsible . so yeah , maybe that 's messing with my head a little bit . but this whole cop thing is just not working for me right now . lulu : you never were one to follow rules . lucky : yeah , and the bad guys , speaking of rules ? all their fancy lawyers , they just get to dance around them anyway . and the good guys , we get stuck coloring inside the lines , and it just -- it 's frustrating . i keep hearing dad in my head , over and over again . just asking what the hell were you thinking . lulu : i did n't know you were this disillusioned . i think the question is , exactly how disillusioned ? lucky : i 'm not going to go join a criminal organization , okay . but if i 'm being honest , i 'm a little envious of johnny and sonny sometimes . lulu : what ? i think that you 're better than both of them . lucky : i 'm not envious of the darkness they have to live in day in and day out . but there 's just , you know , there 's a certain , i do n't know , rhythm and creativity to being an outlaw . and i used to be a version of that . you know , dad and i used to run our scams and do our thing . it was a rush . and now , i do n't know . it was just , you know , we would only stick it to marks that deserved it . it was like justice was being served but in a way i ca n't accomplish anymore . it was like poetic justice or something . [ sighs ] lulu : so what are you going to do ? lucky : i do n't know . i 'm probably just venting . but if i figure something out , i will let you know . [ scene_break ] michael : are you serious about port charles high , then ? kristina : wishful thinking . mom would never let me transfer . and i would never leave you at madison without me . michael : i would n't stay on my account . look , kristina , i 'm actually thinking about dropping out . kristina : are you serious ? why ? michael : it 's just not a good fit for me . it never was . i mean , too much stuff happened to me that changed me . kristina : it 's just one more year . michael : yeah , it stretches on like an eternity . kristina : it 'll go by really fast ! please , michael . you ca n't leave me at madison by myself . it 'll suck , but we 'll help each other get through it . please ? ali : we 're having a water fight . michael : i 'm sorry , but no , i ca n't do that . ali : come on , it 'll be fun . [ scene_break ] jason : why is it suddenly on me to prove sonny 's guilt or innocence ? dante : everything i 've got tells me that sonny 's lying . look , i have to operate under certain constraints , but you have no limits , okay , and you 've got spinelli . get him on this case . find the gun , find a witness . give me something i can use to exonerate sonny . carly : i ca n't tell you how crazy it makes me knowing sonny is off -- dante : sonny 's off with who ? [ scene_break ] sonny : brenda and i have been over for years , 2 separate lives . i 've had other women . i got 4 beautiful children . woman : and yet you still think of brenda . sonny : i 'm kinda in a crisis right now . woman : mm - him . so your thoughts turn to the road not taken . sonny : i just -- woman : where you 'd be if you had made another choice . sonny : i just want to see brenda . i just want to see her . look , no words . she does n't have to even know i 'm there . woman : to what end ? sonny : ah , well , i know she smiles for a living , but i know her . i know her heart . if i could just see her , i 'll know if she 's all right , if she 's happy . woman : brenda 's happiness means a great deal to you . in my book , that is amore . [ chuckles ] oh , i 've enjoyed spending time with you , but i must go . my son will worry . sonny : can i take you somewhere ? woman : no , i have a car around the corner . sonny : i 'll take care of it . woman : thank you , you are very kind . sonny : i have someone to drive you safely . woman : no , you are very kind . sonny : okay . woman : signore , let me leave you with this to consider . true love is a rarity in this world . to have it , lose it and then come face to face with it again , it would be a crime to let it slip away without one word of protest . [ scene_break ] murphy : the threat is real , brenda . brenda : so they should bring it on already , then . murphy : you did not just say that . brenda : yes , i did . there 's a threat , there 's a threat . who cares ? there 's a threat everywhere . we could leave the house and get hit by a bus . i could fall off a pair of my high heels and get hit in the head . i mean , who cares ? is this any reason for us never to go out again ? murphy : okay , you 're being petulant and self absorbed . how much help are you going to be to the exploited children if you 're dead because you made it too easy for a goon to kill you , 'cause you just are hanging out there . brenda : i guess i could probably care less about the children or any of that , because i 'm so self absorbed , right ? i 'm self absorbed ? i 'm self absorbed ? ! i mean , really , what is it that you really think of me ? why do n't you just say it . that i 'm some kind of princess ? is that what you 're really saying ? that i 'm some kind of princess ? murphy : i do n't think ... brenda : i actually operate in the real world , murphy sinclair ! i do n't get say `` cut `` and get another take . this is me . this is me . here i am , murphy . this is the real me . if you do n't like me exactly the way i am , then there 's the door and you should just go ahead and use it . murphy : well , thanks . brenda : you 're welcome . murphy : yeah , i think i 'm going to use the door . brenda : good ! murphy : thank you . brenda : good choice !

[ scene_break ] sonny : thank you for your wisdom . woman : i hope you take my advice under consideration . you might be happy if you do . buona fortuna . take care . sonny : you , too . woman : i 'm sinking , i 'm sinking back , in your eyes , the memory 's dead , waking up this heart of mine , this crazy love , it 's you and i , can you see , this was meant to be brenda : hi . woman : so far from where we 've been , we 'll carry on brenda : excuse me ! woman : the ties that never end brenda : i 'm sorry ! woman : will bring us home again woman : the distance , so far and wide sonny : i do n't mean to be rude , but that 's my magazine . man : i 'm sorry . woman : i long for you by my side , waking up this heart of mine , this crazy love , it 's you and i , can you see ?

carly : yeah , that 's right . franco and i are gon na make things work , so i want to put what happened between us behind me . sonny : which thing ? carly : what do you mean , which thing ? sonny : when we kissed at the hospital ? carly : you know what i 'm talking about . sonny : 'cause we also made love on your bed , and it was really nice . carly : can you stop ? because you know what i mean , sonny . sonny : and we also had so much fun here at the office . carly : okay , all of it . do you hear me ? i want to put all of it behind me , okay ? i do . and i 'm hoping that you can do the same . i am . sonny : mm - hmm . carly : sonny ? sonny : hmm ? carly : come on . if you ever loved me , if you love me now ... sonny : mm - hmm ? carly : ... you will not breathe a word of this . franco can not know that we slept together . promise me , sonny , that this stays between the two of us . ava : if i do n't get that recording , there will be serious and far - reaching consequences , and not just for me , franco -- for kiki , as well . franco : okay , look -- i 'm gon na stop you , okay ? kiki is not my daughter , but she is my friend , and i do n't want you dragging her in to your little drama . ava : i 'm serious . this affects her , too . franco : yeah , i 'm serious , too . you 're not gon na guilt me into doing whatever it is you want me to do , and you 're not gon na score any points with kiki , either , so why do n't you quit while you 're ahead -- or , more specifically , before you fall further behind ? ava : ohh ! oh , i 'm -- pardon me . i did n't see you there . i 'm very sorry . sabrina : you should be . nina : so , britt told me that she had a gap in her schedule . silas : uh - huh . nina : she offered to give me an exam so she could determine what our chances are . silas : how 'd that go ? nina : well , um ... it was great . she said there 's no reason whatsoever that we ca n't have a child . is n't that amazing ? and -- and britt -- britt said that it 's not too late . it 's not too late . we could have another baby to replace the one we lost . silas : that 's great news . nina : y - you do n't seem that excited . silas : i 'm just surprised that dr. westbourne was able to get back to you so quickly . nina : she 's a wonder . silas : as many have described her . nina : i 'll bet , yeah . you know , silas , listen -- when i found out that my mom was responsible for putting me in the coma , it made me question the whole concept of family , obviously . can they be trusted ? are they worth it ? except for j , of course . silas : yeah , well , he 's a good guy . nina : he is , but he 's not the only one now . i know that someone who claims to love me is n't out to hurt me . and i feel really lucky that i found this new family . dr. obrecht : britta . britt : mother . dr. obrecht : what a pleasant surprise . i did n't realize you would be here . britt : i did n't expect to see you at the police station again . what are you doing here ? dr. obrecht : i had an opening in my schedule , so i thought i 'd get out of the hospital and see if nathan wanted to have lunch . britt : lunch ? dr. obrecht : you are , of course , welcome to join us . britt : i hate to break it to you , but i do n't think lunch is going to happen . dr. obrecht : nathan did give me a ride home from the nurses ' ball . would lunch with his mother be far behind ? britt : mother , nathan 's not here . he 's off trying to rescue maxie and lulu . maxie : dante , where is nathan ? ! dante : nathan ? nathan ? he went around back to try to come in another entrance to ambush him , but i could n't wait for nathan to make a move . lulu : what the hell is that ? ! dante ! [ all coughing ] all clear ! nathan : who the hell is that ? nina : okay , well , i have to go to physical therapy . i promised travis that i would show up after i was done with my appointment with britt , so i 'll keep you up on the progress . if it 's anything like my consultation with britt , it should be very good news . silas : i 'm glad everything 's going so well . nina : i feel like i 'm finally getting everything back that i was missing . i 'm living with my husband in our home together , and we 're going to have a child soon . silas : we have n't decided that yet . having a child is a big decision , and we need to talk about it some more . nina : of course . i mean , this is something that we absolutely have to plan together , for sure . to be honest , i 'm excited about the possibility . yeah . see you later . oh . i almost forgot to tell you -- i ran in to ava jerome . silas : that must have been awkward . nina : yeah , it was awkward . but if ava and i are going to reside here in port charles , we have to find a way to coexist , do n't we ? ava : i said i was sorry for bumping in to you . i should have been paying more attention . it was just an accident . sabrina : right -- just an accident . ava : okay . okay . what is your problem ? clearly , you have one , and , apparently , it 's with me . so , spit it out . oh , come on . i can take it . do you have a problem with me ? sabrina : yeah . as a matter of fact , i do . franco : ava jerome , you do not know what the hell you 're talking about . carly and i are just fine . i 'll show you . ava , you can just go straight to hell . sonny : so , what you 're saying is you spend one night with this guy , right ? carly : it 's more than that , and you know it . sonny : and now it 's over between us ? carly : there 's nothing to be over . there 's no us , okay ? sonny : you could have fooled me . carly : stop . this is my decision i get to make , and i am deciding to be with franco , and what happened between us ... sonny : well , now you 're admitting -- at least you 're admitting that something happened between us . carly : it was a mistake , okay , and i ca n't change it . but i can make sure it does n't happen again . sonny : even if you really want it bad ? carly : i can make sure that no one finds out about it . please , sonny . promise me -- look at me . promise me that we take this to our grave . kiki : ohh ! ohh ! dr. obrecht : what are you talking about , britta ? why would ben 's egg donor and nathan 's vacuous roommate require rescuing ? britt : how have you not heard about this ? dr. obrecht : i 'm an industrious person . i have no time for local gossip . britt : maxie and lulu were kidnapped . it turns out that her fiancé is some kind of con artist and a thief . it 's all over the news . dr. obrecht : i do recall something about someone absconding with two blondinen . i had no idea nathan was involved . britt : yeah , he 's been involved ever since it happened . he and dante got some lead on the would - be groom 's whereabouts . dr. obrecht : ah , yes . i had the misfortune to meet him at the nurses ' ball . he had an absurd name . britt : levi dunkleman ? dr. obrecht : an alias , no doubt -- as phony as that so - called australian accent he sports . britt : oh , he 's australian . i mean , at least i think he is . does it matter at this point ? dr. obrecht : britta , britta , if that miscreant is australian , then i 'm canadian . britt : okay . anyway , nathan and dante went to track him down , and now there 's some kind of standoff . dr. obrecht : that sounds dangerous . what has that horrible anna devane gotten my son into this time ? gunman : they 're alive . gunman : all clear , sir . the gas has dissipated . feel free to remove the mask . victor : thank you . i must say ... a job well done . bodyguard : is everything okay here , ms. jerome ? ava : fine . thank you . i do n't know how you could possibly have a problem with me , considering we do n't even know one another . sabrina : oh , but you do know me , ms . jerome . i 'm sabrina santiago . ava : oh , of course . sabrina . you 're carlos ' friend . sabrina : yes , carlos -- the one who 's rotting in a cell in pentonville because of you . ava : oh , i think you 're a little confused . carlos is in prison because he confessed to the murder of aj quartermaine . i had nothing to do with that . sabrina : is that a fact ? carly : kiki ? kiki : hi . [ chuckles ] hi , ms. jacks , mr. corinthos . um ... yeah , your vase . i came -- michael told me that he was gon na be here , so i came to meet him . sonny : you just missed him . him and morgan went down to the station to get an update on their sister - in - law . kiki : they did ? okay , great . yeah . i 'll go meet them there . thanks . carly : kiki ... you heard what sonny and i were talking about , did n't you ? nina : hey , you ! franco : hey . and , uh , i 'll talk to you later . i was -- hi ... nina : hi . franco : ... leaving a message for carly . nina : oh , great . how are things going between you two ? franco : really good . thank you . yeah , she came by today , and she brought , like , this picnic lunch . it was really nice . nina : oh , that is nice . there 's that saying that the way to a man 's heart is through his stomach . franco : that 's not entirely true , but i know what you 're saying . and carly definitely knows the way to my heart . nina : oh , that 's sweet . i 'm glad to hear that things are back on track between the two of you . franco : and how about silas ? any progress there ? nina : i 'm happy to report that silas and i are back on track , too . franco : things are good ? nina : they 're so great ! silas and i are back where we belong -- in bed . [ laughs ] [ knock on door ] silas : dr. drake . what brings you here ? patrick : i just stopped by h.r . to check the status of my appeal . silas : how 's that going ? patrick : under review . silas : for what it 's worth , i strongly urged obrecht to hire you back . patrick : i appreciate that . silas : something tells me this is n't a social call . what can i do for you ? please . patrick : i was hoping i could talk to you about your nephew ... rafe . silas : i 'm not sure how much help i can be , but what do you want to know ? patrick : well , i 'm trying to find out who put him up to causing the crash . sam told me that you two went through his belongings but you did n't find anything . silas : actually ... i 'm not sure that 's true . victor : make sure he does n't bleed to death . ah , mr. harrell , i just had such high hopes for you , and now you 've gotten yourself shot . i thought i 'd trained you better than that . gunman : we 've recovered the aztec earrings , the ring , and the necklace . it 's all here , sir . victor : well , mr. harrell , it was n't a total loss after all . at least you procured the jewels , not to mention those two lovely ladies . ah , ms. jones . and detective falconeri -- such a diligent man . so sorry that the reunion with your wife was so short - lived . it was a great effort . but you and your cavalry , in the end , failed . hmm . speaking of cavalry ... someone is missing . hello , detective west ! come out , come out , wherever you are ! dr. obrecht : that 's it . i will not let that ersatz mata hari put my son in harm 's way . i intend to give frau commissioner a piece of my mind . britt : mother , no . you need to stop . take a breath and just chill out . dr. obrecht : i always breathe , i never chill out , and i am , as you well know , unstoppable . britt : mother , i 'm serious . i do n't want you getting involved . anna has nikolas and dante 's brother in her office . she 's updating them on the situation . you do not need to insert yourself and mess everything up . dr. obrecht : yes . i 'm not going to let anna devane turn my son into cannon fodder . britt : nathan is an experienced detective . taking on dangerous situations is a part of his job . dr. obrecht : he was trained in america . one can not rely on any law - enforcement enterprise that asks questions of suspects before shooting them . britt : the commissioner considers nathan a valuable officer . she wo n't let anything happen to him . dr. obrecht : oh , really ? you know it ? why ? because anna 's always done right by us ? you need to face the facts , britta . anna does n't care a whit for our family . and she is going to kill nathan the same way she killed your father . nina : we 're doing it . franco : yeah , that 's what i gathered when you said that you were -- nina : we 're making up for lost time -- last night and this morning . not 20 years ' worth , but ... franco : well , you know , a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one -- well , in your case , two steps , and , uh ... i 'm just happy somebody could finally bring out the sunny side of cranky clay . nina : that 's not okay . that 's my husband . franco : uh ... nina : he is cranky , is n't he ? [ laughs ] franco : yeah . nina : he 's always been like that -- cranky . franco : well , he was certainly like that when i had my little run - in with him today . nina : you had a run - in ? about what ? franco : well , silas does n't like me very much . nina : oh . why would he have an issue with you ? franco : pretty much everyone in the world has an issue with me -- at least one . but with silas , the source of his bitterness is actually you . kiki : i heard the two of you talking , but i have no idea what you were talking about . i mean , i -- honestly , i 've just been in my own world all day today , so that 's why i almost -- geez -- i almost broke your vase . carly : that all is great , except for one thing . sonny : carly , why do n't you just let the girl go ? she -- you know , she 's looking for michael . she does n't have time to chat with us . it was good to see you , kiki . kiki : yeah , good to see you , too . carly : kiki , see , if i had a nickel for every time i got caught snooping , i could buy olivia 's half of the hotel from her . so i know exactly what it looks like when someone knocks something over by accident trying to sneak away . kiki : i was n't snooping . carly : of course not -- not on purpose . i think you and i need to have a chat , girl to girl . you heard everything i said , did n't you ? kiki : not everything -- just that you slept with mr. corinthos . carly : and no one can know about that , kiki , especially franco . nina : what did i do ? franco : well , you played hooky . you did n't go to your much needed physical therapy . nina : ohh . really ? franco : really . nina : is he still going on about that ? franco : i , uh -- nina : god , he 's such a pain in the ass about -- oh . he 's a pain in the ass . he 's making the whole deception thing way less fun . what did you say ? franco : not much , you know -- some jesting , a friendly rib or two . nina : i need you to be specific . franco : well , i did n't think it would bother him , but silas actually got miffed because i told him that you and i had confided in one another . nina : well , when you confide in somebody , you have to keep that confidential . that 's the whole point . franco : uh - huh . nina : so , what does silas know that you know ? franco : that you want to have a baby . nina : he had a problem with that ? franco : no , not the baby part . he just -- he had a problem with the `` you sharing your personal life with me `` part . nina : yeah , maybe . franco : uh , it does n't matter , 'cause soon it 'll all be out in the open . nina : what do you mean ? franco : well , i just mean that , from what you 're telling me , that , well , you 're really close to getting what it is that you want . nina : i went to the ob / gyn today . franco : oh , great . how 'd that go for you ? ava : what gave you the impression that i had anything to do with aj 's murder or why carlos is in prison , which , come to think of it , are really the same exact thing ? sabrina : carlos would n't be in prison if he had n't been trying to get away from you and your brother . ava : well , all he had to do to get away from julian was quit . either of us would have given him a glowing reference , i 'm sure . sabrina : carlos broke in to the quartermaines to steal something so that he could get enough money to get away from the jerome crime family . ava : is that what he told you ? sabrina : yeah , he told me some . the rest i figured out . ava : well , then , i owe you another apology . i am sorry that carlos felt that he had no other way out . before all of this happened , he and i -- we were quite good friends . and it pains me to think he was so desperate to get away from my brother that he committed a crime . but carlos is also an adult , and as such , he is responsible for his actions . we all make choices , sabrina , and with every choice , our actions have consequences . sabrina : you do n't have to tell me that , ms . jerome . i know that better than anyone . because of someone else 's choices , i suffered the consequences . i lost my baby . patrick : i 'm not sure i follow . sam told me that you two went through rafe 's phone and did n't find anything pertinent except for a phone call that could n't be traced . silas : that 's true . after sam left , i found something else . patrick : what is it ? silas : it 's probably nothing , but when i was putting away some of rafe 's things , i came across something that seemed out of place . patrick : well , i do n't care what it is . i mean , anything could be important at this point . silas : have a look at this . britt : what are you talking about ? dr. obrecht : which part was unclear ? anna devane murdered your father . britt : i realize you will take any excuse to accuse commissioner devane , but that does n't even make sense . after he was captured , he was shipped off to steinmauer . dr. obrecht : that 's what anna devane would have everyone believe , but it 's fleischwurst . i have contacted steinmauer time and time again , each attempt more futile than the last . britt : well , maybe they do n't want to talk to you because you 're his co- conspirator . dr. obrecht : cesar has rights . so do i . britt : and it 's steinmauer 's right not to grant access to someone who successfully staged a jailbreak there . dr. obrecht : my dear britta . so trusting , so naive . some people might find it charming . i am not among those people . while the staff at steinmauer may wish to keep me from cesar , they have no say in the matter . britt : they might disagree . dr. obrecht : they ca n't , because i know for a fact that cesar is not there . britt : and how could you possibly know that ? dr. obrecht : because victor cassadine told me . victor : detective west , you 're only prolonging the inevitable ! cowardice may have been the key for your escape , but courage is why you are still here and why we will find you , so you might as well show yourself . i know you 're thinking if you could make a break for it -- and even if you ca n't escape , maybe you 'll make a call for backup . and i assure you , my dear friend , please do not do that . or maybe you would rather me shoot one of my guests . and if you think i 'm bluffing , detective , let me assure you i am not . and just to prove my point ... how 'bout i start with ms . jones ? nathan : do n't even think about touching her . kiki : i care about franco . carly : so do i . kiki : and i know how much he loves you . carly : i love him , too , okay ? i do . that 's why i 'm asking you not to tell him what you heard , because what happened between me and sonny -- it 's completely over . kiki : it seems like mr. corinthos has a different idea . carly : well , mr. corinthos does n't get a vote . kiki , it was a mistake -- a huge lapse in judgment -- that 's never going to happen again . but if franco finds out , it 's gon na end everything between us . promise me you wo n't tell franco . kiki : i 'm sorry . i do n't know if i can make that promise . franco : so , you went to see the doctor ? is everything okay ? britt : the tests indicate that you 're already in menopause . you ca n't conceive a child . nina : um , actually , i saw the ob / gyn , and it was n't the news i was hoping for . franco : um , i 'm not sure what that means . are you telling me you ca n't have a kid ? nina : no . i 'm not telling you that . i can have a kid . it 's just gon na be a little more difficult than i thought . sabrina : my son 's name was gabriel -- gabriel drake santiago . he was born four months early on the side of the road . he never had a chance . ava : i 'm sorry to hear about that . i read about your accident . sabrina : it was n't an accident . sabrina : rafe may have been behind the wheel , but he was n't the one responsible for what happened . ava : i do n't know what you mean . sabrina : turns out someone else put him up to it . patrick : so , you found this in rafe 's things ? silas : mm . it 's from the clinic where nina spent most of her past 20 years . patrick : yeah , i 'm aware of crichton - clark . silas : you are ? patrick : well , sam told me about the place . silas : really ? patrick : really . silas : initially , i thought it must just belong to nina and somehow got mixed up with rafe 's things . patrick : and what did she say ? silas : when i asked her , she said she never remembered seeing the card . she thought that maybe it had been attached to her medical records that her nurse was keeping track of , but i have n't had a chance to follow up with rosalie yet . patrick : right , medical records -- i guess that 's possible . silas : but you think there 's another explanation . britt : victor cassadine , nikolas ' uncle -- the guy who came into town a few months ago shelling out antique hairbrushes and fabergè eggs ? dr. obrecht : while i was not the recipient of said trinkets , victor did give me something of even greater value . britt : and what do you consider valuable , mother ? dr. obrecht : victor procured a confidential file for me which spells out quite clearly that cesar was never returned to steinmauer . britt : and where exactly did `` uncle victor `` get his hands on classified information , and why would he give it to you ? what exactly is your relationship with this guy ? victor : thank you for joining us . you may want to lower your weapon . if you look around , you can see that you 're outnumbered . nathan : all i need is one shot . victor : and you wo n't get it . my people are highly trained marksmen . shall i demonstrate ? nathan : be my guest . victor : [ laughs ] i just love your bravado ! now , please , drop your weapon . if i have to ask you one more time and you do n't comply -- nathan : what ? what , your people will kill me ? victor : no , they 're gon na shoot ms . jones . wo n't it be something -- unfortunate , after all of this -- that you are the reason she dies ? i would n't force their hand if i were you . now kick it away . nathan : maxie . maxie , can you hear me ? what did you do to her ? victor : oh , relax , detective west . your friends -- they 're just unconscious . and when they awaken , they shall feel like they 're at rest , they 're refreshed . i 'm sorry i 'm not gon na be able to say the same for you . you wo n't be so lucky . nathan : do i at least get to know who you are before you kill me ? victor : [ chuckles ] forgive my rudeness . i should have introduced myself . my name is victor cassadine . nathan : as in nikolas cassadine ? victor : my nephew . he 's also known as the white sheep of the family . you do n't look like someone who would travel in my nephew 's circle . so , tell me -- how do you know my nephew nikolas ? nathan : one of my sisters was his fiancée . victor : your sister was engaged to my nephew ? nathan : yeah . dr. britt westbourne . victor : are you saying that , uh , liesl obrecht is your mother ? britt : when victor first showed up at wyndemere , it seemed like he only knew you by reputation . now he 's suddenly handing you classified documents ? dr. obrecht : herr cassadine knew of my relationship with cesar . he simply wanted to help . britt : yeah , because those old - school cassadines are such givers . no . i definitely got a history vibe going on between you and dear uncle victor . so , there 's more going on here than you 're admitting . dr. obrecht : nothing worthy of such suspicion . victor 's merely an old acquaintance of mine . britt : except the day that he showed up at wyndemere , you were demanding to move in . i mean , you were willing to blackmail me into letting you stay there . and then victor arrives , and all of a sudden , you have a change of heart , which is something that never happens . dr. obrecht : you exaggerate . britt : victor was very eager to talk to you , but you could n't get out of there fast enough . why ? why were you avoiding him ? and then why would he turn around and hand you classified documents ? dr. obrecht : all right . if you must know ... victor carries a bit of a torch for me . britt : why ? what happened between you and victor cassadine ? victor : now answer my question . is liesl obrecht your mother ? nathan : why is n't maxie waking up ? victor : because she 's sedated ! it 's not that complicated ! just answer my question ! nathan : i do n't care about your questions ! i care about my friends ! victor : well , if only you were the one in charge , but you 're not ! i am ! now answer me . nathan : yes , okay ? yes . liesl obrecht is my mother . victor : but to my knowledge , liesl obrecht only had one child -- a daughter , britta . nathan : i was raised by her sister , magda westbourne , also known as madeline west . i was given to her right after i was born . victor : but that does n't make sense ! all liesl wanted to do was to give faison a son . if she hid you from faison .. who is your father ? dr. obrecht : victor 's feelings for me made him inclined to offer his assistance in the matter of your father 's disappearance . britt : and how strong were those feelings ? were you involved with victor ? did you sleep with him ? dr. obrecht : i am not about to answer that . britt : okay , stop dodging . is victor nathan 's father ? patrick : i 'm sure you 're right . i 'm sure this card has more to do with nina than it does rafe . silas : yeah , probably . patrick : can you do me a favor , silas ? silas : hmm ? patrick : can you let me know when you talk to rosalie ? silas : will do . patrick : thanks . silas : good luck . [ door closes ] franco : nina , you strike me as a very determined woman . i 'm sure you 're accustomed to getting what it is that you want , and if you want a kid , then i 'm sure , come hell or high water , you 'll get yourself a kid . nina : you 're right . you 're right . franco : yeah . nina : when i came to town , i wanted to be with my husband . not only am i living with him in his home , but we are sharing the same bed . franco : you keep mentioning that . nina : and if it keeps on going like this , i 'm gon na get back everything i lost , and that includes a baby . franco : are you sure that 's what you really want ? nina : yeah . why are you asking me that ? franco : because i feel like you have some mixed feelings about your husband . nina : i love silas . franco : i know that . but i also feel like you have some resentment towards him for all of the years that he lived his life without you . and if you have a kid with a guy , then you 're tethered to him . do you really want to be tied to that guy for the rest of your life ? nina : i have my feelings . i feel this way . my feelings are -- are valid . they may be complex and confusing to you , but they 're my feelings . franco : nina , listen -- i 'm just trying to help you out . nina : i know what i 'm doing . franco : okay . nina : okay . franco : i 'm just trying to be your friend . nina : okay , good . good . you 're my friend . you 're my friend . thank you for being my friend . i got it . stay out of my business , please . carly : what do you mean , you do n't think you can make that promise ? you either can or you ca n't . kiki : i care about franco . how am i supposed to lie to him ? carly : i 'm not asking you to lie to him . i 'm not . i 'm asking you not to volunteer the truth . kiki : how am i going to look him in the face , knowing what i know , knowing that i 'm keeping this huge secret from him ? carly : wait , wait . but no . wait ! know that you are saving franco from a lot of useless , unnecessary pain . come on . you know franco . you know how crazy jealous he gets when there 's nothing going on . the last thing any of us need is for franco to be jealous for a good reason . kiki : and you make a great point , but i still do n't think i can lie to him . carly : okay . you want to be honest with your friend . i get that . i admire that . but , kiki , i mean , sometimes simply it 's just better to -- better to lie . kiki : like when ? carly : well , like when you have a girlfriend , you know , and she 's wearing a hideous outfit but she thinks she looks great and you want to tell her to burn the outfit , but you do n't . you tell her , `` looks great `` 'cause you do n't want to hurt her feelings . this is just like that . kiki : it really is n't . carly : okay . all right . kiki , it 's not , okay ? it is n't , because if you tell your friend that her outfit looks terrible , it 's just gon na hurt her feelings . but if you tell franco what happened between me and sonny , it 's gon na devastate him for no reason at all . kiki : you are putting this on me . you 're the one who hurt him . carly : i did n't want to . if you do n't tell franco , he does n't get hurt . but if you do tell him , he does , and over what , kiki -- a mistake ? please do not wreck my relationship with franco . please promise me that you will not tell anyone that i slept with sonny . kiki . kiki : i 'm sorry . i have to go . carly : kiki . [ sighs ] sonny : what happened ? ava : someone forced that boy to run in to you and dr. drake and his daughter ? i had n't read about that . sabrina : it has n't been in the news . ava : well , how did you find out ? sabrina : before he died , rafe confessed that someone put him up to causing the accident . ava : did he say who ? sabrina : he was about to . but he crashed before he could say the name . ava : i assume that the police are looking in to it ? sabrina : yes , they are , and patrick 's hired a private investigator . ava : i see . well , i think that 's wonderful that you 're using all the resources afforded to you . sabrina : yes , we 're quite resourceful . in fact , i 'm sure it wo n't be long before we figure out who was responsible . and i intend to make sure that person pays ... dearly . ava : i understand how upset you must feel . i 'm truly sorry for your loss . sabrina ... i truly hope you find whoever did this . sabrina : oh , do n't worry . i will . patrick : hey . sabrina : patrick . what are you doing here ? is something wrong ? patrick : i think i might know who ran us off the road . victor : detective , i 'm running out of patience . who is your father ? nathan : i do n't know , and i do n't care . dr. obrecht : you think that victor is nathan 's father ? where would you get such a ludicrous idea ? britt : you 've never said who nathan 's father is . and i know it ca n't be my father . victor : is faison your father ? nathan : i told you i do n't know . but i have no reason to think that cesar faison is my father . victor : but how can you be so sure ? nathan : because my sister does n't seem to think it makes any sense . britt : your life 's ambition was to give my father a son , so if nathan was his , you would have broken in to prison to give my brother to faison . dr. obrecht : that still does n't mean victor is nathan 's father . britt : true , but it does narrow the field . victor : and what about your mother ? did you ever ask liesl about your father ? britt : victor 's the only other man in your life that i 've ever heard about . nathan : i asked her . victor : and what did she say ? britt : so , is nathan a cassadine ? nathan : all she would say is that my father is long gone . britt : mother , is nathan -- is my brother a cassadine ? dr. obrecht : enough of your crazy theories . did n't i teach you not to stick your nose into things that do n't concern you ? nathan : look , i do n't know and i do n't care who my father is . and now that we 've established that , if you 're gon na kill me , get on with it . victor : i 'm afraid , detective , you 'll have to be a little patient . for the moment ... that plan is on hold . silas : hey . how was therapy ? nina : it got cut short . franco : oh . look who has no messages . carly : kiki heard everything . what the hell am i gon na do ? sonny : first of all , you 've got to calm down . carly : no , i 'm not gon na calm down . i have to figure out a way to get through to her , sonny . sonny : what are you worrying about ? nothing 's happened . carly : it could happen . sonny : well , anything could happen . i mean , franco could get in an accident or disappear . carly : stop ! do n't even say that ! sonny : things like that happen all the time , carly . i 'm just giving the situation perspective . carly : think i got through to her ? what do you think ? sonny : yeah . i think -- i think you did . i think kiki knows that she 's been around our family long enough that this would cause you a lot of pain . carly : sonny , kiki does n't know that if franco finds out what we 've been doing , he 's gon na go straight to michael and tell him that you killed aj . sonny : okay , carly . like you , kiki cares about ... him . all right ? so , i do n't think she 's gon na want to , you know , hurt franco . she 's not gon na say anything . carly : i wish i had your confidence . but for all we know , kiki 's talking to him right now as we speak . franco : hi , kiki . you okay ? what are you doing here ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : some mid - level flunky for julian jerome who stole my merchandise , shot one of my men -- my brother just lets go . ric : it 's not because -- it 's not because of me . it 's because of the mayor . sonny : well , wh - when did the mayor take interest in julian jerome 's foot soldiers ? ric : look , look . the mayor has aspirations to run for governor . she 's got to present herself as a `` law and order `` candidate , so she 's got to crack down on organized crime . sonny : okay , would n't it be better for her image to just leave the hijacker in lockup ? ric : your hijacker , charles heineck , was released in exchange for his testimony . letting him go was the only way we were gon na get him to testify against his boss . sonny : and -- and you -- you agreed to these terms ? ric : i was n't happy about the whole decision , but it was up to the mayor , okay , sonny ? listen , heineck -- heineck has agreed to testify that it was jerome who ordered the hijacking in the first place . sonny : so you think you can get enough to put down julian jerome ? ric : look , heineck 's testimony in conjunction with julian 's extensive criminal record -- i guarantee you i 'm gon na be able to get a conviction . look , you want to get julian , right ? sonny : right . ric : so do i . look at it as a bargain . i just cut loose of the little fish so we can get the big one . [ scene_break ] dante : you released the hijacker ? jordan : it was n't my decision . thank our esteemed mayor and our acting da . dante : how did lomax get involved ? jordan : well , she urged lansing to make a deal with our friend charlie in exchange for his testimony against julian . dante : well , i 'm all for getting julian jerome , but this is a little ridiculous . jordan : yeah , well , so am i . but i do n't like the idea of this wise guy walking on the streets . [ scene_break ] charlie : oh , there 's been no mistake . you were carefully selected , although , uh , you did n't have to make it quite so easy . i mean , given the company you keep , i think you 'd be more concerned with your ... personal security . tj : what is this about ? what do you want with me ? [ scene_break ] sloane : anna . so you 're really back . anna : mm . yeah . i - i got in this morning . i guess the jet lag 's probably gon na kick in in a little while . sloane : well , you look fine to me . anna : thank you . sloane : more than fine . anna : oh , that 's very nice . sloane : you seem ... a little distant . anna : do i ? sloane : to be honest , i was n't sure i 'd ever hear from you again , the way we left things . anna : well , i said i was gon na come back . sloane : but you were n't sure you wanted to see me . yet here we are again just hours after you return . can i take this as a sign that ... there 's a chance for us ? [ scene_break ] sam : come on . we finally have the leverage we can use against my cousin . we now know that nikolas fixed the election to put mayor lomax into office . we can pressure him into giving elq back to michael . jason : yeah , yeah , yeah . we ca n't get ahead of ourselves , okay ? this only works if devane gets sloane to cooperate . sam : why are you throwing cold water on my enthusiasm ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : during this -- this memory you -- you just had , you said that , uh -- that we were kissing . what could jake possibly have to do with that ? hayden : i wish i knew . [ sighs ] nikolas : well , i do n't remember , um [ chuckles ] any such incident , but ... let 's just say that during our `` on `` periods , we kissed a lot . hayden : intriguing . [ chuckles ] nikolas : i mean , when -- when we were good ... ... we were really good . hayden : i have no doubt . in my memory , you told me to stop making threats about jake . nikolas : well , maybe i just wanted you to stop talking about him and pay attention to me . hayden : well , that 's very flattering , but i know there was more to it than that . jake and that sam chick seem to think that i knew jake 's real identity . maybe they 're right . maybe that 's what i was making threats about . [ scene_break ] dante : i do n't care how much pressure the mayor is putting on him . ric should n't have made a deal to put a hijacker back on the street . jordan : it 's in heineck 's best interest to keep his nose clean until his trial . dante : does he look like the kind of guy who makes solid life choices to you ? he 's gone after sonny twice and lived to tell about it . what 's to stop him from going three for three ? jordan : i know sonny 's your father , okay , but i 'm less concerned for him than i am that my son is still living under his roof . tj 's still a potential target . [ scene_break ] charlie : you 're in no position to be demanding answers , okay ? tj : you 're in a hell of a lot more trouble than you realize . you do know my mother 's the police commissioner , right ? charlie : oh , yeah . yeah , we met . she 's a good - looking woman . i was a recipient of her hospitality in lockup , but the da sprung me . i got an immunity deal to testify against julian jerome . tj : you 're the guy . you 're the one who hijacked sonny 's trucks . charlie : yeah . took a lot of planning and skill , by the way . but the payoff -- it was worth it . dickie : everything okay in here ? charlie : yeah , yeah . me and tj just , uh , getting acquainted . the guys in position ? dickie : yeah . they wanted me to ask if you heard from the boss . tj : so it 's true . you really do work for julian jerome . is he the one that put you up to the hijacking ? [ scene_break ] ric : the good news is that with charlie 's testimony , i can put julian away for a good long time . sonny : [ sighs ] well , i - i look forward to that development . ric : good , good , good ... 'cause the only thing that you need to be focused on today is saying `` i do . `` so , you ready ? sonny : i 've got my vows right here . ric : whoo ! not that he 's eager or anything . sonny : no , i just , uh -- you know , i - i considered carly my wife when we got married . ric : right . sonny : but , you know , i 've been with other women -- a few . ric : mm - hmm . sonny : and i 've loved them , but i always had a connection with carly , and we 're just making it official . ric : yeah . which would explain your lack of wedding - day jitters , right ? sonny : well , i do n't -- i have no doubt about the wedding , but i am a little nervous . morgan showed up here , um , this morning . he was all messed up . ric : oh , damn it . this is -- it 's about ava jerome , is n't it ? sonny : what 's that ? ric : well [ sighs ] look , i know that -- i know that morgan has history with ava , and he was in the courtroom when scott proved that she was alive and impersonating her twin sister . i was so busy with all the legal matters -- you know , the judge and the added charges and everything -- i did n't get a chance to see him . he 's -- he 's pretty broken up about it , is he ? sonny : to make matters worse , uh , him and kiki broke up last night . ric : oh . sonny : so he went out and gambled , you know , a lot of money and got hammered . ric : so it was a pretty rough night , huh ? sonny : yeah . he 's upstairs right now . he 's sobering up . ric : well , i hope he 's gon na be okay for the ceremony . sonny : yeah , i 'm sure , you know -- i 'm positive that morgan 's gon na be at the wedding . i ca n't say as much for michael . [ scene_break ] carly : [ chuckles ] oh , i knew you would come through . oh , gosh . sonny is going to be so happy . he is going to be over the moon . this is going to mean so much to sonny . sorry . you said you had a dream and that nothing had really changed and ... you ca n't really bear to forgive him . so ... what happened ? michael : nothing really happened . i have n't -- i have n't ... [ sighs ] i have n't changed . not about sonny , anyway . carly : okay , then i do n't understand because you 're going to the wedding . michael : yeah . i 'll be at the wedding . but not for sonny . [ scene_break ] jason : i just want to be sure that devane can deliver sloane . sam : she can . jason : [ scoffs ] well , then reassure me . sam : well , sloane told anna that he wanted to expose nikolas and mayor lomax . he wanted to blow them out of the water . i 'm sure she can convince him to work with us . jason : yeah , she 's guessing . she does n't have confirmation . sam : well , uh , i 'm sure it will take some time . meanwhile , i say we go in there and rattle nikolas ' cage , let him know that we have the upper hand . he may think he has screwed the quartermaines and -- and michael over , but we 've got his number . jason : okay .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : hello . i 'm actually surprised that , uh , you 're paying me a visit . i mean , you both made it abundantly clear that i 'm not your favorite person after i wrested elq from poor little innocent michael . sam : yeah , we do hate that , but that 's not why we 're here . patrick told us that hayden was staying here . i wanted to see how she was doing . jason : hope you do n't mind . hayden : oh . if it is n't the man who 's not my husband . what are you doing here ? jason : i wanted to come see you , check up on you . hayden : and you brought sam because ? sam : um , i insisted , actually . i hope you do n't mind us kind of barging in like this . hayden : we were just about to head out to the pool , actually . jason : taking advantage of the weather while it lasts , huh ? hayden : yeah , i was in that hospital so long , it just feels so good to have the sun on my skin . sam : i 'll bet . jason : i know what you feel like . when i got out of the hospital , i did n't want to spend a moment inside . hayden : mm . sam : this is n't really gon na take long . hayden : if you insist . sam : okay , well , we were talking about that conversation that we were having right before you were shot , and you said that you knew who jake was . you insisted . he -- he did n't want to know , but you refused to take no for an answer . hayden : and then ... and then i was shot . that 's what -- that 's what they told me . sam : right . and then you woke up in the hospital , and then you said you did n't remember anything about jake . hayden : well , i thought i remembered being married to him . oh , well . sam : well , we were kind of wondering if there was any progress on the memory front . jason : do you remember anything ? anything at all ? hayden : actually , nikolas and i were just talking about that . [ scene_break ] michael : coming to the wedding is n't some gesture of forgiveness . [ clears throat ] i 'm doing it for morgan . carly : what do you mean ? michael : he 's all tied up in knots about seeing you and sonny today after you made this big deal about how kiki 's going to solve all of his problems and basically be his cure . he thinks you 're gon na look at him like he 's some crazy loser . carly : i never said he was a loser or crazy , and i would never think of him like that . michael : i know , but morgan ca n't always hear what you try and tell him . he gets so caught up in how he 's -- how he 's feeling , and right now , he 's -- he 's feeling pretty rotten . carly : okay . you know what ? sit down . please . sit down . i just -- start from the beginning , okay ? when did you see morgan ? michael : uh ... last night . he left me a voicemail to meet him at the haunted star . he was -- he was at the bar getting hammered . carly : because of kiki ? michael : yeah , they broke up . oh . uh , kiki found out that morgan was sleeping with ava . carly : i knew it ! i knew that was going to happen . how did kiki find out ? did that witch ava tell kiki just to ease her conscience ? michael : uh ... no . it was franco . carly : why would he do that ? what good did he think it was going to do , telling kiki ? oh , he was trying to hurt morgan . that 's what -- michael : okay , you know what ? just -- it 's -- it 's not important . forget about franco . the point is , morgan is hurting right now , okay ? and -- and he wanted me to have his back at the wedding , and after thinking about it , i - i could n't refuse . carly : of course , you could n't . you 're a big brother , and you 're great , and thank god he was able to reach out to you . michael : yeah , and ... i did what i could to help . carly : ava just keeps ruining his life over and over again . and it 's true -- i was afraid that morgan was relying too much on kiki , and i thought this was gon na happen . [ sighs ] okay . all right . so , where is morgan ? michael : uh , i dropped him off here last night . he 's probably still sleeping . carly : no , he 's not . i know that morgan is not here , so where the hell is he ?

[ scene_break ] dante : if anything , charlie should be in protective custody . or at least ric could have given us a heads - up so we could put a tail on the guy . jordan : well , that 's our interim da is not much of a team player . he and the mayor are scrambling to shore up his position , especially after he was knee- deep in silas clay 's murder . dante : well , i never thought he killed silas clay , but he was definitely conspiring with madeline . jordan : which does n't do his political aspirations any good . he 's sucking up to lomax like crazy , hoping that she 's gon na keep him in office and then pave the way for him for the next election . dante : well , and let 's not forget my father . ric could be pushing this case against julian too far , too fast , hoping to score points with sonny .

[ cell phone rings ] charlie : yeah , boss . everything 's going according to plan . how do you want me to , uh ... proceed ? gotcha . tj : so , that was julian . charlie : do n't worry about the phone call , kid . you got a phone call of your own to make . and you know what ? and you better be very , very convincing . [ scene_break ] dante : ric 's desperate for sonny 's approval . he 's been on sonny 's bad side . he 'd rather be on his good side . jordan : what about you ? you ever feel , like , a conflict of interest ? dante : if sonny breaks the law , my job is to bring him to justice . i keep that separate from my feelings for him as a father . jordan : well , meanwhile , we have da lansing and mayor lomax putting a dangerous felon back on the streets . and if that goes wrong , someone 's ass is on the line .

jordan announces to dante , and ric announces to sonny that they have what should be `` good news `` in getting julian jerome found out and convicted . the police commissioner and da have released one of julian 's hijackers to offer him immunity in exchange for his testimony against julian . yet they are all a bit concerned that having this dangerous criminal set free might endanger people , specifically people who are connected to sonny . and right as they speak , the former jerome hijacker has taken tj hostage and has him call sonny from the warehouse . this is right before sonny 's wedding although he rushes to get there in order to save tj . meanwhile , anna has contacted sloane and is urging him to testify against lomax and nikolas , now that she knows they rigged the mayoral election . yet sloane is not entirely trusting that it wo n't get him implicated along with them . also , he expresses that he still has feelings for anna and wishes she was back in his life . at that point , sam wants to run with the information she just got from anna which could get nikolas charged with a federal crime . she tells her cousin she has the goods on him and wo n't get him convicted if he gives elq back to michael . yet nikolas is still confident that he `` holds the card `` given that he has the information about who jake really is . neither jake or sam have a clue . hayden is staying with him and she indicates that she has no recollection of the information she previously had , before she was put in a coma , about who jake really is .

[ spinelli chuckles ] georgie : i am sure that you are a guy who can do whatever he wants if he puts his mind to it . spinelli : if only that were true . georgie : is everything okay ? maybe i should 've called before i came . spinelli : no , no , no , no . no need for warnings between friends , and for you -- for you , loyal little sister , i will tackle the father of mr. corinthos , sir 's recalcitrant appliance . hmm . georgie : so -- um -- what 's new ? did you ever take that gun - safety course at the shooting range ? spinelli : i no longer -- i no longer seek the knowledge to operate weapons . see , the jackal has decided that the crabby commando type is overrated . georgie : i could n't agree more . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm not completely insensitive . i know how deeply i 've hurt you . and not just with what happened with jason , but because i did n't trust you enough to handle the truth in whatever way you needed . i 'm sorry , lucky . i can see now that that was a mistake . but you said you wanted to work things out , and ever since then , you 've been punishing me . you 've been angry , you 've been passive - aggressive , and now you 've just jumped to plain old aggressive . lucky : what do you mean ? elizabeth : come on , lucky , you 've been hanging out with sam , who hits on you every chance she gets and then rubs it in my face -- and so do you , every time you let it stand . lucky : let me ask you something . if i slept with sam , would it matter ? or would you just take the chance to go back to jason ? elizabeth : god , lucky , how my times do i have to tell you , how many different ways ? jason is not an option . i did what i said i would and i cut him out of my life . lucky : after you refused for months . you scolded me for having the nerve to ask . elizabeth : we 've been through some difficult times . lucky : it does n't help every time you run to jason when things take a turn for the worse . elizabeth : i needed a friend . lucky : i practically begged you to stay away from jason , and you refused . why now ? what 's changed ? elizabeth : two men came out of nowhere when i was in the park with my boys and threatened to use us as leverage against jason . i can not let the danger that surrounds him jeopardize my children . lucky : or , in other words , you ca n't have jason , so you settle for me . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] emily : you should stop being so wonderful , by the way . i do n't have the energy to show you proper appreciation . nikolas : oh , you just did . emily : yeah ? nikolas : yeah . emily : you promise you wo n't take it personally if i land face first in these crab cakes ? huh . nikolas : which would just prove what i 've been trying to tell you all along in my not - so - subtle way -- that you 're working too hard . emily : comes with the territory . nikolas : it 's insane . in that hospital 12 hours a day , where 's the time for you ? emily : you mean for us ? nikolas , you 're being so sweet . but i can tell that you 're disappointed that i ca n't go to italy with you . nikolas : yeah , i am . but i keep telling myself that you wo n't be an intern forever . when it 's finally over , you can give some serious thought to our own future . singer : love for you [ scene_break ] spinelli : so am i to understand you 're not impressed with men with overabundant testosterone ? georgie : i like a little . you know , i do n't -- i do n't really know if -- if `` edge `` is the right word , you know , because i do n't think anyone besides me would 've seen dillon as edgy . spinelli : uh -- georgie : okay , okay , so maybe `` quirk . `` you know , but poseurs like logan i just do n't really have time for . spinelli : you know , lulu says that there 's more to the knuckle scraper than meets the eye -- georgie : lulu is kidding herself ; she 's only seeing what she wants to see . spinelli : she is justifying her attraction to the unworthy one . georgie : yes -- maybe it 's also a little deeper than that . lulu is preconditioned to believe that any bad - boy exterior hides a heart of gold -- i mean , look at her father . luke is constantly wanted by the police and , believe me , i know . mac comes home to eat dinner , and then he talks about how yet another warrant has been issued for the arrest of luke spencer and how it 's his job to track him down , whether he likes it or not . you know , luke is also a hero , and everybody knows it -- especially lulu . spinelli : wow . clearly , the loyal little sister has given this a lot of thought . georgie : i wanted to be a writer . yeah , i really like figuring out what motivates people to do what they do , and , you know , with lulu , it 's -- it 's pretty easy . she wants a guy to save -- like her mom saved her dad -- and on the exterior , it looks like logan fits the profile . but , unfortunately for her , logan is just a jerk in jerk 's clothing , and the best thing that could ever happen to her is if logan just left town . spinelli : he may not have a choice . [ scene_break ] carly : thanks for your help with morgan . you were great with him . jax : monsters in the night terrorizing a little boy i can handle . my wife 's fears i 'm having a -- a little trouble with . come on , what can i say to convince you ? i 'm crazy in love with you and this little family we 've got going here . i want to be here for all of it . i do -- for the small moments , the big moments , the good and the bad . carly : you said this to me before . the day we got married , you said all of this to me , and i believed you , i believed every word . and before the ink was dry on our marriage license , you took off , so -- no , why should i believe you this time ? tell me why . jax : i m -- i made a mistake , carly ! carly : `` i made a mistake , carly . `` jax : look , i made a mistake because of my misguided loyalty to my brother , who does n't deserve it . carly : no . jax : and i know that you tried to convince me that it was -- carly : i stood there and i begged you not to go ! jax : i know you begged me not to go . i 'm sorry , it wo n't happen again , it wo n't . carly : jerry 's not the only issue . so we 're going to settle this , we 're going to deal with it all . okay ? [ scene_break ] sonny : anthony zacchara is one of the most ruthless dons i 've ever come across . the second that trevor lansing came into your life , he brought that to your front door . kate : well , according to trevor , you are the one who presents a danger -- sonny : well , what else is he going to say ? he 's a man , he 's got instincts . he sees that we 're , you know more than friends , so he does n't want the competition . kate : what makes you think we 're more than friends ? sonny : oh , i know -- you love reminding me that we 're not in high school anymore , okay ? you know what ? can you lose the coy for a second , because it does n't really suit you right now , and i 'm just trying to school you on the facts . anthony zacchara is as dirty as they come . trevor lansing works for zacchara , which makes him dirty , too . kate : but trevor denies any association with this zacchara person . sonny : okay , then i 'm going to ask you . who do you believe -- trevor or me ? [ scene_break ] georgie : did logan tell you that he was leaving town ? spinelli : uh , not -- not exactly . he , um -- georgie : okay -- um -- then why would logan say -- ah . better question -- why do you look so guilty ? spinelli : the unworthy one is most certainly unworthy , but even he does n't deserve the full wrath of stone cold . georgie : why would jason want to hurt logan ? spinelli : i may have , in a moment of confidence - sharing with my mentor , may have mentioned -- in passing , of course -- that the unworthy one planted -- the unworthy one planted an unwanted kiss on the fair lulu 's lips , and that when i protested , he reverted to type and left me in a gasping heap on the floor . so i fear that stone cold will unleash all of his pent - up anger and aggression on the unworthy one , and i shudder to think of the potential outcome . georgie : i know that jason considers you a friend . but i really do n't think we have to worry about anybody ending up at the bottom of a lake over this . spinelli : really ? georgie : yeah , seriously . i mean , god , the most jason 's going to do is , like , scare logan , and would that really be such a bad thing for -- spinelli : oh ! oh ! thank you . georgie : what was that for ? spinelli : well , for -- for giving me hope that i have n't lost fair lulu forever .

[ scene_break ] jax : why are you changing the subject ? carly : i 'm not changing the subject , it all ties together . when we found out that anthony zacchara might be making a move on port charles , you immediately blamed sonny , and then you tried to get all territorial , saying that you 're the only one who should be able to protect your family . jax : and that 's a crime ? carly : no , it 's not a crime , but that 's not really what it 's about . you 're trying to put sonny in his place instead of protecting me and the boys , and i do n't really understand that , since your hands are n't exactly clean . jax : oh -- oh , that -- that is low . you know exactly why i had to sleep with irina . carly : oh , my gosh . okay , you know what ? you would n't have been in the situation to `` have `` to sleep with irina if you had n't followed jerry to being with . jax : oh , do you see how we keep going around in circles here ? carly : yeah . jax : i mean , this is -- okay , you know what ? you want to go there ? carly : i want to go there . jax : oh , you really want to go there ? okay , let me explain this to you . you know why i had to sleep with irina -- she could 've killed one of us . now , i did n't see a gun to your head when you slept with -- carly : see -- right there ! you are still mad at me because i slept with sonny . you really have n't forgiven me ! jax : well , you 're making it impossible ! carly : and you 're making our marriage a contest ! who messed up more ? who got hurt more ? i do n't want to live like this ! jax : well , guess what , carly -- neither do i .

[ scene_break ] jax : look , i do n't believe in keeping score , and i think you know that -- especially , since you came from a relationship that gave new meaning to the blame game . okay , i was the guy that was promising something different , and that 's why you wanted to be with me . now that we 're -- we 're having some trouble , you 're losing faith , and i understand that because -- see , you ca n't trust that i 'm not just more of the same , right ? carly : okay . okay , that 's me . and i 'm sorry , i wish i was n't like that , but i am . it 's no fun , you know ? i am what my experience makes me . so what are you going to do ? are you going to use all my issues and all my problems as a reason to walk out the door on me ? is that what you want to do ? jax : no . carly -- hey .

[ scene_break ] ric : your honor , permission to approach ? judge aroyo : mr. lansing , i realize that you were not aware of the victim 's undercover status . if you would like time to consult with your client , in light of the fact that this is now a death penalty case , i 'll allow it . ric : your honor , what mr. baldwin is suggesting is that logan hayes was a police officer at the time of his death . he is not a police officer , never has been . scott : i can supply documentation that -- ric : oh , forged documents , i 'm sure . scott : now that 's a serious allegation , lansing . ric : well , i think that the special prosecutor might be misled . logan hayes was not a police officer , your honor . logan hayes was , indeed , an ex - soldier who was dishonorably discharged . scott : oh , that 's just great . smear the reputation of a man , a soldier , who served for this country . judge aroyo : the court is satisfied that logan hayes was working undercover for the pcpd at the time of this death . as such , his death would meet the parameters of murder with special circumstances . ric : your honor , i request a continuance to verify the authenticity judge aroyo : denied . i have already made my ruling on the victim 's status . do you want time for a recess with your client or not ? ric : yes , your honor , i would like a recess . ric : i 'm sorry , john . i do n't know how baldwin managed it , but you 're literally fighting for your life . [ scene_break ] maxie : you know , you do n't have to help us out . i could take spinelli , if you want . elizabeth : just doing my job , maxie . okay , spinelli , when you get home , lots of rest , nothing strenuous . maxie : but he does n't have to stay in bed , right ? elizabeth : no , he can get up , just for short periods of time . maxie : i wonder what 's taking jason so long . he was supposed to pick up spinelli . elizabeth : i 'm sure he 'll be here . maxie : it 's just inconsiderate to keep him waiting while he 's not feeling good . spinelli : perhaps he 's being delayed by the slavic -- elizabeth : i said he 'll be here . maxie : oh , do n't jump down spinelli 's throat just because you do n't like the idea of jason dating someone else . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , what would mom have anything to do with you feeling better ? lulu : being able to see her and hold her hand . it 's put things into perspective . nikolas : well , i thought that 's what you were afraid of . that you 'd end up like her . lulu : well , not anymore . i 've managed to deal with what happened to logan . nikolas : good . i mean , yeah , i guess i know what it feels like to be the one who survived . i mean on -- on one hand you want to be able to embrace life . on the other , trying to figure out why you were chosen to live and not someone else . there 's no real logical explanation for it . and even if there was , it does n't change what happened , you know ? lulu : yeah . nikolas : you 've just got to live your life , i guess , and move on . lulu : well , i 'll always be sorry about what happened to logan . but how i deal with it , how i live my life from here on out , depends on johnny .

[ scene_break ] ric : all right , look . i have enough evidence that will create reasonable doubt and get you acquitted , but , at this very moment , you are literally betting your life . you can enter a plea . you can get a reduced sentence and a guarantee that you are not going to be put to death . johnny : how long ? ric : five years . they 're going to give you 10 . could be either . johnny : if i even spend a day in jail , my father is going to implode , and then he 's going to go after every single person whoever so much as served me a cup of coffee . no plea bargain . [ scene_break ] alan : so , are you happy now ? tracy : it 's not my fault that baldwin decided to forge documents so it looks like his son was a cop . alan : you said you wanted lulu away from johnny at any cost . does that include his death ? tracy : shut up . [ tracy clears throat ] [ scene_break ] ric : john , i have a strong defense , but there is compelling evidence against you . the further we get into this trial , the harder it is going to be to get a plea bargain . johnny : well , that 's not an option for you or me . my father is not going to accept anything less than an acquittal , and if an acquittal does n't happen , you are going to be the first in his line of fire . now you can bail and turn this case over to trevor if you want . i 'm not going to hold it against you . ric : no , no , i 'm -- i 'm a better lawyer than my father . you 're going to need my help .

[ scene_break ] diane : you are -- you really need to take a look at the contract , sonny , because the exporter is trying to lay the taxes off on you . and that is not the agreement , as you explained it to me . sonny : diane , if kate can put off what she has to do until she gets to the office , i can do the same . there 's much more important things in life than work . diane : absolutely . but the world did not stop turning while you were away , and there is much to catch up on . kate : okay , well , clearly diane is not going to go until you handle this . so , do n't mind me . sonny : no , no , no . you 're not going to go now , because that 's not right . kate : well , actually , i think it 's just going to go a lot faster if i 'm not here to distract you . max , i would love that ice tea . diane : oh , and max will get it for you . here you go . max : yeah , i 'll bring it out . kate : okay .

