[ playing piano ] anthony : what 's with all the doom and gloom ? you 're depressing me . and clearly , i 'm not the only one . would it kill you to lighten things up a little ? maybe play some sinatra once in a while ? johnny : yeah , well , you know where the door is . and you can take your house plants with you . anthony : orchids , john , orchids . how many times do i have to tell you ? and i 'm surprised they have n't all turned black from being force - fed concertos to cut yourself by . johnny : you know what 's depressing ? learning that you 're doing deals behind my back . that 's depressing . anthony : it 's called being proactive . take a lesson . johnny : yeah . you keep pushing sonny 's buttons , you 're going to take a lesson in what it 's like to be dead . anthony : well , look at the bright side . if i do wind up dead , you can play your little doomsday aria at my funeral . [ cell phone rings ] anthony : yeah ? darryl : it 's me . i 'm at the bakery . we got a serious problem . i need to know how you want to handle this . anthony : i 'll be right over . do n't go anywhere . johnny : hot date ? anthony : not yet , but the night is young . do n't wait up . [ scene_break ] olivia : hey , lulu . lulu : hi . olivia : hi . i was going to ask you how things were going with you and dante , but i guess judging by the look on your face , maybe i should mind my own business . [ lulu sighs ] olivia : here . come here . [ scene_break ] kate : well , perhaps you do n't know whom you 're speaking to . i am kate howard , founder and publisher of crimson magazine . i just flew in from paris , and i -- no , my arms are not tired , and i 'm not amused by your adolescent attempt at humor . that might work on my thinning staff at what used to be my last bastion of defense , the front desk , but not on me . you can not afford to call me back in a timely fashion , you can tell donatella that -- scratch that -- that i wo n't free up the time that she requested for a feature on her new accessories line . oh , you do n't have to see it my way . you just have to do it my way . maxie . do i have a prayer that anybody might actually be working here ? [ scoffs ] what the hell ? [ scene_break ] carly : morgan 's fine . he 's safe . but you already know that , do n't you ? yeah . the headmaster from the military school called me and told me all about your little visit , how you showed up trying to throw around money and threats . it 's not going to work . that 's why he 's there . you ca n't get to him . sonny : then i guess i 'm going to have to figure out a way to get to you . [ scene_break ] edward : oh . skye : oh . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to wake you . edward : oh . ha . are n't you supposed to be on a plane somewhere ? [ scene_break ] olivia : honey , just come . sit . what happened ? did my son screw up again ? lulu : no . it 's -- it 's nothing new , nothing other than what 's already happened . olivia : ok . so you guys are fighting . lulu : [ sighs ] we broke up . olivia : oh . my son is an idiot . lulu : no , it 's not him . he tried very hard to convince me to stay . he bought me flowers . he offered to take me to a nice dinner . olivia : well , at least he listens to me . lulu : what ? olivia : he came to me for advice the other day about the whole nameplate situation . i gave him a couple of pointers . but honestly , it sounds like maybe your mind was already made up ? lulu : no , no , no . i -- he lied to me about something , and he said under the same circumstances , he would do it again . olivia : oh . can i ask what was the lie about ? lulu : it was about my brother . he 's in trouble , and i ca n't be with someone who ca n't be completely honest with me . that 's how my dad was with my mom . he moved to the suburbs to make her happy , but it was a lie . he was never really happy . and i do n't want to be in a relationship with someone that feels like they need to put on a happy face and not say what they 're really feeling . olivia : honey , dante meant well . he came to talk to me for advice about this . he would n't even tell me what the secret was about . i know that it was killing him to not be straight with you about it . lulu : yeah , but people who love each other should n't keep secrets . olivia : i agree . i 'm dante 's mother , so i know i 'm biased . but honestly , if dante not coming clean with you about lucky is really the deal breaker here , i got to tell you , i think your expectations might be a little bit high . and i would hate to see you wind up all alone because of it . [ scene_break ] molly : hey . where 's jason ? sam : hey . they just took him to run a couple more tests . he 'll be back soon . come on in . molly : everything 's awful , is n't it ? sam : hey . i know you 're worried about krissy . i am , too . but we have to try and focus and be positive and hope she gets out of recovery soon . molly : well , it 's not just the surgery . things are about to get a lot worse between kristina , uncle sonny , and mom . sam : why ? molly : mom thinks kristina got her bone fragment from all the time . kiefer hit her , but i think it might have been the car bomb that uncle sonny set to try to kill johnny . sam : well , molly , it 's too soon to jump to conclusions . molly : i know . but what if it 's true ? what if kristina 's own dad is the one who put her in here ? [ scene_break ] carly : are you threatening me now ? i mean , is that it ? is that what it 's come to -- you 're trying to threaten me ? sonny : you know i 'd never hurt you , carly . carly : you do n't think josslyn growing up without her father hurts me ? you do n't think that hurts , sonny ? sonny : how many times have we gone over this ? i acted to protect your daughter . if you do n't like my methods , there 's nothing i can do about that . but as far as morgan 's concerned , i want to see him , that 's all . i should be able to see him . carly : ok , fine . you know when you can see him ? in november , when he comes home for thanksgiving . that 's when i get to see him . and you can stop by . but i am done protecting morgan from who you really are . i 'm not going to make the same mistake that i made with michael . sonny : you want to turn morgan against me , and you want to pay me back for what happened with jax . carly : no , morgan is old enough to make his own decisions , all right ? i 'm going to tell him the truth , so whatever decision he makes , he will be well informed . sonny : do n't do this , 'cause you 're making it worse for everybody . carly : i 'm making it worse ? sonny : yes , you are . carly : why are you so obsessed with morgan ? is n't kristina having major surgery right now ? should n't you be focusing on her ? you know why you 're not ? because i 'm telling you -- you ca n't see morgan , and you always want what you ca n't have . go be with your daughter . alexis has given you complete access . go worry about kristina . leave morgan alone . sonny : hey , listen . listen . shawn : hey , hey . you need to back off , or i 'll back you off . [ scene_break ] skye : so what 's this plane i 'm supposed to be on ? edward : the quartermaine jet . ethan was here a few hours ago pleading with me to have it all fueled and on the runway , ready to take off and help a damsel in distress . and i could only assume that you are the damsel , and that you have done something that dictated a getaway . skye : it 's been handled . edward : does ethan know that ? he seemed very worried . skye : i do n't need ethan to know any more . i 've already involved him way too much as it is . edward : oh , i think he 's already involved , at least , in his head . skye : oh , he 's a beautiful young man , though . truly , the best of his father . edward : well , the worst of all the spencers is gone for good , i 'm happy to say . i always thought you deserved better . skye : oh , really ? what about tracy ? edward : well , tracy seems to enjoy her own problems . she likes getting herself into them and then back out of it . skye : funny you should mention that . i have a proposition for you . edward : oh . why am i not surprised ? all right . i 'm listening . skye : i came into some highly sensitive information . tracy 's about to get hit in the face with the harsh slap of reality -- sooner rather than later . edward : oh , god . what 's she done now ? skye : i 'm more concerned about you and the fallout . brace yourself . it 's not pretty . [ scene_break ] sonny : what the hell are you still doing here ? she does n't need a guard . jax is n't a threat anymore . carly : you made sure of that . sonny : just like you made sure i ca n't see my son . bring morgan home , carly -- carly : i do n't take orders from you , sonny , at all . sonny : i 'm not gon na play these games . he 's my son . carly : it 's not a game . shawn : i do n't think -- sonny : ok . this is none of your business . you need to back away . back . carly : i 'm fine . shawn , honey , i 'm -- i 'm good , ok ? i 'm fine . shawn : is n't your daughter in surgery , hmm ? and did n't you do enough damage the last time you pulled out your gun ? sonny : does carly know that you just stood by and watched jax take her daughter , and you did n't -- you 're this bodyguard -- carly : stop . just stop . stop , or you 're not seeing morgan again . sonny : ok . we 're not done here by a long shot . carly : yeah . ok . [ scene_break ] lulu : so you 're saying i need to get used to lies if i want to be in a relationship ? olivia : no , no . i 'm not saying that . it 's more just bending with the wind , you know ? you got to remember to weigh the bad against the good when you 're thinking about walking away from someone . you guys got a lot of good . i know that my son is stubborn . i know that . just look where he gets it from but he 's got a good heart . look what he does every day for a living . he goes out there , and he helps people . lulu : but i 'm honestly starting to think if he had to choose between his job and me , he 'd choose his job . olivia : no , no , no , honey . he loves you too much for that . and he 's loyal . he would never leave you . and that 's got to count for something . [ cell phone rings ] lulu : i 'm sorry . olivia : it 's ok . it 's ok . lulu : it 's maxie . i 'm sorry . i got to -- hey . what 's up ? i do n't work for kate anymore . no , i 'm not having a romantic reunion . i 'm heading home . ok . ok . fine . i 'll head into the office now . you owe me . yeah . bye . um , i got to go . i 'm sorry . maxie 's in a jam , and kate had a little emergency or something . olivia : talk about someone who 's always got issues , that 'd be my cousin connie . lulu : yeah . i ca n't wait to see her again . olivia : i guess i get to apologize for all of my family members today . no one understands better than me how impossible she can be , so sorry about that . lulu : i just hope it 's quick . thank you for , you know , this thing . olivia : honey , anytime , ok ? i got my fingers crossed for you kids , and please , just think about what i said , ok ? lulu : i will . olivia : ok . lulu : bye . olivia : bye . olivia : hey . johnny : hey . olivia : what are you doing , following me ? johnny : no . i 'm actually following my father . [ scene_break ] anthony : you were followed here by a nurse ? shaking a tail is not rocket science . i just sent my own kid walking around in circles . darryl : i did n't know she was on me . anthony : oh , you did n't know . how the hell could you not know ? she works for the hospital , not the damn cia . and why the hell was she following you in the first place ? speak up . i could n't hear that . joey : he was too busy skimming pills to notice . anthony : idiot . you and your pill problem are going to blow this entire operation for me . darryl : i 'm sorry . it will never happen again , i swear . anthony : you 're damn right it will never happen again . now i got to clean up your mess . question is , what am i going to do about it ? [ scene_break ] olivia : so you 're following your father around ? that ca n't be good . johnny : yeah , well , i bet you 're about the last person who wants to hear about it , so . olivia : why do n't you try me ? take my mind off my own troubles . johnny : well , he 's acting out , pushing sonny 's buttons , and it 's , in turn , pushing the limits of this truce we got , to say the least . olivia : oh . men like anthony , you ca n't really be surprised , right ? johnny : he 's been -- ever since his curious release from pentonville , he 's been -- i do n't know . he 's initiated this unspoken power struggle . he 's ' going behind my back , pulling strings . he 's using old connections . it 's not good . olivia : a man like anthony 's not going to give up power very easily -- i mean , if at all , so . johnny : the worst thing about it is that he thrives in this state of chaos . it 's what makes him feel normal . and you know , he thinks i 'm nuts and soft for having a truce with sonny . and i 'm telling you , if i 'm being honest , i 'd rather just walk away from the entire situation and move away , start somewhere fresh , you know ? olivia : yeah . johnny : but there are still people here that i care about , and i know if i move away , all hell 's going to break loose , so . olivia : so basically , you 're giving up living life on your own terms so you can stay here and try to manage a situation that you have got no possibility of controlling ? johnny : well , i got a line out on something , and if it pans out , then that will afford me the opportunity to walk . olivia : you 've said that before . you never get very far . so what do you think 's going to make this time any different ? [ scene_break ] anthony : i know she already saw this genius . did she get a good look at you , too ? joey : no . i mean , i do n't think she did . anthony : you do n't think she did , or you know she did n't ? which is it ? joey : i grabbed her from behind . i let darryl put the blindfold on her so we would n't both be made . anthony : wow . somebody actually put their thinking cap on before coming into work . i 'm impressed . darryl : i 'm sorry . anthony : did n't i tell you to keep your mouth shut ? you are becoming a liability to me . and now , you leave me no choice . darryl : please , mr.- anthony : shh . you 're not the sharpest tool in the shed , are you ? for right now , i 'm not going to hurt you . you can consider this your lucky day . any more mistakes , they 'll be your last . [ scene_break ] shawn : it 's decaf . i figured you were wired enough as it is . carly : you know , you always have this uncanny way of showing up when i need you . shawn : yeah . i do n't like bullies . never have . and that 's exactly what sonny is . carly : are you here to tell me that you 're going to take the job at pcu ? shawn : sorry . like i said , i 've got my own lead to follow up on . carly : oh . are you here about a job at gh ? shawn : in a manner of speaking . carly : you either are or you 're not . shawn : let 's just say i 'm waiting to speak to the man in charge . carly : in this case , it 'd be a woman , 'cause robin scorpio is chief of staff . shawn : there you go again , making assumptions . carly : why do n't you clear it up for me ? although i ca n't understand why you 'd rather be a janitor than a professor . that does n't really make much sense to me . shawn : a janitor , huh ? carly : you 're not a doctor . shawn : those are my only two options ? carly : you 're not a doctor . are you going and try to work in the lab or something ? shawn : i tell you what . if i get hired anywhere , i 'll make sure i let you know . but until then , there 's really no point in talking about it . carly : you do n't talk about anything . you did n't even tell me that you were living above kelly 's . shawn : you did n't ask . carly : no , you did n't want me to know , 'cause you did n't want me putting you up at the hotel in a nicer room . shawn : i do n't need a nicer room . carly : i do n't believe that . i do n't . i think you 're staying at kelly 's because you 're trying to prove something , just like you were trying to prove something with not taking the job . shawn : no , i do n't have anything to prove , which is actually the best position to be in . carly : why ca n't you tell me something ? are you trying to drive me crazy ? shawn : no , but i am trying to take your mind off things with sonny . and i think i 'm doing a pretty good job so far , do n't you ? carly : mmm . [ scene_break ] kate : where 's maxie ? lulu : she had something important to take care of , so she asked me to fill in . kate : more important than her job ? lulu : nothing is more important to maxie than her job . kate : well , her absence would indicate otherwise . and what makes you think you 're an acceptable substitute ? you quit as my second assistant , a job that thousands of girls would kill to have . and now , i 'm supposed to , what , rely on you because maxie needs a favor ? lulu : ok . if you do n't want my help , i 'm more than happy to go . kate : oh , no , no . you 're not going to go anywhere until you deal with that . [ scene_break ] molly : dr. drake said kristina 's bone fragment was most likely caused by a fall . sam : ok . well , kiefer beat kristina so bad , she ended up in the hospital twice . molly : i know mom wants to blame kiefer for this , but i do n't think we should rule out uncle sonny , either . he did plant that bomb in johnny 's car . the bone fragment could have happened when the explosion knocked her over . i 'm sure she hit the cement pretty hard . and i 'm also sure that you know better than anyone just how powerful a bomb blast can be . sam : no , no , i do . i do . but the truth is we are never gon na know for sure , so we really should n't waste any time speculating . it 's not going to change kristina 's condition . molly : i guess you 're right . sam : can you do me a favor ? can you leave this theory between the two of us when krissy wakes up ? she needs to focus on her recovery . and i have a feeling if krissy finds out that sonny might be responsible for this , it could ruin their relationship for good . [ scene_break ] johnny : you said a minute ago that talking to me would help you forget about your own problems . everything all right with steve ? olivia : i think you and i are not going to discuss me and steve . johnny : all right . well , for what it 's worth , he seems like a pretty stand - up guy . he 's smart , too . i know you 're safer with him , but are you happier ? olivia : that 's a pretty big question about something that we are not going to discuss . johnny : fair enough . ca n't blame me for asking , though . olivia : john , you need to start taking care of yourself , ok ? before you make any promises to anyone , you ask yourself how it 's going to affect you first . [ scene_break ] anthony : there she is , miss elq herself . tracy : i have security on speed dial . anthony : [ laughs ] i like you . you got spunk . it 's a good quality -- one that 's severely lacking in most people these days . tracy : i do n't appreciate you just showing up here . i do n't have time for your maniacal ramblings . i 'm a busy woman . anthony : even busy women have to eat . come on in , emilio . tracy : what is this ? anthony : [ chuckles ] dinner . it 's something two people share when they 're getting to know each other . i figured we could sit down like the equals we are . [ scene_break ] skye : tracy 's done an excellent job of keeping her financial secrets buried until now . edward : i always thought she did something , but i preferred to look the other way . skye : well , she 's about to get hit in a big way . but i intend to make sure you 're protected . edward : how ? elq is synonymous with the quartermaines . skye : i 've already looked into it . we shelter the bulk of elq from anthony . edward : is that even possible ? skye : yes . we temporarily move elq 's assets into another corporate structure , leaving tracy 's subsidiaries to be taken by anthony . i 'm sure he 'll take her for all she 's worth , but what matters is that you will be protected . edward : hmm . i suppose i should feel bad for tracy , but i find difficulty in summoning up any sympathy for her . she 's the one who got herself , and my company , into this mess . skye : is n't that her specialty ? edward : i do n't know . she 's always been able to handle herself with the men who were after her money . look at luke . skye : hey . maybe i should go try to find luke . i 'll make a play for him again just to get under her skin . edward : oh , no , no , no . i strongly suggest against that . see , you , you 're in a bit of a predicament with the spencer men . you 're still carrying a torch for luke , and his son has just lit one for you . skye : oh , i do n't feel any romantic attraction for ethan . that does n't mean that i ca n't have fun flirting and considering the possibilities . edward : be careful . you 're playing with fire . skye : mmm . and is n't that my specialty . [ scene_break ] lulu : how long has he been like this ? kate : he was here when i showed up . just remove him , then pull some clothes for the photo shoot in the morning and reschedule my lunch with christian . oh , and call federico and find out why he has n't seen the proofs yet . lulu : i do n't work here anymore , remember ? kate : but your good friend maxie does , right ? well , if you want her to continue working here , then i suggest you get busy , ok ? first thing 's first . remove him , or i 'll have him removed . lulu : uh ... spinelli ? it 's me . it 's lulu . moonlight . you ok ? spinelli : gracious greetings , blonde one . lulu : oh , my god . is it really you ? are you back to normal ? spinelli : yeah , it 's me . lulu : that 's great . that 's amazing . that 's wonderful . spinelli : alas , it is not wonderful at all . [ scene_break ] molly : do you think it 's worse to have a dad who 's not around at all , like mine , or one who is but who 's horrible , like uncle sonny ? sam : well , look , i think it 's ok for you to be angry with your uncle sonny , but it does n't cancel out every good thing that he 's ever done . molly : kristina thinks it does . sam : why is kristina so hard on sonny ? hmm . i think it 's because she is exactly like him . they are both emotional , and when they get angry , they lock onto something and nothing can talk them down . molly : is uncle sonny that way because he 's bipolar ? sam : well , i mean , yeah , i think part of it is because of that , and the other part is his personality , just like kristina . i mean , they 're both very stubborn , and they both want their own way all the time . and , i think kristina does n't realize that the harder she is on her father , the worse she 's making it for herself . molly : that car bomb was not kristina 's fault . sam : ok , look , i know , but what i 'm trying to say is krissy might not understand that people are using her to get to sonny . sonny is a very , very powerful man . his children make him vulnerable . molly : well , if uncle sonny 's so powerful and people want to hurt him through his kids , then why does n't he do a better job of protecting them ? [ scene_break ] lulu : so you remember that i 'm lulu , not moonlight ? you remember sam and jason and maxie ? spinelli : yeah . i remember it all . lulu : that is such a huge relief . i mean , people were worried , especially maxie . do you even remember doing the whole jackal pi thing ? spinelli : it was a unique experience . i -- i know who i am , or ... was . but my time as jackal pi is kind of scattered in pieces . it 's like i was beside myself watching this whole other person 's life play out . lulu : wow . i mean , it was kind of fun in the beginning , but then i was a little concerned when you kept doing it that you would act like that forever . spinelli : i remember being in the sewer with maximista . we were looking for something . lulu : a ring . spinelli : yes , uh , fair samantha 's engagement ring . that 's right . lulu : do you remember anything else ? spinelli : um ... i remember being in dangerous proximity to anthony zacchara . lulu : you pulled a gun on him . spinelli : which is absolutely insane . normally , the demented one would send the jackal cowering to the nearest corner . but jackal pi was n't afraid . he ... he was stronger . better . lulu : no , come on . he 's not better . he 's a part of you . he still is . [ scene_break ] anthony : excuse me . tracy : do you mind ? anthony : not in the least . tracy : i was working on that . anthony : well , it 's time for a break . i enjoy pampering the women in my life . tracy : let 's get something straight . i 'm not in your life and i will never be one of your women . anthony : you 'll be the only one . you should at least leave yourself open to the possibility . tracy : you 're not my type . anthony : is that right ? so enlighten me . what is your type ? tracy : the opposite of you . anthony : come on . give me some parameters at least . maybe a few things i could work on . tracy : uh - huh . i do n't have enough paper for the list . anthony : oh , you 're tough . why do n't we eat . [ sniffs ] mmm , does n't this smell delicious ? tracy : i 'm not hungry . more than that , i 'm not impressed . so why do n't you stop wasting my time and tell me what you 're after . anthony : all in due time , my dear . there 's no reason to spoil the fine gourmet meal or the mood with premature indigestion . [ scene_break ] edward : anthony zacchara is ruthless . if you limit his take by sheltering too much of elq , what 's to keep him from turning on you ? skye : anthony and i have come to an understanding of sorts . he 's given me some assurances . edward : he 's a thug . he is a few rungs lower than corinthos , if that 's possible . his word means nothing . you are risking your life if you do business with him . skye : oh , come on , grandfather , it 's not like his circle is foreign to me , you know . i was with lorenzo . i had his child . edward : you loved lorenzo . anthony 's using you just as a means to an end . skye : who 's to say i 'm not using him ? i 'm sorry , grandfather . i 'm sorry it got to be such a mess . i really should have handled this better , protected you from the beginning , but ... i had a selfish moment . edward : we all have them , my dear . well , anyway , the jet is readied for you , and the pilot has been given instructions to take you anywhere you say with no questions asked . skye : thank you . edward : promise me one thing ? you wo n't be a stranger . please bring lila rae . skye : i promise . edward : and , skye ... please be careful . you do n't know what anthony might be planning . [ scene_break ] molly : johnny ! are you here to see kristina ? johnny : no . something with your sister ? molly : yeah , she 's having an operation . johnny : i 'm sorry to hear that . what kind of operation ? molly : well , there 's a bone chip in her spine . i think it happened when your car blew up . johnny : oh , wow . you must be pretty worried about her . let me ask you , is your uncle sonny here ? molly : he was with kristina when they came to take her for the operation . he said he was gon na stay . johnny : ok , well , he 's probably understandably pretty messed up right now , and he would n't like it if he found out that i was here , so you ca n't tell him , all right ? molly : ok . johnny : but i want to help . do you have a cell phone ? something ? molly : yeah . right here . johnny : i 'm gon na put my number in here . and i want you to call me when kristina 's out of surgery . ok ? tell her that i 'll come visit her , i 'll help her , whatever she needs . molly : ok , i 'll tell her . johnny : ok . you remember , you ca n't say a word . molly : do n't worry . i can keep a secret . johnny : all right . prove it . [ molly laughs ] [ scene_break ] lulu : so , what 's going on ? are you looking for maxie ? spinelli : maximista said the stars would align . something about the stars . they mean something . lulu : what do you -- what do you mean ? spinelli : i do n't know . i -- i ca n't remember . i just know that they 're the key to something . kate : [ sighs ] why is he still here ? lulu : i 'm working on it . kate : have you even spoken to federico yet ? lulu : no , i have n't , and i 'm not going to until i find out my friend is ok . and if you have a problem with that , i do n't care . kate : well , well , someone seems to have grown a spine . huh . let me know if you want your job back . it 'll be waiting for you . now , if you would , i need my office ! lulu . you want maxie to keep her job , you get me federico before you take spinelli home . close the doors . lulu : ok . give me one second . this will be really quick . i promise . kate howard for federico . wait -- spinelli , spinelli , wait , wait !

[ sighs ] molly : but is n't that why you turned to john ? because you were mad at jason ? sam : no . no , there was just -- there was something about john , and i knew it was more than just friendship . molly : so , what if , sam ? sam : what if what ? molly : what if somehow we survive all this ? who do you want to be with ? jason or john ? steve : are you sure you 're not just saying this now because of how ewen turned out to be ? i mean , jason did save your life . elizabeth : [ sighs ] steve : maybe what you 're feeling is gratitude . elizabeth : he saved my life before , and i also saved his . we have a lot of history . steve : that 's one way of putting it . elizabeth : i 'm not talking just about jake . this goes years back . when i was grieving for lucky , jason was the only person i could turn to . he was the only one who would listen to me without trying to fix things or diminish how i felt . it 's always been like that . we go in and out of each other 's lives ... and my feelings for him ... never really go away . steve : does he feel the same way ? elizabeth : sometimes , i think he does . steve : you think ? i take it you have n't talked to him about this . elizabeth : i just tried to . but john mcbain and sam came in and interrupted , and then i -- i did n't . steve : well , maybe that was for the best . elizabeth : i know you do n't approve of jason . steve : look , i 'm not judging the guy . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] steve : but your lives are completely incompatible . he 's a career criminal , and his life is steeped in violence , and you 're way too good of a mother to expose your kids to that . elizabeth : and now we 're all gon na die because of a pathogen jerry put in the water , and i 'm supposed to stay away from jason because ... ? steve : i just do n't want you to get hurt . elizabeth : well , i did n't tell him how i really feel . and now i probably never will . jason : sam was blaming herself for her baby 's death , and i wanted her to know that it was n't her fault , so ... i got ahold of her son 's medical records . monica : all right . jason : okay . in the file , the baby 's blood type is ab - negative , and franco and sam 's blood are both o - positive . monica : well , that 's not possible . jason : exactly . monica : i mean , a mistake could happen . it does n't happen often , but it could happen . elizabeth : and that 's exactly what elizabeth said . but there 's too much that does n't add up . monica : i - i do n't really follow . if the discrepancy is not an error in the autopsy report , then what is it ? sam : do you really think now is the time to be talking about this ? molly : well , there might not be another time . come on , you must know in your heart who you 'd choose . sam : i do . t.j. : kept trying , but i could n't reach shawn . molly : where are they ? alexis : right here . molly : mom ! alexis : oh , baby ! oh , i 'm so happy to see you . how are you ? molly : i 'm okay . alexis : and you . sam : hey , mom . alexis : how are you ? what happened to your head ? sam : oh , i 'm okay . i 'm more concerned where you 've been , though . molly : yeah , mom , i thought you said you wanted all of us to stay together . alexis : well , uh , jerry had other ideas . sam : jerry jacks ? he kidnapped you ? molly : mom , where did he take you ? alexis : you know what ? it 's fine , okay ? it 's all fine . because finally , i think this nightmare 's over . sam : what does that mean ? kate : [ gasps ] oh , my god ! thank god ! thank god ! sonny : hey , hey , hey ! hey , come on . come on . kate : oh , god . are you okay ? sonny : yes , i am now . i 'm fine . kate : what happened ? did you get the antiserum from jerry ? sonny : they 're testing it as we speak , okay ? and knowing jerry , who knows if it 's gon na be fake , okay ? kate : well , it ca n't be fake because i have to plan our wedding . must have been so insane out there . sonny : all i thought about ... was getting back to you . kate : [ chuckles ] detective falconeri ? lulu : how 'd it go ? dante : was it the antiserum ? jason : the baby had hemophilia . never showed up on any of the prenatal scans . monica : well , jason , hemophilia is very , very rare . maybe they did n't even screen for it . jason : okay . all the ultrasounds show that the baby was healthy . there was never any problems with the lungs . monica : well , that just could have been hidden complications . jason : on top of the baby having a blood type that 's not compatible with both parents ? monica : [ sighs ] well , like i said , if it was n't a clerical error , then what was it ? jason : i -- i do n't -- i do n't know . i mean , one possible explanation -- [ cheers and applause ] monica : wait , wait . wait a minute . oh . oh , i hope that means what i think it does . sam : hold on . you 're telling me that the antiserum is at g.h . right now ? alexis : what jerry said was the antiserum .

a photographer gets a shot of mac punching a reporter who asked felicia what will happen to her mayoral campaign if her daughter is found , dead . felicia tells mac that she regrets ever seeking out the aztec jewels all those years ago because they are the reason she knew peter harrell and the reason that history repeated itself with harrell 's son and maxie . she says she had a feeling that something was off about levi , but she was more concerned with being the mother that maxie wanted her to be to make up for all the time she was away . levi / peter goes into the room where nathan is being held and sees that maxie is not there . maxie wanders around crichton - clark looking for a phone . she goes into a patient 's room . the man struggles to speak and only says the name `` felicia . `` when he tries to grab her arm , she runs to the door , only to run into levi . levi tells her that the man in the bed is his father . he says her parents are the reason that his father is in that condition . levi tells his father that maxie is frisco and felicia 's daughter . peter thanks levi / peter for bringing her and says it is time for her to die . a guard goes into nathan 's room and sees that maxie is not there . nathan is able to overpower him and wrap his chain around the guard 's neck . he squeezes until the man is unconscious and then goes through his pockets to find the handcuff key and the cardkey for the door . he releases himself , takes the guard 's gun , and uses the cardkey to get out of the room .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i am not asking you to throw this case . i 'm just asking you to have a little compassion while trying it . ric : right , so just throw a few softball questions up in the air ; fail to object when you put words in a witness ' mouth ? alexis : you know very well that nikolas is not a killer . he acted in an understandable moment of passion ! ric : that does not matter here ! the fact is it is still against the law for one person to shoot another person . alexis : there is more to a case than just facts . there is the law and then there is the spirit of the law . ric : really ? alexis : do n't you think that nikolas and emily have suffered enough at the hands of mary bishop ? do you think they deserve to suffer any more ? ric : look , just save it for your summation , counselor . there 's no way i can do what you 're asking .

[ scene_break ] dante : all right , i 'm just trying to do my job , wayne . you 're gon na help out a lot if we can borrow that footage . wayne : it shows your boss shooting someone . do n't you want to keep that away from the cops ? jason : do n't make him ask again . dante : i 'll let you know when you can come pick it up from the station . wayne : no , you can keep it as long as you 'd like . look , i just want you to let mr. corinthos know that it was a complete misunderstanding . i was n't spying on him or anything . dante : wayne . wayne . can you step outside for a minute ? i need to have a word with jason . wayne : oh , it 's no problem . i 'll just be outside . and i 'll make sure no one bothers you . jason : this video 's not enough to prove sonny shot johnny in self - defense . dante : but johnny did have something in his hand . i mean , if diane can at least argue that it could have been a gun . mind you , claire has got a recording of sonny laying out his whole plan to provoke johnny and call it self - defense . jason : okay , so we 're right back where we started . dante : not necessarily . there is a way this could work out for everybody , but i 'm gon na need your help pulling it off . [ scene_break ] sonny : what are you doing here , sweetheart ? kristina : i heard you came back . and i wanted to know why . michael said you jumped bail because no one believed that you shot johnny in self - defense . sonny : that was part of it . kristina : so why risk coming back now ? sonny : because i wanted to prove my innocence . i did n't want my kids to think i was a coward for shooting an unarmed man . kristina : you did n't say good - bye . it 's weird . i thought i 'd be glad that you were gone . no more fights or forced family dinners . but when it really started to sink in that i might never see you again , i regretted all those months that i spent hating you , making you so crazy that you went after johnny . sonny : this was not your fault at all , sweetheart . kristina : i 'm glad you came back . michael needs you . sonny : i 'm gon na do everything i can to be the best dad i can be to all you guys . and do n't you ever forget that i ... i love you , okay ? kristina : where did you go ? sonny : tsk . uh , to get some perspective . kristina : i guess it worked . you came back . sonny : yeah , i got some good advice . [ scene_break ] jax : tell kate to have a look at this . i want to run a similar feature in `` crimson 's `` next issue . maxie : we 're already doing a special is fall fashion trends , up - and - coming designers , must - haves for the holiday season . i do n't think kate 's gon na want to give up space for an article on charity . jax : well -- olivia : oh , sorry , i did n't know you were busy . i got some papers for you to sign . jax : that 's okay , maxie and i were just wrapping up . you know , tell kate to make space . and tell her to make space on the cover as well . i think brenda will be the perfect person . maxie : we already did a mock - up with another model that kate approved . jax : well , if kate has a problem with it , just tell her to call me . okay ? maxie : i 'll tell her . jax : okay , thank you . all right . olivia : contract renewals . jax : olivia , look over these ? olivia : everything 's in order . so i know you have controlling interest in the magazine and everything , but the creative is connie 's gig . why do you care who 's on the cover ? [ scene_break ] ethan : this is a sad sight . kristina : i do n't even know what i 'm doing here . i 'm way too old to be hanging out at a playground . ethan : nah , you 're never too old to have a little fun . you know , the swings , they used to be my favorite when i was a kid . i would jump off of the top , fly through the air . you know , it makes you feel free . kristina : i hoped it would . it did n't work . ethan : you thinking about your dad ? kristina : he came back . ethan : when ? kristina : a few hours ago . he turned himself in . the police are holding him at the station . and he 'll probably have to stay there in jail until the trial . and then he 'll probably go to pentonville after that . ethan : it might not come to that . kristina : my dad shot johnny . he claims it was self - defense , but johnny told the police he was n't even carrying a gun . i do n't know who to believe . ethan : maybe you could just sit this one out . less chance of getting hurt that way . kristina : he 's still my dad . i thought i 'd be better off without him . i mean , all he ever does is break promises . but when i heard he was back , i was relieved . i did n't want my dad spending his whole life thinking that i hate him . i do n't hate him . ethan : well , have you told him . kristina : i do n't hate him . chickened out at the station . i made it all about how michael 's happy to have him back . pathetic , right ? ethan : nah , no , that 's not pathetic . it 's hard to open up to someone who 's let you down . kristina : he has . over and over again . and just when i think i 'm about to give up on him , he goes and does something pretty decent . i want to believe in my dad , but i 'm afraid to get my hopes up again . ethan : well , then do n't . kristina : what ? ethan : do n't get your hopes up . but do n't assume that sonny 's gon na let you down again , you know . you need to stop making up your mind as to how something is supposed to end up . just be open to the possibilities , you know . maybe life will surprise you and it 'll be a little fun . kristina : i 'm all in for having fun . ethan : that makes two of us . [ scene_break ] carly : hi . jax : okay , how much is it gon na cost me this time ? carly : why are you assuming that i 'm seeing you about money ? jax : because you always butter me up before you tell me the bad news . so which part of the hotel needs an overhaul ? carly : it has nothing to do with the hotel , and it 's not all bad . jax : okay , spit it out . carly : sonny 's back . jax : the police found him ? carly : no . no , he turned himself in . he wants to clear his good name . jax : oh , how uncharacteristic and noble of him . carly : he does n't want his kids to think he 's guilty . jax : he did n't pull the trigger by mistake , carly . he wanted johnny dead . carly : yes , but he 's claiming self - defense . jax : great . and of course , diane 's gon na run with that , twist all the words around , and sonny 's gon na walk again . i 'm having a hard time seeing the good news in this . carly : no , i just said it was n't all bad . jax : oh . carly : okay , look , i 'm thinking sonny found brenda in rome and she was having too good of a time with her new boyfriend and she wanted nothing to do with sonny . jax : well , if that 's true , that would be good news for brenda . and you , of course , since you ca n't stand the thought of seeing sonny with any other woman . carly : no . i ca n't stand the thought of sonny leaving his kids . and now that sonny has realized he has to come back and face his problems , then maybe michael will do the same . [ scene_break ] johnny : i 'm pretty sure your well - mannered mother taught you to knock . dante : you do n't mention my mother around me . johnny : right , you want to talk about daddy . dante : i got a get - well present for you , johnny . recognize this ? these were taken the night of the shooting on baker street . a picture really is worth a thousand words . i mean , this one tells me everything i wanted to know , why you did n't pull the trigger . because somebody was watching . construction worker . you remember him ? well , thanks to his camera phone , i now have footage of you pointing a gun at sonny . which means you made a false statement . that 's a serious offense . so is brandishing a weapon in an open place . you 're looking at a boatload of charges , johnny . or you can walk away from all this a free man . johnny : what 's the catch ? dante : it 's time you and sonny called it a draw . johnny : hmm . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , dante and i found something that might get the charges against you dropped . sonny : i 'm listening . jason : there 's a construction worker who was doing a site survey on baker street the night of the shooting . sonny : did he see anything ? jason : he recorded it all with a camera . sonny : well , then the cops ca n't charge me . did you show it to diane ? jason : sonny , there 's a problem . from where the guy was standing , you ca n't see a gun in johnny 's hand . sonny : so it was a video showing me shooting johnny ? jason : right . but dante thinks he can use it as leverage to get johnny to admit the truth and clear this whole thing up without going to trial . sonny : dante is dreaming if he thinks johnny is gon na let me off the hook . jason : sonny , this is where you 're gon na have to give him some incentive . before you told me that you wanted a truce . if dante gets johnny to agree , will you ? [ scene_break ] brenda : a knife to my throat . that 's how good your security guys are . how did they get past security ? suzanne : probably the same way the paparazzi did . someone got paid off . look , interpol is searching the whole building . they 're talking to all the cartullo employees . they 're probably gon na want to talk to you , too . brenda : i just want this to be over . suzanne : we agreed that if there was another incident , you would leave rome . brenda : it 's very complicated . suzanne : let me uncomplicate it . the balkan is n't going to stop until he shuts you up for good . you forget about your career , and you start thinking about self - preservation . this is serious , brenda . if you do n't call murphy , i will . [ scene_break ] kristina : my dad 's always warning me about what a bad person johnny is , but i do n't see it . what do you think ? you work with him . ethan : johnny has a lot of pent - up anger over losing his sister . that kind of pain can cloud judgment and make you do things you did n't think you could . now , that does n't make johnny a bad person , all right , but it does n't really help the situation with your father , either . kristina : what would ? ethan : well , see , you 're doing it again . kristina : what ? ethan : trying to make everything right for everybody around you . it 's not your job to fix this , kristina . okay , nor is it your job to make your dad into someone he 's not . all you can do is love him for who he is right now . you know , that 's allowed . just like you 're allowed to hang out on the playground when you think you 're too old for it . stop worrying about what everyone thinks . you know , just do what feels right . kristina : how 'd you get to be so smart ? ethan : i 'm not . but you do bring out the best in me . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] sam : hey . michael : hey . sam : how are you ? come in . michael : i 'm sorry to make you get up . sam : oh , no . are you kidding ? i need to get up and walking around , doing something , anything , actually . michael : how long does the doctor want you to keep off your ankle ? sam : i do n't know . he just told me to take it easy . jason , of course , is taking it to the extreme . if i want to go up the stairs , he actually carries me upstairs . i want a glass of water , he brings it to me . it 's all very sweet and it 's nice , but he 's driving me just a little bit stir crazy . michael : well , i 'm guessing jason 's not here or you would n't be able to make it to the door on your own . sam : no , you 're guessing right . he 's actually at the police station with your father . i 'm not really sure what time he 's gon na be home . michael : all right , that 's cool . i 'll just come back later . sam : no , no . no , stay . please . please stay here . i need the company . what 's going on ? michael : i just need to talk to jason about school . you know , i was n't planning on returning for my senior year , but i kind of figured i can take online courses and graduate with the rest of my class . but kristina does n't want to go to school by herself . and the kids kind of gave her a hard time about the kiefer thing . sam : yeah , i know . i mean , i do know that they gave you a hard time , too . kristina kind of told me all about it when you first started . michael : oh . yeah , that was when i was just a brain - damaged kid . but now i 'm a brain - damaged kid who 's been to prison , so . sam : yeah , well , i think going back to school is probably a really good idea . i mean , with all the snotty kids aside , getting a diploma from madison is awesome and it 's gon na open up a lot of opportunities . and it 's a good way for you to get on with your life . michael : yeah . yeah , i should be going . sam : here . i 'll help you and i 'll get -- sorry , babe . do n't -- hey , do n't tell jason i got klutzy . he may glue me to the couch . michael : yeah , yeah , sure thing . see you . [ scene_break ] dante : if you want to keep these photos out of the prosecutor 's hands , you got to put aside all your plans for revenge . no more shoot outs in the street , no more using sonny 's kids to get under his skin . you got to sit down with him and hammer out a truce you can both live with . johnny : offering to misplace evidence , detective , that 's a slippery slope . you sure sonny 's worth your career ? dante : look , johnny , this is a one - time deal . but if you think you can get a better deal with the da 's office , then be my guest , buddy . johnny : what would be the point ? guess you 've got everything you need to prove sonny 's telling the truth . yeah , i had a gun and i was gon na kill him . but the construction worker showed up . dante : what did you do with the gun ? johnny : last thing i remember is sonny pulling the trigger . someone must have come by and taken it . dante : so we got a deal or what ? johnny : well , if my choice is peace or going to prison , i 'll take the truce . jason : a truce is the only logical way to end this war before anybody else gets hurt . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 'll set up these terms , you and dante ? jason : no , it 's not up to us . it 's up to you and johnny . you get in a room , you work out the details . sonny : i 'm willing to negotiate with johnny . i 'll meet him halfway . jason : okay , you ca n't agree to the deal just to get the charges dropped , sonny . you have to be committed to keeping the peace . sonny : all right , you know what , the drive - by changed everything . if michael had died , i 'd have blamed myself because i 'm the one who set the lopez family up . jason : michael should n't have been there . sonny : yeah , but he was . just like the night that kristina was there when i had the person set the car bomb . i could have killed both of my kids . and for what ? a stupid vendetta . yeah , yes , i got to end this thing with johnny 'cause it 's gone way too far . i 'm done . let 's do it . 'cause i 'm better than this .