[ scene_break ] lulu : johnny 's trial started today . i have n't been able to stop thinking about him . nikolas : lulu , look . now , i know that you think nothing will ever feel right until you can be with him again , but for your own sake do n't make him , or really anyone else for that matter , your reason for living or holding onto your sanity . lulu : you say that as if i can control it . nikolas : well , you could if you focus on your recovery . lulu : okay , now i know -- i know that getting well is -- starts with me . you know , like drugs and alcohol , you ca n't do it for anybody else , but part of my recovery is about being honest . and i would be lying if i did n't say johnny is on my mind all the time , trial or no trial . lucky : hey , guys . lulu : hey . lucky : hey , you look fantastic . lulu : well i -- i 'm stronger than yesterday . lucky : well , that 's great . do you need anything ? maybe something from home -- lulu : how is johnny 's trial going ? [ scene_break ] scott : your honor , ladies and gentlemen of the jury , you are looking at a blood - thirsty killer . a son of the infamous gangster , born into violence , raised in violence , and destined to wear the mantel of violence . ric : special prosecutor baldwin would like for you to believe that the son should pay for the sins of the father . the only problem with that is john zacchara is n't a criminal . scott : john zacchara saw logan hayes as an obstacle , and what do all mobsters do ? they kill the obstacles , and then they just cover it up . ric : logan hayes was suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder , a debilitating syndrome which often manifests itself in irrational and even psychotic behavior . scott : logan hayes was a patriot . after serving in iraq , he decided what else could he do for the country . so he decided to become a police officer . ric : he became increasingly more angry and more violent , and he took this out on the one person that he felt was his competition . logan hayes attacked john zacchara , an attack that was so relentless , one of the men was bound to wind up dead . john zacchara had no choice but to defend himself . [ scene_break ] jason : come on . the doctor gave you some pain meds . spinelli : yeah , the jackal laughs at pain . usually . jason : who are you trying to impress , spinelli ? spinelli : stone cold scorns any reliance on pharmaceuticals . jason : okay , you know what ? i have my reasons . that 's me , you 're you . you 're smart , you have a future . why are you doing this ? why are out hanging out in alleys so you can get hit by cars ? spinelli : jackal p.i . was attempting to gain vital intelligence for the master . jason : yeah , i 'm not worth risking your life on a stakeout . you 're too good for that . spinelli : no . i 'm a hopeless wimp , okay ? something that stone cold can not comprehend because he is a paragon of manly prowess . jason : okay , i want you to tell me something . exactly what part of my life do you want ? spinelli : you ca n't seriously ask that . jason : is it the laws i 've broken ? is it the jail time ? is it the people i hurt ? the fact that i 've got to keep everybody i care about at a distance ? spinelli : there is much about stone cold 's existence that 's worth -- jason : like people wanting to kill me ? is that what appeals to you ? spinelli : stone cold has to look no further than right in -- jason : i use fear and intimidation on a daily basis . i mean , you do n't -- you do n't even see it . you 're already a better person than i am . [ scene_break ] kate : you know , i 'm actually feeling a little guilty about the way i kicked clarice out , so i think i should go up to the office . diane : kate , i 'm sure you 're probably both very hungry after that long flight . do n't we still have some leftover pasta in the fridge ? max has become quite the chef . kate : you know what , diane ? it 's okay . i really could n't . thank you , though . it 's not going to be long . sonny : okay , i 'll tell you what i 'm going to do , all right ? i want to pick you up in the speedboat ; we 're going to come home across the harbor . you love that ? kate : i love that . sonny : you love that ? kate : mm - hmm . sonny : all right . bye . kate : bye . sonny : what the hell is going on ? diane : nothing . max : nothing , nothing . diane : nothing . sonny : okay , if this is about me and kate getting married , i do n't want to hear it . if you do n't like it , i 'm accepting resignations . no ? good . because , as you can obviously see , we are very much in love and i would very much appreciate it if the people that we care about gave us a little bit of support . now , we are happy . we are getting married . end of story . [ scene_break ] lucky : i remember when i was staying here , leaving my room voluntarily -- lulu : do you know how awful it feels when you hide things from me ? it 's like you do n't trust me enough to tell me the truth . lucky : it 's not about trust . lulu : all right , nikolas , can you please give me an update ? nikolas : lulu , do n't play us off of each other . lulu : well , the difference is you respect my decisions and my feelings . lucky , on the other hand , thinks i 'm a hysterical kid who does n't know what 's good for her . lucky : lulu , we both want you to get well . lulu : then tell me the truth . something happened . nikolas : lucky , whatever it is , it 's best she hear it from you . lucky : scott claims he has evidence that logan was acting as an undercover cop . lulu : what ? that 's crazy . scott wanted logan to be a cop , but logan was n't interested . lucky : i know , scott has proof . nikolas : probably forged , not that it really matters . but listen , if logan really was a cop , that makes his killing murder with special circumstances , right ? lucky : he 's right . if he gets convicted , he could get the death penalty . [ scene_break ] scott : the prosecution calls assistant coroner , robert banner . dr . banner , how long have you been a coroner ? dr . banner : three years in port charles , but ten years before that in buffalo . scott : so , when you say that logan hayes had been dead for two hours when you found him outside the clinic , is that more than an educated guess ? dr . banner : that 's right . we can pinpoint the time of death between 6 : 00 and 9 : 00 p.m . scott : what was the cause of death ? dr . banner : the victim died of a single stab wound , probably from a large kitchen knife . ric : is this the kind of knife that killed logan hayes ? dr . banner : it 's possible . ric : uh , how about this one ? dr . banner : that could be it , too . ric : really ? well , this is from my kitchen . and this is from the port charles police department lunch room . now , i have to ask you , dr . banner , is n't it possible that there are thousands of kitchens that have the exact same kind of knife matching the one that killed logan hayes ? dr . banner : yes . ric : yes . no more questions , your honor . judge aroyo : mr. baldwin , next witness . scott : i call detective david harper . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal appreciates the master 's heartening pep talk . while he is flattered by the compliments offered , he still feels compelled to point out that he remains deficient in all facets of manly prowess . jason : i lost michael this year . i basically lost sonny . you 're one of the few remaining friends i have left . look , i 'm not going to tell you what to do , but selfishly , i do n't want you to die , especially doing something stupid like surveillance . spinelli : yeah , but that 's a skill that i wish to cultivate , along with a greater ease and accuracy with firearms and maybe even general proficiency in martial -- jason : yeah , but there 's nothing manly about getting shot at or carrying a gun . why ca n't you learn to trust yourself the way i trust you ? [ scene_break ] lulu : there must be a way to prove that scott is lying . lucky : judge was n't interested . lulu : okay , scott wants revenge for logan . he 's not going to be happy until johnny is dead , too . nikolas : maybe you could still appeal . lulu : johnny is a zacchara . he 's not going to last a week in prison . lucky : and his family will protect him . the best lawyer money can buy . lulu : i have to testify . nikolas : no , how -- of course , absolutely not . lucky : scott will twist everything you say . nikolas : the way to help john is to get well . lulu : okay , you know what ? can you -- will you just see johnny for me and tell him that i love him and i believe in him ? nikolas : of course i will . lucky : lulu , try not to worry . you need to save every ounce of strength for yourself . lulu : johnny is on trial because of me . [ scene_break ] [ knock at door ] jerry : hello , little brother . you busy ? jax : no . actually , i wanted to show you something . jerry : is that the new house ? alexis told me you had big plans . nice . jax : you still hanging out with her , huh ? jerry : well , she 's entirely devoted to you . i do n't know how comfortable i am with that . jax : if she 's asked you to persuade me that my relationship with carly will never work , you can save your breath . jerry : do you know how annoying it is that she 's so territorial when it comes to you ? jax : oh , really ? well , that 's because we want what 's best for each other . sometimes we just disagree on what that is . jerry : well , you see , alexis is as misguided by carly being bad for you as you are about me being bad for alexis . but , as your older brother , i 'm here to tell you that carly is the best thing that will happen to you . [ scene_break ] carly : hey , tim , good job with brunch yesterday . tim : oh , thanks , mrs. jacks . carly : have you seen mr. jacks ? tim : i have n't seen him yet . carly : oh , thanks . tim : sure . sonny : carly . carly : hey . if you 're looking for kate , she 's probably up in her office . sonny : no , no , i 'm looking for you . carly : any particular reason why ? sonny : i just got back from the island . and i took kate . carly : it 's pretty there this time of year . sonny : it brought up a lot of stuff . listen , it 's time for you and me to make this right . [ scene_break ] spinelli : what is this nourishment you bring ? jason : tomato soup and some crackers . spinelli : the jackal 's well - being is generally dependant on large quantities of orange soda and barbeque chips . jason : yeah , maybe you should lay off the junk for a few days . spinelli : aw , considering what the jackal went through at the hands of medical personnel poking and prodding and meals consisting of large amounts of brightly colored yet flavorless gelatin , it seems like a harmless pick - me - up would do me wonders . you know , something to lift my spirits and carry me on the wings of bliss to a speedy recovery . [ knock at door ] spinelli : what ? maxie : oh , good . this stuff weighs a ton . and could you be really careful with this stuff ? it 's my hair products . hi ! spinelli : hey . what an unexpected surprise . jason : um , wait , what is this ? why all these bags ? maxie : well , someone has to stay here to take care of spinelli . [ scene_break ] laura : honey ? you look upset . lulu : every time things start to get better , they get worse again . laura : i saw you out here with your brothers . is it too much for me to ask you to try to keep that secret ? lulu : lucky and nikolas would be so happy if they knew about you , but i understand why you do n't want them to know . laura : then , something else is bothering you ? is it logan ? lulu : in a way . johnny 's murder trial started today , and the d.a . 's office -- laura : what ? lulu : it does n't matter . there 's nothing you can do -- laura : it does matter . i can tell it matters a lot to you . are you trying to protect me from something ? please , do n't do that . i 'm your mother . talk to me . lulu : scott baldwin forged some document so that it looked like logan was an undercover cop , which means if johnny is convicted , he 'll be facing the death penalty in my place . [ scene_break ] det . harper : the evidence indicated that the victim was murdered elsewhere and his body dropped at the clinic . ric : and on what do you base your conclusion ? det . harper : my experience as a homicide detective . ric : okay . so , in fact , elsewhere could mean anywhere within a three - hour drive of port charles , is that correct ? det . harper : or three blocks . ric : well , for example , it could have been , say , a botched robbery or a gang killing ? det . harper : as long as the gang member drives a late model , high end sedan with matching carpet fibers . ric : so , in fact , in your experience , detective , in homicide , if a person with severe stab wounds were to be dropped at a free clinic , would n't you conclude that the person who dropped them there in the first place was trying to get them medical help or save their life ? det . harper : the victim had already been dead for at least two to three hours . ric : well , yes , but you do n't have any evidence that shows that my client killed logan hayes deliberately or otherwise . no proof that shows he had intent . det . harper : we do n't have an eyewitness , no . ric : no more questions , your honor . judge aroyo : you may step down , detective . [ scene_break ] anthony : he let him off the hook . trevor : no . richie 's doing better than i expected . [ scene_break ] edward : this is a waste of time . zacchara killed logan . why do n't we just find him guilty and move on ? judge aroyo : juror number two , please save your conversations for the jury room . edward : well , we 're all entitled to our own opinions . judge aroyo : not until all the evidence has been presented . do i need to go over the jury rules with you yet again ? edward : i 'll thank you not to patronize me , judge . judge aroyo : you can be quiet or i 'll send you to lockup on contempt and replace you with an alternate . mr. baldwin , call your next witness . scott : the state calls claudia zacchara . bailiff : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? [ scene_break ] jax : i know that things can be complicated with carly . sometimes the things i love about her are the things that drive us apart . jerry : well , i was wondering how many times you can survive that . jax : she needed to show me that we are equally committed and i have no doubt that we are . [ scene_break ] sonny : we noticed the sea shell collection . carly : do you remember the first time we took michael shell hunting ? he was determined to find the biggest and best shell . he had his eyes glued to the sand . sonny : yeah , he walked backward in the surf and then a wave just kind of knocked him down . carly : yeah . thank god you were there to save him . sonny : i should have packed up those shells up , and just -- right after the divorce and sent them to you . carly : why ? sonny : well , i mean -- carly : no , those shells belong on the island . that 's where the boys and i found them . sonny : we had fun . you know , we had our two sons there and i appreciate all the times you saved me . carly : you saved me , too . so , um , maybe in the end , that makes us even . i want you to know that i wish you the best . i really do . sonny : why the change of heart ? carly : because i love jax , and i had to lose him to find out how much he means to me and how perfect he is for me . so , i want the same for you . if kate is the woman who is going to put a smile on your face , then i wish you nothing but happiness . [ scene_break ] kate : well , actually all the planning i 've done for the wedding is just falling into place . it 's as if the angels are looking down on me . clarice : not that you 're superstitious . kate : no , i 'm so excited that you 're coming to the wedding . oh , i 'm sure by the time it rolls around i 'll be a complete mess . no -- why do n't you just talk to clarice . she can make all the arrangements for the hotel . okay , bye- bye . sorry . there 's one more thing you have to do . you have to arrange a block of rooms for all the out - of - town guests , okay ? clarice : i 'll do whatever you want , kate . kate : so , i 'm here , as promised . if you still needed to talk to me , i 'm all yours . clarice : kate , you know i love you . kate : clarice ? you are not quitting . you are not . did giselle offer you a raise ? clarice : what ? no , of course not . my loyalty is to you . and that 's why i have to say this . kate : oh , clarice , what -- what 's wrong ? clarice : i do n't want to see you hurt , ever . but i know you , and you 'd rather know about something like this than be left in the dark . kate : okay , um , like what ? clarice : when you were on the island , i went to drop the portfolio for the museum shoot off at sonny 's . diane and max did n't realize i was there , and i heard them talking . now , i promise you , i listened very carefully . i would never come to you unless i was absolutely certain . kate : about what , clarice ? clarice : back in may , when michael corinthos was shot , sonny and carly had sex .

it becomes clear that there is at least one juror already putting johnny in the gas chamber as edward loudly mutters his surety that he 's guilty . the judge allows scott to go ahead with the notion that logan was a cop , so john 's life is on the line , a fact lucky is very wary about revealing to lulu until she and nikolas pressure him into it . diane and max try to figure out how to keep kate from finding out what clarice knows , but as the show ends , she 's about to learn the truth . carly officially gives her blessing to sonny and kate , saying how happy she is with jax . he seems equally even more in love with her and reprimands clarice for setting carly up . alexis ' worry about carly and jax being a bad combination stalls jerry 's hopes of romance . jason tries to convince the jackal that he 's a better person than jason is , but is cut short by maxie arriving to take care of spinelli .

joe jr. : i 'd say i 'm comfortable , but it 's none of your business . tracy : what is this about ? i have a house full of sick people , and i have no time for tabloid press . todd : [ scoffs ] i 've made contact with jerry jacks , and he has a serum that will counteract what he put into the water supply . he wants ... $ 88,111,000 , and we 're gon na give it to him . mcbain : have a seat . so , this guy jerry , he likes to play games , right ? he linked -- he linked the ransom demand to those cards , so it kind of makes sense that he 'd also tie the counteragent to the dead man 's hand . sam : the only problem is , we do n't know where the cards are . mcbain : right . do n't know . when was the last time you saw them ? sam : when jax threw them in my face after his father died . uh , i deserved it , so ... mcbain : why did n't you keep them ? i did n't -- i did n't want them anymore . i had wasted so much time and energy thinking that those were gon na be the score that set me up for life . and it was -- it was too -- it was too late by the time i realized that they were bad luck all along . jax : ewen keenan did not execute our father . he died of natural causes in the hospital . do not try to twist this around , jerry ! jerry : it only looked that way because the poison father 's psychiatrist injected him with was slow - acting and left no trace ! jax : why ? what possible motive could he have had ? jerry : because dad swindled keenan 's father of the dead man 's hand ! that 's why ! jax : no , he won them in a card game , jerry . you know that . jerry : come on ! please ! does n't it strike you as odd ? those cards were priceless to dad . and he was always so vague about how he acquired them . that 's because he stole the cards from keenan 's family ! subsequently , they fell into ruin , and the good doctor wanted revenge . that 's why ! jax : how do you know all this ? jerry : because i walked in on keenan while he was injecting the poison into dad 's i.v . jax : [ scoffs ] you saw him and you did n't stop him , jerry ? jerry : it was too late ! even if they 'd flushed the poison away , he was too weak . he probably would never have recovered . jax : that 's your excuse ? ! he probably would have made it , jerry ! jerry : oh , come on ! do you think he would have thanked me for coming back ? ! huh ? he would have lied there on his bed , staring at the ceiling , pumped full of drugs , completely dependent on others . that 's not a life ! it would have been hell on earth for him ! he stole the cards , built a fortune on them , someone came back and killed him for revenge ! it 's a fitting end ! jax : you dress it up however you want ! you stood by and you watched keenan kill our own father ! jason : there 's no way out for you , keenan . just let her go . ewen : no ! i can fix this ! elizabeth : ewen , you 're hurting me . ewen : jason , get the hell out ! jason : tell me where jerry put the counteragent ! ewen : i do n't know ! elizabeth : jason , i believe him . ewen 's getting sick , too . he does n't know . ewen : elizabeth , i knew it . i knew you 'd understand . i did n't know what jerry was planning . and if i 'd known , i 'd have stopped him . but i can -- i can stop him now . okay , if i can just talk to him , i can reason with him . jason : it 's no problem . just let elizabeth go . elizabeth : ewen , i - if you let me go , i 'll be able to explain that you did n't mean for any of this to happen . just -- just let me go to jason , please . ewen : you lied to me ! elizabeth : no , i -- ewen : you do n't believe me ! you believe him ! no ! elizabeth , no ! okay ?

johnny : same . you know , maybe it 's just psychosomatic . maybe this pathogen is n't dangerous at all , and it 's just jerry 's way of making us all think we 're sick , huh ? carly : yeah , but jerry does n't play tricks . he kills people . johnny : well ... there 's got to be some way out of this , huh ? some way to get that cure from jerry . i mean , now , at this point , i hope the cops just give him what he wants . carly : but if they do that , he wins . johnny : you know , none of that even matters . this wo n't be the end of us . carly : [ sighs ] mcbain : those cards may have been bad luck then , but they may lead us to the treatment now . any idea who has them ?

[ cell phone chimes ] alexis : come on . not again . the robinson deposition ? no wa -- julian : [ sighs ] carly : she does n't know that if franco finds out about us , he 's gon na go straight to michael and tell him that you killed aj ! sonny : kiki , like you , cares about the freak . i do n't think she 's gon na hurt franco . i - i - i do n't think she 's gon na say anything . carly : i wish i had your confidence . for all i know , kiki could be telling him as we speak . franco : hey , kiki . what are you doing here ? kiki : franco , i 'm here because i needed to see you . [ cell phone chimes ] julian : `` i ca n't reconsider . i ca n't be with you . `` no . no way . this is n't over . sam : okay . thanks , spinelli . i - i really appreciate it . just contact me if you find anything else , even though nothing has worked so far . okay , i appreciate it . bye . [ groans ] alexis : i take it there 's no progress with rafe 's case ? sam : no , it is beyond frustrating . whoever contacted rafe did one hell of a job covering their tracks . even spinelli , who can hack into fbi files in like 20 minutes , ca n't figure it out . alexis : how does someone disappear so thoroughly ? sam : i do n't know , mom . i do n't know . i was even able to get ahold of rafe 's drug dealer , and nothing . i got absolutely nothing out of him . alexis : so , what about rafe 's friends ? sam : well , i mean , he really did n't have any besides molly and tj , which he barely even spoke to them . but the few that i did contact , they did n't even know where he lived , let alone any of his secrets . alexis : that is really sad . listen , you 've been working really hard on this . you have done the best that you can . sam : i have , mom , but it 's not enough . rafe deserved better . patrick deserves better . he deserves to know who talked rafe into running his family off the road , especially since he helped me looked for answers about nina clay . rosalie : you finally met ava jerome . did you scratch her eyeballs out ? is there blood under your nails ? whoa . what 's this ? nina : what does it look like ? can you read ? rosalie : yes , i can read . it 's from crichton - clark . nina : right . silas found it in rafe 's stuff . how do you think it got in there ? rosalie : rafe and i did n't have very many bonding moments . nina : i 'm asking if the card is yours . rosalie : no . when you were in that clinic , i had n't even met you yet . nina : but you had all my doctored files just in case silas got nosy . rosalie : of course . nina : maybe the card fell out of one of the files . rosalie : no . no , i 've never seen that card before in my life . nina : how did rafe get it ? rosalie : how should i know ? sabrina : did you and sam find out anything else about the accident ? patrick : i have n't seen sam yet today . i just came by the hospital to check and see how my appeal for reinstatement was going , and , i , uh , i went and talked to dr. clay . sabrina : how did that go ? patrick : well , it was good . we were civil to each other . he actually says that , uh , he hopes i get my job back . sabrina : oh , well , i 'm glad he stopped blaming you for something that was absolutely not your fault . patrick : right . sabrina : did he say anything else about rafe ? patrick : he said he might have found something in rafe 's belongings that could be a clue . sabrina : what ? what did he find ? patrick : it 's a business card from crichton - clark clinic . sabrina : never heard of it . patrick : it 's a high - end private facility . it 's actually where i was when i ran into robin . ava : [ sighs ] hi . i never thought i could be so happy to be home . julian : what happened ? you strike out with franco ? ava : he totally blew me off . that deluded fool refused to help me nail sonny . he 's convinced that his relationship with carly is solid . julian : but you did say that franco moved in with her ? ava : every time sonny snaps his finger , carly goes running . franco is a distant second . he just does n't see it . julian : love is blind . i guess that rule even applies to psychos . ava : i just do n't know what i 'm gon na do . the boss did order me to kill michael . julian : and you also promised information on sonny instead . ava : but franco wo n't get that recording of sonny killing aj for me . i ca n't deliver on what i promised . so what if that luke spencer look - alike retaliates by going after kiki ? franco : kiki , look , if you 're feeling verbally reluctant , something i 've been working on with the patients here at the hospital is getting them to express themselves through art . i mean , you would be amazed at how simple it is to get something out of your system . when you have a paintbrush in your hand , things that you ca n't or wo n't say , they just pour right out of you . kiki : no , no . no , thank you . i can say this . it just wo n't be easy . sonny : carly , it 's out of your hands . you did everything to make kiki understand . now you just hope she does n't , you know , go to franco and -- and tell him about us . carly : no us , okay ? there is no us . there ca n't be an us , all right ? kiki did not promise to keep her mouth shut , sonny . we have no idea what she 's gon na do . she could be telling franco . sonny : then whatever happens , it 's on kiki , not you . carly : i did n't convince her . sonny : what do you mean , you did n't -- carly : no , i did n't convince her that it was over between us . she did n't believe me . but it 's the truth , you know , because nothing can happen between us again . this is over , and it ca n't happen ... again . sonny . we ca n't . we ca n't do this , because we have to stay focused on -- sonny : i get it . i get it . carly : ... dante and lulu and everything that 's going on with our family right now . sonny : look , i 'm as worried . my son 's out there . my daughter - in - law , your cousin . i do n't like that -- that kiki overheard , because i know it makes you feel worse . carly : it does . sonny : and i kissed you because , you know ... i was just trying -- trying to make you feel better , that 's all . carly : sonny . i got to get out of here . i got to go . i got to go . i ca n't do this . i 'm sorry . kiki : i wanted to tell you that i went to see carly . franco : you do n't say . [ chuckles ] i - i - i wondered . you know , i was calling her , and she was n't picking up . she was with you . okay . where were you ? franco : you and carly were getting a drink ? you were getting your nails done ? what ? kiki , where were you ? carly : kiki , it was a mistake , a huge lapse in judgment , that 's never going to happen again . but if franco finds out , it 's gon na end everything between us . promise me you wo n't tell franco . franco : kiki . why is it so hard for you to say ? you were at some secret location ? kiki : well -- [ sighs ] okay , so i was with carly , but it was n't on purpose . i ... i went somewhere to go meet up with michael , but michael was n't there . carly was , and she was with sonny . carly : kiki . shawn : you get any word from dante and lulu ? sonny : well , last i heard , dante and his partner , uh , got a fix on max -- maxie and lulu 's location . they 're gon na get back up , and they 're gon na go there . that 's all i know . shawn : you want me to see if i can find out anything ? sonny : no , i got -- um , max is already on it . morgan and , uh , michael , too . shawn : morgan was here ? sonny : yeah . and , uh , it was n't the only one . hell of a thing . in the middle of this , uh , michael 's girlfriend walks in here , and ... carly and i are alone . sabrina : what would robin have to do with the accident that killed gabriel ? patrick : robin 's working for a very dangerous man . everything that i told you about jason morgan and robin 's effort to try and revive him , that 's completely top secret . she was n't supposed to tell me any of that , and she did . so i 'm thinking maybe he had something to do with trying to run us off the road in order to keep me quiet . sabrina : you really think so ? patrick : i do n't know for sure , but he could have done it to even try and keep robin in line . sabrina : as what ? some sort of warning to force her to cooperate ? patrick : maybe . i mean , i do n't know . maybe not . robin did say that she was there on her own free will , but i can only imagine that the guy that she 's working for was pretty pissed when he found out that i knew all that information . maybe he 's trying to keep me quiet . sabrina : patrick , i think you 're way off course here . julian : i 'm gon na smooth things over with the boss . ava : how ? julian : well , i was supposed to kill you , and i put him off . come on . you know me , sis . i 'm good in a crisis . ava : since when are you so decent to me ? julian : well , let 's face it . you are , uh , a bit of a mess right now . you really do n't know if morgan or sonny is the father of your baby . sonny 's after you . and to make matters worse , you jumped from the frying pan into the fire when you got in with my boss , who i am learning to hate with a burning passion . ava : who would n't ? he 's evil , and he 's got us both in a stranglehold . julian : well , see ? there you go . we have a common enemy now . so we need to stick together against him , make sure he does n't hurt other people we love . so , i will do my best to take care of your situation , and you just take care of that little niece or nephew of mine , will you ? ava : why , julian , i do think my baby is bringing out the best in you . julian : what can i say ? despite everything ... we are still family . ava : [ voice breaking ] thank you . julian : are those tears from your crazy hormones or are you really that grateful ? ava : no , i just ... i just had a really bad day . franco : why ? because of franco ? ava : yeah , but not just him . [ clears throat ] julian : who else ? ava : nina clay . nina : i find it odd that rafe would have a card from the clinic where i was treated . rosalie : does it matter ? he 's dead now . nina : yes , but sam and patrick drake are investigating that first crash . rosalie : yeah , we had nothing to do with that , so who cares if they investigate it or not ? nina : i 'm just curious . rosalie : okay , forget about the investigation . how long are you gon na keep me in suspense about ava ? what happened between you and the slut ? nina : oh . [ chuckles ] rosalie , it was so uncomfortable . so uncomfortable . for her ! [ laughs ] i loved watching her squirm . rosalie : oh , my gosh . did you let her have it ? i would have slapped her silly . nina : i wanted to do more , but she 's pregnant . i did n't want to do anything to harm her little baby . alexis : you just said that patrick went with you to try to find out stuff about nina clay . sam : yes . that 's what i said . patrick went to crichton - clark clinic with me . alexis : a clinic ? sam : yes . a clinic . that 's where nina was treated for her coma for all those years . actually , i 'd already been there . silas and i went , but nina was already gone . alexis : that 's because nina 's mother said she was dead . sam : yeah . and since none of that was adding up , i was trying to figure out if there was something else in her medical records that just did n't add up . alexis : and -- and how does patrick fit in ? sam : oh , um , well , patrick went as a visiting doctor , and i , of course , went as his nurse . we tried to double - team the administrator so i could hack into the records . alexis : there 's just so many illegal acts in that little sentence . sam : hey , mom , do n't go lawyer on me right now . alexis : yeah , because as -- as just your mother , i would n't have any problem with you breaking into a private medical facility and going through a patient 's private records . sam : yeah , which is exactly why i did n't tell you . alexis : okay . okay . so , what were you trying to find ? sam : i do n't know . there 's just so many little things about nina that do n't add up . alexis : i 'm not buying that for one second . you have a theory . spill it . sam : okay . yes , i do . i have a theory . i am convinced that nina heard silas and i on the roof when i was telling silas that patrick considered letting rafe die on the table . i saw security footage , and there was someone definitely eavesdropping . alexis : you saw nina in the footage ? sam : no , no . i - i did n't say that . i did n't exactly see nina , but i - i saw someone . you could n't see their face because of the way the cameras were positioned , but if you ask me , it was her . alexis : so , she 's in a wheelchair . how the hell did she get up the staircase ? sam : because i do n't think she needs one . franco : speak of the devil . we were just talking about you . carly : oh . franco : yeah , kiki said that she ran into you today , but she did n't say where . i could n't reach you , and , well , i was curious . but she 's having a hard time sharing that information . but you 're here now . you can solve the mystery . carly : oh . franco : where were you , carly ? shawn : kiki jerome walked in when you and carly -- sonny : not -- not -- it was bad , but not that bad . she just overheard us talking about things , and now she -- she knows that carly and i slept together . shawn : yeah , that 's bad . sonny : and her and franco are tight . shawn : you think she 's gon na spill the beans ? sonny : well , i do n't care if she blows up carly and franco , 'cause i want carly away from franco so bad , i ca n't tell you . but she feels bad because she 's cheating on him , and if franco finds out , then he 's gon na retaliate . and he 's gon na tell michael that i killed aj . shawn : come on , man . look , you sure you do n't want me to take franco out ? everyone would be better off , and all of your problems would be solved . alexis : so , you think nina 's been faking it the whole time and she can really walk ? sam : yes , i do . she wants silas to feel like she 's helpless so he 's compelled to care for her , and that 's exactly what 's happening . alexis : you just want to get the proof to silas . sam : i know . i know . it 's foolish , mom . it is . but i still care about him . i think he 's a good man , and i think he deserves to know that he 's being duped by his wife . but guess what ? i was n't able to prove anything , so ... it 's the end of that . alexis : it does n't look to me like it 's the end of that . looks like you 're not ready to let go . sam : [ sighs ] mom , i still care about him a lot . i really do . but he is with nina . i could n't stay with him as long as he was still married . he did n't leave me a choice . i had to let him go . and i think that 's exactly how nina planned it . nina : ava lost her mind when i touched it . she has no right to be so selfish . rosalie : but , nina , you were n't touching her baby . you were touching ava . you were touching her stomach . nina : yeah ! i was touching her stomach ! i lost silas ' baby ! she got to carry their bastard child to full term ! she got to love it , hold it , and be loved in return ! how amazing would that be ? ! amazing ! to have a little creature who loves you unconditionally and depends on you . i want that , ro . i want that so bad . rosalie : yeah . yeah , i know you do . that 's why you need to figure out if you can still have children . nina : i saw my cousin today . i had an appointment with my cousin . rosalie : ooh . nathan / james ? nina : okay , first of all , james is my brother . he is not my cousin . and why would i need an appointment with james ? get with the program . rosalie : so , who was it with ? nina : it was with britt , james ' sister . his sister , okay ? she 's an ob / gyn . she gave me an examination . do you know what the quack said ? rosalie : no . nina : that i ca n't have kids . ava : ever since i found out that silas ' feeble wife was alive and in town , i 've dreaded running into her . but it was even worse than i imagined . julian : well , you did sleep with her husband . she must hate you . so what 's the surprise ? ava : no . no , it was more than the `` wronged wife `` routine . she was very strange and much too interested in my baby . julian : well , um , how so ? ava : she touched me . i mean , she touched my belly , both hands , without asking . she just did it . julian : some people do that . ava : no . [ scoffs ] not like this . she 's very strange . very weird . and to top off my day from hell , i had an even weirder run - in with sabrina santiago . patrick : why do you think that ? sabrina : rafe was living with dr. clay and his wife . card must have gotten mixed up in his things . patrick : yeah , i know , i mean , silas and i talked about that , but nina said the card was n't hers . and silas was gon na ask rosalie , nina 's nurse , if the card belonged to her . sabrina : well , then that 's it . the nurse had the card , and rafe ended up with it . it 's irrelevant . patrick : what makes you so sure about that ? patrick : is there something you know that you 're not telling me ? sabrina : of course not . patrick : why are you so convinced that there 's no connection between rafe and a business card from the clinic where robin 's working right now ? sabrina : it 's only a business card . why waste your time investigating something so flimsy when we 're looking for answers about something so important ? i have to know who took our son from us . patrick : no , of course . i just , i do n't know . i have a feeling that this clinic is important . sabrina : what about sam ? you know , if you pursue this , you 're gon na have to tell sam that jason was alive and then that he died and she never knew . can you imagine what hearing that would do to her ? just let this go . patrick : i 'll think about it . julian : sabrina santiago , that harmless , little nurse that carlos was crazy about ? ava : i thought she was harmless , too . now i 'm not so sure . julian : god knows why . but you did convince sabrina 's ex to take a fall for a murder that sonny committed . ava : but she has no way of knowing that . she barely mentioned carlos . no , she still believes his cover story that he tried to rob the quartermaines to get away from us . julian : so , what 's the problem ? ava : well , she was intent on telling me about her baby , gabriel , and the accident that led to his death . julian : okay , so , uh , you 're pregnant . maybe she thought you 'd be sympathetic . ava : i am sympathetic ! the woman lost her baby , for god 's sake ! but she seemed to somehow be implying that i was responsible for the accident . she did n't -- she did n't say it outright , but she definitely suggested that perhaps i had silas ' nephew cause that accident . sonny : something else i need you to take care of , and her name is ava . shawn : ah . sonny : okay , i need -- i need to get her someplace where , you know , i can get her in hiding , you understand ? shawn : yeah , well , me and my guys have been watching her place around the clock . sonny : okay . her and her brother , you know , he 's gon na try to get her out of that penthouse and into hiding . and you know what ? she can -- she can go someplace and disappear with the baby . and then i ca n't do to her what she did to connie . shawn : well , ava 's hardly gone out at all . i mean , until today . sonny : she was out in the open ? shawn : we could n't make a move . i mean , two guys have been with her the whole time , and all the other guys were at the hospital watching the entrance . sonny : wait , wait , wait , wait . ava was at general hospital ? she had an appointment ? shawn : no , no . i mean , her doctor comes to her these days . sonny : so , was it about the baby ? shawn : not at all . she did n't have any tests done . it 's all good . sonny : okay , then what was she doing there ? shawn : she ran into silas clay 's wife and sabrina santiago . now , neither seemed to be intentional , but the person she seemed to be there to see was franco . carly : i was at the metro court . kiki : right , i already told franco that i was looking for michael when i ran into you . carly : yes . we 're all eager for news about lulu and maxie , you know , especially since dante and his partner went off to look for them . franco : right . any updates ? carly : no . no . and michael 's concerned , very concerned . you know , he 's always concerned about his family , and it 's been days since we 've gotten any word . so , you know , it 's terrible . it 's really terrible . kiki : yeah , it really is . it 's a really terrible situation . carly : yeah . kiki : well , i 'm hoping that michael will call with good news , obviously , and you 'll let me know if you hear anything ? carly : absolutely . franco : yeah . hey , um ... look , i 'm not sure why you came here or what it is that you wanted to talk about , but ... it 's always nice to see you . kiki : you take care of yourself . franco : [ laughs ] that was weird . what was that ? carly : i do n't know . franco : she was acting really strangely , right ? any idea why ? rosalie : nina , i 'm so sorry . nina : what are you sorry about ? britt 's wrong . she said that i ca n't have kids because i 'm in menopause . rosalie : well , i tried to warn you that being in that coma could have messed up your insides . nina : oh , wow , thank you ! thank you for your expert opinion . i really appreciate it . you 're wrong ! wrong ! and so is britt , cousin or not ! i do n't care what she says ! and can you believe that she had the audacity to tell me that i needed to see a shrink to deal with the news ? can you believe that ? rosalie : no . no , not at all . what on earth would have given her the idea that you need psychiatric care ? nina : exactly . exactly . anyone can see i 'm as sane as the next person ! and now i know what i 'm gon na do . rosalie : i ca n't even imagine what that 's gon na be . nina : i 'm gon na prove britt and everybody else wrong . rosalie : how ? nina : i 'm gon na have a child . alexis : i 'm sorry you 're hurting about silas . sam : thank you , mom . alexis : if it makes you feel any better , i 'm in the same dilemma with your father . sam : oh ? alexis : he wo n't leave the business , so i had to leave him . sam : wait a minute . i thought that was temporary and you were just doing that for molly . i really -- i kind of like you guys together . alexis : me , too . but like with silas , it 's -- it 's not enough . sam : i 'm sorry , mom . alexis : we 're a great pair , are n't we ? sam : [ laughs ] yeah . we 're fantastic . alexis : not easy . i 'm tempted to go back every five seconds , i will admit that , because he 's texting me every three seconds . [ cell phone chimes ] sam : he is ? alexis : look at this . he 's doing it again . sam : right now ? alexis : `` i miss you . come back . reconsider . `` sam : oh , mom . how can you deny that ? he 's texting you . alexis : he 's annoying that way . alexis : we 're definitely not chick flicks and ice cream . but we do need to figure out a way to move on . sam : yeah . do you have any suggestions ? alexis : we need to find new men . carly : maybe she 's just worried , you know , about michael . and -- and i was n't avoiding you earlier . i - i was n't . things just got really chaotic with -- with dante now after lulu , and morgan was freaking out . franco : carly , stop . stop . i was n't checking up on you . no more crazy freak- outs . i 'm done with that , okay ? i 'm good . we 're good . i know that . i know we 're good . carly : yeah ? thanks . franco : yeah . and i 'm so sorry what 's going on with lulu . i know you 're concerned about her . carly : and maxie . franco : and maxie . carly : i know dante and detective west will find them . i 've just really never been good at waiting around , so ... franco : well , you do n't have to wait alone . carly : no ? franco : no . i 'm here . carly : i know . franco : yeah . carly : yeah . franco : can we go home , please ? all i really want is to be alone with you . sabrina : you have quite a life , do n't you , miss jerome ? kiki : excuse me . nurse santiago ? i do n't know if you remember me . i 'm kiki jerome . i performed with felix in the nurses ' ball . i heard about what happened to your baby . rafe kovich was my cousin , and i just ... i wanted you to know how sorry i am . sabrina : thank you . kiki : how are you doing ? sabrina : i 'm getting by . in fact , i saw your mother here before . she said how sorry she was , too . kiki : she did ? oh , i 'm sure she did . of course . sabrina : yes , of course . is n't it crazy how the world works ? your mother 's having a baby , and i lost mine . julian : you have to admit that sabrina 's suspicion is n't out of the realm of possibility . ava : really , julian , why would i go after a pregnant girl ? julian : uh , to convince carlos to take the rap for aj quartermaine 's murder ? ava : do you honestly think i would do that ? with patrick drake in the car and his little girl , as well . julian : yes . ava : okay . it did occur to me . i even had somebody standing by if carlos did n't stick to the script and confess . julian : so it was you . ava : it was n't . it was somebody else . it was just perfect timing . i convinced carlos that i masterminded the crash , and he confessed to shooting aj . julian : [ chuckles ] why would you want carlos to do that in the first place ? why would you want to protect sonny ? sonny : what was ava doing with -- i just do n't know . what was -- what was she doing with him ? shawn : my guys could n't get close enough to hear them , you know ? sonny : i do n't like that those two are putting their heads together . just , it -- it 's trouble . shawn : probably . sonny : i got to get ava somewhere where i can control her . shawn : look , i 'm on it , okay ? i got a plan on getting past their security , get in their apartment , and grab ava . i just need to work out a couple of details . i 'll let you know when everything 's in place . sonny : i know i can count on you . you just got to make sure you can not put that baby in danger . nina : show me how to goggle baby equipment . rosalie : what ? nina : i need baby supplies . rosalie : oh . [ chuckles ] uh , it 's google , not goggle . nina : like that makes any more sense . whatever . i just need stuff . babies need stuff . i need to be prepared . rosalie : nina , what if your cousin 's right ? how are you gon na have a baby if no matter what you think of the doctor , there 's a good chance that you ca n't ? nina : have you learned nothing ? there 's no such word as `` ca n't . `` do you think that ava 's having a boy or a girl ? rosalie : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . wait a second . what exactly are you saying ? nina : just wondering . rosalie : nina , you 're not planning on stealing that woman 's baby , are you ? ava : if i 'm right and sabrina was implying that i was responsible for that crash , why would she think that ? would carlos have said something ? julian : i do n't think carlos would talk . ava : maybe not . but he might . julian : yeah , well , on the other hand , you did screw the guy over . you , uh , threatened his pregnant girlfriend , and you coerced him to confess to a murder he did n't commit . i can see how that can wear on someone , get them to say more than they ever intended . ava : i 'm not proud of what i did to carlos . i was desperate . julian : i know . i 'm sorry . anyway , who cares what some nurse may or may not suspect ? right now , you 've got bigger problems to worry about . ava : oh . well , thank you . that 's -- no , you 're really -- you 're quite a comfort . julian : thanks . i try . ava : why do you keep looking at your phone ? you 're not expecting a call from the boss , are you ? julian : um , not tonight , thank god . ava : one of your kids , then ? julian : that would be nice , but no . ava : oh . must be alexis . alexis : that 's it . the only way to get over the men we ca n't have is to go after men that we can have . sam : whoop , whoop . alexis : you know that song -- and i 'm not gon na sing -- if you ca n't be with the one you love ... sam : then love the one you 're with . i know . i get it . but you know what , mom ? it took me so long -- so long -- to get over jason , and i put all of my trust into silas . i do n't think i can ever do that again . alexis : you took a big step with silas . you did . you -- you moved on . sam : yes . yes , mom , i did . silas made me realize it was okay to still love jason and have room in my heart to love somebody else . alexis : which is a good thing , right ? it is . i 'm not gon na watch you walk through your life alone . sam : i 'm fine , really . alexis : [ sighs ] sam : what ? alexis : patrick is nice . sam : oh ! alexis : no , he is . you guys have a really nice rapport , and -- and you seem to work well together , and he 's ending his marriage . sam : no . alexis : oh , yes . he 's getting over robin . you 're getting over silas . so you can get over things with each other . sam : patrick and i are just friends . alexis : that is a great way to start a relationship . sam : are you kidding me ? stop it . alexis : are you kidding me ? you telling me you have n't given that any thought at all ? sam : yes , i 'm telling you i have not -- [ knock on door ] sam : no . none . not a thought . there is absolutely nothing romantic going on between me and ... patrick . you shaved . sonny : when you gon na make your move ? shawn : well , my team has to move at the exact right time , okay , 'cause we 're only gon na have one chance to catch julian with his guard down . sonny : do n't take too long . shawn : absolutely not . franco : i 'm gon na spend all night trying to get you to forget about lulu and everything and everyone else . carly : that sounds good . all right . let 's get out of here , okay ? yeah . kiki : well , i 'm going to head out . i just wanted to let you know how terrible i feel about what my cousin did to you . sabrina : do n't worry about rafe . it is n't your fault your own flesh and blood was capable of killing a baby . julian : i get dibs on the sesame noodles . ava : oh , no , no . i 'm eating for two , remember ? julian : you already vetoed my movie choice . you got to give me something here . ava : that movie is nothing but machine guns and explosions . i do n't want my baby , your precious niece or nephew , exposed to that kind of violence . julian : you sound like alexis . violence is the dealbreaker . you got to laugh at the irony , though . this business gave me everything i wanted . except for what i want most . patrick : the loser has to do whatever the winner told him to do . sam : yes , and i wanted him to shave the beard . patrick : so , as of a few minutes ago , baby smooth . sam : wait a minute , wait a minute . minutes ? i thought you were supposed to shave immediately . i mean , i could have made you do it at the bar with a butter knife . patrick : i had to go take emma to school , and i had to go to the hospital . sam : excuses . patrick : hey , you just tell me , did i pass inspection or not ? sam : let me see . patrick : take a good look . sam : yeah , looks pretty good . patrick : good . sam : oh , is that the only reason why you came by ? patrick : um , well , no , not exactly . i wanted to check in with you , actually . did you , uh , find anything more about rafe ? sam : um , no . actually , i 've been working on it all day , and i 've just -- i 've been coming up empty . i mean , what -- what about you ? did you get any leads ? rosalie : nina , you 're not planning on doing something crazy , are you ? like stealing ava jerome 's baby ? nina : oh , my god . are you kidding me ? why would you say that to me ? talk about crazy . ro , you 're the one who needs to see the shrink . [ cell phone chimes ] julian : [ sighs ] ava : alexis ? julian : she finally answered me . hmm . alexis : [ sobs ] sam : so , did you find anything ? sabrina : what about sam ? you know , if you pursue this , you 're gon na have to tell sam that jason was alive and then that he died and she never knew . can you imagine what hearing that would do to her ? patrick : no . no , nothing . sam : okay , well , do n't worry , because i 'm gon na chase down any lead , no matter how small , until i figure out who tried to hurt you and your family . patrick : okay . do it together , right ? sam : together . patrick : [ chuckles ] good . sabrina : i know you did it . i know you killed my baby . and i 'm gon na make you pay . [ next_on ] silas : ( to sam ) i 'm surprised this is the first you 're hearing of it . rosalie : ( to nina ) you were hoping to run into your new boyfriend . emma : ( to patrick ) i wan na see mommy . spencer : this keeps getting worse and worse . kiki : ( to morgan ) i have a problem with your mother . michael : ( to carly and franco ) i know what 's been going on under your roof .

[ scene_break ] jason : sloane . sloane : jake doe . you 're the last person i expected to see here . jason : yeah , well , life is full of surprises . nikolas : what are you doing here ? sam : he 's gon na give you up for election tampering . [ scene_break ] olivia : believe me , i am open to any suggestions -- literally anything that will get leo back in my arms , back in port charles . but do you think it 's gon na be enough to fool julian ? or is he gon na realize that his son is alive , back in town , living right under his nose ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] maxie : happy wedding day ! hi . oh , what are those ? carly : oh , they 're from jake for luck . are n't they beautiful ? maxie : how does the groom feel about you getting flowers from another man on your wedding day ? carly : oh , i do n't need to worry about how sonny feels on this particular subject . [ chuckles ] maxie : it 's just that you guys have such a volatile relationship . i would hate for anything to derail this perfect wedding that i planned . carly : then you should not tell sonny that jake gave me flowers . what he does n't know wo n't cause a fight . [ chuckles ] maxie : carly , forgive me for ask -- carly : jake and i are just friends , nothing more . sonny knows about it . he does n't like it , but he 's agreed to live with it . maxie : okay . then here 's a thought . why do n't i move the flowers to the kitchen where nobody will see them and you do n't have to explain that you 're keeping a secret from the man you 're about to marry who 's unfortunately known for his bad temper and jealous nature ? carly : if it makes you feel better . maxie : it does . thank you . carly : [ chuckles ] maxie , you do n't have to worry about anything . sonny and i love each other . this wedding is everything we 've wanted , and to make it the most perfect day ever , both of our sons are gon na be there and they 're gon na watch us get married . wow . [ scene_break ] morgan : wow . you showed up . michael : that pitch you gave -- how could i refuse ? dante : good to see you . michael : you , too . so , where 's the groom ? dante : actually , i was just gon na ask you guys the same thing . morgan : uh , i do n't know . dad left . he said he had to take care of something . michael : what 's so important that sonny would cut out right before his wedding ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you asked to see me ? charlie : not me . the kid . and it was n't a request . you were supposed to come alone . sonny : i am . charlie : i know . i got friends outside . they 'd have called me if you had brought backup . sonny : i do n't need backup , charlie . that is your name , is n't it ? charlie ? you made a terrible mistake . but it is your lucky day , so i 'm gon na let you rectify it . you 're gon na untie tj . you 're gon na let us leave . if you do n't ... you 're gon na wish you never heard the name sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] michael : well , did sonny say where he was going ? morgan : no . he did n't . dante : did you ask him ? morgan : dude , i 've been -- okay . i have n't been thinking right . i got pretty polluted last night , so it 's a miracle i 'm even standing up here right now . dante : all right , dude . look , i 'm not accusing you of anything . i 'm just trying to find out what happened . morgan : i do n't know . he got a call . he was on the phone for a few minutes , said he had to take care of something . he said , you know , he 'd be back before the ceremony , so i did n't push him on it . maybe i should have pushed him on it . i do n't know . michael : if sonny wanted you to know where he was going , i 'm sure he would have told you . morgan : wait , dante . you do n't think dad 's in trouble ? dante : right now , i 'm less worried about sonny than i am about the guy who crossed him . [ scene_break ] sonny : how you doing , tj ? tj : i 'm so sorry , mr. corin -- sonny : you got nothing to be sorry about . it 's charlie who 's making the situation worse , and if he does n't wise up , he 's gon na end up killed . charlie : you are in no position to make any threats . sonny : i 'm not ? charlie : you come unarmed ? sonny : hey , look . i got nothing . see ? i complied . 'cause i rarely use a gun . that 's -- i got people for that . charlie : yeah , well , they 're not here , are they ? sonny : yeah , but you think that makes me helpless ? are you stupid ? ! yes , you are . you hijacked my trucks . you shot one of my men . you 're not bright enough to know that you would be safer in police custody ? charlie : oh , i 'm safe right where i 'm standing . sonny : and then you screw yourself even worse by grabbing tj and tying him up , a fine young man who 's under my protection . are you so stupid that you do n't know that your own boss is risking your life ? ! charlie : why do n't you shut the hell up ? sonny : you getting nervous ? you getting nervous , charlie , huh ? you a little nervous ? right ? well , you better be , 'cause your boss went to a lot of trouble to set this up . and now he 's leaving you twisting . he does n't even show his own face . tell julian to come now ! [ scene_break ] olivia : ned , you will never believe who i just ran into . [ chuckles ] julian jerome . yeah . that 's right . exactly . exactly . so , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go now . bye . julian . julian : ooh ! olivia : i almost did n't recognize you without alexis on your arm . julian : yeah , well , i hardly recognize myself , but alexis had to -- had to take a trip out of town to visit her daughter kristina . olivia : left you all by your lonesome , huh ? julian : well , what can i say ? she needed some mother / daughter time . olivia : right . julian : i 've been at a loss of what to do with myself , so i took a walk down here , and there you go . olivia : oh . julian : what brings you two down here ? i like your shirt , buddy . olivia : oh , i was just pulling some babysitting duty . my -- my grandson and i were perambulating while his parents are at a wedding . julian : oh . olivia : sonny and carly are tying the knot again . [ scene_break ] carly : i said all along that michael was coming to my wedding , and i was right . he 's coming . maxie : i do n't think i have any missed calls . no . did you text me ? carly : should i have ? maxie : it 's -- it 's the wedding day . i mean , we are hours away from the ceremony . it is so late to be adding a guest , two if michael brings sabrina . you did n't tell him he has a plus - one , did you ? it does n't matter . we might not have enough space . carly : uh , yes , we do . are you kidding ? this is a dream come true . michael 's coming to my wedding . maxie : but -- but he did n't rsvp . this is just not done . carly : says who ? maxie : every wedding - etiquette book ever written . carly : okay . i do n't care what some book says . the guest in question is my son , and he 's going to be there . and you can handle this . maxie : okay . fine . i just need to add two settings . i might have to add a table . carly : okay . maxie : why are you not dressed yet ? carly : because i have plenty of time . maxie : no , we are -- we 're running on a schedule . you should be shimmying into that dress right now . bobbie : where is she ? lulu : whoo ! bobbie : we 're here ! ready to make an honest woman out of you ! lulu : again ! [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] jordan : so , sloane and nikolas cassadine fixed the election for mayor lomax . anna : mm - hmm . i always knew that she did n't win office on the strength of her campaign . jordan : i know . you wanted to investigate it , but i thought you ran into a dead end . anna : let 's just say that i can guarantee sloane can put nikolas and lomax in the same room with the missing ballot box . and they obviously secured his cooperation by offering him the place of police commissioner . jordan : yeah , and now i 'm the police commissioner . anna : i know . this puts you in a difficult position because lomax appointed you . i get that . jordan : no , no , no . i - i am not a fan of the mayor . let 's get that straight . we 're barely talking ever since she forced me to go after tj for a crime that he did n't even commit . so , you know what ? if going after this case means my ouster , then i will live with that . anna : no . no . you are a credit to the badge , and that is why i trust you to see this through . jordan : hold on just a second here . lomax fired sloane . so unless we have corroborating evidence , then it 's gon na be the word of a disgruntled employee against lomax , a - a sitting mayor , a - and nikolas cassadine , who 's a pillar of the community . anna : that 's why sloane is working to snare nikolas right now . [ scene_break ] jason : we know you rigged the election for lomax , with sloane 's help over here . sam : yeah , you wanted proof ? there 's your proof . jason : as i understand it , election tampering -- that 's a federal crime , right ? sam : yes , it is , so you do have a choice . you can go to prison or you can give elq back to michael . [ scene_break ] maxie : where is josslyn ? she better not be putting on that corn costume ! carly : she 's with jax . they 're surf camping , and they 'll be mia for another week . lulu : oh , translation -- carly 's ex hates sonny so much , he would n't let his daughter be a part of the wedding . valerie : that 's outrageous . carly : i 'm standing here . lulu : sorry . carly : and it 's fine . josslyn and jax are having a great time , and she wanted to stay , so i said yes . maxie : wait , so josslyn and lucas are n't coming . that clears up space for michael and sabrina . crisis averted . carly : yes ! bobbie : [ gasps ] michael 's coming ? carly : yes ! yes , he is ! and it 's the best wedding present i could ever have . [ scene_break ] michael : is this about the guy who hijacked sonny 's trucks ? dante : yeah . he was released earlier today . michael : why would they -- why would they do that ? wait . did n't he make a confession ? dante : yeah , and he used it to cut a deal . ric let him go in exchange for his cooperation in building a case against jerome . michael : why would n't ric insist he stay in protective custody ? dante : the guy , charlie heineck , wanted to leave , and ric let him go . he 's getting pressure from the mayor , because she wants to take down julian and get the headlines and use that to strengthen her campaign for governor . michael : there 's no case against julian without a witness , and by now , that witness is either -- either across state lines or he 's six feet under in the marshlands . dante : [ clears throat ] michael : how -- how could ric let this happen ? unless he 's -- he 's double- crossing sonny . dante : well , i would n't put that past him . look , we got guys looking for this charlie guy , okay ? let me make a call , see if we can find out about his whereabouts . michael : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : can we hurry this up ? i got a prior engagement . when should i expect julian to show up ? charlie : who says i work for julian ? sonny : you . you gave the police a statement saying that you hijacked my trucks and julian gave the order . charlie : yeah , well , how could i resist ? had your bro , the da waiting in the wings , ready to send me on my way , back out doing business . sonny : and what is that ? why go to all this trouble ? what does julian want ? [ scene_break ] julian : how many trips down the aisle does this make for sonny and carly ? olivia : [ sighs ] or who keeps count ? you know , i think -- i think they 're determined to make this one stick , and i -- and i think maybe , you know -- maybe they will . julian : you 're not upset that she stole your man ? olivia : sonny is my first love . he 's dante 's father . that is all he is . julian : well , you two were together again not too long ago . olivia : yes , and i think i finally learned my lesson that i do n't have the stomach to hitch along for the kind of life that sonny leads . julian : and , uh , carly does ? olivia : carly does n't worry herself about things that do n't concern her . i think she knows sonny better than anybody , and she knows that his business is part of the package . you should understand that , julian . is n't that how it works with you and alexis ? julian : [ chuckles ] not anymore . i , uh , quit the business . olivia : right . well , i 'll be seeing you . julian : uh , olivia ... we 're not quite done . [ scene_break ] jordan : i would n't mind taking a crack at nikolas cassadine . i was set to net him for corporate espionage after he took over at elq , but then , you know , the whole case collapsed when his assistant , rosalie , recanted on her story , so ... anna : oh , well , probably under pressure from nikolas , no doubt . jordan : what do you need from me ? anna : i need for you to arrange immunity for kyle . he has to be protected from prosecution . jordan : kyle ? anna : well , that 's his name . kyle sloane . jordan : yeah . it 's quite a limb you 're going out on for kyle . the last i heard , the two of you were , uh , adversaries at best . is there anything that i should be apprised of before i put the full force of the pcpd behind his accusations ? anna : all right . before i left town , kyle and i had an encounter . jordan : of what kind ? anna : we slept together . [ scene_break ] sam : this is a no - brainer . return elq to michael and the rest of the quartermaines or go to prison . nikolas : do your worst , sam . elq is mine . now please leave . sam : okay . all right . fine . nikolas had his chance . sloane , why do n't you tell the rest of us what you told anna -- that you and nikolas are partners in crime ? sloane : yes . that 's true . [ scene_break ] jordan : so , how did you go from butting heads with sloane to sleeping with him ? anna : oh , god . that 's a question i 've been asking myself ever since i woke up in bed with him . jordan : anna , he did n't -- he did n't take advantage of you ? anna : oh , no , no , no , no , no . please . nothing like that . no . jordan : okay . anna : thank you for your concern , though . jordan : well , you know , forgive me for asking , but , uh ... were you drunk ? anna : [ laughs ] yeah . oh , no . i mean , alcohol was involved , but we knew what we were doing . in fact , to be truthful , my relationship with him has been evolving over quite some time . and by the time that that happened , we were no longer at odds , obviously . um ... and once we had joined forces , that bluster that he hides behind -- he kind of dropped that , and he revealed to me this whole other side of his personality . and i - i realized he was someone that i could rely on , especially after duke 's death . i turned to him in ways i could n't turn to anyone else . and then , you know , the night before i went away , we had drinks together , and ... jordan : so , are you two ... together now or -- or what ? anna : or what . no . i would like something else , but ... that 's not gon na happen . jordan : why not ? [ scene_break ] jason : fine . he admits that you two were working together . let 's just bring this to the commissioner . she can come back for nikolas . sam : nikolas , we 're not bluffing . this is your last chance . please return elq and walk away . nikolas : sam , i 've given you my answer . jason : okay , let 's go to the station , give your statement to the police . let 's go . sloane : not gon na happen . jason : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : i really should be going . julian : oh , this will just , uh , take a moment . i promise . olivia : [ sighs ] for what ? julian : well , to clear the air . olivia : i am breathing just fine . thanks very much . julian : well , not to hear alexis tell it . olivia : what is that supposed to mean ? julian : well , she told me what happened between you two the other day -- you know , what happened after your son arrested me on false charges . olivia : oh , uh , false charges ? julian : mm - hmm . olivia : were they false charges ? 'cause , see , the way i understand it , you 're out on bail pending trial . and regardless of how that trial goes , my son was doing his job . so if you 're done insulting my son and rocco 's father , rocco and i are just gon na take off . julian : whoa , whoa , whoa . that was not my intention . olivia : well , that 's really what it sounded like to me . julian : i was simply stating that i 'm innocent . olivia : well , your flunky is telling the cops something different . julian : that guy is n't my flunky , since i do n't have any flunkies . olivia : uh - huh . so , he 's just some random guy making stuff up ? what ? julian : well , you know , people lie all the time . you should know that more than anyone . [ scene_break ] bobbie : carly , i am so glad that michael will be there today ! carly : me , too . and sonny is gon na be over the moon . [ laughter ] maxie : he will be until he thinks he 's been stood up because his bride is so late . we need to get this moving . lulu : ooh , in that case , we should do the presents . maxie : no ! no , no , no ! dressing , primping , leaving . that 's the plan . bobbie : maxie , relax . it 's a wedding , not a missile launch . i 'm sure sonny will wait as long as it takes . [ laughter ] maxie : okay , fine . presents and then we go get ready . oh , my god ! i 'll go first . [ sighs ] [ laughter ] carly : all right . maxie : something new . carly : aww . thank you . maxie : well , valerie and i were going through your jewelry the other day to find some appropriate accessories to go with your look , and we could n't find anything that worked , which was surprising considering all the times you 've ... ... gotten jewelry . [ chuckling ] maxie : so , i was walking by a store -- uh , not wyndam 's -- and i saw this in the window . i thought it would look good , so i made the call . carly : oh , maxie . it 's beautiful . so extravagant . [ laughs ] maxie : do n't worry . i put it on sonny 's tab . carly : [ laughs ] maxie ! oh , my god . i love it . i love it . thank you so much . valerie : something borrowed . carly : [ gasps ] it 's lovely , valerie . valerie : it was my mother 's and her mother 's before her . bobbie : [ gasps ] oh . mama used to wear that cross every day . she gave that to patricia on her 16th birthday . carly : i am honored to wear something that belonged to lena and patricia . thank you . bobbie : you know , carly , luke was right about one thing . it 's uncanny how much you look like your grandmother . and now you 'll be wearing her cross . [ chuckles ] valerie : it 's engraved with her initials . bit of spencer history to draw all of the generations together on your special day . carly : it 's beautiful . thank you so much . thank you . lulu ! something blue . [ laughs ] you know , this is not a traditional wedding . we 're not gon na have the deejay calling all the single men on the floor to catch it . lulu : oh , trust me . you will thank me . i know that a garter 's kind of cliché , but i wore one to my wedding , and dante sure liked taking it off me . carly : nice . [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] dante : any sign of charlie heineck yet ? check pier 24 . jerome 's got his hangout there . hey , could you , uh , do me a favor and keep an eye out for my father ? thanks . no , no , no . nothing -- nothing serious . not yet . morgan : dad , hey . why is your phone off ? call me right away . all right . michael : he 's not picking up ? morgan : no , he 's not . oh . thank you . michael : oy . morgan : um ... i just want to say that dad would really be pleased if he knew that you were here . did you tell mom that you were here ? michael : i stopped at her house first . morgan : was she excited ? michael : yeah , she was hoping i 'd show up . um , i 'm -- i 'm glad to support her , but , um , i showed up for you . morgan : thanks . look , i know i was , uh -- i was pretty messed up that night , but i did n't mean to guilt you into coming here today . michael : no . no , you did n't . you did n't . i - i know you 're worried about mom and sonny , seeing them , but , uh ... now i just want you to know that i have your back . morgan : that means a lot . thanks . michael : yeah . so , um ... what happened to you ? when i dropped you off at mom 's , i thought you were done for the night . how did you end up here with this bad of a hangover ? morgan : well , i mean , i stayed out all night . the night was young , so , you know , i had too much to drink , and instead of going home , i just came straight here . michael : so , how did sonny react when he saw you ? morgan : [ chuckles ] honestly , mikey , he was amazing . i mean , he -- he let me say what i had to say , and then he talked me down . you know , he made me -- he made me see that things did n't have to be as bad as they felt and that maybe there was a way out . michael : well , i 'm glad sonny came through for you . morgan : you 're the one who said it . you did last summer . you remember when alice was in the hospital , dad showed up , i was all pissed at him ? you remember that ? you told me that -- that dad was never gon na give up on me , no matter what . yeah , well , he 's not gon na give up on you , either . michael : yeah . well , i know , uh , a lot more now than i did last summer . morgan : you have every right to be mad at dad forever if you want to , but the guy still loves you , you know ? it 's like you said that summer . if dad loves somebody , he goes to the mat for them , no matter what , even if they keep pushing him away . [ scene_break ] sonny : stop wasting my time and get julian out here . charlie : [ scoffs ] you 're not in charge here , corinthos . sonny : neither are you , 'cause you 're just a middle man . except we got a problem . either julian got caught in traffic or he 's gon na have an excuse why he did n't show up , which is something he always does . because he 's a -- you know , i do n't want to call him a coward , but i do n't have another way to describe him . [ sighs ] okay , let - let 's go back to my original offer . what you need to do -- you need to untie him and let us leave , and you can walk out of here alive . you can catch a bus to the next town , wherever you want , change your name , and i may , just may ... forget that you exist . if you do n't do that , we 're gon na keep playing this game -- do you understand what i 'm saying ? -- until julian shows up or does n't show up . so , what are you gon na do ? charlie : i told you to shut up . sonny : you 're gon na shoot me ? huh ? you 're gon na -- you 're gon na shoot me or not ? ! [ gun cocks ] sonny : charlie : yeah , why the hell not ? huh ? [ scene_break ] jordan : sounds as though sloane has revealed himself as an upstanding guy -- sticking by you . and now he 's sticking his neck out to stop nikolas cassadine . i mean ... maybe dig deeper , see if there 's something there worth cultivating . anna : what are you suggesting ? that i pursue this ? jordan : i 'm saying that you deserve happiness . and if kyle sloane can accomplish that , then sure . go for it . anna : no . he ca n't accomplish that . no . not now . duke is still very much in my heart . he took up residence there the day i met him , and he 's never gon na leave . jordan : yet you managed to move on from duke before . anna : oh , for god 's sake , jordan . he 's just been gone a few months . not now . i 'm not ready for this . not with kyle . i went to a very dark place after duke died . kyle is ... wrapped up in that . and it 's ... it 's too complicated to untangle . jordan : look , my opinion on the subject is , uh -- it 's a little bit biased because , after all , duke did try to have me killed , but ... he loved you . he did . so , ask yourself -- would he want you chained to his memory ? i mean , would duke rather see you miserable for the rest of your life or -- or experience joy w - with -- with a good man ? [ scene_break ] sloane : i wo n't testify to the police about mr. cassadine 's role in mayor lomax 's election . sam : wait . why not ? anna said she would get you immunity to testify . sloane : and if i testified the way you want me to , i would be perjuring myself . sam : [ scoffs ] sloane : mr. cassadine had nothing to do with lomax winning the election . sam : wait a minute . but you -- you just said that you and nikolas were working together . sloane : assisting him in his efforts to obtain shares of elq . that is the extent of our relationship . jason : oh , really ? because nick here -- he got his shares of elq through extortion and blackmail . so , are you admitting to a criminal conspiracy here ? is that what 's going on ? sam : wait . wait a minute . no . how much is nikolas paying you ? is it really worth screwing anna over ? sloane : if lomax won the election as the result of some malfeasance , i have no knowledge of it . [ scene_break ] valerie : there 's still one more gift to give ! bobbie : yes , there is . something old . carly : aww . [ chuckles ] bobbie : best wishes , baby . carly : aww , thank you , mom . oh , mom . it 's beautiful . bobbie : [ sighs ] when i got pregnant with you , i was 15 . and i knew in my heart that i could never keep you , but that did n't stop me from fantasizing . i thought about what it would be like to keep my baby . even went out one day , and i bought this tiny , little baby bonnet . and the day you were born , aunt ruby brought that bonnet to me . she knew how much i wanted to keep you . but ruby was a realist . she knew that would never work , so we did the next best thing -- put the bonnet on your head , and i rocked you in my arms for a while . and then , when it was time to go ... i took the bonnet . and i know it was selfish of me , but i just wanted something of my daughter to hold on to . carly : i did n't know that . you never told me that before . bobbie : well , when looking at that bonnet every day got to be ... too painful , i opened up the hope chest one day , and i just put it away , and i forgot about it until i started getting ready for this wedding . now , you know that i have had some misgivings about sonny over the years . carly : i do know . [ laughter ] bobbie : but , honey , i finally accept the fact that you love him . and he is the only man who is ever going to make you happy . and i wanted to give you something really special on your wedding day , something to show my love for you and to show my acceptance of your choice . so i went into the hope chest , and i found the bonnet . and i thought , `` it 's about time i returned this to my daughter . `` so , i had that bonnet made into this handkerchief . and i 'm giving it back to you , baby , with all my love . and i hope you like it . carly : [ laughs ] i love it , mom , and i love you so much . [ sniffles ] thank you so much . oh , god . and i love you guys , too . i do . i could not ask for better gifts or better friends and family . oh , this is so great . and the only thing i have left to say is , gosh , maxie , we have got to get ready . what are you doing ? ! why are you taking so long ! maxie : oh , my god ! [ laughter ] maxie : oh , my god ! let 's get this bride bride - ified . bobbie , you 're with me . let 's get carly ready . come on . bobbie : okay . come on , sweetie . valerie : guess it 's just the two of us . [ chuckles ] lulu : i 'm glad . there 's something that i have to say . [ scene_break ] michael : well , i 'm glad you got something useful out of your conversation with sonny . morgan : well , i guess we 'll see what the shrink says . michael : what -- what shrink ? morgan : the one that dad offered to take me to . michael : wait . you said you 'd go ? morgan : [ chuckles ] yeah . you sound very surprised by that . michael : well , you were n't exactly open to the idea last night . morgan : well , credit goes to dad . he made me feel okay about it , so ... dante : no sign of charlie yet . morgan : yeah . no sign of dad , either .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : jason . jason : hey . elizabeth : hey . have you been to see emily ? jason : uh , no , not since this morning . they said she 's been sleeping on and off most of the day . she 's getting a lot stronger . elizabeth : it 's a relief to know she 's getting better . jason : i just -- i just want to say thanks for , you know , sitting with me in the chapel . elizabeth : sure . courtney was n't too happy with it , and neither was carly . she summoned me in the park and warned me to stay away from you and that you belong to courtney , etc . , etc . jason : yeah , she gets protective and overreacts sometimes . elizabeth : yeah , well . it was nice in the chapel -- understanding what you were feeling , understanding why i was there . i have this habit of running away from things , kind of like the way i ran from lucky to you , from you to ric . you knew he was using me all along , did n't you ? jason : he heard what carly said to you in the park . i mean , he came up to me and asked me how long i 'd been after you . elizabeth : ric confronted you ? jason : he kept calling you his wife . the guy still thinks you belong to him .