[ gate opens ] sam : jason ? is that you ? ava : i apologize . i did n't mean to take you by surprise . i just wanted to come and ... offer my condolences . i was very sorry to hear about connie 's death . sonny : how 'd you get in ? ava : well , um ... a very imposing gentleman met me at the door , actually -- max , i think he said . sonny : he let you in ? ava : well , he -- he was a little reluctant at first . but that changed when i explained to him that i 'm family . sonny : family ? [ bacon sizzling ] max : ah . it 's like you read my mind . i 've been dreaming of a blt . shawn : yeah , i needed something to help keep my mind occupied . actually , i was just about to call you . max : is there a problem ? shawn : sonny . he decided to take off . max : boss needs time to himself when he 's upset . and what happened with connie ? i mean , who could blame him ? shawn : so , what , you 're not worried ? max : no . not now . he 's back . shawn : well , i 'm glad to hear . i mean , how -- come on , man . max : [ sighs ] shawn : how does he seem ? max : look , i did n't talk to him . i just saw him pull up as i was leaving . shawn : are you saying you left him alone ? max : of course not . he 's with morgan 's new mother - in - law . ava : i realize our connection is newly minted . but we are family , nevertheless . sonny : listen , lady . i do n't know you from adam . ava : well ... then let me introduce myself . your son married my daughter , kiki . i 'm ava jerome . carly : you think someone 's out to get you ? franco : my credit cards did not deny themselves . carly : maybe it was a mistake , you know ? a precaution ? you 've been out of circulation for a while . maybe your bank 's just trying to protect you . franco : carly , with the life that i 've lived , my bankers are used to unexpected transactions . and the credit cards you 're talking about , there 's no limit on them . there 's no reason for anybody to put a hold on them , ever . carly : you think someone did this intentionally ? franco : i absolutely smell a rat . carly : who ? franco : the rodent is a blonde named ava . anna : ava jerome was the obvious suspect . duke : no , i agree . if our situations had been reversed and you 'd been drugged and there was a mysterious blonde in close proximity , i would have said , `` yes , absolutely -- ava jerome . `` anna : but you tipped her off . you warned her that you were investigating her . so she knows you think she 's somehow connected to the jerome family . duke : yeah , i gave her ample reason to come after me , but obviously , the lovely ava had nothing whatsoever to do with it . anna : wait . what , you think she 's lovely ? duke : well , she 's not hard on the eyes . but next to you ? she pales . anna : [ laughing ] oh ! nice save . duke : you think so ? anna : yeah , no , that was very good . duke : no , but i meant every word that i said . anna : mm - hmm . duke : i think she 's lying concerning her connection to the jerome family . anna : so you still think she 's tied to the mob ? duke : well , i ca n't prove it , but i need to identify her silent partner . alexis : i had my reservations about jason . i mean , there was a time when i would 've done just about anything to keep sam away from him . derek : mm . how did sam feel about that ? alexis : not good . she did n't appreciate my interference . caused a bit of a strain , but that was a long time ago . derek : may i ask why you did n't like your daughter 's husband ? alexis : i did like jason . for the most part . he was unusual , to put it mildly . quiet to a fault . he never explained himself and rarely took any advice . but on the other hand , he was very brave and unswervingly loyal . derek : sounds like you admired him , at least . alexis : i would n't go that far . i did n't approve of his work . derek : so jason 's work was n't honest ? alexis : he was a hit man for the mob . sam : jason , are you here ? [ gasps ] silas . silas : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to scare you . sam : no , it 's all right . silas : [ breathes deeply ] you hang out down here often ? sam : [ chuckles ] no , not usually . silas : but you make an exception today because ... ? sam : i was -- i was thinking about jason . and i -- and i came down here , and i heard a noise , and for a second , i thought that maybe ... [ chuckles ] ... maybe it was him . silas : you thought it was - - silas : so you heard something and you thought it was -- sam : hey , do you have any news about danny ? my mom was looking for you earlier , hoping that there was an update on the labs . silas : have n't heard anything yet . but in this case , it 's a good thing . danny 's stable . sam : so we still do n't know if the transplant worked ? silas : until the labs come back , sam , there 's no way of knowing if danny 's body accepted the new stem cells . sam : i guess i was just hoping that ... that they did . silas : i know . waiting 's hell . just ask the three interns i chewed out this morning . you know , i was ... i was frustrated with the lab for taking their time , and -- i do n't know -- i guess i just -- i took it out on them . they deserved it . sam : guess you 're pretty anxious , then , too , huh ? silas : thought i 'd do everybody a favor and take a walk . sam : a walk ? do you usually come down to the pier ? silas : sometimes . you know , staring at the water , some -- sometimes it clears my head . sam : yeah . mine too . silas : yeah , you look like you could use a little of that . sam : it 's jason 's birthday . silas : you sure you want to be down here ? sam : [ chuckles ] silas : i mean , the water 's nice , but this place has a lot to be desired . from what i 've been told ... stephen killed rafe 's mother somewhere around here . sam : that 's , uh -- that 's not the only thing that 's happened down here . jason was shot ... down here , and his body fell into the water , and ... well , it was never recovered . silas : is that why , when you heard something , you thought it was jason ? 'cause you think he can still be alive ? derek : i 'm sorry . your daughter 's husband was a hit man for the mob ? alexis : i never get used to hearing that . derek : well , yeah , i can understand why that would be difficult for you . it 's a little more , um ... complicated than a job at in custodial arts . alexis : yeah , well , it is complicated . it 's definitely complicated . although , you know , like i said , there were very good qualities about jason . the best one was that he loved my daughter . and she did n't seem to mind what he did , or she tolerated it because he told her what he did up front , and , well , she chose to accept that . i was the one that did n't accept it because i was obviously worried about her safety , and certainly , the last thing i would want is for my daughter to be involved with the mob . derek : but it sounds like there 's a -- it sounds like there 's a `` but `` in there somewhere . alexis : there 's some people that -- that , uh ... might think that i 'm in no position to judge ... because i , uh -- [ clears throat ] i did a little legal work for jason . and i currently represent his boss . so people who live in glass houses really should n't look down on their daughter 's hit - man husband . derek : [ chuckles ] i have to say , i 'm a bit surprised , you being a lawyer for the mob . alexis : you know , we do n't usually use that word , `` mob . `` derek : mm . alexis : `` businessman `` is typically how i describe my client sonny corinthos . derek : wow . you really are involved in the , um ... business . alexis : more involved than you might think . see , i had just ended a relationship with his business associate , and ... sonny is the father of my middle child . sonny : ava jerome . ava : i 've so looked forward to meeting you . i 've been in town for months . i spent quite a bit of time around your son , morgan . he 's a lovely young man . you must be very proud . sonny : yes , i am . ava : i really wish that i had reached out sooner , when we had something to celebrate . now , again , i 'm ... i 'm very sorry for the occasion of my visit . sonny : i should 've recognized you . from your picture . i got a file on you . we had you checked out when morgan and kiki first got together . ava : checked out ? sonny : yeah . ava : why would you do something like that ? carly : you think ava 's out to get you ? franco : oh , i do n't think . i know . carly : what would be her motive ? franco : revenge . carly : revenge for what ? oh , before monica kicked me to the curb , i did the same thing to ava . i threw her out of the quartermaines . carly : is that what i walked in on the other night ? franco : the only reason she was there at all was because of me , because of the lies she was telling to me about kiki . i think ava 's days of freeloading have come to an end . carly : you 're trying to punish her because of the whole kiki thing . franco : for two decades , she allowed for me to long for a child that , it turns out , was n't even mine . if all i do is throw her out of a mansion , i think i 'm showing good judgment . i think i 'm demonstrating restraint . carly : so you think she retaliated by messing with your finances ? franco : i think that if ava were humiliated , then her first instinct would be to respond in like kind . carly : okay , but how could she do that ? she 's an art dealer . she 's not some financial wizard . how does she put a hold on a million dollars worth of credit ? it does n't make any sense . franco : you do n't know ava very well , do you ? carly : no , thank god . franco : there 's not a thing in this world she 's not capable of if she puts her crafty little mind to it . shawn : morgan 's mother - in - law ? you mean ava jerome ? max : that 's her . said she wanted to pay her condolences to the boss . shawn : i do n't know if sonny 's up for that . you know , he 's not exactly in the mood for sympathy . max : yeah , he is in a bad way . shawn : well , i think it 's worse than that . i mean , this whole thing has messed with his head , man . max : well , how do you mean ? shawn : i went over there to talk to him about business . he called me jason . max : maybe it was just a slip . you know how many times he 's called me milo ? shawn : no , he called me jason because he thought i was jason . max : [ sighs ] i 'm sure the boss was just distracted . jason 's who he used to give orders to , so it 's just -- it 's kind of an old habit . shawn : but the point is , sonny 's head is not in the game , man . right when he 's supposed to be focused . sonny : it 's nothing personal . i have my guys run checks on everybody i 'm dealing with . in my business , you ca n't be too careful . ava : i had no idea the coffee business was so dangerous . sonny : well , it 's just like any other industry . you never know who 's gon na try to take over your territory . ava : and you were worried about me ? sonny : [ sighs ] ava : well , i do n't know whether i should be insulted ... or flattered . sonny : well , you can take it any way you want . ava : maybe you were concerned that i wanted to horn in on your share of the espresso market ? or maybe you thought that i might be a member of the jerome ... crime family ? sonny : are you ? ava : you said you ran a check on me . if i was part of a ... jerome crime family , i 'm sure you 'd know by now . sonny : depends how well you covered your tracks . ava : well , then i 'd have to say not very well . after all , do n't you think my first step would be to change my name ? sonny : not necessarily . you might have taken a calculated risk . you know , the last name jerome is not that unusual ... ava : unless you 're residing in port charles . i have n't been here very long , but i have learned that the name jerome presses a lot of buttons in this town . sonny : really ? ava : you are not the first person to ask me if i 'm one of those jeromes . in fact , i had a very interesting conversation with a charming scotsman named duke lavery . he had similar suspicions . duke : i think the best way to find out ava 's true purpose is to look into her contacts . anna : mm . duke : i mean , if i can discover who bankrolled her art gallery , i can find out if there 's a connection there to the jerome crime family . anna : well , it sounds like a theory . duke : well , i 'm glad you approve . anna : no , i 'm not going that far . while i applaud your determination , you have been sick , and your only assignment is to rest . you 've got to take care of yourself . duke : i ca n't rest any more . i 'm gon na go mad . i 'm losing my mind . since tracy took over at elq , all i 've had is time on my hands . anna : oh . i have to admit , i was kind of wary of you joining elq . those quartermaines , they are just so unstable . they 're in a constant state of war . sorry you got caught in the crossfire . duke : well , now i have a real war to fight . so i might as well use the time to the best advantage . i might as well see whether the jeromes are all dead , as everybody thinks , or if there may be a few stragglers . anna : do you think we 're being paranoid ? i mean , it has been a long time . duke : i think it 's worth looking into . and did n't sonny say there were some outsiders nosing around his business . max : so you said you went to talk to sonny about business . shawn : yeah , i thought we 'd deal with those jokers who started that gambling ring . max : you mean the one morgan got caught up in ? what 's going on ? shawn : remember vince , the guy sonny shot in the leg ? max : yeah , i remember . can i get that blt now ? shawn : yeah , sorry . i forgot . max : thank you . mmm ! so , you were saying ? shawn : so , sonny gave orders to run those bottom - feeders out of town , but they 're back , putting out feelers , and we still do n't know who they 're working for . max : mm - hmm . so what 'd sonny say ? shawn : sonny did n't want to get into it . so we have to take charge , for sonny 's sake . and we both know , if sonny were n't crazy with grief , he 'd be all over this . max : so , what 's your plan ? shawn : [ breathes deeply ] we need to round up vince , get him to tell us who he 's , uh , reporting to . max : come on , man . franco : ava 's good , but even she has her limits . i do n't think she 's alone in this . carly : and now you think she has an accomplice . okay . who ? who 's helping her ? franco : i think it 's her new best friend derek wells . carly : danny 's bone - marrow donor ? franco : look , i know that i am predisposed to be jealous of the guy because he got to be danny 's savior and it was n't me , but let me tell you something -- walking in on the two of them huddled together in the lobby of your hotel did n't do anything to make me like the guy any better . carly : define `` huddled up . `` franco : that 's when two people are having a really intense conversation and are very close together . and she tried to make it sound like it was some art deal gone bad . carly : and you did n't buy it . franco : when was the last time you said to your art dealer , `` no one can know that we 're talking `` ? carly : okay . did you really hear those words or are you exaggerating maybe just ... ? franco : `` the last thing that we need is for anybody to find out what we 're really up to . `` oh , come on . that does n't make you a little suspicious , hearing something like that ? carly : well , of course that would make me suspicious . that would make me very suspicious , but we 're talking about derek wells . he is a big , powerful businessman . franco : if he 's a big , powerful businessman , then he 's exactly the guy that could do something like put a hold on my finances . carly : sure . but why would he do something like that ? franco : because ava batted her beautiful , long eyelashes . carly : hmm . if you 're right ... then that confirms my first impression about your ex . franco : which would be ? you do n't want to share ? carly : uh ... i may have hired my friend spinelli to dig up dirt on ava , after morgan and kiki were going out . franco : and what did your friend spinelli find out ? carly : not a lot . i mean , except ... something was going on between ava and silas . franco : and something was going on , and ava was hiding something . it was that silas was kiki 's father . and not me . carly : yeah . i 'm sure you wanted to do more than just throw her out of the mansion after you found that out , huh ? franco : she took what little family i had away from me . she took away something precious . and here i am , on my birthday , all alone . unless you want to stay here and celebrate with me . sam : at first , people tried to convince me to give up , but that only made me hold on a little bit tighter because i was sure that they were wrong , that jason was coming back , that somehow , someway , he would fight his way back to me . silas : what changed your mind ? sam : there 's , uh ... this man , a friend of mine . he , um -- he convinced me that i was living in -- in limbo ... keeping my life on -- on hold , hoping for something that never was gon na happen , so i finally had to accept that jason was gone . silas : guess that 's good . sam : yeah , i guess . i mean , it 's good until days like today , when i come down here and ... i think about what i lost . i think about that i really never had a chance to say goodbye . i mean , jason just left one day , and he never came home . i guess i just -- i 've never had any closure . silas : sometimes you do n't get closure , sam . the door does n't just shut and suddenly you feel better ? you have to make that happen . you have to shut that door yourself . sam : [ scoffs ] silas : force yourself to get over what you 've lost and then move on . otherwise , you 'll never have any sort of life for yourself . sam : what are you trying to say to me ? are you trying to tell me that i should force myself to forget about jason ? why ? why , exactly ? so i can move on with you ? derek : you have a child with sonny ? corinthos ? alexis : well , she 's not really a child . i mean , she 's in college , for heaven sakes -- my middle child , kristina . derek : i see . well , you know , i 'd heard of sonny corinthos , of course . it 's just that i had no idea that you were , um ... romantically involved with him . alexis : well , i mean , it was more like a one - night thing . derek : mm . alexis : and i got pregnant . derek : oh . so there 's no ongoing relationship . alexis : well , there was n't that , really . it was , uh , complicated . we worked together , closely , and , uh ... well , somehow , i ended up living across the hall from him . derek : it was a proximity thing . alexis : oh , yeah . well , now i 'm not sure exactly what it was . well , you know , like i said , it was a combination of things , and , uh ... ending up in this little game we used to enjoy playing where i got to be morally superior and he got to seduce me and try to knock me off my pedestal . and he did , and i ended up with a mobster 's baby . derek : [ chuckles ] alexis : you 're appalled . why would n't you be ? i ... had a baby with a random man in a bar and a baby with sonny corinthos . derek : well , actually , um ... i was thinking that sonny and i have a lot in common . sonny : i understand there 's a lot of bad blood between lavery and the jeromes . ava : so i gathered . he listed them for me . um ... victor ... julius -- julian ... olivia . all dead . sonny : well , before they met the maker , my understanding is the jeromes made lavery 's life a living hell . ava : well , i 'm sure you probably know that he himself was a mobster . although , apparently , he put that behind him , which is to be expected , dating the commissioner of the police . sonny : you know what ? what duke lavery does with his business , that 's his business , but i got to take care of my own , so i got to -- i 'm gon na have to ask you to get out of here . ava : oh , please . i 'll be more than happy to leave after i say what i came to say . sonny : go ahead . ava : what i told you before is the truth . i am not associated with any crime family . but i do ... have blood on my hands . sonny : whose ? ava : connie 's .. unger - looking .... anna : while i would like to know if your hunch if right about her , i am not going to encourage amateur sleuthing . duke : this is personal , anna . i 've got to see it through to the end . you understand . we both suffered , and we 've lost enough at the hands of the jerome family . anna : i know . i do have a special place of hatred in my heart . duke : and if there is a jerome still around , even in the rather fetching form of ava ... anna : `` fetching `` ? duke : ... i 'm gon na find them . more importantly , i 'm gon na put a stop to them . anna : no . i do not like the sound of that at all . duke : well , at the risk of pointing out a rather inconvenient fact ... you 're very short - staffed , and you got your hands full with the connie falconeri murder case . so the truth ? you need my help . sonny : what the hell are you talking about ? how do you have connie 's blood on your hands ? ava : she was murdered . i feel responsible . sonny : why ? ava : i saw aj that night ... at the floating rib . it must have been just before ... just -- just before she died . sonny : and ? ava : we had a drink together . well , aj had more than one . i tried to get him to stop . i should have tried harder . i just did n't understand the gravity of the situation . i did n't understand the destructive path that he was on . sonny : did he say anything about connie ? ava : he was very distraught about the article that she printed ... the one about my daughter not being a quartermaine . he blamed connie for the fact that he lost elq , and ... it was completely irrational , but he ... was just ... enraged . that 's why i say that i have blood on my hands . if i 'd known how out of control aj was , i could 've ... warned someone . i could 've tried to stop him somehow , and ... maybe your connie would still be alive . sonny ... do you think you can forgive me ? alexis : how are you and sonny alike ? you knock up your lawyer , too ? derek : well , not that i 'm aware of . his name is irwin kantrowitz . i 'm certain he would 've mentioned it . alexis : i should hope so . derek : no , i have to confess . the description of how sonny ... got off on his ability to seduce you , while aware of how much you wanted to resist him , the awareness of his power and his ... desire to use it ... let 's just say i can relate . alexis : you can ? derek : well , is n't it more rewarding to win a game when your opponent is worthy ? puts up a good fight ? carly : i do n't know if , um ... we 're in a place where spending a private birthday celebration together would be such a great idea . franco : you do n't like cake ? carly : it 's just a little , um ... franco : intimate . no , i get it . carly , come on . look , whatever ... whatever new and confusing feelings i might be having , i know you do n't return them , and i know that celebrating my birthday 's probably not even on your to - do list . but it 's jason 's birthday , too . we share a birthday , and i know you 're thinking about him today . carly : i , uh ... i went to the pier -- you know , where he died -- today . franco : you could n't think of anywhere more cheerful to go think about jason ? carly : well , yeah , i could . there was a place that we used to shoot pool , but , um ... i just think that would 've been a little harder . franco : i 'm really sorry . i know you miss him , and i 'm sorry for your loss . i loved spending jason 's birthday with him . and he hated parties -- everything that went with them -- the birthday cake , the candles , the singing . and i -- big sucker for it all -- and i always wanted to do that for jason , but he ... he never let me . franco : i will . silas : this is n't about me . not about jason , it 's not about moving on . it 's about you . sam : what , it 's about me and how i would have to make my own closure while you conveniently happen to be standing next to me ? silas : you really think i would do that ? hmm ? take advantage of you while you were grieving ? wow . i make an even worse impression than i thought . sam : wait a minute . no , i 'm not saying that i think that you would take advantage of me . silas : no , just that i would work any angle i could . mm - hmm . you already made it perfectly clear that there is gon na be nothing that happens between us . and no matter how much of a bastard you think i am , i would never use your grief to try to make a move on you . you know all i wanted for you , sam ? you know , what i wanted is ... i want to see you happy . sam : i am so sorry . i 'm really sorry . that was really unfair of me . it 's just that i have spent the past year grieving over jason , and i have months panicking over danny . i just -- i want the drama to be over . i want for danny and me to finally be able to move on with our lives . [ pager beeping ] silas : maybe you will . sam : is it danny ? silas : the labs are back . this 'll tell us if the transplant 's working . sam : i have been praying for this day , but now that it 's here , i am so scared . silas : i know . whatever it is , we 're gon na deal with it . sam : okay . silas : i 'll be there with you . sam : okay . silas : okay ? sam : yeah . silas : come on . derek : [ cell phone rings ] sorry . i have to take this . do you mind ? alexis : no . go . derek : yeah . what ? what do you mean they grabbed vince ? vince : smells like bacon . nice . shawn : you 're not here to eat , vince . we 're gon na have a little conversation about what you did n't do . sit down . vince : what 's that ? shawn : so , you were supposed to stay out of port charles . now , we had what you may call an understanding -- at least , i thought we did . you know , i got to say , i 'm really disappointed , vince . vince : is that right ? shawn : see , sonny let you walk . more or less . the guy shot you in the leg . vince : do n't remind me . shawn : but he let you live on the condition that you stay the hell out of town . vince : i did . i 'm here on , uh ... family business . max : save it , vince . we know all about your family business . shawn : see , your family is reorganizing -- you know , taking the gaming industry into different territories . you know , vince , you are really lucky you are still walking around . i mean , you got to thank your lucky stars you 're not fertilizer for messing with the falconeri girls . vince : yeah , i was sorry to hear that hot little blond number got popped . she was a nice - looking piece of tail . derek : i 'm sorry . i have to go . there 's some business that urgently needs my attention . so , will you keep me posted on the little guy ? alexis : of course . derek : okay , yeah . alexis : thank you for everything . derek : you 're welcome . sonny : there 's nothing to forgive . what happened to connie should have never happened . it sure as hell was n't your fault . that son of a bitch aj was responsible , and there 's nothing that you could 've done to stop it . ava : we 'll never know , will we ? sonny : aj wanted to kill connie . he even came to my house ... to do it . but he could n't do it 'cause i stopped him . then he got drunk enough to try again , so he hunted her down , to her office ... and shot her like an animal . he shot her down like an animal . ava : i can only imagine how you feel . and if i were you , i 'd want to put a bullet in aj 's head . sonny : i would 've . but i could n't do it 'cause of my son . i made a promise . so i let aj live ... and now he 's gon na blame me because i found her ? ava : yeah . i ca n't think of anything more hideous than that . to end a woman 's life and then try to blame the man who loved her . franco : happy birthday , jason . carly : happy birthday , franco . go ahead . you need to blow out the candles . make a wish . [ chuckles ] franco : do you want to know what i wished for ? carly : you know , if you tell someone your wish , it wo n't come true . franco : then i wo n't . i wo n't take that chance . it 's something that i want very much . carly : okay . well , you 've had your cake and candles . no singing , but you 'll thank me for that . so you 've had your birthday celebration , and , um , i should go . franco : would n't want you to go into sugar shock . carly : that 's impossible . i have a very high tolerance for sugar and all junk food . i mean , if something 's bad for me , i love it . franco : so , thank you . thank you for the room , thank you for the cake , thank you ... thank you for everything . carly : happy birthday . sonny : can i ask you something ? have you told the police how aj was acting that night ... when you saw him before he -- he shot connie ? ava : no . i have n't . sonny : would you do that ? would you tell the police how angry aj was before he ... before he killed connie ? ava : yes . i 'd be happy to tell the police . but i 'll need you to do something for me in return . shawn : mind your manners about connie . vince : i was trying to pay her a compliment . shawn : try harder . you know , you got off easy that time . but we can always make it a lot worse . max : we sure can . shawn : but we wo n't . that is , provided you tell us the name of your boss . duke : what did i tell you ? a clean bill of health . derek : you better pray that vince keeps his mouth shut about who he works for . i ca n't afford to be exposed . anna : right , as usual , darling . sam : hey . okay . so , what do they say ? is the transplant working or is danny rejecting it ? please , silas , tell me my baby 's gon na be okay .

[ scene_break ] jordan : four dead . barely a lead to be found , and almost no physical evidence . not one suspect . nathan : yeah , and the paper 's crying to have the hospital shut down until we can get this case closed . jordan : we ca n't let that happen . andré : then let 's get to work . [ scene_break ] kiki : they replaced those quickly . morgan : yeah . kiki : oh , they look really good , morgan . morgan : well , the color 's not right , and the font 's not exactly what i had pictured in my head . but ... whatever . kiki : but the company name is spelled right . morgan : yeah . whatever . i mean , life is too short to get all bent out of shape over logos , right ? kiki : good answer . hey , why do n't we , uh , take that a little bit further and go over to the lake ? go for a swim . morgan : do n't you work ? kiki : i can just call out . i have a very strong feeling that my boss , aka your mom , would say yes . your only customer is whoever left these books . so , just leave them a comp latte and let 's hit it . morgan : no , no , no , those are mine . kiki : what are yours ? morgan : the books . kiki : [ scoffs ] good one . morgan : i read . i do . kiki : since when ? morgan : since i applied for a fall semester at pcu . kiki : are you -- are you kidding ? morgan : surprise .

[ scene_break ] hayden : [ sighs ] finn ? finn : hi . hayden : hi . finn : could you help me ? hayden : yeah . finn : could just pull this -- pull this tight ? that 's good . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] franco : i know that people usually sleep a lot ... after surgery , but if you do n't wake up in the next two minutes , i 'm gon na take it intensely personally . all right . i 'm gon na give you some incentive to wake up , okay ? guess what . no , really , guess what ? you have a sister . that 's right . you have a secret sister . [ scene_break ] morgan : i did n't think i was gon na get enrolled because i was late for fall registration , but , you know -- and i did n't have a - a transcript or whatever . but parents made a few calls , and i 'm in . i know it 's not , like , the most noble way to get in , but , i mean , it worked . kiki : wow , yeah . good for you . morgan : well , i mean , calm down . do n't strain yourself being so excited for me . kiki : no , i am happy . it 's just ... what , you 're studying business and marketing ? morgan : yeah , i mean , i can -- i can apply what i learn right here to perks . it 's perfect . kiki : it 's just it 's a pretty heavy workload for anyone . you really think that you 're gon na have the time to commit to that ? morgan : so , since when have you been worried about my time management ? it 's fine , you can say it -- you do n't believe in me . [ scene_break ] paul : make the most of your day , sweetheart . and if everything goes the way i 'm planning it , my business will be finished and i will never miss your birthday again . i 'm gon na have to cut this short , sweetheart . i - i have one last present on my list , and she just walked in . i love you . [ scene_break ] monica : oh , good . you 're on time . listen , i 've got to make this short . i 've got a security briefing in less than an hour and back - to - back meetings all day . tracy : postpone them . monica : [ laughs ] yes , i realize that tracy 's agenda trumps everybody else 's agenda , but i am in the middle of a full - blown catastrophe at gh . tracy : there may not be a gh by the end of the day . monica : what the hell does that mean ? tracy : i just came from a meeting -- an emergency meeting . the board wants to close general hospital . [ scene_break ] franco : i promised myself i was n't gon na do this . but it 's true . here 's the deal -- you have a sister -- a secret sister -- and her name -- [ door opens ] sabrina : excuse me , what are you doing ? franco : i 'm keeping vigil . what does it look like i 'm doing ? she 's stable , she 's just not awake . sabrina : well , thank you for the update . franco : why wo n't she wake up ? sabrina : [ sighs ] um , well , she just had emergency surgery ... less than 12 hours ago , and rest promotes healing . have you been here all night ? franco : yeah . elizabeth 's here , i 'm here . where else would i be ? sabrina : you need to leave . franco : no , no , no , no , no . doctor said i could stay here . what are you talk -- sabrina : uh , yes , but if you are delirious from lack of sleep and elizabeth finally wakes up , you 're gon na do her more harm than good . so , go get something to eat ... franco : i do n't want anything to eat . sabrina : ... grab a quick nap . franco : i do n't want a nap . sabrina : i will call you as soon as she wakes up , okay ? franco : why would you do that ? you do n't care about me . sabrina : yeah , but elizabeth does , and that 's good enough for me . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] finn : [ groans ] [ sighs ] thank you for the assist . hayden : sure . finn : how are you feeling ? hayden : i 'm better than i was yesterday -- in the interrogation room at the police station . thank you , again , for helping me . finn : i owed you . hayden : hardly . you know , i can do more for you , finn . finn : no . i do n't want you any deeper in this than you already are . my disease , my problem . hayden : uh , really , in point of fact , it 's not just your disease . there are other people that are sick from this , right ? that are dying from it ? you may be too proud to let me help you , but are you too proud to let me help other people ? i did n't think so . [ scene_break ] jordan : here 's what we know -- the dead . ellis , jenkins , prescott . nathan : all patients of gh , all found dead in their beds , may 5th , may 18th , and july 29th . jordan : dr. mayes . nathan : employed by gh , found dead july 1st . jordan : bobbie spencer , lucas jones . nathan : both attacked may 25th , both survived . derisifol was used in each incident . jordan : there was a near miss on august 31st , when a loaded derisifol syringe was found discarded in the gh staff locker room . andré : anything in the timing of the murders ? jordan : none that we can see . i mean , the dates seem all random . andré : and nothing to connect the victims ? church , school , work , neighborhood ? jordan : well , they were all patients , except for dr. mayes and lucas . but lucas was the exception -- i mean , it appears that he was targeted , because he surprised the killer when he was actually going after bobbie . andré : so mayes was the only victim who 's also a staff member . nathan : until the night of the power outage . jordan : right , like i said , the syringe was found in the locker room . maybe the target was another staff member . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : [ groans ] franco . franco . what secret sister ? [ scene_break ] jordan : the discarded syringe indicates that the killer was maybe thrown off his intended target that night ? nathan : because of the power outage ? andré : you do n't think the outage was part of the plan ? jordan : and we talked about that . nathan : it would be a good way to create a distraction . and the electrical system was tampered with . jordan : i think that we need to proceed as if the two things were related . andré : no one was injected , but there was a casualty -- elizabeth webber was pushed down the stairs . jordan : are you saying ... ? andré : maybe the power outage , the abandoned syringe , and the attack on elizabeth webber are all connected . [ scene_break ] monica : well , reconvene the board and tell them to back off . tracy : oh , that 'll be very effective , i 'm sure . paul : why so grim , ladies ? tracy : have a seat . paul : well , what topic are we on ? monica : tracy just informed me that the board wants to close the hospital until the killer is caught . tracy : four people have died -- three of them patients -- and the media 's all over it . what 's getting lost in the hype is how important general hospital is to the community , how may people depend on us for care . paul : should n't the board take that into account ? tracy : they 're being pressured by the mayor . lomax advised the board to shut the hospital down until the murders have been solved , and god knows when that 's gon na be , given the stalled investigation . paul : can the hospital survive a shutdown like that ? monica : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : [ groans ] sabrina : easy , easy , okay . you good ? elizabeth : yeah . ugh . sabrina : so , what were you saying about a secret sister ? elizabeth : what ? sabrina : something you just said . elizabeth : uh , i do n't remember . sabrina : totally normal . elizabeth : why are you in your scrubs ? sabrina : i 'm back on staff . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : [ chuckles ] sabrina : you 're my first rotation . elizabeth : yay ! sabrina : yay ! elizabeth : that 's awesome . [ object clatters ] elizabeth : why am i so groggy ? what happened ? sabrina : you had an emergency partial splenectomy . elizabeth : oh , how bad was it ? sabrina : there was some trouble with the blood supply . elizabeth : yeah , i have a very rare blood type . sabrina : yeah , well , fortunately , someone came forward and donated what you needed . elizabeth : [ sighs ] what about my boys ? they okay ? sabrina : yeah , they 're totally fine . they 're with your grandmother , and i will call to let them know that you 're awake . they 're probably gon na want to see you , but they 're gon na have to get in line . franco was here all night . oh , fair warning . the police might want to insist on screening your visitors . elizabeth : why ? hayden 's the one who pushed me down the stairs , and they arrested her . that much i remember . sabrina : hayden was released last night . [ scene_break ] hayden : hold that thought . finn : what exact -- wait , no . [ zipper zips ] finn : what exactly did you have in mind , hayden ? hayden : well , first -- first thing 's first . finn : first thing 's first , what -- hayden : this deserves documentation . finn : what are you doing ? hayden : ready , ready ? [ chuckles ] finn : oh . what are y -- hayden : it 's the moment you admitted defeat . finn : i did n't admit anything . hayden : to me . finn : and that makes you happy ? hayden : yeah -- well , no . i do n't know , i 'm getting there . finn : enlighten me . hayden : okay . well , as you know , i made a deal with franco . i gave blood to save elizabeth 's life in exchange for my diamonds -- and the promise that elizabeth wo n't go to the feds . finn : we 've been over this . we already established that you would 've given blood regardless . hayden : yeah , well , that 's not the point . franco 's gon na give the diamonds back to me . and when he does , i 'll sell them and use the proceeds to fund your research . finn : [ scoffs ] no , maybe not the best use of the money . hayden : no , it is to me . and to you . and to a lot of other people . finn : i 'll tell you what , ma - maybe we have this conversation when you have the diamonds in your hand . hayden : would you prefer we explore our feelings for each other ? finn : huh ? feelings ? [ chuckles ] hayden : well ... yeah . the ones you acted on when you kissed me on the promenade ? finn : ah , yes , the ... the kiss . i was wondering when we were gon na get to that . hayden : mm - hmm . finn : well , in your defense , um , you had been drinking ... hayden : i was n't drunk . finn : ... heavily . hayden : no . finn : and neither one of us were ... thinking straight , and everything that had gone on with elizabeth -- hayden : elizabeth is fine . which means i 'm free and clear , which means the two of us are right back where we started . finn : you 're right . nothing 's changed . i 'm still dying . and i 'm still in love with my wife . [ scene_break ] kiki : you know what , morgan ? that 's really unfair . i have stuck by you through everything , and you know that . morgan : no , no . i tell you i 'm going back to school , you doubt , you laugh , and i do n't even think you said congratulations to me . kiki : because i did n't see this coming . you have never once expressed interest to me in going back to college , and now you 've got your parents `` helping you `` get in ? you 've already decided on a major ? morgan : yeah , because i 'm tired of spinning my wheels , kiki . i 'm tired of just not having a purpose . i 'm tired of sitting here and -- and handing out espressos ! kiki : do you really think that you 're gon na find all of that at pcu ? [ scoffs ] you do n't like school . i know that , you know that . i 'm sure that the records clerk at vanderbilt knows that . honest , did you even get a 1.5 your first term ? morgan : why are we -- why are we talking about this ? because it was years ago , okay ? i did n't have a -- i did n't have a purpose . i was n't thinking about the future . now i am , i 'm on track , and i would think you would be happy about that . 'cause i 'm not just some unmedicated , you know , nut job now . kiki : it 's just it came out of nowhere -- it 's like you did n't give it any thought . morgan : if you have a problem in my plans to succeed , maybe you should look at yourself , because you know what ? i think you 're threatened . kiki : um , i 'm sorry , but excuse me ? what do you mean by `` threatened `` ? morgan : what i mean is you 're just sitting there at my mom 's job making stupid tips , and i 'm trying to actually do something with my life . that came out bad , i 'm sorry . kiki : i 'm gon na go . morgan : no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . stop , i 'm sorry . hey ! i 'm sorry . let 's just l -- i 'm pumped , i 'm pumped . i 'm just into it , i 'm excited about it . let 's just go to the lake , and we can sit down and we can talk things out . kiki : no , you have to get back to hitting the books , and i have to get back to going nowhere . [ scene_break ] morgan : so , how are you ? darby : not bad . you ? take care of that mg ? morgan : uh , yeah . antibiotics worked . you ? darby : same . no big . morgan : yeah . no big . just i had to tell my girlfriend i gave her an sti . darby : please . miss drama queen needs to take a step back and realize what she 's got in you . morgan : yeah , we learn new things about each other every day . [ scene_break ] franco : hey . kiki : hey . what are you doing here ? i thought you 'd still be at the hospital with elizabeth . franco : yeah , some nurse tossed me out . kiki : mm . what 'd you do ? franco : nothing . i do n't -- i do n't know . i mean , apparently , i ca n't take good care of elizabeth if i do n't take care of myself , and i 'm starving . so would you get me some eggs , please , and some toast ? kiki : i 'll put your order in . franco : oh , hey , before you go , sorry , um , do you have any pointers on how best to deal with elizabeth after she gets out of the hospital ? kiki : are you guys , like , moving in together ? franco : well , that 's the plan . kiki : does she know ? franco : does she know ? no , not yet , but she will . yeah , i 'll tell her -- as soon as she wakes up . she 's just -- she 's recovering from surgery , so yeah . kiki : franco ! franco : what ? kiki : do you guys even have that kind of relationship ? franco : yes , we have a caring -- we care about each other . we respect each other . yes . kiki : that 's great . franco : yes , it is ! kiki : want to know my first piece of advice ? yes , go ahead . kiki : back off . franco : from elizabeth ? kiki : yes . she has n't even woken up from surgery . franco : but she will . kiki : yeah , that 's not really the point . you 're over here , you 're ready to measure for curtains . franco : yeah , no , i prefer blinds . kiki : franco ! it 's not funny , okay ? you know who you remind me of right now ? you are acting like morgan . franco : oh , no , no , no . kiki : yeah , this is exactly like something that he would do . franco : do n't compare me to morgan . kiki : well , then , do n't act like him . franco : okay . what is it that you think i should do ? kiki : just slow down . be steady , but let her family be there for her right now . franco : okay . yeah . i mean , her family 's at least been there for her ... and not the ways that you would expect , either . [ scene_break ] hayden : you 're still in love with your wife . finn : i told you i would never lie to you , so there it is . [ sighs ] the reason i get up in the morning is to find a cure for the disease that took her from me . hayden : i know that . finn : if she had n't died , i 'd -- hayden : you 'd still be with her . you never would have come to port charles , i never would have met you . finn : i 'd like to think our paths still would have crossed somehow . hayden : is n't it pretty to think so ? [ chuckles ] finn : yeah . hemingway ... `` the sun also rises , `` if memory serves . i 'm impressed , hayden . hayden : yeah , well , it 's the perfect way to ... sum up some things that just are n't meant to be . finn : perhaps if things were different . hayden : but they 're not . [ sniffles ] honestly , um ... i do n't really have a handle on my own feelings . and technically , i 'm still in mourning , too . not that i 'm comparing my feelings for nikolas to you , for your wife , but , um , loss is loss . and a rebound relationship is a bad idea under any circumstances . none of which will keep me from making good on my promise . finn : what are you gon na do ? hayden : i 'm gon na make good on my word and make things right ... for once . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what ? hayden ca n't be out of jail . sabrina : look , you -- you need to rest . i 'm gon na go let your doc -- elizabeth : s - sabrina , stop . the police did n't let her go , right ? sabrina : i only know what i heard . elizabeth : [ voice breaking ] well , she did this to me . she pushed me down the stairs , and now she 's getting away with it ? sabrina : look , you need to get some rest , okay ? just take it easy . i 'm sure that the police have it all under control ! elizabeth : no , if the police ca n't keep her , i can . sabrina : no , no , no ! elizabeth ! you just had surgery . elizabeth : you do n't understand ! sabrina : you can not get out of bed ! elizabeth : i have something on her , and she knows it ! just -- and she 's probably trying to get out of town right now . sabrina : just tell me what you need , and i will do it for you , as long as you promise to stay in this bed ! elizabeth : i do n't want to get you involved . this is my problem . sabrina : wha -- no , no . you getting sepsis is my problem , okay ? look ... elizabeth : [ groans ] sabrina : i 'll take of it . just ... stay in bed . start talking , because i - i 'm not gon na let you leave . elizabeth : [ normal voice ] okay . i have something of hayden 's -- it 's a - a pouch full of diamonds . it 's worth a fortune . her father bought them with the money he took from his clients . hayden withheld them from the government . that 's a federal offense . if i turn them over , then she goes directly to prison . [ exhales sharply ] sabrina : okay , i 'll go . just tell me where they are . elizabeth : they 're in my house , in the kitchen . they 're a drawer from the bottom underneath the silverware drawer . sabrina : what ? ! that 's where you keep them ? ! elizabeth : sabrina , please . sabrina : okay , okay , fine , fine , i 'll go , okay ? i 'll go get them and take them straight to the police , as long as you promise not to leave this bed . okay ? elizabeth : i promise . sabrina : good . elizabeth : okay , go . sabrina : okay . i 'll be back when it 's done . elizabeth : okay . [ door opens , closes ] [ scene_break ] nathan : it 's too coincidental for there to be two would - be murderers skulking around general hospital in the same night . andré : okay , so , let 's say the same person who murdered ellis , jenkins , prescott , and mayes also tried to kill elizabeth webber . jordan : but why would the killer deviate from the script ? why risk pushing the victim ? andré : situational -- the killer did n't plan it . the opportunity presented itself , and he took it . jordan : so , elizabeth webber had no connection to the script at all ? andré : uh , it 's possible . it 's possible that she lucked into something about the killer and has no idea . before elizabeth , the killer was meticulous -- his methods fixed and his victims carefully selected . he was very specific about who he wanted dead . [ scene_break ] monica : general hospital survived two closures during my tenure . the first was a financial mismanagement that brought it to the brink of collapse , and the other was a complete collapse when it burned to the ground . tracy : insurance rebuilt it , but i do n't think the hospital 's umbrella policy covers serial killers , do you ? monica : we can take care of the victims ' families . the big problem is the longer this hospital is closed , the greater the need for the staff to find other employment . and without doctors and nurses , we 'll never reopen . general hospital will be finished , tracy ! tracy : the board has not voted yet . we can lobby to block the closure . you need to light a fire under your police department , tell them what 's at stake . if they do n't find the killer , general hospital is gon na close for good ! [ scene_break ] darby : what 's up with these ? morgan : uh , school . darby : no way . morgan : why -- why does everyone think i ca n't do this ? darby : i did n't say that . i totally think you can do it . i 'm just surprised that you want to . morgan : well , i do . darby : mm . congrats . what are you taking ? morgan : uh , i got intro to finance , uh , global economy and business , and society and ethics . darby : [ scoffs ] man , yuck . business courses are my nightmare . i could n't imagine taking one of these . morgan : yeah . well , all i did was imagine it , and then , you know , i just did n't think it would be this hard starting two weeks late , and i already have a paper due . darby : on ? morgan : something i have n't even read yet . darby : that 's okay . do n't -- do n't stress about it . morgan : yeah , well , that 's easy for you to say . darby : no , it 's easy for you to pay . morgan : what ? darby : your paper -- buy one online . problem solved . [ scene_break ] nathan : but none of this explains why the killer went after dr. mayes . i mean , the other victims were patients . they have that in common . andré : serial killers are notoriously rigid about their patterns . it 's part of what they get off on -- doing something that seems obvious and then watching while people like us squirm to find out how . nathan : okay , so what did we miss ? what is the pattern here ? andré : [ clears throat ] maybe he 's not a serial killer . maybe ... we 're looking for something that is simply not there . jordan : what are you getting at ? andré : maybe this person is n't killing in the service of an abnormal psychological gratification . maybe this is someone with a particular ax to grind against a particular group of people . of the patient victims , what symptoms caused them to be hospitalized ? jordan : [ sighs ] ellis had a breathing issue . jenkins -- some sort infection . and prescott -- he was recovering from a procedure . wait . andré : what ? jordan : there 's a note about gastrointestinal distress on all of the charts . they all had the similar stomach bug . andré : hmm , it 's no accident those patients wound up at gh . they did n't just happen to be there -- they were brought there . jordan : to die . [ scene_break ] finn : hi . tracy : oh ! perfect timing . i am on the hunt for allies . finn : you look nice in red . what 's up ? tracy : [ laughs ] well ... impeding doom . finn : before lunch ? how refreshing . tracy : as much as i appreciate your talent for sarcasm , what i need now is your medical expertise . actually , what i need is your -- the full weight of your professional reputation . [ scene_break ] kiki : hey . slow down there , cowboy . you 're not gon na be very much good to elizabeth if you choke on those eggs . franco : mm . and toast , too . toast is my lucky breakfast food . kiki : mm - hmm . whatever you say . franco : yeah , you 're probably right . if i were a lucky guy , i would have been able to stop elizabeth from getting hurt . i would have stopped her from going down those stairs . kiki : uh , i 'm sorry -- are you actually blaming yourself right now for not sensing that elizabeth was in danger ? because that is not only self - absorbed , that is a little crazy . franco : i suppose it is . kiki : you know what , i know you that you are just worried and you want help , but sometimes , all you can do is just ... show up and be present . franco : no , no , no . i can help . i helped . i did . you know that blood that elizabeth got for the transfusion ? i got that for her from hayden . i made that happen . kiki : huh ? i thought those two hate each other . franco : mm . they do . and if either one of them ever know the truth ... kiki : ah , what truth ? franco : [ muffled ] okay . [ normal voice ] you -- [ chuckles ] [ laughs ] i think it 's best that i do n't tell you . kiki : but you 're the one who brought it up . franco : yeah . it 's just -- okay , i 'm trying to help out elizabeth , and there 's this thing that i know that could potentially affect her , and i do n't know what to do . i mean , if i tell her , i could make her unhappy . i could do that , or i could say nothing , and she could just go on her merry way . and i do n't know what to do . what do you think i should do ? kiki : never mind what i think . what do you think ? [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] [ door opens ] elizabeth : mm ? sabrina , are you back already ? hayden : guess again . [ scene_break ] morgan : wow , darby . that 's a great idea . yeah , i 'll just buy a paper my first week back to school . darby : you 're the one who told me you 're already behind . it 's so easy , morgan . you can literally download a research paper on anything for 20 bucks . morgan : do you do that ? darby : fine arts majors do n't really need research papers , but my friends do , though . morgan : people get caught ? darby : dumb ones that do n't use the better sites . you have to do some work , like change up a sentence here or there . and do n't do it all the time . just when you 're stuck . morgan : mm . yeah , i do n't want to cheat . darby : [ chuckles ] think of it as help . morgan : but what 's the point of going to school if i 'm not gon na learn anything ? darby : how noble . anyway , see you on campus . morgan : yep . see you . [ scene_break ] jordan : i had epiphany johnson search the hospital records . the only patients admitted to general hospital who had similar symptoms to this stomach bug were the victims . nathan : what the hell ? so -- so the killer infects his victims with this -- this stomach bug just to kill them on -- on hospital grounds ? why do that ? why -- why increase the risk of getting caught ? jordan : well , the killer generates a raft of bad publicity for the hospital , and now the hospital is on the brink of closing . andré : it could be that general hospital itself is another victim . [ scene_break ] finn : how can the board support closing the hospital ? tracy : liability . if they ignore the danger , then they leave themselves open to lawsuits , not to mention the little problem of a psychopath on the loose . the board might be correct in their concern there could be more patients at risk . tracy : what about the patients who need treatment ? closing gh would compromise the medical care for the entire city . mercy ca n't handle that overflow . tracy : not to mention the fact that if the hospital does close for any length of time , the staff will seek other employment , and then the hospital will never reopen . finn : on a personal note , i ca n't move my research to another lab at this point . tracy : you see the problem . [ scene_break ] kiki : do you think that you should tell elizabeth whatever this secret is ? franco : i do n't know . that 's why i asked you . kiki : all right . i think that you should just ... trust your instincts . do whatever you think is right . but if i were in your place , i would probably ... choose diplomacy . some people are better off living in their own little worlds . and as much as you may want to give them a wake - up call ... they might not agree . franco : so , i do n't tell elizabeth the secret ? kiki : no , that 's not what i was saying at all . franco : it kind of is . kiki : no , you need to do what feels right to you .

morgan suddenly informs kiki of his sudden plan to enroll in marketing at the university . she finds it very odd , does not encourage him and remarks this is very sudden and impulsive . she leaves to get to work at the metro court when darby comes by to see morgan and suggest he finds a way to cheat if he has difficulty with coursework . sabrina is back at work nursing at gh when elizabeth awakens and is horrified to find out , for the first time , that hayden has been acquitted and is no longer suspect as the person who pushed her down the stairs and tried to kill her . she then informs sabrina that she has to prevent hayden from getting her hands on the diamonds . sabrina then goes to elizabeth 's home to find and access them . while she 's gone and elizabeth is alone in her hospital room , hayden goes to pay her a visit and when she finds out that elizabeth will not let her have the diamonds and intends to turn hayden over to the feds , she angrily concludes she will not donate her blood and will let elizabeth die . right then , franco enters and urges her not to do that and informs hayden , for the first time , that elizabeth is her sister . tracy warns monica that a hospital board meeting was called and the members are considering shutting down the hospital , given that the killer is still at large , has not been identified , much less caught , and the obvious consequences that are occurring from that . meanwhile , paul is nearby , on the phone , privately promising `` someone `` that he will soon get back to them after he takes care of a `` mission `` . he then goes over to sit beside them to hear their concerns about what it will mean if patients do not get the care they need . also hospital staff will be out of a job . if they find other jobs elsewhere , even after the hospital is ready to open again , these staff members will not come back . and so it may cause the hospital to have to shut down permanently . he clearly does not reveal to them what his plans are . meanwhile , at the pcpd , jordan calls nathan and andré to brainstorm with her about the motives of the killer . andré uses his psychiatric expertise to tell the police commissioner and detective of his theory that there must be some sort of consistent pattern in the motives of the killer to `` accomplish `` something with the patients he or she has killed or attempted to kill . he concludes this person has a plan and may want , specifically to shut down the hospital and sees general hospital itself as the `` target `` . when monica returns to her office , after hours , when it 's dark and she 's distracted while on the phone and assuming she 's alone , out of nowhere , paul comes up behind her , unseen , wearing latex gloves , with a needle in his hand . this time , he manages to grab and inject her with the needle .

[ sighs ] michael : so he was in the water ? did you -- did you go after him ? nelle : i could n't .

[ sniffles ] which was also stupid . we left them on the shore . zach started to flail around , doing everything he was n't supposed to do . no one was around us . i ... he could n't stay afloat . he was hypothermic . michael : and you did n't -- you did n't try to save him ? nelle : of course , i did ! i reached my oar out , but he could n't get it . i tried to encourage him to swim to me , but he could n't do it . i do n't -- i did everything that i possibly could . he came up a few more times ... till he finally just went under . and i 've gone over and over it in my mind ...

[ gasps ] oh , wait . does all this extra security have to do with jason ? did he ... carly : no . everything 's still the same . everything 's still the same . josslyn : oh . i 'm so sorry . carly : yeah . josslyn : um , jason is my godfather . the one in the hospital i told you about . sonny : can i have a word with josslyn just for -- i need to talk to her for a second . carly : yeah . and i should have a conversation with oscar . come on . sonny : check the grounds , will you ? milo : sure thing , boss . sonny : hi , josslyn . how are you ? um , we 've done really well lately , have n't we ? josslyn : mm - hmm . sonny : but i 'm gon na level with you . even if it means that you 'll -- you 'll hate me again . [ scene_break ] michael : well , the fact that the plug was missing from the kayak raises questions . you said that the water was icy and rough . that 's a matter of public record . you can verify that with the weather service . and you also said that you and zach , you were n't familiar with the area . all that points to an accident . so why were the police investigating you ? nelle : uh , because his family never liked me . michael : you need a lot more than `` dislike `` to get the police involved . nelle : a few weeks before zach died , he made me the beneficiary of his will . michael : [ scoffs ] that changes things . nelle : i did n't want his money ! i - it was his idea . i mean , yeah , sure , it was -- it was exciting , being around a rich family , you know , spending time in a mansion , you know , with rooms they did n't even need , a personal chef , a housekeeper . i mean , it was all -- it was all new to me . michael : please . just like our trip to morocco , those luxury accommodations -- that was all `` new to you , `` was it ? nelle : the biggest trip zach and i ever took was the one we took to maine . you know , we were -- we were planning on traveling after the wedding . michael : how soon after zach died did his parents accuse you of killing him ? nelle : almost immediately . they never cared for me . never thought i was good enough for their son , so they came after me . hard . because of the will . and because they had all the clout , the police came after me , too . and you want to know the worst part ? i was n't even allowed to go to his funeral . michael : did you love zach ? nelle : [ sniffles ] i - i thought i did . zach made me happier than i 'd ever been -- up until that point . he was good to me , and i - i thought that was enough . i did n't know what i did n't know about ... love .

[ chuckles ] i 'm so sorry . that -- that must have been pretty scary . oscar : no kidding . i - i mean , it 's one thing to know sonny corinthos firsthand . i mean , i was a jerk to him before i knew who he was in the park , and he was cool about it . but , as i learned tonight , when it comes down to protecting his family ... you do n't want to be on his bad side , at all . josslyn : look , if -- if you want to call things off , i -- i 'd totally understand . [ scene_break ] sonny : did everything go good with oscar ? carly : uh ... sonny : is he okay ? carly : yeah . he 's fine . although i do n't think he 's given his mother the pertinent details of josslyn 's life , you know -- specifically who her stepfather is . should we contact her ? introduce ourselves ? carly : no . i do n't think we need to do that yet . i mean , if josslyn and oscar keep spending time together , we 're gon na have to make that call . i mean , i know i would be furious . if the roles were reversed , and josslyn was dating some crime lord 's kid , i would be furious . sonny : did you -- you just call me a `` crime lord `` ? carly : [ laughs ] i did . well , i mean , i 'm just afraid that 's how oscar 's mom is gon na see it , you know ? sonny : so am i . carly : mm - hmm . well , one problem at a time , right ? so , how 's josslyn ? sonny : uh , well , we had a good talk . she seems to understand , and it was like she was being her old self with me . carly : really ? sonny : yeah . carly : oh , i love that . sonny : i mean , she -- you know , she 's concerned about jason , which i do n't blame her . it 's like michael . you know , he 's calm on the outside , but it 's taking its toll on the inside , right ? carly : yeah , and i 'm afraid i made it worse by telling him everything we found out about nelle . sonny : .are you still worried about that ? carly : absolutely . some things are too important not to tell , sonny .