[ knock on door ] maxie : look . mm - hmm . robin : hello . maxie : oh , god . let me guess , mac sent you to try and convince me i need to go home ? robin : is that a possibility ? maxie : what is wrong with you guys ? i have to stay here to take care of spinelli . robin : aw , how are you feeling ? spinelli : please let her stay . [ robin laughs ] robin : okay , do n't worry about it . we 'll work it out . can i talk to you for a second ? maxie : yeah . you should sleep or something . robin : you 're keeping track of his fever , right ? maxie : yeah , every two hours . and jason 's not here all the time . he ca n't do it by himself . why ca n't mac just understand i 'm trying to do something unselfish with my life for once and just be happy ? you get it , right ? you 're kind of the most rational person i know .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't know what max told you , but -- diane : max and i almost never talk about you , sonny , unbelievable as that may seem . sonny : when i 'm married , i 'm faithful . do n't -- do n't give me that look . diane : where do i start ? alexis . sam . i believe the woman 's name was reese . and , then of course , there 's emily . sonny : that was only when carly and i were separated or divorced . diane : in other words , in between reconciliations with carly . sonny : i was not married when i had sex with carly in that limo . diane : then why not tell kate ? sonny : because i do n't want to hurt her . like i said , the -- you know , it 's not going to happen again . when i marry kate , i am not going to be with anybody else . diane : okay , what if -- if she finds out ? sonny : she 's not going to , diane . diane : oh , that 's right , because it never happened . tell her , sonny . give kate the opportunity to forgive you . sonny : there 's nothing to forgive . carly and i , we 're -- we 're letting it go . kate 's heart is safe with me . i do n't want to have this discussion anymore , okay ? diane : god help me . i 'm actually starting to understand your logic . which means that i need a martini . [ scene_break ] jax : why would you come up with such a ridiculous lie ? kate : is it ridiculous ? it 's true , jax . i wish it was n't , and i wish i did n't know , but i do . the man that i am going to marry in the less than a month has been lying to me since may , and carly has been lying to you . jax : and why should i believe you ? kate : you know , just ask diane miller , okay ? she can give you the details that will break your heart . jax , everything that everyone has been warning us about is true . sonny and carly can not stay away from each other . jax : when did you find about this ? kate : clarice just told me . she overheard max and diane talking about it . do you remember that night ? do you remember how terrible we felt , how awful we felt about michael , how we were completely shut out ? how we tried to put on a good face ? we went to the `` couture `` gala , and it was dreadful . and on the ride home , you and i shared a kiss . we had to pay for that , and all the while we 've been played like fools . [ scene_break ] scott : do you have a personal relationship with nikolas cassadine ? nadine : we all know what that means , mr. baldwin , and i do n't appreciate the implication one little bit . scott : yes or no ? nadine : you want this whole courtroom to think that i am in love with nikolas cassadine , and even if i am , which i 'm probably not , it would never influence my testimony . scott : objection . ric : you ca n't object to your own witness . judge : that 's enough , ms. crowell . nadine : i 'm not finished . scott : i 'm finished with you , you crackpot . nadine : nikolas is worried sick about his little sister . she 's about to lose her mind , because that man is about to railroad her boyfriend into a lethal injection . judge : that 's enough , ms. crowell . nadine : no , your honor , this whole trial is all wrong . scott baldwin hates the spencers . he 's just out for revenge because lulu 's mother dumped him like a million years ago . talk about conflict of interest . i mean , do n't take this the wrong way , but he should n't even be allowed in this courtroom . judge : that is quite enough .

claudia 's testimony is neither helpful nor hurtful to her brother 's case . when nadine takes the stand , scotty 's badgering provokes her enough to get her cited with contempt and tossed in jail . patrick 's continual pressure to accept his proposal angers robin and she begins to have possible labor pains . mac is severely ticked when he finds that maxie has moved into jason 's to care for spinelli , but he ca n't force her to leave . when sasha pays a call , she jumps to defend the boy . after learning the truth about sonny and carly 's one night together , kate breaks the news of it to jax , even as sonny and carly are agreeing that it will never be a point of blackmail between them again . both max and diane try to urge the guilty parties to do the right thing , but before either can , they are confronted by their respective loves .

none of this is your responsibility ! nikolas : you 're right . it 's not my responsibility . it 's the dad 's . sabrina : not to take away from you moment of triumph -- you were definitely right about britt -- but ... you never answered my question ! felix : no , i will not trade bedpan duty with you . sabrina : nice try . what 's the deal with you and brad ?

[ exhales ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm fried . olivia and i spent the whole night looking for him , and dante , too . kiki : so , he just took off , and nobody knows where he went ? he -- he did n't tell anyone where he was going ? morgan : no , he left a note , and olivia found it , but it did n't sound good . kiki : what do you mean ? morgan : [ sighs ] it said goodbye , like he did n't -- like he did n't want to go on living anymore . kiki : maybe that 's not what he meant ! morgan : no , no , no ! no ! you do n't know my dad . he 's got a mental illness . he 's bipolar , which means he can be -- he can be manic , or he can be really , really depressed . i mean , he takes medication for it , but , you know , dealing with something like connie 's death -- [ sighs ] i do n't know . i - i - i 'm just -- i 'm scared ! kiki : hey ! hey , hey ! i 'm so sorry ! why did n't you call me ? morgan : because you had other things on your mind . kiki : okay , yeah . yeah . i - i was worried about michael and aj , but you are my husband , okay ? you come first . i 'm here for you no matter what . michael : aj . dad . look , you can not plead guilty ! you 'd be taking away all of your options ! diane : listen to michael , aj . he is particularly well - versed in this aspect of criminal law . michael : diane . thank god . maybe you can talk some sense into him . aj : this is my decision ! i 've made up my mind . diane : oh , really ? ! when were you planning on informing your attorney ? we 've been over this , aj you plead guilty , you tie my hands . you plead not guilty , and i can work my magic . worst - case scenario , we plead you down a lesser charge , a lighter sentence . best - case scenario , outright acquittal . aj : after what i did ? michael : unless you remember something , you still do n't even know what you did . diane : this -- the guilt , the remorse , whatever you may feel -- that is for you to take up with your shrink or your minister . but this is a court of law . and you pleading guilty to first - degree murder leads you down one road . that 's spending the rest of your life in prison . michael : and trust me , aj . you do n't want to spend six months in pentonville , let alone the rest of your life . aj : listen to me . i 'm so sorry . you know , i got that second chance . i wanted to prove myself at elq to you . i wanted to be that father that you deserve , and i failed ! michael : failing is n't falling down ! failing is refusing to get back up ! look , whatever happened that night during your blackout -- that was you falling down . but this -- this is your chance to stand up ! look , listen to diane ! let her fight for you ! aj : michael , it 's not gon na work . look , that good man that i wanted to be -- it means nothing , not to you and not to elizabeth . man , i tried so hard with her , and i ruined everything ! i - i blew it , and she 's done with me ! do n't you get it ? she gave me a second chance , and i just -- i threw it away ! and she knows who i am now . i 'm a person that could kill someone . diane : oh , please ! would you stop wallowing ? ! this is totally counterproductive ! we have n't even begun to fight ! aj : look , it 's just -- it 's over ! i 've got nothing left to fight for ! i 've lost everything . carly : connie 's death was a tragic waste . learn from it . aj hurts everyone around him . i hope , for your sake , it was a clean break . [ cell phone ringing ] elizabeth : hello . michael : elizabeth , it 's michael . this is an emergency . i need your help . elizabeth : michael , what 's going on ? michael : i 'm at the courthouse . aj 's about to plead guilty against his lawyer 's advice . elizabeth : he is ? michael : a guilty plea means he goes to prison . diane wo n't have any leverage to bargain some kind of a reduced sentence . it 's a murder . he 's gon na -- he 's gon na get life . elizabeth : that 's very sad . michael : look , i know things are bad between you two right now . and you 're hurting , and you have every right to . but if you could please come to the courthouse today , now ... you might help aj change his mind about his plea . elizabeth : why ? michael : well , because he feels like he 's lost everything right now and that he deserves this , and you 're part of that reason ... because of how he hurt you with what he said about jake . and it -- it was horrible . i know . elizabeth : do you ? michael : look , i 'm not asking you to stand by aj 's side or forgive him for what he did . just -- if you could come to the courthouse ... you might stop aj from throwing away what 's left of his life . diane : when the judge asks you how you plead , you utter two words -- not guilty . aj : diane , they have the murder weapon with my prints on it ! diane : they 've got nothing ! that gun has been owned by your family for years ! there could be 100 reasons why your prints are on it ! aj : what about the fact that connie wrote my name in her blood ? diane : okay , i 've been thinking about that . connie was with sonny that night . we know that because sonny called in the shooting . aj : so ? diane : so sonny corinthos has been having a passionate , highly screwed - up affair with poor connie falconeri . now , maybe they had an altercation , right ? sonny corinthos is no stranger to guns , and his antipathy for you is legendary . so he writes your name in her blood . presto -- the perfect crime . aj : and you do n't think that 's a bit of a stretch ? diane : i think ... it leaves room for reasonable doubt , which is all i need to convince a jury . we have a chance here , aj but not if you continue this self- recrimination . whatever mix of self - pity and remorse you are feeling because you drank and you dissed your girlfriend -- it 's not gon na be made better by you sending yourself to prison . bailiff : all rise ! this court is now in session , the honorable judge powers presiding .

[ sighs ] i was n't lying ... about my feelings for you . sabrina : hey . how you doing ? patrick : i 'm just trying to figure out what sucks more -- the fact that i feel like a chump because britt played me like a deck of cards ... or trying to get used to the fact of not having a son . sabrina : i think i know the answer to that . i think you do , too . patrick : [ sighs ] as difficult as it would 've been co - parenting with britt , i kind of got used to the idea . even more than that , i actually looked forward to being a father to a little boy , you know ? welcoming a - a life into my family and not just ... mourning a death . sabrina : could still happen for you ... someday .

[ sighs ] ohh ! okay . what was that ? ohh . [ winces ] ohh . okay , probably nothing . [ breathing heavily ] [ door shuts ] britt : nikolas ?

[ door opens ] josslyn : gag me . rosalie : you were friends ? wow . that 's a complete 180 . i thought you two were thick as thieves . nina : yeah , we were . we were friends until he decided to judge my feelings for silas . rosalie : oh . nina : `` oh , `` what ? rosalie : uh , well , uh , look , i certainly do n't want to get on the list , but even you have to admit that when it comes to your feelings for your husband , it 's really difficult for anyone that 's not you to decipher . nina : decipher ? decipher what ? rosalie : look , i 'm -- all i 'm saying is that when it comes to dr. clay , you 're kind of all over the map . nina : am i ? well , i 'm glad that i do n't pay you to decipher my feelings . it 's not your job , and it 's certainly not franco 's job . rosalie : okay . well , if you 're not here to see franco , then why are you in the art room ? nina : i am not here to see franco . i am not , and i - i 'm here so that we can have a private place to talk . rosalie : about ? nina : about my , um -- my plan of revenge on -- on kiki . kiki : i am worried about michael . when he and joss were here this morning , i mean , he was clearly upset . morgan : yeah . uh , he 's worried . so am i , because anna has n't given us an update on dante in a while . the pcpd is n't talking about dante and lulu or maxie or detective west , so ... kiki : right , so michael 's distraction just -- i mean , it -- it rubbed off on me . morgan : so that 's what this is ? you 're just sharing mikey 's worry ? kiki : yeah , what else would it be ? morgan : look , i know it 's been awhile , but i - i used to be married to you -- briefly , i know -- but i know this tone . kiki : i do n't have a t -- i do n't have a tone . morgan : you do have a tone , and you 're hiding something , so do you want to just tell me what this is about ? kiki : [ sighs ] carly : hey , josslyn . mwah . so , are you ready for your first day of school ? josslyn : yes . can we go now ? carly : in a minute . hey , sweetheart . how are you doing ? michael : i 'm okay . carly : so , did you have fun checking out the brownstone with your brothers ? michael : yeah . she sure did . i even let her pick out a color for one of the rooms . carly : oh . franco : let me guess . yellow . josslyn : no . michael : uh , yeah , actually , it was -- it was yellow . josslyn : he does n't need to know that . carly : did morgan show you all the work that he and kiki did ? josslyn : yes . the house looks really nice . maybe once it 's finished , i can move in ... away from some people . carly : maybe now , you can apologize . franco : it 's okay , carly . it 's all right . hey , joss . do n't you think you and i could turn a corner if we worked real hard at it ? would n't that be nice ? michael : um , actually , i think josslyn 's been a little preoccupied with something else happening at your house . [ inhales deeply ] i , uh , know what 's been going on under your roof . patrick : i know you miss mommy . and i miss her , too . emma : [ voice breaking ] why is n't she here ? patrick : i 'm gon na walk with you to school , and i 'm gon na go with you to all your new teachers , and i 'm gon na be with you every step of the way like always . emma : and mommy wo n't be there at all . [ sighs ] patrick : hey , i know this is really difficult on you . and i know that you 're hurting , but you 're gon na have to be brave , okay ? you 're gon na go to school . you 're gon na see all your friends . emma : i do n't want to see my friends . i want to see mommy . she told me she felt bad because she missed my first day of school last year ... and the year before that . patrick : i 'm sure she does feel bad . emma : she promised she 'd take me this year . she 's not here . patrick : [ sighs ] like i said , i 'm sure that she wants to be here . emma : what 's so important that mommy ca n't come home ? where is she , daddy ? silas : i found it in rafe 's belongings . sam : wait a minute . why would rafe have a crichton - clark business card ? -mean , she spent almost 20 years there . silas : well , i asked her , and she said it was n't hers , and -- and i asked rosalie , and i asked kiki just in case either one of them knew anything about it , and they both swore they 'd never seen it before . this card definitely belonged to rafe , and for the life of me , i ca n't figure out why . sam : ca n't be a coincidence . silas : definitely not . i 'm a little surprised this is the first you 're hearing of it . sam : what do you mean ? silas : i just figured drake would have mentioned it to you . thank you for calling crichton - clark clinic of new york , where the key to innovation is excellence . no one is available to take your call at this time . at the moment , our voicemail system is at capacity . please try to reach your party later . goodbye . emma : why did n't mommy answer ? patrick : must be busy with a patient . emma : she 's always busy with a patient . she never has any time for me . patrick : okay . come here . you need to listen to me very carefully . mommy loves you very much , and she 's thinking about you all the time . emma : you really think so ? patrick : i know so . she thinks about you every second of every day , and it hurts her not being here just as much as it hurts you . she feels that she needs to be doing this right now , okay ? and we might not understand it , but you have to trust that -- you have to trust that she loves you , okay ? no matter what , you always have to remember that . okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay , good . you all right ? emma : [ sighs ] patrick : hey , how about we , uh -- how about we skip going to school early today , and we wait for aunt elizabeth and cameron to get here , and we go to kelly 's and we 'll get chocolate - chip pancakes . emma : they 're only for special occasions . patrick : it is a special occasion . sam : what does that card have to do with patrick ? silas : well , he -- he stopped by to see me yesterday , and i told him about the card . he -- he did n't mention it to you ? sam : did you get any leads ? patrick : no . no , nothing . sam : no , no . he -- he did n't . nina : now that silas and sam have been taken care of , it 's high time i work on crossing the next person off my list . rosalie : and you 're sure you want to start with kiki ? nina : yeah . i mean , mom -- she 's incarcerated . and sam -- she 's a trashy distant memory . and , um -- oh , silas . silas is back in my arms , and i 'm back in his bed ! girl . who 's next ? rosalie : well , i thought you wanted to target the , uh -- the mistress . nina : wait a second . you were the one who was going off on me about going after ava and her baby . rosalie : yeah , i know , but , you know , she 's -- nina : but what ? listen , the ava situation -- that plan is evolving . trust me . and why should i waste precious months while her baby is baking when , you know , i can just cross her daughter off the list ? rosalie : well , what do you have in mind ? nina : i do n't know . i mean , if you were ava and silas ' love child , um -- i mean , what 's the worst thing that could happen to you ? rosalie : i have no idea . nina : i know . right ? it 's a real head - scratcher . i mean , kiki does n't have a career . she does n't have any money . what can i do to her ? she has nothing to take . what can i do to ruin her life ? i mean , what can i take from her ? oh . yeah , the boyfriend . rosalie : excuse me ? nina : the boyfriend . the boyfriend . i mean , if that 's the only thing she 's got going on in her life , that 's the thing i have to take from her . kiki : i 'm worried about dante . that 's all . morgan : well , not only were we married , kiki , but we also played poker together a lot , so i know your tells , you know ? kiki : you do n't know my tells . okay , you know some of them . morgan : like , this diversion you 're doing right now , it 's really obvious , and i just think it 's beneath you , so why do n't you just tell me what it is ? kiki : would you stop ? just drop this already . morgan : is it michael ? kiki : no ! it 's not michael . i 'm not fighting with michael . not your brother . morgan : then who is it ? kiki : it 's no one . morgan : clearly , it 's somebody i know , so if it 's not michael , then who is it ? kiki : okay , fine , morgan . it 's your mother . i have a problem with your mother . carly : um , sorry . you lost me . [ chuckles nervously ] michael : yeah , josslyn told me . uh , spencer cassadine hiding out at your place ? carly : oh . yeah . [ chuckles ] i have n't caught up with alice , i guess i missed the whole thing . i ca n't believe you hid spencer in your room for days . josslyn : he 's very compact . michael : [ chuckles ] well , i ca n't believe that you pulled it off without either of you guys noticing . morgan : what 's going on between you and my mom ? kiki : nothing . just forget about it . morgan : come on . just tell me . i can probably help you out . kiki : it 's fine . there 's no need . i already handled it . morgan : you handled it ? what did you handle ? kiki : [ sighs ] i found out something about your mom , and she told me not to say anything , but i had mixed feelings about keeping this particular secret , but , ultimately , i guess i decided to . morgan : well , obviously , it 's still bothering you , or you would n't be painting over the -- kiki : it 's not bothering me . i just hope that i made the right decision . morgan : well , i ca n't help you out unless you tell me what it is . kiki : [ sighs ] please just -- morgan : tell me what it is , and it 'll be between kiki and the captain . i wo n't tell anyone . what did my mom do to you ? kiki : well , she -- she slept with your father . nina : you know , when silas went after his nephew on the fourth of july , i was stuck bonding with kiki . she went on and on about her boyfriend . `` michael this , michael that . `` honestly , someone should break them up on principle . rosalie : and , uh , how do you propose that we do this ? nina : well , i mean , would n't it be a shame if some other woman were to come in between them ? rosalie : you do n't honestly think that you have a shot at stealing michael away from kiki ? morgan : so , my mom stepped out on franco with my father ? kiki : i should n't have gotten you involved in this . morgan : wow . wow . what a piece of work . obviously , i - i could give a damn about franco , but for my dad to do this to -- behind someone else 's back ? i mean , he just does n't even know where the line is , does he ? kiki : to be fair , your dad did n't exactly act alone . your mom knew exactly what she was doing . morgan : so when did -- when did this happen ? was this when we saw franco at the hospital , and he was -- he was crying about my dad kissing my mom ? and then he was , like , insisting that she pushed him away ? kiki : as far as i know , that was still true . morgan : okay , then how did they go from that to this ? kiki : all i know is that they slept together behind franco 's back . your mom even admitted it to me . morgan : my mom never admits something unless she 's caught , and , please , do not tell me that you walked in on them . kiki : oh , no , no , no . i did n't . i was looking for michael at sonny 's office , and i overheard them talking about it . morgan : so , did my mom say anything else ? kiki : she said it was a one - time thing and that it was over . morgan : and you believe her ? kiki : i do n't know . [ sighs ] but i backed off . if this thing with your mom and sonny is really over , then telling franco would only hurt him unnecessarily . franco : well , i 'm not surprised that no one could find spencer . both he and joss are very clever kids . is n't that right , joss ? michael : all right , well , uh , i got to head out . morgan , kiki , and i are bringing alice home from the hospital today . carly : that 's so great . i 'm so happy to hear she 's doing better . michael : yeah , i 'll tell her you said so . carly : yes . michael : maybe you and mom want to walk me out ? josslyn : sure . i could use some fresh air . carly : go . come on . josslyn : mom , can i go say hi to spencer ? carly : sure . spencer : is n't this better than being cooped up inside all day ? chandler : if you say so , sir . josslyn : hi , spencer . spencer : oh . hello , ms . jacks . josslyn : are you mad at me ? spencer : mad at you ? what reason could i possibly have to be mad at you ? josslyn : i do n't know . spencer : it may have to do with , um , you ratting me out . i got grounded for weeks . i missed the rest of summer . josslyn : sorry , spencer . i did n't mean to rat you out . spencer : then why did you ? josslyn : it was cameron . he kept asking me all of these questions . and i guess i just could n't help myself . spencer : why not ? josslyn : because i 'm in love with him . spencer : oh , brother . cameron : good morning , dr. drake . patrick : good morning , mr. cameron . come on in . elizabeth : thank you . good morning . i 'm sorry we 're late . we had a little toast incident this morning . cameron : there were flames . elizabeth : cameron . patrick : flames ? everybody okay ? elizabeth : it 's no big deal . patrick : yeah ? well , you still hungry ? because emma and i are taking you guys for breakfast to kelly 's before we go to school . cameron : sounds great . right , mom ? elizabeth : perfect , actually . patrick : good . emma 's in the kitchen . why do n't you go help her get ready ? elizabeth : wow , kelly 's on the first day of school ? you better be careful . you might be starting a tradition . patrick : yeah . you want to explain to me how it happened with this toast ? elizabeth : oh , it was no big deal . i 've just been very distracted worrying about maxie and lulu . patrick : yeah , me , too , among other things . elizabeth : what other things ? patrick : this whole investigation with sam . we keep digging , but we 're not finding anything . elizabeth : so you do n't know who put rafe up to causing your accident ? sam : wow , i 'm actually quite surprised that patrick did n't mention that to me . silas : well , you know , he probably thought it was unrelated . you know , when he left here yesterday , we were still under the impression the card probably belonged to rosalie . sam : yeah . right . silas : i was kind of surprised that patrick had even heard of the clinic . sam : well , your evil mother - in - law heard of it . silas : yeah , exactly . you know , it 's -- it 's one of these discreet places for the -- the super rich . i do n't think it 's been written up very often , if at all . sam : okay . so ? silas : patrick told me you -- you told him about it . sam : yeah . right . i did . silas : why ? why would you and drake be talking about nina 's clinic ? sam : well , because i went there with him . silas : why ? sam : because we were investigating nina . nina : i find your lack of faith disturbing . rosalie : uh , you are a very attractive , sexy lady . nina : but ... ? rosalie : but , well , if kiki is his thing ... nina : mm - hmm . rosalie : ... well , then mature , sophisticated , and tall are clearly not . nina : exactly my point . why ca n't i seduce a young c.e.o . ? i mean , if ava can get his brother morgan into bed , i could definitely bag michael , and i would have him begging for more . rosalie : y - yeah , you know , it might get a little awkward with you in the chair . nina : oh , i forgot about the chair . that 's right . oh , i ca n't do that in a chair . 'cause i ca n't get out of the chair . [ sighs ] come to think of it , uh , i do n't want silas to get wind of me sleeping with his daughter 's boyfriend . rosalie : yeah . nina : that ca n't happen . rosalie : that -- that 's exactly my point . nina : i 'm gon na have to get somebody else to do it . rosalie : mm - hmm . yeah . who ? nina : you . elizabeth : i ca n't wrap my head around how someone could convince a kid to run you off the road . patrick : [ scoffs ] believe me , i wish i knew . elizabeth : and why would they target you and your family ? it does n't make sense . cameron : there you are , emma . sorry , i did n't mean to scare you . patrick : talk about this later . elizabeth : yes . okay , guys . let 's get a move on . patrick : you ready ? got everything ? elizabeth : ready for some chocolate - chip pancakes ? cameron : yeah . elizabeth : yay ! patrick : okay . come on . spencer : you and emma are both in love with cameron ? josslyn : i am . i do n't know about emma . i do n't think she 's that complex . spencer : but cameron 's your cousin ! josslyn : unh - unh ! uncle lucky is n't his real dad . spencer : well , he still adopted him . that counts . josslyn : who can keep it straight anymore ? one day , he 's cameron webber . the next , he 's cameron spencer . then back to webber again ! but he stays dreamy . why do that little townie have a hold on every girl at port charles elementary ? josslyn : well , he 's artistic ... spencer : he folds paper into unconvincing shapes . josslyn : ... sweet ... spencer : like corn syrup mixed with rat poison . josslyn : ... and super cute . did you see him as a tomato in the camp play ? spencer : i am super cute , not to mention super rich , and if i would n't have been grounded , that tomato part would have been mine . no one does vegetables like me . i could do a whole endive salad that will knock the critics ... chandler : breathe . spencer : ... on their -- chandler : master spencer . breathe . spencer : thank you , chandler . josslyn : sorry , spencer . i do n't know what to say . i ratted you out for love . spencer : this keeps getting worse and worse ... or better and better . franco : so much for trying to buy joss ' affection with chocolate - chip pancakes . did you see her bolt out of here first chance she got ? carly : she 'll eventually come around . franco : yeah , i do n't know about that . i mean , if morgan and michael have nothing to look forward to but a lifetime of resentment . morgan : does mikey know about this ? kiki : no . no , and he ca n't . morgan : why ? kiki : because he hates franco more than you do . morgan : yeah , with good reason . kiki : if michael found out about this , he would n't be able to resist the temptation to tell franco . morgan : i 'm still not seeing the downside of that . kiki : your mom would hate me , and my friendship with franco has already caused so many problems between me and michael . we almost did n't make it . i ca n't let that happen again . the safest thing is for michael to not find out . morgan : i - i do n't know . i do n't know . kiki : you gave me your word . can i trust you to keep this from michael ? michael : keep what from me ? rosalie : you want me to seduce michael corinthos ? nina : why not ? you 're reasonably attractive . rosalie : hey . nina : well , you 're no miss venezuela , but you 're not without your charms . rosalie : thanks . nina : you have great raw material . you have a great -- you have great hair . and you have a really pretty face . and , um , you have such a good personality and such a great figure , i mean , if you worked on it , uh , and stopped wearing those smocks . rosalie : uh , you make me wear these smocks . nina : this could work . really , once i 'm done with you , this will work , and then you can go after michael , and he would n't stand a chance . rosalie : i 'm sorry , mrs. clay , but i ca n't do it . silas : you went to nina 's clinic 'cause you 're investigating her ? that 's the case you needed drake 's expertise on ? sam : i actually needed his credentials to get in . silas : oh , right , because you were barred from the time that we broke in . what 'd he do -- whip up a fake i.d . for you ? sam : it 's probably best if you do n't know . silas : you 're right . it 's probably better that i do n't know . i 'm assuming you did n't find anything , or i 'd like to think you 'd come back here and tell me about it . sam : of course i would come back here and tell you about it . silas : is that because there was nothing to find ? sam : no . i did n't find anything . no . i did n't . silas : well , thanks for keeping me in the loop . i ... i have another patient in a few minutes . sam : fine . you know , silas ... just because i did n't find anything does n't mean there is n't anything going down . i still think nina is keeping something from you . rosalie : no ! okay ? i 'm sorry . i have to draw the line somewhere , and this is it . i am not seducing michael corinthos . nina : why the hell not ? rosalie : well , for starters , i 'm not a hooker . nina : oh , listen to you , all high and mighty about hookers . i mean , what 's a hooker but someone who is paid to fulfill the fantasies of another person ? and that 's what you 're doing for me . you 're fulfilling my fantasies about silas . rosalie : yeah , not by having sex with you . nina : as long as i 'm writing the checks , i get to determine the extent of this arrangement . rosalie : [ sighs ] i really do n't like this . nina : ohh . do you not like men ? rosalie : excuse me ? nina : i mean , it 's okay if you dot . it 's okay . i have no problem with that . i - i hear there 's been a lot of progression on that front since i was in a coma . rosalie : i like men , okay ? as a matter of fact , i like one in particular -- michael 's brother . nina : are -- are you sleeping with ava 's former boy toy ? rosalie : no . i 'm not sleeping with him . nina : well , you 've done something with him , right ? has anything happened between you and morgan ? rosalie : it 's still early , but there might be something there . nina : oh , that 's sweet ... if i cared . rosalie : well , i care . nina : no , well , snap out of it . the only way this is gon na work is if you kick morgan to the curb and you hook up with his brother michael . rosalie : yeah , but i just -- nina : no buts ! this is happening . morgan : kiki had a little painting mishap . michael : what do you mean ? kiki : i - i was so worried about dante and lulu and , um -- and everyone , that i - i painted over the new plates that we bought , and i wanted to fix it before you found out about it . michael : i 'm not that much of a tyrant , am i ? kiki : [ chuckles ] michael : it 's an easy fix . do n't worry about it . morgan : no , that 's what i was telling her -- that it 's not a big deal . anyway , uh , did you hear about dante and lulu ? michael : uh ... no . not yet . morgan : okay , well , is there any way we can help ? michael : well , i think the best thing we can do is focus on the one good thing we can control , and that 's bringing alice home . morgan : yeah . kiki : yeah . michael : so , please put a shirt on , okay ? i 'm double - parked . kiki : all right . yeah . let 's go . thank you . franco : i should get to work . carly : oh . franco : enjoy your , uh -- enjoy your breakfast alone with joss . carly : okay . thank you . franco : oh , you 're welcome . carly : josslyn 's gon na come around , and so will michael and morgan . franco : yeah , i do n't know about that . morgan and i -- we got nothing in common , and michael will never forgive me , and i got to say that kind of hurts my feelings , after everything i 'm doing to protect him . carly : hey . what we 're doing . and he never will know . franco : right . what would i do without you ? at least i know i 've always got you on my side . spencer : this perfect -- perfect , i tell you . josslyn : what is ? what are you talking about , spencer ? spencer : you -- chandler , earmuffs . you like cameron , and i like emma , but they like each other . josslyn : that 's not perfect . that 's the opposite of perfect . spencer : do n't you see ? if they were to break apart , it 'd be mutually beneficial for the both of us . josslyn : what does mutually beneficial mean ? spencer : just something my uncle victor says . long story short , it means we can work together to bust them apart and get what we want . divide and conquer . [ cell phone rings ] patrick : oh . spencer : and now is our chance . patrick : this is , uh , diane . it might be about the appeal . do you mind ? elizabeth : no , not at all . take it . josslyn : hey , cameron . can you come check out my art project ? i worked on it all summer . cameron : sure . come on , emma . josslyn : actually , i 'm worried it wo n't be good enough . can it just be you ? emma : okay . spencer : emma , over here . get off . emma , it 's been far too long . i hope you 're as excited as i am about the first day of school . emma : actually , i 'm pretty scared . spencer : nonsense . you have nothing to be scared of . you 're gon na have a great first day . emma : that 's not what i 'm scared about . patrick : okay . well , thank you for the update , diane . i 'll talk to you later . thanks . bye . hey . sam : hey . patrick : how are you ? what 's going on ? sam : you know , i just came from seeing silas , and i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm kind of wondering why you did n't tell me that you went to see him , too . cameron : i really like it , josslyn . josslyn : you do ? really ? cameron : i think it 's pretty . josslyn : i tried to copy your technique from camp . everything you made was ... elizabeth : i ca n't believe how big they 're getting . it 's like just yesterday , they were babies . carly : it was just yesterday , and now look at them . elizabeth : josslyn 's getting so tall . carly : you know , she 'll never forget what jake did for her . she holds it in her heart every day . franco : hey . nina : hi . franco : hi . nina : yeah . i was leaving . i 'm leaving . that 's yours . franco : no , no , no , please . please do n't go . please . just -- just -- nina : oh , god . okay , i 'm here .

[ scene_break ] nina : thank you for escorting nelle in , but you should n't have arrested her in the first place . dillon : you okay ? nelle : better than i was an hour ago . inspector desroches : you have friends in high places , mademoiselle . nina : it 's `` madame . `` i 'm married . i 'm married , all right ? those are my mid- ranking friends . you 're gon na meet the higher - ranking friends . you still have not recovered this necklace . inspector desroches : i arrested a suspect . nina : you arrested nelle ! she had nothing to do with it ! dillon : oh . inspector desroches : looks like we got visitors . who is this ? nina : my husband . valentin : valentin cassadine . and you are ? nina : incompetent . that 's who he is . he 's incompetent . inspector desroches : your wife is a formidable woman . valentin : oh , yeah . she is . nina : yes , i am formidable , because i 'm gon na have you fired . valentin : well , that 's not gon na be necessary . nina : it 's not ? well , you were n't here . you were n't here , because this inspector arrested nelle . he botched the investigation , and now a 7-figure necklace is out there . it was on loan to my company , and it 's probably being divided into pieces as we speak . valentin : as it happens ... this is the necklace right there . [ scene_break ] ava : so -- thank you -- tell me more about this , uh , fast - track pre - med program , will you ? i mean , pre - med -- it 's rigorous enough , is n't it ? but to be fast - tracked ? that 's got to be pretty difficult , not that i think that you ca n't do it , because i know that you can . you can do anything . kiki : mom ... you do n't have to try so hard . ava : i 'm -- i 'm interested . kiki : i 'm sure you are , but you 're also clearly freaked out that people might be staring at you , and i promise you ... they 're not . and even if they were , so what ? ava : maybe next time i 'll order decaf , huh ? [ chuckles ] kiki : i think you 're doing great . this is a big step . you invited me to go someplace in public . that 's huge . and i 'm happy that you asked . i am thrilled that you 're done hiding out in the penthouse . that was n't healthy . ava : well , i 've been out . kiki : mm , right -- when dr. munro invited you to that concert in the park ? he really is a miracle worker , huh ? but , seriously , i know this is hard for you . ava : i 'm trying . i 'm gon na be strong for you , you know ? if our relationship can survive morgan 's death -- kiki : mom , you 're still my mother . i want to have a relationship with you . and i 'm grateful you 've decided to start living again . ava : well , i could n't do it alone . i have had help .

[ scene_break ] andré : the thieves were well organized and well equipped -- always the same m.o . the stores were open . customers were inside . anna : ah . in case they needed to take hostages ? andré : the thieves came in . only took the big - ticket items -- nothing less than 6 figures . they were in and out in less than 10 minutes . there was a car and driver on the curb . there were a couple of high - speed chases , but the thieves always managed to escape . their driver was damn good . anna : [ chuckles ] andré : but whoever planned the robberies was better -- brilliant , in fact . anna : valentin ? andré : it seems likely . smash - and - grab implies amateurs acting on impulse . these robberies were anything but . the thieves were pros , and these jobs were planned down to the last detail . anna : well , valentin was always an excellent strategist . andré : well , we think he may have used mercenaries . might have even been one himself . anna : oh . is there any way that we can tie him to these robberies ? andré : where is all this coming from ? i thought you and valentin made peace after the chimera incident . anna : oh , we did -- i mean , to a degree . but just because i think that he was unfairly scapegoated by the wsb , it does n't mean that i am blind to who he really is . andré : and that would be ? anna : well , he 's complicated , is n't he , and driven ? valentin has spent most of his life outside of the law . and , yeah , okay , so charlotte and possibly nina have managed to settle him down somewhat , but that does n't mean that he 's gon na follow the rules for the rules ' sake . he lives by his own code , and that may very well include maintaining ties to his old associates , if it 's advantageous to him . [ scene_break ] griffin : um , i -- the paralysis is affecting marisol 's organs . one by one , they 're shutting down . marisol 's mother : i mean , she seemed fine yesterday -- no worse than she 's been before . griffin : at this stage , things can happen very quickly . i , uh -- i wish there were something more i could say or do . marisol 's mother : [ crying ] oh , god . why do you want to take my little girl ? enrique : mami , dr. munro 's a doctor . he 's not a priest . griffin : look , be with your daughter . it wo n't be long . we 'll do everything we can to make sure she 's comfortable . i promise you she wo n't suffer . enrique : thank you . marisol 's mother : [ sniffles ] enrique : you 've always been so kind to marisol . god bless you for all you 've done for our daughter . griffin : father reyes , it 's griffin munro . you need to come to general hospital , the 10th floor . and , father reyes ... please hurry .

[ telephone rings ] kiki : [ chuckles ] okay . that was probably way off base . mr. fowler was probably just curious about a new person in the room . dr. bensch : we have more patients to see , jerome . come on , jerome ! keep up ! [ scene_break ] finn : hayden knew you were following her . [ sighs ] she wanted you to ... bring me this -- her way of saying she 's giving up hayden barnes and she 's someone new . i can still find her . it may take a little longer , but i 'm not giving up on her or the baby . curtis : hayden did more than leave her old identity behind . she also left you a message . there was a little cactus on the desk , and this was propped up against it . [ scene_break ] valentin : i wish i was a better man -- i do -- and i could offer you a spotless past . but i will say that a checkered past makes for a more interesting person . nina : [ scoffs ] you 're -- you 're not even sorry that you 've been gallivanting around with jewel thieves ? valentin : done worse . things i ca n't take back . nina : oh . things you ca n't tell me or charlotte ? valentin : the only thing i fear is losing you and charlotte . so what really keeps me up at night is you learning everything that i 've done . nina : you make it sound really bad . valentin : some of it was . not gon na lie to you . all i can do is tell you the truth about my past in a general way and hope you can love me for who i am . can you do that ? nina : yes . i can do that . i love you . i love you , valentin , good or bad . and i believe in your heart , you 're good , and your heart belongs to me . valentin : that 's all that matters . [ kissing ] [ scene_break ] andré : before you continue this investigation , you might want to clarify why you 're doing it . do you see this as a challenge , a way to finally win one against valentin ? anna : no . it 's not a vendetta against him . it 's not . this is -- this is strictly wsb business . i want to follow the trail of that diamond wherever it leads me . andré : okay . that 's all i wanted to hear . anna : cassandra pierce ? andré : one of her many names . we think she was working with the jewel thieves behind the scenes , handling the money . anna : a fence ? andré : among other things . there was never any way to prove this , but we think that valentin 's group sold their merchandise from the robberies to cassandra . she 'd then turn the items around , sell them to other buyers at a considerable markup , and then invest the money in whatever would generate a profit . anna : wow . and valentin 's group ? andré : no , they were n't involved in the second tier . for them , it was a simple transaction -- stolen goods for cash . anna : really ? andré : mm - hmm . anna : well , i ca n't see valentin contenting himself with a smaller payoff when he could get a bigger one by investing with cassandra . andré : but that woman has been linked to some -- some very dirty dealings , maybe even too dirty for valentin . anna : well , that remains to be seen . so , where is she now ? andré : she 's been living in the tax - free haven of monaco . anna : oh . i wonder when valentin last visited monte carlo .

[ scene_break ] nelle : dillon , again , thank you so much . dillon : i am not the one treating you to a day at the spa . nelle : that 's not what i meant . i meant for defending me when you had no reason to believe that i was innocent . dillon : well , i took you at your word . you would have done the same for me . besides , i think there might be something that we have in common -- a , uh -- a healthy disrespect for authority . nelle : hmm . you know , watch it , or you 'll pick up on all my bad habits . dillon : ah .

jerry : you know what ? it 's a nasty habit -- sneaking up on people . jax : spoken like a man who has reason to be paranoid . truth is , you were too absorbed in your phone call to realize i was actually standing here . that could only mean trouble .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : what possessed you to tell the metro court that i was n't going to sign my office lease ? alfred : i 'm so sorry , sir . i 've often heard you say how you hate spending time away from spencer . nikolas : what ? that does n't give you the authority to cancel my arrangements . alfred : of course you 're right , sir , but if i may , i know how you cherish privacy , especially in business . you have a discreet staff right here who support you . i tried to anticipate what would be your logical conclusion . nikolas : see , you think i 'm too eccentric to work in the real world , is that it ? alfred : the business community here in port charles is n't accustomed to a man of your pedigree . nikolas : but i have a different agenda -- the less time i spend working here , the less likely my plan will be discovered . do you understand ? lucky : nikolas , you got a minute ? nikolas : of course , always . you overstepped , it ca n't happen again . is that clear ? alfred : very clear , sir . lucky : that did n't sound good . nikolas : no . it 's been handled . how are you ? it 's good to see you . what 's going on ? lucky : ahem . well , i just need a reasonable man with a reasonable opinion . nikolas : and you came to see me ? lucky : do you think elizabeth and i have a chance ? [ scene_break ] jerry : oh , come on , no need to act surprised . i 'm always in some kind of trouble ; it 's the degrees that vary . jax : right -- it used to be annoying , and now it 's lethal . jerry : well , perhaps , but not for you , little brother , never for you . jax : well , that 's because i 'm really lucky , jerry . see , something crystallized for me when i watched you kill the woman you claimed to love in cold blood . i realized that nothing 's off - limits for you , that you would turn on me the same way you turned on irina if the stakes were high enough . jerry : well , that 's rather ungenerous -- so much for brotherly bond . jax : well , i 'll tell you what . for the sake of the bond that we used to have , i 'm asking you to leave . jerry : whether you like it or not , things are getting dangerous around here , so you need me more than ever . [ scene_break ] jason : you and the boys could leave the state , you could leave the country . you 're still going to be targets , especially to someone like zacchara who has all kinds of resources . carly : can you tell me something that does n't scare the hell out of me , please ? jason : okay , uh , we 're not sure yet how serious this threat is , okay ? zacchara has n't made contact . all we have is trevor lansing showing up . that 's it , and we do n't even know if he works for zacchara because he wo n't admit it . carly : why are you scaring me like this ? jason : because we need to be prepared . you and the boys are the easiest , most effective way to get to sonny . carly : okay . jason : so what -- just -- it 's okay . whatever happens , whether you stay or go , i just need to know that you 're protected at all times . carly : i thought if i married jax , i 'd have a normal life . jason : i 'm sorry , carly . carly : it 's not your fault , okay ? it 's -- it 's not your fault . the danger comes from sonny . and i 've always known it was there , but usually i ignored or i rationalized it away . but if you 're telling me my kids are at risk , then i have to do something . jason : i 'm just telling you the facts that i have right now . ultimately , it 's up to you to decide what 's best for you and your kids . [ scene_break ] alexis : i called ric twice a day to speak to molly -- regardless of the time change -- he never mentioned one word about his father being here . sam : okay , i 'm -- i 'm not exactly sure when ric found out , if that means -- alexis : well , did you meet trevor ? what is he like ? sam : he is your father - in - law . alexis : i 've never met him , i do n't know him . he 's been estranged from ric since i 've known ric . all i know is he 's cold , he 's distant , he never had any interest in ric or the rest of his family . but , then again , knowing how ric now distorts the truth , he 's probably a perfectly nice guy . [ alexis sighs ] alexis : i hate the idea of molly having to suffer through the dysfunctional family reunion . [ scene_break ] trevor : look at you , look at -- ric : never been one for warm feelings towards children . trevor : that 's because the child in my life was always so sullen and unappealing -- nothing like this little girl . ric : you know what ? i think it 's time for molly 's nap . trevor : oh . sally : if you do n't mind my taking her ? ric : no , it 's fine . i just do n't want her schedule disrupted . trevor : bye - bye , tootsie . ric : go ahead , sweetheart . i 'll be in later . ric : do n't you ever come near my daughter again . trevor : richard , you 're not in any position to give orders . and if you do n't change that attitude fast , you could lose that beautiful little girl -- for good . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i have no objectivity about you and elizabeth , okay ? i love you both , but i want you to be happy , and i can only naturally assume that eventually you 'll be happy together . lucky : i just do n't know where we are anymore . nikolas : well , look , you 've made mistakes , she 's made mistakes . but -- but i have faith in you . you 're sober , i think -- i think that you 're committed to staying that way , you love your family . but -- but if you 're looking for an objective opinion here , i -- i just ca n't , i 'm too close to it . the best that i can do for you is just promise that i 'll support whatever you decide . lucky : last night elizabeth said that my anger is hurting the kids , and she was ready to leave . nikolas : well -- well , i think that 's -- that 's a little arbitrary , given that you have plenty of reasons to be angry . lucky : it made me realize that i ca n't let elizabeth go . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . elizabeth : hey . emily : how are you ? elizabeth : glad to be busy . i have some tests you ordered . emily : yeah -- oh , i ca n't believe the summer is practically over . elizabeth : i know , me , too . i wanted to see more of you guys -- i 've missed you . emily : i know , i 've missed you , too . listen , why do n't we plan a day at the beach before the weather turns ? you know , you and lucky , me and nikolas -- just like old times , except with babies ? [ emily laughs ] emily : spencer needs to hang out with his cousins , and lucky and nikolas have n't had any time to just be together . elizabeth : okay . sounds great . emily : yeah ? do you think lucky 's up for it ? elizabeth : hmm . if you 'd have asked me yesterday , i would 've told you `` when hell freezes over . `` but we talked things out last night and have agreed that all this anger and resentment is n't good for the kids , so we said we would try again . emily : okay . hope it works out . elizabeth : at least we 've agreed to stop hurting each other . it 's worth a try . [ scene_break ] jason : alcazar 's death left a -- a vacuum , okay , and we -- we knew that might be possible because port charles is a valuable asset to anyone who wants to ship goods from here to canada . okay , i believe that zacchara sent trevor lansing to check out sonny and his organization . carly : ca n't sonny negotiate with him ? jason : how 's he going to negotiate to somebody who has n't shown himself yet ? carly : what if he shows himself by taking out sonny 's family like he did with that other guy , jason ? jason : okay , i know you 're worried , but i think he 's got to be more careful this time . if he wants to take over this territory , he ca n't -- he ca n't hurt more innocent people , people who are going to turn against him or try to kill him . i think he 's going to have to explore different ways , different tactics . carly : so you think he might leave us alone ? jason : i think that you and the boys are safe in port charles under guard . but , again , this is a decision that you 're going to have to make . [ scene_break ] alexis : all right , we have to be very careful about how we do this because i doubt that ric is handling the sudden appearance of his father in a very healthy way . sam : okay , why do n't you just explain that you want to protect molly from an emotionally dysfunctional situation ? alexis : `` explain `` ? we can barely stand to be in the same room with each other . sam : okay , brace yourself -- ric does have another reason to be on edge . you 've heard of anthony zacchara , right ? alexis : the mobster ? sam : yeah . well , zacchara may be moving into port charles to take over sonny 's business . everyone is nervous , to say the least . i -- um -- i even hired a bodyguard . [ scene_break ] ric : i do n't see you for 10 years , you suddenly drop out of the sky , and you think you 're going to take my daughter ? trevor : oh , richard , you know what i 'm thinking ? that molly would be better off away from you . ric : you know what ? you do n't give a damn about your granddaughter other than the leverage that she provides you with . trevor : come on , richard , do n't make any assumptions . i happen to think that molly is a special child , and it would be totally irresponsible of me if i did n't try to protect her from your toxic influence . ric : okay , listen closely . you will never take my child . trevor : richard , i 'm connected to some very important , influential people , and i will not hesitate to call old friends if i must . ric : you do n't got a leg to stand on . trevor : yeah . `` my unbalanced son and his equally unbalanced paramour produced this beautiful little child . `` ric : no , see , alexis and i were married when we had molly . trevor : yes , and she was an unfit mother , as you so ably proved in court . unfortunately , sadly , you turned out to be just as bad . i , as the responsible grandfather , must plead for emergency guardianship . ric : what 's it going to take to make you go away ? trevor : now you 're talking . your half brother is becoming a hindrance . make it so that he can not do business in port charles -- or anywhere else , for that matter . ric : it 's not that easy . trevor : we 're going to pass up a conversation about your ineptitude for another day . suffice it to say , huh , if sonny remains free , you 're going to lose your little girl for good . it 's that simple .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : as you can see , there are many destinations which have remained marginally untouristed and are ripe for expedition by adventurous travelers . georgie : i have read so many books that are set in europe , i can not wait to actually go . spinelli : has the faithful friend and dispenser of wisdom chosen a primary destination ? georgie : well , the course that i -- i have applied for is based in rome , which includes travels to related sites . like -- like , you could get to go to where the picture was actually painted , or where the actual historical event took place . i know , i know -- it 's amazing . spinelli : the jackal is envious . to stand in , like , the roman forum , or the ruins of pompeii -- i mean , no doubt , you will expand what is already a formidable arsenal of knowledge . georgie : thank you . you know , what if you went in on the program ? spinelli : well , i mean , the jackal assumes you had to be a student , right , and probably in good standing of a licensed institution of higher learning , like maybe p.c.u . or the like , and the jackal is no longer a member of that or any undergraduate body . georgie : i 've been meaning to ask you , why did you quit school ? spinelli : um -- well , initially , my life was in danger . so i was just trying to flee the city of port charles to seek refuge with my granny . but once i was dragged back -- which , in itself , was uncomfortable and dismaying , but in retrospect , it turned out to be one of the best things that 's ever happened to me . but , unfortunately , i was , you know , too far into the spring semester to resume my classes . but , um , instead i turned my energy to reconstructing stone cold 's finances and tech support , which turned out to be really technically challenging , and not to mention financially rewarding . so , consequently , i do n't have the time -- georgie : what if jason died tomorrow ? spinelli : that 's a bit of a harsh hypothetical . georgie : oh -- okay , that -- that came out really harsh . i 'm so sorry for that . no , no , this is in reference to the conversation that we were having earlier . jason kills people for a living for sonny . i mean , he is -- he 's a hit man , which , logic would suggest , that other people are trying to kill him , too . which makes him a target , which makes it very , very dangerous for you to be living with him . but that -- that 's not my point . i know that broadening your intellectual horizons may not sound great right now , but it 's really shortsighted . i mean , you do n't plan on being a tech guy for the mob forever , do you ? spinelli : um -- well , you know , despite being a master of events -- game theory , the jackal does n't spend much time projecting his future . hey , you know , while your trip abroad for your junior year is -- is really inspiring , it -- i just -- leaving home is a lot easier when you 're reasonably certain that it 's going to still be there when you come back , right ? see , my granny was this source of guidance and stability for me , but i never really fit in in tennessee . i -- i 've never really fit in anywhere -- until , by random chance and the auspices of the blond one , i ended up living with stone cold . and despite my regrettably pink room , i -- um -- the jackal is accepted -- nay , even valued . georgie : i know that jason is your friend , but he 's not the only person that thinks you 're cool . spinelli : okay , um , point of fact -- stone cold does n't think i 'm cool -- in fact , no one does because i am not cool . georgie : yes , you are . and that -- that right there -- that 's why . because you 're not some ridiculous poseur like logan is , you know -- spinelli : ooh . georgie : who , by the way is -- is a modernized but much stupider version of a james dean wannabe . spinelli : wow . ha ! a most active , accurate description . georgie : no , no , but you are a true original . you are one of a kind , and that 's what makes you really unique . spinelli : wow . um -- the jackal is compelled to -- to point out that -- i 'm sure the faithful friend and dispenser of wisdom will accrue factual knowledge on her european adventure , but there is no way that you could be wiser than you already are . you are clearly an old soul in a comely and convivial -- maxie : excuse me , mr. jackal ! i need to talk to my sister , so , see ya . georgie : ca n't you tell that i 'm having an -- a very important conversation ? maxie : and i 'm sure you can listen to him babble some other time . spinelli : okay -- georgie : maxie -- spinelli : i do n't want to cause any sort of rumble between the faithful friend and dispenser of wisdom and her snarkiest of siblings , so i will simply retire . maxie : if that means you 're leaving , hurry it up .

[ scene_break ] jason : did something change while i was out ? did you change your mind about getting married ? sam : really ? absolutely not . jason : ok . sam : almost losing you made me realize more than ever how much i want to spend the rest of my life with you , but i am gon na need you around for that . so , i think we 're gon na have to concentrate on your recovery . and i do n't think we have to stick to some arbitrary timetable . jason : it 's not arbitrary . we picked september 23 , and i 'm gon na make that happen . sam : i know . look , i want to , too , jason . i just think that we could scale it down a little bit . it does n't have to be this big ginormous event . jason : but i thought you wanted a proper wedding , with friends and family , a dress , and your sisters as bridesmaids . sam : i do . jason : then stop trying to talk yourself out of it . we are only gon na do this one time , so you better make it a wedding that you really want . sam : are you sure ? jason : absolutely . and all those details , let maxie and kristina handle all that , will you ? sam : ooh , you think ? jason : i think they would love it . sam : ok . all right , well , i 'm gon na have to keep my hand in it a little bit so it does n't get too out of control . jason : just let them handle the details , and then september 23 rolls around , all we have to do is show up . sam : you are so brilliant . jason : mm - hmm . you are biased . sam : damn straight i am . jason : ah , this is perfect .

[ cell phone ringing ] alexis : it 's molly . she wants to know how you 're doing . michael : i 'll call her . you stay here . alexis : oh , thank you . patrick : do you remember anything about what happened ? what 's the last thing you remember ? kristina : i was walking to the warehouse and ... that 's it . i 'm drawing a blank . patrick : that 's it ? ok . have you collapsed before ? kristina : not exactly . alexis : what do you mean , not exactly ?

[ scene_break ] matt : i carry my own guilt when it comes to siobhan , honestly . elizabeth : what do you mean ? matt : well , she was my patient . so i racked my brain trying to figure out if there was something that i missed that was obvious . or not so obvious , or something that my brother would have seen . elizabeth : you 're way too hard on yourself . you need to work on that . matt : hey , i did n't mean to talk about my stuff right now . the point of this entire conversation is i just -- i do n't want you going around town talking like you are , making people think that you 're guilty of murdering siobhan . ok ? elizabeth : you know , it 's funny . i spent so much time wishing her away , trying to come up with ideas for her to pack up and move back to ireland . and in the end , she was gon na leave lucky anyway . [ scene_break ] dante : i got ta tell you , i do n't like seeing you like this . lucky : like what ? dante : it 's pretty dark , like you 're on the edge . lucky : you know , one of the hardest things about being a recovering addict is what it does to your relationships . how everybody is constantly doubting you . it 's not like they do n't have the right to , but you ca n't help but resent it all the same . dante : look , why do n't you just resign and quit the case ? lucky : that 's as good as me admitting to mac and ia that i 'm using . and i 'm not . dante : your wife just died . take a leave . lucky : what are you talking about ? i just found out somebody involved in the case might have killed siobhan . i ca n't back out now . there 's no way . dante : it 's a hell of a risk to take , lucky . i do n't think you want to go back down the road of addiction , do you ? you worked your butt off to get sober . now you 're gon na start back at square one possibly ? i just hope you got the strength in you not to fall . [ scene_break ] patrick : can you explain to me what you 're going through right now ? kristina : head rushes , like when you get up too fast . patrick : ok . how often ? kristina : not too . just now and then . well , one time ethan caught me right as i was about to fall . but i do n't think it 's a problem . i probably just have n't been eating enough . patrick : now , you let me do the diagnosis , all right ? any problems with your coordination ? have you been off - balance or anything ? kristina : i had n't thought of it like that , but i have been kind of clumsy lately . i bump into something , or i reach for something and i miss it . michael : could she be having these symptoms because of the drugs that lisa gave her ? alexis : what drugs ? what drugs ? michael : it 's important enough to explain . lisa niles gave kristina what she said were herbal supplements . it turned out to be hydrocodone . patrick : i do n't think there 's any correlation between the two . she did n't take enough to have an issue . alexis : how do i not know about -- why am i the la -- why did n't you tell me ? patrick : because i was n't obligated to tell you . kristina is an adult . kristina : finally ! someone who acknowledges . anyway , i 'm fine . can i go home now ? patrick : no , you ca n't go home . you 're gon na wait here until i run some tests , all right , so try and relax . i 'll be back . kristina : ok , before you go ballistic , i did n't tell you because it never got to be an issue , and i did n't want you hyperventilating all over the place and for no reason . alexis : ok . all right . we 'll just sit here quietly and calmly and wait for dr. drake to arrange the tests . and we 'll talk about this when we get home . that it 's inappropriate to keep secrets from your mother . no matter how old you are . [ scene_break ] patrick : kristina cleared you . you can leave my hospital now . anthony : your hospital , your patients , your wife . you doctors are awful proprietary , doc . patrick : if you 're still here when i come back , you 'll be removed , even if i have to do it myself . anthony : you people just need to learn basic respect , and the price of the lack thereof . hello . it 's anthony zacchara . i 'd like to make an appointment to see the doctor .

judge powers : the defendant is facing multiple murder charges . i 'll need to refer to my notes here . diane : actually , your honor , that wo n't be necessary . i move to dismiss all charges . judge powers : [ laughs ] on what grounds ? diane : regardless of franco quartermaine 's actions , he is not responsible for those crimes . judge powers : enlightened me , ms. miller . if your client is not responsible , who is ? diane : i 'm so glad you asked , your honor , and i will be happy to show you . carly : what the hell is that ? franco : it looks my 8th - grade art project . carly : i hope you flunked . lazaro : your honor , we 're not here to play show - and - tell . we 're here to put the defendant on trial for multiple crimes . diane : a trial would amount to a gross miscarriage of justice , your honor . lazaro : no more gross than whatever 's in that jar . diane : in this jar is the proof that franco quartermaine , a.k.a . robert frank , is innocent . the true culprit , liable for all of that death and destruction , is not my client ... but his tumor . britt : thought i recognized the stench of industrial - strength relaxer . now kindly take your chemically treated rough and holier - than - though attitude back to the mainland and inflict them on someone else . [ door slams ] sabrina : i 'm not going anywhere . emma : hurry , daddy ! patrick : i 'm coming . what 's the rush ? emma : i want to get back to decorating baby brother 's room . where 's the changing table ? did sabrina finish putting it together ? patrick : we had to take it back , sweetheart . emma : but babies need changing tables , daddy . patrick : well , not here , they do n't . emma : why not ? patrick : okay , listen . [ sighs ] we have to have a little talk about your little brother . nikolas : bradley cooper . time for you to man up . brad : man up ? nikolas : that 's right . brad : um , i think if you look closely , you 'll find that i 'm all man , even in the midst of a day as bad as this one . nikolas : well , it 's about to go from bad to worse unless you do what you 're told . brad : i 'm open - minded . your order to give is ... mine to take . nikolas : he 's your order . step up and take care of your son . michael : all right . thanks , enrique . i understand . morgan : well , what 's going on ? any sign of dad down on his island ? michael : [ sighs ] his rooms are still closed up . enrique sent somebody to the beach to check for him . no sign of him . olivia : we 've checked all of sonny 's usual places . you guys , we 're running out of time . the longer that sonny 's left on his own , the bigger the chance he 's gon na do something terrible to himself . lazaro : your honor , this is revolting . franco : oh , now , now . this is my tumor we 're talking about . lazaro : if that is indeed a tumor , and if it is the defendant 's , it still has no bearing on this trial ! it 's a cheap , obvious stunt that absolutely reeks of diane miller . franco : and formaldehyde . britt : you might want to get your prescription checked , sabrina . sabrina : i can see just fine , thank you . britt : no , i meant your anti - psychotics , because you clearly have no grasp where you are . sabrina : nikolas cassadine 's mansion . britt : exactly , where i am a guest and you are trespassing . now get out . sabrina : not until i say what i came here to say . britt : i do n't care what you have to say . i am extremely pregnant , extremely alone , and extremely fed up with you and your roommate and your high - and- mighty boyfriend that used to be mine . patrick already gave me an earful . i have had it . sabrina : oh , well , you know what ? that 's too bad , because you 're about to get an earful from me . how could you cheat patrick out of his son ? britt : it 's not his son ! sabrina : you know what ? it was bad enough that you dangled him in front of patrick and made him fall in love with that baby , but you did that to emma , too . you let them imagine a life with a little brother and a son , and that was all a lie . that baby was never gon na be a part of their lives , and you knew it ! britt : and your point ? ! sabrina : my point is how can you do this to a man that you claim to love ? patrick : well , before we have a little chat about your brother , you , uh -- you want something to drink or some ice cream or something ? emma : daddy , just tell me . what 's wrong ? patrick : okay . okay . look , um ... [ sighs ] i did n't think this was gon na be so difficult to tell you . emma : there 's no baby again , is there ? patrick : no . well , not exactly . i mean , britt 's still having a baby . emma : and he 'll come live with us ? patrick : no , he 's not gon na come and live with us . emma : why not ? patrick : because i 'm not the father of britt 's baby . it 's -- it 's someone else . brad : i - i - i do n't know what westbourne told you , but , uh , this -- nikolas : whoa , whoa , whoa . you 're the father of the baby . is that not the case ? britt told me that the two of you struck a deal . right ? she would secure your promotion here at the hospital in exchange for your ... dna . brad : i - i - is that judgment i hear ? [ chuckles ] that 's rather rich , prince nikolas , coming from an heir to a legacy of inbreeding , fratricide , and , uh , fringe meteorology . oh , yeah . i read the whole tell - all about your family , and , you know , frankly , i 'm shocked that the so - called white sheep of that mad clan -- nikolas : playing the class card wo n't get you off the hook here , pal . you wo n't shirk your responsibility with your son . i do n't care what arrangement you made . brad : hey , hey , hey . that kid is not my responsibility . nikolas : really ? tell me how you can say that . olivia : what if he 's already done it ? you guys , what if it 's already too late ? dante : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . would you calm down ? just try to clear your head -- for sonny 's sake , okay ? olivia : okay , okay . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . and i 'm sorry , boys . i should n't be freaking out like this . michael : oh , hey . it 's okay . we 're all on edge . olivia : i just do n't get it . how could this thing get so out of control ? i mean , i - i thought that sonny and connie put this whole thing behind them -- all of this stuff with joe jr. and with connie 's son and with the d.i.d . morgan : yeah . i mean , from what i could see , they looked pretty happy . olivia : well , yeah . they were happy . they were finally gon na make good on the promise that they made all those years ago when they were kids . then that stupid article about kiki came out . michael : wait , what do you -- what do you mean ? what does that article have to do with anything ? sonny : [ sighs ] connie , this is -- it 's all me . everything i touch , i destroy . every woman that i love , i ... i hurt . not anymore . i 'm not gon na let you die for nothing . this has to end now ... with me . connie : [ echoing ] hey . it 's me , baby . i 'm back . sonny : connie . michael : i do n't understand . did my father have a problem with connie 's article about kiki not being franco 's daughter ? morgan : who cares ? what does that have to do with anything ? ! michael : okay , why do n't you just calm down , all right ? we 're trying to figure this whole thing out . morgan : well , what is there to figure out , mikey ? ! dante : morgan . morgan : okay , why are we sitting here gossiping about dad and connie 's problems ? ! they do n't matter , all right ? ! connie 's dead ! and dad 's gon na be , too , if we do n't find him soon ! sonny : connie . you 're alive . connie : i 'm back . sonny : i love you so much . connie : i love you , too , sonny . sonny : i never stopped . connie : i know . neither did i , not for one second . sonny : do n't leave me again . connie : oh , sonny . i never meant to leave you in the first place . i 'm so sorry . sonny : no , hey . it 's not your fault . you could have never known -- connie : no , i knew how you felt about me running the article , and i printed it anyway . i made you doubt my love for you . sonny : it was -- it was my fault . i -- connie : you do n't have to doubt me , sonny . i loved you then , and i love you now . i always have , and i always will . britt : how could i lie to patrick like that when i claim i love him ? go to hell . sabrina : no wonder patrick washed his hands of you . britt : patrick would have never left me if you had n't weaseled your way in between us in the first place . oh , but that 's right -- you could n't turn his head with your looks , could you ? so you created your little whisper campaign . sabrina : wow ! you 've rewritten history so many times that you actually believe it yourself . britt : you deny that you wanted patrick the entire time that i was with him ? sabrina : look , i do n't deny that i had feelings for patrick , but i knew that he was still mourning his wife . i even kept quiet when it was clear to me and everybody else that being with you was the worst mistake patrick could ever make . britt : oh , right , of course -- because how could patrick pass up perfect little sabrina ? you call me the britch , but , honey , i ai n't got nothing on you . sabrina : you know , i knew that you were awful for patrick , but he was able to make that decision on his own when he realized that you hated his little girl . emma : what do you mean ? why is n't the baby yours ? patrick : well , sometimes when parents are expecting a baby , they , um -- they get confused who the dad is . emma : how ? patrick : [ sighs ] sometimes they think it 's gon na be one person , and it turns out that it 's another person . it 's like a mix - up . you know when you brought your friend 's backpack home from school and it looked exactly like yours but then when you opened it up inside it , you realized that it was n't yours ? emma : a baby is n't a backpack , daddy . patrick : [ chuckles ] i know it 's not , baby . emma : this is silly . how did everyone get so confused ? patrick : doctors do little tests on babies when they 're still growing inside their mommy 's stomach , and , um , sometimes they get them wrong . emma : so , you failed the test ? patrick : i guess you could kind of say that , yeah . but the important thing is , is that britt 's baby is n't going to be part of our family like we thought . emma : whose family does he get to be a part of ? patrick : [ sighs ] a man named brad . emma : he 's not gon na be as good of a daddy as you . patrick : [ smooches ] thank you for saying that , sweetheart . he 's gon na be just right for britt , though . nikolas : in what universe is the baby you share with britt not your responsibility ? brad : the universe in which -- you know , it 's like -- nikolas : no , no . i do n't know what it 's like . brad : look , westbourne and i had an agreement , okay ? she supplied the promotion . i supplied the sperm . nikolas : mm - hmm , which makes you the baby 's father . brad : no . there was no discussion of hand - holding , child - birthing , diaper- changing , or child support . drake was gon na handle all that . nikolas : well , that ceased to be the case once he found out that he was n't the father and that you were . brad : so what ? nikolas : so , you 're gon na see to britt and that baby 's every need , starting with putting a roof over their head . britt 's moving in with you . brad : [ chuckles ] judge powers : ms. miller , is it your contention that this ... so - called brain tumor caused the defendant to commit the litany of crimes for which he 's been charged ? diane : it is , your honor , and this tumor is the genuine article . lazaro : are we supposed to take your word for that ? diane : these affidavits , your honor , are from accredited neurologists . they confirm the authenticity of the tumor -- that it did come from franco quartermaine -- and the site from which it was removed . without the malevolent influence of this tumor on his cognitive and sensory faculties , along with his personality , none of the crimes attributed to him would ever have been committed . lazaro : your honor , the defendant 's crimes go back years . diane : indeed . and medical analysis of this tumor has determined its existence predates any allegations of crimes done . lazaro : how convenient . diane : the tumor has been growing , your honor , bit by bit , insidiously . all these years , franco has been at war with himself -- a war against his darker impulses spurred on by this tumor . lazaro : this man can not be allowed to escape trial on the defense that his tumor made him do it . diane : i can cite precedent , your honor -- trichter vs . the state of new york , glickfeld vs . the united states of america . lazaro : whose combined crimes do n't add up to half of what the accused is charged with here . diane : bottom line , your honor -- my client can not be held responsible for any crimes while he was afflicted . the charges must be vacated . he must be released . release my client , your honor . free franco . patrick : what are you thinking about , sweetheart ? emma : i wonder if the baby will miss us . patrick : that 's a good question . i do n't know what the little guy 's gon na be thinking ... but i do know that he missed out on having the best big sister in the entire world that anybody would be lucky to have . emma : i guess . patrick : [ chuckles ] i know you 're disappointed . this whole situation 's giving you a little whiplash . emma : what 's whiplash ? patrick : whiplash is the feeling you get when you think you 're gon na get something and then you realize that you 're not gon na get it . emma : it 's not fair . patrick : no , it 's not fair . and i know it took you a little bit of time to warm up to the idea , but you were looking forward to having a little brother , were n't you ? emma : you were excited , too . you really wanted to have a little boy -- someone to play catch with and take camping . you must have whiplash , too . patrick : [ sniffles ] yeah . i got a little whiplash . emma : maybe you could still have a baby boy -- your own baby boy with sabrina . patrick : [ chuckles ] britt : i do not hate emma . i am not fond of the little brat , but i do not hate her . sabrina : you treated emma like the enemy . britt : she treated me like i had cooties . sabrina : you called her names , britt -- a little girl . and then you turn your head when she runs away to escape your bullying . britt : i tried to be nice to that kid , okay ? sabrina : oh , come on ! britt : but i did n't stand a chance next to you , the maker of rainbows and everything nice ! sabrina : you frightened her . and then she ran away at night in the dead of winter . do you have any idea what could have happened to that little girl ? britt : she 's a spoiled little brat , okay ? sabrina : oh , well , that 's something that you obviously managed to say in front of patrick . oh , yeah . he finally saw you for the bitch you are and dropped you . but instead of taking no for an answer , you hatched up this little plan to trap him and recruited brad to help . brad : dr. westbourne ca n't move in with me . nikolas : and yet she is , so you better make room . brad : i live in a railroad apartment . there 's barely enough room for me , let alone britt or -- nikolas : you should have thought of that before you started doling out sperm samples . brad : why do you care where britt lives ? wh - what are you -- in love with her or something ? sabrina : you know , it would have been one thing if you had actually gotten pregnant after jumping patrick in the shower , but this ? what kind of person thinks of a plan as sick as this ? britt : apparently , you 're looking at her . sabrina : you knew that in order to redeem yourself with patrick , you had to prove that you could be a parental figure , so instead of doing the hard work of rebuilding a relationship with emma , you go and take the easy way out and go and get pregnant yourself . britt : you think this is easy ? ! sabrina : oh , but it backfired , did n't it ? you were found out , ostracized , and dumped . and now you 're alone and pregnant by a guy who probably wants even less to do with you than patrick . britt : ohh . yeah , exactly . i got everything i had coming to me . are n't you happy ? [ groans ] sabrina : you know , i really should despise you for everything that you 've done . but the truth is i pity you and that poor baby you 're carrying . with you as a mother , that little boy is in for a lifetime of nothing but grief . britt : [ groans ] damn . sabrina : yeah . the truth hurts , does n't it ? britt : it 's not the truth , you moron . it 's my baby . sonny : everything that happened was on me . connie : no , sonny . sonny : you told me not to get between my -- my sons michael and morgan , that i would hurt them both , and i did n't listen . connie : it was n't my place to tell you how to raise your boys . sonny : you knew i was making a mistake . i did n't listen . i - i wanted to protect my son . instead , i helped him marry someone who does n't love him -- not real love , like what we have . connie : sonny , what are you doing ? sonny : two weddings -- two weddings -- two weddings , two times we should have been married -- making promises to each other every time . i lost you . maybe i can find you again . i 'm gon na be with you now , connie . kiki : michael 's right . morgan , you need to chill . [ cell phone rings ] dante : uh , yeah . falconeri . what do you got ? kiki : listen to what your brother dante said . we all need to stick together . michael : kiki , it 's okay . morgan 's right . i did n't mean to get under your skin . morgan : it 's not about getting under my skin , michael . it 's just about finding dad , so can we please just drop everything else ? michael : of course . yeah . consider it dropped . olivia : what is it ? dante , is it sonny ? franco : you really think this is gon na work ? diane : well , i ca n't take all the credit for dreaming this up on my own . there is a font of recent legal precedent in neuroscience that backs me up . judge powers : approach . it would seem that your contention is not without merit and warrants further examination . lazaro : then ms. miller can make her case at trial . she can not circumvent due process . diane : i 'm attempting to do no such thing , your honor -- merely to exercise my client 's legal rights . lazaro : and what about the rights of franco 's victims ? the ones he stands accused of traumatizing and murdering deserve their day in court , and their families deserve to be heard from . carly : i 'm one of his victims . i can tell the court what you need to hear . brad : come on . level with me , prince . you got a thing for the britch ? nikolas : call her by her proper name or not at all . brad : lighten up . she likes it . nikolas : no , she does n't , actually , and neither do i . brad : um , because you wo n't have your lady 's honor besmirched ? nikolas : my friend 's honor . brad : sure . you 're such great friends , you ca n't wait to unload her on me . well , wh - what 's wrong ? did n't she live up to your lofty standards ? sure , it was fine when she was the poor , abandoned mother - to - be , but once you got a look inside of what makes her tick -- nikolas : bottom line , brad -- you 're the dad , so britt and the baby are now your responsibility . brad : i do n't see it that way . and if britt has a problem with that , she can take it up with me herself . sabrina : do you really expect me to believe this ? after the fake morning sickness and the fake dna test , now you 're faking braxton hicks ? britt : [ voice breaking ] sabrina , i 'm not faking . something is wrong . sabrina : okay . you know what ? look , if you want to continue to play this game , go ahead . keep playing . but you 're gon na play all by yourself . britt : no ! sabrina , sabrina , please ! i 'm not -- sabrina , i 'm not faking ! something 's wrong . [ crying ] please do n't go . please do n't go . emma : you and sabrina can have your own baby . and this time , when the doctors do the test , you can study extra hard and make sure the baby 's yours . patrick : well , i -- emma : would n't you like that ? patrick : yeah , i think that would be very nice . but i think that parents need to talk about having a baby together to make sure it 's the right situation , and i think for sabrina and me , it 's a little premature . emma : but you love sabrina , right ? patrick : yeah . i do love sabrina . emma : this much ? patrick : more than that . emma : this much ? patrick : that much ! yes . do you love sabrina ? emma : even more than this . patrick : yeah ? wow . that 's a lot . emma : so , if you love sabrina and sabrina loves you , maybe it 's not pre -- pre -- um ... patrick : premature . it means when something happens too soon . emma : since you love sabrina , maybe someday it wo n't be premature to have a baby brother . patrick : [ chuckles ] maybe , baby . [ smooches ] olivia : dante , who was that on the phone ? dante : that was the p.d . they may have spotted sonny . michael , morgan , you guys want to come with me ? olivia : wait , wait . you 're not gon na tell me where you 're going ? dante : why do n't you stay here in case he comes back here and we miss him , okay ? olivia : okay . i 'll wait . dante : kiki , do you mind waiting here with my mother ? kiki : no prob . i hope you find your dad . dante : thanks . let 's go . dante : uh , just one thing you guys should know before we go . morgan : why ? what 's going on ? michael : someone thinks they saw dad , but either he 's injured or -- dante : gunshot victim admitted to the e.r . matching sonny 's description . let 's go to the hospital . connie : sonny , do n't do this . sonny : i have to , 'cause i do n't think i can live without you . connie : you 've lived without me before for a very long time . you can keep living without me . think of all the reasons to live -- michael , morgan , dante , kristina . sonny : but i wo n't have you . connie : but you have me now , hmm ? in the place we were gon na get married . sonny : supposed to . that 's not gon na happen again . connie : says who ? you 're here . i 'm here . put the gun down , sonny . live . marry me . diane : so , you and carly . franco : we 're getting along better - ish . diane : but she is carly , after all . is she about to save our case or ruin it ? carly : i do . franco : i wish i could tell you , but right now , she 's just a mystery . judge powers : ms. jacks , you stated you were one of the defendant 's victims . please elaborate . carly : well , i 'm not gon na list all of franco 's crimes . it 's in the file right in front of you . i can tell you there was no end to the pain that franco caused my friends , myself -- worst of all , my children . judge powers : it is ms. miller 's position that the defendant 's actions were caused by a brain tumor and since it 's been excised , he 's no longer a threat to anyone . how do you feel about that ? carly : i 'm not a doctor . judge powers : no , but you 've had dealings with the defendant before and after the surgery , correct ? carly : i have . judge powers : then can you attest to any change in his personality positive or otherwise ? carly : yes . positive . judge powers : then you are confident that your family is no longer at risk ? carly : i - i have not observed any violent behavior . judge powers : let me put it this way . do you trust the defendant in the presence of your children ? carly : no , i do not . lazaro : your honor , i must renew my objection for the defense 's motion for dismissal . carly : excuse me . i would to like -- diane : your honor , ms. jacks was the one witness -- franco : let her talk . let her talk . hey . forgive me . i 'm sorry , your honor . it 's just that ms. jacks has something to say , and i , for one , would like to hear it . dot you want to hear what she has to say ? diane : mm . judge powers : ms. jacks , you wanted to add something . carly : i do . uh , i , uh ... i wanted to say that before the surgery , i witnessed behavior that i did n't think was possible -- guilt , remorse . franco stated that he wanted to make amends , you know , tumor or no tumor . judge powers : for example ? carly : when he found out his nephew had leukemia and needed a bone - marrow transplant , franco desperately wanted to help . the only thing he wanted more was a relationship with his daughter . she had been kept from him her whole life . and then after he found out that he could n't help danny , he also found out that his daughter was n't really his . judge powers : and how did he respond to these disappointments -- with anger or rage ? carly : both , but not against anyone -- i mean , not that i saw at all . judge powers : what did you see ? carly : i saw franco at his lowest point , thinking about ending it all . franco -- this franco ... is haunted by the things that he 's done . so , when i look at ... him and i think about the monster he used to be , i just do n't see that man anymore . judge powers : and yet you express reservations . carly : yes . yes . i - i - i do . i - i mean , i see this , and i do n't understand . did you choose to commit all those crimes , or did the tumor make you do it ? i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i - i - i -- judge powers : as someone who observed the defendant from a unique vantage point , what do you think ? carly : i think ... he could be a better man . but then i wonder ... is this some kind of a game ? is this tumor just a convenient excuse ? i mean , is franco still that genius psychopath ? does he have me fooled ? sonny : you want to marry me ? connie : [ chuckles ] do n't you ? sonny : it 's what i always wanted . connie : then what are you waiting for ? hmm ? make me your wife . dante : [ sighs ] was n't him . morgan : then who was it ? dante : some other poor bastard same height and build as sonny who tried to stop a robbery . michael : meanwhile , dad 's still out there . dante : we 'll find him , okay ? why do n't you guys head back to sonny 's house ? we 'll regroup later . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa . where are you going ? dante : i 'm in the hospital . i got five minutes . i 'd like to see my wife and my child . michael : should we wait , or ... ? dante : no . you guys go back to sonny 's place , okay ? check in with kiki and my mother . who knows ? maybe they stumbled upon a lead while we were gone . kiki : i found some iced tea in the fridge . olivia : thanks . kiki , what are you doing ? kiki : what do you mean ? olivia : what are you doing in connie 's dress ? kiki : what dress ? olivia : her wedding dress ! kiki : [ chuckles ] olivia , i do n't know what you mean . olivia : okay . i got to go . i got to go . kiki : have to go where ? olivia : i think i know where sonny is . sonny : i do n't think i 've ever seen you look more beautiful . connie : right back at you , handsome . sonny : you ready ? connie : you remember your vows ? sonny : every word . do you ? connie : michael `` sonny `` corinthos ... sonny : constanza louise falconeri ... connie : ... i take you to be my husband and my partner from this day forward ... sonny : ... i will be true to you and cherish you . connie : ... share my thoughts , my hopes , my dreams with you . sonny : i will spend the rest of my life with you . connie : you 're my best friend . i will love you forever . sonny : i love you ... forever , in this life ... connie : and the next life . you may kiss your bride . patrick : hey , sabrina . it 's , uh -- it 's me . i know you 're still at work . i just wanted to let you know that i told emma about britt and the baby . and i wish you were here , 'cause it was n't easy , but , uh ... emma : daddy ? patrick : i got to call you back . what 's up , buddy ? emma : you do n't have to wait to get a little boy to play catch . patrick : [ chuckles ] you are the best . emma : [ giggles ] [ laughs ] patrick : this is awesome . what do you say we go outside and play a little catch , huh ? emma : yeah . [ laughs ] i love you , daddy . patrick : i love you , sweetheart . brad : uh , detective falconeri , i need to speak to you about something . britt : [ groaning ] [ breathing rhythmically ] nikolas : hey , what 's going on ? sabrina : we 're baking a cake . britt 's in labor . britt : [ breathing continues ] judge powers : thank you for your statement , ms. jacks . you 've given me much to consider . i need a day to review the materials the defense has provided as well as ms. jacks ' testimony before i can rule on the motion to dismiss . mr. lazaro , please feel free to use this time to fashion a rebuttal . lazaro : i have already started , your honor . judge powers : i wait with bated breath . ms. miller , next time , photographs . court is in recess . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise ! diane : well , i guess we know where carly stands . franco : do we ? i do n't think i have any idea where carly stands . carly : i guess i owe you an apology . franco : for what ? you were asked to tell the truth . that 's what you did . diane : oh , i 'm so glad you can be so sanguine about it . i hope you feel exactly the same way when you 're serving a life sentence in pentonville , because i 'm pretty sure that that 's exactly what your testimony just assured . connie : how does it feel to finally be married ? sonny : it feels right . connie : remember that feeling . keep it with you . sonny : do n't go . stay . connie : i 'll always be with you , sonny -- in your heart and in your memory . sonny : connie . i want more . connie : i wish i had more to give . i love you , sonny . goodbye . sonny : [ sighs ] kiki : hey ! did you find your dad ? morgan : no , it was n't him . michael : where 's olivia ? sonny : connie ... i love you ... in this life and the next . olivia : sonny ! no !

[ scene_break ] dante : the , uh , commissioner and the da 's office have gone over the statement you made about the shooting at the warehouse and the evidence they collected from the scene . sonny : and ? dante : they 're , uh , not pressing charges in the shooting . they 're calling it justifiable homicide . sonny : thanks for telling me . dante : maybe you can tell me something . sonny : what ? dante : last night at the station , you were pretty wound up . and that 's understandable , because jason had been shot , but , uh ... you 've had a chance to breathe and think a little bit . sonny : yeah . dante : i 'm wondering if anything has changed . sonny : what are you asking me ? dante : where do you go from here ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i should order . lulu : [ sighs ] valerie . we 've been avoiding each other for months . valerie : why should n't we ? we both did some pretty unforgivable things to each other . i really wish things had worked out differently . lulu : you know , i wanted that , too . i mean , i practically dragged you to port charles and into the spencer clan , whether you wanted to be a part of it or not . valerie : until i slept with your husband . lulu : and i hired a friend to run you out of town . instead , you almost burned to death . not really finding much moral high ground here . valerie : [ chuckles ] maybe we should quit while we 're behind . lulu : you know , all of that insanity feels like a lifetime ago . i do n't know . maybe it 's everything i 'm going through with charlotte -- the fact that i 've had to fight , literally fight , in court , for my daughter . it 's made me consider what family means to me . valerie : which is ? lulu : i think that family should have each other 's back , even when someone screws up , which we both did , by the way . i think family should be there for each other . valerie : yeah , but things do n't always turn out that way . lulu : that really depends on you and me . oh .

[ stammers , sighs ] all of it is just part of the job . ava : ah . you know , even i know that when a priest takes his vows , it 's more than merely a job . it 's a vocation , a calling . and from what i 've seen , you approach being a doctor the very same way . so losing a patient , someone special to you -- you ca n't just shrug that off . you ca n't work out your frustrations in the gym . you need to talk . you need somebody who will listen to you and understand . griffin : i 'm fine ! ava : clearly . no . griffin : thank you for trying to help . i just -- i - i need to be alone right now . ava : well -- well , then you , dr. griffin munro , are a hypocrite . [ scene_break ] michael : what , what ? what ? can you please tell me what happened ? i mean , how -- how was jason shot ? carly : your father met with the families to tell them that he planned on retiring , and he needed to make arrangements , he said , whatever that means . michael : i think it means he -- he was planning on dividing up his territory . carly : okay , well , jason was there 'cause he wanted to show his support for your father 's decision , and everyone seemed okay with it . everyone was on board . and then the representatives left , and so did jason , and your dad and max were there at the warehouse alone . and then this guy petrov came back , and he took max hostage . and then jason showed up because he somehow knew your father was in trouble , and then there was a standoff . and then sam came in the door . petrov went to shoot sam , and jason took the bullet for her . michael : okay , and -- and petrov is ... ? carly : your dad killed him . michael : any charges filed ? carly : no , no , it was clearly self - defense . sonny 's not gon na be charged , and diane would shut it down . michael : so dad 's okay ? carly : physically , he 's okay . but your dad blames himself for setting this whole thing in motion . [ scene_break ] dante : your retirement 's already , uh , set in motion . sonny : you want me to go through with it ? dante : [ chuckles ] well , yeah . i mean , it 's better than the alternative , right ? sonny : you 're afraid that if jason dies , i 'll retaliate . dante : will you ? sonny : what if petrov and his organization retaliates against me ? do we even know ? does anybody even know anything ? all i know right now is jason 's dying . and all i can do is wait . dante : all right . yeah , i 'm sorry . uh , we can talk about this later . sonny : well , you know what ? we can talk about it later , but i do n't know if i 'm gon na have any answers , 'cause all i know is jason is hooked up to a bunch of machines and the doctors tell me that he may not wake up . dante : um , again , i 'm sorry . sonny : he 's a brother to me , you know ? i already lost him once . there 's a good chance i 'm gon na lose him again . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping , oxygen hissing ] sam : [ voice breaking ] can you do me a favor and can you squeeze my hand ? [ sniffles ] just a little ? just the tiniest , little squeeze . that 's all i 'm asking for . [ sighs ] please . [ scene_break ] griffin : you think i 'm a hypocrite ? ava : yeah . you tell everybody else to reach out for help . you 've practically beaten down my door , saying , `` here i am to reach out to ! `` griffin : and you fought me all the way . ava : yeah . but , honestly , if it was n't for you , i 'd be at home , alone , downing martinis in the dark right now . instead i have hope . not tons of hope , mind you , but ... just enough . there are times i even consider facing my future . griffin : well , i am glad i could help you , but right now , i just -- i need to be alone . ava : for what ? why ? to wallow ? to indulge in a crisis of faith ? you need somebody to talk to -- anybody . it does n't have to be me . i 'm just standing here right in front of you . you 've listened to me . why do n't you let me listen to you ? griffin : because i have nothing to say ! ava : i do n't think that can possibly be true . griffin : it is true , because beyond feeling a profound sense of loss , i do n't know what else there is to talk about ! ava : well , tell me . how did you get this way -- feeling so deeply for your patients ? you know me . [ chuckles ] empathy has never been my strong suit , so i just ... i 'm curious as to how it happened . griffin : okay . [ sighs ] when i was a boy , things were pretty harsh . watching my mom struggle and growing up without a dad , i - i had to keep my guard up . ava : we have that in common . griffin : then i became an altar boy . ava : of course , you did . griffin : i know it sounds corny , but it 's the truth . and before you even ask , my priest was a good man . he treated us like we were god 's children . i found comfort in god and -- and the church . i was able to see beauty in the world , and i came to believe that the priesthood would be my life . ava : and how did you become a doctor ? griffin : at seminary , my superior noticed i was reading biology almost as much as theology . i - i needed to understand the how and the why of the human body and where the human soul fit into that . ava : oh . hence neurology . griffin : exactly . i thought my superiors would balk at the idea , but it was the opposite . they encouraged me to follow both paths . ava : that must have been tremendously challenging . griffin : and rewarding . i discovered that i could make a difference . when i doubted my calling as a priest , i always knew i - i - i could do something as a doctor . even when patients died , i knew i could ease their suffering . ava : but marisol ... griffin : marisol 's different . i really thought -- i really thought that i could save that little girl , and i failed . it brought me back to how harsh things were when i was a boy -- like nothing ever changed , like i should have never let my guard down . ava : with all due respect , father munro , you really are missing the point . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to unload on you . dante : that 's okay . i , uh -- i understand . sonny : i prayed so much that i do n't -- i do n't know if i can even pray anymore . dante : hmm . i might , uh , stick around and say a prayer myself , might even light one of these candles here . sonny : i 'm gon na go see jason .

[ sighs ] look at me ! i want my face back . i want to be able to look in the mirror and not be reminded of every mistake , of every crime and sin , of every person that i 've ever wronged .

[ sighs ] kristina : i was confused , too , you know , when i leveled unfounded accusations against you . uh - oh . looks like we 're both , you know , flawed , messed - up human beings . here 's a thought . let 's not cling to that . and how about we just , you know , move on ? parker : i 'll try and follow your example . kristina : mine ? parker : well , from the looks of it at the little soiree the other night , you found someone that you care about . i really hope that she 's supportive of you , especially everything going on with your family . kristina : uh , actually ... valerie : kristina . hey . [ scene_break ] michael : why would dad blame himself ? it 's not like he forced jason to be there . carly : no , of course not , but your father feels responsible , because he knew it would be very difficult , if not impossible , to retire . michael : so dad left himself vulnerable , and this petrov took advantage . carly : he was only doing what i asked him to do , michael . [ voice breaking ] all this is on me . michael : mom , mom , come on . carly : no , you do n't know ! [ sighs ] do you remember the night of the gun raid , the night that kiki was shot on the pier ? michael : yeah . carly : yeah , i went back there . i went back there later that night , and -- and the crates were still standing there filled with guns , and i lost it . i lost my mind . i was sick of the violence , and i was sick of the grief and the fear , and so i just started throwing the guns in the harbor . and your dad found me . i mean , i always [ chuckles ] thought i could handle it , you know ? the violence -- i hated it . i was terrified of it , but i knew it was a part of the life i chose . but ... ... after that night , i 've been pushing your father to find another way , that he had to find another way . and then after morgan was killed , i basically told him that if he wanted -- if he wanted to have a family , he was going to have to let go of the business . michael : mom , that 's not how the business works . carly : i know it 's not , okay ? i get that . i was n't being realistic , and i was n't being fair , but i wanted what i wanted , and your dad wanted to give it to me . and now all of this has happened because of that . michael : mom , you can not blame yourself . carly : [ sighs ] michael , if i had n't forced your father 's hand , none of this would have happened . [ scene_break ] sam : i loved our wedding . [ monitor beeping ] sam : i loved standing in front of spinelli with our family and friends watching , promising to spend the rest of our lives together . i want to keep those vows , okay ? i want to promise to love and to cherish you [ voice breaking ] in sickness and in health . i want to grow old together , side by side , loving each other .

[ scene_break ] michael : you did n't force dad out of the business , okay ? that was his choice . and you did n't shoot jason . so is any of this really your fault ? huh ? is it ? or are you just being overdramatic and making this about you when it is n't ? mom , how -- how is blaming yourself good for anybody else ? carly : it is n't . michael : no , it is n't . so why do n't we -- why do n't we do something that might actually help , right ? why do n't we -- i do n't know -- sit at the hospital and bring sam food that she wo n't eat or coffee that she wo n't drink ? carly : you know who you sound like ? michael : yeah , mom . i sound like you . carly : jason . you do . [ chuckles ] when you were younger , you know , i used to get [ chuckles ] so wound up that i could talk myself into something crazy , and jason would be the only one who could get through to me . you 're so much like him . or how he used to be , but [ chuckles ] michael : well , then take it from me , mom , when i tell you that jason is the last person who 'd want you to blame yourself . he 'd want you to be strong , and he 'd want you to get through this . carly : you 're right . and that 's what i 'm gon na do . come on . michael : okay , all right .

'cause that 's what this is about , right ? you do n't know how to fix him so you 're trying to fix me . i guess the `` crimson `` advice column goes both ways . maxie : fine . i will admit that i was convinced i could snap spinelli out of this fantasy world he 's living in . tried everything i could think of . i even took him to georgie 's grave . but he 's just staying fixated on the weirdest things . like you and calling you moonlight . lulu : i think it 's pretty normal . maxie : very funny , lulu , but this is serious . i thought at least taking spinelli to see jason in the hospital bed , that would snap him out of it , but that did n't even work . and now i ca n't even find spinelli . lulu : well , it seems like you have a lot on your plate . what 's going on with matt ? maxie : what about matt ? lulu : well , i have n't heard you mention his name once . i mean , is there trouble in paradise ?

'cause some of it 's relevant , and some of it 's completely irrelevant . jake : hey ! this is the picture of your real imaginary friend . you were looking at it again ? franco : yeah . sometimes when things are confusing , i like ... i like to look at a picture , you know ? an image of something that 's actually confusing me , or sometimes just an image that i like to look at . 'cause it grounds me . puts me back in reality . remember how you and i talked about the things that we could do to help us feel centered , right ? jake : yeah , i get it . it 's a good idea . hey , can you help me with something ? franco : absolutely . what do you need help with ? jake : um , grandma monica dropped off a box of old pictures a few weeks ago . she asked me to scan them to the cloud for her . i 'll bet if i finish doing that tonight , it might help grandma monica . keep her centered . me , too , i guess . franco : that 's , uh ... an almost great idea . i think if -- if you count me in , then it would be , you know , almost perfect . jake : well , then , you 're in ! franco : okay . [ scene_break ] michael : how is jason holding up ? is he , uh ... any update ? sonny : not that i can see . but they 're going to take him , do more tests . michael : how are you holding up ? sonny : as well as i can be . i mean ... if it was n't for me , he would n't have been in that warehouse . so ... that 's basically the way i feel . michael : but , dad , it does n't do you or jason any good to blame yourself . it does n't -- jason definitely would n't blame you . all right ? he 'd -- he 'd want you , he 'd want ... all of us to stay positive , be strong . we -- we both know how -- how strong jason is . we all know how much of a fighter he is . he 's made it out of much worse situations than this . sonny : i hope to god you 're right . but this one just feels ... different . michael : look , i - i 'll tell you what . why -- why do n't you ... why do n't you get some rest ? all right ? go for a walk , and i 'll stay here and , uh , and i 'll call you if there are any updates . sonny : i 'm glad you came home . michael : yeah , me , too . sonny : means a lot . i love you . michael : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] ava : i ca n't keep track of what you want anymore . now you want me to stay ? griffin : yes . i do n't want to leave things like this between us -- awkward and uncomfortable . ava : too bad . they are . now , i - i take some of the blame myself . i should have known from the moment that you prayed by my bedside you have a savior complex . you have to do whatever you can to make sure that everything 's okay . like now , asking me to stay . why ? to dissect what happened ? how i felt ? how you encouraged my feelings ... accidentally ? [ chuckles ] the simple truth is you ca n't stand the thought of somebody being upset with you . i am ! [ voice breaking ] i put myself on the line here . and you rejected me , and ... that hurts me ! i am ! i 'm upset ! and maybe i misread the signals , okay . i - i took things a bit far , okay . i own that . but despite your rationalizations , there must have been something in your behavior for me to misread , so do n't put it all on me ! griffin : you 're right ! you 're right . i 'm as much to blame for this as you are . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i know we ca n't go back in time and find ... the definitive moment that could have changed everything . but i wish we could . you know , the , um ... the series of events , the ... chain reaction that led up to morgan getting in julian 's car that night . i mean , if one -- one thing were different , morgan would still be here . now i 'm thinking the same thing about jason . you know , like , what if ? what if -- what if he stayed jake doe ? and he never remembered his old life ? i mean , he would be safer , right ? he would never feel compelled to save sonny . [ sighs ] maybe this is all on me . i mean , i pushed and i pushed for sonny to get out of the business , to protect his family . and now it 's jason and his family who are paying the price . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] curtis : what about the air vents ? jordan : well , roxy is a cold - blooded animal , so i really doubt that she 's going to want cold air blowing on her . no , i think that she probably has found a safe , dark place to nest . curtis : so , when did you become the lizard whisperer ? jordan : i 'm not . i just ... you remember when tj was really little , and he was so cute ? he had that pet guinea pig ? curtis : guinea pig , yeah . jordan : yeah , the thing got loose . was bamboo ? curtis : i mean , that 's hardly the same as a bearded ... lizard , dragon . jordan : no , okay , but they 're both pets who are not as domesticated as , say , a dog or cat , right ? the minute they get a shot of freedom , then out they go . [ snaps fingers ] i must have spent ... an entire sunday afternoon searching our apartment for that damn guinea pig . and you know what ? i 'll tell you what , it was well worth it to see the look and the smile on tj 's face when i found his pet . curtis : well , you know , the things we do for those we love . jordan : um ... let 's see ... ooh . well , well , well . look what we have here . [ scene_break ] griffin : ava , i am sorry i sent you mixed messages . the fact is i enjoy your company thoroughly . even before your accident , i felt our connection . maybe in a different world , there would be more to explore between us , but i - i ca n't let myself go there . not in my ... head , and not in my heart . and i 'm not trying to dismiss your feelings . i have feelings , too . desire does n't just go away when you take sacred vows , but i did take them . i should n't have been reckless with your heart while i danced on the edge of that line . i ... i 'm sorry . ava : that 's it ? that 's your apology ? you used me to play with fire , and you did n't think that anybody was going to get burned ? well , take it from me ... fire does n't work that way . griffin : the vow of celibacy is sacred . i should never cross that line . ava : [ scoffs ] well , where was that vow when you hopped into the sack with claudette ? [ scene_break ] jake : this is my dad when he was a teenager . he looks so different . franco : well , i mean , that 's because of the accident . you -- you know that . but he pulled through 'cause he 's a tough guy and he survives . that 's what he does , and that 's what he 's going to do this time . jake : everyone keeps saying that . but no one knows for sure . franco : i 'm pretty sure that your dad is going to stick around , if for no other reason than to keep us all on our toes , right ? [ door opens ] elizabeth : hi , guys . jake : hi , mom . elizabeth : sorry i 'm late . jake : what is it ? is dad okay ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : how are you ? michael : uh ... i do n't know . it 's just so unreal , you know ? i keep trying to tell myself that jason 's going to be okay , but my parents are ... are pretty wrecked . i mean , i have n't seen my mom this devastated since ... since morgan ... bobbie : so you 've seen your mom since you got back ? michael : yeah , earlier today . bobbie : did she mention anything important ? michael : i mean , other than jason being shot , no . why ? what 's going on ? bobbie : [ clears throat ] michael : nelle ? hey ! nelle : hi . [ scene_break ] carly : so , what 's going on ? any news ? sonny : uh ... not yet . the ... jason is doing more tests . michael is back . carly : oh . did they have fun at the water park ? sonny : well , danny had fun . carly : [ laughing ] oh . did you get a chance to talk to michael ? i know he 's been really worried . sonny : yeah , he 's just on me . he was just saying that i did n't -- that i should n't blame myself for jason getting shot . carly : yeah . he said the same thing to me , you know . sonny : well , he 's right about that , 'cause it 's not your fault . i was in the life . it was my decision to get out . even though i ... deep down ... i knew it was n't realistic . carly : what are you trying to tell me ? sonny : i made a lot of promises to you , carly . i promised you that i was getting out of the business , and ... after everything that 's happened ... ... i got to s -- i ... carly : say it . sonny : i got to stay in the organization . i got to ... there 's no getting out of this life for me . [ scene_break ] griffin : what happened with claudette , that affair , that was a mistake . i 've never been so ashamed of anything in my entire life , but that helped me refocus , reconnect to the life that 's better for me and everyone else . ava : will you stop lying ? if you ca n't be honest with me , at least be honest with yourself . if claudette had left nathan west to be with you , would you have walked away from her , or would you have followed your heart and walked away from the priesthood ? you know , i have nothing but respect for priests . they answer a calling that i can not possibly understand . but it 's not for every man , and i 'm betting it 's not for you . oh , do n't look so shocked . you have n't been a real priest in a long time , griffin . you had one foot out the door because of a woman -- a passionate blonde with a self - destructive streak . guess you have a type , huh ? but it does make me wonder -- why claudette and not me ? why was she able to tempt you away from your vows and i ca n't ? oh , i know . it 's because of my face . [ scene_break ] michael : so , uh , when 'd you get in ? nelle : uh , just a little while ago . i came straight here to see how you were doing . how is -- how 's jason ? michael : um ... uh , there 's still no updates . he 's still in a coma . [ sighs ] are you okay ? you look a little exhausted . nelle : it was a long flight . michael : you did n't get any sleep ? nelle : i was a little restless , i guess . i do n't know . michael : well , is everything okay ? did they find the missing necklace ? bobbie : missing necklace ? nelle : yeah , it was all just -- it was just a big misunderstanding , and yes , it turned up . do n't worry . but , um ... not before i had to spend the night in jail . [ scene_break ] carly : so you 're not , uh , divesting ... your territories or giving up any of your business interests ? sonny : i 'm putting a halt to everything . we did this to protect our family , but i ca n't do this unless i 'm in a position of strength . carly : by holding onto your territories ? sonny : what happened with petrov is just one example . my allies , my enemies -- if they see my walking away , they 're gon na -- they 're gon na strike , and i ca n't let them see me weak again . carly : sonny -- sonny : listen . no , no . no , no , just let me -- let me -- i - i ... i tried , carly . i wanted -- i wanted to give you the life that you deserve , that i - i wanted to do for you , i wanted to do for us . i 've done this too many times now . i ca n't do it . i 'm gon na have to recommit myself to the organization , and i know you do n't want to be any part of that . and i do n't blame you . so i got to do ... whether it 's hard -- oh , it 's very hard ... i got to do what 's right . i - i got to let you go . [ scene_break ] jake : what 's wrong , mom ? is dad okay ? elizabeth : oh , yeah , yeah . baby , he 's fine . he 's ... he 's still sleeping . i 'm just tired . it 's been a long day at work , that 's all . what are you boys up to ? jake : um , i was just scanning these pictures for grandma monica , and franco was helping me finish the project . elizabeth : oh , that 's such a nice idea . but , you know , we got to get back on a school schedule , so why do n't you take this stuff upstairs and get ready for bed , okay ? jake : okay . elizabeth : okay . i love you . jake : me , too . franco : okay . come on , what 's going on ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] just coming home to you and jake , seeing you guys sitting there smiling and safe , knowing cameron and aiden are probably making a mess upstairs . i have a lot . i have so much , while sam ... is still sitting in the hospital wondering if jason 's ever gon na wake up . she 's barely left his side . she told sonny all she wants is ... just a little more time with him . franco : which is totally understandable . elizabeth : i 'm part of the reason ... she lost time with jason . 'cause i lied to create an illusion of having a family with him , i stole their precious time together , and now it might be running out . i do n't know how sam or danny could ever forgive me . i do n't know how to forgive myself . [ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't have to tell you that you and the kids mean everything to me . so here 's -- here 's what we should do -- cut all ties , resume the divorce . that way , we can put some distance between us . they ca n't use you as leverage . and if you think i 'm not gon na miss you , you 're crazy , 'cause i - i 'm gon na miss you so much . but at least i 'll be able to sleep at night -- carly : you got to stop . you got to stop , because i 'm not going anywhere . sonny : what are you saying , carly ? carly : we need each other , sonny , now more than ever . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i pushed you to leave the business because i blamed the business for the cycle of violence that surrounded us , and i wanted to break that cycle . i thought i could help you . but it ca n't be broken , not without cost . listen to me , okay ? if you ca n't leave the business , and you have to stay in the business , you have to make sure that you are so powerful that no one comes after you or your family . i get that now , and i 'm with you , all the way . [ scene_break ] michael : this is ridiculous . where -- where was nina in all this ? did she at least call the u.s. embassy ? nelle : yeah , she called them . someone from the consulate showed up to the police station within , i do n't know , 15 minutes . they made such a stink about it , they did n't -- they did n't even put me in a cell . you know , i was just in the holding room all night , and then they escorted me back to nina 's the next morning . michael : this whole thing is absolutely insane . nelle : yeah , well , thankfully -- thankfully , mr. cassadine found the necklace in one of the makeup artist 's bags . i guess -- i guess she did n't know it was in there . you know , i was told rochelle just had no idea . michael : who 's that ? is that the redhead ? i - i - i - i know a naomi , but i do n't think i met rochelle . nelle : you know , come to think of it , the makeup artist 's name was naomi . rochelle was the name mr. cassadine gave . i do n't know . maybe he got it mixed up ? i 'm just so glad it is over with , and i just want to go home and take a shower . michael : yeah , why do n't you do that , then ? why do n't you do that ? why -- why do n't you go home -- run on home , get some rest . bobbie : that sounds like a good idea . nelle : do you want to come with me ? we can order food , get some rest , and then we can come back and see jason first thing in the morning . michael : um ... you know what ? yeah , i 'd , um ... i 'd love that . nelle : okay . michael : yeah , let 's do that . yeah . um ... grandma , are you -- are you gon na be here ? bobbie : sure , honey , i 'll stay and wait . michael : okay . thank you . um , just call me , please , with any updates . bobbie : absolutely . i 'm on the case . michael : all right . thank you . [ scene_break ] griffin : ava , i do n't care how you look . i care about you as a person . ava : oh , please . save the noble talk . i care how i look . the world cares how i look . so why do n't we just face the fact ? why do n't we say it out loud ? if i was n't so disfigured , i might be able to tempt you , once again , from your vows . griffin : no . ava , my vows will be part of my life regardless if i 'm a practicing priest or not . ava : i was so impressed with you -- your dedication , your compassion . but now i see the flaw . you wo n't ... you ca n't take responsibility for yourself at all . you use the priesthood as a crutch . you could 've resigned -- you probably should 've resigned -- years ago , but you did n't . and why ? because if you can hide behind that collar , then you do n't have to get your hands dirty . you are a flesh - and - blood man with needs and wants and anger and fears , and it 's all so messy . it scares you to death . you know what 's so funny ? [ chuckles ] all this time , you 've been telling me not to hide behind my mask . at least i admit that i 'm wearing one . [ scene_break ] curtis : she 's safe . jordan : mission accomplished . curtis : whew ! jordan : we did it . curtis : yes . [ both chuckle ] curtis : yeah , um ... you know , i 've had dea cases less stressful than that . jordan : [ laughing ] right ? curtis : [ chuckles ] wow . well , we should celebrate . i sure could use a drink . how about you ? jordan : maybe i should n't , you know ? curtis : hmm . well , you were on your way to the bar anyway , unless you all of a sudden like drinking by yourself nowadays . jordan : [ scoffs ] curtis : now , uh ... should i get you a glass or out of the bottle like you always do ? jordan : what do you mean ? better give me that thing . what do you think ? [ chuckles ] curtis : what do i think ? i think we make a good team . we always have , and we always will . [ kissing ] [ scene_break ] sonny : you 've been wanting me to get out for years , carly . carly : i still do ! hopefully one day , but not now . reality has come crashing down around us , sonny . we 're gon na have to recommit to your business until you can leave safely , and i will be sitting right by your side . sonny : i do not want you to become a target . carly : i have been a target since i fell in love with you . walking away is not gon na change that . sonny : i hate this ! you know i hate it , 'cause i know how -- how you feel about the organization . carly : hey . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i married you knowing exactly who you were and what you did , okay ? and what i hate mostly are the secrets and the lies . you know , the specifics of your business , i looked away from mainly for protection . but i 'm here with you . but things have to be different this time . sonny : how so ? carly : no more keeping me in the dark . no , and no more secrets , sonny . sonny : well , i can -- carly : i have to know the threats against our family . i have to . sonny : i can only tell you what i can tell you . i do n't want to make you an accessory . carly : okay . i know how this business works , okay ? i 'm gon na be right by your side until we can figure a way out . sonny : and what if we ca n't ? what if this is the way it is , this is the reality ? carly : then that 's the harsh truth of our life , and we have to accept it . god help us . [ scene_break ] franco : there 's no point in beating yourself up or second - guessing things that you ca n't change . and who 's to say that if you did n't do what you did that -- that it would n't have been even worse for jason ? elizabeth : i do n't understand what you 're saying . franco : what if he came back after the accident , he picked up right where he left off with sam and right -- right where he left off with his old life with sonny , then maybe it would 've been him that wound up shot on the docks that night instead of duke . elizabeth : unless he survived , and then they 'd both be alive . franco : right , which again , this illustrates my point perfectly , because it 's all hypotheticals , and you 're just gon na make yourself crazy . there 's only one reality , all right ? one past , one present , and whatever happens in the future is up to us . you taught me that . your little boy , jakey , needs you in the present , okay , 'cause he 's a kid . that 's where they live , and he 's scared . he 's looking up junk on the internet right now . elizabeth : [ voice breaking ] oh , god . if he loses his dad right now , after everything that 's happened , i do n't know how i can handle it . franco : you 're a strong person , and you can handle it . and if for some reason you ca n't handle it , then i 'll be strong enough for all of us . [ scene_break ] bobbie : carly . carly : hey . is there any news ? bobbie : no , not yet . michael asked me to wait . he left with nelle . carly : oh . so everyone 's back . bobbie : yeah . honey , look , i know this is n't the best time ... carly : [ sighs ] bobbie : ... but we really do need to talk about nelle . carly : you 're right , this is n't the best time . mom , jason could die . that 's the only thing i can think about right now . bobbie : honey , i know . i know , but that 's what has me worried . see , last time this family was in crisis , nelle used that as an opportunity to take advantage , and i 'm just worried that if felicia 's intel on her is true , nelle 's gon na strike at michael when we 're not looking . carly : okay , `` if `` being the operative word . this intel is pretty circumstantial to me , mom . bobbie : but you know what ? it 's raised some red flags for me , and more of them just raised after nelle 's visit to morocco . [ scene_break ] jordan : w - w - we have to stop . we need to stop . curtis : huh ? jordan : we have to stop . curtis : why ? you know , the more i think about our little arrangement , the less it makes sense to me . jordan : what do we -- wait , what do you -- what do you expect us to do here , huh ? run around behind stella 's back like a couple of teenagers ? curtis : come on . no , no , no . to hell with all that hiding and -- and -- and damn all the secrets . aunt stella is getting better every day . jordan : as long as we do n't add to her stress levels . curtis : i - i 'm not trying to add to her stress levels , baby , but stress is a part of everyday life . now , aunt stella was sick , um , already before , so you can just get that out of your pretty head . jordan : curtis , you do n't ... you have no idea what it 's like to be the source of so much pain . curtis : [ scoffs ] oh , no ? well ... you 're no saint , i 'm no saint . we 've both made our mistakes . we 're just two people trying to do better . and the fact that we 've stayed connected after everything -- that means something to me . jordan : yeah , but it is enough ? curtis : it is for me . unless you 're trying to use aunt stella to keep us from getting together . jordan : no . no , i 'm not . i 'm not . i just ... i 'm -- i 'm sorry that all this back and forth has just been so exhausting . i do n't know , maybe -- maybe all of these obstacles might be trying to tell us something . curtis : hmm . like an omen ? huh . none of that matters . jordan : and why not ? curtis : because i am dangerously close , i mean , mm ... to falling in love with you , jordan ashford . jordan : y - you 're falling in love with me ? curtis : dangerously close . look , you ai n't got to say nothing . i just ... thought you should know . i ai n't going nowhere , ash . [ kissing ] [ scene_break ] sonny : time out , time out . griffin : [ panting ] oh , hey . uh , how -- how you doing ? how you feeling ? sonny : [ sighs ] much better . almost 100 % . griffin : good . sonny : yeah . can i hit the bag a little bit ? i just got to ... let off some steam . griffin : yeah . it 's , uh , it 's all yours . hey , i , uh ... i 've been monitoring jason . uh , sorry about things . sonny : i do n't suppose you could tell me anything . griffin : no . no , i 'm , uh ... i 'm actually waiting for the test results myself , so for now ... that bag will have to do . sonny : well , i got to tell you , jason is the reason that , you know , things are eating at me . not to mention ... the harsh truths of life . griffin : yeah . yeah , i get you . [ scene_break ] ava : valentin , it 's ava jerome . you said you could arrange for a miracle ? well , perhaps we should talk after all . [ scene_break ] carly : did they or did they not find who really took the necklace ? bobbie : there seems to be some ambiguity around that , but then there 's always ambiguity around nelle . i mean , why do things always seem to keep happening whenever she 's around ? carly : i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe nelle has the gift of being at the wrong place at the wrong time . maybe nelle is just unlucky . maybe she 's accident - prone , but , mom , that does n't make her a thief or a murderer . bobbie : honey , i know this is a difficult time for you . carly : [ sighs ] bobbie : but this time , please just listen to me when it comes to nelle . i really think it 's a big mistake to let your guard down , especially if there 's a chance michael is getting into bed with a black widow . [ scene_break ] franco : ca n't change the past , huh ? all you can do is make a better future . jake : franco ? i need you to look at this . this is a picture of my dad when he was a little kid . does n't he look like your real imaginary friend ? franco : identical . [ next_on ] stella ( to tj ) : as far as i 'm concerned , my work here is done . jordan ( to curtis ) : are we back together ? scott ( to franco ) : i 'm afraid i 'm not gon na make things any better . elizabeth : what would it take ? griffin : figuring out how i feel . valentin ( to ava ) : i just need a yes or a no . amy ( to nathan ) : it 's not over between us . maxie ( to nina ) : i want to come back to work for crimson .

[ scene_break ] faith : oh , my goodness . you 're a regular calamity jane , are n't you ? wow . well , i 'll give you this -- you are a resilient little thing . but there 's no way you 're going to bounce back from this one . ric is finally free . well , you rest in peace , little one . i hope you 're busing tables in hell .

[ knock on door ] cynthia : see ? i knew he 'd reconsider . who are you ? a.j . : you just took the words right out of my mouth . i wondered why ned was screaming for you . what 's -- what 's going on ? alice : well , you know , i ca n't really tell you . i do n't know . cynthia : my name is cindy . a.j . : a.j . , the cousin . i see that you and ned are -- are pretty close . [ scene_break ] nikolas : 200 years ago , another nikolas cassadine had that bracelet made for his wife . he gave it to her when he went off to war as a symbol of his love and the heart that he -- that he pledged to her forever . they never saw each other again . emily : he died ? nikolas : he was killed in battle . but she never remarried . that bracelet stayed on her wrist for 60 years . the only time she ever took it off was on her deathbed , and that was to pass it -- pass it on and the legend on to future generations . emily : only you would have a story like that . nikolas : i know it sounds corny and a little silly , but -- emily : no , it 's beautiful . nikolas : either way , i -- i ca n't go against it . i could never give that bracelet to anyone but you . emily : i want to keep it , nikolas , more than anything . to know that despite your marriage to lydia , i have your heart , which i can wear on my arm like our own special secret . but that 's completely selfish , and it 's -- it 's so unfair to you . [ scene_break ] sonny : there are real dangers , present ones -- the work we do , alcazar , the fact that my brother 's insane and he can go off at any time . or , you know , michael came close to dying , and my baby could be facing the same complications . but that 's not what stopped me cold this afternoon . i lost my first child to a car bomb and , you know , my second a.j . pushed carly down the stairs , right ? i never got to hold them . i never got to -- i never got to see their faces . i saw my son 's face today . jason : i -- i know . that 's good . sonny : i know it is , but maybe it 's more than i should be getting right now . jason : but you 're not thinking this way because it makes sense , sonny . just like you said , you lost two children . sonny : right . jason : right ? you know what that pain feels like . you 're bracing yourself against it . that 's instinct for survival . but that 's not what 's going to happen . sonny : i 've never gotten this far with a child of mine . ok . is there any worse hell than getting all the way here and losing another child ? but that 's the price i got to pay for how i live , you know , for everything that i 've taken . jason : right , the same with me . i ca n't tell you that you 're wrong . but you 've got to live through to the other side . i mean , you got to hold your baby . you 're going to name that boy , you 're going to introduce him to michael . come on , you 're going to bring him home , you 're going to watch him grow up strong like carly , brave like you . you know what ? that 's what you got to remember because this is carly 's baby , too . so even if you think you do n't deserve a child , you know , maybe god thinks carly does . sonny : all right , listen , carly 's probably done with the doctor . can you take her home ? jason : yeah . yeah . sonny : all right , there 's something i just got to -- just got to do something . jason : all right . [ scene_break ] andy : hey , how 's her condition ? paramedic : she has a closed head injury , but her vitals are stable . we 're taking her to general hospital . scott : wait a second . hold on a second . what happened to elizabeth ? andy : i do n't know . she seems to be a victim of a hit - and - run . scott : who called it in ? andy : it was anonymous , and at this point , we got no witnesses . scott : well , go on , get her out of here . and you know what ? this is a residential area here . these people were home . get some uniforms around , go door to door , see if you can i.d . the car , the driver . i need a corroborating witness . andy : whoa , what do you mean , corroborating ? you know who hit elizabeth lansing ? scott : yeah , i got a pretty good idea .