[ scene_break ] tracy : clearly , you 've not been apprised of the situation . my father 's a heart patient . his door should n't be locked . i 'd like it unlocked immediately . elizabeth : i understand that , but according to the monitors , edward 's vitals are stable . his heart rate is slightly elevated , but it really is nothing to be worried about . tracy : forgive me if i do n't find comfort in the diagnosis of a nursing student with 15 minutes of experience . i want the door unlocked . if you are not authorized to leave the desk , find somebody who is ! elizabeth : it 's not about leaving the desk . you see , edward happens to -- monica : ok , tracy , i got your page . what 's the emergency ? tracy : i want to see daddy . monica : oh , that is clearly a violation of felicia 's edict . no family members are allowed in edward 's room . tracy : do you really think that i 'm going to do what felicia tells me to do ? the man is my father . i want to see him and i ca n't because the door is locked . now this twit tells me that his pulse is elevated . elizabeth : i 'm sorry , what was that ? monica : ahem . tracy : i expect you to do something about it . monica : try to ignore my sister - in - law . she ca n't seem to help herself . well , edward 's pulse is a little high , but that 's not unusual for a man who has just had a heart attack . elizabeth : and like i 've been trying to explain , he also has a visitor . it 's right here in the log . monica : heather webber . the woman is nothing if not tenacious . tracy : well , it 's no wonder his heart rate is elevated . there 's no telling what that parasitic vulture is doing to him . [ scene_break ] lois : brookie . brook lynn : yeah ? lois : glazed chocolate doughnuts -- your favorite . brook lynn : thanks , but i 'm fine . look , you do n't have to fuss over me , all right ? i 'm so over last night . seriously , convincing myself that you and dad were getting back together was , like , the lamest thing i 've ever done . i know it 's not going to happen . lois : you 're right , it is n't . honey , i am sorry if i gave you the wrong impression . brook lynn : no . lois : i really am . brook lynn : no , it was all me , projecting or regressing or something . lois : brace yourself . another apology coming your way . brook lynn : uh - oh . two in one day now . that 's got to be a record . lois : honey , i had absolutely no right unburdening myself about my problems with lorenzo to you . you 're a teenager . i 'm your mother . fixing my life is absolutely not your responsibility . brook lynn : i 'm not sorry we had that talk . you opened up to me , and it made me feel closer to you . lois : you are so sweet . and i am going to take that as a good start because this whole unfortunate episode proves one thing to be true that i learned from my ma -- it 's only a mistake if you refuse to learn from it . and i have learned plenty . and now i am going to take my newfound wisdom and put it to really good use by focusing on your career and by being the best darn ma it 's in me to possibly be . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : i 'd like a list of all staff on duty at the time mary bishop died . alan : why is that ? lorenzo : miss bishop murdered my niece . now she 's dead as well under suspicious circumstances . i want to know who treated her , who she last spoke to , the last person to see her alive . alan : well , the police are investigating that . lorenzo : i do n't trust the police . they work for ric lansing , and lansing 's been known to twist the evidence to suit his own purposes . lansing 's agendas rarely match my own . [ scene_break ] alexis : look , lorenzo alcazar was out for blood . hey , he stated in front of a room full of police officers that he was going to exact revenge on mary bishop for sage 's death , and because of you , he now knows that if this goes to trial , she would probably be found not guilty because of reason of insanity . ric : right . alexis : he 's not going to let it go unpunished . he has all the money in the world ; he has god knows how many hit men on his payroll . do you honestly think it 's -- is it so hard to believe that he would get someone to give her the wrong medication when he was conveniently out of town ? ric : ok , it 's a plausible argument , i 'll give you that . but i ca n't help suspecting that this takes the pressure off of your nephew and his fiancée and conveniently places the blame on a man that you ca n't stand -- a man , incidentally , who 's the brother of another man that you hated and just happened to kill . alexis : must you always throw that in my face ? ric : look , you came to me not two months ago and you begged me to file charges against alcazar for , what , the unspeakable crime of befriending nikolas . you , alexis davis , crusader of the right , basically told me that you wanted to trump up charges against alcazar , and now here you are , you 're providing charges of your own -- unless you happen to have real proof that he killed mary ? alexis : no . ric : no . alexis : but -- ric : no , `` but `` nothing , `` but `` nothing . counselor , you 'd better be very careful . somebody might suspect that you 're pursuing a personal vendetta .

[ scene_break ] lois : ok , so much for personal drama . we have major work to do , especially now that we have the official rights to sage 's poem , which is going to be your first hit single . have you given any thought to simon 's notes , by the way ? brook lynn : uh - uh . lois : because i think they 're dead - on . i think we need to push up the glam quotient . brook lynn : mom , i hate that . lois : honey , i know you do , but you 're going to have to just compromise just a little , ok ? the lyrics are beautiful and they 're going to stay as is , but i think we need to make the music a little more dancelike to go along with the hotter image that simon has envisioned for you . ah , just in time -- some age- appropriate input . that 's just what we need . dillon : um , yeah , there 's something you should know . i picked up the mail . l & b got cited for noise violations . lois : what ? that 's ridiculous . let me look at this . unbelievable . somebody has a problem with us rehearsing after 10 : 00 p.m. with the door open -- and i know exactly who this busybody is . it 's mrs. lattimore from next door . i can not believe that that old biddy would n't come to me directly instead of running around behind my back filing official complaints . you know what ; you 'd think she 'd be a little more grateful , too , getting to hear great music free of charge . you know what , you guys , do n't worry . i 'm going to go down to pcpd , get this whole thing cleared up . you guys just keep working on the song with the door closed . georgie : well -- dillon : huh . georgie : looks like things are back to normal . brook lynn : uh - uh . not even close . look , guys , every time my ma overcompensates like that , it means she 's really hurting .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : stone cold . oh , gosh , am i relieved to see you . jason : are you okay ? spinelli : yeah . yeah . jason : okay , i just want to tell you , you did a good job , you stuck with johnny and you made sure he got help . spinelli : well , i think it pales in comparison to the mob prince taking bullets that were meant for me , but thank you . jason : okay , start at the beginning and try to be as clear as possible . spinelli : okay , uh ... i must admit to being a little hazy on the details . sheer terror has that effect on me . jason : it 's okay . just start at beginning . spinelli : um ... well , uh , maximista and i were at casa de stone cold , and the bernificent one called . precious papers needed to be delivered to the mob prince at warehouse 19 , which , as you know , is adjacent to pier 52 . so , of course , i mean , i volunteered my services . transporting papers is but a menial task at best , and i did n't want to bother you with it -- jason : so you got to pier 52 , and ? spinelli : and ... i -- i called out . but no one answered , and so i sensed that something was awry and turned to go , and when i did , 4 gunmen blocked my exit . at which point they opened fire . [ gasps ] a lot of fire . and , um , the mob prince appeared out of nowhere , pulled me out of the danger zone into safety , and eventually guided me out of the warehouse , during which he was ... shot . jason : bernie just told me this is anthony 's doing . spinelli : yeah , johnny and i distinctly heard the would - be assassins saying that they were acting on orders from the demented one . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i need to talk to you . sober enough to listen ? nikolas : sadly , yes , i am . may i make an observation first ? for someone who just got proposed to , you do n't seem very happy . elizabeth : lucky told you he was gon na ask me to marry him again ? nikolas : no , not exactly , but that 's the impression he left . so what did you say ? elizabeth : that i had to think about it . but i do n't . i just could n't figure out a way to tell him that i love him , but not the way he wants . [ scene_break ] dominic : now , do n't get all full of yourself here . i 'm gon na admit something . but please pay close attention , because it wo n't happen very often . olivia : oh , this ought to be good . dominic : you were right about certain things . olivia : okay . you care to elaborate on that ? dominic : i knew you were gon na say that . okay . maybe ... maybe i would really like to bail on this assignment . it 's a little more difficult than i anticipated . not the logistics of it , but the human factor . the more time i spend with sonny , the more i 'm beginning to like the guy . i did n't expect that , and please do n't say i told you so . olivia : i did n't say a thing . go on . dominic : also , i like his kids . and carly . and i do feel like a chump smiling to their faces while behind the scenes i 'm working to put sonny in prison . olivia : right . well -- well , i ca n't say i 'm surprised . honey , i can imagine that moving against targets that are names on a mob chart , it 's a lot different than being up close and personal with those people . i mean , the question is ... what are you gon na do now ? dominic : my job , ma . and i have no choice now . no other cop has gotten this close . hell , no other cop has gotten anywhere near the position that i 'm in to stop the mob scourge in this town . that means sonny , and that means the zaccharas . olivia : well , i 'm not gon na lie . if sonny ever went to prison , it would break my heart . but on some level i would know that , uh , that he was going there based on -- based on choices that he consciously made . i mean , johnny 's different . johnny , it 's like he never had a chance at any other kind of life . you know ? his father made sure of that . dominic : it 's not on me ... to set johnny aside . he 's gon na fall with the rest of them . [ scene_break ] jason : you are never to go out on another assignment for this organization , do you understand me ? and i 'm gon na make sure bernie 's real clear on that , too . spinelli : if i might object -- jason : no , you ca n't object . you almost died tonight , from what , delivering paperwork ? are you serious ? how could i even live with myself ? i depend on having you around . okay ? not because of all the stuff you do or the tech stuff . you 're my friend . you 're like a brother to me . okay ? i try to protect my family , not put them in the line of fire . this has to end tonight . are we clear ? spinelli : yes . i will comply . to the best of my ability . jason : what ? spinelli : well , no , i -- yes , i will comply . what are your plans for the demented one ? jason : i do n't know . i mean , i have to stop the guy . it 's not gon na be easy . he 's in prison . he 's probably working with somebody on the inside , maybe even the warden . spinelli : or perhaps a powerful ally on the outside . jason : maybe . if so , obviously it 's not johnny . he got shot . claudia , now , that 's all another story . spinelli : well , but she claims antipathy towards her father . jason : yeah , whatever . spinelli : no -- and there 's another factor in her favor . that single - minded love that she has for the mob prince is decidedly not an act . i mean , she would sooner cut off her limbs than expose him to lethal danger . so it 's impossible that she would be behind the attacks tonight , and it appears that johnny 's worst fear has become realized -- that vixenella has become completely unhinged . jason : how would you know about that ? spinelli : she was here , deranged with fear and anger . i was quite happy to see her leave . jason : so she already knew about the ambush ? spinelli : well , yes , but not by nefarious means . the bernificent one called her . so she appears to be clean on this one . jason : yeah , well , maybe , maybe not . spinelli : and , uh , the wounded mob prince did ask me to pass along a request . in the case of his untimely demise , he asked that you would protect olivia from the wrath of vixenella . jason : i mean , did he say anything else ? spinelli : well , he asked me to pass along his love to olivia . and ... he did start to say something that sounded like a warning to you about claudia -- jason : wait , hold it a minute . from what you 're telling me right now , whether claudia orchestrated what happened today or not , johnny considers her a threat to be dealt with ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] lucky : are you kidding me ? ethan : sorry . i know it 's late . lucky : what ? come in . ethan : thank you . uh , you 'll be happy to know that i 'm not here for myself . and it 's about rebecca . it seems to me you 've always been pretty fair with her . you know , tried to see her for herself instead of as an extension of emily . lucky : well , it does n't mean i 'm okay with you two trying to scam my brother . ethan : yeah , it 's a shame that plan did n't go to fruition . but , you know , losing money is the least nikolas deserves . but in a fit of jealous rage i was inspired to spill my guts , and now nikolas is bent on revenge . not against me . against rebecca . and i do n't know why . the only thing she did was fall in love with the guy . lucky : okay , well , what do you want from me ? ethan : i want you to stop him . nikolas told me flat out that he 's setting rebecca up for the fall of her life . no , he does n't love her . he has n't forgiven her . he wants to annihilate her . she does n't deserve that . lucky : you know , i suppose it 's admirable of you wanting to protect rebecca . but as far as what nikolas is doing -- i 'm not sure what it is , and i doubt he knows himself -- but i 'll tell you what i am sure of . nikolas would never intentionally hurt rebecca , if for no other reason than she 's emily 's sister . ethan : if you honestly believe that , then you 're more naive than i thought . sorry to have bothered you , man . it wo n't happen again .

[ scene_break ] patrick : removing the bullet is n't gon na be easy . dante : i understand . patrick : what happens tonight will be critical to sonny 's progress tomorrow morning . if his vitals remain stable or if his vitals actually improve , then we 'll continue with the surgery . but in the meantime , if family goes to see him , you just tell him how much he means to you . dante : absolutely . patrick : he 's gon na need it . dante : okay . thank you . patrick : yeah . dante : and , sam ... uh , i just wanted to say thanks for , uh , riding with him in the ambulance to the hospital . sam : yeah , of course . dante : it means a lot that he was n't alone . sam : i 'm glad that i was there . dante : all right , i better , uh , get downstairs and see how everybody 's doing . sam : dante , um , is there any way that you can tell me any information about the investigation and the shooting ? dante : your father was near the scene shortly before the shooting . sam : so , my father was on the pier . dante : he 's in lockup right now . listen , i should get downstairs and check on my dad . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i need you to know how much i love you . and everything i have done , i have done out of love for you . jason : honey , whatever you have to say , just say it , okay ? just say it . it 's okay . elizabeth : i 've done something -- something so terrible and so dishonest ... ... it 's going to destroy us . [ scene_break ] sam : i was really hoping that julian was n't going to be involved in this . i do n't know what to believe . he -- he said that he made an effort to leave the mob to do right by the family . but ever since julian supposedly retired , sonny 's business has been taking a hit from all angles . and now dante just told me that ... julian was on the pier right before sonny was shot . patrick : it does n't mean that he did it , sam . you were on the pier . so was jake . [ scene_break ] jason : we 've been through major surgery , a fake wife , a lying ex - husband . i 'm pretty sure we can make it through whatever it is that you want to tell me . elizabeth : i thought i could handle it . i thought i could just hide it away forever , but it 's -- it 's destroying me from the inside out , and i have to be honest with you . i 've never hidden from you my relationship with jason . i was hopelessly in love with him . jason : what does jason have to do with whatever it is you need to tell me ? [ scene_break ] maxie : carly , michael , and morgan -- they left with jake , and dante went to the police station . lulu and i -- we just stood around , surrounded by those beautiful flowers . we sat , waiting to hear some news , drinking that excellent champagne , because it was already open and going flat . but it might as well have been tap water , because nothing would have tasted good . all the joy and sparkle was gone from the day and from us . nathan : how long did you wait ? maxie : a few hours . i went upstairs and played with the baby for a while . nathan : at least the little girl 's too young to understand what happened today . maxie : she 's such a sweet little baby -- not as sweet as georgie , but , i mean , close . holding avery really makes me realize how much i miss georgie . nobody knows that except for you . the last thing lulu or anyone needs right now is to hear about my puny problems . nathan : hey . you are amazing . maxie : mostly i 'm just sad . i 've known sonny and carly for a long time . they really love each other . i probably should n't be saying this to a cop , but it -- it seems to me like they deserve a chance at happiness . nathan : i do n't disagree . maxie : you were at the crime scene . how bad was it ? nathan : it was rough . i 'm not gon na lie . it was such a comedown after what happened this morning . my sister walked out from under those charges against her . maxie : nina 's out of jail ? nathan : yeah . she 's a free woman . she 's free from jail and free from that institution where madeline and ric made her think she was insane . [ scene_break ] ric : i do n't know what kind of a sick game you two are playing , but i do n't have time for this . franco : your phone has the most interesting app on it . you see , you push a button here , and you can hear a baby cry . nina : [ chuckles ] ric : yeah . so what ? nina : so what ? hey , you should be nicer to people , or at least a better tipper . we talked to the hotel employee -- the guy , you know , that you had deliver the crib and the creepy doll . and , um , it 's so funny , 'cause he said that -- that you asked him to make it disappear , i guess after i lost my mind , to , you know , think that i imagined the crib being here . ric : i really do n't know what you 're talking about . nina : well , he does , and he 's willing to testify against you . ric : what do you mean ? franco : come on . you 're a lawyer . figure it out . nina and i are gon na put you in prison . [ scene_break ] dante : hey . sorry . i would have been here sooner , but i had to deal with jerome . michael : yeah . morgan told us all about it . he 's inside with dad right now . [ scene_break ] morgan : i know i have n't been the best son , dad , and i know you love all your kids the same , but that does n't ... that does n't make it okay , the mistakes that i 've made and the ways i 've let you down . [ sniffles ] but i 'm gon na be better . and i will be -- i 'll be damned if that son of a bitch jerome takes you away before i get to prove to you that i 'm a better son . [ sniffles ] he 's gon na pay for what he did , and not in court . dante 's not gon na be able to scrape up anything to keep julian behind bars . i know what i have to do , dad . dante : morgan . [ scene_break ] carly : please do n't let sonny die . please help him . and i know that i 've already been given so much . and i know that i do n't have the right to ask for anything else . but i am begging you , please do n't take sonny from me . i can not imagine my life without him . [ scene_break ] sam : and just to be clear , it was n't jake 's fault that we were within hearing distance of the gunfire . patrick : come to think of it , you never actually told me what jake did to rescue sonny and tj . sam : did n't i ? patrick : which makes me think that it was ... unsettling . sam : he killed three men . patrick : highly unsettling . sam : it was over so fast , i did n't even -- i did n't even get to see it . patrick : you must have been impressed . sam : impressed ? yes . relieved . grateful . sonny is my friend . tj was an innocent bystander . and if it had n't been for jake , they would be dead . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : this has everything to do with jason -- my feelings for him , the fact that ... we have a son together . but he also has another child with sam . jason : yeah . danny . i know . elizabeth : and sam and danny and jason were a family . they were supposed to be together . but i did n't want that , so i -- jake : mom ! elizabeth : honey , what 's wrong ? come here . what 's wrong ? jake : i had a bad dream . it scared me . elizabeth : oh . i 'm sorry . what was your dream about ? jake : jake went away like all my other dads . elizabeth : oh , i - i 'm sorry , baby . jake : jake left . we were n't gon na be a family anymore . [ scene_break ] ric : prison ? me ? [ chuckles ] oh , no . i do n't -- i do n't think so . franco : yeah , we have all the evidence we need . nina : and we 're taking it to my brother . ric : oh , well , good luck with that , because detective west has to go through me before he makes any kind of arrest . i am the da of port charles , remember ? franco : no , you 're the acting da of port charles . the good people of port charles did n't elect you . you were just appointed . and as soon as the public finds out about your shenanigans -- ric : shenanigans ? franco : yes , shenanigans . nina : shenanigans . franco : shenanigans . ... and what you 've done to your wife , you will no longer be the district attorney . my father will , once again , be the da . nina : yes , the new old da -- well , he has all this information , and you 're not gon na get away with anything . ric : okay , you two have made some valid points . franco : valid ? okay , you 're off to pentonville where the cots are hard and the convicts are harder . ric : okay , what do i have to do to -- to keep you two from pressing charges ? franco : funny you should ask . you 're so fond of paperwork . all you have to do is sign these . [ scene_break ] morgan : what 's going on with julian ? dante : he 's locked up . morgan : right . well , he 's locked up for now . i think you and i both know that it wo n't take long for him to get out , despite what he did to our dad . dante : i 'm doing everything i can to build a case against him , okay ? morgan : mm - hmm . dante : we 're gon na find something , okay ? morgan : [ sniffles ] yeah . dr. drake said one person , so ... dante : thanks , man . morgan : ... i 'm gon na clear out . [ monitor beeping ] dante : [ voice breaking ] what 's all this , sonny ? dad . [ exhales sharply ] what are you doing here ? you ... you 're smarter than this , you know ? you know better than to walk into an ambush unarmed and alone . that 's something i would do . [ chuckles ] [ sniffles ] i know why you did it . i know you did it to save tj , and i , uh -- i do n't -- i do n't question your courage . never have . but maybe just once , you could , um , maybe give me a call , you know ? as your son ... not as a cop . you can trust me , you know ? you can trust me to have your back . but i do n't know that you do , and that -- that sucks . [ sighs ] but you 're my dad , and , uh , i tried to find you half my life . and i do n't want to lose you right now , okay ? okay ? [ scene_break ] morgan : it was n't supposed to go like this , michael . michael : no , it was n't . morgan : mom and dad were supposed to be happy . where is she ? michael : she 's at the chapel . i , uh -- i found the wedding vows dad wrote . i do n't know if she went to read them , but she just -- she needed to be alone for a little while . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] okay , so , what do you think , sonny ? should i read these vows ? i mean , if i -- if i read them , then i can picture you saying them to me , and then i can convince myself that , one day , you 're going to say them to me for real . but what if this is the first step in letting go , you know ? what if i 'm admitting to myself that you 're never gon na say these words to me and reading them is the closest thing i 'm gon na get to marrying you again ? [ scene_break ] patrick : besides the blood on jake 's shirt , it would n't have looked like he was involved in anything . i do n't understand how you can be that calm after killing three people . sam : well , jason was like that . he could just ... disconnect after an incident . patrick : oh , is that what it 's called nowadays ? killing people 's just an incident ? sam : hey , look , i - i 'm not defending it . i 'm just saying it 's something that jason chose to do , and he did it well . and obviously , jake can do the same thing , and luckily for sonny and tj . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm glad that he did it . patrick : i 'm sorry , sam . i do n't -- i do n't understand it . i mean , i sit here and i do everything i can to save people 's lives , and people like jake just ... take them like that , so easy . [ scene_break ] jason : look . [ clears throat ] that was just a bad dream . i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm right here . you 're my best buddy , right ? right ? right ? that 's what i 'm talking about . now , look , when your mom and i are officially married , that makes us a real family , you know ? and i 'm not gon na go anywhere , ever . jake : do you promise ? jason : do i promise ? of course , i promise . of course , i promise . come here . let me see that smile . let me see you smile . there it is ! [ scene_break ] maxie : your sister is free ? how awesome is that for you ? nathan : i have n't seen her this happy in ... i do n't even know how long . ev -- maybe ever . maxie : [ chuckles ] nathan : nina told me she feels like she 's -- she 's getting another chance at her life . maxie : did she say if she has any plans , like , say , living arrangements ? nathan : well , i offered her my place over at kelly 's , since i 'm here all the time . maxie : is that such a bad thing ? nathan : no , no . not at all . [ chuckles ] she turned me down , though . she 's determined to go back to her suite at the metro court . maxie : why ? it 's not like that place is full of happy memories . nathan : [ sighs ] franco is also living at the metro court . maxie : and ... your sister wants to be in close proximity to franco ? nathan : look , i know you ca n't stand the guy . maxie : rightfully so . do i need to list the reasons why ? nathan : nope . i know them . franco 's not real high on my list of favorites , either , okay ? but ... he did step up for my sister . he -- he took the rap for silas ' murder . he was gon na go to prison for her . maxie : fine . i guess that part can be considered gallant . nathan : franco really loves nina . and -- and , look , i hate to admit it , but ... franco and i are more alike than you think . obviously he would do anything for the woman he loves . [ scene_break ] ric : so , what are those ? franco : oh , this is an annulment . ric : what ? franco : an annulment . you see , you sign these papers , and then it 's as if the two of you were never husband and wife . nina : except for my bad memories . franco : oh , well , i 'll make them all go away , my love . ric : okay , what 's the catch ? franco : um , you 're right . there 's a catch . here 's the catch -- you 're not only giving up your rights to nina , you 're giving up any and all claims you might have to nina 's money . it 's all right here . you should just -- ric : no , no , no , no . i - i - i 'm still nina 's husband , and i have certain rights , okay ? nina : i never promised you a rose garden . [ chuckles ] so great . um , hey , thank you for persevering and , uh , getting me back access to my money . i really appreciate that , and i 'm gon na take it as your last and final gift to me . franco : okay , so , here 's the deal . you just sign it . come on , ric . it 's up to you . you take the pen or you go to the pen . nina : [ chuckles ] funny . franco : thanks . ric : okay , just give me the pen . [ scene_break ] michael : dad 's vows were in his -- his suit coat . they -- they fell out of his pocket when i grabbed it . morgan : yeah , you know what ? mom did n't get to hear dad say those vows because he 's in there fighting for his life right now . that 's julian 's doing , michael , and he 's gon na pay for that . michael : yeah , you 're right . no , no . julian will pay eventually . but right now , we need to focus on dad , okay ? he needs us right now . morgan : how the hell am i supposed to focus on dad without thinking about who did this to him , michael ? michael : okay , you need to calm down , all right ? you need to calm down . just -- just -- giving in to the anger , starting to spiral , it 's only gon na make everything worse . morgan : worse ? our dad could be in there dying right now . how can this get -- how can this get worse ? michael : mom and dad need you to calm down . they need you focused . and if you ca n't do that on your own , then maybe you should see that psychiatrist tomorrow , like you promised dad . morgan : what are you trying to say ? are you trying to say that bipolar 's doing all the talking right now ? michael : yes , i am . i am saying that . morgan : [ scoffs ] all right . [ scene_break ] dante : the one thing i ca n't be towards you is , uh , indifferent . and that 's because i love you . i love you very much , dad . but right now , i 'm so angry , i ca n't even see straight . [ scene_break ] carly : i choose to believe in you , sonny , and i choose to believe in us , and i really ... i really want to know what you 're gon na say to me . [ sighs ] `` carly ... there were so many times when i swore i was done with you forever . `` [ chuckles ] `` i 'd think to myself , ' this is it . this is the end of anything between us . ' but how could we ever ... `` sonny : really be done with each other ? there 's always something missing when we 're not together . shaking you is like trying to tear a piece of my own heart out . yeah , we 've had some terrible times . but when it 's good , it 's ... it 's like heaven on earth . it 's worth dealing with the storms and whatever it takes to be where we 're at now . we do n't know what 's gon na happen . but if i die tomorrow ... i 'm a happy man because i spent the last day ... of my life with you . [ scene_break ] ric : done . happy ? [ sighs ] nina : i - i have one -- one question . um ... did you ever love me ? ric : nina , i 'm -- look , i -- when it comes -- nina : [ laughs ] totally kidding . it 's so awesome . psych , psych . but it was worth it to see what you 'd come up with . ric : [ chuckles ] franco : hey , tell you what -- feel like , uh , our business here is concluded . ric , i think it 's time for you to go . ric : oh , no , no , no , no . no , no , no , no . i - i think it 's time for the both of you to go . this is my suite . nina : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . it 's my suite . i shared it with franco . and then we had a major misunderstanding . five minutes later , i married you -- mistakenly -- and now i 'm unmarried to you . so you -- arrivederci . adiós . ric : okay , just give me -- give me a couple minutes . i need to get some -- some things packed . franco : no need . everything you need is waiting for you downstairs by the front desk . nina : vamoose . beat it . ric : okay , look . all right . all right . look . i can leave on my own . franco : feel like you need ... that . ding , dong , the ric is gone . nina : i know , and the witch formerly known as my mom . we 're free of them . franco : yeah . we 're free of everyone and everything . [ scene_break ] jason : oh , you feel better ? elizabeth : oh , good job . jason : big drink . you know what ? i get bad dreams sometimes , too . i , uh , dream about things that i ca n't quite remember , but they seem important . and the dreams -- they scare me , because , uh , when i wake up , i ca n't tell if they were real or if i 'm forgetting something or someone who needs me , someone i should be looking for . jake : what do you do ? jason : well , i lay in bed , and i think about the things that i know are real , things that are very , very , very good in my life , and they usually start off with you , your mom , your brothers , and then , before i know it , the dreams -- they 're -- they 're just gone . boom . i 'm back to sleep , and i 'm feeling better . elizabeth : come on , baby . let 's get you back to bed , okay ? jake : i want jake to do it . jason : oh , you want me to do it , huh ? elizabeth : is that okay ? jason : it 's okay . it 's more than okay . come on . let 's get you to sleep . elizabeth : good night , jake . jason : you are getting very sleepy ...

'cause i do n't think sonny 's side will retaliate at a police station . patrick : guess that 's the bright side , right ? sam : yes . [ scene_break ] dante : you put your life on the line . for what ? money ? power ? control ? was it worth it ? you 've been given a second chance here with -- with avery , and you still make yourself a target . it 's unbelievable . like , it 's ... it 's selfish . what 's that little girl gon na do without you ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : who would have thought that your sister and franco would end up together ? nathan : [ sighs ] i - i thought he was bad for her right up until she turned around and married ric lansing . maxie : [ chuckles ] nathan : only wanted her for her money . talk about a huge mistake . maxie : we all make mistakes . i made them as recently as this last year when i almost married you - know - who . but ... i think that that mistake led me to you . and maybe nina 's mistakes led her to franco . nathan : so , all 's well that ends well ? maxie : unless it does n't . i mean , think about carly . she , one moment , is standing there , holding sonny 's daughter , getting ready to marry the man she loves . and the next , she 's getting the worst news of her life from jake .

sonny is still in critical condition , unconscious and remaining in the hospital icu . patrick warns his family that he may not make it . everybody wonders what they are going to do is sonny dies . morgan makes it clear he intends to go after julian jerome because he 's had sonny shot . michael urges his brother to pull himself together and if he ca n't do it on his own , perhaps he needs professional help . carly sits at the chapel praying for sonny to make it , not knowing how her life can go on without him . right then , we see previous scenes in their relationship throughout the year with all the times they wanted to be apart and never get back together . while sonny is unconscious , we hear and see what he thinks and feels as he clings to life . everybody has jake to credit for his heroic deed . yet patrick is concerned about `` something `` regarding both jake and jason being able to easily kill people when he saves lives . elizabeth becomes emotional wondering if she should reveal to jake that she knows he 's really jason . yet , once again , she does not reveal it to him , afraid of losing him if he finds out .

when monica is alone in her office , suspecting nothing and completely unaware that paul is behind her with a needle , he grabs a hold of her , injects her and she passes out and falls to the floor . before he is able to cover it up , sabrina finds monica and rushes to save her . paul hides but later comes by to find out what is going to happen at that point . sabrina instructs him to rush and get help for monica . he clearly does not do that and goes off to make a call to `` report `` to `` someone `` something of concern to him . as soon as it is clear to him that sabrina has prevented what he hoped to `` accomplish `` with monica , by saving her , and that she may be `` onto `` him , paul grabs sabrina , covers her mouth and drags her onto the elevator . meanwhile , at the metro court , tracy is encouraging michael to commit to sabrina and baby teddy , yet carly reminds both her son and his aunt that sabrina ran off on michael , got pregnant by another man and lied to michael about that while she chose to aid and abet a criminal . yet he informs his mom he is committed to sabrina . meanwhile , tracy gets called to inform her that monica has been attacked and injected by the unidentified hospital killer . tracy rushes to the or where the staff inform her that sabrina santiago got the timely medical intervention for monica and saved her life . yet unknown to all , at this time , sabrina is alone and unconscious on the floor of a darkened room after paul has injected her . meanwhile , franco informs elizabeth , for the first time , that hayden did not push her down the stairs and that the person who did was a man . they both wonder who it would be and what motive this unidentified person would have to kill her . they also discover that elizabeth has made efforts to turn hayden 's diamonds over to the cops to have her put away after falsely accusing her of trying to kill her and had no clue that hayden was about to donate blood to save her life . both woman are also completely shocked and question if it 's really true , when franco reveals that they are half sisters with the same mom .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : if i were going to tell a lie to try and calm you down , i think i could come up with something better than claudia zacchara on the witness stand . lulu : which is hard to imagine , anything coming out of claudia 's mouth that would help . nikolas : yeah , well , i 'll tell you what she said . she said that she was sleeping with logan to get information about her father and then you walked in on them in the act , and that logan got furious and ended up losing it and coming after her that night and knocking down her door with an axe . lulu : exactly how it happened , except to me . nikolas : right , right . well , there may be just enough truth to what she said . she said that -- that john came in and killed logan to save her . lulu : i just do n't see how the jury could believe her . she is so hard and unsympathetic . it must 've been obvious that she was lying . nikolas : i know -- well , claudia very well may be everything that you say she is , but i do know that she loves her brother . and sometimes love can give people power to do things they did n't think they were capable of . [ scene_break ] johnny : i know that you wanted to tell the entire court that lulu was n't lying , that she actually did kill logan . claudia : yeah , what would 've been the point ? i mean , the way she broke down on the stand , the jury was n't going to believe her . they were never going to believe that she killed logan , so i had to come up with a story that would make you look innocent . johnny : you painted yourself like some scheming trick , laying claim to all this crap that i know you did n't do . claudia : i 've done my share , babe . johnny : you stuck your neck out on the line for me . claudia : it was just a story , johnny . johnny : where i 'm the hero and i saved you , when it 's the opposite that happened . you saved me , just like you always do , even when you think i 'm dead wrong .

[ scene_break ] jerry : you know , for -- for all his sophistication , jax is really a romantic at heart . he always believed in love , that there was a woman waiting for him , a life - lasting partner . carly : you did n't think he would ever find that . jerry : you know , jax 's marriages fail because he was never realistic about the women that he was marrying . but you were different . you know , jax was very clear about who you are , what he was getting into . you know , you were the one that he was waiting for and he -- he put his heart on the line . carly : i know he did . i blew it . jerry : it 's all right . you know , you 're human . it happens . but , you know , there are limits . no man tolerates being cuckolded and the fact that it was sonny made it worse . carly : there 's no excuse . i mean , there -- there were . we had just put michael in an institution and we were so overwhelmed with grief -- jerry : so you turned to a man you do n't love and do n't particularly trust , and , you know , a man who brought you pain and suffering . carly : i know . i know it makes no sense at all . jerry : oh , no . on the contrary , it makes perfect sense . you do n't trust to be happy , so you destroy what matters most . it 's a tendency that i 'm very familiar with . carly : well , if you understand -- jerry : no , i 'm not jax , carly . carly : but if you think that i 'm the one jax was waiting for , then maybe it 's not over .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : oh , god . you 've been my friend for how many years ? and this is how i repay you , by compromising your love and loyalty ? god , i 'm such an idiot . elizabeth : hey , we did this together . we gave into our big , scary , forbidden attraction . nikolas : i know , but it 's ... i mean , your son was run down right in front of your eyes today , almost died . lucky asked you to marry him . you were just completely vulnerable when you came over here , and i feel like i took advantage of that . elizabeth : jake was conceived on a night like this . i mean , yes , i was drunk and i was angry . but i knew exactly what i was doing . just like tonight . the only difference is that then i felt justified because lucky had hurt me , and jason was this fantasy . he was like the answer to all my problems . guess you 're kind of like a different fantasy . you 're the man i ca n't have , so , of course , you 're the one i want . i did n't have to come over here tonight . i knew i was playing with fire . i set us both up for this to happen . god , i did this to my boys . what 's wrong with me ? why did i do this ? nikolas : there 's nothing wrong with you . you said yourself you were struggling because ... you do n't love lucky the way he loves you . elizabeth : i do n't deserve his love after what i 've done . he asked me to marry him tonight and this is the answer i give him ? by coming over here and sleeping with you ? nikolas : you did n't come over here to sleep with me . you came over here because you 're my friend . and i betrayed that , not you . hey . hey . do n't hate yourself . hate me , okay ? nikolas : you were the one who told me that you did n't want to destroy our friendship over a few drunken kisses . you also told me that you did n't want to hurt lucky , right ? so do n't even for a second sit there and blame yourself for something i did . you were never mine to have , but i took you anyway . elizabeth : you took me ? that is so incredibly arrogant and sexist . if you were n't already crucifying yourself , i 'd smack you for that one . nikolas : [ sighs ] i deserve more than that . elizabeth : okay , look , we know we were wrong . what do we do about it ? should we tell lucky the truth ? nikolas : oh , god , no ! please ! please , i 'm begging you not to tell him . no one knows that you were here , except for the servants . and i promise they wo n't say anything . elizabeth : but nikolas , we 're going to know . and every second we spend with lucky is going to be a lie . nikolas : he might be able to forgive you someday ; he 'll never forgive me . please -- liz , please , i 'm asking you . please do n't hurt him with the truth , no matter how much you think he deserves it . elizabeth : we can make all the promises and take every precaution , but the funny thing about secrets is that they want to come out . and they usually find a way . [ scene_break ] maxie : oh , my god , i could have lost you ! spinelli : well , thanks to the quick response from the agile mob prince , i am safe , home , and intact . maxie : well , i guess i owe johnny for keeping you safe . sam : do you think the ambush was some sort of retaliation against sonny ? spinelli : it was the result of an ongoing feud . the demented one ordered the attack from behind prison bars . sam : oh , great , so he had his own son shot ? that 's going to send anyone over the edge . maxie : i ca n't believe after all the trouble you got in with the feds that sonny and jason would involve you in any sort of dangerous situation . spinelli : it was a menial task of delivering papers . no one anticipated any danger . maxie : okay , anything they touch is potentially fatal . you should have been nowhere near that warehouse . spinelli : well , stone cold shares your opinions . he has now forbid my involvement in any future errands , so you see ? all is well . the mob prince lives on . i survive without a scratch . mr. sir knows where the danger is coming from , and stone cold is ready and alert to protect us all . [ scene_break ] sonny : johnny replaced dominic at the last minute . jason : yeah , i know that . sonny : maybe dominic was supposed to be in that warehouse . i mean , you know , maybe anthony considered him a threat , huh ? which would make dominic loyal to us . jason : well , i mean , i could see anthony wanting to take dominic out because he switched sides . it 's believable . sonny : have you ever caught dominic in a lie or seen anything suspicious ? jason : no . so far he 's been okay . sonny : here 's what we 're going to do . we 're going to use dominic . it is time to neutralize that old freak anthony . [ scene_break ] claudia : john , you do n't mean that . i know you 're not actually choosing olivia here over me . johnny : i am , claudia , if you 're forcing me to make a choice . claudia : you 're confused from the anesthetic , i 'm sure . and you are a predator . olivia : claudia , could you just show a little restraint for one night ? your brother 's just been shot . claudia : why do n't you burn in hell , bitch ? johnny : knock it off . i 'm in no mood for your crap right now , and these medications have really lowered my inhibitions . so if you keep pissing me off , i just might say something we both -- oh , just go away , please . claudia : no . i 'm not leaving . olivia : for god sakes , claudia ! you heard what the man said ! just come back and be needy another -- johnny : oh , whoa , hey ! claudia : bitch , i will kill you . olivia : bring it ! johnny : claudia , knock it off !

[ groans ] unspeakable . lulu : you let me go on and on ! why did n't you stop me ? do you want me to call a nurse or something ? dominic : no . maybe just your cool hand to my fevered brow would probably help . lulu : you are such a creep . dominic : yeah , you like me . so why are you so concerned with your brother 's being in love ? lulu : i do n't trust it . dominic : something about him or you ? lulu : um ... hmm , both , i think . i mean , i 've never felt anything for anyone like what lucky feels for elizabeth , certainly not with such consistency . they 've been together since high school , on and off . and , i do n't know , to me that means one of two things -- either they 're destined to be together or doomed to fail . dominic : and you tend to lean toward the latter . lulu : what can i say , cynicism runs in my blood . dominic : [ chuckles ] not to be , uh , the bearer of bad news ... um , i do n't know that you , uh , ever loved john zacchara , but , uh , i could tell that he meant something to you once . you should know ... john was shot tonight .

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

[ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i hope you guys understand i did what i believed your father would want . michael : well , you made the best decision you could have . now we , uh , just have to hope for the best . [ next_on ] dante ( to lulu ) : can i be forgiven for what i did ? valerie : why are you on my case ? nathan : i know . scott ( to ava ) : what do you know about corinthos getting shot ? lucas ( to julian ) : is it also true that you 're the reason sonny 's in the hospital fighting for his life ? carly ( to patrick ) : is he okay ? how 's sonny ?

everybody is still wondering if sonny is going to make it or not . patrick tells sonny 's family that he has the option of doing surgery which may kill his patient but if he waits , the same thing could happen to sonny . they all know that sonny 's kids are next of kin who would make the decision ( next to ric whom nobody wants anywhere near sonny ) . yet michael concludes that he knows his dad would only want his mom to make the decision for him so it 's carly 's call . she concludes that she knows sonny would want them to attempt to save his life and risk the consequences instead of doing nothing . another thing that is very noteworthy to many people is jake . sam knows the only other person she 's met in her life who can kill in an instant in order to save a life or do what is needed in that manner , was jason . maxie is also really in awe when nathan informs her that jake killed 3 gunmen who were going to kill both sonny and tj if he had not shot them first and so the cops have to overlook what happened and exonerate jake .

[ scene_break ] kevin : so , best - case scenario -- you find the embryo , it 's viable , and you have this child . lulu : great . i like where that 's headed . kevin : what happens when the idealism of having a new child wears off , and you 're faced with the day to day of the effects that that will have on your marriage ? lulu : having another child to love ? kevin : oh , i do n't doubt that you would love the child . it 's just that the child was n't conceived in love . it was created by someone who performed an invasive procedure on you against your will . lulu : yeah . yeah , stavros . not the baby . the baby is innocent . kevin : i do n't think i need to mince words with you , lulu , when i say that you were assaulted . lulu : [ clears throat ] kevin : the child is a product of a union between you and your attacker . he or she would be a constant reminder of what stavros did , not only to you , but to dante . lulu : well , we 'd get over it . we 'd have to . kevin : what if you ca n't ? what happens the day you look down at that child , and you see stavros ' face looking back at you ? there 's just no way to predict what your emotional reaction to that would be -- or dante 's . lulu : look , i appreciate your concern . i do . but dante and i have already discussed this . kevin : good . i 'm glad you have . but that discussion is purely hypothetical at this point . listen , say you find what you 're looking for , and you have this child . reality may be completely different . are you sure you 're prepared to face that ?

monica lays unconscious in a hospital bed after paul has injected her with a needle and nobody knows what will happen to her , when or if she will wake up nor who did this to her . after sabrina has rushed to save her life and get her the urgent medical care , paul has injected sabrina . and she was not as fortunate . she has been lying unconscious on the floor of an empty hospital room . michael suspects nothing and enters the hospital with an engagement ring for her , intending to propose to her . he runs into felix who offers his blessing . yet as soon as felix returns to work , he finds sabrina on the floor , yells for help and they all try to save her but it 's too late . michael is distraught and urges the medical staff not to give up , protesting she has an infant son who needs her . but there 's nothing they can do . he goes to say good bye to her . dante arrives on the scene and informs michael that although the cops still have no clue who did this to her , there 's evidence it was the same person who pushed elizabeth down the stairs . tracy then goes out into the hallway , sees michael with felix and knows something tragic has happened to the nurse who saved monica 's life and paid with her own . meanwhile , paul attends the hearing , ready to put julian away and nobody suspects anything of him . however , scott manages to `` somehow `` obtain evidence that states that the cops got an incorrect address when they wired alexis at her house although jordan knows that did not happen . the judge then concludes that since this mistake was made , any confession or evidence obtained herein , is invalid . hearing that , everybody is distraught to face the possibility that julian could go free except for ava and scott . lulu is determined to find the embryos which could enable her to have another baby , even though they were obtained from stavros knocking her out and violating her . both dante and kevin urge her to realize that even if she believes she could love an innocent child conceived this way , she needs to realize that if it really does , in fact come to fruition , it could be a constant reminder that she and dante might not be able to accept or be ok with .

[ scene_break ] nathan : not that i do n't , uh , appreciate a night out with you , but why are we here ? i mean , franco 's not exactly our favorite person . maxie : [ scoffs ] because your sister said if i want to get my job back , i have to hand her an exclusive story that 's got depth and is pure click bait . here is where we get it . nathan : okay , so what 's the story ? maxie : `` better in bed than dead : my night with a serial killer . `` [ scene_break ] monica : [ sighs ] give me strength , alan . our boy 's in a lot of trouble .

[ scene_break ] nathan : you can not be ser -- oh , what -- what am i talking about ? of course you 're serious . maxie : look , i do n't enjoy admitting to the world that i slept with franco , but i promised your sister i 'd hand her a bombshell of a story . nathan : well , you do n't have to blow up your life to do that . maxie : you 're the one that squashed my `` man landers `` exposé . nathan : all right , come on , you know why . and once this book publishing deal happens , the world has to believe that i am `` ask man landers . `` maxie : i get it . you 're doing this for amy 's brother . i 'm proud of you for helping . nathan : i appreciate that . maxie : and i am truly happy that this sudden publishing career is working out for you and amy , but i need to make sure that my publishing dreams are not getting crushed in the process .

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sam : come on , jason . come back to me , please . spinelli : samantha ? sam : spinelli . [ crying ] i am so glad you 're here . spinelli : i 'm -- i 'm only sorry i have n't come sooner . uh , ellie 's mother 's condition has improved , a - allowing me to come . you know , i -- i came in earlier , but jason had been taken for some tests , so they -- they told me i could not see him . hello , old friend . ' tis i ... spinelli . [ chuckles ] come to tell you that we are all here for you when you wake up . and that is my intention , samantha . to -- to stay in town for as long as you need me , okay ? sam : i do n't -- i do n't want you to have to neglect your family for us , though . spinelli : no , nonsense . ellie and i discussed it at -- at length , and she agrees wholeheartedly . what - whatever you need ... sam : okay . spinelli : ... i 'm here . i can even watch s - scout and danny for you . maybe you can get some rest . i 'm sure you have n't got much sleep . sam : no , s - sleep is the last thing i need . [ scene_break ] monica : you know , there is a very good chance my son may never wake up from this coma . that will mean that i will lose him once again . monica : no , no , no . sonny , you never intend for any bad things to happen . destruction just follows in your footsteps ! alexis : is everything all right ? monica : uh , no , alexis ! actually , nothing is all right ! everything is pretty damn dire ! because if jason dies , that means you have the blood of both my sons on your hands ! [ scene_break ] spinelli : forgive me , but your response implies that you 're near the point of exhaustion . sam : no , no , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . you 're right . ever since jason got shot , i really have n't had much sleep , and when i do , i just -- i - i keep having the same dream . spinelli : uh , perhaps a lingering side effect of your bout with toxoplasmosis ? sam : no , no , this is completely different from my hallucinations . spinelli : perhaps ... sharing your dream will loosen its power over you . sam : [ sighs ] okay . okay . i 'm , um ... i 'm -- i 'm standing on the dock , and i 'm -- i 'm looking for jason . and it 's ... it 's really foggy out , and i can barely see . and his back is to me , and i -- i call out his name . and i start walking toward him , and just when i g - go to grab him , he vanishes . [ groans , sighs ] spinelli : that is most unsettling . sam : yeah . i can barely breathe when i wake up . [ sighs ] i just ca n't help ... feeling that i 'm losing jason . [ scene_break ] alexis : considering how much stress everyone is under , perhaps it 's best that we end this conversation . monica : no , alexis , it 's -- it 's okay . i ca n't , uh , bring myself to apologize to you , sonny , but i ... i think it 's unfair for ... for me to blame the entire situation on you , because jason chose to stand by you , he chose to risk his life for you , and that 's just something i have to live with . sonny : so will i . uh , give sam my best . i 'm a phone call away . monica : sorry you had to witness all of that . alexis : trust me , that outburst was nothing compared to the ones i 've directed at sonny . monica : well , i should have , uh , exerted more self - control , really . but unfortunately , i , uh , just got jason 's tests back , and he 's showing no improvement .

[ scene_break ] scott : so , are you gon na tell me about your visit with heather ? franco : it did n't happen . heather refused the visit , which only means she 's hiding something big . scott : well , if she decided not to tell you what that is , you 're never gon na get it out of her . franco : i know . that 's why to get answers , i decided to take a different route . scott : oh ? mm - hmm . really ? betsy : bobby ? franco : hey , mom . betsy : hey , baby .

[ scene_break ] nina : it 's very unsettling to me that there are things about your past that you just refuse to tell me . valentin : i 've worked very hard to bury that past . and i promise you , it will never hurt you . nina : i know i believe you because ... because of when you told me how you were before all your surgeries . valentin : i was a hunchback . it 's okay . you can say it . nina : well , you 're the one who does n't like to say that , not me .

jax : hi . elizabeth : jax , look , i do n't want to fight . i 'm going to hire an attorney and we 'll settle this in court , ok ? jax : no , listen . elizabeth , i do n't want to fight , either . that 's why i 'm here . you and i are the parents of the child you 're carrying . so it 's up to us to negotiate a compromise for the baby 's sake .

[ scene_break ] jax : i apologize for my behavior . and i walked up to kelly 's and i heard nikolas encouraging you to take sole custody and , you know , i said a lot of things i did n't mean , and i have no intention of following through . i do n't want to cut you out of this baby 's life , elizabeth . i think you 're wonderful . elizabeth : thank you . but i bear part of the blame . i mean , when you started issuing out ultimatums , i felt the need to fire back a few of my own . jax : well , we 're all emotional . and i ca n't stand the sight of nikolas for obvious reasons . but you 've been friends with him for years , so you have every right to defend him . elizabeth : i am not happy with what nikolas and courtney did either , but ultimately it 's none of my business . however , this baby that i 'm carrying is . and i agree . jax , you should be the father . i think this baby has every right to know you . jax : well , i 'm relieved to hear that . you know , perhaps we can go back to what i proposed the other day , that we share custody . i think it would be the best solution for everyone , especially our child . [ scene_break ] courtney : you know for how strange - looking this house is , some of the rooms are surprisingly beautiful . nikolas : yeah . courtney : like this one . or maybe it 's just the fact that i 'm with you . it makes me like it . nikolas : yeah , a lot of people are turned off by my house . they think it 's really gloomy and forbidding . courtney : no , i like it . i like the stillness and isolation . you know , we could just stay here indefinitely and walk through the gardens and make love in every single room of the house . nikolas : ah , mm - hmm . mm - hmm . but you might change your mind in a couple of months , because this house gets cold in winter . courtney : yeah ? nikolas : yeah . courtney : well , then we 'll just have to light a roaring fire . and then when e snow does fall we 'll have snowball fights .

[ scene_break ] emily : what you 're doing for carly is the opposite of selfish , sonny . you 're putting your life on hold to give her the time she needs to heal , even though she 's not your wife anymore . sonny : i have a commitment to carly that goes deeper than marriage . we 're tied together by our children and by , you know , the years we spent together , the struggles we 've had . i 'm not going to abandon carly any more than she would with me . emily : she 's so fortunate to have you love you . emily : no , i was n't referring to romantic love . you know , that goes away eventually no matter how glorious it feels ; no matter how much you wish it would last . things go wrong . you disappoint each other or life gets in the way , and when romantic love fades , you find out if there 's real love underneath . sonny : what 's going on ? reese : manny ruiz and two of his soldiers are dead . sonny : what the hell happened ? ric : ruiz tried to kill ric and me and jason shot him . sonny : you ok ? ric : yeah . sonny : well , thank god jason 's back .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i trust your love . in fact , the person i do n't trust is myself . my out- of - control , over - the - top pride is what got us here in the first place and -- elizabeth : oh , no , please , there is plenty of blame to go around . i was in such a hurry to solve our money problems , i did n't really stop and consider this particular situation . but it 's too late for second thoughts . this baby is a part of me . but it 's also a part of jax . i 'm not about to give this child up , and i do n't see how i can take it away from jax , either . at the very least , this baby 's going to want to know where he or she came from . i 'm not going to be able to lie , just like i 'm not going to lie to cameron and tell him that you 're his biological father or that zander and i were ever married . my children deserve the truth , and that means that this baby is going to grow up knowing that jax is his father . i guess that joint custody just seems to be the best solution . lucky : have you considered what this child 's life is going to be ? bouncing back and forth between a life of luxury with jax and barely scraping by with you and me ? i mean , how long do you think it 's going to be before he or she is going to want to live with jax permanently ? [ scene_break ] courtney : you know , i think you misunderstood me earlier when i was talking about us being together at your house this winter . i was n't planning on moving in , you know . i was n't even anticipating that we would be together months from now . nikolas : well , why would n't we be ? courtney : because you still love emily . nikolas , you wish you would have stayed together , you wish you would have stayed committed to your marriage , it 's -- nikolas : you 're wrong . courtney : look , i know that there were problems , and maybe they were insurmountable . but you 'll never know that now , because you had a weak moment and you lied to her about going to new york instead of the bahamas , and then you -- we had another weak moment and emily walked in . hey , it was an artificial breaking point . i mean , instead of you guys leaving each other or staying together and working on things , you -- nikolas : i disagree . courtney : look , i 'm not imagining the look on your face when you see emily . no , i mean , it 's a look of longing and regret and , look , maybe you just gave up a little too soon and you 're sorry , and that 's ok . it is . really . i mean , i do n't want you to feel obligated to be with me . you do n't have to be with me .

'ing the shooter . reese : are you all right ? ric : yeah . john : what 's the matter , mr. lansing ? did i say something to upset you ? sonny : my brother 's recovering from a gunshot wound . he should be in a hospital right now , durant . john : no , you 're right , you 're right . we 'll just hold you down in lockup until ric 's feeling better . reese : you know what ? that wo n't be necessary . ric can go to the hospital and i 'll serve as sonny 's counsel for the rest of the interrogation . ric : no , no , i 'm fine . look , durant has no cause to hold sonny , all right ? reese : that 's right . ric : i 'll stay , i 'll file the paperwork , and then you can drive me to the hospital . sonny : ric , are you sure ? ric : look , as your legal counsel and as your brother , i 'm advising you , get the hell out of here . sonny : that 's about it . john : uh - huh . reese : hey , are you ok ? ric : yeah , i 'm fine , i 'll be ok , as soon as i catch my breath . john : wow , what a touching transformation . from mortal enemies to bonded brothers . unfortunately for you , ric , that 's put you square on the wrong side of the law , which begs you another question -- how far will you go to prove your newfound loyalty to your brother there ? ric : look , the paperwork , durant -- that is , assuming that you filed any in the first place , because if you did go into my clients ' houses -- john : hey , look -- ric : and drag them down here without probable cause -- john : what do you know about what happened in the park tonight , huh ? what are your dealings with manuel ruiz ? reese : is he a suspect now ? john : i 'm just asking questions ! i 'm not getting any answer ric : you want to question me ; you 're going to have to give me a warrant . john : i 'm looking for an alibi ! where were you at 8 : 30 -- ? reese : oh -- ric , ric -- oh , my god , he 's bleeding . call 911 , durant . his wound has reopened . go ahead , call 911 .

[ kate laughs ] olivia : what ? kate : hold down the fort ? olivia : yes ! kate : i do n't think so . olivia : i run a hotel , connie . i 'm perfectly capable of answering phones . kate : sure . picking up a phone , yes . but of articulating without that horrendous accent of yours is another story . olivia : wow . you know what , con ... you can change your clothes and you can change your name and we can all change the way that we talk , but you ca n't change where you come from . you will always be connie falconeri , 335 bay park way , apartment 4f , bensonhurst , brooklyn . that 's who you are . and that 's who sonny needs right now . the girl who can get through to him . the girl who can talk him out of doing something that he 's not going to be able to take back . after all that you two have been through together , ca n't you at least give him that much ? kate : i 've given sonny all i intend to . [ scene_break ] dante : i do n't appreciate being summoned . i 'm not on your payroll or in your back pocket . sonny : i asked you here to report a crime . dante : you got something to confess ? 'cause then i 'll listen . otherwise , i 'm not interested . sonny : i 'm trying to do things above board here , by the letter of the law . dante : do n't give me that crap . you do n't care about the law or the people who uphold it . sonny : ok , you 're right . i do n't have much use for cops but you 're my son . and i know things have been complicated between us -- dante : that 's putting it mildly . sonny : i want to , you know , try to make the relationship better instead of you just coming in here , reading my rights . i want to be a good father . i 'm trying to do that . dante : what happened ? sonny : johnny torched my warehouse tonight . dante : you got any proof ? sonny : well , i 'm sure you can find proof and you can make the charges stick . dante : sonny , did n't you learn anything from what happened with jax ? sonny : i 'm letting you handle it instead of me going out and doing something . dante : ok , so you want me to find evidence , come up with it , otherwise you 're going to start a war on the streets . is that the option here ? sonny : i do n't have a choice . dante : of course you do n't . you shoot first and deal with the consequences later . sonny : tonight was a warning . things are going to get worse . if i do n't do anything , your sister or your brothers could be hurt . so i 'm asking you , please , to help me keep them safe . dante : you 're asking me to compromise my badge so you can get one over on the zaccharas . if that 's what you call being a good father , i still have no interest in being your son . [ scene_break ] lulu : when dad makes his mind up about something , there 's no changing it . so i do n't know why i thought that i would get through to him . ethan : there 's no harm in trying . lulu : i wanted to buy this place to give him a reason to come home but all it would do is remind him of the disaster that his life has become . i just hope that the same thing does n't happen to lucky . ethan : lucky 's in a completely different situation . lulu : no , he 's not ! ethan : i know you 're worried about him -- lulu : of course i 'm worried about him ! he 's on drugs again , did you know that ? i mean , you were n't here the last time that it happened . you do n't know the hell that he had to go through to come out of it . ethan : ok , let 's just try to keep all this in perspective , all right ? lucky lost his wife and his son within months of each other . that 's more than enough reason to drive anybody to a bottle of pills . lulu : i think that lucky deals with his problems the same way that dad does . he , i do n't know , takes a match to his life and watches it burn just like he did our family home . i 'm just afraid if he goes down that road again , he 'll never be able to get out of it . ethan : that 's what we 're here for . lulu : well , according to him , there 's nothing we can do . and maybe we could have at first , but now we 're all so damaged . so this is the legacy dad left behind . i hope he is proud . [ scene_break ] dante : you 're not my father in any way that counts , and i 'm ok keeping it that way . sonny : well , i never got a chance to be your father 'cause your mother never told me that you were my son . dante : yeah , the only reason why she told you the truth is because i was lying on your carpet bleeding with a hole in my chest and she thought that was the only way to make you not finish me off . so let 's not kid ourselves about what i mean to you . sonny : you know , you could pretend that i 'm just some gangster who donated dna . but you know what , you know that 's not true . we 're talking to each other like we 're talking right now , i 'm your father , you 're my son . it feels that way . dante : save your breath . i 'm not michael . sonny : look , you 're not michael . i 've done everything i can to keep michael away from the business . he 's working in my warehouse . it 's legit . that 's what you wanted , right ? dante : yeah , for now . what happens when he wants more ? he 's going to prove himself or try to , and he 's going to get himself killed . you keep going after johnny , that 's exactly what 's going to happen . i heard about what you did last night , hanging him over the balcony . my mother had to fire off a shot to get your attention . sonny : olivia , she 's overreacting . dante : you and johnny , you want to kill each other , you go right ahead . but you leave my mother out of it . 'cause if she gets hurt , the zaccharas are n't the only ones who are going to want retaliation . [ scene_break ] kate : why are you pushing me so hard to be sonny 's support system ? olivia : the man is a ticking time bomb . if he goes off , it could hurt a lot people in this town that i care very much for , my son being the top one on that list . kate : oh , so this is simply coming from a place of motherly concern . olivia : you know what , i held my hand inside my son 's chest to keep him from bleeding out once , and that is not a moment i ever care to repeat . kate : this is n't about dante , admit it . you never got over sonny . olivia : oh , please , give me a break . kate : what ? he 's the father of your child ; the first boy you ever slept with . you 're telling me you never had any fantasies about what your life might have been like if you told him the truth ? olivia : being a mob wife has never been a fantasy of mine , and i think i have proven that over and over again . the minute i saw sonny running around with joe scully , i dumped him . ok ? and by the time i found out i was pregnant , it was too late . you two were already together . kate : yeah . and you resented me for years . olivia : oh , get over yourself . kate : what , are you denying that there was never any tension ? olivia : of course not ! we fought all the time ! that 's what families do , especially our family . that 's how we show each other that we love each other . so i 'm thinking that maybe , maybe you can extend the same courtesy to sonny . if you could pull yourself away from being queen bitch for long enough . kate : ooh , wow . why is that successful women are always deemed bitches ? no , really , i 've worked hard to get everything you see in this room and i 'm not going to apologize to you for it . olivia : and you know what , i got no problem with your work ethic . i would even be really , really proud of you and everything that you 've accomplished if you were n't so busy pissing on all the little people around you . kate : that is lovely imagery , olivia . really . not that i 'm surprised . you can take the girl out of bensonhurst ... olivia : but you ca n't take the stick out of your own ass , can you ? kate : do n't start with me . olivia : or what ? or what , what ? you going to take out your earrings and start grabbing handfuls of hair like the time i stole your stupid cashmere sweater ? kate : yes , yes you did , and that was the one nice thing i owned and you ruined it ! olivia : yeah , mustard does n't come out of pale pink , does n't it ? [ giggles ] kate : you always did know how to push my buttons , did n't you ? olivia : yes , i did . kate : you got me so worked up this afternoon , i almost -- olivia : what ? that what , you went to talk to sonny , did n't you ? kate : no , i did n't go talk to sonny . i was in the area picking up proofs , something that my assistant should have done . but of course maxie does n't have any interest in working with me . olivia : is it really , really that important for you to keep up this kind of pretense ? that you ca n't be a human being once in a while ? kate : i am so sick and tired of your little smug remarks , olivia . your life is far from perfect . and you want to judge me ? i do n't think so ? olivia : yeah ? you going to try and stop me ? kate : oh , yeah . come on . right here , right now . olivia : you want to arm wrestle ? kate : yes , this is how we solve things . olivia : yeah , in junior high ! kate : are you scared ? olivia : of catherine hardwicke howard ? i do n't think so . kate : no , you wanted connie , you got connie . olivia : you see that ? i guess i did . i guess there 's still a little bensonhurst left in you . now can you just let her come out and play once in a while ? kate : connie did not fare too well with sonny . olivia : yeah , neither did catherine hardwicke howard . why do n't you try just being yourself ? kate : you were lucky . olivia : how is that ? kate : you got a child as a souvenir . all i got was a bloody wedding dress . [ scene_break ] spinelli : fear not , maximista . the jackal is not far behind . [ scene_break ] maxie : so when did you and matt get so close ? elizabeth : shh ! maxie : do n't shh me ! i have every right to know what 's going on between you and my boyfriend . elizabeth : matt and i work together ! maxie : ohh , yeah . well , that did n't stop patrick and lisa from jumping into bed the second robin 's back was turned . elizabeth : oh , so now you 're comparing me to lisa ? maxie : grief makes people do crazy , irrational things . i mean , look at lucky . he married a woman he barely even knows to try and hide the pain from jake 's death . elizabeth : ok , you ca n't possibly understand the pain lucky was in because you 're not a parent . maxie : do i understand what it 's like to lose a child ? no . but i do know that i would n't be alive if bobbie and tommy had n't lost theirs . bj was my best friend , elizabeth , and her dying turned my world completely upside down . i had to deal with survivor 's guilt for years . so you do n't get to tell me i do n't know what pain feels like . elizabeth : just lower your voice . maxie : stay away from matt . elizabeth : matt and i are friends , nothing more . maxie : oh , right , like i 'm supposed to believe that with your history of cheating . elizabeth : oh . oh , do n't you dare throw nikolas in my face , not after what you did with lucky . maxie : lucky was a consenting adult . elizabeth : lucky was an addict , and you supplied him with pills and then you tried to trap him by faking a pregnancy so that he would divorce me ! maxie : oh , ok , i get , that 's what this is about . you 're trying to get back at me by throwing yourself at matt because i slept with lucky . elizabeth : god , you really do n't listen to anything anyone says , do you ? maxie : it 's payback , elizabeth , admit it ! elizabeth : [ stammering ] i am not having this conversation . maxie : i 'll take that as a yes . elizabeth : we are friends , nothing more . i am not trying to steal your boyfriend . maxie : not that you could . you should spare yourself the embarrassment . matt likes a woman who is put together . someone who takes a look at herself in the mirror before she walks out the door in the morning . you 're so busy trying to get cam out the door , you do n't realize you have a trail of dried baby spit down your back . and that look ? totally unattractive . so is the smell . but -- [ sniffs ] -- this smell drives men wild . go ahead . worked on lucky .

[ cell phone rings ] lulu : sorry . ethan : no worries . lulu : [ chuckles ] you are all out of favors , maxie . kate : maxie 's disappeared and there 's another fitting scheduled . lulu : and you 're calling me because ? kate : i do n't have time for a learning curve . you know what i expect . make it happen . [ dial tone ] lulu : ok ... ethan : what was that about ? lulu : kate is looking for someone to kick around , and i 'm the only one around , so ... ethan : oh , now who 's the glutton for punishment , huh ? lulu : look , i do n't have a lot of job offers coming in , and i should actually be thinking about how to make a living . but , yes , i am a glutton for punishment . ethan : well , you know , my offer is still on the table , i 'm telling you .

[ scene_break ] [ breathing heavily ] elizabeth : icing ? maxie : yeah , a trail of icing for spinelli to follow . elizabeth : that 's your big idea ? the one you 're so confident will get us out of here ? maxie : at least i 'm trying to save our lives . what kind of clues have you come up with ? elizabeth : well , i left lucky a message saying that i was following a suspect . and when i was leaving him a second message , i was grabbed . maxie : in either one of those messages , did you happen to include our location ? elizabeth : i did n't get that far . maxie : ok , i think you should quit nursing and become a full - time private investigator . elizabeth : i know lucky . he 's going to use every available resource to find me . maxie : elizabeth , that could take days . we need a plan right now . [ scene_break ] lulu : this one 's gorgeous . olivia : a fairy tale dress for a fairy tale day . kate : you know what the problem is with fairy tales ? they always end with people living happily ever after . how often does that really happen , hmm ? one percent of the time ? two percent ? i think we 're doing our readers disservice by putting a so - called blushing bride on the cover . olivia : yeah , but you got no problem putting a woman on the cover in seven inch stiletto heels that no women could possibly wear without having a podiatrist on her speed dial . lulu : fashion is about form , not function . kate : thank you , lulu . it 's nice to know that i have someone that understands . lulu : you drilled it into my head enough . kate : you know , i do n't know why maxie booked this photo shoot . we cater to strong , independent women . this is not the 1950s . you do n't need a husband to feel complete . sam : nope , i do n't . i 'm marrying jason because i love him . kate : you 're getting married ? sam : yes , next week , and i need a dress .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm gon na leave the shooting to you . nathan : i wish we could . you heard gunshots out -- i do n't know what 's waiting for us on the other side of the door , and you have to be able to protect yourself . maxie : i keep pepper spray in my purse , which would be great if -- if i had my purse . i know that i 've been around guns my whole life because of mac , but i - i do n't know my way around a gun . nathan : so i 'll teach you . okay , and hopefully , it wo n't come to that , 'cause i 'm gon na cover you the whole time . but just in case ... maxie : okay . nathan : okay . all right . okay , first things first -- two hands on the gun all the time . none of this sam jackson crap . maxie : who ? nathan : oh , you 've never seen `` pulp fiction `` ? maxie : oh , samuel jackson . i 've never heard anybody call him `` sam jackson `` before . it 's like you guys are friends or something . right . okay . sorry . two -- two hands on the gun . nathan : okay . okay . right hand , pointer finger on the trigger . maxie : okay . nathan : bottom three fingers on the grip . thumb on the other side , okay ? maxie : okay . nathan : okay , left hand . pointer finger on the trigger guard . bottom three fingers over your other hand . maxie : is that right ? nathan : that 's right . you 're a natural . maxie : it does n't feel very natural to me . nathan : okay . now , you keep your right arm straight . firm grip . make a triangle with your left arm . all right ? now , i want you to hold on to this thing really tight when it recoils , okay ? you 're doing great . maxie : if you say so . nathan : all right , now sight down the top . when you 're ready , pull the trigger , and ...

[ scene_break ] tracy : what are the police doing to rescue lulu ? michael : i do n't know . tracy : how many cops does sonny have on his payroll ? you can not expect me to believe that he is not getting hourly reports about dante 's disappearance , which is also lulu 's disappearance . and everything he knows he 's telling you , so i want to hear it . michael : [ sighs ] my father does n't know any more than you do . tracy : michael , you can pay me back for trying to steal elq some other time . lulu has been gone for days . i want to know how close the police are to finding her . michael : [ sighs ] look , i 'd tell you if i knew anything , but i do n't . the commissioner 's running the investigation . maybe she can give you something . tracy : she wo n't take my calls either . michael : okay , what about luke ? [ sighs ] maybe he has a lead on lulu . [ scene_break ] agent : we saw falconeri and stavros fighting before the door closed . we heard gunshots , and now the locks are frozen . anna : well , dante was armed . did he still have his gun ? agent : we could n't tell . look alive , everybody . prepare to storm the room . anna : no , wait . wait . we do n't know what 's going on in there . you know , we go charging in , we could spook stavros into shooting both of them . agent : so what do you propose we do ? anna : i do n't know . we should sweep the adjacent rooms . see if there 's another entry -- one that does n't announce our arrival , okay ? agent : copy that . anna : you , stay with me in case they break out .

[ chain clanks ] robin : and -- but victor just saw you as the guinea pig . thank god it worked . but if it had n't , you -- anyway , i - i finally thought that this entire nightmare would finally be over , and he would finally let us go home to our families . but then that monster threw me in here and then did god knows what . aah !

[ scene_break ] tracy : i do n't know what luke knows . i have n't heard from him . maybe he 's lost his phone . maybe he 's been kidnapped by cannibals . maybe he 's lying facedown in a barroom in shanghai . the fact remains is that i 'm pretty sure he 's not looking for lulu , and if anything happens to that girl , and he 's not here , he 's never gon na forgive himself . oh , not that you care . you 've completely written him off , because you 've bought every disgusting lie kiki told you about him so you could justify stealing elq . michael : okay , i did n't -- i thought you did n't come here to fight about elq . tracy : it does n't matter why i came here . it was a complete waste of time . michael : tracy , wait . i know how worried you are about lulu , right ? and as soon as i find anything out , i 'll let you know . tracy : i appreciate it . michael : okay . i hope luke calls you . tracy : so do i .

[ scene_break ] robin : do n't ever do that again . okay , obviously , if i 'm shackled to a wall , yes , please come rescue me , but do n't ever shoot a gun two inches from my face without warning me first . and put that thing away . ugh !

[ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : you 're doing this out of spite ? victor : spite ? is that what you think of me ? the medical advancements in this facility would be an unfair advantage to whoever possessed them . dr. obrecht : an unfair advantage in what ? victor : biological warfare , of course .

[ scene_break ] ava : i have a right to talk to my attorney ! scott : you rang ? ava : oh , you . you get out of here and take that little smirk with you . scott : ah , well , there 's the ava we all know and love and would like to send packing . ava : as you so skillfully got me to admit on the stand ? scott : well , i 'm a top - flight attorney . ava : [ chuckles ] i 'm not interested in watching you gloat . i 'm waiting for my lawyer . scott : well , your wait is over , 'cause your lawyer is here . ava : is that so ? where ? scott : scott baldwin , esquire , at your service . ava : is this a joke ? if it 's a joke , it 's not funny . diane miller is my lawyer . julian put her on retainer . scott : well , i - i guess you 're not up to speed , because your brother has his own legal problems to navigate through , so i do n't think he 's concerned with yours . ava : w - what legal problems ? scott : your brother is in jail -- again . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] julian : hey , lucas , what are you doing here ? lucas : sam told me her dad was back in jail . julian : yeah .

[ scene_break ] ava : you must be mistaken . my brother is out on bail awaiting trial . scott : well , i guess you have n't heard the latest . news flash -- your brother is a guest of the city once again . ava : why ? what ridiculous , trumped - up charge did they use against my brother this time ? scott : oh , ava , you 're gon na love this . your brother had sonny corinthos shot . [ scene_break ] morgan : no , we 've been waiting all night . this -- this is ridiculous . carly : morgan ... morgan : no , this is bull , honestly . carly : it 's surgery . morgan : okay . carly : it takes time . morgan : it 's one bullet . does it take all night to find one bullet ? carly : it 's a delicate surgery , and they need to be careful . morgan : so they ca n't send someone out to tell us what 's going on ? michael : their first priority is dad . morgan : yeah , well , so is ours , michael . michael : so let them do their job . morgan : you want to wait ? fine ! be my guest . i 'm going in to find out what 's up . carly : no , you 're not . there 's no way to find out what 's going on ! morgan : i am going into the or , and i 'm gon na find out what 's up with dad . [ scene_break ] ava : sonny was shot ? where did it happen ? is my daughter all right ? scott : relax , relax , relax . it happened at the van ness warehouse , miles from sonny 's house and miles from his little baby daughter . ava : how badly is he hurt ? scott : oh , i - it 's -- it 's bad . people at the courthouse have got their fingers crossed . they 're thinking that their workload may be cut in half . course , the pcpd is not too happy . ava : because his son is a detective there ? scott : no , because if sonny kicks , there 's gon na be a lot of layoffs . ava : look at you , soul of compassion . scott : oh , i have a lot of compassion . i just do n't have it for corinthos . ava : morgan must be devastated . scott : oh , yeah , yeah , the whole family is sitting vigil . i mean , it 's not exactly the celebration they were looking for . ava : does that mean ... that the wedding did n't happen ? scott : no , it did n't . sonny was , uh , too busy getting shot to make it to the church on time . [ ava 's flashback ] ava : so , when carly becomes mrs. corinthos , she 'll get all the perks that go with it , including my daughter . so that just leaves one option , julian -- you got to stop that wedding . ava : well , i 'll be damned . he really did it . scott : did what ? ava : uh , sonny -- he went and made himself a target -- and on his wedding day , no less . scott : you need to spit it out . what do you know about corinthos getting shot ? [ scene_break ] nathan : ava 's already had her phone call . whether or not her lawyer shows up , that 's out of our hands . valerie : yeah , but we do n't want her squeaking by on a technicality because we denied her representation , even by accident . nathan : look , as far as i 'm concerned , ava jerome could spend the rest of her life rotting in a cell , and she 's gon na do just that . valerie : wow . not a big believer in `` innocent until proven guilty `` ? nathan : look , the best lawyer in the world could not help ava jerome , okay ? we got her dead to rights on killing connie falconeri . she is an escaped prisoner . she is also an accessory after the fact in the murder of silas clay and the kidnapping of her daughter , avery . valerie : no wonder she 's having such a hard time finding representation . nathan : yeah , and all of those things are her problem and not yours . you 're under no obligation to go find her lawyer . valerie : okay . thanks . anything else ? nathan : yeah , yeah , keep an eye out for my lab results , will you ? if they come back positive for gunpowder residue on julian 's clothes , then we can add attempted murder to the charges he 's already facing . if we can put the jerome siblings behind bars , maybe sonny 's family will find some peace . [ scene_break ] olivia : if anyone knows how hard my son tries to hide his pain , it 's me . lulu : he 's always been this way , has n't he ? olivia : [ scoffs ] yeah . i mean , if he fell off his bike or got his heart broken by a girl ... he 'd just shrug it off . well , that 's what he wanted me to believe . [ chuckles ] you could see how hard he was trying to cover up his pain . i mean ... [ sighs ] i remember this one time -- he was about 7 years old -- he slammed his whole into a car door , and , i mean ... lulu : ow . olivia : it must 've hurt like hell . and you could see the tears well up in his eyes , and then they were gone just like that . you know , and i was always telling him , `` it 's okay . it 's okay to cry . `` but , no , he was n't having any of that , so ... lulu : well , what 'd he say ? olivia : he said it was his job to be strong for me . that 's my boy , you know ? lulu : well , now it 's my job to be strong for him . olivia : oh , honey ... [ sniffles ] that 's why i am so glad that you 're my daughter - in - law . lulu : [ laughs ] olivia : [ sniffles ] thank you . okay . i 'm gon na go check on sonny . [ breathes deeply ] lulu : okay . olivia , if you hear anything ... olivia : i will come running . i promise . [ scene_break ] dante : i love my wife . all i ever wanted was to do right by her and rocco . i never wanted to dishonor my marriage vows . or so i thought . but i got angry ... and jealous , and i thought she was cheating , and i ... i thought my family was slipping away . and i lashed out . i lost it . i 'm asking for your help . [ sighs ] 'cause i 'm trying to fix it . i 'm trying to be ... trying to be the husband that lulu deserves . but i -- i do n't know . i mean ... can you come back from that ? can i be forgiven for what i did ? [ scene_break ] michael : you need to calm down . morgan : you need to get out of my way . carly : you can not bust in the or ! morgan : do we not want to know what 's going on ? carly : of course , we do , morgan . morgan : okay , then , let 's find out . michael : what , and contaminate a sterile environment ? you want to endanger dad while he 's under the knife ? carly : we 're all anxious to find out , but we have to wait . morgan : we 've been waiting ! what are you talking about ? it 's been all night , and no one 's bothered to tell us what 's going on ! carly : patrick said the procedure would take hours . morgan : come on , does it not feel like we 're being handled ? it feels like we 're being handled , like -- like the doctors know something , and they 're not -- they 're not telling us . michael : no , morgan , there 's a bullet in our father that can cause him to bleed out ! morgan : i know that . michael : and that bullet , it did n't just appear there , okay ? it blew through his body and hit a whole bunch of other things before it 's resting next to his spine and nearly paralyzed him ! morgan : okay , all i 'm saying is -- michael : and when they finally remove that bullet , all those things that it hit , they do n't just heal . the doctor has to fix that . morgan : i know that ! okay ? ! i get it ! michael : do you ? because if you go anywhere near that or , i swear to -- carly : michael , stop ! god . this is not helping . and we ca n't do anything for your father except wait . [ morgan 's flashback ] morgan : i 'm gon na make this right . julian will pay for what he 's done . and i 'm gon na kill him . morgan : you 're wrong about that . [ scene_break ] julian : anybody that told you i had anything to do with sonny 's shooting is a liar . lucas : oh , okay . then what are you doing in here ? police have evidence that you were involved ? julian : oh , yeah . yeah , it 's pretty damning . you see , sonny was shot at a warehouse near pier 54 , right about the same time i was talking to olivia falconeri , also near pier 54 . lucas : okay . that 's nothing . julian : yeah , no kidding . yet , here i am , all thanks to the personal vendetta of a one detective dante falconeri . lucas : alexis working on getting you out ? julian : it 'll work itself out . they may have enough to hold me , but they do n't have enough to make it stick . do n't worry about your old man , all right ? they either have to arraign me or let me go . my guess is , i 'll be out of here by the end of the day . lucas : whether you did it or not . [ scene_break ] nathan : well , so much for that . [ sighs ] valerie : nothing ? no . yeah , the phone call that tj 's kidnapper made to their boss , all the phones are burners . [ sighs ] valerie : well , we have the leader , heinick , on record , claiming that he worked for julian . so if they called their boss , would n't that point directly to jerome ? nathan : well , assuming heinick was telling the truth , then the outgoing call would 've had to have been made to a phone that we can connect to julian . the problem is the phone in question was bought out west months ago , paid for in cash . by now , it 's probably been disposed of . so , as leads go , it 's a dead end . valerie : okay , so , that did n't pan out . maybe the lab will come back with something to point to julian . nathan : maybe . valerie : i 'm gon na head to the hospital , fill dante in . nathan : do n't do that . valerie : why not ? nathan : [ clears throat ] do i really need to say ? [ scene_break ] lulu : dante ? dante : hey . i did n't , uh -- i did n't see you there . is my dad out of the , uh , or ? lulu : no , no . your mom brought us coffee . dante : that was nice of her . remind me to thank her . lulu : i already did , for the both of us . dante : [ sighs ] it 's kelly 's . lulu : she 's worried about you . dante : well , you know , that 's , uh ... her full - time gig and her favorite hobby . lulu : i 'm worried about you , too . dante : well , uh ... do n't worry about me . all our thoughts and concerns should be going to sonny . he 's the one who needs them right now . lulu : well , clearly , he 's not the only one . when i came into the chapel , you were asking forgiveness from god , and you were clearly torn up about it . dante , what could you possibly have done to make you torture yourself like that ? [ scene_break ] ava : how could i know anything about sonny getting shot ? i just found out about it from you . scott : well , need i point out to you that your visitors are on record ? when i signed in , i saw that your brother was here yesterday . ava : oh , so what ? a brother 's not gon na leave his little sister to molder away in a jail cell . scott : well , when your brother is julian jerome , i 'm sure he came over to tell his little sister what was going on . ava : nothing 's `` going on `` with julian . he 's legit . he 's out of the business . scott : of course , he is . ava : and even if he was n't , why would he tell me anything about his plans ? scott : well , because your brother is a preening peacock who has an ego the size of poughkeepsie , who loves to brag , so i 'm sure he came over and he gave you a little taste of what 's going on . ava : well , say he did . why would i tell you ? scott : well , to be straight with me , as your lawyer , is for your own good . ava : my good will be seen to by diane miller . thank you . scott : well , um , diane is not coming , not now , not today , not ever . [ scene_break ] julian : et tu , lucas ? please do n't tell me you think i did this . lucas : the only reason you would do this is if you were still in the business , right ? julian : well , i 'm not . which you also do n't believe , i see . lucas : [ sighs ] you know , i really want to . julian : i do n't know what else i can say to convince you . yeah , that makes two of us . lucas : sorry , but we 've been down this road before . julian : yeah . that was different . look , i had every intention of leaving the mob , but you know what happened . you were shot and almost died , so , yeah , i stayed in , but this time it 's different . lucas : you know what ? [ sighs ] julian : it 's different , lucas , okay ? i had somebody pulling my strings . this time , i walked away , and i 'm free . lucas : do us both a favor , dad -- do n't tell me this now only to have the truth come out later in some other spectacular disaster . julian : hey , whoa , whoa , whoa , look , i would 've much rather spent the night in my own bed . now , other than sharing my quarters with a few water bugs , i 'm not sure what would qualify as a disaster . lucas : carly is my sister . she was supposed to marry sonny yesterday , but a bullet put an end to that . that 's the disaster . [ scene_break ] carly : you go near the or , and i will have the nurses call security . morgan : yes , okay , i heard michael . i 'm not gon na go in the or . michael : [ breathes deeply ] okay . so , then , what can we do for dad that we have n't done already ? olivia : hey . what 's the word ? carly : hi . we do n't know yet . olivia : well , has n't it been a really long time ? morgan : thank you , olivia . see ? she gets it . time to take action . olivia : no , no , wait , i did not say anything about taking any action . morgan : well , we got to do something . we got to do something . carly : patrick . is he okay ? how 's sonny ? [ scene_break ] ava : poaching clients by claiming their representation has abandoned them ? well , that 's slimy , even for you . scott : uh , well , then , where 's diane ? i - i do n't see her . ava : oh , she 'll be here . i 'm sure . julian said that she 'd be in touch very shortly . scott : oh , yeah . and he 's so trustworthy . listen , i got it from the horse 's mouth . you see , diane ripped up julian 's check , because she has washed her hands of the whole jerome family . ava : first of all , i seriously doubt that diane has ever torn up a check in her entire life . and secondly , she ca n't do that . she has a duty to us . scott : well , she also has a conflict of interest . she -- you see , she 's intimate with max , the goon . ava : and so diane ca n't represent me because her boyfriend does n't approve ? scott : yeah , it turns out that , uh , max does n't approve of women that murder his boss 's girlfriend . ava : allegedly . scott : so , diane rang me up , and she said , `` you should take this case . `` so you can thank me now . ava : why would you help me after what i did to your son ? scott : oh , well , you 've done a lot of horrible things to my son . you 're gon na have to just be a little more specific . ava : i 'm -- [ sighs ] i 'm talking about the picture of nina holding the knife that killed silas . scott : oh , that . see , i thought you were gon na say , uh , letting him think that kiki was his daughter for 20 years . ava : [ sighs ] scott : but that one works , too . ava : i threatened to give that photo to the police . scott : yeah , that was very naughty of you . but due to my crackerjack lawyering , it all worked out . ava : you mean when you blew my cover on the stand ? do n't you think it 'll look a little odd for you to turn around and defend me now ? scott : no , i do n't . it 'll look like every lawyer who 's trying to make a buck . so , if i was you ... [ sighs ] i would wise up and hire me . because i have no qualms getting into bed with sonny 's enemies . [ scene_break ] lucas : sam rode with sonny in the ambulance . [ sighs ] paramedics could n't get him stabilized . she does n't know if he 's gon na make it . julian : did he ? lucas : i do n't know . last i heard , he was in surgery . julian : well , i hope ... [ breathes deeply ] i hope , for his family , he survives . lucas : for his family ? [ scoffs , chuckles ] listen to what you just said . do you have any idea what his family is going through right now ? the fear , t - the indecision , the bargaining with god ? waiting for the surgeon to come in and tell them hopefully good news ? they 're just sitting there waiting to see if he 's gon na live . [ scene_break ] patrick : the surgery was a success . we were able to remove the bullet without causing anymore damage . but he 's still in critical condition . morgan : thank you . thank you so much . thank you . carly : morgan , come on . patrick : sonny came through the surgery just fine , but there 's a lot more work to be done . carly : okay , what does that mean ? patrick : he 's not out of the woods yet . [ scene_break ] scott : ava , ava , ava ... after all this , you have no faith in me ? ava : faith does n't mean so much in the face of evidence . you used to be the da . you know the prosecution will bury me with that damn recording from aj 's phone . scott : not if they 're not in possession of it . ava : do n't you think i know that ? i figured if i could make that recording go away , then i could resume my life as a free woman . unfortunately , you quit the da 's office to defend franco , and now ric 's got the recording . and we both know he wo n't hesitate to use it . scott : let me say this a little slower . he ca n't if he does n't have it ! ava : of course , he has it . scott : no . i do . [ scene_break ] valerie : dante deserves to know we hit a snag . nathan : i know that . i just think we should wait , all right ? sonny 's prognosis is uncertain , at best , and ... dante 's probably losing his mind . valerie : yeah , but he 'll still want to know the status of the investigation . nathan : i get that . i just do n't think we should make it worse by bringing him bad news . we should just let him focus on his family . valerie : i am family -- extended family , anyway . look , i know he could use the distraction . nathan : yeah , i just do n't think that letting him know we 're not gon na be able to keep julian is the distraction he needs . valerie : why are you on my case ? is this because you think maxie does n't like me ? nathan : no , this has nothing to do with maxie . valerie : then what is it ? nathan : look ... i know . valerie : know what ? nathan : i know about you and dante . okay ? i know you slept together . [ scene_break ] lulu : what do you think you need forgiveness for ? dante : uh , what i said to sonny . lulu : what did you say to sonny ? dante : [ sighs ] last night , when i was with him , i , uh ... i should 've just been talking to him and ... comforting him as a son , and , uh ... instead , i got angry and told him that he chose his way of life with the violence , and i ... i blamed him for lying in that bed and being shot and causing us pain , and then that 's when the machines went off . his heart stopped , and that 's , um ... pretty much because of me . lulu : no , it 's not because of you . dante : yeah , patrick said to reassure him , not unload on him . lulu : sonny 's heart -- his heart stopped because the bullet changed position inside him . nothing you said did that . there is no reason for you to beat yourself up . dante : actually , that 's not true at all . [ scene_break ] julian : i do n't know what you want me to tell you . lucas : nothing . just listen . just listen to what i 'm gon na say . julian : all right . lucas : every morning , i walk into the er , and i 'm greeted by gunshot wounds , knife wounds , broken bones , bruises from people who 've been mugged by some random stranger or had the crap kicked out of them by somebody they know . and i see -- i see their families and their friends , and i have to talk to them . [ sighs ] sometimes , it 's good news , and sometimes i have to go to them , and i have to say , `` despite my best efforts , somebody that you love has died under my watch . `` julian : i 'm sorry . that must be terrible . lucas : yeah , it is . and thanks to the business -- the business -- there 's no end in sight . 'cause violence begets violence . every day , cops , mobsters , random thugs send somebody else to the hospital , another victim that i got to try to fix , another family that i do n't know how the hell to comfort . julian : you save lives . lucas : sometimes . but what if , the next time , it 's my family ? what if the next person they wheel in to my er is you ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay . we know he 's not going boxing , but can you tell us what we 're up against ? patrick : it 's too soon to say specifically . morgan : well , but can you give us , like ... [ sighs ] ... for instance , like , so we know what to expect ? patrick : he suffered an enormous trauma from that bullet wound . there 's swelling around his spine . once that subsides , we 'll be able to assess the damage and determine the long - term effects , if any . michael : [ sighs ] do you have any idea how long it 'll be till we know anything ? patrick : a few days . look , i realize that this is difficult for everybody . you 're gon na have to be there for him , okay ? you 're gon na need to support him through this . carly : of course . absolutely . we 're not going anywhere . morgan : yeah , no , definitely . olivia : so -- so , can we see him ? patrick : once we get him squared away , yes . olivia : okay , i 'm gon na go get dante and lulu . they 're gon na want to be here when he gets back . carly : thank you . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] valerie : me and dante ? where did you get that impression ? nathan : from dante . valerie : what ? nathan : he told me not long after it happened . valerie : he was so determined to keep this a secret . nathan : i know . i know . and , you know , look , he was torn up , all right ? he only said anything because he needed somebody to talk to . valerie : and you think it 's my fault . nathan : no . no , not at all . dante took full responsibility . valerie : how chivalrous of him . well , since dante 's keeping you in the loop , then you must know we have an understanding . we 're not supposed to mention this at all to anybody . nathan : i know . i got that . valerie : then why are you bringing it up ? nathan : because of the way you behave around him . valerie : how do i behave around dante ? nathan : let 's take right now for example . you have an update about a case that you want to relay . so , instead of calling him with that information , your first instinct is to go to him . valerie : yeah , that does n't mean that -- nathan : and -- and when we came back from the motel , the shooting that night , dante came in with blood all over his shirt , and you flipped out . valerie : i thought he was hurt . nathan : i know that , and i told that to maxie . valerie : what business is it of maxie 's ? nathan : let 's just say she noticed your ... extreme concern . valerie : okay , so , is this just you and maxie ? or does everyone in the office know about it ? nathan : i do n't know , all right ? not that i 've heard . look , i do n't even think maxie would 've given it a second thought if she was n't so protective of lulu . and maybe i 'm misreading this whole thing , and if that 's the case , you just say so , and i 'll back off . so , tell me . am i wrong ? valerie : no . [ scene_break ] lulu : please stop looking for reasons to blame yourself . sonny 's condition , it 's not your fault . dante : that 's not what i 'm talking about . olivia : i 'm so glad i found you . sonny 's out of surgery . they 're bringing him into the icu . dante : is he okay ? olivia : uh , well , so far so good . uh , i 'll tell you the rest on the way . lulu : okay , let 's go . olivia : yeah . [ scene_break ] ava : what did you just say ? scott : i said that i have the recording of you admitting to killing connie . ava : how is that possible ? scott : well , i took it with me when i left the da 's office . ava : not that i 'm not very happy about that , but ... why ? scott : it was a keepsake . it was my most prized possession -- not only you admitting that you killed connie , but sonny admitting that he killed aj quartermaine . this was gon na be my biggest triumph . i mean , corinthos has done so many horrible things to so many people , not to mention my daughter . ava : w -- i was not aware . scott : yeah . karen , my daughter , she 's dead , but that 's another story . but that recording was my chance to balance the scales . but , see , then , you died , and corinthos was pardoned , so the recording was worthless except to me . 'cause i kept it 'cause it kept me going , kept me angling for another shot at corinthos . ava : so , what ? so ... this little talisman -- you no longer need it to motivate you ? scott : well , it 's up here , see ? i have a good memory . but the recording is more important to you because ... without it , the da has nothing on you . ava : and i walk . scott : yeah , yeah , you would . so , for the very low , low price of , say ... [ sighs ] $ 5 million , it 's yours . is that fair ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i have feelings for dante . oh , it 's a been a while since i 've said that out loud . [ sighs ] it 's ... hard not to be attached to someone who 's made it a point to be there for you ... when your world is falling apart . nathan : [ sighs ] i understand . valerie : do you ? nathan : yeah . that 's kind of how maxie and i fell in love . valerie : you two love each other . you 're lucky . 'cause my feelings for dante are pretty much one - sided . nathan : and you wish they were n't ? valerie : no , i ... i 'm not selfish enough to wish my happiness at dante 's expense . dante is committed to his family . he loves lulu and rocco , and it would break his heart to lose them . i wo n't be the reason that happens . nathan : i 'm glad to hear that . i want , uh -- i want lulu and dante to move on together . valerie : that 's what we all want . nathan : [ sighs ] but i want you to be happy , too . valerie : why do you care if i 'm happy or not ? nathan : it 's who i am , i guess . look , lulu lied , and it spiraled . and because of that , three people -- four , if you count dillon -- made mistakes , and nobody had any evil intent , and nobody was out to hurt anybody , but i think the best thing that can happen is for this to just stay in the past , so we can all move on . valerie : well ... how about we start ... [ chuckles ] by honoring my agreement with dante and never speaking of this again ? nathan : that 's fine by me . besides , i , uh -- i know you 're seeing dillon . and maybe something good will come of that . valerie : maybe . [ telephone ringing ] nathan : ah , it 's the lab , finally . i hope they got something on julian . yeah , you got something for me ? [ scene_break ] lucas : you might walk out of here in a few hours , but sonny 's people are gon na blame you for the shooting . julian : then i 'll just have to be careful . [ cell door rattles ] lucas : shut up ! do n't do that , dad ! julian : [ sighs ] lucas : do n't act like a mob war and a death threat is not a big deal -- it is . morgan 's furious . julian : and morgan 's an idiot . lucas : well , morgan 's my nephew . a - a - and his dad might die . and all he knows is that the guy that used tj to lure sonny to the warehouse said he 's working for you . julian : somebody set me up ! i had nothing to do with any of this . lucas : well , like i said , i 'd love to believe that , but sonny 's people are n't going to , especially since you were in the vicinity of the shooting . julian : that should be exactly the reason why i 'm not behind this . look ... [ chuckles ] okay , if i was to hire somebody to take sonny out at some warehouse , do n't you think the last place i 'd want to be is at the same warehouse ? lucas : well , you 're telling me that if they search every inch of that place that they 're not gon na find any evidence that you 're involved ? julian : not a hair . not a print . not a fiber . i told you , these cops have no reason to hold me . lucas : [ chuckling ] oh , well , that 's great . great ! good for you , but we both know that the police are not your biggest problem . sonny 's people are gon na blame you for this . and sam 's worried they 're gon na retaliate . [ scene_break ] [ heart monitor beeping ] patrick : you can go in . one at a time , please . keep it brief . carly : honey , you go . you 've been the most anxious to see him . morgan : uh ... dante : carly , you go . it 's your time . michael : yeah . [ beeping continues ] [ scene_break ] ava : you want $ 5 million to represent me ? scott : no . i want $ 1 to represent you , and the rest is for the recording . ava : that 's ludicrous . it 's too much . scott : really ? $ 5 million for your freedom ? you were willing to become another person down to your dna and everything in your bones . ava : i did n't do that on purpose . it was a happy coincidence . scott : well , whatever . do you want to get out and see your kids ? i mean , if you do , you need to pony up right now and hire me . otherwise , that recording will find its way back into the da 's office . so how much is it worth ? how much is it worth to you for a life with your kids ? ava : if i do manage to get my hands on this kind of money , what assurances do i have that you 'll give me the recording ? scott : well , you 're just gon na have to trust me . okay . well , look at it this way -- the longer it 's in my possession , the better the chances of the pd tracking it back to me . so you 're kind of doing me a favor taking it off my hands . ava : a $ 5 million favor . scott : well , whoever said , `` the best things in life are free , `` was n't staring down the barrel of a life sentence . ava : that 's a lot of money . scott : well , i 'm sure you can get your little paws on it . ava : i may have something squirreled away . scott : your money or your life . ava : tell me , do you do custody cases ? scott : i do . ava : because i will need further representation . my first act as a free woman will be to take my daughter back from sonny and carly . [ scene_break ] [ heart monitor beeping ] carly : hey . it 's me . i 'm here . we 're all here -- morgan , dante , and michael . even olivia and lulu -- everybody wants to see you . patrick just said `` one at a time , `` because he thinks that you ca n't handle all of us coming in at once ... even though you came through the surgery with flying colors . i was so scared , sonny . i was so scared . but i should 've trusted you . i should 've known that you were n't gon na leave us . but you know me . i 'm never satisfied . i just need to be certain . [ chuckles ] i need to be certain that you 're gon na be okay . can you please open your eyes and come back to me . morgan : hey , hey , now that -- now that dad 's out of surgery , you need to remind jordan , okay , your boss , that dad warned her about julian already . dante : morgan , the commissioner is aware of the situation . morgan : no , no , no , no . yes . it is the pd 's fault that dad got shot . they did not move fast enough to get julian . michael : morgan , you need to ease up . you 're upsetting yourself . dante : julian is behind bars . he 's not going anywhere . valerie : i 'm sorry to intrude . lulu : do n't be silly . you 're family . olivia : yeah , and we got good news -- sonny 's out of surgery , and patrick says he 's gon na be okay . [ both sigh ] valerie : oh , i 'm so happy for all of you . michael : yeah . how are you feeling ? i know you had to leave early yesterday . valerie : i 'm fine , thanks . i was at work today . that 's actually why i 'm here . i 've got an update . morgan : about what ? about the investigation ? i mean , do they have evidence that julian shot my dad ? valerie : i 'm afraid it 's not good news . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] you know , i hate to say this , but ... [ sighs ] sam might be right . right before dante shanghaied me in here , morgan came after me . he 's pretty convinced that i tried to hurt his father . as a matter of fact , there was no reasoning with him . actually , there was no reasoning with either of them . lucas : well , their dad might be dying , so , i do n't know , maybe cut them a little slack . julian : well , of course , but sonny 's people are n't gon na be cutting me any slack . as a matter of fact , they 're probably loading their weapons right now . lucas : that does n't worry you a bit , huh ? julian : i 've lasted this long . lucas : [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] you know what everybody has in common up until the moment they die ? julian : what 's that ? lucas : they 've lasted this long . [ buzzer , door opens ] julian : i know you 're concerned , and i know you think i 'm just posturing ... lucas : yeah . julian : ... but trust me -- i can take care of myself . lucas : well , i hope you 're right , dad . [ keys rattle ] nathan : well , jerome , it 's your lucky day . you 're in the clear , for now , as far as the pd 's concerned . julian : [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] valerie : the test for gunpowder residue on julian came back negative . without corroborating evidence , nathan had to let him go . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , what ? the guy that shot my dad is just going free now ? [ scene_break ] carly : sonny , everybody wants to see you , especially morgan . oh , he 's having such a hard time . he 's so scared . but he just needs to know that you 're gon na be all right . and i need to know that , too . so can you do it for me and the boys ? can you open up your eyes and come back to us ? sonny ? hey . [ sighing ] hey . [ next_on ] morgan ( to michael ) : dad saved him . he owes us . ava ( to julian ) : i 'm gon na get my baby back . sonny ( to carly ) : the only reason i got through this was because of you and the kids . nathan ( to dante ) : there 's something you 've got ta know . scott ( to judge ) : why is he asking for a continuance ? molly : welcome back ! alexis : i 'm not alone !

there is still uncertainty with sonny 's outcome as he remains unconscious . patrick informs his family that surgery went well but he ca n't promise anything encouraging and it 's all still uncertain . morgan makes it clear he might want to take the law into his own hands with julian . although it appears obvious that julian had sonny shot right when ava informed him that something has to be done in order to prevent sonny from marrying carly and having the two of them taking ava 's baby from her , julian appears very confident that the cops have nothing on him . the pcpd does , in fact , realize they can not keep julian in custody any longer so nathan goes to release him . as soon as morgan finds that out , he is clearly not going to `` accept `` that . nathan admits to valerie that he is aware that she slept with dante . he and maxie are friends of dante and lulu and he does not approve however he concludes that he can see that she respects his friends ' marriage just like he does , he assumes it was just a `` one time thing `` , realizes she is now seeing dylan quartermaine and so he is willing to put it in the past and forget about it . little does he ( or anyone else for that matter ) know that it 's not that simple since she is pregnant .