[ scene_break ] emily : i married zander , nikolas . maybe not for the right reasons . i thought i was dying , and i wanted to give him what he wanted most . but a funny thing happened on the way to the other side -- i lived . nikolas : and thank god for that . emily : and now -- emily : i 've promised that life to zander . and it -- it does n't matter what -- it does n't matter what i feel for you . it 's irrelevant because i wo n't -- i wo n't back out of the vows i took . i wo n't be unfaithful to my husband , and that means i ca n't wear -- i ca n't wear a bracelet you gave me and secretly -- secretly treasure the promise it symbolizes . it 's too unfair to zander , a man who has given me his soul . i 'm asking you as a friend , please take -- take the bracelet . nikolas : i 'm sorry . emily : no . you do n't have to apologize . nikolas : yes , i do . you do n't make promises you do n't keep , and i should n't do that , either . emily : no , you 're wrong , nikolas . nikolas : all things considered , it 's completely inappropriate for me to give you this . emily : it was the most -- the most meaningful gift anyone has ever given me . and if things had worked out another way , i would have been honored to wear it for the next 60 years . [ scene_break ] jason : courtney ? courtney : you came back . jason : where else would i go ? courtney : anywhere . as far away from me as possible . jason : i 'm not leaving . no matter what . i just hate feeling like i ca n't help you when you need me .

[ scene_break ] faith : going somewhere ? great , we could use some fun . ric : `` we `` ? faith : yeah , i 'm going with you . [ scene_break ] scott : ric told me that you pushed elizabeth down the stairs last spring . i tend to believe him because i think that you 're a lowlife , corinthos . i think you 're capable of anything to make ric suffer . sonny : are you spouting another bogus theory just to hear yourself talk ? or do you actually have proof that i was anywhere near where you say this was ? scott : this has got your stench all over it . sonny : you 're just trying to -- you 're trying to provoke me , are n't you ? it 's not going to work , baldwin . scott : ok , ok . just to -- sonny : what ? scott : let 's not argue here , all right ? let 's -- if you did n't do it -- sonny : right . scott : any idea who might have ?

[ scene_break ] jason : i 've never seen that . did you buy it when you found out ? courtney : no , it 's -- it 's the welcome - home gift carly gave us when we got back from south america . i waited till i was alone to open it , and then i just put it away because i did n't think i was going to tell you about the miscarriage . maybe i should n't have . jason : why do you say that ? courtney : maybe -- i do n't know , maybe it would be easier for you not to know . jason : no . yeah , i could see something tearing you up inside when the secret was already between us . if you had kept it , we would have grown further apart , not closer . no matter how bad , it 's always better to know . courtney : i 'm so sorry , jason . oh , god , i want to handle this better . i do . i want to be able to take it in stride and bounce back and move on , but i ca n't . and it just -- it makes me angry , you know ? i mean , first at myself and then at you , like somehow it 's your fault even though i know it is n't . it 's like i 'm trapped in this vicious cycle of anger and grief . maybe we should give it away . you know , send it to some homeless shelter for a kid who really needs it . jason : maybe you need to keep it . courtney : why ? jason : i do n't know . you kept it . you must have a reason . courtney : i guess -- i guess it 's the only proof that i have that our baby was ever there .

[ scene_break ] luke : well , we 've heard more than enough from the peanut gallery . what about you , sweetheart ? lulu : i do n't know . i do n't see myself as a mom . i really do n't . but i ca n't imagine signing my baby over to the quartermaines and then just walking away . luke : well , those are only two of the options . lulu : i have the facts . and i know that it 's not easy -- nothing is . but when i shut out all the noise , i think that abortion is my best option . then tracy thinks that i 'm going to regret it , and edward wants to get an injunction against it . lucky has gone totally off the deep end . and carly says that she would never do it -- and she 's the one who 's most like me , so she would know . dillon looks like he 's always going to cry . and the only person who says she understands is georgie , but who can blame her ? because if i do n't have this baby , then she gets to get back together with dillon . luke : hold -- hold on a second . it sounds like you 're making this decision based on some kind of survey you 've made of a bunch of people who have themselves to think about , not you . i mean , these people do n't care about you . they should n't even be involved . lulu : you know that you ca n't keep a secret in this house . luke : you have a good amount of this , and an extraordinary amount of this . you 're more than capable of putting the two on the same page and making a decision that 's right for you . see , these people -- they 're going to be out of your life next year , or in a decade , or even tomorrow . who knows ? but you , you 'll be here , and you 'll be living with this decision the rest of your life . if what you think is right is to terminate this pregnancy , do n't let anyone talk you out of it . lulu : i do n't know what i want -- that 's the problem . i just know that i do n't want to have a baby that 's not wanted -- like you did . [ scene_break ] sonny : i already told you if -- alexis dies , she wants ric to raise our daughter , my daughter , because she wants both girls to grow up together i do n't have a problem with that at all . what i have a problem with is she would n't even be asking me if she knew what ric did . okay ? now , what am i supposed to do at this point ? she 's sick , i ca n't say no , but there 's no way i 'm letting ric raise my daughter . ric has -- has always been obsessed with proving himself to me , and it 's a waste of both of our times , and i 'll never be what he wants me to be . so he hates me , and he tries to hurt me by using the people i care about to do it . lainey : would it be that hard for you to show your brother some kindness ? sonny : please do n't -- do n't defend my brother . lainey : i 'm not . i 'm just -- i 'm asking you how you feel about him . sonny : like i said , he 's twisted , and he knows it 's over now . i 'm -- i 'm done with him . and , you know , the only thing that i really worry about is that he 's going to use kristina as leverage against me . lainey : how do you feel about that -- believing your own brother hates you that much ? sonny : well , i feel nothing . you know , in my business , when someone does that to you , when they 're that big of a threat -- lainey : what , sonny ? what do you do against a threat that big ? sonny : you figure it out .

[ sam chuckles ] alexis : i guess i have . it 's always nice when a man knows how to lead . sam : yeah , but i just -- i really do n't think i 'm going to be doing any dancing , so -- alexis : i 've noticed that things have gotten a little awkward between you and ric . i really think that you should give him a chance . sam : well , you do n't ask for much , do you ? alexis : it really would be better for kristina and molly if the two of you could get along .

[ scene_break ] lainey : hi . i 'm sorry i could n't be here sooner . i was with a patient . how are you ? alexis : i 'm tired , which is absurd , considering all the sleep that i 've been getting . when i 'm awake , all i think about is what 's best for molly and kristina , or how betrayed i feel by sam and ric . i know you said this whole thing is going to blow up in my face , but , really , what choice do i have ? lainey : what 's your best - case scenario ? alexis : that the cancer goes away and i 'm able to live my life . lainey : and what if you do n't survive ? alexis : then sam and ric have to form a bond so that they can take care of kristina and molly as a family . lainey : what if ric and sam do `` bond , `` as you like to put it , and then you survive this illness ? what if you have to face a whole new level of intimacy , one that you created ? ric : be ready at 7 : 00 . sam : excuse me ? ric : the mayor 's party tomorrow night -- be ready to go no later than 7 : 00 . sam : yeah , okay . i 'll meet you there . ric : no . the idea was for the two of us to go together so that we can present a unified front on alexis ' behalf . sam : let me be real clear with you , ric . i will go to this party , but there is no way i 'm going to ride in the car with you , and there 's no way i 'm going to dance with you . not going to happen . ric : even though alexis wants us to go together ? [ scene_break ] luke : life does n't come with a user 's manual . it 's -- it 's all about experience and instinct . when it came to family , i had plenty of instincts and very , very little experience . i mean , for barbara jean and me , our life was just trying to get through to the next day . it was ugly ; it was brutal . but your mother 's experience was totally different . she had a family and she loved them and they loved her . and you got caught in the car wreck between our experience and our love . sometimes what you experience when you 're young follows you the rest of your life . the monsters that chase me are ruthless . but i survived them . and they do n't mean that i do n't love my children or that i did n't want to have any kids . whatever happened in your youth , it did n't make you an emotional cripple . you 're capable of making this decision . all you need is enough peace and quiet to listen to your heart . if you should decide to have this baby , then i 'll do my damnedest to be a better grandfather than i was a father . and if you decide that it 's better not to have the baby , i 'll do whatever i can to help you . but this decision -- it 's not about the past . this is all about your future . [ scene_break ] alexis : what ric and sam did was unspeakable . but i 'm certain they have a lot of remorse over what they did , and i seriously doubt they 'll ever do it again . lainey : so why push them into proximity ? alexis : i told you why , lainey . and maybe i want to see if they 'll do it again . especially ric , if ric will do it again . lainey : have you ever thought about just confronting him ? alexis : well , then i 'd have to tell him that i saw him do it the first time and i ca n't do that . lainey : so this is a test -- push ric towards sam , see if he falls ? but , alexis , you might be perpetuating the very thing that you 're trying to avoid . [ scene_break ] sam : what alexis wants is peace between us for kristina and molly 's sake . ric : it would be nice . sam : what do you want , ric ? ric : you know what ? there 's a point where your paranoia becomes a little offensive . sam : look , i 'm going to go to this party because i promised my mother i would , and i 'll even pretend that you do n't make me sick to my stomach . do n't come near me again . ric : you know what ? you keep bringing up the possibility , sam . so , what , are you warning me , or are you issuing an invitation ? [ scene_break ] sonny : jason is away on business , he ca n't be reached . but he 'll be calling in , if you want me to have him call you or something . elizabeth : you know , it 's -- it 's okay . it 's not an emergency . you do n't have to interrupt his trip for me . okay , thank you . sonny , this business that he 's doing -- is it dangerous ? sonny : jason can take care of himself . elizabeth : i know . sonny : and he values your friendship . elizabeth : and i value his . sonny : right . i 'm sure when he gets back , you know , he 's going to help you out any way he can , and -- you just need to realize that jason loves sam . elizabeth : thank you for your time . sonny : yeah , yeah . no problem , yeah .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : so what about patrick ? matt : [ laughs ] research . elizabeth : yeah . um , part of me would love to tell my brother , but the other part knows that he 's way too competitive . so i would say something , and he would be happy about it and make all the right noises , and then he 'd just run off and try and publish his own research first . elizabeth : any chance you 're selling your brother a little short ? matt : maybe , but i 'm not gon na risk it . elizabeth : what about your dad ? matt : he 's never been part of my life . never wanted to be . but here 's a coincidence . when i was doing my research , i actually found out that he was involved in a similar study in the seventies . elizabeth : oh , like father like son . matt : well , a little too much so . if i wanted to tell him about it now , it would just be like me throwing it in his face . elizabeth : so i ended up here in the default position . matt : and i 'm glad you did . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : thank you for letting me vent yesterday about subconsciously feeling like i wanted to get rid of siobhan . matt : it 's all right . we all have our dark thoughts . it 's human nature . elizabeth : but you ca n't tell anyone , ok ? matt : that goes both ways , ok ? hey , have you seen lucky tonight ? elizabeth : i saw him in the hallway . he was fiddling with siobhan 's ring . i did n't want to intrude . matt : you know siobhan 's sister came to claim the body , right ? elizabeth : no . matt : and she was ripping into him . elizabeth : oh , really ? matt : yeah . elizabeth : i 'm sure he felt terrible . i mean , he 's been hard on himself as it is . matt : i know . are you worried at all that he could be slipping back into the pills ? elizabeth : i 'm not worried . that 's a battle he 's going to have to fight daily . but he 's stronger than a lot of people give him credit for . matt : well -- that 's good of you . elizabeth : what do you mean ? matt : you just have this faith in him that is unbelievable . we all need an elizabeth in our lives . [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : oh , i got ta go . matt : yeah . elizabeth : sorry i ca n't finish your beautiful picnic . matt : oh , it 's ok . i 'll finish this .

[ laughs ] jason : that could only happen in a fantasy . carly : oh , i know . i got ta tell you , most of the fantasy was awful . it was . but the one good part is that after michael was shot , i let him live with the quartermaines , so he was out of sonny 's world , never killed claudia , never had to go to prison . jason : we , uh , we ca n't go back . carly : no . no , we ca n't . i mean , i 'm always gon na hate pentonville . but i 'm grateful for michael 's strength and for the way you helped him . jason : i just gave him a job . carly : michael has a job . jason : no , he quit that job . i just gave him another job . carly : no . no , jason ! why are you doing this ? jason : what are you -- carly : michael wants to follow in sonny 's footsteps . how the hell could you do this ? jason : carly , he 's gon na be running the warehouse . a completely legitimate job with responsibility . so he can be helping sonny while he figures out what else to do . carly : thank you . oh , thank you so much . jason : well , you know , michael deserves a little credit for taking the job . carly : no , only you could do this . only you could find a way to keep michael safe .

[ scene_break ] alexis : now , you listen to your mother . you 're under a lot of pressure with everything that 's going on . are you sure you do n't want to move the date just a little ? sam : no way . we are all set for september 23rd . alexis : and jason 's gon na be fine ? sam : jason ? yes , he 's determined . he 's actually been so sweet and romantic . alexis : and here 's a big question . sam : what ? alexis : are you comfortable with those two planning your wedding ? sam : mom , as long as there 's no pink , jason 's gon na love it . alexis : i bet there 's gon na be pink everywhere . sam : no , there wo n't .

carly and all her bridesmaids as well as all of sonny 's groomsmen and guests to the wedding are waiting for the groom . nobody suspects there is any cause for worry that he 's late . little do they know he 's been fatally shot . tj wants to help him but can not when he 's tied to a chair at the warehouse and outnumbered . sam and jake are there , however . and , surprisingly , we see jake passionately working to save sonny 's life , as if he might remember that he 's really jason , instead of jake who is not exactly friends with sonny .

[ scene_break ] franco : how can you not have enough blood on hand ? this is a hospital , right ? griffin : it 's my understanding that there were some hiccups in the electrical system following the blackout , including the power supply of the coolers in the blood bank . what viable blood we have left is spread really thin , but i 'm working with mercy and other sources -- franco : okay , how about this ? how about you set up a blood drive ? people love elizabeth . they 'd be more than happy to donate . griffin : of course . a blood drive is a great idea , but elizabeth has a very rare blood type . it 's gon na be hard to find a match .

[ scene_break ] hayden : i never touched elizabeth . i went for help . valerie : you had a very public confrontation with elizabeth prior to her fall , and elizabeth gave a statement that you pushed her . hayden : she just fell down a flight of stairs . she was unconscious . how can she remember anything ? valerie : she certainly remembers you . hayden : that woman has hated me since the day i set foot in this town . for all i know , she threw herself down those steps to set me up . valerie : a mother of three is going to risk her life just to get back at you . no . that does n't make sense and you know it . you had means , motive , and opportunity . so , your best option right now is to admit what you did and take a deal . curtis : ooh , hey . you got a sec ? valerie : yeah , i thought i was seeing you later on tonight . curtis : uh , yeah . about that . valerie : i ca n't do anything right now , but if you can wait a bit . curtis : uh , about that . i would love some one - on - one time with you , but it 's gon na have to wait . i 'm here on a job . valerie : you 're working for hayden .

[ scene_break ] franco : family . [ clears throat ] okay , no problem . elizabeth 's got plenty . griffin : i 'm signing out . my shift is over . i told the nurse on duty to keep you posted on the search for a blood donor for elizabeth . franco : oh , okay , well , what about her children ? griffin : they 're just too young . franco : she 's got her grandmother , audrey . griffin : we 've already tried . she is n't compatible . the rest of the family is too far away to be viable donors . franco : maybe . maybe not . what if there were another blood relative that was close by ? griffin : get them in here to donate . the sooner , the better . [ scene_break ] lulu : hey . dante : hey , baby . lulu : hi . thanks . dante : have a seat . lulu : does this have something to do with the explosion at crichton - clark ? robert : see for yourself . [ sighs ] lulu : okay . uh ... okay , what am i looking at ? robert : something that technically neither of you has the clearance to look at . lulu : why are you bending the rules for us ? robert : well , it might have something to do with the fact that you 're related to my dearest and oldest friend . dante : so , this file ... has an inventory of everything that was salvaged from the clinic . robert : is there something in here that 's connected to the embryo ? dante : it 's possible . check this out . [ scene_break ] maxie : [ sighs ] nathan and i need a cake that makes a statement . not that kind of statement . that 's too frilly . too many frosted roses ! griffin : you , uh , want to bounce some ideas off of me ? i 've officiated plenty of weddings , therefore tasted plenty of cake . maxie : i 'm sure you have . how many of those marriages are invalid because of your less - than - priestly ways ? griffin : i had that one coming . maxie : yeah , you did . griffin : listen , my personal failings do n't nullify the rites i 've presided over . maxie : okay . [ scoffs ] you 're not responsible for any of the relationships that did n't work out , just claudette and nathan 's . griffin : [ chuckles ] i deserved that one , too . but may -- may i join you ? it 's been a long day . maxie : long in general , or did something specific happen ? griffin : elizabeth webber is having critical surgery , and i do n't know if we have enough of her blood type . maxie : elizabeth ? what happened ? griffin : there was a blackout at the hospital last night . someone pushed elizabeth down a flight of stairs . maxie : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i hope she 's gon na be okay . [ scene_break ] [ as he impatiently waits for the elevator , franco remembers ... ] franco : your daughter 's here . she 's been detained . naomi : yes . franco : because she tried to murder her sister . naomi : but she did just fall down a flight of stairs . she 's now in a hospital bed . do you really think she 's in any kind of shape to learn that her parents ' idyllic marriage was just an illusion ? franco : i think elizabeth deserves the truth . naomi : and that 's a very noble sentiment . but sometimes a clear conscience only helps the person who 's been keeping the secret . jake : franco ! franco : hey ! what 's going on ? man . i swear , are you taller since the last time i saw you ? jake : yeah , i think so . franco : yeah , it 's good to see you . jake : good to see you , too . you know what 's going on with mom ? franco : i do , and the surgeons are taking really good care of her . jake : dad and i are going to the chapel to say a prayer for mom . do you want to come with us ? franco : uh , no . no , i -- i already had a word with -- maybe i could have a word with your dad , though , if you do n't mind . i 'll tell you what . you can , uh -- if it 's okay with your dad , you can go to my studio . you know where everything is . you can make a really awesome get - well card for your mom . jake : dad ? please ? jason : yeah , just the studio , though . nowhere else . jake : promise ! jason : [ clears throat ] franco : surgery 's taking a lot longer than they thought it would , and there might not be enough blood . just thought i 'd tell you . jason : yeah . franco : so , you can prepare yourself to tell jake if it comes to it . [ scene_break ] naomi : i - i must admit that it comes as a bit of a surprise to me . finn : that i believe in hayden 's innocence ? naomi : no . no , that you consider her a friend . finn : that might be a little harsh coming from her mother . naomi : yes , i suppose so . i - i raised hayden with all of the privileges and blessings any child could want , but she 's always been in possession of some fairly sharp edges . and these last few years seem to have brought those edges a little closer to the surface . finn : everyone has their ways . naomi : hayden has a little more than her share , which is why i asked her to come back home with me . because i believed she had nothing and no one left here in port charles . now , though .... i see she 's not quite as alone as i thought . thank you . [ scene_break ] hayden : and i was waiting for an elevator when the power went out in the hospital . at that point , i headed to the stairs . i found elizabeth unconscious at the bottom of the first flight . that 's when franco showed up , and he stayed with her while i went for help . that 's it . so ... what do you think ? curtis : so , there was an altercation before the incident in the stairwell . you were the first to find elizabeth . so ? hayden : so i 'm screwed , right ? curtis : nah , nah , hold up now . it 's still early in the investigation . hell , i have n't even started digging yet . hayden : okay . curtis : that said , i need to get up with my partner and compare notes . hayden : partner ? i thought you were a one - man show . curtis : well , the guy who brought me in on this insisted that we work together . hayden : who ? curtis : dr. finn . hayden : hamilton finn . curtis : seems like a good dude . sure seems to care about you . hayden : he said he had a plan . i thought he might just be trying to make me feel better . curtis : no . you got friends , okay ? you just need to trust us . everything 's gon na be okay , cupcake . [ scene_break ] [ elevator bell dings ] naomi : excuse me . franco : you and i need to have a little chat about your daughter hayden ... and her sister elizabeth . naomi : if you do n't let go of me , i 'm gon na scream bloody murder . franco : go right ahead . let 's be clear . your daughter has already been charged with attempted murder , and if elizabeth dies , the charge will be murder . there 's only one way to avoid it . naomi : [ scoffs ] by all means . enlighten me . franco : hayden has to have the same blood type as her sister . [ scene_break ] valerie : we had to shift some detainees . we 'll have a cell cleared for you soon . hayden : that might not be necessary . i might be released soon . valerie : you have one chat with curtis , and you think you 're gon na walk ? hayden : he reminded me that i 'm not alone and i have friends that care about me . he 's come through for me before , so i have no doubt he will again . valerie : you know , you 'd think he 'd know enough to stay out of this . hayden : hmm . instead of criticizing curtis , you might want to take a step back and look at what a good guy you have . he 's kind , he 's loyal , he 's tenacious to a fault , and guess what ? he likes you . he talks about you all the time -- how proud he is of all that you 've done and how smart you are and how logical you are . so if he 's right about all that , maybe ... just maybe , he 's right about me , too . [ scene_break ] finn : hey , hey . curtis : hey . finn : how 's hayden ? curtis : she 's scared , man . so , as soon as we can find something to exonerate her , the better . finn : okay , well , hopefully this will help . all right , this should get you in the hospital without anybody asking questions . except for , of course , all the people that know you 're not a doctor , in which case , they 'll know you do n't belong here , so ... curtis : so i 'll maintain a low profile . finn : low profile . curtis : now , can you tell me the -- point me in the direction of the stairwell where the -- finn : it 's right over there , but i 'll warn you . they 've been all over it , so i find it hard to believe they missed anything . curtis : hmm , well . finn : oh , hi . julie , um ... julie : yeah ? finn : by chance , do you have an update on elizabeth webber ? julie : oh , she 's still in surgery , but actually , the police just dropped off her personal effects , and i was just gon na take them to the icu for her . curtis : hey , you know what ? i can take that for you . i 'm sure you got plenty of other things to do . julie : uh , i 'm sorry . do i know you ? [ scene_break ] maxie : okay , well , if you will excuse me , i need to get out of here now that i have a wedding to plan again , since nathan and i are back on track . griffin : i hope you two are very happy together . maxie : just do me a favor and do n't say any prayers for us , okay ? thanks . bye . griffin : d - do n't go . please ? uh ... i owe you a conversation . maxie : um , what exactly would i get out of that ? griffin : i 'm not sure i understand . maxie : you were dishonest with me for months . you encouraged me to trust you , even though i had no idea who you really were , or your history with nathan . so , i 'm gon na ask you again . what exactly would i get out of this conversation ? griffin : an apology . a chance for us to put all of this behind us . i should have trusted you and nathan with the truth . my silence hurt you , hurt nathan . even worse , it gave claudette an opening to inflict more damage . i can only hope that one day , you know , i can make it up to the both of you . maxie : actually ... i have an idea how you might be able to do that . [ scene_break ] lulu : a fireproof freezer ? robert : standard equipment in any research facility . lulu : this report says that it 's intact , so what was inside ? robert : nothing . it was empty . however , somebody had left a key in the lock . lulu : a - a key ? wait , are you saying that that could mean ... dante : it could mean that the freezer was opened prior to the explosion . lulu : so , there is a chance that this embryo has survived ? robert : look , let 's not jump to any conclusions . lulu : did the wsb recover a container from the rubble ? dante : it was n't on the inventory . that 's the first thing i checked . robert : well , it may have been damaged beyond recognition and the wsb simply missed it during their postmortem of the clinic . lulu : what are the chances of that ? what , the wsb is sifting through the rubble . they come across an object they ca n't identify because it 's so damaged , and they , what ? throw it away ? knowing the kind of experiments that victor cassadine was funding ? knowing that anything on that island might be dangerous ? no way . i do n't buy it . robert : so , what 's the alternative ? lulu : helena . robert : what about her ? dante : she was there . she was able to get out of the clinic before it exploded . lulu : stavros was already dead at that point . the embryo was all she had left of him . i think that helena took the embryo with her .

[ scene_break ] franco : you want to help hayden . i want to help elizabeth . this way , we both get what we want . naomi : yes , but what you 're asking is going to have long - term consequences for people you claim you care about . franco : maybe there 's a way for this to work without your secret coming out . help me to convince hayden to donate blood . tell her it 's her civic duty . tell her it 's a way to make up for some much - needed good karma points . naomi : [ sighs ] are n't you getting a little head of yourself ? how do we even know that elizabeth and hayden have the same blood type ? franco : you better hope that they do . because it 's hayden 's last chance , and no matter what , i 'm going to make her cooperate . [ scene_break ] finn : dr. ashford is actually on staff at mercy . they sent him over to help . you know how short - handed we are . but , you know , i 'm actually headed that way . if , uh -- if you 'd like , i could take elizabeth 's things . i 'll -- i 'll make sure she gets them . julie : oh , okay . well , thanks . finn : sure . julie : and , uh , dr. ashford , it was nice meeting you . i 'm sure i 'll see you around . curtis : uh , yes . yes , you will . finn : doctor . curtis : yo , very smooth , man . you know , you might have a future as a private investigator . finn : no , no , not smooth . not smooth at all . look , uh , you think there 's anything in there that will exonerate hayden ? curtis : well , elizabeth feels she was pushed . she thinks it was hayden . we know it was n't . now , who the hell wanted elizabeth dead ? maybe there 's something in here that 'll tell us . [ scene_break ] maxie : i 've given some , uh , serious thought to how you could make up for all this -- assuming you were serious about forgiveness . griffin : yeah , no , i - i am . what -- what would you like me to do ? maxie : when claudette came back into town , i was sure she was here to make a play for nathan . now that that 's over , because she was shot down in flames , i ca n't help but feel like she 's got some other agenda with him . and i want to know what it is . griffin : i 've a - already questioned claudette . she was n't very forthcoming . maxie : you just need to try harder . griffin : i do n't know how i can discover her agenda if she 's not willing to tell me . maxie : i do . you could seduce it out of her . griffin : excuse me ? maxie : oh , come on . it 's not like you have n't already slept with the woman . and judging by that kiss i saw between the two of you the other day , there 's still a mutual attraction . use that to get information out of her . i want to know what claudette is up to . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu , stop , stop . stop for a second , okay ? i think we 're getting a little ahead of ourselves here , okay ? lulu : no , it makes sense , and you know it , dante . there is no way that helena would allow a potential cassadine heir to be destroyed . she took that embryo with her when she evacuated crichton - clark . dante : even if you are right , helena is dead . there is no way of finding out what happened to this embryo . lulu : [ sighs ] she probably took it home . i - i can not believe that we were just on cassadine island , and we did n't even bother to search . robert : whoa , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . let 's hold on a second . all this file says is that there was a fireproof freezer left unlocked prior to the explosion , and everything else -- that 's speculation . lulu : you knew helena . was she the kind to accept defeat ? if there was even the slightest chance that her beloved stavros could produce another child , do n't you think she would make that happen ? robert : she 'd try , but there 's no guaranteeing she could succeed . and b - besides , as dante 's pointed out , she 's dead . lulu : there 's a huge lab complex underground on cassadine island . the embryo could be stored there . we have to go back . [ scene_break ] griffin : to use claudette 's feelings against her to give her some false hope of romance so she 'll confide in me ? i - i ca n't , maxie . it 's -- it 's dishonest , a violation of my vows . maxie : oh . oh , come on . it 's not like you have n't violated those vows before , and this is for a worthy cause . griffin : you know , claudette and i wo n't be the only ones to get hurt if i do this . you 'll feel guilty , too . maxie : why would i feel guilty about protecting the man i love from a snake ? griffin : there 's got to be some other way . maxie : griffin , if you 're not gon na do it , i 'll do it myself , okay ? but do n't stand here pretending that you are protecting me from feeling guilty or nathan from having to relive his past . the only person you 've ever cared about protecting is yourself . you 're not the pious and penitent man you like to say you are , griffin . you 're just a man .

griffin tells franco that there is a serious complication with elizabeth 's condition . she needs an urgent blood transfusion . she has a very rare blood type and it may or may not be attainable to save her life in time . he informs him that only a family member is likely to have compatible blood needed . hearing that and remembering what he just learned from his mother , and which naomi confirmed , that naomi and hayden are elizabeth 's mom and sister , franco has an idea . as soon as he sees naomi at the hospital , talking to finn , very worried that hayden is going down for attempted murder , and expressing how she 's so grateful that `` somebody `` is on her daughter 's side , franco takes her aside and tells her there 's a way for hayden to make this right for elizabeth , which is by having the same blood type . naomi informs him there are complications involved in that , especially when she is not even certain that her two daughters have the same blood type . at that point , franco goes to find hayden in the police interrogation room and informs her that elizabeth could die from what she did , and hayden could make this right by saving her life . meanwhile , both curtis and finn believe it hayden 's innocence , both determined not to let her go down for a crime she did not commit and seem to somehow `` know `` there was someone else at the hospital who pushed elizabeth . they work together to find that and are not about to give up . robert scorpio goes to visit and talk to lulu and dante with the information he has regarding the `` mystery `` of what could have happened when the creighton clark clinic blew up , a few years back , and it appeared that with it , the last of lulu 's embryos ( and hope for having another baby ) were destroyed . he comes up with evidence that it 's entirely possible the embryos were not destroyed . at that point , lulu concludes she bets helena is behind this and there 's a way to find this out and find the embryos she needs in order to have another baby .

[ scene_break ] tj : aunt stella , are you fishing for info on uncle curtis ? stella : young man , have you ever known me to beat around the bush ? tj : no , ma'am . stella : [ chuckles ] exactly . life 's too short to waste time being passive- aggressive . if there 's something i want to know , i simply ask . like say , does my great - nephew need help paying for school ? tj : [ scoffs ] no , uh , do n't worry , aunt stella . i 'm , uh , i 'm good . stella : oh . the hourly wage here must be considerable . tj : okay , you 're right . the job here does n't pay my way , but it 's a start . and the more i can contribute , the less i 'll owe other people . stella : and there 's some shame in that ? taking help from people who love you ? tj : no , of course not , but i 'm an adult now . i want to do this on my own . stella : your uncle curtis told me as much when he was your age . neither one of you needed much looking after . tj : hey , but it does n't mean we do n't appreciate it every now and again . stella : i 'm glad to hear you say that . and i have loved visiting . but it 's time i went home and left you and curtis in peace . [ scene_break ] curtis : you know , um , as much as i hated breaking up with you ... getting back together has made it all worth it . jordan : i 'm sorry , did -- is that what happened just now ? are we back together ? curtis : i mean , i hope so . [ chuckles ] i stated my position clearly . jordan : yes , um , what was it again ? oh , yes , you are `` dangerously this close `` to falling in love with me . curtis : that 's right . but now , um , if you got something you want to say ... ? jordan : actually , the person who i have to say something to next is ... your aunt . curtis : [ sighs heavily ] jordan : we have to tell stella that we 're back together . [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie , i swear , i have told you everything that there is to know about me and about amy and `` ask man landers `` and ... maxie : everything ? nathan : yeah , everything . i swear . maxie : i know . i 'm just pulling your chain . [ chuckles ] nathan : not very nice to tease your husband , you know , especially since you spent the last ... oh , god knows how many months , on opposite sides of the country . maxie : i can not help myself ! do you know what a rare opportunity this is ? usually i 'm the one keeping secrets and begging forgiveness . this is a whole new experience . ca n't you just let me enjoy it ? nathan : fine . who knows how long it 's gon na last anyway ? maxie : hey . amy : uh . do n't mind me . [ laughs ] i just stopped by for a cup of coffee . maxie : and more cover behind my husband ? [ scoffs ] nathan : maxie ... [ clears throat ] amy : no . no , i totally understand . nathan did what he did because he 's a wonderful person . maxie : and you did what you did for your brother . amy : if there had been any other way -- maxie : trust me -- i get it . i would have done anything for my sister . it seems we have that in common . i 'm hoping that 's all we have in common . amy : oh , nathan and i are just strict -- maxie : what am i still doing here ? i really need to go . wish me luck . nathan : good luck . sorry about that . amy : [ sighs ] nathan : it might be a little while before we 're both completely forgiven . amy : it 's okay . i do n't blame maxie . especially because ... it 's not over between us . [ scene_break ] valentin : now that nina and i have officially reconciled , all that 's left is to move her back home . nina : but first things first -- we 'd like to get charlotte 's custody squared away . valentin : which is a mere formality . lulu : i think it 's anything but that . dante and i currently have custody -- valentin : you have temporary custody . lulu : because you were extradited to the netherlands to stand trial for treason and espionage . valentin : uh , those charges were dropped , as you well know . and , um , once again , you have absolutely no proof of any criminal wrongdoing on my part . so , nina and i are just as fit to parent charlotte as you and dante are . lulu : do you hear him ? are you paying attention ? the only reason valentin wants to get back together with you is to score points with the judge in family court . nina : valentin and i are back together because we love each other . lulu : then i wish you luck . you 're gon na need it . i just hope you do n't count on that life including charlotte , because there is no way the judge is going to grant you and valentin full custody of charlotte . valentin : well , i 'm seeking joint custody ... ... because charlotte 's life can only benefit from having both parents in it . i 'm willing to set my feelings aside to act in my daughter 's best interests . are you ? lulu : what , what ? what ? of course , i want what 's best for charlotte . the problem is that you and i have very different ideas about what that means . valentin : well , we have plenty of time to reach an agreement . in the meantime , i just hope we can all be civil when we take charlotte to her first day of school tomorrow ? nina : yeah , i 'm sure she 'd be thrilled that the four of us were there together . lulu : all four of us ? valentin : lulu , is that not amenable to you ? lulu : it 's fine . actually , i 'm sorry that more of charlotte 's family ca n't be on hand , but i 'm afraid my mom is still in europe . she 's looking after spencer . you remember him , do n't you ? nina : it 's hard to forget someone who falsely accused you of kidnapping them . lulu : valentin murdered spencer 's father and never paid for it . but somehow , i 'm the bad guy ! so , hey , i will see you two bright and early tomorrow for charlotte 's first day . [ scene_break ] stella : i do n't want to overstay my welcome . i 've been kind of cramping your uncle 's style . tj : no way uncle curtis said that to you . stella : he did n't . but he did n't have to . i can read that boy like a book . he 's been waiting for me to go since the day i showed up . tj : aunt stella . stella : he 's just too respectful to ever say so . tj : curtis loves you , and he does n't want you to leave any more than i do . i mean , we 'll both miss you when you 're gone . stella : easy now . i 'm just getting on a train , not departing this mortal coil ! i just wanted to assure myself that you 've got a good head on your shoulders and curtis 's was screwed on straight . and i got a resounding `` yes `` on both counts . so , as far as i 'm concerned , my work here is done . [ scene_break ] curtis : listen , i love my auntie , and i know for a fact that she loves me . and even when we disagree , i know deep down inside , she wants me to be happy . and you make me happy . i 'll do whatever it takes to convince her to accept us . jordan : whatever it takes ? curtis : i mean , damned if i even know what that really means , but i 'll figure it out . but i ai n't figuring nothing out on an empty stomach . what do you say we get breakfast ? jordan : um , i think that -- i think breakfast can wait . curtis : oh , yeah . jordan : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] griffin : ava , hey , uh , it 's griffin . i feel terrible about what happened yesterday . please -- please do n't let it get in the way of your recovery . and i want to fix things between us , but if it 's -- if it 's not possible , i just -- i want you to know that i 'm still your friend .

[ scene_break ] scott : so , uh , while you were in new york ... i got some bad news . franco : what 's the bad news ? scott : well , my father died . and i know that things have been really crazy for you . and it 's not like you had a relationship with your grandfather . and , you know , you 've never even met him , so ... i figured , why would i bother you ? franco : why would you -- why would you bother me ? because i 'm your son . that 's why . [ hug ] [ scene_break ] ava : do we really have to sit here ? right in the middle of the restaurant ? oh , that 's your point , is n't it ? valentin : i 'm not entirely sure what you mean . ava : i mean , you want me out in the open . you want me to be the subject of whispers and stares . just a little incentive to take your deal ? valentin : no , i was already sitting at this table with my wife . it seemed simpler to come back here than to ask to be reseated at a different table . and as for our deal -- i just need a yes or a no . [ scene_break ] nina : yeah , i 'll talk to you later . thank you . come in ! [ door opens ] nina : oh , my goodness . okay , i have to prepare for this meeting , so , dillon , if you could just e -- maxie , what a surprise . maxie : hi , nina . um , you look great . did you do something different with your hair ? nina : no . nope . it 's the same . i 'm back with valentin . that 's probably what you 're sensing . maxie : you and valentin . that 's -- that 's good . nina : mm - hmm . i thought so , too . yeah . so , uh , why are you in town ? just here for a visit ? maxie : actually ... um , i 'm back for good . nina : oh . well , j must be very excited to have you in the same time zone . maxie : [ sighs ] nina : listen , uh , if you 'll excuse me , i have a meeting to prepare for . maxie : i know you do . it 's with me . nina : max jones . of course . social media influencer ? maxie : spinelli helped me create the online profile . nina : so , that 's what you 've been doing with your free time ? figuring out how to catfish your former employer ? maxie : i 'm sorry , i did n't think you 'd take the meeting with me otherwise . nina : and why do you want to meet with me ? maxie : i want to come back to work for crimson .

[ sighs ] nathan : okay , so -- so , we get somebody else to be the face of the brand . amy : quinn 's already met you and fallen in love with you ! and it 's your mysterious blue eye peering out from the book cover ! it 's your face that 's gon na launch a best - seller ! if anyone else shows up to that party claiming to be `` ask man landers , `` it 's gon na raise a lot of questions ... all of which result in me having to pay back my entire advance , and wo n't have any money to pay for my brother 's recovery ! nathan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] tj : i 'm gon na miss you , aunt stella . and i hope you know , you 're always welcome to visit . stella : child , you 'll be seeing plenty of me . i 'll vis -- i 'll visit here -- or you can come see me in baltimore . i 'll take you out for some real crab cakes . tj : that 'd be nice . stella : aw , i know how busy you are , baby , so i wo n't hold my breath . tj : aunt stella ... stella : baby , you do n't need to explain . med school is a serious undertaking . as long as you keep your eye on the prize , you 'll get no complaining from me . i 'll be back soon enough ... even sooner if your uncle curtis ca n't keep his act together . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] scott : [ sighs ] okay . thanks . franco : mm . you -- it 's just a display of affection . it 's kind of what fathers and sons do , right ? scott : well , yeah , but you 're not really known for your affection . franco : your father just died ! i was just -- i was trying to be supportive ! scott : i appreciate it . franco : so ... how are you doing ? scott : not good . i miss lee every day . he was kind , he was fair ... unshakable integrity ... none of which i have ever lived up to . but ... i know he loved me . franco : well , i 'm -- i 'm sorry i never met the guy . i guess ... i do n't know a whole lot about my own relations .

[ scene_break ] scott : get a grip , okay ? you know , somebody took a picture of you as a kid . you have no recollection of this picture , and now you 're trying to put it into some half - baked theory that you have ! franco : no , i - i 've seen pictures of jason morgan when he was this age , and this is a photograph of jason morgan ! scott : no , it just looks like a little blond kid , like millions of other little blond kids ! that 's it . okay , let 's just say , it was jason -- a coincidence , right ? so , let 's say alan and monica took jason to the city , the nanny took the kid to the park -- and there you were , in the same outfit as the kid , and your mother , she decided to take a picture of you two . franco : right . you 're grasping at straws . scott : well , it 's better than having some deep , dark secret with jason ! i mean , your obsession with him is -- is long gone , for crying out loud . why would you want to revisit that ? franco : why ? because this photograph calls my entire life into question . and i need to know what it means . [ scene_break ] tj : look , i 'm really happy you guys are back together , man . i 'm happy for you . curtis : thanks , t. that means a lot to us . jordan : thank you , sweetheart . thank you . stella : so that 's where you were last night . with her . curtis : yeah , that 's right . stella : [ scoffs ] here i was , worried you were out on dangerous pi business . curtis : i 'm sorry to worry you . stella : hmm . i do n't know if i 'd felt any better had you told me the truth .

[ scene_break ] nina : okay . maxie , you know i always valued your work . but a relationship is built on trust -- a trust that you betrayed when you went behind my back to undermine valentin 's relationship with his daughter . maxie : you know what ? you 're right . your family situation -- none of my business . and i had no right to insert myself into it . nina : thank you . maxie : but is that really , like , the worst betrayal you 've ever suffered ? nina : no . of course not . maxie : but -- nina , if you could forgive those people who betrayed your trust , why ca n't you forgive me ? [ scene_break ] valentin : i have two contracts , the first of which is an agreement to arrange facial reconstruction . ava : i have this for you . valentin : what am i looking at ? ava : well , it 's a photograph of a 16th - century tapestry . i thought it would go very well at wyndemere and add millions to your assets . valentin : well , that 's very generous of you to sweeten the deal . the second is a complete retraction of your statement that you saw me shoot nikolas cassadine . once you sign this , we will have ourselves a deal . ava : oh , you mistake me . the tapestry is the deal . valentin : that 's not what we talked about . ava : that 's what i 'm offering . valentin : then you have wasted my time -- and your own .

[ gasps ] wait ! yes i do ! i 'm gon na dedicate my next book to you ! nathan : no . i mean , that 's really not necessary . amy : i know just how i 'll word it -- `` to nathan , the man behind the woman behind the man . `` nathan : look , the only thing that you need to promise me is that the truth about `` ask man landers ' `` identity never gets out . amy : you do n't need to worry . i know how important your reputation is to you . nathan : i - i 'm not talking about my reputation , okay ? i 'm thinking about chet . all right , you said it yourself , if the wrong people find out that i am not god 's gift to befuddled bros everywhere , then chet 's rehab is in jeopardy . amy : i can name on one hand all the people who are in on it . there 's me -- i 'm not gon na tell . you -- you 're not gon na tell . nina -- she 's not gon na tell . and maxie -- she 's not gon na tell . we 're totally in the clear ! [ giggles ] [ scene_break ] nina : i may consider ... giving you a second chance , but i need more than a promise of loyalty . maxie : okay . like what ? nina : i do n't know . use your imagination . you know , something valuable , something that crimson needs . something that no one else has . if you do that , then i could ... give you your job back . but -- i look forward to hearing from you . listen , um , if you 'll excuse me , i have a meeting to prepare for , so ...

sam : this is odd . jerry jacks , alone in the clinic after hours . you want to tell me what this is all about ? jerry : what a coincidence . i was going to ask the same thing about you . sam : you first . why are you here ? jerry : well , oddly enough , your mother . [ scene_break ] jason : you looking for something ? maxie : you know , you really should n't sneak up on your house guests . it 's rude . jason : why were you looking through the closet ? maxie : i , uh -- it 's chilly upstairs . you might not have noticed because you 're practically cold - blooded . but i wanted spinelli to be comfortable , so i came down to get him another blanket . jason : why do n't you try being honest for once ? maxie : i mentioned earlier about karpov 's people being behind spinelli 's hit- and - run and you got upset and left to do mysterious mob business . i heard on the news two russian guys got beat up and -- jason : and what ? maxie : i wanted to see if your gun had been fired . jason : what if it had ? [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm standing here and i 'm trying to explain to you what happened , but these explanations just sound like excuses . and there 's no excuse for what -- there 's no excuse for me having sex with sonny . and i have nothing to say in my defense . i 'm just so sorry . i 'm so sorry , jax . and i love you so much . i love you with all my heart , and i just pray that you still love me . you 're the only man that i want . you 're the only man that i ever want . just , please , let this be where we start over . jax : i waited such a long time for this , to know that you love only me , to know that you 're truly committed to this marriage . carly : do you believe me ? jax : yeah , i do .

[ scene_break ] johnny : i asked to speak to nikolas . lucky : yeah , well whatever you want , you ca n't play on my brother 's sympathy to get it . johnny : where is he ? lucky : he 's in lockup . johnny : what happened ? lucky : this trial is what happened . scott baldwin , he 's out for blood . he does n't give a damn about lulu , and he 's going to make you pay for murdering his son . nikolas , he lost his mind and he punched baldwin , so he got arrested . so whatever you planned on telling him , you 're going to have to tell me instead . johnny : no , thanks . lucky : yeah , because i 'm a cop , or because i 'm a brother who realizes how bad you are for my sister ? johnny : you have no idea what i 've done for your sister . lucky : oh , sure i do . you 're the reason she lost her mind .

[ scene_break ] maxie : obviously , i did n't have enough time to find your gun . and even if it had been fired , i would n't do anything . jason : then why go looking for it ? maxie : because i 'm curious like that . i have a problem . i think people are really interesting and full of surprises . like you -- i mean , who knew that you had a designer suit ? that 's really nice fabric -- jason : do n't touch my stuff . maxie : okay . i 'm kind of nosy . i 'm sure you have a whole arsenal full of weapons , and i do n't even want to think about what you do with those . that 's another problem . i have an extremely active imagination . feel free to say anything , anything you want . jason : you 're the police commissioner 's daughter . can you see how it compromises me to have you in my house ? maxie : but i would never give my dad any information about you . or to another cop , or anything like that . jason : not intentionally . maxie : look , spinelli worships you , okay ? if something happened to you because of me , he would be wrecked . he 'd end up blaming himself . and no matter what i would say , that would n't change it . so bottom line , my lips are sealed , okay ? jason : it would wreck spinelli if something happened to you . maxie : do you think you could clarify that for me ?

[ jax sighs ] carly : i should have let you console me and i should have never been alone with sonny at a time with such grief . and when we turned to each other , i should have just said no and i should have considered the fallout . jax : yeah , but you did n't . carly : no , i did n't . i should -- i should have said no out of respect for you and for us and our wedding vows and i did n't and i -- jax : do n't torture yourself . do n't torture yourself with the `` should haves `` and `` what ifs . `` i know that you regret it . i -- i do . carly : then , please , jax , let me make this up to you . please . jax : no , carly , it 's over . i hope with time i find a way to stop loving you .

[ scene_break ] jason : you think you 're helping spinelli ? you 're doing the opposite . maxie : this is so unfair . jason : he tells you things he should n't tell you . you go on stakeouts with him . you barge in here with your crazy cover - up stories when he 's getting in trouble . maxie : do n't even think about criticizing me for that . if i had n't barged in and told karpov 's lawyers that me and spinelli were having kinky waterfront sex , they would have pulled his arms out of his sockets . jason : that was a risk spinelli chose to take he should n't have . maxie : trying to impress you . jason : or you . maxie : please . spinelli thinks that you are the coolest guy on the face of the planet . he 's constantly trying to impress you by acting way tougher than he actually is , throwing himself into danger -- jason : yeah , and you follow him . maxie : because i do n't want him to get hurt . jason : what do you think it would do to spinelli if you get hurt trying to help him ? you really need to stop . you 're only making things worse .

[ scene_break ] sam : okay , here i am , home safe and sound . jerry : a beautiful woman such as yourself should n't be wandering about in this part of town , even one as capable as you . sam : i suppose this is where i 'm supposed to tell my mother how gallant you 've been . jerry : oh , it would be much simpler for you and for me if only i were using alexis . sam : but you 're not , of course . i think it 's just a wild coincidence that she happens to be the d.a . jerry : well , considering my unsavory past , it does come in handy , does n't it ? sam : but it 's never crossed your mind ? jerry : oh , it has . many times . the only problem is , i genuinely care about alexis . i 've tried not to , but there you have it . maybe i should do something like -- uncharacteristically noble , like finding a way to make her hate me . what do you think ? sam : if there 's any way you need me to move that along , you just let me know . jerry : you know what ? you might be even more useful than you realize , darling .

[ scene_break ] laura : there have been more times than i can count where i 've felt trapped and helpless and even hopeless . and that 's the worst , because that one little word , `` hope , `` it 's like a life raft that you can hold on to when things get really tough . lulu : here i thought whenever you felt like that , you would pull some trick out of that big bag dad said you always carried around . laura : oh , yeah , there was that . but hope , honey , is sometimes a decision , you know ? it 's a state of mind and of heart . lulu : mine kind of does n't work together well , or at least when it should . laura : you know , i listen to you and sometimes i just shudder because you 're so hard on yourself . lulu : hard on myself ? laura : yes . lulu : look at what i 've done to logan , to johnny , to me . and they were n't my first casualties . laura : and they probably wo n't be your last . you know why ? you 're human . you make mistakes . we all make mistakes , honey , and that 's good . that 's how we learn . it 's true . oh , i wish there was some way i could give you perspective . lulu : and hope . laura : you know about the time that i was held captive by the cassadines on that island , right , by that horrible man who called himself nikolas ' father . it was one of the worst times in my life . all i wanted was to go home and to see luke . [ laura sighs ] laura : so i just sat in my room night after night , and i stared out the window into the darkness and then the thoughts would start and the panic would rise . and sometimes , i would even just go out and walk the halls in the middle of the night . but no matter where i started , i always ended at the same spot . lulu : where ? laura : the nursery . i would go in and i 'd stand over nikolas ' crib and i would look down at my beautiful little baby , so perfect , such a miracle . and then i 'd put my hand on his little chest and i could feel his breathing , slow and even . and then my breathing would start to slow . my heart would stop pounding out of my chest and a peace would just sort of wash over me . and i felt hope . and when i walked out of that room , i always left stronger than when i came in because i knew that nikolas was a blessing to me , but i did n't realize then how much . it 's not just that he 's grown into a fabulous man and that he 's a wonderful brother to you , but , honey , he saved your life . he was the only donor , the only match when you were sick . so you see , i had to go through all of that misery so that there would be a baby nikolas who could one day save my beautiful baby lulu . you see ? out of something horrible , something wonderful happened . and that 's how it is . when we least expect it . that 's how it works . that 's perspective . [ scene_break ] johnny : lucky talked to you ? nikolas : yes , but he made me promise that i 'd tell him everything we discuss . johnny : ca n't . he 'll try to stop you . nikolas : stop me from what ? johnny : getting lulu out of the country . you 've got to check her out of shadybrook and get her as far away from here as possible . because if she 's not gone , baldwin will put her on the stand . nikolas : i agree that she 's in no shape to testify . that 's just kind of a lot to ask for right now . johnny : she ca n't testify . nikolas : john , we 're all worried about her , okay ? but i just do n't think the answer to this is taking her away from the people she cares about . johnny : if you care about your sister , nikolas , if you love her , you will get her as far away from here as possible until the trial is over . nikolas , it 's not about saving me . it 's about saving her . nikolas : oh , my god . she killed logan , did n't she ? [ scene_break ] claudia : okay , you 're right . that 's gas . get me out . sonny : hold still for a second . claudia : get me out . sonny : the buckle 's stuck . i 'm trying to pull it out . claudia : what 's wrong with it ? come on . sonny : let me try something , okay ? you 've got to hold still . just hold still . claudia : oh , my god . okay , cut it . come on , just cut it . [ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli actually believes in me . the only other person who ever did that was georgie . georgie was a little more realistic , though . she saw me for the selfish , manipulative bitch that i am , but she loved me anyway because that 's what sisters do . i 'm sure you know that from emily . jason : yeah . maxie : i never really understood what georgie saw in spinelli until she died and i sort of inherited him . spinelli figured out way too late that georgie loved him . so he wanted to figure out who killed her , and i did , too . that 's why i went along with the whole `` jackal p.i. `` thing , even though all of spinelli 's babbling really drove me crazy . jason : he 's brilliant . maxie : spinelli is brilliant , i know that . do n't get ahead of me . along with being brilliant , he 's also kind and generous , even to me . he gives me credit for having good ideas . he gives me way more respect than i deserve . somewhere along the line , i went from being the bad blonde one to maximista , which , believe it or not , has helped me see myself in a better light . do n't get me wrong , i did n't instantly become a good and noble person , but spinelli has stood by me . and i just want to be as good to him as he is to me .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't know how i did n't see this before . she 's been riddled with guilt through this whole thing . she 's been saying it 's her fault all along because she 's the one who killed logan . johnny : it was self - defense . nikolas : and you saw that happen ? johnny : no , i got there too late . but logan went after her with an axe and she was terrified , so she grabbed the knife and defended herself . nikolas : why did n't you call 911 right there , john ? johnny : i should have . lulu was in shock . and a few months ago , she hit logan over his head with a wrench and put him in a coma . we were afraid that baldwin was going to go after her and charge her with murder . nikolas : so what you did was cover for lulu . you got rid of the evidence and dumped the body . johnny : and because of my interference , there 's no way to prove that logan attacked lulu . nikolas : do you realize now that running has only made this whole thing worse ? johnny : she came in here with a gun in her purse . she was going to confess , so i got her out of here the only way i saw possible . nikolas : yeah , yet another bad decision . johnny : the point is , this is a death penalty case . nikolas : if she gets on the stand , she 'll confess . johnny : which is why you have to get her out of the country now .

robin : okay . this looks like a good spot . maxie : i suppose . robin : what do you think , little girl ? maxie : what was that ? i agree . she said , `` mom , please do n't ever make me wear this outfit again . just because i 'm a baby does n't mean i need to look boring . `` robin : oh , really ? what else 'd she say ? maxie : huh ? yeah . i totally agree with that , too , but i have more experience with this than your mom does . she thinks that you need a new plan because a picnic is too obvious . robin : look , lisa is too busy trying to make me look crazy to notice . and if she does , then patrick and i will figure out something else . [ scene_break ] patrick : hey . steve : hey . patrick : any indication when robin 's going to be off her suspension ? steve : when the investigation is over . patrick : you realize that lisa 's setting robin up . you do know that ? steve : look , patrick . as chief of staff , i have to deal with what actually happened . robin hit one of my best surgeons yesterday , and she accused her without a shred of proof . and it 's not the first time robin 's gone after lisa on the floor . patrick : chief , she trashed robin 's locker . she jumped in front of her car . i do n't know how she pulled off the stunt with emma 's toy , but -- steve : lisa 's documented every claim she 's had against robin with me or the pcpd . you and robin did n't . patrick : well , she 's dangerous , i 'm telling you that . and she 's going to hurt emma or robin if she 's not stopped -- steve : i 'm keeping an eye on her . but if i come off unfair or biased , she could file charges against me for sexual harassment . the hospital would be sued . i have to play this one by the book . patrick : well , maybe you do . but i do n't . steve : i did n't hear that . lisa : hey . i noticed that you signed up for the graveyard shift in the er . patrick : well , i 've got time on my hands now . lisa : oh , which means that robin has n't relented , huh ? patrick : that one night with you probably cost me my marriage . lisa : 20 bucks says that in 6 months , you will realize that breaking up with robin was the best thing that ever happened to you . patrick : yeah ? lisa : mm - hmm . patrick : and then what ? [ scene_break ] lulu : oh , thank god kate is n't here yet . i am so late . dante : well , it was for a good cause . you got me through a rough night . lulu : is that why you were singing `` rigoletto `` in the shower ? dante : yeah . you recognized it . lulu : do n't take this the wrong way -- you did not miss your calling as an opera singer . dante : oh , you know , that 's why i love you so much . you do n't pull any punches . you just tell me exactly what you 're thinking . lulu : you sure that 's a good thing ? dante : you know , everything is so clear today . i mean , i can investigate all i want , but the truth is right in front of me . sonny ran . it does n't matter if he 's guilty or innocent -- he 's gone for good , and all of his kids , including me , are going to be better off without him . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] carly : i know whatever you have to tell me is bad news because you never call me over here when something good happens . jason : sonny called . he 's decided to surrender himself to face the charges against him . so he 's on his way back to port charles right now . carly : with or without brenda ? [ scene_break ] dante : hey . what do you think the chances are of getting you into something like this for a night on the town ? lulu : wow . that is a bit much for the metro court . dante : well , maybe , but it 's perfect for the opera in new york city . lulu : yeah , if you do n't mind paying a bajillion dollars a ticket again . dante : they 're steep , but it 'd be worth it again . lulu : i thought you had to focus on the investigation . dante : i 'm not going to waste my whole life , and i 'm done worrying about sonny corinthos , my father . lulu : then you 're sure he 's guilty ? dante : you know , i 'll never forget the look in his eyes when he shot me , knowing i was unarmed . and it 's taken a while to sink in , but i know he could have done the same thing to johnny . lulu : okay . so what about the investigation ? dante : i 'll follow through with it for my brothers and sister so they can have some closure . but i 'm not going to be one of those people , like there are in this town , that devote their entire life to dealing with sonny corinthos . there 's other things i 'd like to focus on , like you . lulu : really ? dante : mm - hmm . lulu : well , in that case ... new york , here we come . [ dante chuckles ] [ scene_break ] jason : i may have been wrong about the reason why sonny went to rome . he might not have connected with brenda . i do n't know . carly : yeah . he went for the pizza . jason : either way , he 's going to be landing at a private airstrip , and he asked me to have diane meet him there . carly : do you think brenda 's going to be with him ? jason : carly , i do n't know . i doubt it . diane and sonny have to go straight to the pcpd . he 's going to turn himself in , which does n't leave enough time for dante and me to prove that johnny even -- carly : wait . you and dante ? since when have you been working with dante ? [ scene_break ] maxie : so let me get this straight . the plan is to make lisa think that you and patrick have broken up . patrick will act available . lisa will make her move . and somehow , patrick manages to trip her up so she incriminates herself ? robin : well , something like that . maxie : that 's way too transparent . and if lisa figures it out , she 's going to be even more dangerous than before . robin : well , do you have any better ideas ? maxie : no , but i could probably come up with one in , like , 24 hours . robin : no , i ca n't afford to wait . lisa has already gotten me suspended , and she 's threatened emma more than once . maxie : just do n't let lisa figure out that you and patrick are working together . although that is kind of promising . robin : i ca n't even think about my marriage right now . i 'm just focused on keeping my daughter safe and proving lisa 's crazy . maxie : psychotic people can be very seductive and convincing . they can make you do things you know are wrong , like franco did with me . robin : this is a completely different situation . maxie : it 's not that different , okay ? patrick only slept with lisa once , and trust me , i think he regrets it . ca n't you just cut him a little slack ? robin : is this about you and spinelli never getting over the whole franco thing ? maxie : look , if i could take back what i did that night , i would . but spinelli and i are different . i mean , you and patrick , you stand to lose a lot more than we did . sometimes people just mess up , robin . and you have to get over it . robin : it hurts too much to think about that right now . at least patrick and i agree on one thing -- we want lisa out of our lives forever , no matter what it takes . [ scene_break ] lisa : once you remember what it feels like to be a free man , you will thank me . patrick : i 'm not the dog that you used to know in med school . i 'm a husband who loves his wife . i 'm a father who would lay down his life for his little girl . and because of one drunken night with you , i 'm in jeopardy of losing all of that . lisa : okay . well , you know , we both wanted it , and if your marriage was sound , it would n't fall apart because of one mistake . if it even was a mistake . patrick : marriage is complicated . lisa : you know what ? i have known you a lot longer than robin has , and i know that your biggest fear is becoming a skirt - chasing drunk like your dad . patrick : yeah . you got that right . lisa : yeah . well , you do n't have to leave emma the way that noel left you , okay ? you can still be a great dad . although it 's sad to see robin come unglued , i just hope that she gets the help that she needs . patrick : well , i 'm not sure that she 's the one that needs it . lisa : okay . do n't even start . i am fine . but i know what this really is . you 're just upset because robin left you , and nobody leaves patrick drake . patrick : i would hope that i 've grown past that . lisa : well , now you know what it feels like to be left behind . but you 'll get over it , just like i did . [ scene_break ] lucky : mac , listen . you ca n't listen if you 're yelling . lisa niles has n't done anything , okay ? at least not officially . and you know , maybe the police report she filed with me was n't really necessary , but it was n't bogus . i mean , robin did threaten to kill her in front of witnesses . i 'm going to tell you what you always tell me . just go by the book and follow the rules . if we give lisa enough time , she 'll make a mistake . yeah , well , i 'm sick of the rules , too . we all are . [ knock on door ] lucky : somebody 's at my door . i 'll call you later . all right . tracy : hi . i have a job for you . lucky : this ought to be good . tracy : i want you to take a little trip . i 'm going to pay all the expenses , and i 'm going to give you ten grand to start and plenty more to follow . lucky : in return for what ? tracy : i want you to find your father and bring him home , and i do not want you to let luke know that i put you up to it . [ scene_break ] carly : you hate dante . you know he 's a liar and a traitor , and that he had michael sent to prison . jason : i understand that , but it saves time to work with dante , and sonny does n't have any to spare now -- carly : except you want to prove that johnny was carrying a gun when sonny shot him , and dante wants to prove the opposite . jason : he wants the truth . he came to me with this . carly : oh , my god . that should be a red flag to you . it 's a trick . he wants you to obtain the evidence illegally so he can charge you with something . god knows what he 'll do to spinelli . and any evidence that you find that could prove sonny 's innocent , i guarantee it 's going to mysteriously disappear . jason : the good thing about that is spinelli and i control the evidence , and we decide what dante sees . carly : okay . the second dante builds a case against sonny , he 's going to double cross you . have you forgotten how dante turned michael in to the court ? jason : he also got michael out . carly : a little too late . i do n't know what happened to michael in prison , but he 's nowhere near over it , and that 's on dante . [ scene_break ] dante : ma , what are you doing ? olivia : i could ask you the same thing . dante : i 'm doing my job . you know , catching bad guys . olivia : i guess you heard that johnny woke up . dante : yeah . you should bring him homemade pastries . olivia : i did n't have any time . dante : i do n't get you . i really do n't . i mean , you devote your entire life to bringing me up away from the mob , and now , you 're in so deep with this guy that you 're bringing him store - bought pastries ? olivia : if you makes you feel any better , john and i are fighting , okay ? dante : oh , yeah ? about what ? you know what ? never mind . i do n't want to know . olivia : i believe sonny . i do n't know what happened to john 's gun , but i know he had one . dante : well , he says he did n't in the police report . olivia : i think he woke up here in the hospital , he heard that sonny was charged with attempted murder , and he decided to run with it . dante : so you think he 's lying . olivia : so do you . i do n't think after what happened with you that sonny would ever shoot an unarmed man again . dante : yeah , but sonny jumped bail . makes him look guilty . it backs up johnny 's story . olivia : the truth always comes out eventually . if you learn one thing from my mistakes , i hope you 'll at least learn that . [ scene_break ] steve : you 're lucky to be alive . johnny : i hear you led the surgery to save my life . steve : yeah . i have a lot of experience with emergency trauma . but i 'm not the one who saved your life . that would be olivia . she pretty much camped out , talked to you , prayed , willed you into surviving . but i have n't seen her around here very much since you woke up . johnny : i 'm much easier to get along with when i 'm asleep . steve : are n't we all . johnny : we were fighting about sonny , as usual . she wants me to say that i had a gun , that sonny shot me in self - defense . but that 's not how it went down . [ scene_break ] lucky : you want me to track down dad , huh ? tracy : if anybody can find your father , you can . besides , he 'll be thrilled to see you . he 'll take you off on an adventure . that 's fine . just bring him home when you 're done , okay ? lucky : does this mean that you 're ready to take him back ? tracy : no . lucky : then what 's the point ? tracy : i need somebody to be mad at . i need somebody to outsmart . i want to worry if my martini 's been poisoned . look , i do n't expect you to understand . suffice to say , my family is ready to ship me off to shadybrook , with alice leading the pack . lucky : ah . so you want me to do this for alice . i see . tracy : do you want 75,000 ? is that enough ? there 's plenty . you name your price . lucky : now tracy , i ca n't just walk away from my job . tracy : oh . spencers do n't hold jobs . they have inconveniences that bring in a little money . lucky : still , i ca n't just vanish . tracy : do you want to spend your entire career goading your father ? have you not made your point ? lucky , luke has been gone way too long . somebody should have heard from him by now . lucky : he stole ten million of your dollars when he found out your marriage was a fraud . maybe he 's afraid that you 're going to press charges . you ever think of that ? tracy : i do n't want to prosecute him . i just want to see him . and clearly , you need a reason to leave town . lucky : what gives you that impression ? [ tracy laughs ] lucky : what ? tracy : lucky , i have been observing spencers for a long , long time , and you , my friend , have the look . it 's the look your father gets when he 's dreaming up a scam . ethan gets it when he 's fleecing customers . even lulu gets it sometimes . lucky : you 're amazing . tracy : look . you 're going to leave town one way or another , so why do n't you make a little money while you 're at it ? you want to raise a little hell on my dime ? [ scene_break ] alexis : you like irony , right ? remember how hard i tried to keep sonny out of kristina 's life ? well , he 's decided to play bang - bang shoot-'em - up with his mobster friends again , and he took off , and the only thing that upsets me is the fact that he 's not spending time with his daughter . nikolas : how does kristina feel about all that , by the way ? alexis : well , you think she 'd be used to it by now , but she 's never going to get used to it . school might help , i guess , although the girls are a bit mean , so i do n't know that she 's looking forward to going to madison . what about aiden ? must be difficult for you to have sent him off to california . nikolas : yeah . of course it was . i mean , i hate missing the first few weeks of his life , the same way i hated missing time with spencer when he was a baby . but i do n't know . elizabeth 's not happy here . whatever . i 'm just trying to keep my mind off it by working too much , as always . alexis : mmm . anything interesting ? nikolas : well , i 'm going to france for the weekend with a stopover in london . alexis : oh , that explains the scone and the tea . what are the odds i can get some really caffeinated coffee ? because i 'm going to start to twitch , and it 's not pretty . nikolas : alfred is sending over a fresh pot straightaway . alexis : thank you . straightaway . that 's good . you know the one thing i learned from my friend , my english friend ? i can assemble a scone perfectly . want to see ? nikolas : actually , i would like to see your scone - dressing etiquette , because i 'm going to need some help with that on my trip . alexis : oh , okay . what kind of help ? nikolas : well , i 'm going to phillip nyce 's chateau for the weekend , so you know all about that . alexis : is he still running that european container line ? nikolas : yes . yes , he is . we 're discussing a possible business venture together , hence the informal invitation to a house party . and i certainly ca n't show up to a party in the countryside alone , so . alexis : oh , i ca n't go . i 've got the kids -- nikolas : not with you . i have a date . alexis : oh , a date ? nikolas : yes . alexis : who 's the lucky girl ? nikolas : brook lynn ashton . alexis : are you out of your mind ? nikolas : so i sense you do n't approve of me spending a weekend with brook lynn . alexis : no , it 's not that at all . i just do n't think she 's the right girl to bring on this particular trip . nikolas : i 'm not saying it wo n't be a challenge . alexis : what is she going to talk about with phillip ? he 's a snob . she 's from bensonhurst . her mother has 500-inch plastic fingernails , and her dad was a rock star that wore leather pants . nikolas : who you were in love with , by the way . alexis : absolutely . he 's a great guy . brook lynn 's a great gal . but she 's not the right match for this trip . if she opens up her mouth , it could blow the whole thing for you . brook lynn : okay . so just know that that barn you have ? it 's bigger than my cousin frankie 's apartment . nikolas : i was just telling alexis here about our pending trip together . alexis : all right . i think you should run . run like the wind . flee this place while you still have the chance . [ scene_break ] lisa : oh , hey , you know what ? i 've got a case that has patrick drake written all over it . unless , of course , you do n't think that we should pool our considerable talents to heal the sick . patrick : lisa , we 're not working together anymore . no consults , no surgery . i do n't know how much more clear i can be about that . maxie : patrick , i need to talk to you . patrick : what 's wrong ? maxie : look . basically , i 'm only here because i believe in true love , although robin would kill me if she knew i was talking to you . patrick : maxie , is robin all right ? maxie : we were supposed to go to the park to have a picnic so she could get her mind off of you , but that did n't exactly work . we had a huge argument . look , i love robin , but she can be impossible sometimes . and even though she wo n't admit it , i know she 's really upset at how this is turning out . and i think she would be happy to see you . [ scene_break ] jason : you just need to forget about getting even with dante right now . carly : you know , we 've all made a lot of mistakes with michael , but we were trying to protect him . dante just wanted another little star for his badge . jason : we have other things to worry about right now , carly . carly : michael does n't want to finish school . did you know that ? what 's more important than that ? this is a little boy that we hoped would grow up to be a lawyer or a ceo of a big company and have this fabulous life , and he thinks he 's nothing . he sees no hope for his future . and he has n't been the same since he came home from pentonville . jason : we are all responsible for putting him there . carly : michael almost flipped out yesterday when a girl tried to pull him into the water at the country club . he flinches every single time somebody tries to touch him . have you looked into his eyes lately ? because he 's broken . and that 's on dante , jason . jason : i 'm just saying it does n't help to target dante . carly : [ chuckles ] you 're never going to change my mind about this , because dante put a teenage boy in a federal prison . and yeah , he got him out , but it was a little too late . and i do n't care how hard he tries to redeem himself . he can never undo what happened to michael . [ scene_break ] dante : how you feeling ? johnny : pretty good , actually . dante : got a few questions about the statement you made . johnny : i bet you do . dante : just to clarify , you were unarmed when you ran into sonny on baker street . he shot you without provocation . johnny : yeah , just like you . only i 'm not going to perjure myself on the stand trying to protect him . dante : you know , it 's just hard to believe that you did n't have a gun on you . johnny : you and claire walsh . i ca n't help you there . did n't have a gun . dante : yeah . just too convenient for me . johnny : dante . you 'll feel a lot better about things when you can accept your father for what he really is .