[ scene_break ] zander : thank you , penny . look , lydia , if you 're going to get paranoid like this every time emily and nikolas are together , then you 're going to wind up in a padded cell . lydia : so nikolas is welcome in your home anytime ? zander : i did n't say that . lydia : what ? he can only come over when emily needs a little handy work done ? zander : ok , lydia , i get why you 're like this . you 're in a marriage with a guy that does n't even like you . i mean , that 's got to wreak havoc on your ego . lydia : at least i 'm willing to face the facts instead of hiding in some romantic fantasy . emily is in love with nikolas . she has been for months . it 's the reason that you broke up with her . zander : that 's in the past . lydia : you think emily 's feelings for nikolas have just evaporated into thin air ? zander : emily never would have married me if she was in love with nikolas . lydia : so that 's why nikolas is with her right now and you are n't ? zander : ok , lydia , i would n't put it past nikolas to try and make a move on my wife , but if he does , emily 's going to turn him down . lydia : hmm . pure , faithful emily . zander : emily loves me . she 'd never cheat on me . lydia : keep telling yourself that if it makes you happy , right up until the moment you walk in on your wife with nikolas in bed . [ scene_break ] scott : so let me get this straight . sonny 's little sister ran down elizabeth . ric : that 's right . scott : what if she has an alibi ? ric : she does n't . scott : well , humor me . if she does , then we 've just moved down the list to sonny , huh ? ric : ok , you know what ? you 're not hearing me , scott . scott : and then down to jason . what about carly ? everybody knows what a lousy driver she is . oh , you know what ? we 'll pin it on the little tyke , michael -- hell on wheels ! ric : you know what ? let me know when you 're finished , ok ? scott : i 'm finished and i 'm done with you . now get out of here . you 're just trying to get back at your brother . ric : no , this has nothing to do with sonny . scott : well , it should because i do n't particularly like him . however , there 's a thing called evidence judges and juries -- they tend to get hung up on . ric : scott , i 'm a lawyer . i would n't have come to you if i did n't have hard evidence against courtney . scott : really ? well , then , show me something . ric : look , courtney and elizabeth have never been friends . all of a sudden , courtney shows up tonight at the hospital to visit elizabeth ? scott : they work together . you know , a little shop gossip . ric : she was asking her about the accident . scott : chit - chatting over tea and muffins . ric : elizabeth can describe the car that hit her . scott : since when ? ric : since about a couple of hours ago when she miraculously had this vision of the car approaching her at the moment of the accident . scott : then why did n't she come to me ? ric : because courtney does not want her to ! am i getting through to you yet ? [ scene_break ] carly : ok , we need to think and not just react in the moment . i just did that . please do n't make the same mistake . courtney : but i hit her . carly : ok , like sonny said , you ca n't remember , so you do n't know for sure . courtney : yeah , carly , i do n't remember because i took too many pills . sonny : you 're ashamed you took the pills . does n't mean you hit elizabeth . carly : that 's right . i mean , do n't let your guilt over one thing spill into something else and take the blame for something you did n't do . courtney : carly , alcazar saw me . sonny : forget alcazar . he tried to kidnap carly , it did n't work out , so now he wants to be your friend , act like a hero , plan her gratitude ? well , heroes like to save people . carly 's not available , so you 're the next best thing . courtney : lorenzo alcazar treats me like dirt . sonny : no , i 'll tell you what 's happening , ok ? he 's using you as leverage . he sees you in a park , right ? you 're upset , you 're on pills . he knows elizabeth webber got run down . he knows you 're out of town . he steals your car , smashes the front end , and convinces carly that you 're in trouble . courtney : you know i did it . you all know i did it . that 's why you 're trying so hard to explain it away . jason : courtney , we 're looking for a way out here . for some reason , you do n't want to find it .

[ scene_break ] sonny : faith ai n't even in the prison van , and you 're already trying to accuse me of killing her . ric : well , it 's a reasonable conclusion , is n't it ? i mean , you 've wanted faith out of the way for a long time . why would you let a small obstacle like prison get in the way ? sonny : what are you talking about , ric ? if i wanted faith dead , i would have killed her in that room in the tunnels under wyndemere . ric : oh . sonny : cassadines would have found her body maybe 10 , 15 years later , but you know what ? i did the right thing . i called the authorities because i 'm a law- abiding citizen . ric : is that right ? sonny : right . ric : oh , but it is a lot cleaner for you to have her meet with an accident , right ? sonny : well , i do n't know . maybe it 's cleaner for you . ric : what ? sonny : you know what i mean ? because it 's kind of embarrassing that the d.a . slept with a convicted felon . but you know what ? you 've done a lot worse , right ? alexis : ric ? sonny : a hell of a lot worse . alexis : ric ? do you think i could have a word with you about the mary bishop case ? sonny : have fun . [ sonny laughs ] jason : how long are you going to wait ? sonny : it 's not going to happen . faith agreed to a plea bargain on my word that she 's going to stay safe in pentonville . justus : i 'm trusting you on this , right ? sonny : you 're trusting me on this ? you made a serious mistake , justus . faith is not worth whatever you 're giving up to save her . justus : so long as she stays alive . sonny : what are you going to do ? are you going to wait 10 years ? you going to wait 10 years ? is that what you 're going to do ? you might as well go back to that monastery -- you know what i 'm saying ? -- and try to stay faithful . no pun intended . justus : i 'm not going anywhere , sonny . i 'm staying right here . [ scene_break ] [ ric sighs ] alexis : you made two good points . ric : yeah , you would tend to think so . alexis : if he killed faith rosco , he would set himself up for a murder charge , and he might also eliminate a potentially embarrassing association from your past . ric : `` embarrassing `` ? alexis , my half brother is a mob kingpin . as the district attorney , i do n't think it gets any more embarrassing than that . alexis : regrettably , i think that he won that round . ric : yeah . alexis : i hope you have a plan b . ric : look , i 'm not the only person who 's trying to take my brother down . somebody else could be waiting in the wings .

[ scene_break ] mac : why did you initially refuse to answer questions about mary bishop 's death ? emily : jason did n't want me to . mac : what was his reason ? nikolas : he 's paranoid , that 's why . i 'm sorry , emily , i know you love him , but let 's be honest here . jason 's an alleged criminal , been arrested dozens of times ; does n't answer any questions . am i right ? mac : `` i do n't want to answer anything without my lawyer `` is about it . nikolas : look , emily is jason 's little sister and he adores her , but i do n't agree with his methods of protecting her . he told her -- he told her to follow his example , to stay silent , even though she had done nothing wrong . mac : i 'd like to hear from emily . emily : it happened exactly the way -- the way nikolas said . jason came into the room ; he asked me not to answer . and he 's my brother , i respect him , so that 's what i did . mac : but after you gave a statement to ric lansing ? nikolas : i convinced emily to cooperate . mac : with some help from lucky and elizabeth , right ? emily : they encouraged me to make a statement , yes . mac : after the four of you came up with a cover story ? nikolas : no . no , mac , that 's not -- no . mac : whoever killed mary bishop had medical knowledge to alter the meds . elizabeth is a nurse , and you are premed . nikolas : so -- so what ? there 's -- there 's tons of nurses and doctors in the hospital . mac : none of whom had motive . nikolas : well , they could have been paid to change the meds . why jump to the conclusion that it was emily ? mac : i 'm not jumping to anything , nikolas . i 'm trying to find another suspect -- someone capable of killing mary and covering their tracks . [ helena laughs ] tracy : i 'm partial to white flowers . helena : oh , white lilies would be my pick . tracy : always an elegant choice . helena : yes , and classic in keeping with the tone we 're trying to set . nikolas : i must be hallucinating here . emily : what are you up to now ? helena : oh , my darlings , in honor of your betrothal , tracy and i have decided to end the hostilities between our families and join together in helping you plan the perfect wedding . [ scene_break ] ric : you know , sonny 's going to wind up dead or in prison someday . i mean , you 'd only last inevitably and it 's because it 's the law of averages . he deserves what he gets , but i just -- i ca n't help but thinking that it 's -- what it 's going to do to his kids . alexis : if sonny 's ever brought to justice , then the kids will have to be protected . ric : i know that . there 's nothing more precious than a child . alexis : being a parent changes your perspective on pretty much every level . ric : hmm . you know , i have n't led the most exemplary life , but i 'd like to think that if the child that elizabeth and i almost had had survived , then , i do n't know , maybe i would have been a good father . alexis : i 'm sure that you would have . ric : yeah , who knows ? maybe i 'll get that chance sometime . [ knock on door ] felicia : excuse me . i 'm sorry . i 'm looking for mac . have you seen him ? ric : he 's not here . can i help you ? felicia : it 's business . it 's a case he asked me to look into . ric : well , i am the district attorney , so any information will eventually come to me . so , is there something i can do ? felicia : i 've found a nurse at general hospital who knows something about the murder of mary bishop . she 's just outside . ric : look , in light of the fact that you are representing nikolas , maybe you should sit this one out . alexis : well , if it 's pertinent to the case , then i should probably -- ric : well , i 'll let you know as soon as i do , ok ? felicia : donna harris , this is d.a . lansing . ric : how do you do ? donna : hi . ric : i understand that you might know something about the night mary bishop died ? donna : well , it 's not what i know . it 's what i saw .

[ helena sighs ] [ scene_break ] mac : ok , sure . well , there 's been a break in the mary bishop homicide . i 'm afraid you 're going to have to come downtown . [ scene_break ] mike : sonny has always been a little over the top when it comes to his kids . sam : yeah , i know . i saw that firsthand during the custody battle with carly . mike : look , i abandoned sonny and his mother , and it shames me to admit it . but sonny still carries that pain deep inside , and that is why he overcompensates with his own kids . he 's possessive . he wants to make sure that no one ever hurts them , so in sonny 's mind ; he has to be a constant presence in his children 's lives as more than a father . he has to protect them . sam : yeah , but the problem is he feels that he has to protect her from me . me . me and jason ? come on . mike : all right , all right , i think that maybe sonny 's ashamed about the way he treated you , and , therefore , that since he wo n't deal with it , it makes him act badly . sam : ok , so , what am i supposed to do , mike ? fight back ? wo n't that make everything worse ? i 'm -- mike : just be honest with sonny . reassure him that you want what is best for that baby , just like he does . and make it clear that he will always have a place in her life as her father . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . are you ok ? sonny : yeah , yeah . why should n't i be ? carly : it 's no reason . i just -- i guess i 'm just worried about faith , that 's all . sonny : actually , faith agreed to a plea bargain . she 's going to prison . carly : ok , but it does n't mean you can take your safety for granted , sonny . you know what ? we 've just got our family back together and things are going well . we ca n't take a chance on losing that .

[ scene_break ] emily : alexis , why do they need me to come in ? alexis : someone stepped forward with new evidence . nikolas : what sort of evidence ? alexis : as your attorney , i was excluded from the interview due to a conflict of interest . nikolas : all right . what 's going on , ric ? ric : well , apparently , commissioner scorpio here went to an outside source to investigate mary bishop 's murder . that source has found a nurse who can positively i.d . the person who gave mary the medication that killed her . lucky : that 's impossible . ric : really ? lucky : elizabeth and i were there and we saw no one . ric : well , she saw you there at the time , lucky . she also said that she saw exactly what you did . now , if that 's true , it appears you 're covering up the murder . [ scene_break ] sonny : what was so important you could n't say it over the phone ? coleman : well , i could , but i figured it 's easier to negotiate sensitive matters -- sonny : you know what ? there 's no need to -- you either tell me now , or -- you know what ? you 'll be negotiating your next breath . coleman : take it easy . sonny : no , i 'm not going to take it easy because i 'm -- you know what ? i do n't have the patience right now . coleman : somebody 's been sniffing around your wife , sonny , asking a whole lot of questions . [ scene_break ] jason : if someone 's after sonny , carly , i need to know . carly : everyone 's after sonny . that 's the point . someone had an agent dress up as a maid and come to our hotel room in new york and bug it , and sonny said it was a one - time thing , but -- jason : ok , the feds probably assumed that sonny was in town for a meeting , they planted the bug to find out when and where , but nothing happened , carly . sonny 's fine , he 's home . carly : so there 's no chance that they could have followed us here ? jason : there 's always that chance . just tell me what 's going on . carly : i 'm just worried , jason . i do n't know , you can call it paranoia or free - floating anxiety . i do n't know . i just have this feeling that no matter how cautious we all are that one day somebody is going to break past sonny 's defenses and they 're just going to destroy our whole family . [ scene_break ] john : i spoke to lansing . the forensics job is yours . steven : he told me . thanks . john : have you found anything else about carly corinthos ? have you made contact yet ? steven : yeah . believe it or not , we spent a couple of hours shooting pool . john : and ? steven : she 's smart and she 's capable , absolutely charming . she has a killer game of pool . john : hmm . well , there 's one gene we do n't share . anything else ? how we 're related ? steven : well , she was adopted and she grew up in florida . she came to port charles as an adult to try and find her birth mother . john : hmm . anything else ? steven : she 's loyal to corinthos . she has no liking for cops . when she found out i was working with the pcpd , she shut down . she told me never to approach her again . john : well , find a way to change her mind . i need to know everything there is about mrs. corinthos , especially how we 're related . if it turns out that she is my daughter , then i will use that information to nail sonny corinthos to a prison wall . steven : you 're willing to use the woman who could be your own daughter ? john : whatever works . steven : carly could have some other reason for seeking you out . john : not likely . carly goes looking after her father , finds out that i 'm her husband 's worst nightmare , she backs off . all i need is proof that she 's my daughter . that 's up to you . i 'll take care of the rest . [ scene_break ] ric : you stated that you did n't see anyone leaving mary bishop 's room the night that she died . now , either your powers of perception are surprisingly poor , or there 's something you 're leaving out . lucky : everything i said is in my statement . ric : ok , well , as long as you understand withholding information could cost you your badge , lucky . mac , i assume that you went outside the pcpd and you asked felicia to investigate because you suspected that lucky here was covering for nikolas and emily . she found proof . i want officer spencer suspended without pay , pending an investigation by i.a . emily : but you ca n't do that , ric . ric : i can not do what , uncover the truth ? alexis : she rose to the defense of a friend . that 's a perfectly natural impulse . ric : ah , yes , it is , of course . is that all it was ? emily : yes . ric : ok , i may want to file charges of obstruction of justice against officer spencer here . you may want to stick around . you can talk to ms. davis here about representation . maybe she can put together a package deal . alexis : are you finished ? ric : not quite . i 'm going to talk to nurse harris in here . she 's going to look through the photos and i.d . the person who actually gave mary those pills .

nikolas : yeah , lucky told me that the two of you are getting married . again . elizabeth : that 's right . nikolas : and you accepted after we 'd just been together ? elizabeth : i could n't say no . nikolas : really ? how could you do that to him ? to yourself ? [ scene_break ] maxie : oh ! i 'm having a panic attack and i ca n't breathe . robin : okay . okay . breathe . calm down . listen . everything is going to be fine . you organized my entire wedding , and i 'm going to help you with yours . the floral arrangements are being picked out . the cake is picked out . the reception 's being organized . all you have to do is figure out where the ceremony 's going to be . and no pressure , but you should probably figure out that pretty quickly because we might be having it in jake 's parking lot . maxie : oh , okay . thank you for your help . i 'm sure this will be the most tasteful , elegant mistake of my life . robin : maxie ? come here . listen . everyone has wedding jitters . maxie : no , robin , this is -- this is a little more than jitters . spinelli could have died last night . i could just as easily be planning his funeral , kicking myself that i did n't elope with him the second he proposed . robin : then what 's the problem ? maxie : i love him , and he loves me , but i thought i had worked past all my concerns and was ready to sprint to the altar . and then , spinelli mentioned the daughter he hopes to have one day , and i felt locked right back in that little box trying to get some air . robin : so spinelli wants kids . maxie : that 's what he says . i just want to go on loving spinelli the way we do now . why does he keep trying to ruin everything ? robin : why do you keep letting him ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : it is conventional wisdom that you have an aversion to wedded bliss , but until this moment , it never occurred to me that that aversion could apply to my situation . jason : well , no . only you know how you feel for maxie . i 'm not going to sit here and judge you guys . spinelli : as best man , one would expect you to have some sort of vested interest . jason : if you want to be married to maxie , i genuinely wish you guys both the best . spinelli : are you sure that 's how you feel ? [ scene_break ] sonny : what i 'm trying to say to you is , i do n't think johnny is going to be happy to see -- claudia : wait a second . listen to me , okay ? johnny would never throw me out of his room if he was n't overly medicated , if he was n't just coming off anesthesia , hopped up full of painkillers . sonny : all right . you know what ? i just hate to see you get hurt again , you know ? claudia : thank you for caring , sonny . that means a lot to me . [ scene_break ] michael : look , i know what i heard . jax confessed to me while i was in the coma . he said he was sorry . sam : a lot of people were sorry about what happened to you . michael : yeah , but he said that my mom would never forgive him if she found out . so maybe that adds up to jax trying to kill my father . and if he did it once , what makes you think he wo n't try it again ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucky loves me . he wants to raise cameron and jake and spend the rest of our lives together . nikolas : i understand that . but what do you want ? elizabeth : not to hurt him again . nikolas : liz , if you 're going to marry him because you feel guilty over being with me , honestly , what are the chances that it can ever work between the two of you ? elizabeth : we do n't speak about that night . it never happened . nikolas : oh . well , i know you , and i know that you 're just trying to do the right thing , but you can not marry him carrying this secret around with you . it 's the same kind of lie that tore the two of you apart the last time . elizabeth : lucky deserves to be happy . he wants this . and i 'm going to make it happen . [ footsteps ] lucky : hey . so it 's not so easy to keep a secret around here . [ scene_break ] maxie : i love spinelli . i 'm sure of that . but i 'm still freaking out . robin : okay . if you could have anything you want right now , what would that be ? maxie : spinelli . i mean , he 's the man that i want to be with . it 's just , getting married -- not the wedding . the ceremony i can totally handle . but the actual being married part ? well , when i think about it , it makes me want to go lay on a beach on the other side of the planet by myself . robin : that 's not good . maxie : i know that . um , do you think i 'm awful ? robin : oh , hello . i mean , i was the one that said `` no `` to patrick a hundred times . maxie : that 's totally different because patrick was willing to stick with you whether or not you guys got married . robin : and you do n't think spinelli would ? maxie : i ca n't risk that . i mean , spinelli 's all about eternal vows and courtly love . if i bail on him , it could be a huge mistake . robin : okay . marrying spinelli , or anyone , when you 're not sure , is not the answer . maxie : robin , look at me . i 've made a lifetime of bad decisions . and i 'm thinking it 's probably about time i get something right , so i will marry spinelli , even if i break out in hives . but you have to be there to help me . [ scene_break ] spinelli : understandably , with the overabundance of danger and intrigue over the last few days , you 've been ... less than attentive to your responsibilities as best man . jason : wait , hold on . you really have n't asked me to do anything yet , right ? spinelli : i 'm all too aware that the list of duties contains many things that you might have antipathy for , and i mean , among them , any participation in pre - wedding festivities , the ritual of a bachelor party . i mean , has stone cold even given any thought to who could or should lead the chicken dance ? jason : i 'm not going to answer that question . spinelli : okay . which limits the duties of best man to what , a bastion of moral support , bearer of the wedding rings , the witness of record at the ceremony ? recent events have given the jackal pause vis - à - vis the mob prince 's heroism without which i would be a perforated corpse . and indeed , john zacchara has proven to be a true friend . so ... if you -- if this is too much for you -- jason : no , no -- spinelli : if you do n't want to do it -- jason : if you want johnny to be your best man , that 's okay . i mean , that works . [ spinelli sighs ] [ scene_break ] jax : did n't realize you were coming over . sam : i did n't , either . carly : hi . i did n't know we had company . sam : hi . michael : why is it such a big deal ? sam just came to see me . sam : no . actually , i just -- i wanted to make sure everyone was okay after yesterday 's shooting . you could n't be more careful -- carly : what shooting ? sam : um ... i -- i thought you knew . i 'm sorry . i guess sonny did n't want to alarm you . jax : has there been trouble with sonny 's business ? sam : no . no . there is nothing to worry about . you know me . i just get overly cautious . jax : no , no , no . if sonny 's putting my family in danger again , i need to know about it . michael : why do you always assume the worst ? carly : okay . excuse me , michael , but i agree with jax . i want to know what 's going on . sam : i am sure sonny or jason will contact you if it 's necessary . jax : okay , no . you open that door , sam , you may as well walk through it . now , what kind of trouble is sonny in ? [ scene_break ] claudia : you can leave now . olivia : it 's not going to happen . claudia : i want you gone . olivia : yeah ? well , what matters right now is what johnny wants , and he made it very clear that he wants me to stay , and he wants you to get the hell out . claudia : my brother was too drugged to even know what he was saying , olivia . [ olivia sighs ] johnny : i 'll say it again , then , so there 's no mistake . please leave , claudia . claudia : i ca n't believe you 'd say that to me . olivia : your brother is lying in intensive care . could you just let your drama wait until he 's strong enough to handle it ? sonny : you 're the one who should probably leave , olivia . johnny : sonny , let 's not pretend that you 're trying to protect claudia here . sonny : no , i -- johnny : you do n't want olivia here with me . sonny : i just got business to discuss , and it ca n't wait . and she 's already made it clear to me that she does n't want any part of the mob . so you may want to leave before , you know , you hear something you do n't want to hear . olivia : sonny , he is not strong enough to discuss business with you right now . johnny : no , it 's okay . the sooner he says what he came here to say , the sooner both of them can leave . olivia : are you sure ? johnny : promise me you 'll come back , huh ? olivia : okay . [ scene_break ] spinelli : rest assured , i have but one mentor , and though the mob prince 's rescue was spectacular , it pales in comparison to the many times that you 've saved my life . jason : you do n't really have to explain to me . i think johnny will be a great best man , and he did just save your life , okay ? spinelli : i 'm touched by stone cold 's nobility and sacrifice , which proves to me what i already know -- that you are my truest friend . and with all gratitude to the mob prince , it is clear that -- jason : i 'm just saying i really do n't mind if -- spinelli : well , i do mind . this discussion has confirmed to me that i made the right choice in you . jason : thank you . spinelli : you know , most are unaware of the fact that , in the earliest tradition of marriage , the function of the best man was to be the groom 's other self . so in that sense , had anthony zacchara 's minions been successful in taking my life on the way to the church , stone cold would have to stand in my place and marry my bride . [ scene_break ] maxie : so what 's your opinion about spinelli and me getting married ? robin : you honestly want to know ? maxie : mm - hmm . robin : okay . i think spinelli is the best thing that 's ever happened to you , especially compared to the other guys you 've been with . he gives you confidence . he makes you happy . i mean , spending the rest of your life with spinelli would be a wonderful thing . but that does n't mean you have to get married right now . you both are so young . you have so much time . i guess i just do n't understand why you ca n't be together and be in love . maxie : but if we 're going to be together and be in love , why should n't we just get married anyway ? robin : because you 're not sure . maxie : what if i 'm wrong ? robin : i think you should trust your instincts on this one . something is telling you to put the brakes on . listen to yourself . you 'll know when the time is right to get married . maxie : well , wait . how did you know when the time was right ? like , what changed your mind about patrick ? robin : well , there was a day when i realized i trusted patrick completely , and all of my doubts disappeared . maxie : well , then , that 's my answer . i mean , i already trust spinelli completely . i just wish he had n't started talking about having kids so soon . not that that 's a bad thing , but you were just a little older than me when you had emma . robin : okay . but you need to be honest with spinelli about the whole kids thing . maxie : oh , no , do n't worry . if spinelli wants to start a family early , i 'll just start taking the pill . robin : oh , maxie . if you ca n't talk to your future husband about these things , you should have doubts . maxie : do you know how hurt spinelli would be if he thought that i did n't want to have a child with him ? i 'll just start taking birth control and tell him that i have fertility issues or something . robin : maxie , i do n't think that -- maxie : problem solved . thank you so much , robin !

[ scene_break ] [ olivia scoffs ] olivia : is that yours ? you used to have one exactly like that about a thousand years ago . dominic : this is morgan 's . he lent it to me for good luck . olivia : ohh . i remember you wore that thing , when you were about 11 , every single day for a year . that thing was so big , it came down over your eyes . you could n't even see the ball to swing . but you did n't care . you would n't take it off . dominic : that was before my head got so swollen . olivia : you were so cute going off to those yankees games with sal and vito . dominic : you know what ? i was just thinking about those games when i was talking with morgan about that new stadium . olivia : you know , i do n't think it 's a very good idea , you getting so tight with him like that . dominic : well , then you 're definitely not going to like the fact that he 's invited me to go live at their house when i get out of here . olivia : what did carly and jax have to say about that ? dominic : they said `` we 'll see , `` which , whenever you said that , i knew it was a no . olivia : well , good . they should say no . you should n't be living there . i mean , that morgan , he 's a great little kid . he already thinks that you hung the moon . dominic : you know , i just do n't want to see morgan get hurt . olivia : well , how do you think he 's going to feel when he finds out that you 're using him to -- dominic : look , i 'm not , i swear to you . i think the whole situation is sad . his brother goes into a coma for a year . he wakes up and has all these expectations . then all of a sudden , he does n't even spend any time with him . the kid is looking for an older brother . olivia : yes , i see that , and i understand why he would pick you . but ... morgan does n't know that you 're an undercover cop who 's trying to put his dad in jail .

[ johnny scoffs ] johnny : right . i planned an ambush and ran right into it . i 'm not suicidal . sonny : could be you lost your nerve and took dominic 's place at the last minute to shut it down . you got caught in the crossfire . which would mean ... pretty much got what you deserved .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucky was n't the only one who cheated in our marriage . you know i had an affair with jason . lucky : because i was sleeping with maxie . elizabeth : yeah , but you wanted to make amends . you wanted to start over . and i was n't honest . lainey : so lucky , what was the worst part of finding out elizabeth cheated on you ? lucky : being lied to , not just about the affair . elizabeth : uh . ahh . well , it turns out that jason is jake 's biological father . lainey : oh . i see . elizabeth : yeah . i lied a lot to a lot of people , and i just do n't want to hurt each other anymore . lainey : is it over with jason ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah . and he agreed to let lucky raise jake as his own . lainey : is that what you want , lucky ? lucky : absolutely . elizabeth and i want the same things , and i love elizabeth . and i love being a father to those boys . i just want to give elizabeth the happiness and security she deserves , something i did n't give her in the past . lainey : what makes this time different ? lucky : 'cause i 'm prepared to do the work . i 'm stronger . i 'm active in my 12-step program . and i know what matters . i did n't have a lot of security in my life when i was a kid . my father , he was my hero , and i loved my mother , but the last thing we 'd probably call him is reliable . elizabeth : and you 're nothing like your dad . lucky : but i still judge myself . lainey : is it possible you need elizabeth to validate you ? lucky : now ? maybe in the past , but ... now , we trust each other . we rely on each other . lainey : you guys are doing great . the commitment you have to making it work puts you so far ahead of the game . same time next week ? elizabeth : sounds good . lucky : all right . lainey : good to see you . elizabeth : thank you . lucky : thanks . lainey : bye . elizabeth : ohh . lucky : wow . you okay ? elizabeth : yeah . i 'm great . you ? lucky : great . i think you were right to suggest counseling . i think it 's exactly what we need . if we 're ever going to have a marriage that lasts , we need to continue to stay open and honest with each other . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] johnny : sonny already left . jason : i just got some questions about the attack on the warehouse . johnny : hmm . that 's refreshing . you 're the first person who 's shown up here who has n't asked how i 'm feeling . jason : i 've been shot enough to know how you feel . i mean , you 're so pumped up on this pain medication , you ca n't think , or if you refuse the medication , all you can think about is the pain . so if you can , i need to know what you remember about the attack on the warehouse . johnny : i 'll tell you the same thing i told sonny , jason . i had nothing to do with it . jason : yeah , johnny , look , i know that . johnny : good . jason : i understand that . but you have insight into anthony . i mean , what do you think his next move can be ? do you think he 's going to come back and attack the corinthos family again ? johnny : you need to assume the absolute worst . lot of innocent people could end up as collateral damage . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , you could have gotten yourself killed yesterday , and i 'm not talking about the carnival , either . that shoot - up at the warehouse with anthony zacchara 's people , that was supposed to be you in there . dominic : all right . what can i say ? i 'm the luckiest man alive , alive being the operative -- olivia : why do n't you tell that to johnny , hmm ?

[ scene_break ] sam : i am so sorry . i had to come up with some excuse . i hope i did n't open up a can of worms . michael : well , at least you got to see how jax is about my father . he blames dad for everything . sam : yeah , but jax and sonny have a lot of history . maybe jax has his reasons . [ michael scoffs ] michael : you sound like my mother . everybody 's so worried about defending jax that they do n't want to look at what he might have done to get rid of my father . sam : you 're basing this all on a memory that you think you might have had while you were in a coma . michael : no , i remember , jax was all sorts of sorry . it 's not hard to believe that he would try to get rid of my father , especially if he convinced himself that it was for my mom or for morgan and me . sam : i 'm sorry . i know jax . he 's a corporate raider . he 's not a murderer . michael : yeah , but his brother is , and he said that he should have known better than to trust jerry . sam : okay . but listen , this is a very far leap from having your stepfather at your bedside saying he 's sorry , and that being your memory , to now accusing him of assassinating , or trying to assassinate , your father . michael : okay . well , you know what else he said ? that if my mom found out , she 'd never forgive him . how do you explain that ? look . if he had anything to do with this , i need to know . sam : okay . then what do you do ? michael : i do n't know . do you have any idea how hard it is to stay at home and try to pretend that everything 's okay , to sit down for breakfast together , to watch him and my mom get ready for this new baby ? i mean , i 'm supposed to go to his office today . i ca n't even believe the guy . sam : no , no . okay . okay . but you can not say anything to jax . not anybody . not yet . michael : then prove it was n't him . sam : oh , my god . michael , you know what ? a lot of people have been trying to figure out what happened , especially jason . jax 's name never came up . ever .

brenda : so i guess your life is completely different now . you 've evolved . sonny does n't give orders , and you do n't follow them anymore . jason : sonny did n't send me . brenda : wow . you 're such an incredible liar . jason : why would i lie ? brenda : is that a serious question , why would you lie ? well , because i know that sonny is facing murder charges , and he knows that i want him to focus on that and not worry about me . so he sent you to keep me safe .

[ scene_break ] jax : all you are to sonny is a means to an end . he led you on . he waited for you to compromise yourself so you 're no longer a threat . he 's done that with other women before . claire : i 'm well aware of sonny 's pattern . jax : and you still fell into his trap . do n't you see that by going on record and saying that you have a conflict of interest , sonny has neutralized the prosecutor who had the best chance of taking him down ? claire : that 's why i did it . i needed to level the playing field . now i 'll know if sonny wants me for me .

[ scene_break ] dante : when i was working in the city , i met a woman on the job , and it got personal , for me . when the time came , we walked away , except it was n't as easy as i thought it would be . so the only way i could forget about her was if i moved on with someone else . so i did . sonny : well , looks like we 're more alike than i realized . [ dante scoffs ] [ scene_break ] claire : as long as i was in a position to prosecute sonny , i had to assume any attention he paid to me was motivated by his desire to stay out of a prison cell . so with my job out of the way , sonny does n't have to manipulate me anymore . we 're free to figure out what we can be to each other . jax : with your job out of the way ? listen to yourself . when i brought you on to be prosecutor , i basically handed you your career . and what are you doing ? you 're throwing it all away , for what -- so you can be caught in the crossfire next time one of sonny 's enemies decides to take a shot at him ? let me ask you this , claire . is your life worth so little that you would throw everything away to be with a man who brings nothing but pain to the people that get close to him ? why do you think it 's going to be any different for you ? claire : i do n't need your approval , and i certainly do n't owe you any explanations . you withheld crucial information about claudia corinthos ' murder . you want to talk about being blindsided ? i got the rug yanked out from under me in front of a courtroom of people . jax : and that is nothing compared to what sonny is going to do to you . you 're going to wake up one morning and realize that you 've lost everything , that you 've thrown it all away -- your career and your self - respect , all to be with a man who 's looking for his next conquest . claire : i get you not liking your wife 's ex , but something tells me this goes way beyond carly . what or whom did sonny take from you ? [ scene_break ] brenda : look , i know about sonny 's attempted murder charge , and i 'm sure he heard that i 'm in more trouble . so he sent you , right ? jason : no . charges were dropped . brenda : oh . well , that 's great . that 's great . but he told you that he saw me ? jason : he did n't say anything about you . brenda : no ? jason : no . brenda : oh . well , it 's good that the charges are dropped . his kids need him . jason : and you need more security , and we need to figure that out , because i really want to go home , so -- brenda : so , is sonny seeing anyone ? jason : he 's not married , if that 's what you 're asking me . brenda : i mean , is he involved with anyone ? jason : uh , i do n't -- i do n't think it 's serious . brenda : hmm .

[ lisa chuckles ] [ scene_break ] carly : it 's no big deal , okay ? i just think it 's pointless for jason to go all the way to rome and help brenda when you need him here . michael : it 's okay , mom . that 's fine . carly : you got in a fight . that 's not okay . michael : i knew the kids at madison would give me a hard time about pentonville . i knew that . i should have handled it better . it 's my bad . carly : but jason knows it 's been a hard transition for you to go back to your old life . he should be here helping you . michael : dante was able to help me . he talked to the principal . made sure , you know , i did n't get expelled , so . carly : okay . you should n't have to depend on dante . when you were a baby , jason promised that he would always be there for you , and now , he 's off playing bodyguard to brenda . michael : mom , you do n't have to worry . carly : i 'm your mother . of course i 'm worrying . michael : i meant about jason seeing brenda . mom , you will always come first in jason 's life . you know that . and he proved that by getting himself sent to prison to protect me . he knew you 'd be a wreck . he made it okay , you know ? he wanted to make it okay for the both of us . so he loves you , mom . do n't be mad at him . carly : i 'm not mad at him . i 'm going to strangle brenda . [ scene_break ] brenda : so as far as you know , sonny 's free ? jason : i already told you , the charges have been dropped . brenda : yeah . i 'm talking about he 's not living with anyone or anything is what i mean . jason : no . brenda : he really did n't say anything ? jason : no . i 'm here because i know you 're in danger . brenda : well , that 's sweet . but how do you know i 'm in danger if sonny did n't tell you . jason : suzanne told me -- brenda : oh , my god . this woman . suzanne 's telling you ? why is she talking to everybody about it ? and what 'd she call you for ? jason : you listed me as your emergency contact . brenda : that 's only if i die , and i do n't want to upset anyone . you 're the only one who does n't care . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know that woman i was telling you about ? our love was -- i tell you , it was just ... strong . scared the hell out of me when i figured out i was completely falling for her . dante : yeah , i know that feeling . sonny : but it was never easy , you know , because the deeper we fell in love , the harder we fought . and i had to accept ... that it was n't going to work . but do n't get me wrong . it 's not like i 've been pining away for her . i 've been in love with other women . i 've started a family , i 've had a great life . i know i can live without her . dante : yeah , but she 's always right there in the back of your mind . you know , as scared as you were falling for her , you 're just as afraid of losing all those memories . sonny : but that 's all they are . i know that now . it 's time to move on . and for me , it 's always been easier to lose myself in someone else . god knows i 've had plenty of practice . [ scene_break ] siobhan : you could pass for a true yank with that accent . where 'd you come up with it ? lucky , in irish accent : i had some practice . siobhan : you did a job in america , did you ? i 've heard the stories . ronan o'reilly is feared in 3 continents . lucky : four , but who 's counting ? i 'm not ronan o'reilly . you said so yourself . siobhan : i 've hated that face for more years than i care to remember . seen it in my nightmares long before you murdered my donnie . lucky : so what are you waiting for , then ? shoot me and be on your way . siobhan : i 'd prefer you tell me what happened . lucky : what , to your boyfriend ? siobhan : to you . how 'd you happen to pick up a soul ? lucky , in irish accent : what does it matter how i changed ? just be glad i did , or you 'd be buried next to your boyfriend by now . siobhan : you wo n't hurt me . lucky : you sure we 're talking about the same ronan o'reilly ? siobhan : you 're not the same . something inside is different . what i do n't understand is why . lucky : i found god . siobhan : are you serious ? lucky : was n't like i was looking for him , you know ? i 'd just killed someone on the job , and the police got there before i had time to clean up . so i broke into the nearest building to lay low . it happened to be a church . siobhan : scripture spoke to you . is that it ? lucky : i 'm ashamed to say i have n't cracked the good book since sister mary mangus made me memorize the commandments in grade school . siobhan : mm . so you had religion before ? lucky : oh , before i became a killer , you mean ? yeah . i had religion . but i suppose i never really believed in god or what he could offer . so there i was , you know , sitting there staring at the blood on my hands . it just hit me . i realized ... if there was a god -- you know , if there was such a thing as ... forgiveness and ... and grace , then this just could n't be -- this just could n't be the plan that he had for my life . [ scene_break ] maxie : look , there is no excuse for what patrick did , but i can understand how it happened . you have the most amazing person in your life , and you still manage to do something incredibly stupid . i do n't think that it 's a reflection on how patrick feels about you . i 'm hoping you do n't completely write him off . robin : maxie , patrick cheated on me , okay ? and now , we have to deal with this entire fallout . and the scary thing is , lisa 's not just targeting me anymore . maxie : okay , yes . i know lisa is , like , one stop away from hitting crazytown . but do you think she would really do something to hurt emma ? robin : i do n't see why i should stick around to find out , okay ? it 's clear that emma and i are in lisa 's way of getting patrick . so who knows what she 'll do to get what she wants ? maxie : okay . what about what you want ? do you want to work things out with him ? robin : maxie , i know you 're trying to help , but the only thing that matters to me right now is keeping my daughter safe and making sure that lisa will never get near her ever again . [ scene_break ] lisa : i knew the old patrick was still in there . patrick : i guess i just needed a reminder . lisa : i ca n't wait for this weekend . we are going to have so much fun . patrick : absolutely . counting on it . lisa : all right . well , i 'm going to go check on a patient . and you work on clearing that schedule . steve : did you really have to kiss her ? patrick : what the hell am i supposed to do ? steve : aside from how much it will hurt robin when she finds out -- and she will find out , not from me , but gossip travels at the speed of light around here -- that was completely unprofessional . patrick : she wants to go on a weekend trip . steve : [ sighs ] all right . i can rearrange the schedule and get you reassigned to a surgery that will keep you in town , okay ? i hope you know what the hell you 're doing , because from what i can see , things can only get worse . [ scene_break ] dante : well , look , like i said , whatever happens between you and claire , that 's your business . but you know , she does have a lot on the line . maybe you do n't want to string her along if you know it 's not going anywhere . sonny : i 've given up making promises i ca n't keep a long time ago . dante : all right . i 'm going to go check on michael . sonny : anything else happens to michael , let me know . dante : yeah . sonny : and dante ? thanks , again , for what you 're doing for michael . dante : yeah . just as long as you know it does n't change anything . i 'm still a cop . you 're still a crime boss . you slip up , i 'll take you down . sonny : i would never , ever stop you from doing your job . but it 's just nice for one night that it did n't get in the way of you being my son . claire : am i interrupting ? dante : uh , no . i was just leaving . but i guess this is the end of you lecturing me about my conflict of interest , right ? have a good night . [ door shuts ] sonny : i did n't think you 'd come tonight . claire : neither did i .

[ scene_break ] claire : homemade pasta . sonny : my specialty . claire : well , for someone who did n't think i 'd be back , you certainly went through a lot of trouble . sonny : well , i 'm an optimist . you put good thoughts out there , and good things are bound to happen . claire : it 's a matter of opinion . jax just gave me a chapter and verse about why this would be a very bad thing . sonny : this ? claire : you and i exploring the social scenario . sonny : well , when you put it that way , it do n't sound very good , does it ? claire : how should i put it ? sonny : why do n't we just have dinner and see where it goes ? claire : jax warned me it would n't be going anywhere . [ sonny chuckles ] claire : that i 'd just be another in a long line of conquests , and that your only real interest was neutralizing my ability to prosecute you . sonny : jax has been trying to get at me for years . he 's just pissed because you 're not doing his bidding anymore , and he 's going to try to figure out another way to get at me . claire : that 's what i said to jax . but i 'm beginning to think that maybe he 's right . sonny : i do n't want to hurt you . and if you 're worried that i 'm going to , i wo n't stop you from leaving . [ scene_break ] lucky , in irish accent : so there i was , alone , in a dark church with nothing to do but think about the choices i 'd made and people i 'd hurt . siobhan : like my donnie . was he afraid ? lucky : you know , when death is staring you in the face , the reaction 's always the same . first , people beg , and then , they start praying for forgiveness , asking god to save their souls . so that night , in the church , i gave it a try . you know , i figured if millions of people believe in an afterlife and some kind of redemption , then , you know , maybe it could be real , even for someone like me . siobhan : i 'm just sorry that your salvation came too late to save my donnie . siobhan : ronan ? be careful . now that you 've developed a conscience , it could get you killed .

[ scene_break ] patrick : maxie , i 'm working right now . maxie : oh ? well , that must be nice . i 'm sure robin would love to be working . but until this whole thing with lisa is settled , robin 's suspended . patrick : okay . maxie : that does n't seem fair , does it ? you cheat , robin loses her job . patrick : this is only temporary , okay ? as soon as i can prove that lisa 's doing all these crazy things , then robin will be reinstated . maxie : uh , i hope so . i 'm trying really hard to be sympathetic here , and i know i 'm not the person who should be giving lectures on being faithful , but this plan you have better work , because it 's not helping robin forget what you did . patrick : i know . but i 'm trying to make things right . maxie : just do n't get too wrapped up in playing with lisa that you wind up in bed with her again . patrick : maxie , that 's not going to happen . maxie : i hope not . robin ca n't take much more . patrick : look , i 'm going to pretend to fall for lisa long enough to prove that she 's acting like a lunatic . the chief will have enough evidence to get rid of her from the hospital , and i can concentrate on getting my wife back . lisa : if you are waiting for an appointment , that is what the lounge is for . we like to keep this area clear for staff and patients . maxie : well , if it is n't the tramp who 's trying to ruin my cousin 's life . lisa : ohh . maxie : do n't talk to me , ever . lisa : well , robin does n't need any help with that , actually . she 's doing just fine all on her own . and i hate to break it to you , but your cousin 's seriously disturbed . maxie : if that is true , it 's all your fault . you snaked her husband and are trying to destroy her marriage . you 're a disgusting piece of trash . patrick : is there a problem here ? lisa : [ sighs ] not on my end . maxie : hem . patrick : hey , you ca n't provoke her . maxie : i 'm just doing my part to keep up the front . it just so happens my role coincides with how i actually feel . patrick : do n't underestimate lisa . she 's not dumb . she 's smarter than the rest of us so far , and we have to be very careful if we 're going to prove that she 's the one acting crazy and that robin 's her victim .

derek : uh ... no , he gave julian jerome up to sonny 's goons -- a man who died two decades ago . ava : except for the fact that he 's standing right in front of me . derek : yes , well , i 've got a new identity , not to mention a new face , to go along with my new life -- derek wells , respectable businessman -- so when we go after sonny ... he wo n't know what hit him . sonny : julian jerome died in a shootout years ago . shawn : are you sure ? sonny : the jeromes controlled most of port charles in the ' 80s along with the mckays . they are long gone . shawn : look , man . i do n't know what to say , man . that 's the name vince gave me . sonny : did it ever occur to you he could be lying ? shawn : the man was scared . he was ready to crack , okay ? look . max and i , we threatened him with the deep fryer -- the whole nine . sonny : okay . shawn : the guy was caving in as soon as the oil started bubbling , man ! i was sure he was telling me the truth ! sonny : did you let him go ? shawn : yeah . sonny : so that 's how you do your job , shawn ? ! by just letting him go when he 's lying to you ! olivia : s - sonny , what 's going on here ? derek : although it really is a shame about vince . i mean , he 's the last person i thought would ever turn on me . no matter . corinthos is still in the dark . there 's no way for my new identity to come to light . i mean , even if he does believe vince 's stories , there 's no record linking derek wells to julian jerome . so when we hijack his shipment , corinthos wo n't know where to look . ava : no one could ever accuse you of a lack of confidence . derek : except there 's one remaining hiccup . i have to make sure that sonny 's nowhere near the action . ava : well , then , you can thank me , brother dear . the night the deal goes down , sonny will be more than occupied at my party . derek : you 're having a party ? ava : yeah ! i 'm throwing it with sonny , actually , to celebrate the union between his son and my daughter . and so , while sonny is toasting the happy couple , you 'll be making off with his shipment . derek : [ sighs , chuckles ] what ... exactly ... did you do ? ava : i went to see sonny . we had a lovely chat . he really is a very interesting man . and something tells me that if he were firing on all cylinders , he would be quite a challenge . so we are fortunate that he 's nearly crippled by grief at the moment . by the way ... you 're welcome . derek : y - yeah , that 's all wonderful , except ... i specifically told you to stay away from sonny . what the hell is wrong with you ? shawn : you know , i 'm - a -- i 'm - a get out of here . sonny : yeah , you do that , shawn ! olivia : [ sighs ] okay . what is that all about ? sonny , why are you so mad at shawn ? sonny : he was supposed to find out about somebody who 's muscling into my territory , and he -- he came up with a name . olivia : and that 's a bad thing ? sonny : yeah , it 's a bad thing when the name turns up to be a dead man . olivia : who ? sonny : julian jerome , which is impossible . olivia : well ... maybe not . sonny : what do you know about it ? olivia : uh , nothing ! i do n't know anything except for ... two people named jerome just moved into this town . and your son 's married to one of them . morgan : what about your dad ? not -- not franco . the real one , silas . kiki : what ? why would silas clay give me a place to stay ? morgan : because he 's a doctor , right ? so that means he probably has pretty nice digs . and , i mean , he is your father , so he 's , like , legally required to help you . kiki : no -- the last time i saw silas , i was a little busy telling franco that he was n't my father . i told him that i would talk to him later , and he 's still waiting . so ... morgan : still , it does n't hurt to ask . kiki : morgan ! i do n't know him ! morgan : okay . i 'm sorry . i do n't know what i 'm thinking . uh , we 'll find another place , all right ? i 'll make sure of it . kiki : okay . morgan : okay ? kiki : that is why i married you . morgan : [ chuckles ] mm . but , i mean , why -- why -- why do n't you try to talk to silas ? i mean , he is your father . do n't you want to get to know him at all ? kiki : to tell you the truth , i do n't . silas : you know , i should 've done this before . i 'm sorry about those things that i said . not only were they completely untrue ... i was in no position to judge . sam : i - i really do n't know what you 're talking about , because you and rafe have made really good progress . i 'm not saying you 're uncle of the year or anything , but your relationship is in a lot better place than when you first met him . silas : the thing is , i did n't know anything about kids ! i mean , what was i supposed to do -- you tell me . sam : i - i - i tried to tell you before ! i mean , it would 've been great if you got to try to know him first before you just showed up unannounced , trying to take custody of him . i mean , get to know him on -- on his terms in some way . silas : all right . great . thank you for that . sam : not that you need my advice anymore , because rafe -- i think he really likes you . i mean , he 's seen what you 've done for danny , and -- [ sighs ] this has nothing to do with rafe ... does it ? this is about kiki . silas : like i said , sam , i got to get going . i 'll call you about that dinner sometime . good night , sam . sam : good night , silas . franco : wait , wait ! carly , you ca n't go in there . felix : why not ? what do n't you want us to find , or who ? oh , you got someone kidnapped in there ! you got them chained to the radiator ! carly : i do n't have radiators . felix : well , she 's chained to something ! she 's bound and gagged and desperately trying to get our attention ! carly : do n't you think you 're going a little overboard ? felix : let me remind you we 're talking about franco -- the man who considers death an art form . you know what ? enough stalling ! open the door ! franco : wait , wait , wait ! i , uh -- there -- there -- [ clears throat ] yeah , there -- there 's , uh -- there 's a - a woman in there . carly : there is ? franco : yeah . felix : and do you have her held against her will ? franco : no , she really , really wants to be there . felix : [ scoffs , laughs ] you 're kidding . he got a hooker in there . carly : no , it 's not a hooker , 'cause he does n't have any money . wow , you did n't waste any time . how long was i gone -- an hour ? felix : [ chuckles ] man works fast . carly : yeah . looks like you worked up an appetite . you went and got a snack , huh ? franco : carly , this is not what it looks like . carly : i do n't care what it looks like ! i do n't give a damn ! i mean , it 's none of my business who you sleep with ! it 's not like you 're gon na have me , at all ! you can stay here in my hotel . i just need a credit card -- one that works . franco : you do n't understand . felix : oh , she understands perfectly . come on , carly . carly : goodbye , franco . felix : i hate to tell you i told you so -- carly : but you 're going to ! felix : yeah , i told you so . sonny : there 's no link ... between ava and kiki as far as the jerome crime family . olivia : w - what do you actually know about ava jerome , other than the fact that she was lying to kiki about who her father was ? sonny : maybe she had good reason . olivia : now you 're defending this woman . you do n't even know her ? sonny : oh , i know her . she was here earlier . she wanted to pay her respects . olivia : oh . so ava jerome showed up here with what -- a plate of cookies and some baked ziti to offer her condolences to you ? sonny : she did n't bring any food . she just -- she ... brought an idea . yeah . olivia : about what ? sonny : she wants to throw a party for morgan and kiki . derek : not only did you go see sonny , you are now planning parties with him . ava : inspired , do n't you think ? derek : not the word i 'd use . and just so we 're clear ... staying away from somebody does n't translate to co - hosting social functions with them . ava : as long as we 're making things clear ... you 're not my boss . derek : this is business , ava . i do n't want you complicating the plan , if you have n't derailed it entirely . ava : if you would stop lecturing me and just let me -- derek : what if you tipped him off ? what if this little party of yours makes him suspicious ? what if he starts asking questions , and -- i do n't know -- puts two and two together ? ava : and comes up with absolutely nothing ? you just got through telling me there is nothing that connects derek wells with julian jerome ! derek : yeah , except my sister , who 's now planning parties with the guy that we 're trying to take down . ava : just give me a little credit , will you ? i 've been dealing with these people for months . derek : yeah , and gotten exactly nowhere . ava : are you serious ? i 'm the reason that morgan met kiki in the first place . me . not you , julian . so i would think twice before you forbid me to do anything ! i 'm the one who made sure they got married ! derek : [ exhales ] kiki : i 'm not exactly eager to start a relationship with silas clay . my whole life , i lived without a father . my mom told me that he was dead , and then one day , poof ! guess what , kiki ? he 's actually alive , and he is a murderer named franco . morgan : yeah , that 's a lot to process . kiki : yeah ! it completely freaked me out . then franco started to grow on me . i do n't know if it was because i was flattered because he cared so much , or maybe i bought into his plan that if he were good , he 'd be able to prove himself to me . i -- [ sighs ] all i know is that i started to see franco for something other than a freak . i saw him as a person . and just when i started to care , i find out that he 's not my father . morgan : kiki , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , okay ? i know this whole situation 's really screwed up . kiki : yeah ... except for one thing . you . [ chuckles ] you really help me keep my sanity through all of this , and without you , i would 've fallen apart . [ sighs ] anyway ... [ sighs ] so the answer is no . i do not want to bond with silas clay . morgan : look , i 'm not -- i 'm not defending the guy . i 'm just saying nothing that happened with franco was his fault . kiki : he still had the bad taste of getting with my mom to begin with , so that does n't really give him any points . morgan : i know you 're mad at your mom , but whatever -- kiki : mad ? mad ? no . mad does n't even begin to describe it . you know how much that hurt me ? someone that i love , someone that i trusted so much , lied to my face about something so important . [ sighs ] you 're right . it 's not silas clay 's fault for the things that my mom did , but that does n't mean that i want to have a relationship with him ! and it 's fine , because i have n't seen him in weeks , so i 'm just gon na keep on doing what i 'm doing , and ... the more space we keep between us , the better . right ? [ knock on door ] kiki : were you expecting someone ? morgan : well , maybe the q 's decided to kick us out early . kiki : well ... i 'll make them go away . sam : [ chuckles ] well , i guess silas has started to deal with the reality that he 's kiki 's father . alexis : well , i - i - i can say for sure that it 's not easy to all of a sudden find out you have an adult child . [ clicks tongue ] but i have to give him credit . he 's a good multi - tasker . he did find time through all of this to ask you out on a date ! sam : yes , he did . and i - i 've got to admit , silas and i -- we did get off to a bad start . and after a while , he -- he started to grow on me . and i do n't know . i - i guess , um , i 've started to see his -- his charm . alexis : you do n't say . sam : but ... we still have our differences . uh , uh , we do . i mean , i do n't know . maybe -- maybe i 've , uh -- i 've put up my defenses or something . something 's changed . i do n't know . maybe it 's that jason 's been gone for over a year now , and i 'm lonely , or -- i do n't know . maybe i 've gone completely insane , and i need to be institutionalized . alexis : [ chuckles ] heather : [ gasps ] finally ! hand over that gorgeous creature . oh , yeah . come to mama . ick ! franco : problem ? heather : i 'll say ! this sandwich was pre - owned ! someone took a bite out of it ! you brought me a used blt ! franco : no , i did n't , heather . i would n't do anything like that to you . heather : well , somebody took a bite out of it . it did n't bite itself ! franco : i did that . heather : you . franco : oh , yeah ! just could n't help myself . heather : well ... i can understand . it is irresistible . well , i do adore you , but ... germs are germs . [ grunts ] yeah ! mmm , mmm ! this is like heaven on earth ! that 's what i 'm talking about . mm - hmm . franco : you know , as much as i 'm enjoying your reunion with your little sandwich , and as much as i would like to give the two of you some privacy , this is my suite , and i 'm afraid i 'm gon na have to ask you to leave . heath : what is your problem ? franco : what is my problem ? you are my problem . you just ruined my life . carly : why would you bring me here , of all places ? i mean , if you wanted to gloat , we could 've just stayed at the restaurant at the metro court . felix : i wanted to put as much distance between you and that sleaze as possible . i mean , if that display does n't convince you that he 's a slime with -- carly : shh ! felix : no , you need to listen to what i 'm -- carly : stop talking ! look ! ava : [ speaking indistinctly ] carly : i wonder what the hell that 's all about . derek : [ speaking indistinctly ] alexis : you are not crazy , and you do not need to be institutionalized . well ... sam : [ chuckles ] alexis : i 'm saying that you 're young , okay ? and -- and you have your whole life ahead of you . and i do n't want to see you spend it alone . sam : let 's not get carried away . silas and i , we agreed to have some -- some dinner at , like , some vague future time ! that 's it ! alexis : well , whatever it is , i 'm glad that you 're putting yourself out there , because you deserve a personal life after everything you 've been through . sam : hmm . so you 're okay with me going out with silas ? alexis : if it makes you happy to go out with silas , i 'm perfectly fine with it . sam : [ groans ] `` but . `` i knew there 'd be a catch ! go ahead ! give it to me . what ? alexis : i just want you to know that i am watching out for you . and silas has n't proven himself totally to me . morgan : it 's pretty late , is n't it , dude ? i mean , kiki and i were just about to hit the sh -- [ clears throat ] [ stammering ] we were gon na go to bed . silas : do n't call me `` dude . `` listen , i apologize for the late hour , and ... i do n't blame you if you do n't want to ... see me . i know your mom did a number on you , telling you that franco was your father , and then ... the two of you had a relationship -- i saw that . and all of a sudden , the news comes out that i 'm your father , and ... that hit me pretty hard . i can only imagine that 's strange as hell for you . kiki : strange does n't even begin to describe it . silas : i can only imagine . anyway , i came by because i thought you 'd like to know that , um ... danny 's gon na be okay . he 's gon na recover . kiki : he 's -- he 's going to be okay ? he 's -- silas : yeah ! you know , he 's , uh -- he 's a tough little guy , you know ? he hung in there , and the transplant 's taking . kiki : oh , my g -- that 's amazing news ! and -- and ... you were the doctor that helped him get through all of that , right ? silas : i just did my job . on a good day , that means somebody gets to live , and ... today was a very good day . kiki : well , thank you for telling me that . silas : i 'm glad i got to see you . i wanted you to know that when danny got sick ... i could n't focus on anything else . that 's just kind of the way i am . now at he 's better , i can -- [ sighs ] i can think about other parts of my life , and ... i just wanted to reach out and say hello . that 's all . olivia : ava wants to throw a party . sonny : for morgan and kiki . olivia : i do n't care who it 's for ! sonny : but it 's for -- olivia : we 're burying connie tomorrow ! and she comes over here , and she wants to throw a party ? are you kidding me ? sonny : i had the same reaction , you know ? and then i -- i started thinking , you know , she said it 's for morgan , and then , you know , we can think of something positive . i - i think she was right when she started saying that ! olivia : how about ... it 's completely poorly timed , and completely insensitive ! you want to think about something positive , huh ? think about your baby granddaughter . little connie . honey , i just -- i just went to see her . she 's so ... beautiful and feisty ... just like her namesake . sonny : she 's beaut -- i mean ... a - ava was saying the same thing , you know ? it 's like ... how life is , and ... things like that . olivia : right . so , it sounds like you and ava really , um , hit it off , huh ? sonny : it turns out we got a lot in common , or at least a few things . olivia : like what ? ava : you should be thanking me for my genius , instead of trashing my idea to throw a party with sonny . everyone will be completely occupied while you make your move ! derek : you are completely missing the point . you knew how i felt about you making contact with sonny . and you completely ignored what i said . ava : get over it . i 'm not one of your soldiers . we are equal partners in crime . are n't we ? felix : okay , i recognize derek wells , but who 's the woman ? carly : ava jerome . my son 's married to her daughter . felix : is there a reason you 're not saying hello ? carly : yeah -- i ca n't stand her . felix : why not ? carly : because the first time i laid eyes on her , she was kissing franco . heather : excuse me ? how have i ruined your life ? i have n't even left the room ! franco : yeah , i know . that 's kind of the problem . heather : i do n't follow you . franco : [ sighs ] carly heard you in here , and now she thinks i 'm sleeping with you -- well , not you you , but someone , i guess , like you . and since my only other option was to tell her that i was harboring an escaped mental patient , i allowed her to think that that was the truth . heather : fyi , i 'm not escaped . the folks over at the miscavige institute do n't even know i 'm gone ! franco : [ sighs ] great ! thank you ! that makes me feel so much better ! heather : well , it certainly should ! i mean , it saves them the trouble of a statewide manhunt ! franco : whatever . it would 've been a disaster if carly had found you in here , but now she just thinks i 'm a sleaze ! [ sighs ] heather : [ scoffs ] who cares what carly thinks ? franco : i care . heather : why ? franco : because i care about her . heather : you do ? franco : yeah , i do . heather : since when ? franco : since ... i do n't know . i do n't know ! a while . and -- i was starting to hope that eventually ... she would be able to return those feelings . but now that 's just never gon na happen . heather : as far as i 'm concerned ... you dodged yourself a bullet there , baby -- literally . carly : [ quietly ] ava and franco were up to something when first met her , and i have n't trusted her since . look at her . you can tell she 's plotting something . felix : [ quietly ] mm . last time i saw mr. wells , he was in a hospital gown . but now he looks like he stepped off the cover of a gq . and ava 's no slouch , either ! carly : would you stop talking ? ! derek : you should consider your words more carefully , sister , because we 're not gon na be partners in anything unless you start running your ideas past me . ava : what difference does it make now ? we could n't have planned this any better if we tried . derek : and how 's that ? ava : as i was saying ... sonny is out of his mind with grief over the dear departed ... not to mention ... he 's bipolar . derek : what ? ava : mm - hmm ! and he 's on some pretty heavy - duty medication ! but i put it in his mind that maybe he ought to skip it . derek : a bipolar mob boss off his meds . [ chuckles ] well , that 's either a complete disaster or , um ... exactly the opening we need . ava : admit it . i took care of keeping sonny busy the night of the shipment . now , if you 'll excuse me ... i have a party to plan . derek : mm . [ both sigh ] felix : that was too close , girl . [ metal slams ] derek : who 's there ? olivia : so ... are you telling me that you and ava jerome are simpatico ? in what ways ? ava : i did n't mean to compare my loss to yours . sonny : seems like you 've said a lot of things that you do n't mean . ava : well , i have , have n't i ? that 's very unlike me . what i meant when i said i know how you feel ... is that i know what it 's like to go to that very dark place . sonny : ava 's , uh -- ava is , uh -- she 's crazy about morgan . she 's just thrilled that he -- he married her daughter . olivia : really ? sonny : she -- she wants our kids to start married life on the right foot . she wants us to put our grief over connie aside for one night ! we can celebrate , right ... in support of kiki and morgan . i do n't see anything wrong with that ! silas : this is where you can reach me -- either number . and no pressure . i know i 'm a stranger . but i would like to get to know you . and if you ever feel like giving me the chance ... just give me a call , you know ? we could , you know , maybe go get some coffee or ... go to a ball game ? no , maybe not a ball game , but we could -- you know what ? we could do whatever you want to do , okay ? ava : silas . kiki : mom . silas : ava . ava : what -- what are you doing here ? silas : oh , i 'm just talking to my daughter -- you know , the one that you kept from me for so long . kiki : i think the better question is what are you doing here ? ava : i -- well ... sweetheart , i came to see you ! i , uh -- i want to make things up to you if i can . kiki : well , that 's too bad ! ava : will you just hear me out ? kiki : [ sighs ] ava : i was talking to morgan 's father , and we agreed that the two of you should have a - a party ! sort of a -- a wedding reception . since you were married at the courthouse , we could n't celebrate with you . and that 's what we 'd like to offer you -- a chance for your families to show you love and support , and for everyone to get to know each other ! kiki : no , thanks . ava : kiki ... please ! i know that things are difficult between us right now , but ca n't you see that i 'm trying ? ! kiki : i can see that you 're putting on a show , which is what you always do , and i do n't buy it ! ava : what about morgan 's father ? sonny wants the two of you to have a celebration that you deserve ! so what do you say ? morgan ! morgan : kiki , it is just a party . why not say yes ? sam : i am grateful that you are looking out for me , mom . i want you to know that . alexis : it 's not so awful , is it ? sam : no ! i mean , it could be worse . you could be telling me who i can and can not be with . alexis : yeah , that worked out really well , did n't it ? sam : not so well . alexis : i know you 're an adult , and i know you 're perfectly capable of making your own decisions . but i am reserving the right to express my feelings . and if , at any time , i have concerns about silas or anyone else ... you 're gon na hear from me ! sam : okay ! that 's fine ! do n't worry ! i 'm more than aware that silas has his flaws ! i mean ... [ chuckles ] not everyone can be as perfect as ... derek wells . felix : ow ! what was that for ? carly : i saw the texts ! who is jennifer , and why is she sending you pictures of her in her bikini ? felix : uh -- carly : oh , great ! we have an audience here ! is n't that great , felix ? derek : my apologies . i did n't mean to interrupt . carly : mm . derek : are n't you mrs. jacks from the metro court ? carly : yes . do i know you ? derek : yeah . derek wells . i have an office space in your hotel . carly : oh ! of course ! derek : yeah . i 'm , uh -- i 'm sorry . i 've seen you around the hotel , but i 've never introduced myself . carly : oh , you do n't have to apologize ! i mean , i should recognize you . are n't you running the magazine that connie falconeri used to own ? derek : yeah . yeah . it was a -- it was a tragedy , what happened . it 's , um -- it 's a loss . carly : yeah , it was terrible . derek : yeah , i was just thinking about her right now . my , uh -- my art dealer friend was going on and on about these paintings i needed to buy , but , uh , i really was n't in the mood for that . i mean , one of my trusted employees was just , um ... murdered . so i , uh -- i dismissed her for the day . i 'm sure you saw her leave here in a huff . carly : no , we were a little busy . derek : okay . well , uh ... i 'll let you get back to your , uh , conversation . carly : yeah . felix : in case i forget to tell you -- ow . carly : i 'm sorry ! i 'm sorry ! i did n't know what else to do ! felix : no , it was a nice save , but , damn , you got a hard slap ! carly : mm . felix : you think he bought our story ? carly : i do n't care if he did ! he needs to worry if we bought his ! heather : if you ask me ... those brain doctors scooped out your common sense along with that tumor . carly jacks tried to have you killed . she 's dangerous ! franco : if carly did try and have me killed -- and i 'm not saying that she did -- do n't you think i deserved it ? heather : what are you talking about ? franco : i 've done despicable things in my life . i 've done despicable things to carly , to all the people she cares about . i felt like things were shifting in me . carly looked at me like i might be changing . and i started to hope ... that i might have ... a normal life . who knows ? maybe even a normal life with carly . heather : oh , lucky you ! franco : now that 's all over before it even started . never gon na get carly to love me now . heather : well , if it 's any consolation ... i still love you ! morgan : hey , why do n't you give your mom a break , okay ? she 's trying to make things right . ava : i really am . why do n't you just take this for what it is -- a good - faith gesture to celebrate your marriage to morgan . but we ca n't do that without the bride , can we ? so , please . tell me you 'll be there . kiki : can i invite someone ? ava : yes ! of course ! anybody you want ! just tell me who it is , and i 'll make sure they 're on the guest list . wh - who would you like to invite , honey ? kiki : the father of the bride ! um , you do n't have a problem with that , do you , mom , considering you kept us apart for 21 years ? ava : anything you want . it 's your party . kiki : so , what do you say ? will you come ? silas : sure . i 'll be there . alexis : when did i say that derek wells was perfect ? sam : you did n't have to . alexis : i did n't say that he was perfect . sam : but he 's interesting ! alexis : i said he was nice , and he very generously -- sam : i know you said you were n't interested in anyone . i said i was n't , either . look -- i 'm going out on a date with silas ! alexis : you also said that you had lost your mind and that you should be institutionalized . sam : yeah , i did , and maybe i was right . i mean , is n't it always a little crazy to put yourself out there , throw caution to the wind ? but look ! i 'm -- i 'm doing it ! i 'm going out on a date with silas ! maybe you should give derek a chance ! derek : did i hear my name ? felix : do n't tell me you had a problem with mr . hot - o - sexual derek wells . carly : what are you talking about ? felix : do n't knock it ! a man like that could help you erase the picture of franco and his groupie doing paint - by - numbers in the hotel room . you know what i mean ? heather : i do n't suppose you brought seconds . franco : sadly , heather , all the bacon in the world is gone . heather : [ gasps ] do n't even joke about that . franco : you 're right . that 's mean . i 'm sorry . heather : well , i 'd better get going back to the institute before they realize i 'm gone . do n't take this the wrong way , but ... hanging around with a heartsick birthday boy is n't the way i want to get caught . franco : yeah , i do n't blame you . heather : oh , cheer up , frankie . i 'm sure someday soon , you 'll find a woman that 's worthy of you . and she 'll turn that frown into a smile . franco : i do n't know about that . heather : i can tell you one thing . you could sure do a lot better than carly jacks . carly : i 'm finished discussing franco with you . felix : okay ! that sounds like a step in the right direction ! mr . hot - off - the- press sounds like he 'd be more than capable of providing a distraction . carly : and you accuse me of having bad taste in men . there is no way that ava jerome is his art dealer ! derek wells is lying through his teeth ! felix : okay . if it was n't about art , then what was it about ? carly : i do n't know , but i 'm gon na find out ! felix : oh , sounds good to me ! carly : why 's that ? felix : what better way to take your mind off the weasel with an easel than to dig up dirt on derek wells ? alexis : derek ! uh ... we were just talking about you because we were wondering if ... you wanted to come back and visit after you get done with your business . derek : oh . alexis : how 's it going , anyway ? derek : could n't be better ! as a matter of fact , things are going so well ... that i think the thing i 've been working on is gon na go just the way i 'd hoped . olivia : um ... i still think this party 's a bad idea , but i ... do n't feel like fighting you on it right now . sonny : i 'm glad to hear it . olivia : we should probably try to get some rest . we got connie 's funeral first thing in the morning . so , um ... i was thinking that i would go back to my place , if you think you 're gon na be all right . sonny : i 'm fine . olivia : okay . sonny : i appreciate everything that you 've done with this , you know , as far as connie , and -- olivia : right . sonny : 'cause she got killed . olivia : i 'm gon na get going . do n't forget to take your meds . sonny : oh , i wo n't . ava : and i wanted to feel that pain ... because i caused what happened . going to that dark place was ... it 's my penance . i wonder which punishment is worse -- feeling too much of something ... or nothing at all .

patrick : we have the same fortune . sam : now , what do you think this means ? alexis : need a hand ? sam : oh , uh , no . i got -- i got it covered . did i wake you ? alexis : no , not at -- hey . what happened to patrick ? sam : oh . um , he just left . patrick : elizabeth . elizabeth : hey . what are you doing here ? patrick : this is my home . elizabeth : oh , my god . patrick : you fell asleep on the couch . elizabeth : i am so sorry . patrick : it 's okay . is everything all right ? elizabeth : yeah . uh ... emma just -- she was having a hard time . she 's fine , but she kept saying that she wanted to go home , and my grandmother was already at the house , so she 's with the boys , and i thought i 'd bring your little girl back . patrick : so much for the sleepover , huh ? that has n't happened in a while . i 'm sure she just wanted her own bed . elizabeth : actually , she wanted to sleep in yours . i think she misses her mom . [ alarm blaring ] robin : they must have figured out that you escaped . we have to get out of here . ohh . anna : detective west or maxie or both could be in here . nikolas : no , no , no . do n't enter the building . the last thing i need is for you to jeopardize the rescue operation . if anyone comes out without the commissioner , just follow him , all right ? keep me posted . britt : what 's happening ? nikolas : [ sighs ] my security team followed anna to that clinic in scarsdale . britt : mm - hmm . nikolas : she entered the facility about an hour ago , and there 's been no sign of her since . [ alarm blaring ] dante : here . let me , uh -- lulu : no , it 's fine . it 's just a scratch . dante : that 's fine . lulu : stavros tried , but he did n't do anything to me . just -- i feel a little woozy from the sedative they gave me . maxie . maxie : lulu ! lulu : oh , thank god you 're okay . dante : you guys okay ? nathan : yeah . i 'm fine . we do n't have a lot of time . we got to get out of here . dante : what the hell is this going on ? nathan : this whole place is gon na blow up . anna : let 's try this . robin : ready ? all right . let 's go . [ buzzes , beeps ] sam : you 're up late . i thought you were turning in after your epic bath battle with danny . alexis : well , that was the plan . i was tossing and turning . i could n't sleep ... because of julian . sam : oh , mom , i am so sorry . i had no idea that molly or you would be here , or else i would never let julian come and see danny . alexis : you have nothing to apologize for . i mean , as long as it 's okay with you , julian had every right to be here and visit his grandson . he loves him . actually , i should thank you , really . sam : are you serious ? alexis : yeah . because it was so painful to see him , it kicked me in the butt and made me realize that i should follow through with that conversation we had earlier -- you know , the one where we should make ourselves date men who are uncomplicated and available . sam : you were actually serious about that ? alexis : well , we 're uncomplicated and available . sam : mom . alexis : okay , we 're available . in any case , i took the lead , and i asked someone out . sam : who ? alexis : ned . sam : ned ? ned ashton , as in your ex - fiancé ned ? what ? alexis : you know , we had very good times together , except for the times that we did n't , and when we were good , we were very good together . and he of all people -- he was the only relationship that i 've ever had where i was the one that messed up and i did n't have the underworld to blame it on . sam : okay . so , that 's good . you 're gon na go out with ned . alexis : i 'm going on a date . i mean , we keep bumping in to each other , and it 's like no time has passed . sam : okay . excellent . alexis : yeah . sam : i am happy for you . alexis : it 's a date . but you should follow my lead , perhaps , and reconsider your move with patrick . in other words , make a move . sam : well , actually ... patrick made his move on me . patrick : she 's fast asleep . elizabeth : she just needed to feel safe . patrick : i guess i should have saw this coming , eh ? elizabeth : well , this ca n't be the first time she 's been upset about her mom not being here . patrick : no . i thought she was handling it okay . and i only told her on the 4th that her mother and i were going our separate ways , and she seemed to understand , and to be honest , she was kind of more concerned for me . [ sighs ] but then we had an incident at breakfast this morning . elizabeth : oh . that 's what the whole pancake trip to kelly 's was all about ? patrick : yeah . robin has n't been here to walk her to school on her first day of class , and , somehow , she convinced herself that maybe this year she would be here , and , obviously , robin 's not , so i think she 's starting to understand that things are gon na be different , that our marriage is over , and we still do n't know when her mom 's gon na be home . elizabeth : [ inhales deeply ] okay . forgive me if i 'm prying , but is your divorce final ? patrick : no , not yet . i sent robin the papers , but she -- she has n't gotten back to me , for whatever reason . elizabeth : well , then maybe there 's still hope . maybe robin is wanting to fight for your marriage . patrick : i asked robin to come home to me and emma again and again . she made her choice , and it was n't us , so we 're just not her priority . elizabeth : okay , for all you know , she has n't even received the papers . you did have to ship them to africa . patrick : right . i 'm sure that 's what it is . [ buzzes , beeps ] robin : [ sighs ] anna : that 's weird . [ buzzes , beeps ] robin : i do n't know what 's wrong -- the key card 's not working . anna : this card opened every other door in the building . maybe this room has extra security measures . anna : yeah , maybe so , which means that maybe maxie and nathan are in there . we passed some downed clinic guards in the corridor . let 's see if they 've got different cards . dr. obrecht : there you are ! anna : aah ! i told you to stay in victor 's room . why do you do that ? why do you complicate every situation ? dr. obrecht : there is n't time for this . tell me you know where my son is . nathan : one of the staff said that a self - destruct sequence has been activated inside the clinic , but we do n't have any idea how much time we 've got left before this place goes down . dante : where 's the staffer now ? maxie : a wsb agent found us and took him into custody , but the guy insisted there 's no way to stop the countdown once it 's started . lulu : but that 's crazy . nathan : it 's a fail - safe to make sure their technology does n't fall into anybody else 's hands . maxie : so , we need to get out of here , like , now . nathan : where 's the commissioner ? we ca n't just leave her . dante : she went to look for you guys . come on . let 's go . come on . come on . nikolas : i just told my team to stand their ground -- observe only . follow anyone who comes out of the clinic in case they move maxie and lulu someplace else , but no one 's come out since anna went in . britt : and there 's no way to find out what 's happening inside ? nikolas : no . my guys are n't officially part of the investigation , so they 're not kept in the loop . anna made it very clear that they had to stay out of the way . britt : but they know that nathan and lulu are being held there . nikolas : only because that 's what your mother told us , but she 's just extrapolating from her conversation with victor . for all we know , this is a dead end and lulu and the others were never even there , or worse , it 's a trap . britt : i do n't think so . my mother seemed convinced she knew where nathan and lulu were being held . nikolas : [ chuckles ] so , she 's the bastion of honesty these days ? britt : no , but i like to think i know my mother better than anyone else , and , look , she 's not unfeeling . her concern is genuine . she 's really worried about nathan , and so am i . we barely had a chance to get to know each other . he almost lost it the other day at the station , he was so worried about maxie . he 's devastated . nikolas : i know , and you went after him , tried to talk him down . britt : yeah . turns out i was wrong about sibling bonds , at least mine and nathan 's . it did just happen . it just turned on . all of a sudden , he was n't just this guy i had an amicable relationship with . he was my baby brother . and he was really hurting , and i wanted to be there for him . nikolas : i know exactly how you feel . i grew up on an island with my uncle , and all i knew is that my mother had abandoned me . then one day , out of nowhere , he tells me that i need to have this procedure done , just ... that i needed to donate bone marrow to a little sister that i did n't even know existed . so , of course i did . i had the procedure done . and i really believe that my -- that my uncle thought that that would be the end of it . but not for me . no . no . i was determined to see my little sister . wow . i - i still remember that first day i walked into the hospital . and ... she looked up at me with this smile on her face ... even though she had no idea who i was . and when i went home , i remember i told my uncle -- i said , `` have you seen her ? have you seen her ? she has a smile like the sunshine . `` that 's what i said . britt : [ chuckles ] nikolas : and from that point on , i could n't imagine my life without her . it took a little longer for lucky , of course . but i 'm telling you , from the very beginning , lulu -- this beautiful little girl -- she needed me for a reason that had nothing to do with being the prince , the heir , or whatever . my bone marrow saved her life . so , to imagine anything happening to her just dr -- britt : hey , no . no . look ... they 're going to come back to us . nikolas : [ sighs ] britt : [ sighing ] i promise . dr. obrecht : where is my son ? ! anna : i do n't know . i 'm looking for him . but i ca n't -- i tried -- this card is n't working . i do n't know what that means . dr. obrecht : nein . anna : what ? dr. obrecht : the destruct sequence must have sealed all the doors shut . that bastard ! nathan , can you hear me ? ! anna : destruct sequence ? what are you talking about ? dr. obrecht : nathan , can you hear me ? ! anna : hey . hey . what is going on ? dr. obrecht : victor rigged this entire facility to explode . we 're all trapped inside . nathan ! patrick : i 'm sorry . i should n't be doing this . it 's -- it 's not fair to you . robin 's your friend , too . elizabeth : and i love her like a sister , but i love you , too , and nothing would make me happier if you guys could just work things out . patrick : that 's just -- it 's -- i do n't think it 's possible , and i really do n't want you to be stuck in the middle . elizabeth : it 's not a war , patrick , and i know you 're not asking me to choose . you guys are my family , and i want what 's best for both of you , but if the distance is something you ca n't do , then it 's better to make these difficult decisions sooner than later so you can all move on . patrick : i did do that . i did move on . i mean , i allowed myself to fall in love with sabrina , and we were gon na start a family together . granted , at the time , i thought robin -- robin was dead , so the only thing i could do was continue to live , and to think that she 's out there in the world somewhere and we 're not together -- believe me , it feels bizarre and unthinkable . elizabeth : it 's difficult to let go of someone when you spent so much time building up what could have been . patrick : yeah . elizabeth : it pretty much sucks when a relationship does n't live up to the fantasy you 've had . patrick : elizabeth webber said , `` sucks . `` elizabeth : just do n't tell my boys . [ both chuckle ] patrick : your secret 's safe with me . thank you . elizabeth : we 're family . you 're stuck with me . patrick : i would n't have it any other way . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] patrick : and , for what it 's worth , i did try to move on tonight , and i stumbled clumsily through it . elizabeth : what do you mean ? patrick : [ sighs ] i kissed sam . alexis : patrick kissed you ? tell me everything . sam : mom ... alexis : no . he may be the cutest guy in port charles . sam : yeah , he is pretty cute , is n't he ? alexis : okay , so , i thought you two would be good together . sam : do you want to hear this or not ? alexis : go ahead . sam : okay . okay . so , i put danny down for the second time , and i come downstairs , and patrick finds out that emma 's gon na stay at elizabeth 's for a sleepover , so , of course , i do n't want him to go home to an empty house or an empty stomach , so i invited him to stay for dinner . alexis : very sensible . sam : so , we ate , and then we got our fortunes , and then , uh ... he -- he kissed me . alexis : you see ? that `` in bed `` game is just great . sam : no , no , no . it was n't that . alexis : no ? sam : no . alexis : oh . what ? sam : oh , sorry . alexis : let me see . `` now is the time to try something new . `` oh , i like the way noodle buddha thinks . did you kiss him back ? sam : oh , yeah . i mean ... alexis : yeah ? sam : ... yeah , i definitely kissed him back , and things were really heating up . and then i , uh -- then , mom , i had to stop him . alexis : oh , good lord . why would you do that ? sam : because ... i do n't think i 'm ready to move on . [ buzzes , beeps ] [ alarm blaring ] robin : we 're trapped . the alarm must have triggered some kind of override . the key card 's not working . do you have any ideas ? what ? hot - wire it ? dr. obrecht : nathan ! i can not lose you ! anna : liesl ! how can you be sure this place is gon na go up ? dr. obrecht : one of victor 's men discovered he was dead , and before i knew what he was doing , he activated the sequence . anna : what ? ! dr. obrecht : i 'm telling the truth ! dante : commissioner . anna : huh ? dante : hey . anna : yeah . oh , hey . dr. obrecht : nathan , my son . nikolas : thank you . i need to stay positive . i know that . it 's just been a crazy couple of days , you know ? britt : yeah . it 's all a lot to process . nikolas : yeah . britt : your uncle could be nathan 's father , which would make him a cassadine . nikolas : i know . i know . it 's -- i 've never been short of family members coming out of the woodwork . but , thankfully , nathan seems to have a good moral compass , as opposed to my uncle victor , who apparently is the corrupt head of the wsb . britt : do you really think that 's possible ? when i met your uncle , he seemed ... polite . could he really be the person behind all of this ? nikolas : i wish i could dismiss the idea , but i ca n't . i mean , perhaps my good old uncle victor is n't as reformed as he claims . britt : reformed ? nikolas : before i was born , he was mixed up in some pretty bad stuff . spencer : what are you saying about uncle victor ? dr. obrecht : oh , thank god . anna : i 'm so glad you 're both all right . nathan : commissioner , we 've got to evacuate . anna : yeah , i know . i just heard about the destruct sequence . i do n't even -- so , the electronic locks -- they 're fried , and we ca n't open any doors , so , ostensibly , we 're locked in . dr. obrecht : no . the front door does n't use the same security pad as the interior doors . dante : well , can we still get out the front door , then ? anna : i guess we can try . agent : commissioner ! anna : yes ? did you find more key cards ? agent : sorry , commissioner -- nothing . anna : all right . our main priority here is to clear the facility . i want you to coordinate with your squad , do another sweep of the building , and anyone you find , you send them to the main entrance . agent : you got it . anna : okay . let 's go , everyone . nathan : wait . wait . where 's victor ? what happened to victor ? was n't it . nikolas : what are you doing up ? spencer : i could n't sleep . nikolas : why ? worried about your aunt lulu ? spencer : yeah , but that was n't it . nikolas : well , what 's wrong ? spencer : you said uncle victor was coming . is he coming to visit again ? nikolas : uh ... no . i - i do n't think uncle victor 's gon na be coming to visit for a while . spencer : why not ? britt : you know what ? it 's grown - up stuff , spence -- nothing you need to worry about . spencer : you said uncle victor was mixed up in some pretty bad stuff , but he was always really nice to me . britt : well , yeah . of course he was . why would n't he be nice to you ? spencer : what 's going on ? nikolas : [ sighs ] britt : [ chuckles ] nikolas : look , we do n't know yet , okay ? but your uncle victor ... might not be the man we all thought he was . spencer : there 's a lot of that going around . britt : [ chuckles ] nikolas : what 's that supposed to mean ? spencer : emma 's dad did n't tell you ? nikolas : tell me what ? spencer : it 's why i could n't sleep . i 'm scared . britt : scared ? spencer cassadine , you are not scared of anything . spencer : i am of aunt lulu 's father . he 's a bad man , too . nathan : what 's going on ? what happened to victor ? anna : he 's dead . maxie : nathan ... nathan : what ? how -- how did it happen ? anna : he was in his office , and he was in the process -- dr. obrecht : we do n't have time to play catch - up . we need to leave now . anna : she 's right . let 's go . patrick : i 'd be lying if i said the kiss came out of nowhere . i mean , we -- we 've been spending a lot of time together recently . elizabeth : i know she 's been investigating your car accident and trying to figure out who ran you off the road , right ? patrick : right . right . and , um ... i do n't know . she 's kind of showing me the investigation side of things . it 's been fun learning from her , you know -- getting out of my comfort zone a little bit . elizabeth : wait . the poster child for doctors with a god complex can actually be humbled ? patrick : i would n't go that far , no . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] patrick : but she did hustle me at pool and i lost , and she made me shave my beard . elizabeth : oh , remind me to send her a thank - you note . just kidding you . so , tell me -- what happened ? patrick : well , we were just kind of staring at each other for a moment , and -- i do n't know -- it just felt right , and i ... kissed her . you know that feeling ? elizabeth : yeah . so , how did she react ? patrick : she kissed me back first , and then she pulled away . elizabeth : oh . did she misread the situation ? patrick : no . she says that she did n't , and she agrees that there 's something between us , but she 's just not ready to move on . elizabeth : but it sounds like you are . sam : mom , silas and i just broke up . you know , it still hurts . silas was the first person that i let into my heart after jason died . and , in a way , silas showed me that i do n't have to live the rest of my life alone . alexis : and for that , i will be eternally grateful to him . sam : no , but it 's not like we ended things because those feelings were n't there . i loved silas . i mean , i - i - i s -- i love him . but love was n't enough . alexis : believe me , i get that more than most people . but if things ca n't work out with you and silas , i do n't want you to get in the way of your own happiness . i do n't want you to let your feelings keep you from moving on with your life . sam : it 's not just about silas . it 's about jason , too . robin : hey , no pressure [ chuckles ] but i do n't think that these alarms are only about you . i do n't know if you had the pleasure of spending any time with victor , but he is a maniac , and there are some crazy , very illegal experiments going on around here . [ inhales , exhales deeply ] we 've got to get out of here before whatever or whoever set off these alarms catches up with us . [ electricity crackles ] [ buzzes , beeps ] robin : jason , you did it ! you unlocked the door ! no . no , it ca n't be . helena : my dear robin . we meet again . nikolas : you 're saying that luke put rafe up to causing patrick 's accident ? spencer : well , that 's what he told me . britt : why would luke do that ? spencer : he wanted to make sure i kept quiet . nikolas : kept quiet about what ? spencer : he 's plotting against sonny . remember , dad ? i told you this months ago . i heard luke scheming with somebody the night of your engagement party . nikolas : oh , please , please . not this again , spencer . spencer : dad , come on . i heard luke 's whole conversation . nikolas : you really believe this , do n't you ? spencer : yes , and emma 's dad does , too . patrick : i think maybe i want to be ready to move on more than i actually feel ready to move on . you know ... it 's been a pretty crazy year . [ chuckles ] between robin and sabrina ... i do n't know . you know , robin and i -- she 's ... i 'm always gon na love her . she 's always gon na be part of my life . but our marriage is over . elizabeth : and sabrina ? patrick : sabrina and i will always be connected because of gabriel , and i still care about her , but we 're friends now , and i think that 's a good place for us . elizabeth : so , this ... thing with sam is something else ? patrick : i do n't know . i do n't know . i mean , it 's nothing that i expected to happen . sam and i -- you know , we were n't each other 's biggest fans in the beginning . [ clears throat ] it 's the reason robin brought me to port charles in the first place , was to operate on jason , and sam was part of the group of mostly women that demanded that i save his life . and then the last surgery i did on jason , when the lab exploded , we were not on good terms , to say the least . but then we were able to bury the hatchet . danny got sick . we became friends . we built this little relationship , and ... i do n't know . yeah . i mean ... maybe there could be something between us . alexis : honey , i know how much you still love jason , and i know you still miss him . but i thought you made peace with the idea of moving on , and the fact that you took your wedding ring off for silas was a big step and an important one . and i just do n't want to see you take all these steps backwards just because things did n't work out with you and silas . sam : no . gosh , no . no , no , no , mom . that 's not what i meant . tomorrow is jason 's birthday . alexis : sorry . i did n't realize that . sam : yeah , and next week would have been our third wedding anniversary , and i feel like just with all these emotions and feelings , everything just felt so present , and that -- that 's why i stopped things with patrick . and with silas , you know , he did n't have a personal relationship with jason . that 's why -- that 's why it 's different with patrick . he knew jason . patrick saved jason 's life . alexis : as i recall , jason and patrick did n't like each other . sam : yeah , i think that 's an understatement , mom . they were always at odds , with robin in the middle . robin : helena cassadine . helena : well , hello , mr. morgan . robin : jason ! helena : no , no . no , let mr. morgan rest . i 'm sure he 's exhausted . it 's not easy escaping my brother - in - law 's facility . robin : so , i guess i should , uh , congratulate you on your return from the dead . helena : it 's lovely to be back . of course , i should thank you , should n't i -- you and mr. morgan ? i must say that i am a little disappointed . i know he 's been through a terrible ordeal , but , given his reputation , i did expect him to put up more of a fight . robin : stay away from him . helena : oh , i 'm not sure i care for your tone . but there 's no reason we ca n't be civil , now , is there ? no . i am very grateful for what you 've done for me , dr. scorpio - drake . robin : well , if it was up to me , i would have just let you die . it was victor that forced me to develop the protocol for you and stavros . helena : do n't you dare speak his name . now , regrettably , my son has met with an unfortunate demise . but ... he will live on , no thanks to that friend of yours , lulu . i take great comfort in knowing that she and her friends will get what 's coming to them ... very soon . anna : now . clear . maxie : it 's locked ! anna : what ? oh , god . the fail - safe must have sealed the entire building . lulu : well , what do we do now ? dr. obrecht : we 're all going to die here . elizabeth : so , it sounds like you care about sam . if you think you 're ready , why do n't you go for it ? patrick : well , it does n't matter if i am or not . sam -- sam 's not ready , so ... and , to be honest , it 's probably better that way . we need to focus on finding out who told rafe to run us off the road . we need to , you know , finish our investigation . elizabeth : yeah , well , i do n't really know if there 's ever a perfect time , so , at some point , you just kind of have to go for it . [ cell phone rings ] patrick : it 's nikolas . elizabeth : maybe it 's about maxie and lulu . patrick : hey , nikolas . did you , uh , find out anything about your sister and the others ? nikolas : no , nothing definitive . i think anna tracked down their location . my security team is updating me regularly . patrick : all right . well , if anna 's on the trail , then i 'm sure they 'll be home safe and sound at any time . nikolas : yeah , i keep telling myself that . um , listen , before you go here , there 's actually something else that i need to talk to you about . patrick : okay . nikolas : spencer mentioned this story about luke . patrick : yeah , he did . nikolas : he did ? great . look , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry for dragging you into this . i know that you and sabrina have been through enough . but spencer is convinced that luke is this -- this dangerous man , and , normally , i 'd write it off to overactive imagination , but i can usually tell when my son is exaggerating , and this is different . he 's truly terrified . do you think there 's any truth to this ? patrick : i do n't know for sure , but sam and i are on it , and we 're gon na do everything we can to find out the truth . alexis : so , are you saying you put the brakes on with patrick because jason would n't approve ? sam : mom , i wish it were that simple , but , i mean , it was a two - way street . patrick was n't the biggest fan of jason 's , either . i mean , he always resented the connection that robin and jason had . and , truth be told , i was n't too thrilled about it , either . i mean , they had so much history together . i always got the sense that she could ask him to do something and he would just stop whatever he was doing and do it , and it was pretty intimidating .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : making a marriage work under the best of circumstances is difficult enough . sam : maybe lucky is tired of trying to make things work with a woman who does n't give a damn about him . because if she did , she would n't be lying to his face , making him feel guilty for months for sleeping with someone , when she did the same exact thing . nikolas : okay , okay , look , i 'm not making excuses for elizabeth -- both of them have made their share of mistakes -- but having an affair certainly is n't going to help lucky resolve the problems that he already has in his marriage . sam : `` his problems `` ? your brother 's biggest problem is that his wife is in love with jason , and she 's an idiot , because lucky is more of a man than jason will ever be . nikolas : ah -- a point that i 'm sure you ca n't wait to make to jason . sam : oh , jason has made it pretty clear that he does n't give a damn about me or who i sleep with . nikolas : well , i 'm sure that he would be angry at you for hurting elizabeth by sleeping with her husband . come on , sam . making elizabeth suffer would be your last , desperate bid for jason 's attention , come on . sam : are you kidding me ? i slept with lucky because he makes me feel better than i have in a really long time , and i 'm sure if you asked him , he would say the same thing about me . nikolas : sam -- sam , there is no doubt in my mind that you would welcome lucky back with open arms if he wanted to continue -- sam : yeah , you are damn right i would ! [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why was it so important for you to tell me you were with sam ? lucky : you always wanted me to be honest -- that 's all we have . elizabeth : it is . lucky : then you be honest with me -- does it bother you that i was with sam tonight ? elizabeth : i do n't like sam for obvious reasons , but that does n't give me a right to tell you not to see her . i 'm not going to be that big of a hypocrite . lucky : but you do have a problem with us having a friendship ? elizabeth : your friendship is separate from us . i do n't want or need to hear about it . lucky : well , i can think of a few alternatives to quiet acceptance , like anger , denial . elizabeth : i 'm tired of being angry . mainly , i 'm just tired . i do n't want to spend what little energy i have left when i get home from work fighting with you . lucky : is that supposed to be some fair trade -- for me to accept this friendship of yours with jason ? [ scene_break ] emily : elizabeth 's trying so hard to do what 's right for everyone else that she 's completely lost sight of what she wants . jason : elizabeth wants what 's best for her kids . emily : she 's staying with lucky for the sake of the children , jason . she wants cam and jake to grow up in a happy and a loving home . but now that lucky 's been with sam , that 's impossible . so how is staying in a marriage that ca n't be fixed fair to anyone , especially the kids ? jason : she 's going to need all the support she can get . and i would appreciate it if you could be there to help her . emily : she needs you . [ scene_break ] georgie : maybe lulu is n't as into logan as you think . spinelli : she 's cohabitating with the cave dweller as we speak . georgie : okay , but if my only choice was living with an overbearing stepmother or a hot guy , i 'm sorry , i pick the hot guy . spinelli : lulu is n't led into things by simple passion . her heart must be engaged , along with her body and most beautiful spirit . georgie : okay , i get that you think that lulu is amazing , i understand that , but you have really got to quit putting her on this pedestal . no girl could ever , ever live up to what you 're saying , and i really just do n't want to see you disappointed when the real lulu does n't measure up . spinelli : okay , fair lulu has far exceeded all expectations . unfortunately , she obviously finds the jackal lacking , or she would n't have sought comfort in the crabby commando 's arms . georgie : trust me , it 's not going to take lulu long to figure out who the real logan is , and it 's going to be over . spinelli : okay , i -- i appreciate your efforts , but there 's no mitigating my despair . [ scene_break ] maxie : are n't you going to invite me in ? lulu : i 've had enough drama for one night , go away . maxie : oh , you ca n't tell me to leave -- this is logan 's apartment , remember ? lulu : actually , it 's our apartment -- i live here now . maxie : you guys move in together ? logan : that 's right . this place is lulu 's as much as it is mine . she 's made it very clear she does n't want you here , so why do n't you go -- now . maxie : relax , i 'm leaving . but before i go , i think you should clear one thing up for me . if lulu 's living here with you now , where are we going to go to pay off our bet ? logan did tell you about our bet , did n't he ? logan : shut up . maxie : you know , the bet about lulu -- i think she deserves to know . lulu : what is she talking about ? logan : it does n't matter . maxie : i think it 'll matter to lulu . see , logan bet me that he could get you into bed , and , of course , he has , so now i have to pay him back by sleeping with him -- again . [ scene_break ] sam : elizabeth has been pushing lucky away for months and he 's filly had enough . and i think you , of all people , would be able to understand that , because spencer would n't be here if you had n't turned to courtney for comfort when emily shut you out . or what , are you going to tell me that was a mistake ? nikolas : no , no , i 'm not . courtney gave me my son , and i 'm very grateful for that , but emily got hurt because of it . i just do n't want the same thing to happen to elizabeth . sam : are you kidding me ? lucky is the one who 's hurting ! and what 's wrong with me wanting to change that ? nikolas : nothing . nothing . all i 'm trying to say is that an affair wo n't make either one of you happy at this point . and it might dull the pain right now , but in the long run it 'll only make things worse , especially for lucky . sam : you know what ? your brother is a grown man who can speak for himself . nikolas : well , he 's also a father who has an obligation to make his marriage work for his children , and all i 'm asking -- all i 'm asking is you try and have some respect for that . that 's all . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i have n't seen jason , and i do n't plan to . lucky : yeah , why not ? i mean , if we 're having an open marriage , you 're free to see him anytime you want . elizabeth : the fact that leticia was strangled in the middle of carly 's living room proves that no one around jason or sonny will ever be safe . i am not going to put jake or cam at risk just to hang around jason . lucky : you know how insulting that is ? elizabeth : what are you talking about ? lucky : the only reason that you 're staying away from jason is the danger ? our marriage , our life together -- does n't that factor in at all ? i 'm your husband , elizabeth . how is that supposed to make me feel ? [ scene_break ] jason : what are you doing ? spinelli : i was trying to ease the pain of losing the blond one ? jason : with vodka ? spinelli : although it 's not the jackal 's blended beverage of choice , vodka and nectar of the gods is quite refreshing . and potent . jason : spinelli , you ca n't -- you ca n't drink away your pain . it does n't work like that . spinelli : i tried -- i tried seeking solace in cyberspace . but even -- even in a world where the jackal is in complete -- complete control , there 's no hiding from the pain of losing fair lulu . jason : you know what ? if -- okay , that 's enough , all right ? you keep drinking like this , you 're going to get sick , i 'm telling you right now . spinelli : i 'm in desperate need of your stone cold guidance and wisdom . how does one -- how does one soothe your not - so - secret pain when all methods have failed ? jason : sometimes you ca n't . you just have to accept your loss and live with it . spinelli : ooh ! [ scene_break ] lulu : you 're pathetic , not to mention delusional . logan would never sleep with anyone as skanky as you . maxie : it 's called experience , lulu , and from what i 've seen , you do n't have much . logan : get out . maxie : but lulu has n't even heard the best part yet . see , logan agreed to let me watch from the closet . he wanted me to have a front - row seat when he won the bet . lulu : you 're a lying bitch . maxie : `` oh , you did n't drag me here , logan , i came back very willingly . `` and you call me pathetic ? you had to practically beg him to have sex with you . lulu : how could you ? logan : listen , i did n't know , okay ? the landlord let maxie in . why do you think i was in such a hurry to get you out of here ? as soon as i saw her shoe sticking out of the closet -- lulu : why did n't you yank the door open and let her have it ? maxie : oh , he let me have it , all right -- on the couch . logan : enough ! listen -- listen -- no , listen . none of it happened the way maxie 's making it sound . lulu : but it did happen -- you slept with her ? oh -- logan : lulu -- lulu : no , do n't bother ! logan : oh . [ scene_break ] sonny : if you think i 'm going to let you bully kate the way you did my mother , you 're mistaken . trevor : oh , no , no , no , no , no . you were the one who bullied your own mother down a flight of stairs , but luckily adela survived you . but sonny 's grown stronger , older , kate , and i 'm not sure that you 're going to be as fortunate . sonny : i was too young to protect my mother , but i -- i can tell you right now , i 'm going to make damn sure you never hurt kate . trevor : with one call , i 'm going to take everything away from her that she 's worked all these years for . but , kate , you 'll still have sonny to compensate . kate : you know , trevor , you may have opened a few doors for me . but i made a name all on my own , and i intend to fight you with everything i have to keep it . trevor : well , that might be difficult from a jail cell . [ phone rings ] trevor : lansing . what ? johnny zacchara 's coming here ? [ scene_break ] logan : why could you not just keep your mouth shut ? maxie : i just thought lulu deserved to know what kind of jerk she was shacked up with . logan : you just wanted to see the look on the girl 's face when you told her we had sex . maxie : no , i was just being honest . logan : you twisted everything , maxie , to make it look like i never cared about her ! maxie : logan , the bet was your idea , so if you 're not happy with how it turned out , you should blame yourself . you made the terms , i just paid up . logan : you threw the bet in lulu 's face because you were jealous . maxie : no , i thought i 'd just tell the truth for once . logan : lulu was a thousand times better than you 'll ever be . lulu 's right , you know ? you really are pathetic . you 've lost coop , and now you 're just trying to make everyone else as miserable as you are . maxie : well , then i guess it 's working , logan , because lulu 's definitely never going to take you back . logan : you better pray for your sake that i can get this girl back and make it right . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . nikolas : hey . [ emily sighs ] emily : bad night ? nikolas : yeah . it could 've been better . how was yours ? emily : about the same . nikolas : oh , well , you could probably use this , too . emily : yeah . thank you . you want to talk about it ? nikolas : as long as we can agree that what we 're about to discuss is none of our business , but we both need someone to confide in . emily : mm - hmm . works for me . did you talk to lucky ? nikolas : ah . no , i did n't . but i did speak with sam -- who made it a point to tell me that she and lucky had sex tonight . emily : oh . nikolas : oh , yes . i do n't know what i was thinking going over there . i mean , who am i to tell lucky what he can and ca n't do with his life ? emily : you 're his brother . nikolas : still , i do n't think i have any right to meddle in his life . emily : oh , you think you meddled ? i meddled big - time . nikolas : what happened ? emily : i told jason that he should be with elizabeth . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , although i 've been most graciously welcomed into the inner circle and have learned at the master 's feet , i -- i fear i may never grasp the stone cold way . i mean , you 've imparted much wisdom and technique , and yet still i have -- i have no prowess with motorcycles or handguns . and try as i might to man up and shrug off lulu 's rejection , i still -- i ca n't even -- i ca n't even withstand the pain of a broken heart . what 's the secret ? jason : there is no secret . spinelli : well -- well , then how do you -- how do you maintain equilibrium when losing ones you love ? jason : i just remind myself that elizabeth and the kids are safer away from me . and it helps to know that i 'm doing what 's best for them . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know how much it hurts you that i lied about being with jason . that is why i 'm trying to be honest with you now . lucky : you just admitted that you 're only with me because it 's a safe choice ? elizabeth : that 's not what i said at all . lucky : no , because it 's what you meant ! if jason did n't work for sonny , you would be with him right now . elizabeth : but jason does work for sonny , that 's a fact . just like our marriage is a fact , and what we do about it -- stay together or not -- is up to us . lucky : yeah , would you care if we broke up ? elizabeth : huh . you know , when we got married , i could 've never imagined us breaking up , or hurting each other the way we have . and it kills me to see how far we 've drifted apart . i wish that nothing has changed . but more than anything , i wish that the love i felt for you was as clear and as strong as the day when we got married . but it is n't the same . it does n't mean we ca n't get it back . i 'm here , lucky , willing to try . unless you tell me it 's too late .