[ scene_break ] alexis : first , i want to tell you that i am so fond of nikolas . and i am very fond of you , actually , which is why i 'm going to tell you that i think it 's probably a very bad idea that you go on this trip . and he 's a very poor prospect . brook lynn : poor ? mmm . i do n't think so . alexis : well , i think it 's a terrible idea if you guys get involved . nikolas : really ? well , it 's one weekend , and we 're not involved . alexis : let elizabeth be a cautionary tale . brook lynn : elizabeth ? i 'm not planning on getting knocked up anytime soon . and while we 're talking about this , `` run , run like the wind `` ? do you know what image comes to mind ? alexis : hmm ? brook lynn : you . yeah , that 's right . you running away from the church when you were supposed to marry my dad . alexis : i have relationship issues . brook lynn : i know . i heard you flagged down a semi . alexis : i did . i 'm nuts . brook lynn : crazy . alexis : we all are . [ brook lynn laughs ] alexis : we 're all insane . the cassadines are insane which , again , is another reason why you should n't get involved with nikolas . nikolas : we 're not involved . alexis : i do n't want to belabor this , but i think that he really , truly has n't gotten over the loss of emily . brook lynn : neither have the quartermaines . alexis : i do n't know . do you think i 'm handling this badly ? nikolas : mm - hmm . alexis : okay . i 'm just going to try one more thing . he leans toward obsession , and he 's looking for a purpose in his life . brook lynn : okay . just relax . just relax . you want the truth ? i need money . he needs a date . so this is strictly about work . we good ? alexis : we 're good . okay . i 'm out of here . nikolas : she 's right , though . my life is a mess , so if you 'd rather steer clear of this little escapade we 're about to embark on , feel free to leave .

[ scene_break ] carly : are you sure you want to send all the calls to voicemail ? lulu : yeah . why is sonny coming back ? did he get caught ? carly : no . turning himself in . i guess he had a change of heart when he left the country , and he does n't want his kids to think that he could shoot an unarmed man after what happened to dante . lulu : dante was finally getting in a good place about this . he was acting like the whole investigation was just a formality . carly : maybe it is . lulu : you know what ? when sonny comes home , dante 's going to have to choose between his father and the badge . carly : why ? you just said that dante thinks sonny 's guilty -- lulu : dante does n't know what to think . he wants to believe sonny . what if he lies for him again ? what if he does something stupid to protect sonny , and what if this time , he gets caught ? [ scene_break ] johnny : those test results must be looking pretty good . feeling a lot better . steve : well , you 're resilient . i 'll give you that . johnny : well , i 've had good doctors . steve : [ chuckles ] you do n't have to say that . we 're letting you out in a couple of days , anyway . you should arrange for some home care for at least a week . would you like me to make the arrangements ? johnny : get back to you on that one . steve : no problem . johnny : so , you interested in taking care of me when i get out of here ? olivia : well , that depends . you interested in telling the truth about how you got shot ? [ scene_break ] dante : so where 's sonny been this whole time ? jason : you know i ca n't tell you that . dante : well , if he 's so innocent , why did he jump bail ? jason : why do n't ask sonny when you see him ? in the meantime , we have to find proof that johnny had a gun . dante : [ sighs ] the names spinelli came up with , these 5 made atm transactions in the neighborhood around the time of the shooting . maybe they saw something . i do n't know . jason : did you narrow down the timeframe ? dante : not yet . jason : when was johnny found ? dante : i do n't know . it 's in the report . jason : [ sighs ] i do n't believe this . dante : what , you found something ? jason : yeah . proof that sonny 's innocent . it 's been in this report the whole time . [ scene_break ] johnny : from what i hear , you did n't leave my side the whole time i was out . olivia : how come you 're avoiding the question ? johnny : is it true ? olivia : yes . johnny : hmm . i would n't have expected that you would have stayed . i would n't have expected anybody to stay . but for what it 's worth , no matter what happens with us , i 'll always be grateful for that . olivia : i 'm not hearing a good - bye in there somewhere . johnny : you 're not , not from me . i love you . i 'd love for you to take care of me when i got out of this place , and i would love to pay you back by taking you somewhere -- the islands , paris , somewhere you 've always wanted to go . olivia : then tell the truth , john . tell them what happened . you had a gun , you pulled it on sonny , you hesitated , and he shot you first , because that 's the life that you 've both chosen to live in . johnny : there was no gun . olivia : you 're telling me that you approached sonny unarmed ? johnny : you know about my reckless streak . olivia : you are lying . you always have a gun . i do n't know what happened to it . maybe it got lost or lifted , or it 's sitting in some police warehouse somewhere . you can end this all right now . just tell the truth . admit that you had a gun . call it even . drop this vendetta against sonny . let us stop having this same stupid argument over and over again , johnny . we could have a real future together . johnny : i 'd love that . olivia : but it 's not going to happen . [ sniffles ] you hate sonny so much that you ca n't even see what really matters anymore , not even when it 's looking you right in the face . [ scene_break ] lulu : i tie myself in knots trying to understand why dante would cover for a man who shot him . carly : any conclusion ? lulu : well , it took me a while , but i think it was because dante was fresh out of surgery . he just found out sonny was his father . and it sent him reeling . carly : that 's understandable . lulu : he could n't turn off this conflict that he was feeling and send sonny to prison . he had too much that he had to figure out . but for a while , i thought he would get past all the confusion because dante is all about upholding the law that sonny breaks every single day . carly : not always that clear - cut , especially with him . lulu : right , exactly , which is why i wish that sonny was n't dante 's family . to be honest , it 's why i wish that sonny never came back . you know , i thought , `` sonny 's jumped bail . he 's shown us who he really is . great . done . `` but that 's obviously too good to be true , because sonny is too all about sonny to just stay gone . he probably went wherever he was going and realized he could n't stand not being the center of everybody 's attention . carly : it 's sonny world , you know . we just live in it . lulu : i know . but dante puts on a gun every day , and he goes out there , and he finds bad people , and he brings them to justice . and that worries me , just like any woman who 's involved with a cop . but i am more worried about sonny and what he could do . what if he forces dante into a decision that he ca n't take back ? the badge means everything to him . so if he betrays that ... carly : [ sighs ] i wish i could be more encouraging , but you know , the truth is , dante will compromise himself again . he already did it once , lulu . he crossed the line for his father , and that makes it really easy to do again . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm looking at the same report you were looking at , and i have n't found any proof -- jason : right there . who found johnny in the street ? dante : ronnie dimestico . are you serious ? that 's your proof that johnny was armed ? give me a break . jason : ronnie hates sonny as much as he hates me . dante : he would n't frame sonny . jason : are you kidding ? he had a history with franco that he never confessed to . who knows what this guy is covering up ? dante : come on . he would n't tamper with evidence . jason : dante , you got to look at what 's right in front of you . nothing in that report contradicts what sonny says until ronnie shows up . ronnie ditched the gun to frame sonny . dante : all right , look . he would never do this . jason : you know as well as i do that johnny always carries a gun . he would never meet sonny face to face unarmed . dante : okay . if he tampers with evidence , he loses his badge . jason : are you going to protect him ? dante : i 've known him a hell of a lot longer than i 've known sonny corinthos . jason : okay . so you can look at this like a cop -- you can lie and protect one of your own -- or you could find the truth and help sonny . [ scene_break ] patrick : i am so sick of apologizing to you . robin : then do n't apologize anymore . if you want lisa , take her . we know it would n't be the first time . patrick : great . so now , this is all my fault . robin : you 're the one that ca n't be trusted . patrick : you went to africa . robin : so you 're punishing me for that ? you just decided that that 's the way to get back at me , by sleeping with lisa ? patrick : no , i made a mistake sleeping with lisa . i would n't expect you to understand that . i mean , you never do anything wrong . robin : oh , i did . i definitely made a mistake when i married you . patrick : yeah . look where that got me . i feel like i 'm in prison . robin : good . well , you want out ? get out of jail . just go , okay ? if you want lisa , she 's all yours . [ scene_break ] [ lucky sighs ] [ door opens ] lucky : look , whatever my father has done , i 'm sure he had no intention of violating international law . and as for any contraband that may have been found in his vicinity , he did n't know anything about it . if antiquities are involved , i 'm sure he just thought they were forgeries . you know , doing someone a favor . he 's a sucker for a sob story . that innocent guy just caught in the wrong place at the wrong time . agent bates : yes , your father seems quite fond of herring . lucky : then you know about it . agent bates : interpol knows a great deal about luke spencer , but innocent is not a word i would choose to describe him . lucky : do i need to call a lawyer ? agent bates : detective spencer , i appreciate your concern for your father . but right now , interpol is much more interested in you .

[ voice breaking ] i mean , obviously , 'cause only a best friend would give me what you 've given me . maxie : you do n't regret asking me to be your surrogate , do you ? because i - i do n't regret for one second doing it for you . typical , selfish maxie fashion . i think carrying that baby not only helped you , but it helped me , too . lulu : it helped you to do what ? maxie : focus on something wonderful after losing spinelli . ellie : i 'm working late tonight , so to avoid unnecessary contact , now would probably be a good time to go to the apartment and collect your belongings . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i 'm not sure what you mean . ellie : all evidence points to our relationship being over . am i wrong ? maxie : i needed to get out of myself , stop wallowing , and think about something bigger than me . having this baby was the perfect way to do that . making you happy makes me happy . i love you so much , lulu , and you might not realize that right now . lulu : of course i do . maxie : i would do anything , give up anything , for you . lulu : well , i need you to get better . maxie : i will . lulu : 'cause i need my baby girl to love you as much as i do . nikolas : britt . sabrina : what are you doing ? ! britt : i am taking my pregnant self to the hospital . sabrina : no -- nikolas : br - britt , you 've got to lie back down . britt : no ! i am delivering this baby in a sterile environment where there are doctors and , more importantly , drugs ! sabrina : you 're an o.b . britt : so what is that supposed to mean ? that i have to deliver my own baby now ? ! sabrina : no , what i 'm saying is , you of all people should know that your contractions are far too close to be able to get off the island and back to g.h . britt : you know what ? ! first of all , there is no way in hell i am letting you get near this , okay ? sabrina : i 'm a trained nurse . britt : no , you are a glorified candy striper ! seriously , she does n't even know how to change a bedpan without an iident . i mean , how are you gon na deliver a baby ? ! sabrina : i 've seen it done . britt : i 've seen nik wallenda walk a tightrope . i 'm not gon na cross the grand canyon . no ! no ! you two stop making eyes at each other . i am being rational right now . you are just trying to sabotage me and my baby and make me pay for every insult and slight that i ever dished out to you . sabrina : i 'd call pinning a police officer 's death on me more than a slight . not to mention framing me for cheating on my final exam . oh , and humiliating me at the nurses ' ball . britt : she 's never gon na let it go . sabrina : do you want to know what i would never do ? britt : she 's never gon na let it go . sabrina : i would never put a child 's life at risk -- or yours -- just to get back at you . britt : i ca n't do it . nikolas : yes , yes , you can . you can do this . yes , you can . i 'll be right there next to you . dante : is this situation a police matter ? brad : yes . dr. drake , he -- he punched me when he found out he was n't the real father and ... i was . dante : i - i think my -- my head 's imploding a little bit . brad : evidence right here . dante : okay , so [ clears throat ] you want to press charges . is that right ? [ cell phone rings ] dante : uh , it 's my brother . i - i really need to take this . brad : family crisis . dante : yeah . look , you want to file assault charges , file a report , just head down the station , okay ? brad : thanks . dante : yeah . michael , what 's up ? michael : we think dad might be on the haunted star . dante : what would he be doing there ? michael : it 's a long story , but morgan and i are headed there right now . can you -- can you meet us there ? dante : yeah , yeah , i 'll be right there . morgan : what the hell 's he doing in there ? we need to go . kiki : are you sure you do n't want to stay here with me ? morgan : this is my family , kiki . kiki : it seems like michael and dante can handle it . morgan : okay , but whatever it is , i need to be a part of it , all right ? this is important to me . kiki : i really hope your dad 's gon na be okay . morgan : thanks for saying that , for being here with me . kiki : of course . i 'm your wife . it 's my job to be here , right ? [ chuckles ] for better or for worse . morgan : i love you . kiki : i love you , too . sonny : you 're not being fair ! it 's my choice ! olivia : i 'm not being fair ? ! connie is gone ! she took your heart with her ! i get that ! do n't you see that that is what you would be doing to us , to me , to your children , and everybody who loves you ? please do n't do that , sonny . do n't make us live without you . sonny : i 'd actually be doing you a favor . olivia : how can you say that ? sonny : because if i keep on ... if i keep on living , the cycle is just gon na go on and on and on . and i 'm just gon na keep on hurting ... the people i love . spinelli : in truth ... i have n't done much thinking about us . been a little busy with this dilemma of paternity -- my daughter , dante , lulu , maxie . ellie : i know . i know . i 'm sure it 's overwhelming . spinelli : that would be an understatement . ellie : and while i truly understand , damian , you 've been so cold to me and brusque ... spinelli : [ sighs ] ellie : ... refusing to accept my multiple apologies . i just -- i had no reason but to assume i irreparably damaged our relationship . spinelli : well , as i 've said , i have n't waded that far yet . ellie : do you think possibly you could wade there now ? i mean , just let me know if there is any remote chance for us . because , damian , i love you so much . spinelli : i love you , too . britt : ohh ! i ca n't believe this is happening ! i would much rather give birth in a mosquito - infested field than with that vengeful cockapoo . sabrina hates me . nikolas : well , no offense , but she did kind of have good reasons , did n't she ? britt : are you taking her side ? nikolas : nope , nope , not taking any sides . not today . britt : yeah , well , you need to tell her that . nikolas : look , sabrina was my nurse for a few days . she seemed extremely capable and professional . no matter what your past , she 's not gon na hurt you . come on . sabrina : i better sterilize these in case we have trouble getting the baby out . kidding . [ chuckles ] britt : [ mocking chuckle ] sabrina : i 'm gon na go scrounge up some more supplies . britt : ah . nikolas : um , yeah , yeah , help yourself . the linens are on the second floor , top of the stairs , turn left , third door on your right . sabrina : great . thanks . britt : mnh . nikolas : now , see ? she 's obviously not nervous . otherwise she would n't be joking around like that . britt : do i look like i 'm in the mood to joke ? nikolas : okay , look , um , forget sabrina . epiphany says that i am a great birth coach , so i am gon na get you through this . britt : yeah , says the guy who practically sprinted out of here to get brad to take me off his hands . nikolas : let me tell you what a piece of work that guy is . i sincerely hope the baby takes after its mother . britt : do you ? nikolas : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that i left before . but now is my chance to make it up to you , okay ? you ca n't count on brad . you do n't trust sabrina . so i 'm asking you to trust me . can you do that ? britt : ohh , god ! nikolas : okay , all right . britt : here comes another one . nikolas : i got you . all right , mama , let 's do this . come on . breathe . britt : [ groans ] maxie : where 's dante ? i think i should apologize to him , too . lulu : he 's in the middle of a situation with his dad . maxie : sonny must be devastated . lulu : you heard about connie ? maxie : can you believe she 's gone ? i learned so much from her . lulu : i know you looked up to her . maxie : i 'm gon na miss connie . and if i feel that way , i ca n't imagine how sonny must feel . lulu : it 's awful . maxie : he has to face the rest of his life knowing that he ca n't be with her again . sonny : you know what ? ! i - i try to do the right thing ! olivia : [ sighs ] sonny : bodyguards , bulletproof vests , bulletproof windows . i say to myself that ... that i 'm doing the best i can to protect my -- my family . olivia : you do . sonny : no , i do n't ! it 's a lie . it 's -- the truth is , i do n't protect spit . i am what i am . i do what i do , and people i care about pay the price .

[ chuckling ] for you , my ice princess . maxie : mac came to me before the wedding and told me that i should n't marry levi because you have feelings for me . i did n't believe him because mac despises levi , which turns out to be extremely perceptive on mac 's part . but when he told me about you ... i just assumed he was making it up as a way to stop the wedding . um ... was he making that up ? nathan : no . no , he was n't . i do have feelings for you , maxie . i have since the moment i laid eyes on you . maxie : really ? you 've had feelings for me since the day we met ? nathan : yeah , that night when i showed up for the sublet , and you opened the door , and ... i was just dazzled . maxie : well , now i know you have a concussion , because that was one of the worst times of my life . i had n't had a facial in months , my hair was a disaster , and to top it all off , i was in the middle of packing for a trip . god knows what i looked like . nathan : you looked beautiful . but it was -- it was more than just how you looked . we got to talking , and i could see how friendly you were and how charming , and [ sighs ] but there was something you were covering . and what i could see underneath all that bubbly personality was -- was real pain , and i did n't know the details at the time , but i knew that i wanted to comfort you . maxie : you tried . you gave me your handkerchief . nathan : we could n't have talked for more than an hour , but i just -- i just ft this connection to you . and then you were gone . and i was just in your apartment , thinking about you , wondering what you were doing . maxie : well , i thought i was finding myself , but as it turns out , i was being duped by a con man . nathan : one of the worst days i can remember , when i found out the truth about my mother , i got home , and i do n't even think i had the energy to turn the lights on . i just sat there in the dark and stared at nothing . [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] and then , all of a sudden , there you were , right when i needed comfort . i could n't , uh -- i could n't help but think that maybe you 'd been sent back to me to do it . nikolas : i have n't spoken to my uncle in months . what makes you think he has anything to do with this ? dr. obrecht : because i just spoke to him . nikolas : what ? anna : [ sighs ] dr. obrecht : the commissioner was n't doing anything to find my son ... so i called victor to see if he could help . anna : what makes you think victor cassadine could -- or even would help you ? britt : apparently , he 's helped her before with certain classified information . anna : like ... the wsb file you showed me concerning faison ? did victor get you that file ? how the hell did he get his hands on that ? dr. obrecht : because he 's the head of the wsb , you dummkopfs . levi : i ca n't believe i let that two - bit detective get the drop on me . victor : i know . it 's shocking , criminal mastermind that you are . levi : if you had bothered to return my calls instead of leaving me stranded in the safe house with the two hostages -- victor : what 's done is done ! i would n't worry if i were you . dante certainly ca n't harm you now . levi : all i care about is extracting a little vengeance . where is he ? what room is he in ? the way i see it , i e him a bullet . victor : may i remind you that you work for me , mr. harrell -- that it is i who decides who gets a bullet , n you ? levi : so , you 're denying me my pound of flesh ? victor : well , at the very least , i 'm postponing it . i 'm afraid dante and his beloved wife are otherwise engaged at the moment . stavros : oh , i have missed you . oh , have you missed me , too ? dante : you get the hell away from her . stavros : or you 'll what ? you look entirely impotent , a feeling you must be used to . dante : i 'm gon na kill you . stavros : [ laughs ] your husband ca n't bother us . there 's no one to interrupt our reunion . lulu : that 's fine by me . i take care of myself . stavros : i know you can , but it 's gon na be so much more fun if i take care of you . lulu : [ spits ] stavros : [ laughs ] patrick : sam and i are gon na go talk for a second . what 's your driver 's name ? spencer : chandler . patrick : okay , you 're gon na wait with chandler for a second , all right ? sam : here , sweetie . patrick : thank you . sam : [ groans ] patrick : ca n't really take what this kid 's saying serious , can we ? sam : i know . i know . i know . it seems impossible . patrick : but is n't that what he does ? i mean , he does impossible . he got a band to play for emma at the nurses ' ball . he took off on his father and terrified him . sam : okay , spencer does tend to let his imagination get the best of him sometimes . patrick : but then there 's luke . i mean , luke is not anybody 's idea of a perfect person . he 's got regrets , right ? i would imagine his biggest one is killing his grandson , although it was a terrible accident , but , i mean , going after emma on purpose ? that just does n't -- sam : no , no , no . it does n't . this is definitely not the luke that i know . patrick : but what , sam ? sam : i do n't know . okay , so , it -- it seems like he 's been a little off lately . patrick : what do you mean by `` off `` ? sam : no , he 's -- i do n't know . he 's -- he 's erratic and irrational and just off . patrick : okay , well , keep going . what are you talking about ? sam : um , i - i do n't know . like , you know luke -- he does n't care what anyone thinks about him ever . patrick : right . sam : right ? but lately , he 's been -- he 's been , like , really nice and then -- and then really mean all of a sudden . and when on earth would he ever marry anybody at the nurses ' ball in front of everyone ? that 's just not like him . so i think maybe we should hear spencer out and just see what he has to say . patrick : okay , i 'm gon na go bring them in . emma , spencer , come in , please . all right , spencer . now , you said that luke caused the accident because you knew too much . what are you talking about ? what do you know ? spencer : i knew luke was after uncle sonny . carly : i understand that you 're worried , you know . come on . if anyone can take care of himself , it 's dante . he 's tough like his dad . sonny : do n't i know it . i mean , i 've been on the receiving end of his anger too many times . carly : mm . see ? i told you . if he can handle you , he can handle anything . [ chuckles ] sonny : yeah . carly : i - i 'm gon na go . rocco is in good hands . i 'm gon na get out of here . sonny : hey , carly . can you not go ? carly : sonny , please do n't push it . sonny : uh , what am i -- i 'm not pushing . what do you mean ? do n't push what ? carly : you know what i mean , okay ? look , i do n't want to tempt fate . we should n't be alone together . sonny : we 're not ale . we 're looking after rocco . carly : hey . sonny : what ? carly : i do n't want people thinking i 'm spending time alone with you . kiki already knows what happened between us . sonny : she did n't say anything . carly : yet . i did n't tell you what happened after i left your office ? i went to see franco . kiki was there . she went straight to him after i talked to her . sonny : and ? carly : and i think she was going to tell him , but i interrupted her . ultimately , she did n't say anything . sonny : like i said . carly : no . i 'm hoping she bought the logic that if she tells franco , it 's going to hurt him . sonny : who care -- i do n't give a damn . who cares if franco gets hurt ? carly : kiki cares , and if she finds out we 're spending time together , she may change her mind . i 'm -- i 'm hoping that she believed me when i told her that everything that happened is over between us . sonny : [ sighs ] but you -- you do n't really believe that , do you ? carly : sonny . patrick : luke was going after sonny ? how do you know that ? spencer : because i heard him the night of my father and britt 's engagement party , after ma dumped me . emma : you deserved it . you yelled at me about the egg being broken . you were mean . spencer : and i 've apologized . sam : but you were still upset that night ? spencer : s , my pain was still too fresh to endure the party , so i went to the stables to seek solace , and that 's when i overheard luke . patrick : what did he say , exactly ? spencer : he was talking to this man about how he wanted to take down uncle sonny . sam : wait a minute . what man ? spencer : i do n't know , but i went to the quartermaine estate to confront him about it . patrick : you -- you went by yourself ? spencer : yes , and i was unfairly punished by my father for missing school . i was unable to tell him the reason for my quest . sam : spencer , did you actually talk to luke ? spencer : yes . and he said that if i told anyone else what i had heard , he 'd hurt emma . emma : but i did n't do anything . spencer : i 'm sorry , emma . he used my feelings for you against me , and that very night , i saw emma on the news right after she 'd been in that car accident . sam : mm . patrick : yeah , the -- the news crew was down there after the accident . anna was taking care of emma . is that what you saw ? spencer : yes . and i knew it was a warning from luke , so i called him , and i promised i would n't tell anyone . and i did n't ... until now . that 's the truth and the whole truth and nothing but the truth . so help me , god . anna : victor cassadine is the head of the wsb ? what ? dr. obrecht : oh , yes . for quite some time . who do you think gave me my immunity deal ? nikolas : oh , you 've got to be -- my uncle victor is the one that kept you out of prison ? of -- of course . anna : i knew something was rotten in the upper levels of the bureau . it 's all become so secretive and closed - off . that 's -- that would explain why i could n't get a straight answer about where all these orders were coming from . nikolas : yeah . dr. obrecht : obviously , they did n't trust you with such sensitive information . and who would ? a police commissioner with ties to organized crime ? anna : i do n't have ties to any criminal enterprise . dr. obrecht : it 's common knowledge that duke lavery works for sonny corinthos . anna : no , he does n't work for him . dr. obrecht : you ca n't -- nikolas : stop it ! this is about finding lulu and the others , not your little personal vendettas you got going on with each other . anna : i 'm sorry , nikolas . you 're right . you 're right . okay . [ inhales , exhales deeply ] oh , so assuming , then , that victor cassadine is , in fact , head of the wsb , was he involved with the kidnapping ? did you know that he was behind this the whole time ? dr. obrecht : no , i - i had no idea until today . i simply called him to ask for help finding nathan . anna : oh . why would n't one criminal call in a favor from another ? dr. obrecht : what did you expect ? you were n't getting anything done , so i had no choice but to go over your head . anna : ah . dr. obrecht : but when i spoke to victor , he said something that led me to believe he was involved . anna : oh , yes , did he ? what did he say ? britt : i think i know . did it have something to do with him being nathan 's father ? levi : so you defrosted your nephew ? victor : [ chuckles ] it 's a miracle that doctor was able to successfully revive him from stasis . levi : and now he 's reunited with lulu falconeri , who he previously kidnapped to force her to marry him ? what a charmer . victor : stavros may be crazy . but he 's my family . levi : how nice of uncle victor to get him a back - from - the - near - dead present . victor : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] there are n't many cassadines left . well , at the very least , i can give stavros something that he really wants , and in this case , it 's his beloved ice princess . he has such big plans for the two of them . stavros : i suppose i should have expected that . lulu : come closer to me , i 'll scratch your eyes out . stavros : that 's the fiery lulu i came to know and love . dante : i told you -- you touch her , and i will kill you . stavros : enough , detective . lulu has already made it painfully apparent that she can take care of herself . you got that feisty side from your mother . that 's one of the things that made me fall in love with you , the reason i wanted to marry you . lulu : you saw me in a turkish airport , and you fixated on who you thought i was . you do n't know a damn thing about who i actually am ! stavros : at first . but then we spent some time together . lulu : you kidnapped me ! stavros : yes , and you did resist me . that 's part of the challenge . but i know i will wear you down . lulu : you truly are insane . stavros : huh ? we can be together at last ... and start a family . [ chuckles ] maxie : i had no idea you felt that way when i got back . nathan : well , i mean , you would n't have , 'cause that 's when levi came back and took all the air out of the room and the wind out of my sails . maxie : he was pretty obnoxious , was n't he ? nathan : [ scoffs ] maxie : what am i saying ? he was , like , obnoxious to the 15th power , and was even worse -- parroting every stupid little thing he said . nathan : well , that 's -- and it all went downhill from there . i mean , before we knew it , we were at each others ' throats , and i could n't figure out what had happened , and i started thinking maybe i was wrong -- that this girl that i met that i thought was so wonderful did n't actually exist , and i just made her up in my head , but -- but i knew she was real . i - i could see flashes of her -- of you . underneath levi and all his self - righteous posturing and all that nonsense , you were still the same big - hearted , bubbly girl that i met . you just were in a lot of pain . maxie : yeah . levi must have seen that pain , too , because that 's exactly what he used to manipulate me , and i was stupid enough to let him . nathan : hey . hey . you are not dumb , okay ? you 're smart and insightful . you were just hurt badly , and that affects your judgment , and levi saw that and exploited your heartache for his own gain . maxie : all his talk about inner peace and caring about others -- it 's just a cover . he -- he ruined my chances of getting georgie back . he ruined my life just to get ahold of my mom 's aztec jewelry . and now we 're here . i am so sorry i pulled you into this . nathan : it 's not all bad . maxie : how can you even say that ? nathan : being literally chained in the same room as you helped me get all this out in the open . so , now you know exactly how i feel about you , but i still have no idea how you feel about me . carly : sonny . sonny : what ? carly : sonny . sonny : what ? carly : [ sighs ] rocco : [ crying ] carly : well , someone , um , is awake . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : well , i 'm gon na get out of here . sonny : hey , buddy . what 's all the racket ? come on . can you please just not go right now ? carly : you seem to have everything under control . sonny : no , no . it 's just that he 's gon na be a handful , and he wants his mommy and daddy . ai n't that right , little buddy ? yeah , he just told me he wanted his mommy and daddy . rocco : [ continues crying ] sonny : can you -- carly : what makes you think i 'm gon na have any more luck than you ? sonny : remember when morgan was his age ? he had a set of lungs on him , and crying so loud , and the only one that can calm him down was you . okay , look , if you do n't do it for -- for me , just do it for the -- for the baby . come on . carly : okay . sonny : he 's really sad right now . carly : uh , yeah . hey , rocco . what 's going on ? you want some company ? ooh , come here . ohh . hey . he 's okay . [ both chuckle ] sonny : told you so . lulu : you are insane ! i already have a family . dante and -- and -- stavros : your son , rocco ? i am aware of your other biological ties . our child will be of noble blood , not the blood of some peasants from bensonhurst . dante : beats being from some lunatic inbreds like yourself . stavros : our child will be a cassadine , a prince . dante : your child will be a freak and crazy , just like you and your family are . stavros : will you shut up ? ! lulu : look , if you 've got some sort of sick , twisted idea about getting me pregnant , the joke is on you . stavros : [ chuckles ] lulu : yeah , thanks to what you did to me on that godforsaken island , i ca n't have your child . stavros : oh , well , that 's where you 're wrong . levi : so , that 's what your nephew 's going to do ? no offense , but that guy is one sick bastard . victor : [ chuckles ] that 's not the first time someone has said that out a cassadine . our plans are sometimes characterized as `` out of the box , `` but then that is both a blessing and a curse for the family . but we tend to get what it is we want . levi : okay , yeah , and as fascinating as this guy stavros ' plans are , i 'm more concerned about my own . so , tell me ... when do i get what i want ? anna : dr. westbourne , are you saying that nathan is a cassadine ? nikolas : we do n't know for sure . britt : she wo n't say . dr. obrecht : because it is irrelevant . what matters right now is that victor could be holding all those people captive . i have a strong suspicion that nathan is locked up . anna : oh . where ? where -- where is he locked up ? dr. obrecht : well , i 'm certainly not going to tell you that -- blurt out the location . i require certain assurances -- anna : just sp it out , woman . where is he ? dr. obrecht : fine . i 'll tell you . but first , i want to know exactly what happened to cesar . maxie : nathan ... nathan : yeah , i know . i did n't mean to put you on the spot . you left town to put your life back together . i know you did n't spend all your time away thinking about me . maxie : actually , i did think about you while i was gone . nathan : you did ? maxie : yeah . when i left on the plane , the whole way there , i kept thinking about how nice you were to me at the exact time that i needed it . and then i thought about how you suggested that i stay , and i found myself wondering if i should have . i did think about something else you said . nathan : what was that ? maxie : well , when i told you that i was leaving to find myself , you said ... nathan : for what it 's worth , you do n't seem so bad the way you are . nathan : you were n't . you 're not . maxie : neither are you . patrick : this is crazy , right ? i mean , he believes his own story , that 's for sure . sam : well , yeah , i mean , but he also believes that emma really could have gotten hurt , so ... patrick : so what do we do ? do we go to anna ? spencer : no ! you ca n't . emma : spencer , it 's okay . my daddy just wants to talk to my grandma . spencer : who 's the commissioner of the police . please , dr. drake . you ca n't tell the police , or luke will finish the job . sam : luke 's not even in town right now . you do n't have to worry . spencer : that you know of ! he could be watching us right now . do n't you care about emma ? you could be putting her in danger . please ... do n't repeat what i told you . sam : maybe for right now , we should just explore this on our own . spencer : so , are you going to tell her ? emma : daddy , i 'm scared . patrick : i know . i understand -- i mean , everything that 's happened after the accident . but i promise you that nothing 's gon na happen to you , okay ? i 'll protect you . emma : but what if what spencer 's saying is right , and that bad man finds out that spencer told us the truth ? what if he comes after me again ? sam : no , no one 's gon na hurt you , sweetie patrick : sam 's right . okay ? nothing 's gon na happen to you . and as of right now , we 're not gon na tell the police , okay ? spencer : [ exhales deeply ] patrick : it 's just gon na be our little secret . emma : okay . patrick : okay ? now it 's time to get you guys to school . you 're already late . spencer : my driver will have to explain my tardiness . patrick : well , tell your driver that i 'll take you guys to school , and i 'll explain to the teachers why you 're both late , okay ? spencer : okay . patrick : [ sighs ] sam : hey , patrick . um , sorry , but we got distracted , but what -- what were you gon na say before ? victor : you 're very demanding for an underling . may i remind you who 's in charge here ? levi : i do n't think my demands are so outrageous . you made me certain promises . victor : which i intend to keep , but right now , i am consumed with more pressing issues . levi : what issues ? maxie and lulu are safely locked up with those two annoying detectives , west and falconeri . victor : i have other guests to accommodate . levi : what other guests ? victor : you know , suffice it to say , as the head of this organization , i have many balls in the air , not to even mention my personal life . but right now , i have someone else on my mind . dr. obrecht : i 'll tell you everything you want to know . i 'll lead you right to victor 's doorstep . all i ask in return is the absolute truth about cesar . i want to know exactly what happened to him once and for all . nikolas : are you bargaining with my sister 's life right now ? britt : mother , if this is true , nathan is in as much danger as the rest of them . anna : nathan and dante we can be pretty sure did n't go quietly . nathan may very well be hurt . at the very least , we know he is going to try to escape . so we need to get in there and get them out before someone gets killed . do you understand ? britt : you gave up nathan because of my father , because you felt it was more important to chase him around than raise your own son . you claim that was a terrible mistake , that you wanted to make amends , and that you really care about nathan . well , if that 's true , then put your money where your mouth is . forget my father for one minute and tell us what you know . nathan : it 's nice to know that our meeting meant as much to you as it did to me , but i 'm still not entirely sure you answered my question . maxie : [ sighs ] i know . um , i 'm sorry . i just do n't know if i trust my feelings right now . i was just about to marry a man that i thought i was in love with , and it turns out i did n't even really know him at all . and i was gon na marry someone who was using me . nathan : max , levi was doing everything he could to make you think that he was a good guy . i got to see his true colors a couple of times when we were alone , but to you , he was the perfect boyfriend . maxie : no , that 's just it . he was n't perfect . there were so many times he would slip up and show how selfish or callous he was , but i would just give him the benefit of the doubt . instead of really looking at the man i was involved with , i would just defend him blindly to everyone . i even said those stupid wedding vows . i mean , if you had n't shown up when you did -- - thank you for that , by the way . nathan : you 're very welcome . maxie : and i meant what i said when levi was holding me at gunpoint . i would have been totally fine with you shooting him . nathan : yeah . [ groans ] i could n't get a clean shot , though . maxie : okay , well , please do n't take this as any sort of criticism , but i think you were being hypersensitive in a situation where you really did n't need to be . i mean , i could tell by how steady you were holding that gun that you had a perfect shot , and i was actually in no real danger at all . nathan : well , i appreciate your faith in me . [ sighs ] maxie : that 's just it . it makes perfect sense for me to have faith in you , but not too long ago , i also had faith in levi , which has turned out to be very stupid , and i do n't trust my judgment . i just do n't know if i 'm in the position to be telling anyone how i feel about them . nathan : and by `` anyone , `` you mean me . maxie : i 'm sorry , nathan . i just -- i ca n't answer your question . lulu : let me be clear . i do n't have any eggs . i ca n't get pregnant , no matter how amazing you think our children would be . the only potential i have for another biological child is my only remaining embryo that i created with dante , and that is under lock and key in port charles . stavros : i am well aware of your issues . however , i 'm not referring to your embryo . i am referring to ours . lulu : what the hell are you talking about ? stavros : oh , dearest lulu . i had a feeling you would n't recall . let me refresh your memory . back on cassadine island , before i put you into the deep freeze , i took the liberty of appropriating one of your eggs and fertilized it personally . lulu : that 's a lie . stavros : actually , no , it 's not . but you do n't have to take my word for it . the embryo in question ... is right here . carly : you know , i went to see ava . sonny : what do you mean ? you did ? carly : yeah . i mean , i had to fight through her wall of goons to get to her , but i did get in that apartment . sonny : why -- why would you subject yourself to ava ? carly : 'cause i wanted her to take a paternity test . and of course she refused . she said it was too invasive . she did n't want to hurt the baby . sonny : well , she was n't that concerned about the baby when she was drinking that martini . rocco : [ fussing ] carly : i know . oh , it 's okay . i know . i should have known better than to ask her to think about someone other than herself . sonny : mm . carly : but , you know , it s for morgan . he 's so distraught over the uncertainty . you know , and i just -- i do n't know . i thought that -- that she would do it for morgan -- that she would want to give him some peace of mind . but no , it looks like we 're all gon na be playing the waiting game . she is going to use that baby as leverage as long as she possibly can . sonny : yeah , well , you know , the baby 's an insurance policy for her . carly : so , are you still planning on , um ... sonny : i got to do it for connie . carly : what 's gon na happen to the baby ? carly : with ava out of the picture , if that baby turns out to be morgan 's , we have a big problem on our hands . sonny , our younger son is immature on a good day . there 's no way he 's equipped to handle a baby on h own . sonny : we 're his parents . we 're -- we 're there to help . rocco : [ coos ] carly : [ chuckles ] okay . sonny : yeah . carly : what if the baby turns out to be yours ? who 's gon na help you ? sonny : we will cross that bridge when we get to it . hey . we 're gon na cross that bridge , right ? right ? sam : before spencer and emma came to us about the accident , you were gon na tell me something about the clinic . it seemed pretty important . patrick : well , yeah , it was important , but after hearing that luke might have put rafe up to running us off the road , it just -- it does n't seem that important anymore . levi : who 's on your mind ? victor : someone i thought i loved , someone i thought i could trust . [ scoffs ] but i 'm not sure anymore . britt : mother , please . you kept telling nathan how much you love him . prove it by telling us where victor 's holding him . dr. obrecht : they 're all at the clinic in scarsdale , crichton - clark . hurry , before it 's too late . nathan : it 's okay . you do n't have to -- you do n't have to give me an answer about your feelings for me right now . i know the , uh , the circumstances are less than ideal . maxie : you could say that . [ both chuckle ] nathan : we should -- we should probably focus on trying to get out of here , anyways . maxie : yeah . probably should . stavros : say hello to our future progeny , lulu . lulu : i ca n't have your child . it 's not happening . dante : i do n't believe this . stavros : ah ! detective , believe it . i must admit , lulu , that when i put you in the deep freeze , i thought that perhaps it would cause you to become infertile . dante : and you did it anyway , you sick son of a bitch ? ! stavros : ah , ah , ah . i took precautions . what we have here is a miracle of modern science , our child -- yours and mine . all that 's left to do with it ... is implant it ... right there . [ next_on ] julian : ( to alexis ) you gon na let me in ? ava : ( to jordan ) do n't make the same mistake i did . t.j. : ( to shawn ) what 's going on , man ? who you been seein ' ? molly : what the hell are you doing here ? olivia : ( to ned ) we do n't even know if they 're still alive . maxie : ( with nathan ) where are dante and lulu ? stavros : ( to lulu , as dante glares at him ) you will have my child !

sloane : i told you about tampering with the election in confidence . anna : i know , and you also told me that you were going to make it right . sloane : well , i changed my mind . anna : that 's too bad . you knew i was coming to see jordan . did you honestly think that she was gon na give you a free pass and not get anything in return ? sloane : fix it . anna : i ca n't ! i do n't want to . sloane : we share another secret , anna -- a much bigger one . you killed a man in cold blood . you remember our little friend carlos rivera , do n't you ? the one that you shot at close range three times . or was it four ? anna : you 're such an ass . sloane : no , what i am is a witness to murder . and i will go public unless jordan gets me that immunity deal . [ scene_break ] jordan : well , mrs. shipley , if you do happen to find mr. lansing , it 's very important that i speak with him . yeah .

[ scene_break ] patrick : blood pressure 's dropping . his pulse is thready . he 's crashing . [ alarm beeping ] [ alarm rings ] [ scene_break ] sabrina : when michael got custody of avery , everyone accused him of wanting revenge on sonny . and that was part of it , but the other part was to avoid what 's happening right now . you know , this little angel is growing up surrounded by violence . lulu : yeah , but michael gave her back . sabrina : well , to make peace with his family . and i supported his decision . i thought i was for the best , but after today ... i wonder . maxie : i have to admit i was shocked when michael turned on sonny . i mean , yeah , sonny killed aj , and let 's be honest -- aj was a seriously flawed individual . and michael did n't even really know him . i mean , he grew up with sonny . he was named after him . he confessed to manslaughter to save him . sabrina : wait , what ? maxie : you do know that michael went to prison ? sabrina : yes , he was trying to save carly and josslyn , and he accidently killed his stepmother . lulu : uh , it 's a lot more complicated than that . maxie : sonny was on trial for murder and michael confessed to exonerate him . [ avery babbling ] sabrina : oh , i had n't realized . maxie : my point is , no matter how angry michael gets or how much he tries to distance himself , he will always be loyal to sonny . sabrina : why are you going out of your way to tell me this ? maxie : it 's probably a combination of anxiety , sadness , and too much champagne , but ... i can see how much you care about michael . and he really seems to care about you , too . i think you should know what you 're getting yourself into . spinelli always said there are two sides to michael -- the caring , sweet , and thoughtful side , and then there 's the side that grew up watching sonny and jason , learning how to do what they do . he killed his stepmother because he thought it 's what needed to be done . sabrina : no , no , you 're wrong . lulu : she 's right . dante says the same thing -- that as kind and gentle as he seems , deep down , michael is just like sonny . sabrina : michael 's left all that behind . he 's a quartermaine now . he 's has nothing to do with this life , thank god . he loves his mother and his siblings , and maybe he loves sonny , too , but you 're right when you say that -- that for all his money and his power , sonny is surrounded by violence , and his family pays the price .

[ sniffles ] sloane : and now all of those sacrifices are for nothing . you made sure of that when you murdered rivera because of your decision to exact revenge . anna : [ sobs ] you 're not telling me anything i do n't already know . sloane : julian jerome will never be punished for what he 's done . and in that moment , anna , he 's won . it 's your fault that duke 's murderer is walking around free and any other violence that he commits -- it 's on you , too .

[ scene_break ] curtis : so , you found a photo of whoever pushed elizabeth ? finn : ah ... sort of , see ? now , maybe when elizabeth was filming around in the stairwell after the blackout -- you know , maybe trying to get her flashlight up -- it looks like her phone took a picture of whoever was standing behind her . curtis : and the geotracker proves that this photo was definitely taken here , right about the same time elizabeth ate it down the stairs . finn : right , so the person standing behind elizabeth in this photo is definitely a man , but who ? [ scene_break ] paul : commissioner . jordan : da hornsby , what can i do for you at this time ? paul : uh , why is n't hayden barnes in her cell ? jordan : well , we 're moving some prisoners around , and i 'm holding her in interrogation until we can free up some beds . is that a problem , or ... ? paul : well , we finished jury selection . the julian jerome murder trial begins in earnest tomorrow . i 'd like to wrap up the elizabeth webber attempted murder case today . jordan : well , it 's really not that cut - and - dry . paul : well then cut it and dry it , commissioner . okay ? go over everything again . if you ca n't get an actual confession and find out all the ways that , uh , hayden barnes hates elizabeth webber and get it on tape -- in other words , do your job . [ scene_break ] hayden : i 'm gon na save elizabeth ? how , through the power of prayer ? you just said the doctors are afraid she wo n't make it out of surgery . franco : no , no , no . she 's going to make it out of surgery with your help . hayden : how ? franco : there 's something about you and elizabeth that you do n't know .

[ scene_break ] sonny : have you ever heard from anna ? griffin : yeah , a few times . she 's , uh , enjoying time with her family , so i have n't wanted to trouble her by bringing up julian 's trial . da hornsby says he has an air - tight case . what do you think ? sonny : alexis wore a wire on julian . we have a recording that has him admitting that he ordered the hit on duke , and that he killed carlos rivera . he tried to kill alexis also . we do n't have a recording on that . but i was a witness , so alexis and i are going to testify . griffin : you think that 's gon na be enough to convict julian ? sonny : should be . griffin : even with the key witness behaving erratically ? [ scene_break ] lulu : we 've been to cassadine island twice before and survived . dante : barely . lulu : it 's different now . i mean , helena is dead . valentin is in prison . robert : but that does n't remotely guarantee your safety . now , helena could have left all manner of booby traps on that place . dante : yeah , robert is right . the more i hear about this thing , the more it sounds like it 's a set - up . helena left you in her will to lure you back to cassadine island . robert : w - wait -- what 's this about a will ? lulu : helena claimed that it was to me she owed her `` greatest and most sincere debt , `` that out of everyone there , i had done the most for her , more than i would ever know . then i got my inheritance , which was an empty envelope with an address -- 13 amiklon . robert : this address corresponds to an actual place on the island ? lulu : it does according to a woman named daphne , who lives there . [ scene_break ] finn : so , we know whoever pushed elizabeth down the stairs at least wears men 's clothing . curtis : well , it ai n't much , but at least it clears hayden . finn : yeah . well , maybe we should try blowing this up . curtis : uh , doc finn ? finn : ahh ! do n't sneak up on me like that ! curtis : my bad . that right there is crucial to exonerate hayden . we ca n't have you accidentally messing up and deleting it . we got one shot to get this right , all right ? i do n't want to screw it up . finn : yeah .

[ scene_break ] franco : elizabeth needs more blood . general hospital 's running dangerously low on her blood type . hayden : uh , so ? ca n't you just give her o negative ? franco : no . her body will only accept your particular blood type . hayden : that 's not possible . i happen to have a very rare blood type . franco : i know you do . the blood bank ran a hospital - wide screening , and lo and behold , you two are a match . hayden : so , of all people , i share a blood type with elizabeth ? franco : what are the odds ? hayden : astronomical . my entire life i 've never known anyone to have my blood type . that 's how rare it is . franco : well , now you do . hayden : so , there 's something you 're not telling me about all of this . what is it ? [ scene_break ] carly : i would like to hire you as my personal assistant . you will mainly be working at the hotel , so i 'll have to introduce you to my business partner olivia falconeri , but that 's just a formality . and you mainly will be working directly with me , so you 're gon na learn a lot about the hotel business , which you 'll probably love -- or not . but at least it 'll pay the bills . and you 'll probably have to be running a lot of personal errands for me . i hope that 's okay . nelle : look -- i - i truly appreciate that you 're trying to help me -- carly : this is not a made - up job . nelle : i did n't think it was . carly : yes , you did . i can tell by the look on your face . and now you 're wondering if you 're even qualified . nelle : well , i have no formal experience whatsoever in this area ! carly : that 's great , because this job requires no formal training or education . you 're gon na learn everything on the job . what do you say we discuss details ? nelle : look , i truly appreciate what you 're trying to do for me here , but i 'm gon na have to turn you down . [ scene_break ] griffin : i saw the picture of alexis davis grabbing your daughter . sonny : you just spend a lot of time with tmi on its website ? griffin : no , no , no . somebody who knows my interest in the jerome trial sent me a link . sonny : you want to know if alexis is cracking under pressure ? griffin : yeah . is she ? sonny : alexis is kristina 's mother , and i 'm not gon na cast doubt on her , but you are duke 's son , so i am gon na have to be honest with you . she 's ragged . she 's been drinking a lot more than i 've ever seen her . her confidence is shot , and she 's defensive . griffin : defensive how ? sonny : she 's smart and she knows it , and she hates to be wrong , and she was 100 % wrong about julian . she believed that he loved her . all right ? she ca n't admit that he did n't , and that 's gon na go against her in the trial . [ scene_break ] curtis : yo , we 're here . we made it . jordan : you -- you guys said five minutes . finn : yeah , well , there 's traffic . have you ever driven with this guy ? he 's a terrible driver . jordan : okay , whatever . i waited . you 're here . what 's going on ? curtis : we have elizabeth webber 's phone . jordan : i do n't even want to know how you two , of all people , ended up with elizabeth webber 's personal property . curtis : well , look , i 'll explain that later . right now , you need to look . [ scene_break ] franco : elizabeth dies , you could be facing murder charges . hayden : but i did n't push her ! franco : you did push her . you pushed her . hayden : [ sighs ] franco : does n't matter -- that does n't matter . what matters is that you could use your rare blood type to save elizabeth 's life . saving the woman who you allegedly tried to kill could go a long way to help you during trial , especially during sentencing . hayden : okay . fine . i 'm still not sure how all this could be happening , but i 'd donate my blood to elizabeth . franco : let 's get you to the hospital . come on . hayden : come on ? franco : yeah , what are you waiting for ? hayden : i 'm still in police custody , you idiot . franco : what , you never escaped police custody before ? hayden : of course not . for most people , jailbreaks are not a rite of passage . franco : hey , hey , hey ! first rule of thumb is to keep your voice down , all right ? hayden : what are you doing ? franco : well , i got in here . it should n't be too hard to get you out of here . hayden : are you kidding me ? [ gasps ] jordan : what the hell is going on in here ? [ scene_break ] griffin : have you tried talking to alexis ? sonny : for all the good it did . she knows how much i despise julian , so every time i bring him up , she thinks i 'm gloating , because i warned her about him from the jump . griffin : well , h - how were you able to see that julian was dangerous when alexis could n't ? sonny : julian was gunning for me from the day he showed up in port charles . he tried everything he could to disrupt my business . griffin : as a coffee importer ? sonny : y -- you really want to get sidetracked into talking about what i do for a living and whether it 's illegal or not ? griffin : no , absolutely not . sonny : julian made himself my enemy , and he hid behind his grandson danny morgan so i would n't lay a finger on him . griffin : anna told me about that . danny had leukemia , he needed a bone marrow transplant . julian was the only match . sonny : yeah . that 's why i asked your father to come work for me , because i needed an ally , somebody who would contain julian ... and not kill him . griffin : and julian -- julian should have known such constraint . he retaliated against my father by having him murdered . alexis davis knew that and chose to cover it up . sonny : alexis thought she was protecting the man she loved . griffin : and that somehow justifies her actions ? i mean , alexis davis was fine when julian had my father murdered . it was n't until he tried to frame her for -- for his crimes that she decided to go to the police . sonny : julian sold alexis on `` he was a changed man . `` griffin : and she chose to believe it because it suited her . look , how could i -- how could i trust this woman to get justice for my father ? how do i know she wo n't just change her mind and protect that son of a bitch all over again ? sonny : you seem a little pissed off about this ... father . are n't you the one who 's always , uh , you know , preaching forgiveness ? [ scene_break ] carly : you 're turning me down ? you have n't even looked at the job description . nelle : i told you from the start that i do n't want your charity . carly : this is n't charity . nelle : look , you do n't owe me anything , okay ? what happened to me -- joss may have benefited , but it 's not your fault . you do n't have to give me a job to make it up to me . carly : okay , look , do i want to help you because of what happened ? absolutely . but would i be willing to entrust my business , my family , and my home to you , based on that ? hell no . i 'm not that grateful . [ scoffs ] nelle : okay , well , what happened to your last assistant ? carly : he left me . sit down . he left me . he fell in love with a guest who had a business in niagara falls , so he took off and he moved there . the point is i need to fill his very capable shoes . does it have to be you ? no , it does n't , but i do need to have the position filled immediately . so , check out the job description and the compensation . i have to handle a work situation , and when i come back we 'll talk . [ door closes ] morgan : hey . nelle : hey , if you 're looking for your mom , she had to take a call with the hotel . there was a situation or something . morgan : ah . okay . yeah , there always is at that place . nelle : did you know her last assistant ? morgan : uh , trevor . yeah , yeah , yeah , sure , sure . he was , uh , a nice guy . um , he 's very , very organized , which is crucial if you 're gon na be working for my mom . nelle : she just offered me the job . morgan : [ chuckles ] how funny is that ? nelle : what do you mean ? morgan : well , i mean , you just got offered a job , and i just got chewed out of mine . [ scene_break ] lulu : her name was daphne . she found us when we were hiding out . thanks . she offered to help , and at one point she mentioned that her address was 13 amiklon . robert : i do n't know . this sounds a bit suspicious . i mean , who gives out their exact street address ? dante : well , someone we 're pretty sure was working for valentin . lulu : maybe he hired her after helena died . maybe daphne was working for helena first . robert : there 's a lot of if 's there , lulu . lulu : helena gave me an empty envelope with the address 13 amiklon . daphne lived at 13 amiklon . there is no way that was a coincidence . robert : no . this sounds much more like a trap . dante : i 'm with robert again . we ca n't risk going back there . lulu : there 's no other way for us to get answers . robert : well , maybe there is . allow me . [ scene_break ] jordan : answer the question , franco . what the hell are you doing in here ? franco : i 'm trying to save someone 's life . that 's what i 'm doing here . doctor , do you have a minute ? i 'd like a word . jordan : uh , excuse me ! franco : please , thank you . elizabeth is in surgery . she has a super rare blood type , okay ? gh is in danger of running low . coincidentally , hayden has the same blood type . you with me so far ? finn : yes , that was surprisingly easy to follow . what do you need from me ? franco : well , you 're a doctor . finn : last time i checked . franco : well , i need you to check the patient records and make sure that hayden is , in fact , a match . finn : just out of curiosity , how did you come across this information ? franco : this has got nothing to do with me . it 's like the first time in my life i 've ever said that . i -- look , elizabeth is in or right now , and if she runs out of blood we might run out of time . finn : okay . i 'm on it . let me make a call . jordan : okay , franco , uh , you have clearly broken some regulations , if not the law itself , by secretly confronting a prisoner . franco : i would n't call it a confrontation . hayden : you literally demanded my blood . franco : not all of it . curtis : besides , hayden ai n't gon na be a prisoner much longer . hayden : what ? what are you talking about ? did you find something to clear me ? what is it ? paul : what the hell is going on ? why is the prisoner in the middle of what appears to be a three - ring circus ? jordan : well , something has come up . there 's some evidence that proves that ms. barnes did not push elizabeth down that stairwell . paul : and what evidence would that be ? jordan : this . paul : this is a picture of a pair of shoes . jordan : a man 's shoes and man 's legs . paul : commissioner , i know i told you to keep me posted , but i did n't mean for you to bother me every time some nutjob loses the tin foil lining of his hat and -- and shows you some random picture . curtis : well , it ai n't so random . paul : excuse me ? curtis : see , doc finn and i were at the hospital . we happened to be present when they returned ms. webber 's personal effects . we went through them . we went through the phone , and that 's where we got that photo . paul : again , of a pair of shoes . curtis : right , yeah . i used the geolocator to confirm that the photo was taken at hospital during the time that she was pushed . not wanting to compromise the chain of evidence , doc finn and myself , we brought immediately to commissioner ashford . jordan : and i got to say , so far it looks pretty authentic . franco : it 's definitely elizabeth 's phone . hayden : see , i told you . i told you i did n't do it , and now here 's proof ! paul : all right , everybody stop ! the chain of custody with this phone is problematic , to say the least . just because it looks like elizabeth webber 's phone does n't mean that it is . franco : well , let 's go ask elizabeth . paul : this photo is far from conclusive , and it changes nothing . hayden : but i did n't do it ! paul : now , take her back to her cell now . franco : no , no , no . she 's not going anywhere but the hospital to give blood . paul : the prisoner is not going anywhere ! [ scene_break ] griffin : i believe in forgiveness . it does n't make me immune to anger . sonny : duke 's death should make you angry -- at julian . griffin : not alexis ? sonny : look , she -- she made a mistake . she 's paid for it . she 's been humiliated . she lost her job . she thought she was gon na die in the hands of a man who swore he loved her . griffin : you 're saying she deserves compassion . sonny : no , i 'm not saying -- look , who am i to judge ? i have n't lived a blameless life . griffin : neither have i . sonny : neither did your father . he made his share of mistakes , but he learned from them , and that 's rare . people usually repeat themselves -- liars lie , thieves steal , and cheaters find someone new to cheat with . but let me tell you something about your father -- he went back to the mob to protect anna , and when he figured out that he was losing her , he was ready to walk away . griffin : yeah . anna told me that they were supposed to leave port charles together the night he died . sonny : the point is he was going down a bad road , and he changed directions , because he wanted to be a better man . and that 's what alexis is trying to do . i know your father . he would have given alexis the benefit of the doubt , and that 's what i 'm hoping you do . [ scene_break ] nelle : is everything okay ? morgan : yeah . yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . it will be , i just -- my boss is pretty pissed at me , at the moment . nelle : yeah , well , bosses can really suck sometimes . morgan : no , no . no , not aaron . no , he 's very , very nice , like , the nicest guy . like , if i was my boss , i would probably fire me , but aaron -- he 's not -- he 's not -- i mean , it really does n't -- i - i serve coffee . i do n't cure cancer , you know ?