[ kate sighs ] kate : you have no idea what trevor could do to me . sonny : let me take care of trevor . i mean , you know , until robin says you 're okay and you can be released . [ scene_break ] trevor : find him -- and get him home . do n't you -- i know that johnny does whatever he wants to . but somebody better find a way to control him , or this whole thing is going to turn into a disaster -- do you hear me ? [ scene_break ] kate : i appreciate that you want to help , sonny , more than you know but you have absolutely no influence in my world . sonny : okay , the big problem you have is not the magazine . it 's your drunk driving . kate : all i had to drink was iced tea -- sonny : okay . kate : and if someone spiked it -- as jerry claims -- it should be easy for the police to prove . all they have to do is go to my terrace , collect the glass , test for residue . sonny : are you sure you left your glass -- kate : i 'm positive . why ? sonny : i 'll tell you why , because -- listen , max went to your house . he saw a pitcher ; he did n't see the glass , which tells me that trevor went back to your house to cover his tracks . kate : god , i just do n't want to believe that trevor is capable of drugging me . sonny : well , you know -- kate : sonny , we were together for years , and i thought what we had was something special -- he called it a relationship of equals , and i was naive enough to believe he actually meant it . nothing in life is handed to you . it all comes at a price . sonny : we 're going to have to figure out another way to prove to the police that you were drugged , and i got to tell you , it 's not going to be easy . kate : well , nothing in life worth having ever is . [ scene_break ] nikolas : maybe the lesson here is you can love your friends , you can love your family , but you just ca n't control their lives . sam and lucky , jason and elizabeth -- they 're going to make their own choices , so there 's no point in trying to stop the inevitable , right ? emily : easier said than done . nikolas : hmm . emily : hmm . nikolas : yeah . you know , when i think about everything that elizabeth and lucky have been through -- all the affairs and lies -- it kind of reminds me of all the pain we caused each other . emily : somehow we managed to find our way back . nikolas : yeah . and maybe they will , too . emily : you know , even if they do n't , i hope that elizabeth and lucky are able to find other people who make them as happy as you 've made me . [ nikolas chuckles ] emily : why do n't we go upstairs and try to forget that tonight ever happened , huh ? nikolas : hmm . i 'll be up in a minute . i just -- i need to make a few calls before it gets too late , okay ? emily : okay . nikolas : okay . good night , see you in a bit . emily : okay . [ scene_break ] sam : come on , lucky , let 's be honest . i have been throwing myself at you for weeks , pretty much using every opportunity that presented itself to get close to you . i 'm , you know , trying to turn you on , and here we are . go ahead , you can be furious with me . lucky : no , i know exactly what you were doing . i do n't have any regrets for what happened tonight , and i 'd feel terrible if you did .

[ jason sighs ] jason : what the -- what -- what are you doing ? i do n't even know what that -- i 'm not talking about fighting right now . spinelli : that 's because you doubt the jackal 's ability , but do n't be fooled by my zen - like appearance . these limbs are lethal . agh -- jason : stop . now , listen to me . even if you could kick the crap out of logan -- listen , look , lulu may never see you as more than a friend . can you stand by her regardless ? spinelli : yeah , as long as the smile returns to fair lulu 's face , i will happily remain a trusted and loyal friend . [ knock on door ] logan : is lulu here ? jason : why ? logan : something happened , she got pretty upset and ran off . i thought she might 've , you know , come over here . spinelli : what have you done to fair lulu ? jason : no , no , no , no , no . [ scene_break ] kate : trevor 's always been a powerful man . i 've known that since the day i met him , and i used that to my advantage . but i honestly had no idea that he was capable of being so cold and ruthless . maybe i did n't want to see it . sonny : probably not . working for anthony zacchara has given trevor the kind of power that maybe he 's not used to , you know ? but i tell you what -- i 'm not going to let him hurt you . kate : but trevor is used to getting what he wants -- sonny : and -- kate : and so am i . sonny : right . you have always lived your life on your own terms . kate : i 'm not going to let him take it away , sonny . sonny : no . kate : no , i 'm going to fight him . i have no idea how . sonny : whatever you decide , i 'll be right there with you .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i went over to logan 's house and lulu answered the door . it turns out she moved in . sam : huh ? maxie : but that made lulu feel like she had the right to kick me to the curb , which made me mad , of course , so i decided to blow her happy little world apart . sam : oh , no , you told her about the bet , did n't you ? maxie : of course i did -- and then i pointed out all the places in her new home where logan and i had sex . sam : ouch . maxie : lulu was obviously devastated , which made me feel really , really good -- for a minute . now i feel worse than i did before . sam : yeah , you know , this is -- um -- this is the thing about revenge . it always seems like a good idea in the beginning and you think you 're going to get what you want , but in the end -- oh , you wind up being more miserable than you were in the first place . maxie : i know , and i know hurting lulu is not going to make coop forgive me -- if anything , he 's just going to hate me more . whatever -- at least logan and coop have something in common now . sam : okay , well , if misery loves company , you came to the right place . maxie : what did you do ? sam : i seduced lucky . maxie : well , you 're not the first . sam : yeah , i know . i just -- i wanted to get back at elizabeth for sleeping with jason . maxie : and now you feel guilty . sam : no , i feel like lucky is going to be the one to get hurt , and that 's the last thing that i wanted .

[ scene_break ] nadine : it 's not that difficult to do chores on crutches . i mean , it takes a little longer , but they get done . and i was lucky that all i got out of it was a broken leg . nikolas : from falling off of a hay truck ? nadine : yeah , well , it was pretty late into the night , and my brother warned me to stop stacking so quickly , but i would n't listen . i just wanted to finish . anyway , that broken leg was a lot worse than a little smoke inhalation . nikolas : so what you 're saying is , you 're immune to pain . nadine : i 'm not in pain , except when i cough . and i definitely do n't need to be pampered . nikolas : i disagree with you . nadine : why 'd you stay with me at the hospital ? and why 'd you bring me back here ? i mean , i thought maybe we were on to something before the fire , but it seems like something 's changed . nikolas : yeah . um , i do n't know , when i -- when i pulled you out of -- out of the building and i thought i was too late , and you were n't breathing , i -- look , i do n't know , i -- i guess -- i do n't quite know what 's going on , but i know that something 's going on , something good . nadine : i do n't know what to say , for once .

she does . i 'm glad you found a name that 's meaningful to the both of you . lulu : especially today . anna : yeah . lulu : thank you for watching her so we can attend connie 's service . anna : no , i 'm happy to . it 's nice to spend a little time with a baby again . maybe talk to you , also , on maxie 's behalf . maxie : i said no freesias . connie hated freesias . if i even get a whiff of a freesia when i get there , i will void our contract , blackball your shop , and worse . trust me -- i will think of something . the people who cross me live to regret it . carly : hey , spinelli , you got something for me ? spinelli : uh , yeah , yeah . uh ... everything i have on ava jerome , but be warned -- it 's not much . i have yet to unearth any skeletons nor suss out a history between her and silas clay . carly : yeah , i do n't care about silas clay . there 's someone else i need you to look into -- derek wells . ava : we have to stop meeting like this . derek : yeah , no kidding . we 're not careful , people will get ideas -- people like carly jacks . ava : why single her out ? derek : she was at the pier last night , same time we were . ava : what was she doing there ? derek : fighting with her boyfriend , as far as i could tell . ava : did you talk to her ? derek : i did . ava : well ? did she see us together ? derek : i do n't know . but to be safe , i gave her the same cover you gave your ex -- i 'm your client buying art . ava : works for me . derek : do n't be so cavalier . we ca n't afford anyone connecting us yet , especially anyone close to sonny corinthos . morgan : rise and shine , mrs. c . kiki : [ chuckles ] what time is it ? morgan : [ smooching ] i 'll give you a hint . kiki : what are you -- come on . we got to get ready for connie 's service . morgan : what ? come on . i 'll be quick . kiki : are n't you always ? morgan : oh , yeah ? oh , you 're gon na pay for that one . sonny : [ breathes deeply ] hey , michael . michael : hey , do n't you -- should n't you be getting ready ? sonny : for what ? michael : connie 's service starts in less than an hour . sonny : ai n't going to no damn service . dante : so , how 's sonny ? olivia : oh , god . if you were to ask me a couple of days ago , i would 've said he was a mess . now he 's throwing parties , so i guess maybe he 's on the ups . dante : parties ? olivia : you did n't hear ? dante : no . olivia : sonny and his new b.f.f . , ava jerome , are throwing a belated wedding celebration for morgan and kiki . dante : wow . that 's , uh ... olivia : yeah . exactly . dante : i met ava jerome briefly at the quartermaines . olivia : well , what did you think of her ? dante : i do n't know . i 'm trying to reserve judgment , but i did n't know that she and sonny were tight . olivia : sonny never laid eyes on the woman till she showed up at his house the other day . i 've talked to a grieving man about throwing some shindig with her . dante : wow , ma . olivia : what ? dante : well , ava 's really won you over , has n't she ? olivia : i do n't even know the woman . i 've never met her , and i already do n't like her . right down to the last name . ava : it may be difficult to adhere to your policy of not being seen together , since we 're both going to the memorial . derek : yeah . why are you going , again ? ava : well , connie was sonny 's girlfriend . sonny is morgan 's father . morgan is my son - in - law . therefore , sonny and i are in - laws . family . derek : [ breathes deeply ] yeah , very extended family . ava : as opposed to you -- connie 's boss . derek : at least i spoke to her on more than one occasion . we 'll just arrive and sit separately . ava : do you think that 's wise ? now that we 've established a business relationship , not sitting together might raise more eyebrows than sitting together . derek : well , i 'm not taking any unnecessary chances , especially on sonny 's turf . ava : sonny wo n't even know we 're there , not if he 's skipping his meds , per my suggestion . derek : bipolar . you 're sure about that ? ava : can you think of any other reason to take lithium , or to not take lithium , in sonny 's case ? michael : so you 're not going to the service . sonny : it 's just words . people are gon na say how great connie was , how , you know , she 's gon na be missed , how she should n't have died . i do n't need anybody telling me that . michael : okay , i know -- sonny : and the priest assuring us that she 's in a better place . she 's at peace . at peace ? really ? she was murdered . i do n't want to be let off the hook . michael : dad , it was n't your fault . sonny : okay , say that 's true , which it is n't -- what am i supposed to do ? just forget that she was ever here ? michael : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . sonny : there 's nothing that 's gon na be said in that church that 's gon na make a difference ! she 's gone ! i 'm here ! michael : dad , do n't take this the wrong way . um ... sonny : say it ! michael : are you taking your meds ? sonny : do not talk about my meds ! kiki : [ breathes deeply ] morgan : [ chuckles ] see ? i told you it would n't take long . kiki : yeah , record time . morgan : hey . kiki : [ laughs ] morgan : hey , we have to save our strength for tomorrow , okay ? you and me . it 's gon na be epic . kiki : i do n't know . let 's just try to get through today , okay ? we have connie 's service , and then we have to try to find someplace to live . morgan : okay . well , do n't worry , 'cause i got that under control . kiki : oh , really ? morgan : yeah . kiki : how come that does n't make me feel any better ? morgan : because you do n't think i 'm good for anything else , but guess who won the dominator to our cause . kiki : alice is going to keep us in housing how ? [ knock on door ] kiki : oh . speak of the devil . morgan : hey . alice : hey . morgan : hey , tell kiki how you got the quartermaines wrapped around your finger and how you 're not gon na let us get booted out of here . alice : i 'm really sorry , kids , but , um ... free ride 's over . anna : so , i visited maxie in hospital , and we talked -- godmother to goddaughter kind of thing , you know ? lulu : must have been a heavy conversation . anna : well , not as heavy as some of the conversations you 've had regarding the baby . lulu : i 'm not sure what maxie 's told you . anna : the truth . she said she feels really ashamed that , despite her best efforts , she 's attached to your daughter . and she 's having a very hard time letting go . lulu : and i get it . i do . maxie was in the nicu , ready to nurse connie . she totally crossed a line . anna : yeah , she knows . to say that she feels terrible would be an understatement . but she says she 's committed to getting right back on track . and i hope that you can accept that and not shut maxie out of little connie 's life . ellie : is everything okay ? maxie : just some last - minute wrangling for connie 's service . olivia and i basically arranged the whole thing . ellie : wow . that -- that sounds really taxing , and right after coming home from the hospital , and ... maxie : somebody had to do it , and i know all the guests ticks . enzo cartullo is basically allergic to flip - flops . feddie and maha chang are n't -- ellie : maxie , how long will this go on ? maxie : i clocked it at a solid 45 minutes . ellie : no , not the service . this -- you , us . maxie : oh . there 's an `` us `` ? ellie : [ sighs ] ca n't keep ignoring this . i know that you know that i told damian the truth about the baby . carly : okay , derek claims an art deal , but how many art deals are made on the dot , late at night ? spinelli : and a location with a dark and deserved reputation for all things deadly . unless ... carly : unless what ? spinelli : well , perhaps ava is a fence for stolen art . carly : no way . she is up to something , and i want to know what it is . spinelli : okay . well , no disrespect to your formidable intuition , but perhaps you 're overreacting . carly : my formidable intuition tells me that i want you to dig up dirt on ava . [ elevator bell dings ] ava : speak of the devil . i think now would be the perfect time to not be seen together . derek : yeah , well , i 'll be heading to the church after my interview with duke lavery . ava : i 'm sorry ? derek : oh , yes . i forgot to tell you . duke applied for a job , and i may just hire him . ava : are you sure that 's a good idea ? derek : well , you know what they say -- keep your friends close ... ava : and your toys closer ? you know you just want to torment the man . poor duke . he has no idea the job he 's angling for is not with derek wells but with his former boss and tormentor , julian jerome . derek : [ clears throat ] maxie : i 'm surprised you 're choosing to talk about the baby right now . i mean , i 'm not dying on an operating table , which is your situation of choice for unburdening yourself . ellie : okay , in all fairness , i was completely unaware of your medical crisis . maxie : oh , you would have kept your mouth shut if you knew ? ellie : okay , look , i regret the circumstances . but you 're right -- i do n't regret my actions . the lies and the subterfuge had gone on way too long . i had to tell damian he was the father of that child . maxie : how 'd that work out for you guys ? ellie : you said i would lose damian if i told him the truth . you were right . i did . lulu : believe me , i want maxie in connie 's life . she 's my best friend . i want my daughter to know the woman that brought her into this world . anna : good . good . i 'm very glad to hear that . lulu : it 's not that simple . let 's say , a couple months from now , maxie starts coming over a little too often or she stays just a little too long . what am i supposed to do ? i do not want to confuse my daughter . anna : yeah , all right . so your concerns are very justified . i can see that . but i do n't think it 's gon na be like that . i really feel that maxie just needs some time to heal and come to terms with everything . no small thing carrying a baby for nine months ... only to surrender it . lulu : did you ? anna : yeah , with robin . i had to leave her right after she was born . and those first few weeks were unbearable . lulu : but it got better . anna : and it will for maxie . lulu : i hope so . there is a huge difference between those two situations . you knew that eventually you would get robin back because she 's your daughter . connie is n't maxie 's . dante : look , ma , i 've looked into ava jerome as much as i 'm legally allowed to , considering she 's not a suspect in any crime . olivia : and ? dante : she 's not connected to the jerome crime family . olivia : not that you 've found so far . dante : you know something i do n't ? 'cause as far as i know , all the jeromes are dead and buried . olivia : it 's just something that shawn said . according to sonny , shawn was checking out those guys that were running the gambling ring that morgan got involved in . dante : and ? olivia : apparently , they were getting their beaks wet in town . dante : wet their beaks ? olivia : did you know what i meant ? dante : yeah . olivia : thank you . dante : sorry . continue . olivia : so , shawn went and had a `` talk `` with these guys . dante : and ? olivia : and they claim that their boss is julian jerome . dante : so this guy 's claiming his boss is a dead guy . olivia : sonny thought he was lying , too . dante : but you do n't ? olivia : well , i 'm just saying stranger things have happened . duke : i was n't aware that you two were acquainted . ava : derek is a client . duke : ah . you 're exploring the art world , are you ? ava : if you 'll excuse me , i see someone i 'd like to say hello to . duke : oh , you have a good day , ms . jerome . ava : you , too , mr. lavery . derek . derek : mm . shall we get started ? carly : this is good , but i need more stuff . spinelli : oh . ava : oh , please do n't stop conniving on my account . spinelli : i take offense to that . i have never once connived . ava : oh , really , millhouse ? you are still investigating me , are you not ? tell me -- what has google turned up ? [ both chuckle ] carly : you know , this may come as a shocker , but not everything 's about you . ava : well , in the interest of familial harmony , i 'll let it go . speaking of family , would you like to participate in planning morgan and kiki 's party ? carly : what party ? no one told me about a party . ava : i 'm telling you now . it 's to celebrate their marriage . they never had a proper wedding reception . i thought the metro court might do . carly : `` might do . `` [ chuckles ] ava : what do you think ? carly : where to begin ? uh , it 's a terrible idea . ava : why ? carly : have you thought for one second about the father of the groom ? sonny has just buried his girlfriend . ava : oh , no , no . sonny is okay with it . in fact , he 's my co - host . carly : sonny 's helping you plan this party ? ava : mm - hmm . we 're of like minds , particularly when it comes to supporting our children . you should try it sometime . oh . do let me know if you plan to attend . you 're welcome to bring a plus - one . sonny : i did n't mean to go off . i just -- people have been hovering lately . do n't worry about my medication . michael : okay . sorry , dad . i did n't -- i did n't mean to upset you . sonny : it 's not you . i 've got a lot on my mind . michael : right . aj 's a big part of that . sonny : can we not talk about aj ? michael : i just want to let you know there 's is n't gon na be any more garbage about you being involved in connie 's murder , okay ? i told aj to muzzle diane . sonny : he listened ? michael : i think so . sonny : must not have been easy on you . michael : i 'm fine . i 'm more worried about you right now . you lost the woman you love . sonny : so did you . alice : chin up , mr. morgan . i mean , i 'm sure you and ms . kiki are gon na find a place way better than this . morgan : yeah , right . better than lake frontage , no neighbors , and a kick - ass maid ? alice : i will always be available to kick your ass . in fact , uh ... [ knuckles crack ] alice : ... want to go a round of arm - wrestling for old time 's sake ? morgan : yeah , you 're on . alice : all right . morgan : aah ! whoo ! who 's your daddy ? ! i am ! mnh ! alice : [ sighs ] congratulations , mr. morgan . you 're getting stronger every day . morgan : thanks to you . alice : but i hope you know this means i want a rematch . morgan : oh . good thing i 'm not going far . alice : yeah . maxie : it 's over ? you and spinelli broke up ? ellie : not officially . we 're in a , uh ... détente , of sorts , taking a pause to re - examine our situation . i 'm not too optimistic . maxie : well , i 'm sorry your relationship was collateral damage . but this is about me and spinelli -- our baby -- and we decided that she 's going to stay with dante and lulu . they 're her parents now . ellie : but , maxie -- maxie : no `` buts , `` okay ? spinelli and i will never claim our little girl . ellie : you know , never is a really long time . are you sure that 's an agreement you can honor ? carly : i 'm the mother of the groom , the owner of the `` it 'll do `` venue , yet ava goes behind my back to ambush sonny . well , this woman is a piece of work . she has an agenda , probably more than one . we have got to figure out what it is . you know what , spinelli ? we got to step it up . you are gon na have to dig deep . i need to get something ... spinelli . hello ? are you even listening to me ? spinelli : hmm ? carly : what is going on ? you have been out to lunch since you got here . spinelli : uh , n - nothing . nothing . carly : uh , do you know that baby ? [ elevator bell dings ] spinelli : no . no , i do n't . dante : you all set ? hey . lulu : hi . [ chuckles ] i have to go put my jewelry on . dante : okay . hi , little one . hi . do you want daddy ? thanks for looking after our little girl . anna : oh , i 'm happy to . she 's gorgeous . dante : yeah . anna : how 's olivia ? dante : yeah , you know , she 's okay . doing pretty good , considering everything that 's happened . anna : and you ? [ baby whines ] dante : oh , it 's okay . it 's a tough day . i know . i 'm a little distracted , too . remember that gambling ring my brother morgan was involved with ? anna : yeah . dante : it seems like they 've set up camp here in port charles . anna : [ sighs ] excellent . dante : yeah . anna : did n't they have a run - in with your mother and connie , too ? dante : mm - hmm . it looks like shawn got one of them to talk , and , uh ... guess who he claims he 's been taking orders from . anna : who ? dante : julian jerome . derek : well , your most recent work at elq is impressive . and it says here you ran your own businesses back in the day . duke : mm . that is correct . derek : huh . duke : is there something i can help you with ? derek : well , it 's just that , from the early ' 90s until just this past year , there seems to be , uh ... quite a gap in your employment history . duke : yes . i was overseas . i was in turkey , to be precise . derek : oh , what were you doing there ? duke : meditating . exploring my inner self . derek : oh , i see . well , you must have enjoyed the country very much to stay put for so long . duke : it was fascinating . in fact , i almost found it impossible to leave . derek : well , i suppose i have just one more question for you . why should i hire a man who once took orders from julian jerome ? sonny : i know you had deep feelings for kiki . michael : well , that 's over and done with , so , uh ... who told you about that ? sonny : your mom . michael : right . sonny : do n't be upset . she was just worried about you and morgan . she does n't want morgan to marry somebody that does n't love him . michael : well , kiki does ... she does love morgan . okay , no matter what i feel ... felt ... i 'm not gon na get between them . family 's first , right ? you -- you taught us that . sonny : you and morgan okay ? michael : yeah , no , i apologized for the things that i said , and we ... we made peace . sonny : what things ? michael : i accused him of rushing the wedding because i thought he already knew that kiki and i were n't related before the rest of us . turns out i was wrong . i just wanted to believe it . sonny : kiki is n't a quartermaine ? morgan : do n't you get it ? sonny : no , i do n't get it . morgan : well , kiki and michael , they 're not related ! michael : i should 've never doubted him . sonny : michael . michael : what ? sonny : there 's something you should know . olivia : i ca n't believe i have to say goodbye to you , cuz . what am i gon na do without you ? [ sniffles ] who am i gon na confide in ? and more importantly , who am i gon na talk smack with ? [ chuckles ] this ava woman -- i mean ... i know it 's wrong for me to hold a grudge against someone i have n't even met , but i know for a fact you would n't like her . i just ... i do n't know what it is . is it just that i do n't like she 's getting friendly with sonny or ... do i need to be seriously concerned about this woman ? come on , cuz , you got to give me a sign . [ wood creaks ] ellie : can you really just give up your daughter ? maxie : i already have . what ? people do it all the time , give up their child for adoption . ellie : they do n't have to live in the same town as them . they do n't have to watch them board the school bus , take their puppy for a walk . they 're not best friends with their child 's mother . maxie : i will get used to it . ellie : how ? maxie : dante and lulu are that little girl 's family now . they will love her and take care of her . they 'll be happy . that 's all that matters . ellie : no , that 's not all that matters , maxie . what about your happiness ? maxie : after the situation i created , i do n't deserve to be happy . ellie : i really hate seeing you torn up like this . maxie : well , it wo n't be forever . i 'm even seeing a therapist . ellie : i think that 's a wise decision . but giving up your daughter when you clearly do n't want to ? that 's not something that 's just gon na go away . maxie : i have to . do n't you understand that ? that 's all there is to it . ellie : and i sincerely hope you succeed . maxie : thank you . ellie : but if you ever change your mind -- maxie : ellie , i wo n't . carly : are you sure you 're okay ? spinelli : i apologize for my less - than - stellar focus . um ... my mind 's just on ... connie 's memorial service , for which i should be getting dressed for . carly : of course . you go do what you need to do . but please do n't put this on the back burner too long . i have a feeling that whatever you uncover about ava is gon na be just as important to sonny as it is to me . michael : what do i need to know ? sonny : it 's about morgan . but before i tell you , you -- [ door opens ] morgan : my whole body was , like , shaking . kiki : yeah , it was . but then i got this zen focus , and -- boom ! -- i put her down . kiki : what -- sonny : what are you two doing here ? kiki : oh . well , we thought that we would all go to the service together . michael : actually , my dad 's not really feeling up to it . morgan : w - what ? what do you mean ? you got to say goodbye to connie . sonny : you can -- you can say goodbye for me , all right ? morgan : dad . sonny : let me handle this my way . hey . i love you both . morgan : dude , he looks like death . we ca n't leave him alone . michael : no , i know , i know . um ... i 'm gon na stay with him , okay ? you guys go . just make sure you tell olivia why we did n't show up . ava : i do n't think we 've met . ava jerome . olivia : olivia falconeri . ava : oh , you 're connie 's cousin . i 'm very sorry for your loss . she was a remarkable woman . olivia : you knew her ? ava : we met once . but she left , uh ... quite an impression on me . olivia : mm . ava : not to mention her many , many loved ones . sonny , for instance . olivia : i hear that you and sonny have become quite good friends . ava : we 're getting to know each other , as in - laws will do . olivia : mm - hmm . ava : i just wanted to come today to pay my respects . olivia : are you sure you have time ? i mean , with the big party in the works and everything . ava : it occurred to me that , during such a trying time , people might like something positive to look forward to . olivia : how thoughtful . [ sniffles ] ava : i ca n't bear the image . such a beautiful woman , gunned down in her own office . it 's ... it 's a tragedy . olivia : at least the person who did it is behind bars . ava : it is a small comfort . now if only the authorities could find whoever it was that shot you . dante : keep in mind , this is all secondhand information from shawn , via my mother . anna : this man said that his boss is julian jerome ? dante : yeah . anna : that 's not even possible . julian is dead , along with his entire family . dante : right . so , this claim , it 's got to be a lie , right ? duke : i see my reputation precedes me . derek : then , uh ... then you do n't deny your past . duke : i do n't lead with it , but , no , i certainly do n't deny it . no , i admit that , when i was younger , i led a life of crime . but that 's behind me now , i can assure you of that . in fact , you can check with our commissioner of police . she will give you a glowing recommendation . derek : it 's good to know . duke : no , i assure you -- that part of my life died with julian jerome . derek : yeah . speaking of which , um ... what was that like ? i mean , working with him . duke : julian ? derek : mm . duke : he was incompetent . well , what he lacked in talent , he made up with a brilliant self - confidence . derek : [ chuckling ] well , he sounds like a fool . duke : he was a dangerous fool , like all of the jeromes . that 's why the world is better off without them , believe me . derek : i like you , duke lavery . you 're a man of special abilities , and , uh ... strong opinions -- two excellent qualities to have in an employee . [ breathes deeply ] welcome ... to my team . lulu : okay . what do we need to tell you ? she just woke up from a nap , so she probably wo n't go to sleep before we get back , unless she gets tired , which you can totally put her down . dante : right . lulu : there 's also a bottle in the fridge . maybe 25 minutes , see if she 'll take 3 ounces . dante : yeah , and just throw it in the microwave one minute . lulu : no , no , you 're gon na use the bottle warmer , but i also need you to test it on your wrist first , one the inside -- anna : i 'm good . guys , i got this . really , it 's not the first baby i 've been around . i 'm fine . lulu : of course . dante : okay . come on . thank you . lulu : you know , it 's just that she 's only been home for a couple of days , and now we 're leaving her . anna : for a couple of hours , you 're going , and you 're gon na be fine . here . do n't forget your purse . and the little one , she 's gon na be perfect . she 's gon na be right here waiting for you , all in one piece . no one 's coming to steal her . dante : thanks , anna . anna : bye . ellie : damian . this is unexpected . if you 're looking for maxie , she 's -- spinelli : i just -- i came to get my suit . ellie : oh , of course , yeah . i forgot you left it here . can i offer you something to drink ? spinelli : uh , no . i 'm actually in kind of a hurry . ellie : right , the memorial service . can i just tell you one thing ? uh , maxie was just here . spinelli : yeah , i saw her as she left . ellie : did you talk to her ? spinelli : i could n't stomach it . ellie : well , she and i had a long talk . uh , i think we started to clear the air . maxie 's having a really difficult time . spinelli : is she ? ellie : i just think giving up her daughter is more heart - wrenching -- spinelli : i do n't want to talk about this right now . ellie : i 'm not trying to defend her . i 'm not even asking you to forgive her . trust me -- i 'm way too focused on whether or not you 're ever gon na forgive me . i know it 's of her own making , but it 's pain nonetheless . so if you could possibly find it in your heart ... do n't be too hard on her . anna : i feel like a teenager letting in my boyfriend . i 'm supposed to be babysitting . duke : boyfriend ? anna : i hope the parents do n't find out . duke : surely they wo n't ask you back . anna : they might dock my pay . duke : we do n't have to worry about that . anna : what ? duke : i just got myself a swanky new job . say hello to derek wells 's chief of staff . derek : did you ever find out who jennifer was ? carly : i 'm sorry ? derek : the fight you had with your boyfriend last night ? carly : oh , yeah .

[ footsteps approaching ] morgan : [ clears throat ] kiki : what are you doing here ? ava : i 'm paying my respects . olivia : is sonny with you ? morgan : no , he 's , uh , not coming . sonny : are n't you supposed to be at the funeral ? michael : you wanted to tell me something about morgan ? sonny : yeah , i 'll tell you later . do n't worry about that . you better get to the funeral . otherwise , you 're gon na be late . michael : no , i -- i do n't want you to be alone today . look , dad , we do n't have to hang out or anything , but i 'm not leaving . sonny : all right , all right . suit yourself . michael : [ breathes deeply ] look , i remember when abby died . and the only family she had was her mom , and she lived in a different state . and she did n't want to pay for the funeral . as soon as i said i 'd cover the charges , she hung up . never heard from that woman again . abby was alone except for me . how is that even possible , a woman this incredible , did n't have anyone there to say , `` i loved this girl `` ? you know , `` she was mine , `` that `` my life was smaller without her `` ? sonny : she had you . michael : yeah , well , she deserved a lot better . she deserved a room packed full of people to honor her memory . and , look -- everyone grieves in their own way , dad , and i 'll respect whatever you choose , but remember this -- this is gon na be the last decision you 're gon na make ... for you and connie . just make sure it 's one you can live with . maxie : hey . lulu : hey . the church looks beautiful . maxie : when i got here , there was almost a catastrophe . i thought i saw some freesias . lulu : no . maxie : yeah , but it turns out they were just some amaryllis . lulu : good . maxie : exactly . lulu : connie hated freesias . dante : oh . well , then , uh ... crisis averted , right ? lulu : connie could always count on maxie to get things right . maxie : after a little blundering . dante : hey . thanks for coming . spinelli : hi . i 'm sorry for your loss . connie was a unique and effervescent soul . she will be missed . dante : actually , we , uh ... we found a way to keep her memory alive . lulu : for many years to come . spinelli : how 's that ? lulu : we named our daughter after her . duke : so , he did n't go into any details , but from what i understand about derek wells is , the job is right up my alley , and i ... are you even listening to me ? anna : hmm ? oh , yeah . i 'm re it 's a very good position . i 'm sorry . my mind is just elsewhere . duke : is something wrong ? because if somebody needs changed , you 're up . anna : no , it 's not the baby . [ breathes deeply ] it 's julian jerome . duke : well , i think i 've just been insulted . here we are , alone -- almost alone -- and your thoughts are on a dead man . anna : maybe he 's not as dead as we think he is . i mean , that 's impossible . carly : all right , ava jerome , let 's see what you 're up to . [ soft organ music plays ] morgan : i still ca n't believe my dad did n't come . kiki : he 's hurting . morgan : yeah , that 's what i 'm afraid of . kiki : hey , do n't worry about him . your brother 's with him . right ? it 'll be okay . michael : [ clears throat ] hey , uh , can you guys move down ? morgan : mikey , you were supposed to stay with dad . michael : i did .