[ scene_break ] robert : yeah , i 'd like you to send me a complete copy of the report . e - mail it -- i want to take a look at it . that 's it . yeah . thanks . lulu : well , were you able to find out anything about daphne ? robert : well , after everything went down on the island , the wsb did a complete sweep -- top to bottom , the who shebang , including that address -- 13 amiklon . i 'm sorry , sweetheart , but , um , that place has been abandoned for years . lulu : that 's impossible . we were just there . dante : we never saw the house . daphne just told us she lived there . robert : which brings me to the second part of the inquiry -- there 's no trace of anyone named `` daphne `` anywhere on the island .

paul hornsby hastily tells jordan the cops need to convict and put hayden away for the the attempted murder of elizabeth and close the case although she is less `` convinced `` than he 'd like her to be that they 've found the correct suspect . meanwhile , curtis and finn are able to access elizabeth 's phone and prove that she turned it on right before she fell and there was a photo of a man , which is confirmed on the gps at the exact time and place where it happened , which confirms the man wearing clearly visible and identifiable shoes , pushed her . they present the evidence to jordan who , at first , does not want to listen and believes that hayden is their correct suspect . however , they show her the picture of the shoes and prove to her that there is evidence that hayden did not push elizabeth . with that , she concludes hayden should be acquitted and set free . paul finds that out and is clearly horrified that this is happening . jordan wonders why he wants to falsely accuse and convict an innocent person when the real suspect could still be out there , yet he is not about to answer that question to her . he is further horrified that they 've identified these `` familiar shoes `` and that the case is still open . meanwhile , franco is able to convince hayden to donate blood in order to save elizabeth 's life , reminding her that she 's going to be convicted of murder and saving elizabeth 's life might help her case . yet she finds it very odd that franco would have any way of knowing that she and elizabeth would share the very same extremely rare blood type . also , as soon as she finds out the charges have been dropped against her , she realizes she has not `` incentive `` to save elizabeth 's life . she tells franco she will donate the blood under the condition that he `` does something `` for her . morgan is appearing very depressed and discouraged and exhibiting his complete lack of self - worth . carly is concerned about his moods and what might have happened . yet nobody has a clue what could be causing this since he knows he 's taking , what he believes are the proper meds . only shortly thereafter , he talks to nelle about her ambition to be a teacher , and suddenly decides to enroll full time in school . carly finds this sudden `` 180 `` in him very odd and a cause for concern . sonny meets with griffin about their mutual need to bring duke 's killer to justice . robert talks to lulu and dante about the mystery of what might have happened to her embryos and how it could relate to helena 's `` award `` to lulu , in her will . lulu seems to know there is something that needs to be investigated by the wsb that could unravel a mystery they need to get to the bottom of .

[ scene_break ] jerry : trevor lansing is n't only ric lansing 's father , he 's also the mouthpiece for anthony zacchara -- that man you spoke of . sam : i spoke to trevor today ; he does n't seem like any gangster i 've ever met . jerry : is n't that charming ? i mean , i 'm sure you happily filled him in on the workings of sonny corinthos and his team . sam : no , of course not . we were talking about my little sister molly , who happens to be trevor 's granddaughter . jerry : yes , well , i realize that it 's a little incestuous , but trevor works for zacchara , and anthony zacchara , the mob boss , is moving in on port charles . sam : all right , well , even if it 's true , why do you care ? jerry : well , you see , anthony zacchara has a reputation of targeting families , and since sonny and jax share the same one , i took the appropriate measures to make sure that my brother 's safe . zacchara needs information , and trevor 's here to get it . sam : well , he 's not going to get anything from me . jerry : oh , come on , sam , wake up . trevor thrives on power and he 's attracted to women who are addicted to the same . he wants information from you . so why do n't you let him think that he 's getting what he wants -- sam : oh -- jerry : and then turn the tables on him . sam : you 're serious ? you want me to sleep with my sister 's grandfather ? jerry : oh , come on , darling , you can do that in your sleep -- no pun intended . just get the man to take you up to his hotel room . shove your cleavage in his face and get him to talk . sam : whew . jerry : we need something to use against zacchara . sam : fine . even if i were to consider this ridiculous , disgusting plan of yours , what 's in it for me ? jerry : revenge . [ scene_break ] lucky : what do we know ? mac : the victim was strangled with a phone cord . we dusted for prints . she was alone , no one saw anything . det . rodriguez : she was doa . carly and jason morgan tried to give her cpr , but it was too late . lucky : are carly and jason being questioned at the pcpd ? mac : i let jason take carly to sonny 's . lucky : ahem -- because he 's such a standup guy ? why does morgan always get special treatment ? jason : carly already told mac everything she knows . lucky : that 's good , now it 's your turn . [ scene_break ] jerry : you sleep with trevor , get him to spill his guts about anthony zacchara , and guess who 's going to want to know everything he told you . sam : gee , i do n't know -- is this where i 'm supposed to say `` jason and sonny `` ? jerry : how lovely would that be to possess information jason would kill for , made lovelier still by knowing how you obtained such information ? sam : been there , done that , thanks . jerry : oh , come on , do n't be difficult . everyone knows jason held all the power in your relationship . you would jump through hoops to make him happy . once you stopped jumping and you started questioning him , he shut you out of his life . now , how wonderful would it be to turn the tables on him ? to have something that he wants and make him beg for it ? come on . sam : if all you wanted was secrets out of trevor , why did n't you just hire yourself a hooker or something ? jerry : no , no , no , trevor 's way too smart for that . come on ! you , on the other hand , can bring up any name without raising trevor 's suspicion because you 've slept with all of them . besides , trevor will be all tingly at the thought of seducing sonny corinthos and jason morgan 's mutual ex - bedwarmer . maxie : so , now is definitely a bad time ? sam : no , jerry was just leaving . bye . jerry : bye . think of a strategy . we do n't have much time . maxie : what could you possibly be working on with that psychopath ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : this news about leticia -- i just -- i had to run upstairs and hug my boys . emily : no , i get it . you ca n't help but worry about them . elizabeth : sit down . there is this mobster from new york city , anthony zacchara . supposedly , he 's going up against jason and sonny . sam said he likes to target people closest to his enemies . what if this zacchara killed leticia just because she watches sonny 's kids ? emily : on , no , you ca n't jump to conclusions like that . elizabeth : okay , but it 's public knowledge that jason jumped bail to find jake -- what if that makes him a target ? emily : look , if it 'll help you sleep at night , jason can put some men outside of your home . elizabeth : no , no . no , lucky will protect us . god , i just feel so bad for sonny and carly . i mean , even with all the precautions they take , it must be terrifying knowing that their children are always vulnerable , simply because of who their father is . [ scene_break ] jason : leticia was packing up the boys ' stuff because they were going to stay at their father 's . carly and i stopped by to give her a ride , and i thought i saw something as we approached the house . det . rodriguez : what was it ? jason : i do n't know -- a shadow , some type of movement . i stopped to take a look and sent carly inside -- that 's when she found leticia . lucky : so you did n't see anything out there ? jason : no . mac : what 'd you see when you came in the living room ? jason : uh -- leticia was on the ground right over there with the phone cord wrapped around her neck , no pulse . i told carly to call 911 . mac : who removed the cord from her neck ? jason : i think carly might 've . lucky : how was their relationship ? jason : what 's that supposed to mean ? lucky : was there any disagreements carly and leticia might 've had recently ? jason : huh . okay , listen , carly was with me this evening . she did n't kill leticia . mac : did leticia have any enemies , anyone that might 've done something like this ? jason : ask trevor lansing . [ scene_break ] ric : i thought you would 've taken the hint and left . trevor : how have you remained district attorney of port charles with your level of hysteria ? ric : you know what , dad ? i know that you work for anthony zacchara , that you represent him , and i know that zacchara wants to take over this city . your boss sent a very clear message tonight to sonny . i mean , what better way to do it than to kill the woman who 's in charge of taking care of his kids ? it 's pretty clear that his kids would be next . [ trevor chuckles ] trevor : if you were to ever bring charges like that against mr. zacchara , his attorney -- whoever he is -- would laugh you out of court . ric : ah , come on , dad , we both know who mr. zacchara 's attorney is . trevor : so why do n't you just think for a minute like a lansing ? ask yourself , who in this ridiculous town would have reason to kill that poor woman ? [ scene_break ] sonny : carly ? i tell you , i do n't -- i do n't know how i 'm going to break this to the boys , either . i mean , it 's like -- it 's hard for me to deal with this myself . carly : i know . [ sonny sighs ] sonny : it never occurred to me that leticia was in -- was in any kind of danger . i mean , i was -- i was so wrapped up in -- in michael and morgan and you , jax , jason , that i -- i was oblivious to her safety . i mean -- leticia never signed on for this . all she did -- and you know this -- was nurture and protect our kids from day one . carly : i know , i know . sonny : what was i thinking , leaving her in that -- carly : sonny -- sonny : leaving her in that house by herself ? if you want to blame anybody -- and i 'm telling you this right now -- you got to blame me , because i am the one that anthony zacchara is after . carly : no , sonny . sonny : i chose this life , and i dragged you all into it . carly : i want you to stop it , okay ? you stop it , because there 's no blame here , i do n't blame you . i do n't blame you . but right now we got to worry about michael and morgan , and i ca n't do that without you . sonny : you got me . [ scene_break ] maxie : they said to put a rush on these . no offense -- because they are cute -- but do n't you think they 're a little revealing for national television ? sam : yeah , you know , they 're actually for my own personal use , not the show . maxie : oh . so what was jerry doing here , and what on earth could you two possibly be arguing about ? sam : revenge -- yeah , jerry has some strange ways of getting it . maxie : well , that would make sense after what he did at the metro court . you have to not admire him , exactly , but it is kind of impressive . i mean , he held all of us hostage , blew up a building , and then got away with it by claiming it was a case of mistaken identity -- it 's the ultimate scam . sam : yeah . maxie : and even though he is lethal and completely psychotic , i bet he knows a lot about revenge . sam : sure , but you know what ? it does n't matter , because when i get revenge , it 's going to be on my terms , not jerry 's . [ scene_break ] emily : thanks for making dinner . nikolas : yeah . elizabeth : thanks for staying . maybe next week , we can actually do this with all four of us . nikolas : again , please tell lucky i 'm sorry about the mix - up and to call me tomorrow , because i still want him to come by and see the new office . elizabeth : i 'll tell him . emily : listen , i still do n't feel right leaving you here alone . what happened with leticia has made me really nervous . elizabeth : we 're going to be fine . emily : we 'll stay if you want us to . elizabeth : no . no , you guys go back to spencer . lucky will be home soon . nikolas : all right . elizabeth : okay ? nikolas : we 'll see you . elizabeth : it 'll be fine . thanks for coming . emily : bye . elizabeth : bye , honey . emily : bye . elizabeth : see you later . emily : bye . [ scene_break ] jason : trevor lansing is ric 's father . he 's chief attorney for anthony zacchara . mac : the new york mob boss ? jason : yeah . and trevor claims that he 's here to visit his son , his old friend kate howard , but we know that he 's scouting port charles for zacchara . lucky : well , even if zacchara was to move here , how does that equate with a dead nanny ? jason : because zacchara has a history of coming at his rivals by terrorizing their families . mac : look , i assume sonny 's got guards protecting his family -- i 'll cover him with some police details . jason : thank you . mac : is there anyone you want protected ? jason : no , no one . lucky : what about sam ? [ scene_break ] carly : uh -- well , we have some very sad news . leticia died . and i want you guys to know that she loved you both very , very much . and we 're going to miss her more than i can say . michael : how -- how did she die ? sonny : she -- uh -- she -- she -- she went to heaven to be with the angels . and i know that 's difficult to understand , but it means that we -- we 're just going to have to love each other a lot more now . carly : and -- and you know what ? it -- it 's going to be sad . it is , it 's going to be sad for a little while . but you have to know that leticia is -- is with you , and you 're going to feel her with you , okay ? will you come with me so we can go say a prayer for leticia ? can we ? yeah ? michael : morgan 's a baby . i -- i 'm not . sonny : leticia was killed , michael . it looks like it might 've been one of my enemies . michael : you have to kill them , dad . i loved leticia . you have to make them pay for killing her . sonny : that 's not the answer , michael . michael : i do n't care . you ca n't let them get away with this . sonny : enough ! leticia loved you very much . she would n't want you to grow up to be the kind of person who would want revenge . michael : they have to pay for killing her . sonny : it 's not going to bring her back , michael . it 's not going to make you feel better . revenge only puts a hole in your heart , and it hurts your soul . michael : it 's not fair . it 's not fair . sonny : it 's okay , buddy . carly : hey . sonny : okay , buddy . [ scene_break ] [ gun cocks ] [ scene_break ] jerry : whoever you are , you 're very good . jax : yeah -- i 'm even better when my life is being threatened . jerry : what the hell , jax ? jax : the rental car that was waiting for me -- the one that i was supposed to drive to meet zacchara -- kind of blew up on me . jerry : well , first clue , brother -- this is n't a corporate raid or a crooked politician . zacchara is a lethal adversary , and you 're way out of your league trying to confront him one - on - one . jax : you know , i would like to know where the hell you were when i was almost being blown to bits . because i sent marty up here to look for you . he said that you disappeared -- it 's funny how that goes .

[ scene_break ] scott : you can make all the threats you want , but it 's not going to save your son . he murdered my son . he will get a lethal injection for that . anthony : said the man with no moral compass . scott : why do n't you drop dead ? anthony : the only one who believed that crap about logan being a cop was that moron of a judge . you forged those documents for the sole purpose of upgrading the charges against my son so he 'd face the death penalty , but i try to always look on the positive side . in a way , you did me a favor . i 'm not exactly awash in morals and ethics myself , and , because of what you did , the gloves can come off now . mr. baldwin , i can and i will save john by any means necessary . and if that means your sweet little serena gets caught in the crossfire , you 'll have only yourself to blame . scott : ah , stop flappin ' your dentures . my daughter is safely out of your reach . anthony : 22 rue de felice . paris , france . and serena lives alone . who knows what could happen to a beautiful young girl all by herself in that big city . let 's go . think about it , mr. baldwin . i 'm sure you 'll come to see things my way .

[ scene_break ] lulu : i mean , i could end this whole farce of trial in a second . all i have to do is walk in the courtroom and tell everyone what really happened . that i killed logan , not johnny . laura : i -- i hate to tell you this , but you 're credibility has been seriously damaged just by virtue of having been in here . but -- you know , there 's another way to look at this . lulu : how ? laura : through johnny 's eyes . now i have n't met the guy yet , but from what you 've told me , he sounds an awful lot like luke . complete with a rescue complex . and i know how romantic and intoxicating that can be , but it can also get you into some pretty difficult situations , like the one you 're in . i do n't know if you want to hear this or not -- lulu : no , tell me . laura : uh , okay , um -- i 'm not saying that being involved with a man like this means that you have to lie on the railroad tracks and wait for him to come and cut you loose . but i do think that at some point you have to learn to respect their choices about how to deal with the consequences . you know , from what you 've told me , johnny created this situation , right , about taking the blame for logan 's death and standing trial , right ? honey , if he is anything like your father , i 'll bet the guy 's got a plan . lulu : is this how you really feel or are you just trying to prevent me from turning myself in ? laura : i 'm not going to lie to you ; i do n't want you to turn yourself in . but i am telling you the truth of my own experience of what it was like to love a man like this . and you can either take the information and apply it or not . i will support you . lulu : i think you are . i just -- i need to think . laura : yeah , i 'll leave you to that . lulu : thank you , though , for trying to help me . laura : okay , all right . nikolas : lulu , get what you need to travel . lulu : what ? nikolas : i 'm taking you out of the country tonight . lulu : i 'm not going anywhere .

[ scene_break ] lulu : you know what is getting lost here , mom ? is that i did this . i killed logan , self - defense or not . so , i need to be taking responsibility for his death , for the jailbreak , for the cover - up , for all of it , because i 'm the one who set everything into motion . laura : not for the cover - up . that was johnny 's idea . lulu : okay , johnny was trying to protect me , but unless i tell the truth , this nightmare is not going to end . laura : your truth and the truth as it appears in the eyes of the law are two different things . lulu : so i should just run off with nikolas and -- and leave johnny to whatever scott baldwin decides ? laura : okay , look . it -- let 's try to boil this down a little bit . do you think johnny is of sound mind ? lulu : yes . laura : is he a smart guy ? lulu : yeah of -- of course . laura : and you respect him , you trust him ? lulu : absolutely . laura : okay , what do you think he would want you to do in this situation , lulu ? oh , come on . you know the answer as well as i do . he 'd want you to leave the country with your brother . the man is trying to protect you . let him .

[ scene_break ] scott : so , let 's get back to this bet . logan was supposed to seduce lulu , dump her , then get the grand prize -- you . maxie : that 's right . scott : well , how did you actually know that he was going to consummate the whole thing , so to speak ? maxie : part of the deal was i had to watch it happen . scott : oh no , you actually had to watch with your own eyes ? maxie : i did n't actually watch it happen . the night i hid out in logan 's apartment nothing went on . scott : this is all fascinating . you know , i could go on talking about this for hours and hours . however , i do n't want to bore the jury with all of these smutty details . ric : objection , your honor . i mean , really . judge : move on , mr. baldwin . scott : after you found out that the bet had been won , how did lulu find out ? maxie : logan was stalling . he -- he did n't want to break up with lulu . so , after they moved in together , i went over to their apartment and i told her . scott : well , she must not have been very happy about that . maxie : she was crushed as any girl would be who made the mistake of putting their trust in a pig like logan . scott : so , did you solicit a second go - around of sex with this `` pig `` ? maxie : yes . scott : what happened ? maxie : he turned me down . scott : he rejected you . maxie : that 's what i said . scott : well , you -- you must have been very , very unhappy , mad as a hornet , huh ? maxie : logan always made me mad . you know why ? because he was a messed up , bullying , self - entitled creep who always resorted to violence when he could n't get what he wanted . and the only person here who 's surprised that your son got himself killed , mr. baldwin , is you . [ scene_break ] nadine : here you go . there 's cream and sugar on the table . nikolas : sorry to keep you waiting . nadine : can i talk to you for just a second ? okay , what 's going on ? who are those vaguely disturbing men ? is this something to do with the counterfeit drug ring ? nikolas : not , it 's -- slow down , for a minute , okay ? they 're cassadine lawyers . i 've arranged to get lulu out of the country . i asked them be here in case baldwin was monitoring traffic to and from wyndemere 's . is that satisfactory enough for you ? nadine : not really . it sounds like you 're headed for a heap of trouble . nikolas : i do n't care . i 'll do whatever it takes to protect my sister . [ scene_break ] sasha : is there a reason why we could n't meet in my office or at the metro court where we could have at least had a drink ? jerry : i would have loved that , darling , but , you see , i need to keep an eye on this alley . we use to move packages and lately people associated with nikolas cassadine have been snooping around . sasha : i do n't like the sound of that . jerry : i do n't either . it further confirms that someone in sir nikolas ' clinic is on the trail of counterfeit drugs and is getting uncomfortably close . sasha : you told karpov that you 'd handle it . jerry : and i have . i 'm just waiting for the right time to ignite the situation , so to speak . sasha : i 'll tell you what time it is . now . whatever you 're doing , hurry up and do it . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , you were terrific . lucky : yeah , i just wanted to punch that guy in the face . sam : well , i 'm glad you did n't . i know it was hard , but i think he totally bought it . lucky : no , no , what if you 're wrong . let 's not forget who we 're dealing with here . if jerry is involved in this counterfeit drug ring as much as you think he is and he feels threatened by you , he wo n't hesitate to take you out . [ scene_break ] nikolas : well , thank you , gentleman . i expect those documents waiting on the plane . nadine : another word ? nikolas : i really do n't have time right now . nadine : you have two choices . either make time to hear me out or make a huge mistake . look , i realize this is a sensitive subject for you . you 've been acting out your grief for emily for so long it 's just second nature , but you ca n't just issue a royal decree and have lulu removed from the country without asking her first . this has to be her decision . nadine : how would you like someone to move you all the way to switzerland when you did n't want to go ? nikolas : now is not the time for homespun common sense . nadine : you know , you 're not the only one with a sister in the hospital . nikolas : my situation is entirely different , trust me . nadine : yeah , you 're right . i have to make all the important decisions for my sister because she 's in a coma , but lulu 's awake . she 's coherent . nikolas : but she 's not thinking clearly right now . nadine : yeah , neither are you . you have no right to control lulu 's whole life just because you need to feel like keeping her safe . [ scene_break ] robin : this is all just hormones , right , what 's making me so ridiculous and contrary ? it will all pass once the baby comes ? elizabeth : i do n't know . maybe you 're just ambivalent to marriage , and there 's nothing wrong with that . i mean , making a lifetime commitment to one person in a world that seems so transitory is kind of a scary thing . i mean , what if it does n't work out ? why make that big of an emotional risk if you 're not absolutely sure ? robin : but you ca n't be absolutely sure about anything . elizabeth : that 's my point exactly . robin : okay . here is what i know for sure . i love patrick . patrick loves me enough to put his heart on the line and offer me his future . i mean , he 's the one that 's been brave in this situation . he 's stepped up , and i have n't even met him halfway . i just keep dodging and weaving and acting like a silly little teenager . and you know what the worst part is ? i think i really hurt him . sam : i know exactly how to handle jerry , and i 'm going to just use that to my advantage . lucky : what 's that ? sam : well , he happens to have a thing for me . lucky : is that supposed to be encouraging ? sam : listen to me . jerry may be ruthless , but he has a weakness just like every other man . jerry 's happens to be his ego . i mean , he thinks that he can turn on the charm with any woman and get anyone he wants . and guess what i 'm going to do ? i 'm going to play him and i 'm going work him and i am going to hopefully get all the evidence that i need to find the connection between jerry , karpov , and the counterfeit drugs . ding - ding . lucky : if by playing means faking your romance with jerry , he 's too dangerous , and i 'm not okay with that . [ scene_break ] patrick : as i told you before , you need another mri , a ct scan , and 48 hours of observation . if you leave now , the intracranial bleed could kill you . claudia : i can handle the risk . sign me out , please . you wo n't regret it . patrick : this is -- it 's not what it looks like . robin : i know exactly what 's going on here . [ scene_break ] ric : ms. jones , describe , if you would , logan hayes ' demeanor on the day and the night of his death ? maxie : out of control . ric : you witnessed this first hand ? maxie : twice . ric : tell the jury about the first time . maxie : earlier that day i ran into logan on the docks . he was with a doctor , matt hunter , and i just warned matt to be careful who he dealt with . logan went off on me . ric : can you be more specific ? maxie : he got in my face , started calling me names and blaming me for the mess he 'd made of his life . ric : and the second time ? maxie : it was at the `` crimson `` offices . that 's a magazine where i work with lulu . logan showed up there desperate to win lulu back . so , he was furious when she turned him down . i threatened to call security and he left , but he was really angry . ric : would you say that logan was looking for trouble ? scott : objection , your honor . that is leading the witness . it calls for speculation . ric : withdrawn , your honor . thank you , ms. jones . no further questions . judge : the witness is excused . scott : subject to recall . judge : so noted . spinelli : maximista , wait . [ scene_break ] jason : excuse me . i 'm looking for lulu . she 's not in her room . doctor : lulu 's gone . jason : what do you mean `` gone `` ? doctor : an assistant d.a . and a cop showed up with a court order and took her away . [ scene_break ] judge : is the defense ready to present its case ? ric : ready , your honor . scott : your honor , the prosecution has n't rested . ric : well , your witness list ended with maxie jones . scott : well , my witness has been unavailable . ric : i -- i 'm sorry . i have to object , your honor . the defense has n't had any proper time to prepare for this mystery witness . judge : i do n't like surprises in my courtroom , mr. baldwin . scott : i understand , your honor , but this witnesses ' testimony is very relevant . judge : we 'll proceed with caution . after the witness has testified , if you need extra time to prepare your cross , i 'll allow it . call your witness . scott : the prosecution calls lesley lulu spencer . johnny : you 've got to stop this .

[ scene_break ] claire : i wonder why sonny would really come back . diane : look , this is by no means an admission that my client actually went anywhere , but if hypothetically speaking he had , i 'm sure he came back because he realized that what he would gain was n't worth what he 'd lose by staying away .

[ baby crying ] sam : this is n't my baby . elizabeth : sam said she put the baby in a planter box , right ? and that 's where you found him . jason : there 's just too many discrepancies -- the blood type , hemophilia . why did n't it show up on the prenatal scans ? and -- and what about the lungs ? he seemed fine when he was born . elizabeth : you were n't there when he was born . you -- you do n't know how he was breathing . obviously , sam felt there was something wrong . that 's why she went to go get help , right ? jason : yes , i understand that , but sam and mcbain both said when the baby was first born , he was strong and healthy and breathing normally and crying out loudly . how can you do that if your lungs are n't developed ? elizabeth : you 're jumping to conclusions . jason : something does not add up . sam was careful with prenatal care . she had screenings and ultrasounds , and every one showed that the baby was healthy , just like the baby she had in the motel -- not a baby whose lungs did not develop . elizabeth : so , what 's your explanation ? jason : i do n't -- i do n't have one . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jason : [ groans ] but i know there is a time that i can not account for -- when sam was passed out in the garden shed on the floor . something could have happened . elizabeth : like someone with a dead infant was wandering around and found sam 's and switched the babies ? come on , jason . what are the odds of that ? jason : i do n't know the odds , elizabeth , but based on this file , it 's possible that the baby that i put in sam 's arms that night was not her baby . elizabeth : i am so sorry to say this , but , jason , i think you 're in denial .

[ chuckles ] ah , geez . felix : they got meds for that . brad : i thought you were n't speaking to me . felix : that was my stated intention , my fervent wish , but i could n't keep silent anymore . brad : about what ? felix : how you would n't step up for your own kid . brad : [ scoffs ] britt : oh , my god . nikolas : what ? what is it ? britt : something 's wrong with him . sabrina : what ? what do you mean ? britt : he 's pale and his nares are flaring . his breathing 's shallow . it 's labored . what did you do to him ? headache specialist . sam : with everything that 's been going on with danny , we have n't talked about kiki . silas : well , there 's not really a lot to talk about . sam : you just found out that you had a -- a daughter . that 's life - changing . silas : i 'm trying not to get ahead of myself , sam . look , i 've had exactly one conversation with kiki , and she asked me to give her some time . you know , i ... i do n't even know if she wants to have a relationship with me or not . sam : okay . but listen , hello . what do you want ? silas : it 'd be nice for rafe to have a cousin , right ? i mean , he does n't have too much family . sam : yeah , rafe 's a great kid . i 'm sure he would love to have a cousin , but that 's not what i was asking . what about you ? silas : i 'll tell you what -- if kiki ever gets back to me , i 'll let you know . sam : kiki just found out that she had a father . that is a lot to process , and i 'm sure that she 's in shock . i mean , i 'm certainly in some sort of a shock finding out that you have a daughter with ava jerome . silas : any typical reason you 're in some sort of shock ? sam : [ chuckles ] well , i do n't know . i mean , it seems to me that ... ava has some , you know , a different type . after all , she is the same woman who wanted to get back with franco . tracy : all the charges were dropped ? the murders , the kidnappings , the rapes ? franco : there were no rapes . tracy : well , be that as it may , i still find it very hard to believe that even the formidable diane miller got all the charges dropped . franco : well , then you underestimate the formidable ms . miller . think of all the blatantly guilty crimes she 's managed to exonerate . tracy : present company included ? franco : oh , no , no . in my case , she just told the truth . the tumor made me do it . ava : oh , come on . you were not suffering from any tumor when you showed up in a homemade rappelling harness and started graffiti'ing a bank wall . you were always impulsive , mercurial , borderline obsessive . franco : i like to look at it like i saw things my own way . yeah , i was eccentric , some might say quirky . ava : obsession with death -- that 's a quirk to you ? franco : i think it 's the only reason you wanted to represent me . you were just as obsessed with money as i was with all things morbid . why are you two so anxious ? do n't i seem more empathetic now that i 've had the tumor removed ? rest assured , okay ? all the naughty was caused by a glioma , and now that i 'm cured , i 'm a new man , or at the least , new and improved . ava : not that i can see . franco : there 's reams of evidence . really . the tumor was the bad guy , not me . tracy : i ca n't believe a judge fell for that . franco : the truth is not so hard to accept , tracy . you should try it sometime . everyone in the courtroom was convinced . well ... almost everyone . kiki : so , my dad -- ugh ! franco ! -- is n't responsible for all of the horrible things that he did ? carly : his attorney argued that the location of his tumor affected his ability to tell right from wrong . from a legal standpoint , he was acting from diminished capacity . he did n't know what he was doing . kiki : so , do you believe that ? carly : the judge did , and i think sonny has a right to know . kiki : wait , wait , wait . you do n't think that sonny would kill franco , do you ? carly : no . is sonny upstairs ? kiki : actually , sonny 's not here . is morgan here ? kiki : no . sonny 's been missing since last night . carly : he left without telling anyone where he was going ? kiki : he left this . carly : `` i 'm sorry . i ca n't do this . goodbye . `` kiki : you do n't think he would actually hurt himself , do you ? carly : he 's bipolar , he 's volatile , and he 's not on his medication . did morgan go look for him ? kiki : yeah . carly : alone ? kiki : no , no , michael went with him , and they were supposed to meet up with dante . and olivia ran out of here . she said she thought she knew where he was , so hopefully they 're all together . carly : together where ? morgan : right here . felix : nikolas cassadine all but begged you to take the britch and that child off his hands , but you refused to step up . brad : so , you want nothing to do with me , but you 're eavesdropping on my private conversations ? felix : i did n't have to eavesdrop . denise was in the hub and she heard the whole thing . she told penny who told epiphany who thinks it 's a disgrace -- brad : okay , okay , flattered though i might be by the interest of my fellow co- workers , you and your whole little game of telephone have got it all wrong . felix : okay . enlighten me , brad . brad : [ sighs ] why do you even care , felix , huh ? you 've written me off . felix : just answer the question -- did you or did you not tell nikolas cassadine that the britch and the baby could fend for themselves ? brad : what i told nikolas was that britt and i had an agreement , and that did n't include raising a baby with her . felix : just when i thought you could n't possibly sink any lower . you know what ? i hope you 're proud of yourself , brad , because whatever happens next to that baby is on you . sabrina : britt , i did n't -- britt : he 's having trouble breathing . sabrina : here . britt : what do you think you 're doing ? sabrina : britt , i can help . britt : help ? you 're the reason my baby 's in trouble . you pretend to be above it but really you got back at me by going after my baby . nikolas : britt , calm down . sabrina did n't do anything . i was right there the whole time . listen , i need you to focus , okay ?

lulu : so much for doing your research . my mother always said that you had no idea how a woman 's body worked . stavros : i do n't believe you . lulu : i only have two embryos in the whole world . one is in port charles , the one that i created with dante , and the other one is right there . you want to really want to try it only to have the pregnancy fail ? do you really want to take that chance ? stavros : we are in a renowned clinic with some of the finest doctors in the world . i will consult with them . but all that will do is delay the inevitable ! you will have my child ! that dream brought me back from the brink of death ! you are my ice princess . i will have you . and i will be back to see this through .

and we really had some spectacular times . ned : yes . i remember vividly the time you did the 50-yard dash down the aisle and out the church while i stood at the altar in front of what felt like half the town of port charles . alexis : yeah , well , thanks for bringing that up . and -- and i 'm sorry . i really am so sorry . and i do n't blame you if you 're still holding a grudge . ned : i am . a little . but in retrospect , i understand . fear of being a quartermaine is a pretty good excuse to run out of a church and flag down a semi . alexis : well , that was n't really the reason i ran -- ned : do you really want to rehash that particular chapter of our lives while you 're asking me out on a date ? alexis : no . ned : good . because it 's in the past . alexis . alexis : ned . ned : i 've always considered you one of the most ... challenging women i have ever met in my life . alexis : i take that as a `` yes . `` so , you want to give it another go ?

i took the rap for julian when he blew away mickey diamond . he would have gone down for murder if it had n't been for me . ava : that 's true . jordan : our employer , whoever he is , he 's an obstacle . he needs to be removed . ava : if only it were that easy . jordan : you and your brother are living in fear because of this guy , and that 's bad for productivity . it 's especially bad for that baby that you 're carrying . let 's make it safe for our kids , ava . tell me who the boss is , and i will bring him down . tj : you know , you sure had a problem with my mom 's career choice before . what ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : the last thing alexis needs to hear right now is that ric and sam slept together . carly : `` slept together `` ? sonny : yeah . carly : call it like it is -- he got her sloppy - drunk and took advantage of her , and i ca n't believe that you 're going to let him get away with it . sonny : but sam believes that if alexis finds out about that night , then , you know , she 's going to push her family away and she 's not going to want to survive . carly : you 're underestimating alexis . sonny : oh , yeah ? carly : then again , you tend to do that with most women . sonny : thank you . carly : look , if alexis finds out the kind of man that ric really is , she 's going to fight tooth and nail to stay alive to protect her daughters . sonny : i promised jason and sam that i 'd keep this quiet . carly : does n't mean ric 's going to keep it quiet ! sonny : i got ric under control . carly : i think you 're wrong . ric is motivated by hate and envy , and under the right circumstances , he will turn against anyone , sonny .

warnings seem to be today 's theme ; alexis advises jax that he should be careful about carly , sonny gives carly the reverse warning , the mayor tells sam to make sure she does not get involved with a man who could endanger her mother 's reputation , and alfred tells colleen to keep her dreams of nik under control or he will see her contract is terminated . carly does nto take the advice , but gives some of her own ; tell alexis the truth about sam and ric . nik confides his worries about liz and lucky to emily . once again , dillon asks lulu to let their baby live . alfred 's heart attack prevents emily and nik from going on a date to the mayor 's party . lucky again promises maxie he will leave liz soon . she is not pleased that soon is not now , and goes to talk to liz . sam tells ric to never touch her again .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : oh . i -- i do n't understand why you 're making such a big deal out of this . lucky and i were supposed to connect at the hotel , it did n't happen , end of story . that 's -- emily : but apparently , you just took off . i would think that you would jump at the chance to try help your brother through such a difficult time . nikolas : emily , i was in the lobby , my -- my cell phone rang , okay ? you know how i like to pace when i talk on the phone . i wandered outside , walked across the park , and when i got back , he had already been there and gone . that 's it . emily : you never said anything about the park . is there something that you 're not telling me ? nikolas : no . emily : nikolas , i know you , and something 's going on . nikolas : hmm . emily : i think i know what it is . [ scene_break ] ric : how do i make you understand this ? see , i 'm the d.a . , you 're an international psycho . i do n't have to account for my whereabouts , you do . jerry : but holding me in here for questioning -- it 's a bit of a stretch , even for you . there 's no earthly reason why i would want to kill jax and carly 's perfectly lovely nanny . you , on the other hand , are another story . you harbor such a hatred for your brother and have such an unearthly fixation to see him either locked up for the rest of his life or better off dead . now that your `` estranged but controlling `` father has reared up his head , the d.a . is under pressure . it would n't be the first time that you 've snapped or done something unbecoming of an officer of the court . ric : so are you suggesting that i killed leticia ? jerry : i do n't know . does the shoe fit ? [ scene_break ] jax : where the hell is my family ? sonny : they 're safe -- that 's all you need to know , jax . jax : well , excuse me if i 'm not comforted , because your so - called protection did n't do a lot for leticia , did it ? sonny : that 's never going to happen again , jax . jax : you do n't know that . and you 're way out of line because carly 's my wife . she 's not your personal property that you can move around whenever you feel like it . sonny : i understand she 's your wife , but she 's my boys ' mother , they 're in her care , which gives me the right to do whatever the hell i need to do to keep them safe ! jax : yeah , from the danger that you constantly bring down on them -- that 's real big of you , sonny . but guess what -- carly and the boys are n't yours to protect anymore . sonny : you make -- you make carly sound like a pawn on a chessboard . you know better than anybody else that she does n't go where she does n't want to go . jax : oh . sonny : and just -- and just for the record , i 'm not the one who almost got carly killed going after my deranged brother . jax : do you have any idea how tired i am of having my life shadowed by the constant violence that surrounds yours ? i ought to kill you myself and get it over with . sonny : go ahead , then ! do it ! come on ! okay . this is -- this is not working , okay ? can we just be civil for five seconds here ? can we ? jax : fine , we can try . sonny : i 'm not questioning your good intentions . i 'm -- you know , i know you love carly . jax : and the boys . sonny : okay , i -- i know you 're sincere and you -- and you 're worried about them , and you are right about one thing . leticia died because of me and what i do and the people i deal with , which makes me the best person to deal with the situation . jax : where are they , sonny ? sonny : jason took them to the island . feel free to go there , put a positive spin on it , treat it like a vacation if you want . jax : no , i have a better idea . i 'll pick up carly and the boys and take them to australia . sonny : okay , okay -- you 're not getting it , jax . i 'm not the enemy here , but the enemy is watching and -- and the smallest mistake will come back to haunt us . are you so confident that you 're willing to risk being the one that makes that mistake ? [ scene_break ] kate : trevor ? i 'm sorry it took so long . trevor : yeah , well , since when did you start taking your own sweet time when i make an urgent call to you ? kate : oh , i 'm sorry . would you like me to hit my driver on the nose next time he takes too long ? there 's really only so much he can do in a traffic jam . trevor : all right , i apologize . but sonny 's au pair girl was strangled to death and left on his ex - wife 's living room floor . kate : yes , i heard . it 's unspeakable . trevor : since you seem to be so up on current affairs , was that traffic jam from the hotel to sonny 's house ? kate : what is your point , trevor ? trevor : well , did sonny -- kate : did sonny what ? trevor : is sonny trying to make a point and blame me for the murder of his au pair ? kate : sonny believes that you represent anthony zacchara . that 's who he believes i responsible for leticia 's murder . trevor : ah . so sonny thinks that i facilitated the murder . kate : did you ? trevor : well , at this point , would you believe me if i told you no ? [ scene_break ] ric : yeah , i do n't have to murder an innocent woman to bring sonny to justice . jerry : oh , i do n't know . maybe you just want to make him nervous , afraid for his family , distract him , make him look in other directions like anthony zacchara , giving you enough room to sneak up and make your move . ric : you know , i brought you in as a formality . i mean , given your reputation , you 're a natural suspect in any crime in this town , so you 're going to have to get used to that . however , given your level of defensiveness and your attempt to turn this back on me , i 'm starting to wonder how much you really do know about this murder that you 're not saying . alexis : you do know that you 're violating my client 's rights without benefit of counsel . what murder ? jerry : oh , sonny and carly 's nanny . alexis : leticia ? ric : yes . alexis : leticia was murdered ? ric : yes , murdered right in carly 's living room , strangled to death . so you better hope that your client here is guilty because if jerry is n't the killer , then kristina 's in danger from somebody even more insidious . [ scene_break ] emily : it would explain a lot -- huh -- your recent mood swings , your secretive behavior . nikolas : emily , you -- you know i 'm a private person , i 've always been moody , both of which i come by honestly , so what -- what are you driving at here ? i do n't -- emily : you 're still after jerry . nikolas : yeah , i -- i 've never denied that . emily : oh , my god , nikolas . i have asked you so many times , please let it go . the last thing that we need is another round with jerry jacks . nikolas : i 'm just -- i 'm just a little preoccupied right now , but i can assure you it has nothing to do with jerry jacks and everything to do with you and how much i love you , okay ? emily : okay . okay , if -- if i 'm wrong , then i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i apologize for jumping to conclusions . maybe leticia 's murder just has me a little paranoid lately . i 've known her for years and the thought of her -- nikolas : emily , do n't even think about , okay ? you 're here with me , spencer 's upstairs asleep . everything 's right in our own little world right now , so -- emily : yes . nikolas : why do n't we just be -- why do n't we be a little selfish and enjoy it ? come on . emily : okay , it 's a little hard to just stop thinking about that . okay ? and i 'm really worried about lucky and elizabeth . nikolas : we 've done all we can do for them . i mean , either they will sort out their problems or -- or they wo n't . emily : well , elizabeth says that they might have a chance if sam just leaves them alone . nikolas : sam -- what ? emily : well , according to elizabeth , you know , sam is out to seduce lucky to get back at her for being with jason , and elizabeth 's afraid that lucky 's a pretty easy target for the same reason . nikolas : well , maybe there 's something we can do about that after all . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] sam : okay , obviously i missed something . what happened tonight ? lucky : an innocent woman was murdered , probably no other reason than being connected to jason and sonny . sam : anyone i know ? lucky : carly 's nanny , leticia . um -- yeah . she was found strangled with a telephone cord in carly 's room . sam : that is awful . i mean , it 's -- it 's horrible . who would want to kill her ? lucky : well , since you were known to be jason 's girlfriend , i just , you know , thought i should check on you . sam : well , thank you for caring . i ca n't remember the last time jason actually cared about my safety . you know , it 's -- it 's kind of ironic , actually , because jason ended up being elizabeth 's big hero and you are turning out to be mine . thank you . lucky : yeah . i 'll do whatever i can to keep you safe [ scene_break ] [ noise ] [ footsteps ] elizabeth : is someone there ?

[ voice breaking ] okay , when i think about the possibility of losing you , i ... look at me . sonny , we love you . sonny : yeah , i know . olivia : you ca n't forget that . sonny : no , i do n't . olivia : and if you ever feel something like that coming on again -- sonny : i 'm handling it . i 'm handling it . i 'm handling it . olivia : you 're positive ? you 're positive ? sonny : yes , you want to see ? olivia : yeah . sonny : look . [ sighs ] olivia : okay . sonny : see that ? olivia : okay . okay . i 'm glad . i 'm glad that you 're feeling a little better because we got to talk about a couple of things . [ inhales deeply ] sonny : what 's that ? olivia : [ exhales deeply ] we 're kind of getting down to the wire , and i would really like your input . sonny : what ? olivia : connie 's funeral . monica : you picked up that glass , and you drank it . this is yours , aj aj : put yourself in my position . monica : no , i do n't have to . i 've been there . oh , you think it 's just so intolerable that the only solution is the bottom of the bottle . well , that is n't true , aj the answer is in your heart and in your head . aj : i 'm sorry . monica : you drank until you did n't even know whether or not you had killed somebody , because you could n't remember ! aj : okay , i know ! i screwed up . monica : god , it is not okay , aj aj : i 'm not as strong as you are . monica : oh , bull ! did it ever occur to you what 's going to happen to me or your son ? what is michael gon na do now ? michael : i 'm gon na stand by my dad . that 's what i 'm gon na do . dante : what do you mean we ca n't take her home ? i thought you said she got a clean bill of health . lulu : yes , she did . i 'm sorry . um , she 's totally fine . dante : you 're sure ? lulu : yes , she 's fine . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to scare you . dante : then why ca n't we take you home ? lulu : because we have to give her a name . anna : your mom told me that this is hard for you , you know ? maxie : did she also tell you that they 're sending me to a shrink ? [ sighs ] at least it 's kevin . anna : you know , i wish i 'd had someone to talk to . i mean , our situations are completely different , i know , but when robin was a baby , my life was so complicated , and ... i could n't be with her 'cause i would have put her in danger . maxie : so , you had to leave her behind ? anna : yeah . yeah , i did . she was a very happy baby -- robin . and the woman i left her with was wonderful . every time i had to leave , it was unbearable . maxie : [ sighs ] anna : come here . and this baby -- you were carrying a baby for such a long time , and she was part of you . maxie : [ sniffles ] anna : and now she is n't . maxie : [ sniffles ] i miss her -- her flips and her hiccups . anna : of course you do . it 's natural . maxie : but it has to stop . anna : yeah . it does . maxie : lulu was scared of me . anna : oh . maxie : me . anna : right . maxie : not that i blame her . anna : you 're gon na do better . you will , okay ? maxie : how ? i wish that i was more like robin . she was so strong . [ sniffles ] anna : yeah . she was very brave , was n't she ? and driven ... very smart . smart girl . but , you know , all of that could n't stop her from that postpartum depression she had . remember ? maxie : yeah , that was awful . anna : yeah , it was awful . and then it was n't . because she worked hard , and she had a lot of comfort from her family and from friends . she got through it . and you will , too . maxie : what if i do n't ? anna : maxie , i have known you since you were born . you are every bit as strong as robin was . and she would be the first to say that if she were here . you 're not gon na feel like this forever , okay ? i promise you that . sabrina : nikolas held britt 's hand through the entire delivery , and considering how scary it was for me , i ca n't even imagine what it was like for him . patrick : oh , good . well , i 'm glad he was there . sabrina : yeah , me too . he kept britt from strangling me . who knows ? maybe he 'll even stick around . patrick : what does that mean ? sabrina : well , nikolas and britt seemed pretty close , and i 'm sure after last night , they 're a lot closer . maybe he 'll end up raising that little boy -- with britt , i mean . patrick : like i was supposed to . [ sighs ] sabrina : patrick . patrick : no , i know . i know . it should n't feel wrong . sabrina : but it does . you spent months thinking about that baby , learning to love it . i understand that you ca n't just shut that off . patrick : but ? sabrina : i think you need to start moving past this . nikolas : yeah , the nurse said you might be ... anxious getting started with the , uh -- britt : the breast - feeding . nikolas : right . right . [ chuckles ] but there 's people here to help you with that , right ? uh ... lactating consultants ? britt : i - i wo n't be needing any -- any of them . nikolas : right , of course . you 're around this all the time . you know the drill . britt : no , i wo n't be needing them because i do n't plan on breast - feeding . nikolas : oh , okay . i guess that 's fine , too . look , i do n't -- i do n't even know why i 'm -- i 'm talking about this . i mean , i could fit what i know about the subject inside of a thimble . [ chuckles ] britt : oh , i know -- i know plenty , and breast - feeding is what every doctor would recommend . nutritionally , you ca n't beat it . [ baby fusses ] britt : you ca n't beat it for ... mother / child bonding , either . nikolas : right , well , just out of -- out of curiosity , given all of that , why would n't you want to bond with your son ? that idea of having another child . i wanted another child in my life . sabrina : it 's our life , patrick -- yours and mine . i had to accept it , too , and to say that it was hard is an understatement . but i did it because that 's how much i love you . [ chuckles ] we 'd been together for , what , like , a whole five minutes when britt dropped her bomb ? we never got to just be a normal cole , two people falling in love , and now we can , patrick . now we can just , like , focus on us -- you , me , and emma . no drama , no craziness . just us . i mean , does n't that sound nice ? patrick : yeah , it does . sabrina : yes , i know that you lost a potential son , and i 'm not gon na minimize that . but you have this amazing daughter at home . you have an incredible life . maybe instead of concentrating on what was never yours , you could be thankful for what is . 'cause a lot of people are n't nearly as lucky . patrick : sabrina . sabrina : i have to get back to work , but , um , i 'll be around if you need me . lulu : maybe we should have taken maxie 's advice . we should have named her georgie . dante : yeah , 'cause that really , really would have helped with the detachment process . lulu : oh , uh , i did n't tell you . dante : what ? lulu : i had a really good conversation with maxie last night . dante : yeah ? lulu : yeah , she was calm , lucid . she 's seeing dr. collins to help her with her issues . dante : oh , good . that 's great . lulu : yeah , it 's really good . it 's -- it 's so good that i gave her the present we bought her . maxie : thank you for having so much faith in me . anna : i have all the faith in the world in you . i do . that 's what godmothers are for . hmm ? unfortunately , this one has got to get back to work . maxie : the connie case ? anna : yeah , among others . i was hoping that i was gon na see patrick , maybe , while i was here , because i think he 's having as hard a time as you are letting go . maxie : letting go of what ? anna : you probably do n't know , do you ? maxie : i 've been a little busy . anna : yeah . britt westbourne had her baby , and , as most of us suspected , patrick 's not the father . maxie : britt had her baby ? anna : yeah . last night , after confessing that she 'd been lying to patrick for months . so , i would imagine that it 's as difficult , almost , for him to look at that child as it is for you to look at dante and lulu 's . maxie : i 'm confused , though . um , there was a paternity test , so how did patrick find out he was n't the father ? anna : britt told him . maxie : why ? anna : i do n't know the details , but i would imagine that , since she 's a mother now herself , that perhaps she wants to be a better person . i 'm gon na take off , okay ? you look after yourself , all right ? maxie : i will . anna : okay . maxie : thank you , anna . anna : i know . britt : i 'm going to be a terrible mother , just like mine was to me . nikolas : no , you 're not . do n't say that . we 're not destined to make our parents ' mistakes . if we were , i 'd be a kidnapper / murderer 10 times over . the stories that i could tell you about my father -- make your blood run cold , would n't it ? in his case , freeze all together , but that 's ... britt : what ? nikolas : nothing . never mind . the point is that i 'm nothing like him -- not as a man , not as a father . i 'm good to my son . trust me , you 'll be good to yours . britt : i ca n't . i - i just -- i - i - i ca n't . please . nikolas : okay . all right , i 'll , uh -- i 'll take him back to the nursery for now . britt : thank you . nikolas : and , britt ? you 're not your mother , okay ? can you remember that ? do n't you worry , little guy . your mommy loves you . she 'll come around , okay ? britt : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] britt : [ sighs ] what do you want ? maxie : your silence . monica : i really can not stay here and watch him behind bars . i 'm sorry . michael : monica . aj : it 's all right . let her go . [ door buzzes ] michael : [ sighs ] well , that was rough . aj : i deserved it . michael : how you holding up ? aj : i 've been better . michael : we got to get you out of here , find some way around these charges . aj : yeah , i need to talk to you about that . michael : you 're not gon na change your plea to guilty , are you ? aj : no , diane 's been working on a strategy for my defense . michael : yeah , there should be some sort of a loophole , considering you do n't even remember what -- aj : there 's no loopholes , michael . michael : okay , so , what 's the plan ? aj : diane intends on pinning connie 's murder on somebody else . on sonny . sonny : [ exhales deeply ] mr. corinthos , we need a statement ! mr. corinthos , can you comment on aj quartermaine 's plea of not guilty in your girlfriend 's murder ? [ camera shutters clicking ] patrick : hey . nikolas : hi patrick : is that britt 's son ? nikolas : it is . patrick : how 's he doing ? nikolas : uh , he 's fine . he had a little scare right after he was born , but the doctors say he 's perfectly healthy now . patrick : that 's good . nikolas : yeah . patrick : he does n't look anything like brad . nikolas : [ chuckles ] he does n't look anything like britt . then again , to me , all babies look like yoda . look , if you 're still believing that this might be your son -- patrick : i 'm not . i even had a new paternity test done . i know he 's not mine . just getting used to it now . nikolas : yeah . britt : am i supposed to know what that means ? maxie : you told patrick he 's not the father of that baby . britt : so ? maxie : so , i ca n't believe you did that to him . britt : i 'd watch where you throw those stones , maxie . at least i came clean . you 're the one still keeping spinelli in the dark . maxie : not anymore . britt : he knows the baby you were carrying is his ? maxie : yes . but dante and lulu do n't , and we want to keep it that way . britt : so , both of you are willing to give up your daughter ? maxie : look , we do n't feel like we have a choice . telling the truth now would just kill dante and lulu , and i ca n't do that . ellie trout has already promised to keep our secret , so that means the only person left who knows the truth is you . britt : and you think i 'd out you ? maxie : it 's not like you have n't threatened to before . and since you 've suddenly gone honest , i do n't know . all bets are off . so , what do you say ? can i trust you not to break dante and lulu 's hearts ? lulu : connie used to say that pressure was good for creativity . dante : operation pick a baby name -- go . anna : how about anna ? dante : hey . hey , that would actually work , because i 'm gon na be taking orders from her , too . anna : yes , you are . congratulations . dante : thank you . anna : you know i was kidding about the name . because you might want to find something with a bit more significant . lulu : yeah , do you have any idea what that would be ? anna : no . i have nothing . and this is a gift for the baby . i would have had it monogrammed , but ... dante : ah , yeah , yeah . very funny . rub it in . yes . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : well , baby girl , this is anna devane ... anna : aww . dante : ... best boss to have and a pretty good friend , too . anna : she 's gorgeous . look at those cheeks . oh , this time is so precious . enjoy every moment . lulu : we will . anna : [ chuckles ] lulu : come here , baby girl . let 's go open up the present . what do you think ? dante : [ sighs ] anna : dante , it 's gon na be so hard for you to tear yourself away from her . dante : i know . i know . it is , especially now that aj 's decided to plead not guilty . anna : he can claim he 's innocent , but the evidence tells another story . michael : are you serious ? diane 's gon na try and pin connie 's murder on my dad ? aj : she made some good points . michael : like what ? ! aj : that sonny was furious with connie . i mean , she told me that herself , michael . come on . sonny was in the office right after she was shot . hell , he -- he called it in . michael : she was his girlfriend . aj : oh , then why did he leave the crime scene ? michael : because he 's looking for you ! aj : exactly , to try and kill me . and he would have succeeded , too , if you had n't have stopped him . i mean , let 's face it -- sonny does have quite a propensity for violence . michael : yeah , when he 's protecting the people that he loves ! aj : okay , okay . the point is this -- he despises me , and diane thinks that she can -- she can sell the idea that sonny killed connie , and he wrote my initials in her blood to try and frame me . michael : you do n't actually believe that , do you ? aj : it does n't matter -- michael : it matters to me . aj : look , this is n't about arresting sonny or anything . it 's just about building a reasonable doubt . michael : yeah , at my father 's expense . aj : well , guess what . you know what ? sonny 's a big boy . he can handle it . michael : [ scoffs ] you have no idea what he 's going through . aj : michael , i 'm sure sonny 's been suffering . michael : `` suffering `` ? okay . he almost killed himself last night . sonny : what 'd you say ? mr. quartermaine 's lawyer claims he 's innocent , despite the damning evidence . sonny : and by `` damning , `` do you mean the victim writing aj 's name in her own blood ? [ camera shutters clicking ] if it even was the victim . ms. miller 's accusing you . she says that you killed ms . falconeri , then wrote the initials to frame mr. quartermaine . did you do it ? you and connie had been arguing , correct ? reporter : did you really kill the woman you claimed to love ?

[ grunts ] okay , you . lulu : i think i know what we should name her . dante : yeah , i think i do , too . britt : i wo n't tell dante and lulu the truth . maxie : how do i know i can trust you ? britt : because i 'm in no position to judge or rat you out -- not after what i did to patrick . maxie : anna devane thought impending motherhood might make you want to be a better person . britt : maybe . but that 's not why i told patrick the truth . he threatened to take my baby away from me . maxie : patrick wanted sole custody ? britt : and until that moment -- until i thought i actually might lose my son , i had n't realized i 'd grown to love him . maxie : it 's funny how that happens , huh ? where is your baby , anyway ? do n't you want him in here with you ? nikolas : believing that you 're a father , planning for that , and then finding out that it does n't exist -- i really am sorry . i - i do know how that feels -- patrick : it 's not good . nikolas : no . [ chuckles ] i was gon na say `` devastating , `` but , no , it 's -- you 're right . patrick : how did you deal when you found out that you were losing aiden ? nikolas : i just tried to concentrate on what was good in my life , spencer being at the top of that list . elizabeth and i left things in a way that actually ... made it worse , but somehow , i found a way to appreciate what i still had , rather than missing what was -- was n't mine to begin with , you know ? i 'll see you . britt : i sent him back to the nursery . maxie : why ? do n't you want him in here with you all the time ? i mean , i know i would . britt : do you ever think about what would have happened if you had -- if i , for that matter , would have told dante and lulu the truth from the start ? maxie : only about every five seconds , but it 's too late for that now , so it does n't matter anymore . britt : i 'm sorry , maxie . i really am . i guess we both know what it 's like to lose someone . maxie : britt , we are not in the same boat -- not even close . sure , you 're not with patrick anymore , but you still have your baby . you get to take him home and laugh with him , be with him every day . i gave my child away . britt : how ? maxie : because , as hard as it was for me -- and trust me , it was the most difficult thing i 've ever done in my life -- it would be worse for dante and lulu . they love that little girl so much . what would happen to them if they lost her ? sabrina : that 's a perfect name for your daughter . dante : thanks . so , we 're good to go out into the world ? sabrina : yeah . you 're free . enjoy . dante : thank you . lulu : oh , we definitely will . this is happening . we 're a family . dante : yeah , you better believe it . lulu : okay , falconeri clan , are we ready ? dante : are you kidding me ? us ? we were -- we were born ready . lulu : [ groans ] dante : what ? lulu : do n't you think it 's a little early to start laying on those cheesy lines ? dante : look at her . she loves it . i mean , she 's sleeping , so she does n't really know -- lulu : you should ask her again when she 's 13 . dante : i will . i 'll ask her when she wakes up , and i 'll ask her when she 's 13 . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : you love it . [ smooches ] lulu : [ sighs ] dante : after you , ladies . maxie : goodbye . maxie : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] `` thank you for giving us the gift of a little girl . we will thank you with every one of her smiles and love you with every beat of her heart . love , lulu and dante . `` [ sighs ] britt : thank you for bringing him back . i 'm sorry if i 'm giving you whiplash . nikolas : no . just out of curiosity , what changed your mind ? finally believe you 're not your mother ? britt : uh , i 'm getting there , thanks to you and a visit from an old patient . nikolas : smart patient . yeah ? britt : [ sighs ] nikolas : here you go . slide my hand out there . there you go . britt : hello , you . remember me ? i 'm your mommy . [ chuckles ] sabrina : whoa ! [ chuckles ] what are you doing ? patrick : apologizing . you were right . i need to focus on what i have and not what i lost . and thank god i still have you . i love you . aj : i do n't know what to say . michael : say you 'll call off diane . say you 'll -- you 'll tell her to come up with something else . aj : michael , she swears that shifting the blame to sonny is my best defense . i mean , do you want me to go down for murder ? michael : no , of course not , but i do n't want my father to be your scapegoat , either . aj : i 'm your father , too . michael : yeah , i - i know that , of course . that 's why i 'm here . i want to help you . but there 's got to be another way . aj : what if there is n't ? what if this is my only shot at avoiding a life sentence ? olivia : hey , sonny . look who came to see you . can you believe it ? our granddaughter 's here . oh , you guys , she 's about eight dozen times cuter than the last time i saw her . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : i told you she was cute , right ? lulu : yeah , you wo n't get any arguments from us . olivia : [ chuckles ] lulu : do you want to see her , sonny ? olivia : [ sighs ] dante : so , how 's he doing ? olivia : he 's not great . not great . he heard about aj 's defense . dante : he did -- what -- how ? olivia : reporters showed up at the house . dante : are you kidding me ? olivia : no . he totally lost it . [ sighs ] thank you for coming , honey . he really needs this . [ baby fusses ] lulu : hey . [ chuckles ] she looks pretty happy , grandpa . [ chuckles ] olivia : i just -- i can not -- i ca n't get over this . [ sighs ] dante : it 's unreal , right ? olivia : yeah . this precious little creature is ours . i mean yours . dante : [ chuckles ] olivia : she 's yours . she 's totally yours , but i get visitation rights , right ? [ chuckling ] oh . so , what are we gon na call this little angel ? [ baby coos ] olivia : you guys did give her a name , right ? lulu : yeah , we did . dante : we named her , uh -- named her connie . olivia : [ chuckles , sobs ] [ connie coos ]

kiki : who am i kidding ? you 're gon na get the blt like you always do . michael : yeah , that 's true . you know , you know me better than i know myself . kiki : and you get the same thing as michael , right ? morgan ? michael : morgan . morgan : hmm ? michael : no cell phones at the dinner table . morgan : oh , yeah . sorry , sorry . my head 's just somewhere else right now . kiki : hey , your brother 's gon na be okay . michael : we 're on the group chat with krissy . if there 's any word on dante , dad will let us know . morgan : no . i - i know that . i 'm just waiting for a call from someone else , too . hey , uh , rosalie , it 's morgan corinthos . um , i do n't know if you have any plans tonight or anything , but i 'm grabbing dinner at kelly 's around 6 : 00 with my brother and kiki , and i - i thought maybe you might be free to join us . if you want to stop by , that would be cool . yeah . okay . rosalie : i think that was morgan just asking me out on a date . ha . is n't that cool ? nina : yeah , it 's so cool ! no . it 's not . [ sighs ] you 're supposed to be angling for michael , not his little brother . rosalie : well , i 'm not interested in michael . plus , he 's got a girlfriend , and they seem really serious about each other . nina : well , not when you get through with him . do i need to remind you kiki is on the list ? she 's on the list . the list is everything . all ye who is on the list will experience my wrath . just like samantha morgan has . patrick : well , i can go if you want . sam : uh , do you have to pick up emma ? patrick : uh , no . not for another hour . she 's on a playdate at elizabeth 's . sam : oh , well , then , of course , stay . we just got an earful from spencer cassadine . i think it would be nice to sort of process the whole thing . patrick : yeah . sam : yeah ? patrick : can do that , yeah . sam : okay . i 'm gon na go check on danny , see if he did n't run my mom ragged . and then we 'll just -- we 'll sit down and -- and try figure this out and see if luke spencer was responsible for gabriel 's death . patrick : yeah . felix : a little light reading ? ava jerome ? why are you interested in her bad ass ? ava : well , that would be a major move , and i 'm afraid i ca n't make a decision like that on the spur of the moment . jordan : okay , but , ava , we need to act fast , you know ? if you could just give me a name , maybe i can start to put things in motion . ava : [ gasping ] jordan : ava ? what is it ? ava : i do n't know . i 'm -- [ exhales deeply ] i think it 's my baby . jordan : ava ? ava : never mind . it 's okay . jordan : `` never mind `` ? a minute ago , you were in agony . ava : i was . but i 'm fine now . whatever -- whatever it was , it passed . jordan : i do n't think it 's wise if we take chances . i mean , i can call your doctor right now . ava : jordan , i - i said i 'm fine . oh ! jordan : okay . okay . enough of this . uh , help ! help ! we need some help in here ! what 's going on ? jordan : uh , get the car . we 're taking her to the hospital right now . sabrina : i was just cleaning up . britt 's patient files are always in complete disarray . they just -- they needed some sorting out . felix : mm . i think she creates more work just to mess with us . sabrina : i 've got it under control . felix : i just want to make sure you 're not overdoing it . you 've only been back a few days . sabrina : who says i 'm overdoing it ? it 's filing . felix : i know . i 'm just trying to help -- sabrina : what ? oh , because most of britt 's patients are expecting mothers , i 'm gon na break down ? put on my wedding dress again ? felix : [ sighs ] my bad . i know you 're more than capable . you know , i 'll just -- i 'll just get out of your way . felix , i did n't mean to snap . you 're just being a good friend . look , maybe it does get to me in a way . felix : how so ? sabrina : ava jerome . she 's a reputed mob figure . god knows what she 's done , how many people she 's hurt , and yet she 's pregnant . she 's bringing a baby into this world . i buried mine . felix : it 's not right . no one would say otherwise . but you and gabriel will get justice . have you talked to , uh , patrick lately ? is he any closer to finding out who sicced rafe on you ? sam : my mom managed to get danny down for the night , but i guess there was a bit of a battle in the bathtub . so i do n't know who 's more tired , my mom or danny . um , can i get you a drink or something ? patrick : n - no . no . i 'm okay . sam : okay . well , then , let 's , uh , dive in , huh ? patrick : okay , so , um , apparently luke spencer 's responsible for causing the crash . sam : yeah , according to my 9-year - old cousin . patrick : spencer seems to believe that he 's pretty dangerous , though . sam : i know , and i 'm not discounting him , but spencer is known to have these flights of imagination . and the accusations that he 's making ... patrick : it does n't really make sense , does it ? i mean , it 's luke spencer . but luke has been a family friend of robin 's since before she was born . i 've heard countless stories of the scrapes that he and robert got each other out of over the years . to think that luke is targeting emma to keep spencer quiet -- it 's bizarre . sam : i agree . but for the lack of other leads , let 's assume that what spencer is saying is true . luke put rafe up to running your family off the road . patrick , what are we gon na do about it ? rosalie : i get it , okay ? you want kiki brought to heel , just like your mother and silas and sam and ava . relax , okay ? nina : relax ? i relaxed for 20 years in a hospital bed , and no one cared , rosalie . i had bedsores because i relaxed so much . now i 'm taking action . rosalie : okay , well , this plan of action of yours -- i 'm the one doing the acting , okay , on a guy i do n't even know . and i 'm manipulating poor morgan in the process . nina : oh , rosalie , he 'll get over it . please get with the program , ro . get with the program . you work for me . you got it ? unless you have some other way , some other idea to give kiki the comeuppance that she deserves . do you ? let 's hear it . rosalie : well , yeah , i do n't know . nina : `` i do n't know , i do n't know . `` yeah , right , you do n't know . so let 's go with what we do know . so you accept morgan 's invitation -- accept it . and you spend the entire night trying to pry michael away from kiki , and you take her place . do you understand ? or do we have a problem ? kiki : you invited someone to join us for dinner tonight ? morgan : yeah , ro -- rosalie . you remember her , right , mikey ? michael : yeah , you introduced us at the hospital . kiki : wait . nina 's nurse , rosalie ? morgan : yeah . what -- what about it ? kiki : nothing . michael : she 's -- she 's pretty . morgan : yeah , so , what 's the problem . she 's new in town . she does n't have any friends . kiki : it 's probably 'cause she has a nasty attitude . silas says she has a wicked tongue . michael : maybe that 's what morgan likes about her . morgan : no . it 's not even -- it 's not even like that . michael : do you want it to be like that ? [ phone chimes ] morgan : it 's her . well , it looks like we should hold off on ordering because rosalie 's on her way . rosalie : there . i sent it . are you satisfied ? nina : i wo n't be satisfied until all that 's left of kiki is a puddle of tears and an off - one - shoulder t - shirt . is she serious with that ? even i know that the `` flashdance `` style is over . rosalie : actually , um , it 's made a big comeback . the ' 80s looks are in again . nina : for those with no taste . anyway , you know your task . no googly eyes at morgan . no footsie under the table . kiki is the target . michael is the means . remember the list . the list is all . rosalie : is all . i got it . can i ask you a question ? um , have you ever given any thought to what happens after the list ? nina : i 'm not following . ross : well , one of these days , if all goes according to plan , that list of yours wo n't have any names left on it . what are you gon na do then ? what will you have left to live for ? nina : what ? uh , let me figure that out . just complete your task at hand tonight -- thank you -- and then i can cross kiki 's name off of the list . patrick : i know we told spencer we were n't going to go to the police , but ... sam : what ? are you having second thoughts ? patrick : yeah . i am . i mean , think about it . what if we go to anna with everything that we know , right ? we tell her that luke supposedly endangered her granddaughter , she 's gon na use every resource she has to find out if it 's true , and , if it is , go after luke . sam : okay , you 're right . the commissioner is much better equipped to handle something of this magnitude than we are . patrick : but ? sam : i 'm just afraid that spencer 's account of what happened does n't rise to the level that is required to open an investigation . patrick : yeah , but emma 's been threatened . she 's not gon na be a stickler for the rules at this point . sam : okay . however , the more people we alert our suspicions about luke , the greater chance that he 's gon na find out . so if luke is our guy and he knows we 're after him , i 'm afraid that he 's gon na go into hiding or try and cover his tracks or something worse . patrick : we ca n't go after luke on our own , sam . sam : no , i know we ca n't , but i 'm just saying that we need more information before we go to anna . we need to somehow corroborate spencer 's story . patrick : okay , so what we know is that spencer overheard luke talking to somebody else about how he 's gon na go after sonny , right ? sam : right . in the stables at wyndemere on the night of nikolas and britt 's engagement . patrick : i certainly was n't there . sam : i was there , and i certainly saw luke there . patrick : did you happen to be in the stables ? sam : um , yeah . yeah . i was in the stables . i was there with silas , and , um , i did not see luke . patrick : you and silas in the stables , eh ? sam : [ speaks indistinctly ] patrick : okay . sam : so , spencer said luke was talking to some man , but we do n't know we that is . patrick : right . so if we find out who that is , then we work backwards . simple question -- who would want to go after sonny ? sam : simple answer -- who would n't ? patrick : wait . was n't ric lansing supposedly going after sonny before he was arrested ? sam : yes , and ric was at the party that night . but he got killed when he was running from the cops , so there 's no way of questioning him . patrick : so where does that leave us ? back at square one . nina : hey . silas you 're home early . silas : yeah , i thought i 'd surprise you . nina : oh , how sweet . is n't that sweet ? rosalie : so sweet . nina : yeah . well , your timing could n't be better , 'cause rosalie was just leaving . silas : oh , that is lucky . nina : yeah , um , i convinced her to go out with some friends . she 's going out with some youngsters . she 's gon na live it up . silas : you gave her the night off . that 's very generous of you . rosalie : yeah . so generous . nina : um , listen . you better go -- go bounce . rosalie : okay . do n't wait up . nina : uh , you 're wearing your smock tonight ? go have fun . have fun . do n't be shy . make new friends . silas : do n't be shy . she 's so shy , that one . nina : [ chuckles ] well , you 'd be surprised . i think i convinced her to sort of put herself out there . so , i 'm so glad you 're here and happy we 're gon na have a date of our own . so , um , tell me about your day . silas : sure . right after you tell me what i just walked in on . morgan : promise me you guys are n't gon na give rosalie a hard time . michael : who , us ? kiki : what ? ! we would never . morgan : yeah . right . michael : i tease because i love . morgan : okay , well , love a little less . michael : i 'm just glad you 're finally doing something else besides working at the brownstone . morgan : that 's funny , coming from the guy that that expected me to renovate it . michael : what i 'm trying to say is it 's about time you got out and socialized some . morgan : you mean it 's time i get over ava ? michael : okay , i 'm not -- i 'm not trying to suggest that there 's a time frame . kiki : yeah . no , no , no . no one 's suggesting that you would just bounce back that easily , especially after what you 've been through . michael : and what you 're still going through . kiki : yeah . but michael and i did go to my mom 's place for dinner the other night . morgan : i know . michael told me . i guess you 've been seeing , uh , more of ava than i have since her little announcement . kiki : that 's not exactly how she would want it . morgan : i 'm sorry . are you giving me grief right now because i 'm avoiding the woman who cheated on me with my dad ? is that what you 're doing ? kiki : i 'm not advocating for you two to get back together . michael : that 's not what trying to say . kiki : but you guys have to make peace eventually . this baby is coming soon . my mom 's showing a lot . i even felt the baby kick . morgan : yeah . you mean the baby that may or may not be mine . kiki : morgan , the baby is going to be a member of your family and michael 's , too , no matter what . there 's still time to get involved . there are sonograms and lamaze classes , even though my mom 's probably just gon na get an epidural and be done with it . morgan : that sounds a little more realistic , do n't you think ? 'cause we all know that ava likes to avoid inconvenience whenever she can . kiki : are you really that angry at my mom , that you 're willing to cheat yourself out of the time you have now to spend time with that baby before it 's born ? sabrina : the investigation into the crash is ongoing . as far as i know , the police do n't have any new leads . felix : i hear that sam morgan is the real deal as a p.i . if anyone can crack the case , it 's her . sabrina : well , she has n't found anything so far . felix : give it time . i 'm sure that patrick and sam will get to the bottom of what happened , and whoever 's responsible will get what 's coming to him . sabrina : or her . [ elevator bell dings ] ava : [ gasping ] jordan : a little help here . yeah , this woman and her baby are in trouble . morgan : thanks for the , uh , life critique , kiki . you sure you do n't want to add any helpful comments about what i 'm not doing productive career - wise , too ? or you want to -- you want to just leave that for my mom ? michael : nobody 's telling you want to do or how to live your life ? morgan : really , michael , 'cause i could have sworn i just heard her spouting advice about bonding and lamaze classes , like ava 's just some sweet , expectant mother , like she 's not a liar . even worse -- that slept with me and my dad . michael : look , maybe she did n't say it right , but she 's just trying to help . kiki cares about you . morgan : oh , she cares about me ? that 's nice , because ava cares about me , dad cares about me . everyone cares about me . but you know what would be nice ? to find someone who cares about me that shows in a way of not breaking my heart and telling how to live my life , michael . kiki : morgan , i just do n't want you to regret -- morgan : no , i get it . i get it . i really do . it 's an uncomfortable situation for you two , and you want everyone to get along , but it 's not gon na happen , so let 's just leave it alone . where 's the damn waitress at ? michael : geez . i 'm gon na go after him . kiki : no , no , no , no , no , no . it 's my fault . i opened up my big , fat mouth and got a big , fat telling - off in return , which i completely deserved , so i will go and fix it . michael : all right . well , let me know if you need backup . rosalie : is this seat taken ? nina : i 'm sorry . for what you walked in on ? silas : when i walked in the door , i thought i heard you say something to rosalie about crossing kiki 's name off a list . nina : oh . right . the christmas list . silas : in september ? nina : it 's never too early . every savvy shopper knows that . silas : that 's a long time to keep christmas gifts hidden . nina : okay , listen . [ sighs ] when i woke up from my coma , everything changed ... as you know . i found out my mom is in prison . my little brother is now a tough detective . and my friends had grown up and had kids , and then you moved on . now it 's the first time that i really am excited about this growing circle of family and friends that i have , and i just want to buy people gifts and give people love . and you and your daughter are included . i mean , is there a problem because i 'm so excited about that ? silas : no , i just -- it seems a little early to me . you were -- you were never one to keep a secret . nina : i know . i was n't . well , if i 'm not talking about christmas , then what am i talking about ? sam : just because i did n't find anything does n't mean there is n't anything going down . i still think nina is keeping something from you . nina : silas ? silas : mm . nina : hey . why are you -- why the sudden suspicion ? sam : even with ric out of the picture , we can still continue with this investigation . we just have to find out whatever we can about luke . patrick : yeah , but luke 's out of town , is n't he , as far as we know ? sam : that 's great . then it 'll be easier not to tip him off . we just have to figure out where he was the night of the accident , track his moves all the way back to britt and nickolas ' engagement party . i mean , even farther than that . we need to figure out what he 's been doing , who he 's been talking to . patrick : that 's a lot of time to account for . sam : we just need one meeting , one piece of evidence he neglected to conceal . one thing that proves that spencer 's right . patrick : okay , so what are we supposed to do ? go to tracy , somebody that knows him well , and say , `` hey , do you know if luke is plotting against sonny and targeting emma for death ? `` sam : yeah , that 's a great idea . patrick : well , hey , i mean , i 'm not a detective . i 'm a doctor . sam : i now you 're not , but you 're actually not bad at this . you 're good . patrick : thank you . sam : okay . no . what i 'm saying is , we have to -- patrick : what ? sam : did you hear something ? patrick : no . hear what ? sam : i do n't know . i just get this feeling that someone is watching us . danny : boo ! sam : [ gasps ] oh ! get over here ! what are you doing ? [ chuckles ] patrick : what 's up , buddy ? how are you ? come here . what are you doing awake , huh ? felix : tell me what happened . jordan : we were just talking , and then , all of a sudden , she just cried out and nearly fell over . ava : there was pain , and it seemed to go away . and then a couple seconds later , it was back . felix : are you in pain now ? ava : no . no , not at the moment . but on the way over , in the car , i was . dr. westbourne is my doctor . jordan : we tried to call her on the way over , but we got her voice mail . felix : she 's not on . i can try to reach her , but in the meantime , let 's get you into an exam room . sabrina : do n't worry , miss jerome . you 're in very good hands . nina : how did i earn this sudden mistrust ? silas : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to give you the third degree or anything . nina : it 's okay . silas : i guess i 'll try to stay off your naughty list until christmastime . nina : i can think of a way that you can make it up to me . silas : oh , yeah ? nina : yeah . i 'm still interested what prompted this sudden inquisition . did you have a bad day at work ? silas : no . no . in fact , it was a -- it was a good day . i was able to give a patient some good news today . then i ran into sam . and i guess something she said to me just kind of stuck in my head . nina : what did she say ? silas : well , the subject of the crichton - clark business card came up , and she mentioned to me that , um -- nina : well , you know that that card does n't belong to me , and it does n't belong to rosalie . i told you that . you believe me , right ? silas : mm - hmm . yeah , i do n't think it was about that . in the course of conversation , she -- she happened to mention to me that she and drake had recently been to the crichton - clark clinic , and -- nina : what for ? silas : checking on you . sam : i should have known it was too good to be true when i found you sleeping . were you playing possum ? patrick : huh ? danny : yeah . patrick : go easy on him . sam : no ? yeah ? patrick : you just knew i was down here , and you were being a good host , right ? you came down to say hi to me ? yeah ? sam : no , we 're not playing . patrick : what do you mean ? sam : it 's bedtime . it 's bedtime . patrick : come on . just a couple minutes , right ? we can play for just a couple minutes , yeah ? danny : yeah . patrick : yeah ! sam : okay . patrick : okay . sam : a couple minutes . patrick : let 's play with the cars . look at all these things . sam : you are a bad influence . you know that ? patrick : on who ? him or you ? sam : [ chuckles ] patrick : i never get to play cars at home . sam : really ? emma does n't like cars ? patrick : to be honest , i do n't really know . i 've never really asked her . i did have a bunch for gabriel that i was -- could n't wait to use when he got older , but -- they 're still in boxes . sabrina : nothing from dr. westbourne , and dr. chu is performing a c - section . felix : i 'll track down the attending . ava : could sabrina do that ? felix : oh , do n't worry , miss jerome , you are in good hands with nurse santiago . sabrina : that 's right . i was just familiarizing myself with your file , miss jerome . there is n't a thing about you that i do n't already know . jordan : how 's ava ? felix : she 's experiencing some occasional pain , but there 's no sign of bleeding , and her vitals are holding steady . jordan : and the baby ? felix : and the baby 's vitals are good , too . jordan : then what 's wrong with her ? felix : that 's for the doctor to say . but he 's with another patient . he 'll be here shortly . sorry . uh , miss jerome needs calm . she ca n't have any visitors until the doctor clears it . jordan : yeah , but these are ava 's bodyguards . felix : well , as glam as the fourth floor may be , we do n't get much paparazzi . jordan : [ chuckles ] they 're for her protection . felix : i 'll try not to take that personally , but contrary to yelp , the care here is just fine . ava : [ grunts ] where is the doctor ? ! sabrina : please try to stay calm , miss jerome . stress does n't do you or your baby any favors . ava : well , it 's not that terribly easy to be serene when it feels like your stomach is tied up in knots . is n't there something that you can do for me , for the baby , until the doctor gets here ? sabrina : would you like some ice chips ? ava : ice chips ? no . i 'm not in labor . sabrina : would you like a stress ball , some drugs to ease the pain ? ava : is there something you can give me ? sabrina : oh , well , the effects on the fetus would be deleterious , to say the least . would you like me to call someone for you ? a friend , family member , the father ? ava : no . there 's no one . kiki : i come in peace . morgan : kiki , i 'm sorry that i jumped all over you . kiki : no . if anyone should be apologizing , it should me me , okay ? i 'm sorry . i should n't be going around giving unasked - for advice , especially to you and especially about my mom . there 's no defense for what she did to you . morgan : well , thanks for saying for that , even if you do n't actually believe it . kiki : for the record , i said what i did out of concern for you , not my mom . i just do n't want you to feel like you missed out on anything . but i 'm sorry . i should have been more sensitive to what you 're going through . morgan : look , you 're not telling me anything i do n't already know about the baby . i just do n't think i 'm ready to hear it . kiki : when you are ready , you know the nosy chick to come to , right ? that is if you can forgive me . rosalie : michael , right ? rosalie martinez . we met at the hospital . michael : right . nice to see you again , rosalie . morgan said you might be joining us . please sit down . rosalie : uh , did we lose morgan and kiki ? michael : uh , no . they 're just talking . they 'll be back in a little bit . rosalie : is something wrong ? michael : family stuff . rosalie : oh . about morgan and your dad and kiki 's mother ? sorry . um , morgan told me about the whole thing . sounds like a greek tragedy waiting to happen . sorry . uh , i do n't mean to be flippant about it . michael : you know , what can you do ? kiki 's mother 's pregnant , and either morgan or my dad is the father . and any way you look at it , it 's very uncomfortable . and you think about it too long , it becomes a little incestuous . rosalie : [ chuckles ] yeah . kind of need a scorecard to keep up . on top of everything else , is n't your girlfriend morgan 's ex ? michael : okay , maybe more than a little . ava : [ grunts ] why does n't this pain stop ? sabrina : just breathe . ava : i would like to see the doctor , please ? now . sabrina : the attending will be here any minute . ava : i 've never felt anything like this before . what -- what do you think is happening ? sabrina : it could be a number of things -- cramps , ligament pain . you could be experiencing braxton - hicks contractions . ava : so you -- you think it 's harmless , then ? sabrina : or ... you could be miscarrying . nina : samantha 's investigating me ? silas : whatever it was , i think it 's over now . nina : you think it 's over ? silas : she did n't find anything . nina : because there 's nothing to find . you believe me , right ? silas : of course , i do . nina : what did she even think she was gon na get from her little field trip with dr. drake to crichton - clark ? i mean , what evidence did she think she was gon na unearth about my 20-year coma ? i mean , if she wanted my medical records , i would have provided them to her . silas : i know . i told her that . i do n't think she 'll be bringing it up again . nina : good . i hope not . [ scoffs ] why does n't she just get a life and get out of ours ? why does n't she just work on creating her -- her new relationship with her new boyfriend ? patrick : see if he 's gon na make the jump . yeah ! the crowd goes wild . danny . good job . sam : you know , if you 're ever in the mood to play cars again ... patrick : it 's a little sexist . i just assumed that emma would be into them , right ? sam : are you kidding me ? to be fair , i think emma can speak her own mind . danny : let 's play . let 's play . sam : you want to do it again ? and if she wanted to play cars , she would tell you that she would want to play cars . she just does n't know what she 's missing . patrick : right , like jumping the gorge . hey , one more time ? sam : what i meant by `` if you ever want to play cars again , `` you 're more than welcome to come over and play with danny , 'cause he 's obviously having a really great time . patrick : let me look at this one , too . there 's another one here . sam : and you -- i mean , you mentioned about how you bought all these boys ' toys and you expected to play with them with gabriel and you do n't get to do it . he 's kind of missing out , not having jason around , you know ? patrick : i think you 've been an awesome mom . i do n't think he 's missing out on anything . sam : awesome ? yeah , i am awesome , are n't i ? no . there are just some things that i 'm not well - suited for -- things that jason would be doing , you know , if he were here . rosalie : do you think kiki and morgan are all right ? i mean , i got the sense from morgan that things are cool between them , but the situation ca n't be easy . michael : uh , no , it 's fine . i mean , morgan and kiki -- they get along great . rosalie : even when he was dating her mom ? michael : [ chuckles ] our family is a little , uh , unconventional . rosalie : yeah . i mean , morgan said that both you and kiki have really been there to help them through this whole mess . michael : yeah . i 'm glad to hear that . i hope he knows he can talk to either one of us . rosalie : is that what 's going on in there ? you know , i 've got to hand it to you . you are a very enlightened individual . i mean , as boyfriends go . michael : what do you mean ? rosalie : well , your girlfriend is inside giving her ex - husband a shoulder to cry on . if i was you , i would n't stand for it . michael : you 're the jealous type , huh ? rosalie : does that even count as jealousy ? i 'd say i 'm sensible . michael : oh , so now i 'm an idiot . rosalie : no . no , no , no . no . i did n't mean that . i just -- they have been in there for a long time . michael : well , sometimes a shoulder is just a shoulder . rosalie : i 've heard that before . michael : look , um , you really do n't have to worry about morgan and kiki . they 're just friends . rosalie : but that was n't always the case . michael : no , but the truth is , they were kind of over even while they were still together . rosalie : so none of this bothers you , huh ? the friendliness , them living together ? you ever wonder what they get up to at night when you 're at your place and they 're alone in that big house ? michael : no . morgan : of course i forgive you . do n't be stupid . kiki : oh , you sweet talker , you . [ chuckles ] michael : morgan and kiki are just friends . there 's no going back for those two . felix : do me a favor and keep your lackies away from my patient . jordan : my lackies ? felix : associates , flunkies , muscle . whatever terms hired goons are going by these days in the art world . that is what you 're calling your business , right ? jordan : i hope you do n't treat your patients with this kind of disrespect that you 're showing me . felix : my patients receive the utmost t.l.c . jordan : but friends and family get lip . felix : only the drug - dealing ones . tell me , how do you sleep at night ? jordan : excuse me ? felix : peddling smack , making addicts out of kids to help your bottom line . exacerbating the stereotype of a black drug dealer , all the while destroying the community . jordan : okay , okay . before you start throwing accusations , you might want to turn the mirror around and see if you 're not cultivating some of your own clichés , miss mouth . felix : oh . jordan : you do n't know anything about me . felix : i 'm a friend of tj 's . i know plenty . do n't you even think about what your job is doing to your son ? i mean , there 's got to be something more productive you can be doing with your life . jordan : how do you know i 'm not ? ava : you 're saying that i could be losing my baby ? sabrina : it 's a very real possibility . miscarriages happen all the time . do n't you want to be fully informed ? sometimes they happen without warning . i 've seen it happen . ava : look , i know you lost your baby . that 's terrible . i 'm sorry about that . but it does n't give you the right to be i - insensitive to patients ! sabrina : i did n't lose my baby ! gabriel was taken from me . he was murdered -- murdered by -- doctor : ms. jerome ? ava : well , it 's about time ! doctor : i 'm sorry for the delay . i can take it from here , nurse santiago . let 's find out what the trouble is . nina : listen , i 'm sorry , silas . i do n't mean to get so upset , but it really , really burns my butter that sam and dr. drake would make a bonding project out of my misfortune . i mean , honestly , i should call one of those people at american disabilities and file a claim , because i 'm sure sam , what she 's doing , is harassment , and it 's against the law . silas : i do n't think sam asking questions constitutes harassment . nina : oh , right , because i 'm sure she just walked up to the front desk and she just asked politely to talk to my doctors . you told me that you broke into the clinic before , when you were trying to find me . silas : the point is , there 's nothing to find , right , nina ? it 's just better to leave it alone . nina : yeah . and sam and dr. drake are probably on to -- to solve their next case in their very , very bad impersonation of `` hart to hart . `` silas : what ? nina : `` hart to hart , `` the tv show . silas : yeah , i think i missed that one . nina : silas ! it 's the greatest show ever . it was robert wagner and stefanie powers , and they were sort of busybody wealthy people , and they were moonlighting as amateur sleuths , and they had this sort of codger butler and a dog that was really cute . his name was freeway . silas : yeah , i never saw it . nina : [ chuckles ] you did n't ? oh , that 's crazy . listen , rosalie told me that you can get old tv shows online , and we can download them . so why do n't we do that ? why do n't we curl up on the sofa and just watch a marathon ? silas : or i could just kill myself . nina : [ chuckling ] i know . i 'm gon na do this with you . how exciting ! go get into something comfortable , and i 'll make popcorn and everything , and we 'll have fun . silas : okay . i 'm ... sure it 's gon na be great . nina : yeah . or it 'll be torture . [ sighs ] exactly what you deserve for doubting me because of something sam put into your head . you know , sam , i know you 're off the list , but you can land back on the list , sam . i could put you right back on the list . sam : you got him ! you win ! patrick : you win -- again . sam : yes ! you did good . patrick : buddy , i got to get going . i got to go pick up emma at elizabeth 's . [ phone ringing ] sam : okay . all right . well , you do that . we 're gon na have some -- patrick : hey , elizabeth . i 'm on my way . uh , okay . that sounds good . okay . bye . um , well , it turns out that emma 's gon na eat over at elizabeth 's and have a sleepover with -- with the boys . so i 'm on my own . sam : oh . no , you are not on your own , not as long as danny and i are here . right , buddy ? what do you say i , um , put him to s - l - e - e - p and then we order in and go over our next move ? does that sound good ? patrick : yeah . yeah , it does . sam : good . patrick 's gon na stay . did you hear that ? he 's staying . nina : right there , sam . right there . there 's room on the list for you , and i 'll have plenty of time once rosalie gets the ball rolling on little miss slutshine -- kiki jerome . rosalie : morgan and kiki really have been gone a while . michael : yeah , i 'm sure they 'll be back soon . rosalie : yeah , unless morgan got real comfy on that shoulder of kiki 's . besides , i need to order a coffee . i 'm gon na see what 's keeping them . michael : all right . kiki : okay , so we 're cool , right ? morgan : we 're cool . kiki : good . good , because we 've taken a lot of steps forward , captain . i would n't want us to backslide now . morgan : we wo n't . we wo n't . we wo n't . we just got to keep being honest with each other . and i may not want to hear it at first , but i know you always have my back . kiki : and i know you always have mine . you know , i really appreciate being able to talk to you about this whole franco / carly / sonny thing . and thank you for keeping the secret from michael . i mean , i hate it , but i know that he would n't be able to resist blabbing it to franco . morgan : well , michael would love nothing more than for mom and franco to break up , and so would i . kiki : really ? because i think that she and franco are good together . anyway , your mom begged me not to say anything , so the last thing anyone needs is for franco to find out that sonny and carly slept together . nina : and then there 's you , ava . ava jerome . oh . think i 'd forget about you ? queen of the slores . you 're always on my mind . you and your baby . felix : you 're right . i do n't know your life , and i do n't much care to . bodyguard : we got her , doc . ava : thank you , doctor . doctor : you 're welcome . take care now . jordan : what 's going on ? are you and the baby okay ? ava : yes . fine . it 's something called pre - term contractions . not dangerous . jordan : thank god . i was worried . ava : and so was i. needlessly , as it turns out . okay , fellas , let 's go home . i just need to take it easy for the rest of the night .

nikolas : you need to keep better tabs on jake . he and sam came by hurling accusations . elizabeth : about his past ? nikolas : yes , amongst other things . when hayden told sam that someone else knows who jake really is , they immediately assume that she was referring to me . elizabeth : well , what did you say ? nikolas : what else ? i pinned it on helena . [ scene_break ] [ jason 's flashback ] jason : sonny , can you hear me , buddy ? there you are , all right . sonny : i know you 'd come . [ groans ] you always do . [ scene_break ] carly : patrick , is there an update on sonny ? patrick : this is still preliminary . we have to run more tests . the good news is that sonny 's in better condition than he was when the paramedics brought him in . carly : oh , god . thank god . i mean , that 's a relief . tj : what happened ? is mr. corinthos gon na be okay ? carly : patrick 's just about to tell us .

[ scene_break ] lulu : olivia told me that she saw julian at the pier about three hours ago ... dante : wow . lulu : ... right around the time sonny should have been at the wedding . dante : is n't that interesting , julian ? so , it turns out you were near the crime scene after all . morgan : you were there ? [ scene_break ] patrick : as i was explaining , the bullet is lodged perilously close to sonny 's spine . and it 's gon na require surgery . with that , comes substantial risks . carly : well , what kind of risks ? patrick : one wrong move , and sonny could end up paralyzed for life . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , what did you tell hayden about helena ? nikolas : i got to go , okay ? elizabeth : all right . nikolas : so , you ready for our al fresco dinner ? hayden : yes , spencer was running me ragged . he -- he basically performed a one - man show re - enacting his first day at school . and , apparently , his outfit was a success . except for a couple of older boys , but he took care of them . nikolas : how ? hayden : i 've been sworn to secrecy . but let 's just say , if the principal finds out , you 'll be his first phone call . nikolas : i 'm looking forward to that . hayden : yeah . nikolas : actually . hayden : uh , by the way , a little heads - up . he 's gon na need some help with his homework . did you know his class is working on family trees ? nikolas : really ? hayden : yes . and he was talking about your -- his great grandmother , my old friend helena . the one who introduced us in europe . nikolas : yeah , yeah , that 's her . hayden : yeah , she sounds like quite the lady . nikolas : quite the something . hayden : i think both of us should help him with his project . i mean , maybe talking about helena will jog my memory . i mean , you seem to be chatty on the subject . were n't you talking about helena when i came in ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hi , how are you ? jason : i 'm uh ... not good . elizabeth : oh , my god , what is this ? jason : it 's okay . no , it 's okay . relax . elizabeth : is this blood ? jason : it 's not mine . it 's not mine . sonny was shot . elizabeth : how did you end up with his blood all over you ? ! jason : sam and i were the ones that found him . [ scene_break ] anna : what is sonny 's status now ? jordan : as far as i know , he 's still alive . anna : and you ? what about you ? jordan : w - what do you mean ? anna : your son was just taken at gunpoint and used as bait to lure sonny to what was meant to be his death . i would think even you would be rattled . jordan : of course , i 'm rattled . yeah , it 's my fault . anna : how on earth can you be to blame for what happened ? jordan : i set this in motion years ago when i sent tj to live with shawn . and little by little , he got drawn into sonny 's world , and now i ca n't get him out . anna : well , that 's not how i see it . i think you made an honorable choice to join the dea and do some good in the world . and you entrusted shawn with your kid . so if anyone 's to blame , i 'd say it would be him . jordan : that 's not how tj sees it , no . i thought that he would finally , you know , see sonny for what he is . instead , he 's not recognizing him as a criminal with blood on his hands . he recognizes him as some -- i do n't know , some bad - ass super hero that came to his rescue . no , the only person that tj blames in all of this is julian jerome . [ scene_break ] julian : whoa , whoa , whoa ! get your brother off me ! get in line ! dante : you shut your mouth ! you shut your mouth , or i 'll have you for obstruction . morgan : that 's what he said , right , dante ? that he was at the pier , right , when dad got shot ? lulu : olivia saw julian at the docks , near the time that sonny got shot , and that looks suspicious . morgan : oh , you son of a bitch , you 're gon na pay for trying to kill my dad -- you hear me ? !

[ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] anna : so , did julian go after sonny ? jordan : well , julian , he claimed he 's a changed man . but he is n't after sonny because he 's out of the business . anna : well , he also says he was n't behind duke 's murder . but proof or no proof , i know that he ordered the hit . jordan : sure he did . look , i 've already charged julian with his connection to the hijackings , and i just do n't have enough evidence tying him to sonny 's shooting -- not enough to bring a case to ric . anna : if -- if it 's there , you 'll find it . jordan : i have n't forgotten that i 'm supposed to speak to ric about sloane . i 'm just -- i think he 's a little distracted that his brother sonny 's been shot . but i promise i will -- i will arrange for sloane 's immunity deal as soon as possible . anna : actually , that wo n't be necessary . jordan : why not ? anna : sloane betrayed me . [ scene_break ] nikolas : eavesdropping on my calls now ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : what do you mean you found sonny ? did someone shoot him and leave him in the street ? jason : no . we heard a gunshot . so , i ran up to the warehouse to check it out , and i found three armed men holding tj and sonny hostage . i had to do something . elizabeth : you had to do something ? why did n't you call the police ? jason : 'cause there was n't any time to call the police , and , i do n't know , i just reacted , okay ? the kid , tj , was tied to the chair , and sonny was already on the ground . he was bleeding out . elizabeth : so , what did you do ? jason : what did i do ? i killed three men . that 's what i did . elizabeth : how ? did you have a gun ? jason : no , i did n't have a gun , but i took one of theirs eventually . elizabeth : so you were unarmed against three men ? jake , you could have been killed . jason : look , i 'm fine . i did n't get killed . i 'm fine . look at me . i 'm okay , honey . elizabeth : what about tj and sonny ? are they okay ? jason : tj was pretty shaken up , but he 's okay . sonny was bleeding out pretty badly . he 's barely holding on . i did what i could for him while we waited for the ambulance . elizabeth : we ? jason : yeah , like i said , sam was with me . [ scene_break ] sam : patrick . patrick : peace offering ? sam : [ scoffs ] why ? do i need to make one ? patrick : well , it would n't hurt . i tend to react badly when i find out that you could have been shot . sam : i was afraid you would jump to all the wrong conclusions . patrick : did i ? was that not you running alongside sonny 's gurney ? is it just a coincidence that jake 's covered in blood ? sam : no , all of those things happened , but i was never in any danger . patrick : sam , i swear to god , if the next words out of your mouth are `` jake kept me safe , `` my head is gon na explode . sam : [ scoffs ] do you want to hear what actually happened ? or do you just want to be preemptively furious ? patrick : i 'm listening . sam : jake and i were on the pier , and we heard the shooting . and jake told me to stay safe , and i did . patrick : for how long ? sam : long enough that by the time i caught up with him , the shooting was over . patrick : and i 'm gon na assume that jake was involved in the shooting . sam : yes , he -- he was . it was the only way to save sonny and tj .

[ scene_break ] sam : jake went to tell carly . tj got brought down to the police station to give a statement . i rode in the ambulance with sonny . and when i got here , i would have said something to you , but you were busy saving sonny 's life . i mean , are -- are you still mad at me ? patrick : i just do n't know how many times i 'm gon na have to do this , sam . i love you . i respect what you do . i admire your courage . but it scares the hell out of me that when you hear gunshots , you go running towards them . [ scene_break ] jason : sam called 911 , and she untied tj . i tended to sonny , rolled him over . he was hit pretty bad . there was blood everywhere . something about him was off . he said something that did n't make sense . elizabeth : what do you mean ? jason : he told me that he knew i 'd come . he said that i always do . [ scene_break ] anna : well , as you know , sloane said he would testify that nikolas was complicit in the election tampering . but then when sam and jake confronted nikolas , sloane just denied everything . jordan : but you were so sure that he was gon na hand us nikolas and lomax . why do you think he changed his tune ? anna : i was wrong about sloane . i mean that ... he 's in deeper with nikolas than i thought . [ scene_break ] hayden : wait a second . you did n't actually steal that election , did you ? sloane : oh , yeah . no , he actually did . sorry to burst your bubble , but your benefactor here is not the upstanding citizen he 'd have you believe . hayden : so you both screw over the people of port charles by stealing this election , but nikolas is the one who 's dirty ? how does that work ? nikolas : i 'll tell you . see , ex - commissioner sloane likes to think that he lives on the moral high ground , but in reality , he 's just passing through . i mean , when he first arrived here in port charles , he was a man of justice . but only a few months after that , he sold his principles to mayor lomax . and when that did n't work out , he rented them to me . sloane : i do n't care what you do , your majesty , as long as you pay on time , in full . nikolas : which i have . sloane : up until today . but right now , i have not been duly compensated . nikolas : you confess that we conspired to tamper with a mayoral election . that 's a -- that 's a federal crime , even -- even in a local election , and i 'm supposed to compensate you ? sloane : hey , i took the heat from jake and sam ! nikolas : who are not members of nor have any professional affiliation with any law enforcement . do n't you get it , sloane ? you would n't have had to have lied if you would n't have sold me out to anna in the first place . so , do you think that i should pay you to be a target of some independent fbi / pcpd investigation ? sloane : yes , i do , because this job has cost me anna . [ scene_break ] anna : sloane is certainly not the man i thought he was . jordan : i 'm sorry to hear that . you know , on the bright side , he 's as guilty of election tampering as nikolas and lomax . and i may not be able to get them , at least not right away , but i can get him . [ anna 's flashback ] anna : you knew i was coming to see jordan . sloane : fix it . anna : i ca n't ! sloane : well , then i guess it 's pentonville for both us . we share another secret , anna -- a bigger one . you killed a man in cold blood . [ back to the present ] anna : actually , i do n't think you can . [ scene_break ] morgan : dad is in the er fighting for his life . it is julian 's fault . put this guy away ! julian : i beg your pardon , but i have done nothing wrong , so i will be taking my leave . right , detective ? dante : wrong . [ scene_break ] michael : for months , i 've been trying to hate you . trying to ... trying to be someone else -- someone who is not your son . and then ... i remembered what i knew all along -- that ... [ sighs ] ... that you 'll never give up on me . [ monitor beeping ] michael : that you 'll never give up on me , and that you 'll never stop loving me . and i will never stop loving you . you are my father . and for as long as i live , i will be your son . [ scene_break ] tj : i put sonny in a position to get shot . carly : did you force those men to kidnap you ? tj : no . carly : did you make it look like they forced you to make the call to get sonny to come to the warehouse -- where you masterminded the whole thing ? tj : [ sighs ] no , of course not . carly : then it 's not your fault . tj : but i was the bait . carly : exactly . if they had n't gone after you , they would have gone after someone else close to sonny , someone else he cared enough to come for . what sonny did for you , he would have done for any of his kids . okay ? tj : yeah . michael : [ sighs ] carly : how 's your dad ? michael : he 's , uh -- he 's still unconscious , but i think he knew i was there . carly : i 'm sure he did . [ chuckles ] michael : um ... you should -- should be with him . okay . [ monitor beeping ] carly : oh , sonny . there 's only one thing i want from you on our wedding day is to live . [ scene_break ] jordan : why ca n't i go after sloane ? he confessed to you . anna : well , it 's just my word , you know , and that would n't be enough to convict him . we need proof . jordan : no , your word is enough for me to secure a search warrant . i 'll have my people toss his place , and then , hopefully , we 'll find some collaborating evidence . [ anna 's flashback ] anna : you kept my gun ? you told me to give it to you so you could get rid of it that night . sloane : but i did n't . anna : why not ? sloane : [ scoffs ] insurance . anna : evidence like that is not gon na be hidden where it can easily be found . you know , um , so ... without proof ... the guilty will walk . [ scene_break ] nikolas : let me make sure i understand this correctly . you make a deal with anna to blackmail me into giving up elq . but then you double - cross her by lying to jake and sam . and , now , you want additional compensation , because you think it 's my fault that you ca n't get a date with anna . hayden : what i do n't understand is , you were trying to have a thing with the woman who was out to put you in jail ? what are you , a masochist , or are you just an idiot ? sloane : anna and i were becoming close . we could have had something real , but i got impatient with her and distracted by your money . i put my greed ahead of my future with a woman i was falling in love with . and i 'll regret that for the rest of my life . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you said sonny was bleeding heavily . i 'm sure he was just incoherent . he probably had no idea what he was saying . jason : no , he knew . i was trying to keep pressure on the wound when the paramedics showed up to take over . and , uh ... he grabbed my shirt , and he pulled me in to him . and he looked at me right in the face , and said to carly i love her . it was like sonny already knew that i 'd be the one to tell carly that he 'd been shot . [ scene_break ] sam : i was n't expecting jake to run toward the gunshot . but once he did , it was just like this instinct took over me . and -- and i went after him in case he needed backup . patrick : that 's what i 'm talking about , sam . that 's what scares me . y - your first instinct is to put your life at risk . and i -- i know that my fear is just selfish , but it comes from a place of wanting to keep you safe , wanting to keep you with me . look , i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe i 'm just gon na have to learn how to live with it . but sometimes , it 's gon na get the best of me . obviously , tonight is one of those nights . i 'm sorry . sam : do n't be . i -- i took a chance . you had a reaction . and we talked about it . and i do n't know about you , but i 'm -- i 'm feeling a little better about this . come on , patrick , is n't this what relationships are about ? are n't you supposed to talk the person you love , tell them how you 're feeling , have them actually hear you ? patrick : did you hear me ? sam : yes , i did . come on . just so you know , i want to keep you with me , too . [ scene_break ] julian : let me pass . dante : you 're staying put . julian : you know you ca n't do that , right ? you have nothing to connect me to sonny 's shooting . dante : you know a witness puts you in the vicinity at the time my father was attacked ? i get to hold you for 48 hours . julian : that 's ridiculous . morgan : no , that 's the law , jackass . julian : you know what , when alexis has me sprung , i 'm gon na school you on the law . morgan : you know what ? you better hope that you stay locked up . okay , that would be smart of you . lulu : morgan , you need to calm down . morgan : no , 'cause if i see you out , i 'm coming after you . julian : yeah , what are you gon na do ? are you gon na pout at me ? are you gon na sulk me to death ? you 're nothing but a petulant brat . morgan : you 're a coward . you 're a coward that could n't look at my dad when you shot him . lulu : enough ! go to the hospital and be with your father . morgan : this ai n't over . julian : yeah , i 'm not even listening anymore , man . dante : tell them i 'm gon na be there as soon as i can , okay . all right , i 'm gon na deal with him , and them i 'm gon na be there . morgan : please deal with him . let me tell you one more thing . bars or no bars , you 're gon na regret what you did to my dad . [ scene_break ] michael : any chance that this charlie guy was acting alone ? tj : he got a call from his boss right before he made me call your father . michael : well , did he mention this boss by name ? tj : no , but your father thought that charlie was working for julian jerome . michael : did charlie confirm this ? tj : i mean , he did n't come outright and say it , but i think something must have gone wrong . because your father kept saying how charlie 's boss bailed on him and left him in a trick bag by not showing up . and that 's when charlie started panicking , and your father got the gun away from him . michael : okay , then what happened ? tj : then he held the gun on charlie and told him to untie me , and that 's when he got shot . michael : did you see the shooter ? tj : no , but i heard the shot , and then i saw you father look down at his chest , man , and it was all red , and he fell to his knees . i mean , he was so hurt . i have no idea how a person can come back from something like that . michael : my father can . he 'll find a way . [ scene_break ] carly : when you asked me to marry you , you said that our first loyalty has always been to each other , and there 's no sense pretending that we 're not in this together for life . and you 're right . you 're my life partner , and i love you . sonny , you need to listen to me . you ... you 're in bad shape , and i need you to fight . and i 'm right here and i 'm not going anywhere , and i am fighting with you . and we are going to get through this the same way we have gotten through everything , and that 's together . [ scene_break ] jordan : anna , you 've never given up this easily . what 's going on ? anna : i 'm just being objective . i can see where this is headed , and it 's not worth it . you know , if you pursue sloane , you are just gon na end up on the top of lomax 's enemies list , and we both know how that ends . jordan : okay , you do have a point , but is n't it worth the risk ? anna : no , not if there 's no reward , and the only certainty we would have is that you would lose your job . i just want to drop it for now . jordan : i will table this investigation , at least until i find another way to go after sloane . anna : i really wish i had thought this through before i got you involved . jordan : you acted in good faith , okay ? and i 'm just sorry that sloane ended up being such a dud . anna : not half as sorry as i am . jordan : look , i feel awful . i feel awful that i pushed you to make a go of it . thank god you did n't listen to me . anna : well ... actually , i did . i -- i did . i gave a great deal of thought to what you said , and you 're right . jordan : but i was n't . anna : no . i do need to take a chance ... just not with sloane . [ scene_break ] hayden : i feel for you . sloane : you do ? hayden : yeah . you squandered your shot at love for money . i mean , you 're practically a tragic figure . nikolas : or just tragic . hayden : oh , come on . do n't tell me you 've never been in that position before . nikolas : [ scoffs ] losing a woman because i told contradictory lies about ballot tampering ? no , not yet . hayden : no , i mean , come on , like having to choose between some terrible obligation and someone you love . i mean , have you no sympathy for him ? nikolas : i have money for him . and we 'll talk about the particulars of that tomorrow . sloane : that 's all i wanted . ms. barnes . hayden : hey . do n't give up on this , um , anna . sloane : if i thought i had a chance , i would n't . hayden : poor guy . nikolas : poor guy ? he -- he would have blackmailed me if i did n't pony up . hayden : well , he was making the best out of a bad situation . nikolas : of his own making . hayden : think of all that he did for you , nikolas -- sacrificing his shot at love out of loyalty for his boss . nikolas : we need to get you some better magazines . hayden : i 'm serious ! does n't that sacrifice mean anything to you ? does love matter to you ? [ scene_break ] jason : sonny was looking right at me . and he was talking to me , but he treated me like a -- like a friend , like somebody he trusted . and that 's ... certainly not how he treated me before . and i felt -- i do n't know , i felt -- i felt responsible . like i was more than obligated to help him , like i -- like i could n't stand to lose him . elizabeth : well , for nurses and -- and paramedics , w - we experience that with trauma patients . you connect with the person . and i 'm sure for you , that -- that feeling was perfectly natural . jason : yeah , well , i can tell you it certainly did n't feel like that . look , i 'm gon na take a shower . you know , i do n't want the boys to see me like this . elizabeth : i know that would upset them . jason : yeah , it would , and , um ... do you mind watching my phone in case the cops call or in case somebody calls about sonny ? elizabeth : yeah , sure . jason : thanks . elizabeth : yeah , and , jake ... this was just a one - time thing , right ? you 're not gon na make a habit of getting involved in shoot outs ? 'cause i do n't know what i 'd do if you 'd been hurt . jason : hey , hey , hey , hey . lucky for both of us , i was n't hurt , i 'm not gon na get hurt , i 'm not going anywhere . okay ? okay . i need a shower . elizabeth : okay . [ scene_break ] sam : i care about my father . i care about sonny . but the mob , the danger , the power struggle , that 's -- that 's the life that i had with -- with jason . and i 'm with you now , and i 'm happy -- in a way i never even thought was possible . patrick : you do n't miss the adrenaline ? sam : [ sighs ] i do n't miss the fear . i do n't miss what carly is going through right now -- loving somebody , sitting by their side , praying that they 're gon na live , and knowing that if they do , nothing is gon na change . everything 's just gon na go back to the way things were . he 's gon na target his enemies before they target him . but i ... [ sighs ] i understand why she stays . i do . i get that she loves him . but ... hey , i love you . i love you -- the brilliant surgeon who saves lives instead of taking them . and this -- this is the life i want -- with you . [ scene_break ] carly : we 're so much alike . i think that 's why we fight the way we do . we 're both stubborn and selfish . and once we make up our minds , no one can change it . but most of all , we 're survivors , and we can survive this . we can survive this . [ sniffles ] [ monitor beeping ] carly : i am gon na get you a new one of these . [ chuckles ] so when we exchange our vows , you 're gon na be ready . 'cause our wedding is not cancelled . it 's just postponed for a little while till you 're up and you 're moving around . and then we 're gon na have even more of a reason to celebrate . you 're gon na tell everybody that you are back . and that 's gon na happen soon . i know it . tj : uh , ms. jacks , would it be okay for me to see him ? carly : oh , yeah . he would really like that . he 's gon na make it . michael : i know he is . carly : but he 's gon na need us . michael : mm - hmm , i 'm not going anywhere . carly : okay . morgan : hey , how 's dad doing ? michael : uh , still no change . carly : where 've you been ? morgan : i went down to the pd to see dante . they got that piece of dirt julian in custody . [ scene_break ] dante : you 've just been implicated in a shooting . i 'm fully authorized to hold you . julian : well , then you 've got to hold olivia , too , right ? i mean -- lulu : that 's ridiculous . julian : i mean , she was down at the docks with me . maybe she took a shot at sonny . lulu : olivia has no motive . julian : oh , really ? she 's sonny 's ex . he cheated on her . lulu : that was ages ago . julian : men like sonny , they never change . you better watch out , lulu . you know , i hope dante here did n't inherit his father 's wandering eye , huh ? [ grunts when dante punches him in the face ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : love is n't for me . hayden : [ scoffs ] yeah , right . nikolas : excuse me ? hayden : you ca n't fool me . i see you . nikolas : really ? hayden : mm - hmm . nikolas : and what do you see ? hayden : i see a man who 's been in love before , a man who 's afraid to go there again . you 've been hurt ... badly . nikolas : so ? who has n't ? hayden : was it me ? did i hurt you ? nikolas : actually it was the other way around .

[ monitor beeping ] morgan : dad . i 'm sorry this happened , dad . it 's my fault . i should have gone with you . i should 've protected you . now look at you . look at what julian 's done to you .

[ both laugh ] ava : yeah . yeah , it 's gon na cost him a pretty penny , for sure . lulu : good . you know , on behalf of spencer and my mother , we just want to say thank you for agreeing to testify in the wrongful - death suit against valentin . it just means so much to my family to get some measure of justice . ava : for nikolas . lulu : thank you . valentin : [ speaks russian ] uh , listen , we 're all set . the woman in question should arrive tomorrow . and i trust that you will deal with her ... as we discussed .

[ scene_break ] dante : ava sold valentin a tapestry ? lulu : she had pictures of it and everything , but i 'm not convinced . when i asked her about it , she got ... strangely emotional . basically , she said that she lost so much in the fire , she needed to have something to show for it . dante : the money from the sale ? lulu : i hope that 's all . i - i could n't press her . we need ava 's statement for spencer 's wrongful - death suit . dante : you 're convinced that if spencer wins the suit , that 'll affect charlotte 's custody ? lulu : how could it not ? dante : the last time we tried to submit a statement that ava made in the last custody hearing , it went nowhere with the judge . lulu : well , i know , but if a jury finds valentin guilty of wrongful death , judge rawles will have to take that into consideration .

[ scene_break ] griffin : hey , i 'm sorry . i know you were just trying to defuse a difficult situation , but ... i ca n't talk about jason 's condition without specific permission from sam . sonny : well , i did n't invite you here to have a - a doctor / patient confidentiality conversation . i need to ask you ... a spiritual question . griffin : how about we talk about something safer , like boxing ? sonny : all right . yesterday , when we were both in the gym , we were blowing off steam . griffin : yeah . sonny : but we never asked each other why . griffin : well , i just figured you were working off your frustrations about jason . sonny : yeah , yeah . it 's on me . i - i sh -- i knew better than to get out of the life . the question i want to ask is ... why did n't god punish me instead of jason ? griffin : i really do n't feel comfortable speaking for god . sonny : why ? is n't that part of the job ? [ scene_break ] ava : i found the most wonderful spa in st. petersburg . kiki : i hope you mean florida . ava : they cater to clients with conditions such as mine . kiki : that 's great , but is n't florida kind of a long way to go for a hot - rock massage and a mani - pedi ? ava : kiki , gh ca n't be my only safe space . and you 've said it yourself . i have to branch out . kiki : i did say that . ava : yeah , you did . and going to this spa will be like dipping my toe into the water . kiki : [ laughs ] ava : and from what i understand , this is -- this would be a once - in - a - lifetime experience . kiki : well , if it 's that amazing , i 'm just gon na have to come with you . ava : mm ... that would be great , but you ca n't . you 're right in the middle of applying for that accelerated medical program , right ? yeah . you do n't want dr. bensch to think you 're not serious about it . kiki : i know . you 're right . when do you think you 're gon na be back ? ava : the moment i feel like a brand - new woman . and you really think that a trip to the spa can do that for you ? ava : kiki , if i stay here , i 'm just gon na be hiding behind this mask , you know ? and i can not keep spinning my wheels . especially if there 's something out there for me that could bring me happiness , that could bring me peace . you understand that , do n't you ? kiki : of course . hey , have you talked to dr. hoffman about this ? ava : i 'll send her a postcard . kiki : [ laughs ] all right . well , you definitely mentioned it to griffin . what did he think ? ava : oh , you know , dr. munro is busy doing the lord 's work .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : no one wants to take jason away from you . carly : no , no . it 's the opposite . they just want to make sure you have as much time as possible . sam : why am i even listening to the two of you ? i mean , it 's almost funny when you think about it , because here i am , about to lose jason , and i 'm -- i 'm terrified . and i 'm -- i 'm listening to the two people who wanted to keep me away from him . elizabeth : i think it 's best if i get back to work . sam : yeah , you do that . that 's a good idea . carly : hey . sam : what ? carly : if you do n't want people to think you 're crazy , then you need to stop acting crazy . sam : oh , come on , carly . really ? carly : you need to get your head on straight and focus , and stop thinking about the time that 's gone ! sam : oh , you mean the time that you and elizabeth took away from me ? carly : so what ? it 's gone ! who cares ? you need to think about the time that you have left , sam . and if putting jason in a long - term facility is what the doctors -- sam : a long - term facility ? what are you saying ? you do n't think i can take care of him ? carly : that 's not what i 'm saying at all . sam : y - you do n't think i have the -- the love and the encouragement that it takes to get him to open his eyes ? what am i supposed to do , huh ? hire a nurse ? oh , wait . i - i should get an intern out of med school . oh ! oh , i get it ! you want it to be you , do n't you ? admit it , carly ! you want jason all to yourself .

[ emily laughs ] emily : i 'll -- i 'll be right there , okay ? nikolas : okay . emily : hey , alexis , you know , for what it 's worth , the thing about cancer is you ca n't control it , so you start looking for what you can control -- you know , situations , other people -- which is fine if it helps you cope . but what i learned is that if you can be honest about what you 're feeling and why , it makes it so much easier on everyone , especially you . bye .

[ robin laughs ] robin : it also reaffirmed everything that i love about her . she embraces life , she takes chances , and i do n't . i 'm not like that , so , you know , what am i missing by being so safe and cautious ? when my mom got pregnant with me , it was totally by accident . it was the worst possible time to have a child , but she decided to do it anyway . she had to hide me for the first six years of my life and work as a jewelry fence to support me . but she did n't look back . she did it because she loves being my mother , and i love being her daughter . so , i do n't know why . i guess i 'm just asking myself , what am i facing that 's even close to what my mother was facing ? lainey : robin , you want to have a baby . robin : i do n't know . i am thinking that possibly i might want to do that someday , but patrick wo n't even discuss it . we had a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago , and i have to admit , there was a part of me that was hoping that i would accidentally be pregnant . lainey : but you 're not pregnant ? robin : no -- and patrick practically did backflips . he was so relieved . so what kind of future do we have if i want to have a child and he does n't ?