[ chuckles ] you are safe and healthy , and there 's nothing for either one of us to worry about ... for now . now is the calm before the storm . [ knock on door ] ava : yes , fritz ? ! fritz : you 've got company , ms . jerome . ava : well , who is it ? kiki : you and franco have another run - in at the hospital ? silas : nah . we mostly avoid each other . kiki : so , what 's going on ? silas : i 'm curious . what is it you like about him ? you know , people are always defending him . i just want to know why . kiki : well , what if you could n't do what you do anymore -- be this amazingly talented surgeon that helps people ? who would you be ? silas : we 're not talking about me . kiki : no , i know , but what i 'm saying is your work is who you are , and then , all of a sudden , you just ca n't do it anymore . silas : i 'm pretty sure if they had n't removed that tumor , he 'd be dead . kiki : but he did kind of die , in a way . i mean , he lost everything . he lost who he was . silas : who he was was a serial killer . if it was n't for that tumor and a shoddy legal system , he 'd be in prison right now . kiki : okay , but he lost his genius , and what did he do ? he went and he worked for the hospital to help people . silas : so , you like him ? kiki : i do , yeah ! i like him . he 's open . he 's easy to talk to . silas : apparently . nina talks to him , and carly jacks moved him in to her house . kiki : yeah , i would just -- i would take it easy with franco . he has problems of his own . franco : thank you . that 's really sweet . you know , we 're not really sure that this is my birthday . carly : it 's jason 's birthday . franco : at the risk of ruining a nice moment and mentioning my mother , she did point out that jason and i are not twins . we 're not even brothers . the chances of us having the same birthday are pretty improbable . carly : hmm . you 're still a virgo . and you 're still you . franco : yeah . well ... carly : i think that 's worth celebrating , and jason never wanted anything to do with his birthday , so i say you take the day . here . blow out the candle before the wax melts your muffin . come on . well , that was interesting . what did you wish for ? franco : i wished that i 'd never accused you of sleeping with sonny . sonny : i want to know everything that happened . shawn : well , jordan was with ava , and when ava started feeling some pain , then jordan insisted on taking her to the hospital . ava got the all - clear , and jordan got her all settled back in to the penthouse . sonny : i -- shawn : now , apparently , ava was pretty shaken up , but it 's nothing too serious . sonny : i do n't give a damn about ava , you know , but the baby is part of my family , whether it 's morgan 's or mine . morgan : kiki 's meeting her dad someplace -- the metro court , i think . they 're , like , getting breakfast . you can probably catch her there . michael : oh , no . i have to stay here . i 'm , uh , meeting the roofer . morgan : oh , kiki and i are n't gon na do the shingles ? i was actually looking forward to doing that . michael : you and kiki on the roof with a nail gun ? no , i ca n't afford the insurance . morgan : come on . we 're a good team , man . look at this place . it 's a palace . michael : you do good work , little bro . morgan : well , you got to give , you know , credit to kiki , too . she 's a good partner . i mean , i need a wrench -- she 's there with it before i even ask , you know ? i mean , we 're a really good team . we 're a well - oiled machine . rosalie : no , i did not get my freak on with michael . nina : why not ? rosalie : well , for starters , it was only the second time i 've ever seen him . secondly , i was on a double date . he was with kiki . i was with morgan . and , thirdly , we were in a public place . nina : oh . yeah . silas and i -- we always used to have sex in public places . rosalie : eh . t.m.i . t.m.i . nina : my point is that you do n't need privacy to get the job ... done . you got it ? in fact , a public place is better . the odds are greater that kiki will just walk in on you and michael doing something and it 'll break her heart . rosalie : well , i 'm really sorry , but michael and i did nothing more than talk last night . nina : [ sighs ] so , what you 're telling me is you made no progress at all ? rosalie : i 'm not saying that . i had michael to myself for a little while while morgan was off having a convo with kiki . i did everything i could to sow seeds of doubt about the close bond between his brother and his girlfriend . michael : so , are you and kiki okay -- i mean , after last night ? morgan : what , when i bit her head off for daring to suggest that i might want to bond with what may be my kid ? michael : yeah , that . morgan : yeah . i mean , she apologized . so did i . we 're cool . michael : i wish i could help you with this , morgan . morgan : yeah . i - i wish you could , too . i just , you know -- there 's a lot going on , and up until last night , i 've been avoiding everything . i 've been focusing on everything but ava and the baby , and then she said that , and i overreacted . michael : yeah , maybe just a little . morgan : but i know kiki was looking out for me , and once i cooled off , i realized that what she said was just what i needed to hear . ava : take ms . santiago downstairs and escort her from the building . sabrina : ms. jerome , please . this will only take a few minutes . ava : i have nothing to say to you . sabrina : i know . but i have something very important to say to you . silas : i 'm sorry for dumping on your friend , all right ? you know , the fact that you 're willing to go the distance to make up to him for what ava did -- it shows what a really good kid you are and how lucky i am to have you in my life . kiki : i could n't agree with you more . silas : i thought so . i 'll tell you what -- i 'm gon na make you a promise , all right ? no more bashing franco -- not as long as you two are friends . kiki : not that i 've been a great friend lately . silas : why would you say that ? kiki : i 'm keeping something from him . franco : what 's going on with you ? carly : uh , i ... i just hate that you wasted your birthday wish on something we ca n't change . franco : you 're amazing to me . you 're so sweet to me . and you 're so truthful . and i just feel like i do n't deserve that after the way i treated you . carly : what ? you had an emotional , tiny meltdown and you tossed around a few pillows . so what ? franco : i was a lunatic . i saw two wineglasses on the table , and that turned me into some kind of jealous vigilante ? i get to run up the stairs . every time i wake up in this room , i 'm reminded and i cringe . i looked for sonny in the closet . i looked for sonny under the bed , carly , and of course he was n't there . you would never do anything like that to me . i 'm ashamed . carly : we all have regrets , okay ? franco : not you . carly : you know what ? when my birthday comes around , i 'm gon na wish that you never mention this stupid episode ever again , because it 's in the past . it 's in the past , just like my relationship with sonny . you 're the only man for me . you 're the only man i want , and i 'm gon na prove it to you . franco : wow . carly : happy birthday . franco : you 're not kidding . carly : mnh - mnh . sonny : i can not trust ava to have a safe pregnancy , so i got to keep her someplace where i know she 's gon na do right by the baby . where are we at getting her back ? shawn : well , today 's the day . i 've had the team in place and plan ready for weeks now . now we 're just waiting for a window now that julian 's left town . he 'll be gone all day . sonny : be careful , and i know i keep telling you this , but nothing happens to that baby , right ? shawn : of course . sonny : okay . do what you got to do . ava : you can leave us , fritz . fritz : i 'll be right outside . ava : what do you have to say for yourself , nurse santiago ? sabrina : i came to apologize . i 'm sorry , ms . jerome . i never should have said what i did about your baby . you asked me for information and reassurance , and i went to the worst possible scenario . i told you that you could be losing your child , and , yes , that 's always possible . anything is possible . but in your case , you and your baby are fine . i was angry about losing gabriel . i still am . and i guess seeing you pregnant and in pain somehow triggered all of that for me . and i 'm sorry i could n't separate my experience from yours . nina : oh , listen to you ! sowing seeds of doubt ! holding out on me . so , what did you tell michael ? did you tell him that yours was a shoulder to cry on and that you would fill in for kiki when he got the urge ? rosalie : michael and i talked about his brother , okay ? he 's a superdecent guy , actually . he 's like -- he totally knows what morgan 's going through with ava jerome and her baby and whether it 's his or his father 's . nina : okay . yeah , yeah . i know all about ava jerome 's second kid . i know . i 'm letting that one gestate for a bit . i 'm focusing on ava 's firstborn -- you know , the one that was born while i was married to silas . rosalie : kiki . yeah . she should totally pay for being the innocent product of that affair . nina : yes , she should ! it does n't look like revenge is coming anytime soon , though . my goodness ! did anything happen at all with michael -- anything at all , rosalie ? did something happen ? rosalie : yeah , something happened ! michael : i 'm glad you and kiki made up . took you long enough , though . morgan : what do you mean ? michael : well , i mean , you stormed into kelly 's , and kiki followed you to try and patch things up , and then that 's when your date arrived . morgan : well , i would n't really call rosalie my date . michael : well , i mean , you invited her to join us for dinner , and when she got there , you were gone , and so was kiki , so me and rosalie just reintroduced ourselves to each other and just sat there and sat there and sat there and waited for you and kiki to get back . morgan : yeah , that was -- that was kind of rude . sorry . michael : yeah , well , rosalie had more than a couple remarks about it , though . morgan : what do you mean ? what kind of remarks ? michael : she suggested that there was more going on between you two . morgan : is that what you think ? you think something 's going on between me and kiki ? ava : i was in pain . i thought my child was in trouble . so i left the safety of my home and went to the hospital , where , instead of taking care of me , you frightened me . you told me that i might be having a miscarriage when you had no idea what was actually going on . you were completely unprofessional when i was in a very vulnerable position . sabrina : i know . i lost it . and it had nothing to do with you . god , you 're not the one who ran patrick 's car off the road . and , still , i was taking it out on you . i was completely unfair . ava : yes . you were . sabrina : clearly , i 'm not over what happened to gabriel and me . how could i be ? i 'm getting help , but it 's slow - going . so , if you want to file a complaint against me with my supervisor , you should . sabrina : what matters most to me is that you understand where i 'm coming from . i 'm deeply sorry that i frightened you . please ... can you forgive me ? michael : this has nothing to do with what i think . you know , i - i know you and kiki had a lot to work through last night , and i 'm glad you did . it 's just , you know , you made a point to invite rosalie , and you were n't there to meet her , so i just thought , you know , you should be aware she seemed a little annoyed . morgan : what did she say ? michael : well , she said that if she were me , she would be suspicious of the two of you . morgan : suspicious of what ? michael : she jumped on the fact that you guys had been married and you 're living together . she said she would be jealous , and she was amazed that i was n't . but , uh , i did my best to convince her that , you know , i 'm -- i 'm cool with you guys . morgan : you are cool , right ? i mean , you 're not jealous of me and kiki ? kiki : i found out something by accident . silas : something that concerns franco ? kiki : yeah . um , see , and if he found out about it , i 'm not sure he 'd be able to recover . silas : well , maybe that 's reason enough not to say anything . kiki : that 's what i keep telling myself , but i feel like i 'm lying to him . silas : well , from what you 've told me , you 're not supposed to know this information anyway , so maybe it 's none of your business . kiki : but , of course , i just had to go make it worse . i am my mother 's daughter , after all , so why not just complicate things ? silas : how ? kiki : i confided in my ex instead of my boyfriend . nina : you know , rosalie , do you just stay up late , thinking of ways to drive me crazy ? rosalie : no , not at all . nina : then why did n't you tell me up front that something went on with michael ? rosalie : because michael was n't there when it happened . nina : listen , for the record , i do n't care what you do with morgan as long as it does n't interfere with what you 're doing with michael . rosalie : no . morgan was n't there , either . well , he kind of was . he was talking with kiki . nina : and ? rosalie : they 're keeping a secret from michael . nina : [ gasps ] oh , really ? kiki is a little slut . she 's getting it on with both the brothers . rosalie : no , no . nina : [ gasps ] she 's pitting the brothers against each other . rosalie : no , no , okay ? this is n't about morgan and kiki . they were talking about someone else -- your new best friend , franco . carly : happy birthday . franco : it 's a very [ chuckles ] very happy birthday . you 're a hell of a present , carly . carly : you deserve it . franco : i do n't know about that , but i 'll take it . carly : and you know what ? franco : what ? carly : there 's more . franco : there 's -- um , wow . carly : [ chuckles ] franco : uh ... i - i 'd love more . you know that . but i do have to go to work . carly : i know that . after work , i have dinner set up at the metro court . the chef is going to prepare all your favorites . i even had him import a truffle for you and your guests . franco : guests ? why would there be guests ? carly : you have to have guests at a birthday party . franco : who would come to a birthday party for me , carly ? come on . everybody hates me . carly : no , they do n't ! franco : yeah , they do . carly : what about your dad ? franco : scotty can tolerate me in small doses . i think , truthfully , it 's you that he does n't like so much . carly : no , he does n't , but the feeling 's mutual . but it 's your birthday , and i can suck it up if he can . you want him there , right ? franco : sure . thanks . carly : awesome . franco : yeah . invite scotty . carly : okay . is there anybody that 's maybe a little more fun that you might want there ? franco : um ... actually , yeah . yeah . carly : who ? franco : kiki . carly : oh . okay . franco : yeah . i think we 're kind of friends , right ? i mean , she did stand by me when heather kidnapped you and everybody else blamed me for it . carly : 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 , kiki can come to the party ? carly : i do n't think that 's a good idea . sonny : i 'm gon na feel a lot better once ava is secure and under my control . shawn : plan 's already in motion . sonny : do not let her slip away , 'cause once that baby 's born , she 's a dead woman . olivia : sonny ! i just heard from dante . he 's okay ! sonny : thank god ! olivia : and so are lulu and maxie and detective west . sonny : what happened ? olivia : he could n't really talk . he said there was a lot to tell , but he just wanted to let me know that they were all right . i 've been saying hail marys nonstop , and i got my miracle . our boy is coming home . sonny : that 's the best news i 've heard all day . [ chuckles ] olivia : sonny , i know you 've still got your share of problems , but ... sonny : no , no , no . olivia : ... does n't this really make you feel like everything 's gon na work out ? [ sighs ] sabrina : can you forgive me ? ava : i understand that you have suffered a terrible tragedy , and , as i said , i am very sorry that you had to go through that . if you are getting the help you need and you do n't do this to another expectant mother ... i can accept your apology . sabrina : thank you so much . i 've been sick about it . you have no idea . and i 'm sorry for disturbing you like this . i just -- i could n't live with myself until i 'd apologized . ava : it 's over . let 's leave it in the past . sabrina : yes . of course . anyway , i should go . i 've got to get back to work and then to my grief counselor . ava : good for you . sabrina : oh . i almost forgot . i have something for you . franco : why do n't you want kiki to come to my party ? i thought you liked her . carly : i do . can you do it ? i just , um -- well , she 's with michael , and you guys do n't get along . franco : that 's another thing i regret . i should never have threatened you with telling michael that sonny killed aj . i 'm sorry . carly : no , i - i - i appreciate that . i do . it 's just i do n't feel right inviting kiki and not inviting michael . franco : okay . so , invite michael . you and i are together , right ? i ca n't avoid michael forever . it 's a special occasion , and i really want kiki there , so ... carly : okay . it 's your birthday . you should have whatever you want . kiki : i feel like i betrayed michael by confiding in morgan . because michael is my boyfriend , he 's the one i should be talking to , but michael hates franco , and if i told him what i know , i know he would tell franco . silas : and morgan -- he does n't share michael 's feelings about franco ? kiki : well , morgan moved out the day that franco moved in , so , no , he hates him , too , but ... i know that morgan would n't say anything -- not if i asked him not to . and michael -- he just does n't get that franco has really changed . he does n't believe it . and i do n't want to keep fighting him on it , so i just avoid the subject altogether . silas : hmm . okay . um , i 'm a little confused , but i guess i understand why you did n't tell michael . but why did you tell morgan ? kiki : i trust morgan . and instinctively or subconsciously , morgan could tell that something was wrong with me , and he kept asking and asking , and so i - i told him . and that 's the way it is with -- with me and morgan . it 's -- it 's just easy with him . morgan : it does n't bother you that kiki and i spend a lot of time together because we work together , we live together ? michael : okay . no , no . this is my project , all right ? i - i put you guys here . i hired you . morgan : and now what -- you regret it ? michael : no ! no ! i mean , come on . look at this place . you guys are one of the best investments i ever made . morgan : okay . so , we 're good , then , right ? michael : yeah . i 'm just saying i can see why your date would have a problem . morgan : yeah , but who cares what she thinks ? you know the truth , right ? 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 ? [ cell phone rings ] michael : it 's dad . morgan : okay . well , it 's probably about dante . put it on speaker . michael : hey , dad . you 're on speaker . morgan : hey , dad . sonny : boys , your bro 's okay , all right ? so 's lulu . michael : oh , good . what about maxie and detective west ? sonny : from what i hear , you know , everybody 's safe . morgan : did they catch that son of a bitch ? sonny : i do n't have any details , but when i find out , i 'll let you guys know , okay ? michael : thanks , dad . that 's a huge relief . thank you . sonny : they 're all coming home . hey , you know what ? maybe , uh , we can celebrate -- get together . michael : yeah . yeah . that 'd be great . morgan : yeah , i 'd like that . um , thanks -- thanks for letting us know . sonny : of course . i 'll be in touch , okay ? i do n't know if i -- am i imagining things , or was morgan being civil to me ? olivia : maybe worrying about his brother has shown him that you ca n't take things for granted . please , please , god , let one good thing come out of all this . maybe you and morgan can finally heal a little more . sabrina : these are for you . you left so fast last night , the doctor was n't able to give you your prescription . it 's for the cramping . ava : safe for the baby ? sabrina : he would n't have prescribed it otherwise . thought i 'd save you the trip to the hospital . ava : well , that was very thoughtful of you . thank you . carly : okay . so , uh ... i 'll invite kiki , and michael can decide whatever he wants to do . who else would you like to invite to your party ? franco : i ca n't imagine who . i do n't have any friends . carly : what about nina clay ? nina : it 's about franco ? rosalie : it affects him . nina : how did it go from breaking up michael and kiki to knowing something about franco ? rosalie : kiki knows something that 's going on behind franco 's back , and she does n't want to tell michael or franco . nina : she 's a snake . honestly , franco really cares about kiki , and this is how she pays him back ? i knew his feelings were misguided . what does she know ? rosalie : oh . well , it 's not really any of kiki 's business -- or ours , for that matter . nina : okay . it does n't matter . what secret does kiki know about franco ? rosalie : it turns out that franco 's girlfriend , carly jacks , is sleeping with her ex , sonny corinthos . sonny : the fact that morgan 's talking to me -- it 's a start , you know ? olivia : yeah , it 's definitely a step in the right direction . sonny : i just want to patch things up because , you know , the sooner , the better . if ava 's baby turns out to be morgan 's , then the kid 's gon na need help raising that baby . olivia : wait a minute . is n't ava gon na be around to raise the baby ? silas : talking to morgan is easier than talking to michael ? kiki : i mean , we 're working together and we live together , so , yeah . i mean , that does help . and we 've been painting this apartment , and what do you do when you paint ? you talk to each other , right ? we did get into a scuffle last night , though . i encouraged him to be part of my mom 's pregnancy in case he does turn out to be the father of the baby , and he went off on me , which he had every right to . i should n't have got involved . it 's none of my business . but , anyway , we 're okay now , thank god . i do n't -- i do n't know what i would do if i lost morgan as a friend . silas : you sure that 's all he is to you ? kiki : what do you mean ? silas : a year ago , you two were married . you left morgan 'cause you 'd fallen for michael . has that changed ? morgan : i have to take off , but that 's great news about dante . michael : yeah . so , uh , where you going ? morgan : uh , i just got something i got to take care of . michael : ah . i got to stick around here , so ... morgan : oh , for the roofer . that 's right . uh , well , yeah . just make yourself at home . you 're the landlord . we 're good ? michael : about ... ? morgan : kiki . michael : yeah , man . we 're cool . morgan : okay , great . all right . i 'll see ya . kiki : morgan and i are just friends -- that 's it . we 've come a long way to get to this comfortable place that we 're in , and i love what i have with morgan , but i am definitely with michael , okay ? silas : okay . kiki : besides , morgan is interested in someone new now . silas : someone other than your mother , i hope -- someone who wo n't cause you as much trouble . kiki : actually , she 's nina 's nurse . nina : carly slept with sonny ? rosalie : according to kiki . nina : really ? i mean , i knew that carly kissed sonny . i knew that . but then she told franco that she pushed sonny away and said that she was with franco . she was lying ? rosalie : all i know is what i heard . kiki was thanking morgan for not telling michael that his mom slept with sonny . nina : and she does n't want michael to know because ... ? rosalie : i do n't know . i guess she 's afraid that he 'll tell franco and that 'll break them up and she does n't want that , for whatever reason . nina : oh , i ca n't believe this . oh , franco is so in love with his girlfriend , carly , and she 's sleeping with somebody else . i mean , he told me over and over and over again that nothing is going on between sonny and carly , and she 's doing this to him . she 's making a fool out of him . rosalie : why do you care so much ? you care this much about franco ? nina : yeah , i do , because he 's my friend . he 's my friend , rosalie . you ever have one of those ? you ever had a friend ? you ca n't sit idly by while somebody 's cheating on them . that happened to me . rosalie : so , what are you gon na do ? are you gon na tell franco ? nina : you let me worry about franco . you just focus on michael . franco : you want to invite nina clay to my birthday party ? carly : you consider her a friend , right ? franco : yeah , absolutely . see , here 's the thing -- um ... i kind of got on her case a little bit about something between her and her husband which really was none of my business , and i apologized . carly : did she accept your apology ? franco : yeah . carly : so , all 's good , right ? franco : um , well , if we invite nina , then we have to invite her husband . i mean , we invited michael because of kiki . so , if we invite nina , then we really have to bring along silas , and -- carly : why do n't you let nina decide ? you want her there , right ? franco : yeah . yeah , i do . carly : yeah . franco : might be kind of fun for her . she 's not exactly popular . you know what she told me ? she said i was the first friend she 'd had in 20 years . carly : she 'd been in a coma for 20 years . but i get it . i get it . franco : yeah . carly : [ laughs ] franco : you 're sure you 're okay with this ? carly : yes ! it was my idea ! franco : i think that 's probably what i should have wished for . carly : what ? franco : well , that i would handle your friendships with the opposite sex with as much as grace as you appear to be handling my friendships . carly : enough of that , okay ? enough of that . besides , there 's gon na be candles on something tonight . you can make that wish later . franco : thank you for making my birthday so special . carly : oh . franco : i do n't think anybody 's done that for me . well , i do n't think i 've had a special birthday since i was a kid . carly : then we have a lot of years to make up for . franco : i love you . carly : i love you , too . happy birthday . olivia : now , what were you saying about , uh -- sonny : i was just saying that i 'm looking out for my son and that he 's never been a father , so i 'm gon na have to help him raise the baby . olivia : well , god willing , you 'll get the chance . and i got to go pick up rocco . i left him with lulu 's aunt bobbie , who spoils the kid rotten . sonny : and you do n't ? olivia : well , can you blame me ? it 's a grandma 's prerogative ! sonny : i am so happy to see you happy . olivia : i did n't think that i would ever feel this way again . sonny : [ chuckles ] olivia : i will give you an eta for dante as soon as i hear from him when they 're coming home , okay ? sonny : all right . olivia : bye , shawn . shawn : that 's good news . sonny : i almost blew -- did you see me t -- did you hear me talking about morgan ? shawn : yeah , but you covered yourself . sonny : i got carried away 'cause dante 's coming home , morgan 's coming around , and kristina 's safe at school and franco 's gon na keep his mouth shut about aj , which leaves me with michael . now ... i just need ava under my control , and my family will be complete . shawn : i 'm on it . ava : this pregnancy has had its share of stressful moments . sabrina : well , i 'm sorry to have contributed to that in any way . ava : bygones , right ? and all that matters now is that my baby and i are back on the right track . thank you again for bringing these by . sabrina : i owe it to you to help you look out for that baby . i appreciate you accepting my apology . fritz : everything okay in there ? sabrina : everything went exactly as i 'd hoped . silas : morgan is seeing rosalie ? kiki : yes . is that a problem ? silas : for morgan it is . i do n't trust her as far as i can throw her . [ knock on door ] michael : come in , doug ! i was just calling ... you . kiki : you do n't trust rosalie ? silas : no , i do n't . there 's something going on there . i just have n't figured it out yet . tell morgan to be careful , okay ? kiki : okay . i will . silas : i have to head in to the hospital . but ... this was nice . we should do it again sometime . kiki : yes . i will have a $ 12 bowl of cereal with you any day . silas : take care of yourself , okay ? kiki : you , too . carly : hi . i was gon na call you . are you free tonight ? i 'm -- i 'm throwing franco a little birthday dinner . kiki : it 's franco 's birthday ? carly : all day , and he would like you to be there . kiki : and you would n't ? carly : i do n't want you to ruin his birthday dinner and i do n't want you to ruin his life by telling him bout me and sonny . franco : hey ! nina : hey . franco : what a day , right ? what a glorious day . nina : you 're cheerful for you . franco : yes , i am . i 'm having the best morning . it 's carly . i just -- i feel so loved and so appreciated , and i ca n't believe it . i was such an idiot to ever not trust her . i will never doubt carly again . nina : franco ... i 'm sorry ... but there 's something i have to tell you . carly : i know you gave me a gift the other day when you did n't tell franco about sonny and me . i 'd like to make sure it stays that way . kiki : and it will as long as you keep your distance from sonny . ava : let 's make each other a promise , okay , baby ? there are n't gon na be any more scares like the one last night . i do n't want to go to that hospital again until it 's time for us to meet . no more sabrina . no more false alarms . and i 'll take my medication to make sure of that . [ next_on ] kiki : know what ? michael : the secret you and morgan are keeping from me . nina : ( to franco ) rosalie heard something . you should hear it , too . sonny : ( to carly ) i 'm taking back ava . morgan : ( to ava ) please consider having a paternity test .

after ava 's arraignment trial for the murder of connie , scott has represented her and successfully gotten his new `` client `` acquitted of the charges after remembering to remove the flashdrive of her recorded confession so that the new das can not find it . they go looking for the device in his hotel room but discover that `` somebody `` has broken into scott 's room , made a mess and took the flashdrive . he suspects that ric might have gotten sonny or his men to do that . he reminds her that the `` acquittal `` is only temporary as the judge informed everyone that as soon as the flashdrive recording is found , ava will be re - tried , as there is no statute of limitations for murder . yet she 's not about to pay him until she has access to the flashdrive , for that very reason and reminds him she can get him for extortion if he does n't cooperate with her wishes . she then goes home and re - does her hair , appearance and mannerisms to go back to being ava instead of denise demuccio . not far behind , tracy 's ex and dylan 's dad , paul comes to see her , revealing he might know ava even though it appears she does not know him . paul has also revealed to dylan and maxie that he can help them over - ride legal restrictions that have been put in the movie they 're working on by contacting his old friend , the mayor janet lomax . we wonder what is up with paul 's secrets .

[ scene_break ] emily : dillon grew up without ever really knowing his father . he saw lulu 's pregnancy as a chance to make up for that , to be the father he never had . nikolas : and luke was never much of a father to lulu . see , i think that 's why lucky was resisting the abortion so much , because he thinks that luke is just looking for the quick fix , like he always does . emily : so you 're afraid that if luke tries to intervene with lucky , lucky 's just going to see it as luke trying to get back at him ? nikolas : well , given luke 's own history with substance abuse , i do n't think he 's the best person to be giving advice on overcoming an addiction . emily : he could be the perfect person . he might be an example of what lucky might become if he does n't clean up his life . i mean , of course , we 'd all have to tell luke that he 's going to be used as a cautionary tale when we ask him to confront lucky . nikolas : that might work . let 's see . nikolas : tracy ? hello , it 's nikolas cassadine . is luke there ? what do you mean , `` not for long `` ? oh . thank you . emily : what 's wrong ? nikolas : luke 's leaving town . emily : now ? nikolas : hey , what better time ? i mean , his son 's wrecking his life and his daughter just had an abortion . what is it going to take for him to finally realize that his children need him in their lives ? what 's it going to take ? emily : laura . your mother was the only person that ever had any sort of influence over luke . i mean , i ca n't imagine him denying her much of anything , no matter what the sacrifice . nikolas : i wish that my mother were an option , but she 's not . emily : okay . all right . um -- you know what ? then we 'll just -- we 'll keep trying . we wo n't stop until we get lucky into treatment . nikolas : you 're amazing . you never give up hope , do you ? i 'm really glad that you 're still in my life . emily : me , too .

[ scene_break ] georgie : since you heard that lulu was pregnant , you cast your own dreams aside to figure out how you could make your life work with a baby . dillon : yeah , well , excuse me for not being the type to take the easy way out . georgie : easy ? dillon , that 's honestly what you think lulu did ? there 's nothing about having an abortion that 's easy -- not making the decision and certainly not living with it afterwards . dillon , lulu 's sitting in her room right now , trying to make her life feel worthy , trying to be able to justify terminating that pregnancy . nothing about that is easy . dillon : i know this . i know that -- i know that none of this is lulu 's fault . i just -- i feel like it got so out of hand that the person i was before just disappeared . georgie : you 're still the same person , dillon . that 's never going to change . dillon : then why do i feel so different ? georgie : because you need time , and so does lulu . right now the best thing for you is to focus on something else , like college . dillon : oh , yeah . okay , what am i going to do ? enroll in a bunch of stupid clubs or obsess over the new field or , like , `` oh , who do i have for english lit ? i do n't know . who do you have ? `` it 's not like i have n't done it before . oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . you have n't , though . have you -- did you go down to campus ? how was your -- how was your first taste of college life ? georgie : fine . dillon : you 've been obsessing over starting college ever since i first met you . all you can say is `` fine `` ? come on . georgie : no , it 's just like you said . i mean , people , you know , obsessing about the new football field , and even more people signing up for all those geeky clubs . i have no idea who the english lit professor is , and honestly , dillon , you do n't want to hear about that , so -- dillon : no , you 're wrong . i do . i want to hear all about it . [ scene_break ] luke : i want to tell you something -- i 'm very proud of the way you handled yourself through this . it was hard , it was difficult and painful . but you listened to your head and your heart , and you made a decision that you can live with . so i want you to face the future with confidence . i -- i 'm not quite through . i also need you to know that i 'm not leaving because i do n't love you or because i ca n't face what 's coming down the pike . i can . it 's just that there is something i have to do . it 's important , and it 's got a shelf life , so i have to do it now . lulu : okay . i already told you you do n't need to explain , so why are you acting like you need my permission ? luke : what i need is for you to know that i love you and that it was a privilege for me to be here while all this went down . lulu : all my life i dreamt about you rescuing me . and guess what , you did . i know that you love me . you proved that the minute that you came back . luke : take care , peanut . lulu : okay . uh , dad ? keep in touch . luke : oh , you know , that is really a hard promise for me to make . lulu : just a yes or a no . luke : you are such a tyrant ! damn , damn . now , see , that 's it . that 's the picture i 'm going to carry with me -- my daughter . luke : and the answer is yes !

[ scene_break ] marty : great . thank you . jax : hey , hey ! we meet at last . alexis : hi . jax : hi . alexis : hi . i 'm sorry about the other night . jax : oh , no , no . do n't apologize , okay ? a mother should never tear herself away from teething children to have dinner with a friend , really . alexis : well , i 'm glad i stayed for their sakes , but i 'm really sorry that i missed you . jax : can i buy you a late breakfast ? alexis : no , because i 'm meeting a client upstairs in about 15 minutes -- but that client is always late , so i have -- jax : oh . alexis : 10 minutes -- jax : wow . 10 minutes . alexis : to be very nosy and to find out how you are -- and do n't tell me that you 're fine , because i know that you 're not . i know that your wife and your stepsons are sent away somewhere and you 're lonely , so you 've got 15 minutes to vent . jax : why would i do that , because you 've already heard it all . okay , sonny 's business directly affects the people around him , even his children -- especially his children . and while we 're on the subject , do you feel that molly and kristina have enough protection at wyndemere ? alexis : how much protection is enough protection ? we 're on an island ; there are guards on the island . they guard the house , they guard the grounds , and do n't confuse that with sonny 's guards , who guard the harbor and then follow me and the children whenever we go into the city . if you look over your right shoulder -- do n't look -- you see that guy -- no neck , really bad suit ? jax : uh - huh . alexis : he 's with me , whether i like it or not . jax : why do n't you just leave ? why do n't i just leave ? i mean , i got houses all over the world . mom would love it if i brought carly and the kids to australia or alaska or hawaii -- you know , it 's surf season there . alexis : mm - hmm . jax : it could be the house on the north shore . alexis : mm - hmm , that sounds nice . jax : really ? alexis : mm - hmm . jax : you could join us . i could get two houses next to each other right on the beach . you know , i know two places that are right at sunset , they 're really amazing . alexis : it 's a really generous offer , but i 'm not really the hawaii type . `` surf 's up `` -- see , that 's not me . you should go , though . jax : i should . alexis : actually , you really should , because i do n't know how you can live with the insanity and the violence of sonny 's life one more second than you have to . jax : you 're not really asking me that , you 're asking yourself that , and i would really like to know the answer . [ scene_break ] edward : oh , hello , scott . here , have some breakfast over there and make yourself at home . scott : what 's your angle , edward ? tracy : no ! scott : agh -- tracy : not there . ahem -- sorry . the couch is more comfortable . scott : i 'll stand . alan : that was graceful . scott : pour me a cup of coffee , sweetheart -- black , two sugars . what do you want ? monica : oh , i do n't think that should be too hard to figure out , scott . edward : i 'm sure you know we all want to save lulu from moving in with that no - good son of yours . scott : that lizard is not my son , and you 're the one that pushed the two of them out of here together last night . alice : your coffee , sir . scott : agh -- thank you . alan : it 'll never work . alice : it 'll never work . monica : she 's right . alan : i agree . edward : do n't be so pessimistic . tracy : daddy spoke too soon last night . edward : now , look , the idea of getting luke out of this house is very appealing , but lulu 's a different matter . she , like her mother , is very willful , and she 's high - spirited and has a tendency to make some wrong choices , but she is my step - granddaughter . alan : is he laying it on thick , or what ? edward : lulu has no business moving in with your son or with anybody else . scott : all right , forget whose son it is , all right ? why your sudden concern for lulu ? tracy : daddy 's had a reconsidered thought . monica : look , lulu was left in our care . we are obligated to protect her from -- from her worst impulses . alice : yeah , like shacking up with your son . edward : that 's why you have to arrest her immediately . scott : arrest her for what ? edward : i do n't care . jaywalking , shoplifting , parking too close to the curb -- no misdemeanor is too small . monica : see , then she just is released to our custody . edward : and it 's all been take care of . scott : i ca n't arrest her for jaywalking , and if i could , it would n't stick . she 's of age , she 'd be released on her own recognizance , so it 's -- it 's not going to work . edward : well , you 're the special prosecutor -- make it work , damn it . scott : well , now that you put it that way , i do n't know what to say . wait a minute , it 's coming to me -- i do n't think so . spinelli : the simian one showed up here last night searching for fair lulu . evidently , she had fled his den of iniquity distraught . okay . anyway -- anyway , the unworthy one would n't review what actually happened until stone cold and his grasshopper came down on him like the goth god of zune and wrenched the truth from his empty and dark soul . and the truth is the unworthy one convinced fair lulu to move in with him . milo : oh . spinelli : hmm . and then the bad blond one appeared bitter and unkind and revealed that she and the unworthy one had a cruel wager , and the dubious reward was that maxie and the unworthy one would make the beast with two backs , and they did on numerous occasions . great , you do n't understand . um -- okay , uh , logan cheated on lulu with maxie . and so now fair lulu , betrayed and brokenhearted , fled into the night , and is lost to all who love her and want to bring her home . [ scene_break ] logan : lulu never came back last night . maxie : really ? where do you think she ran off to -- the quartermaines ' ? poor thing , having to be shacked up at the nicest house in town . logan : i have n't heard from her . maxie : i 'm not surprised . she 's probably with bobbie . i doubt she went over to lucky and elizabeth 's -- they probably had a bad fight , too . logan : i have n't heard from her in almost 12 hours . maxie : she 'll resurface , logan , maybe around dinnertime . she 's just off playing poor little lulu . logan : get out . maxie : i ca n't believe you 're buying into this . logan : all you had to do was leave us alone . maxie : hey , a deal is a deal . we made a bet that you would nail lulu , and you did -- and then some . i was the reward , and i paid up . logan : why -- why did you tell her ? maxie : the whole plan was to humiliate lulu , remember ? we decided from the beginning we were going to tell her , so you ca n't be mad about that . logan : i 'm so glad coop 's rid of you . you 're such a waste . maxie : at least i did n't pretend to care about lulu . logan : you do n't understand what you 've done . maxie : come on . lulu was asking for it -- begging for it , really . i mean , the way she was sauntering around throwing herself at you , and the moving in , logan -- i know that was not your idea . logan : she was my chance . maxie : no . she is a spoiled brat who never has to pay for anything that she does . she broke up dillon and georgie . she accidentally got pregnant , convinced everyone to feel sorry for her , then had an abortion . she 's always whining about her parents , and at least her mom has an excuse for not wanting to be in her life . her dad wants to be around sometimes , which is more than i can say for either one of us . logan : how can you feel sorry for yourself after what you 've done ? maxie : i just think that lulu needs to pay for the choices that she makes . no one made her fall in love with you , logan , when she obviously belongs with that cyber - geek guy who follows her around like a wounded puppy . i mean , how did she think it was going to turn out with you -- sweet and tender ? logan : you -- you think you can do this -- hurt her and -- and not pay for it ? maxie : see , you 're the one that hurt her , logan . you made her think that you care about her , when we both know that she 's not what you need . logan : you have no idea what i need , or who i am . maxie : god . she 's really gotten to you , has n't she ? [ scene_break ] jason : i need to speak to you alone . lucky : i do n't send elizabeth out of the room when i 'm having a discussion . elizabeth : we 'll stay inside ; you guys can go out on the porch . it 's no problem . lucky : outside . jason : lulu call you last night ? lucky : no . is there a problem ? jason : well , she had some fight with logan , took off from his apartment . she has n't called anybody and spinelli 's worried about her . lucky : so you turned it into an excuse to stop in on my wife ? [ scene_break ] jax : i do n't understand why you 've never left port charles . alexis : the warm and cheerful ambiance . jax : right . i mean , you had a great job with a manhattan law firm ; you were summoned down here by stefan . why -- why did you stay in port charles ? alexis : are you trying to get rid of me ? jax : look , you have two young daughters with two men who have treated you despicably . alexis : that 's the catch -- i have two young daughters who ca n't be taken away from their respective fathers . jax : no , no , no , no , i disagree . no , let 's start with sonny , okay ? the reason kristina 's life and molly 's life are in danger is because of his -- his life . his life is surrounded by violence , okay , so he could not object if you decided to move kristina and molly to a safer place . alexis : and in fairness , i do n't think he would , not anymore . not that he 's become all enlightened and reasonable -- that 's not it . it 's just that he 's mellowed a bit , and i think that he sees that his children are n't possessions , and that what 's best for kristina matters more to him than what 's comfortable and convenient . ric , on the other hand , would never in a million years let me move to manhattan , london , madrid , or any of the other thousand places that i would love to go . jax : why do n't you just go ? i mean , i 'm sure between sonny and me , we could get ric to cooperate . alexis : you are trying to get rid of me . jax : no , i 'm just worried about you , okay ? you almost died of cancer last year , okay ? you 're in remission now , and -- and your life is being threatened by some mobster that you do n't even know and have nothing to do with . alexis : you 're projecting . jax : and you 're avoiding . [ alexis chuckles ] alexis : okay . i stay in port charles because i have a nephew here that i love . i stay in port charles because my best friend is here , and i dearly love you . and then there 's sam -- and i know that 's a complicated relationship , but we keep trying to connect . but mostly , i stay because i want my daughters to know their fathers . sonny , as it turns out , is a really good dad , and he `` loves `` her . and ric , with all his faults -- and there are many -- loves molly . and i hope to god that whatever it was that i appreciated about him was real and will be accessible to molly . but i 'd rather that she know him and form her own opinions than feel his absence . jax : you know i 've told you this before , but you are an excellent mother . alexis : hmm . thank you . i try . yeah . [ scene_break ] scott : lulu can live wherever she wants . tracy : she belongs here with us . scott : in this dysfunctional mess , tracy ? tracy : we 're trying to protect her . monica : she 's very vulnerable right now . scott : maybe so , but she 's of age . there is nothing i can do . edward : what if it were serena ? alan : touché . tracy : after what you did to lulu in that courtroom , you owe her . edward : she is easy prey for that no - good son of yours . scott : he is not my son . alice : well , i think you 're right to do nothing , because if you were to have lulu arrested for no reason to keep her from the man she loves , mr. luke would be really mad at you . scott : on second thought , i 'm in . alan : go , alice . go , alice . scott : i 'll make a couple of phone calls -- done . emily : hey , guys . monica : oh , hi . emily : has anyone heard from lulu ? tracy : no . what happened ? monica : is n't she with logan ? tracy : daddy practically drove her there last night . emily : spinelli called this morning , he was frantic . tracy : he was born frantic . alan : hey , be nice to her , she 's upset . nikolas : maxie says that logan seduced lulu just to win a bet . monica : ooh -- too much information . emily : she got upset , she ran off , and no one has heard from her since . monica : why wait for the d.n.a . results ? i mean , this sordid little episode just proves that he is your son .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i know everyone 's going to blame me , but there 's no way i could 've known this was going to happen . georgie : what did you do ? maxie : see , you 're already starting . georgie : no , maxie , so are you . this sounds like damage control . what sort of damage did you do ? maxie : all i did was tell lulu the truth -- it 's not my fault she could n't handle it . georgie : what do you mean , `` the truth `` ? maxie : logan and i made a bet that he could sleep with lulu , and if and when he did , i would sleep with him . georgie : that 's why you slept with logan ? maxie : that 's one of the reasons . georgie : so you told lulu ? maxie : do n't you think she deserves to know the kind of guy she 's with -- not like she would ever thank me . she ran off playing the poor , lost little girl , walked out on logan . now no one can find her , and , of course , that 's my fault . [ scene_break ] lucky : when did you become so interested in lulu 's personal life ? jason : if you hear from her , just ask her to call spinelli , okay ? elizabeth : did something happen to lulu ? lucky : she did n't call last night , did she ? elizabeth : no , and i was here all night . what happened ? jason : uh , i really do n't know the details . i know that lulu and logan got into a fight ; she took off from his apartment . spinelli got worried , he asked me to help track her down . lucky : well , i 'll call in some favors downtown and start a search . elizabeth : i 'm sure she 's fine . it 's very spencer of her to take off when she gets hurt . lucky : yeah , well , it 'd be very spencer of her to get into trouble . i need to get downtown . [ scene_break ] edward : tracy , why would you send lulu away with that impostor last night ? tracy : `` me `` ? `` you `` were the one that told her to `` take the monkey and run . `` alice : i should have given logan that crossface chicken wing -- and a flying scissor hold . yes , lulu spencer . alan : i would like to have seen that . monica : maybe she 's at wyndemere . i mean , she could be holed up in a room there and no one would know it for years . tracy : lulu 's too proud to ask her family for help . alice : they said she has n't been missing long enough for them to do an official search . edward : so , what do we have to do -- wait until they find her in a ditch somewhere to know that she 's really gone ? alice : well , they said they 'd keep us informed of any new developments . tracy : what is that supposed to mean ? edward : i 'm calling mac scorpio . tracy : wait ! we all just need to stop , take a breath . it would be nice if one of us could -- fly around , take a little look - see . someone not constrained by time or space . monica : what are you talking about ? alan : that is n't how it works , tracy . edward : you know , we should 've had jason take care of that punk . monica : edward -- god , you do n't ask jason to just `` rub out `` everyone we do n't like . edward : why not ? we have to deal with the fallout from his violent lifestyle . why should n't we get some of the perks ? monica : my god , that is callous , even coming from you . alan : oh , do n't be too hard on him , he 's just scared . tracy : father 's just scared . he does n't mean it . edward : i do mean it . tracy : okay , look , can we just focus on the problem at hand ? i need to find lulu before luke gets back . edward : luke spencer disappears at will , and he pays no attention to the welfare of his child . but if there 's a problem , somehow you 're responsible for it . alan : pay attention , tracy -- your father is empathizing with you . alice : i 'll bet there 's where lulu 's gone -- looking for her father . tracy : great -- and no one knows where he is .

[ chuckles ] the apple of her daddy 's eye . they were such a sweet family . you know , robin adored her . but that did not mean that she neglected her duties here at the hospital . sabrina : so she was dedicated . epiphany : oh . the best . [ chuckles ] she was , uh ... doing the protocol for a patient in the lab when there was an accident . an explosion . now , robin , she did n't survive . sabrina : how awful . that poor woman . epiphany : yeah , so , uh , dr. drake and emma ... they 've been trying to put their lives back together since . patrick : i will get you my notes tomorrow . how 's that ? britt : thank you . i appreciate your input . patrick : of course , dr. westbourne . britt : oh , please . call me britt . patrick : okay . of course , britt . britt : any chance i could buy you dinner ? patrick : oh , that 's not necessary . britt : oh , i do n't mean as a thank you . i meant as dinner . patrick : uh , you mean ... as a date ? monica : i 'm not gon na say i told you so . tracy : really ? and pass up a golden opportunity ? monica : i thought you had a real connection with the man , and i 'm sorry it did n't work out . but the good news is , you found out the truth about joseph before it went too far . tracy : yeah , and you escaped having him move in to your house . monica : i am thinking about you , tracy , and the fact that you realized who he is before you developed real feelings for him . tracy : too late . joe jr. : you see why i had to keep it a secret all these years ? how could i tell my own son that his mother wanted him dead ? so i changed the details , i fudged the timing . i told you we were married . but no matter how you slice it , your mother left you , joey . she never even looked back . trey : okay . okay , dad . i get it . understand why -- why you might have lied to me when i was a little kid , but i 'm a grown man now . so when i agreed to help you get revenge on sonny , you knew he was dating kate howard -- my mother . why did n't you tell me then ? joe jr. : maybe it was n't the right thing to do , kiddo , but ... i love you . i could n't and i ca n't bear to see you hurt . anyway , now you understand why we have to get even with sonny . when he pays , so will she . trey : you want me to plot against my own mother ? joe jr. : that woman does n't deserve the title ! let me ask you something -- when she announced that she was your mother , how did kate act ? did she say she was sorry , beg for your forgiveness , throw her arms around her long - lost boy ? ! trey : she said she wished that i 'd died . johnny : so what 's your big plan ? you gon na take off before kate can walk down the aisle ? connie : what , you think i 'd cut and run ? johnny : hey , all right . so if you want to disappear , i 've had a lot of experience making people do just that over the years . connie : by tying someone to a concrete block and dropping it in the harbor ? no , thank you . johnny : no , i 'm out of the business , connie . and i do n't want you to die . i just want you to go away . so you tell me where you want to go . i 'll set you up . i 'll buy you the plane ticket . i 'll ... get you a bank account till you get on your feet . you name the destination , and i 'll send you there . what , rio ? amsterdam ? you can probably get a lot of good work in amsterdam . connie : no , no , you see , i tried that , and i did n't get further than the airport . johnny : well , you 'd have help this time . connie : yeah . do n't you get it ? sonny 's like a dog with a bone . he would chase me forever . and then what am i supposed to do when he finds me ? i ca n't pretend to be kate for the rest of my life . johnny : well , you do a reasonable imitation . connie : sooner or later , he 'd find out , and he would commit kate . and then i 'd be banished from this world , indefinitely . no , thank you . johnny : well , you 're right . does n't sound good . connie : no , it does n't . it 's not good for you , either , johnny . because the only reason why i exist is our little secret , you see ? so if i go to a shrink and he makes kate remember that she 's innocent , we 're both screwed . johnny : [ breathes deeply ] fine . you 're right -- you ca n't run , you ca n't pretend to be kate for the rest of your life , so ... where does that leave you , connie ? connie : well see . that 's where you come in ... hot shot . michael : trey could be kate 's son ? sonny : all the pieces fit . joe says that kate 's son is still alive . um ... he -- trey 's been manipulating kristina . finally getting her to marry him just at the same time that joe gets out of jail . michael : you think joe jr. set this whole thing up . sonny : well , i mean , look -- he might have been pulling strings from the beginning . forcing trey to use kristina so that way my own daughter can be used against me . michael : [ scoffs ] well , this is gon na wreck kristina . she actually believes in trey . she thinks he actually cares about her . sonny : okay . you can not tell your sister anything . this could all be speculation until we find out for sure that trey is joe jr. 's son . michael : starr could tell us . she saw trey and his father together . starr : so you actually do want something real with trey ? kristina : i thought it 'd be so simple -- we 'd just go to vegas and get a quickie wedding and then come home and get a quickie annulment , and everything would go back to the way it was , except for one important detail . trey would be grateful to me for helping his father , start to trust me ... care about me . starr : and that has n't happened ? kristina : i have n't even had time to find out . my parents are totally flipping . now you tell me that trey 's upset and wo n't even say why . and i 'm sure kate said something horrible to him , which is so unfair , and this whole thing -- starr : okay , kristina ... i have to tell you something , and it 's about trey 's father . [ cell phone rings ] starr : shoot . it 's your brother . hi , michael . michael : hey , starr , um ... look , i 'm at my dad 's . we need to talk to you about trey 's father . was wondering if you can come over . starr : right now ? michael : yeah , you 're the only person who saw trey 's dad , and , uh , we 're hoping that you can i.d . him for us . starr : i 'm with your sister . michael : oh , you 're with kristina ? um , starr , do n't tell her about this , okay ? starr : okay , yeah , you got it . bye . i have to ... meet up with michael . sorry . kristina : wait . you 're about to tell me something about trey 's father . starr : i know , but trey 's gon na be home any minute now , right ? so just wait for him . kristina : you 're not gon na tell me ? starr : kristina , this is something that you need to talk to trey about , not me . trey : she said she wanted to get an abortion , but then she talked to some priest , and he made her feel guilty . joe jr. : yeah , just when i thought that woman could n't sink any lower . you did n't need to hear that garbage . trey : that 's the reason that she left me at the boarding house -- because that was the only option she had to get rid of me . joe jr. : she said that ? those words ? trey : it 's kind of a blur , but , yeah . she ... she said she could n't stand the thought of me , that she wanted me dead . you know , dad , whenever you used to talk about my mother and how she left us ... part of me just thought that maybe you were being a little unfair ... that she could n't possibly be that bad . turns out , she 's actually worse . joe jr. : no , hey , hey , hey . [ chuckles ] just forget her . you know what ? you 're better off without her . trey : wait . wait . no , no , dad , i just realized something . kate 's sick , right ? joe jr. : you 're telling me , right ? trey : no , no , no , i mean , like , she 's sick . she 's got a mental illness -- d.i.d . or whatever it is . that 's the reason that they dropped the charges for her murdering starr 's family because ... 'cause kate did n't remember causing the accident . right ? it was her other personality . joe jr. : so what ? trey : so i 'm saying maybe that 's what happened today , dad . maybe the woman that wanted me dead , the woman that yelled at me ... maybe it was her other personality -- connie . joe jr. : no , do n't . do n't do it , trey . do n't make excuses for her . kate , connie , whatever you call her , she always had a way of working people , you know ? twisting things around to save her own ass . yeah . i 'll give her one thing -- that bitch is one hell of an actress . johnny : okay , so you do n't want to marry sonny . big freakin ' deal . what 's that got to do with me ? connie : just wait till i tell you . it 's gon na blow your mind . johnny : connie , in case you have n't noticed , i 'm recovering from a bullet wound . connie : yeah . johnny : and my painkillers are starting to wear off , and believe me when i say you 're tough enough to take without pharmaceutical assistance . so why do n't you get to your point ? connie : why do n't you shove over and i 'll tell you then ? [ grunts ] that 's a boy . ahh . johnny : okay . so what ? you want a repeat performance ? sonny walks in and finds us in bed together ? i 'm not gon na be that much use to you on life support . connie : shh . what i 've come up with is so much better than before . [ laughter ] britt : it 's true . i am asking you out . patrick : yeah , i , um ... i just do n't think -- britt : i realize we do n't know each other well , but i overheard someone mention that you were single . patrick : i am . i am , uh ... look , i have n't been on a date since ... since my wife died , so ... britt : oh . no one told me that part . i am so sorry . patrick : it 's okay . no , it 's fine , really , but ... uh , thank you for asking . i - i do appreciate that . britt : i 'll let you get back to your work . patrick : yeah . epiphany : normally , i try to keep a tight lid on the gossip around here , but you need to know that this man is still in mourning . sabrina : i just wish i could help . epiphany : i 'll bet you do . sabrina : no ! not like that . i mean , yes , he 's attractive . okay , he 's drop - dead gorgeous . that is -- i -- that 's a bad choice of words . my point is that i feel badly for dr. drake . epiphany : that was a nice try . but i can tell that you 're crushin ' on the man . sabrina : what ? no ! no , you -- no , you do n't have to worry . i would never crush on dr. drake . patrick : excuse me , um ... uh ... sabrina ? can i ask you a question ? sabrina : anything . monica : tracy , you 're not saying ... what are you saying ? tracy : what i 'm saying is , despite his unsavory affiliations , i find joseph to be attentive and considerate and ... hoo ! -- very sexy . he makes me feel good . monica : define `` good . `` tracy : well , it 's a lot better than the prison sentence of a marriage i had to anthony . i like the man 's company . monica : what happened to `` it 's over `` ? tracy : there are two sides to every story . and why would i take sonny corinthos ' word over joseph ? sonny corinthos is an inveterate thug . monica : that he is , but there is no reason for him to lie . and did n't you mention something about a rape charge ? tracy : oh , yeah . according to kate howard , the woman who shot out anthony 's tires and left two people dead . monica : she was suffering from d.i.d . she did n't commit the crimes . her alter did . tracy : and why did n't it ever occur to me to blame my transgressions on a second personality ? monica : because your personality is quite consistent , tracy . you are consistently unpleasant . kate was diagnosed with a mental illness . fortunately , she 's been treated , integrated , and the alter is gone . connie : so , what do you think ? johnny : no way . it 's never gon na happen . connie : not the reaction i was looking for . johnny : are you out of your mind ? connie : johnny , it 's a mutually beneficial agreement , okay ? i stay out of the nuthouse . you stay out of the big house . johnny : forget it . connie : do n't you be so hasty with me , johnny ! you think of the consequences if you do n't play ball with me ! trey : so you think kate 's other personality is just an act ? joe jr. : i 'll give her this much . it 's a creative way to get out of paying for the crap she pulled . but do n't let her fool you son . she left you for dead . best thing for you to do is just put her out of her mind . trey : i just found out she 's my mother . dad , how am i supposed to pretend that did n't happen ? joe jr. : kate howard , connie falconeri , she may have given birth to you , but that woman is not your mother , and she never will be ! the plan has n't changed . we 're still gon na take back what 's ours , what sonny stole from us . i need to know you 're with me , son . trey : how am i supposed to trust you after all these lies ? joe jr. : i protected you the best i could . i 'm only sorry that you had to find out this way . i 'm sorry that you 're hurting over this heartless bitch . trey : what does it matter , dad ? hmm ? as soon as sonny finds out , my marriage to kristina is over . we may need to go our separate ways for a while . do n't reach out to me . whatever you do , do n't sign any papers from sonny . so just refuse to get an annulment ? joe jr. : long as you 're married , we have room to maneuver . trey : `` maneuver . `` yeah , sonny is gon na be furious . joe jr. : oh . who cares ? he ca n't lift a hand against his daughter 's husband . if we play this smart ... you may be able to take back some -- hell , maybe even all -- of what sonny stole from us . sonny : is that him ? starr : yeah , that 's trey 's father . connie : let me tell you what happens if you do n't go with my little proposal . johnny : oh , what ? you suddenly remember you 're not the one who shot out anthony 's tires ? connie : bingo . because one word out of me , johnny , they will open up a whole new investigation , and then people will start putting two and two together , even the idiots at the pcpd -- that is , if todd manning does n't get to you first . johnny : todd manning . connie : yeah . oh , man , i can not wait to see the look on his face when i tell him that you are the one that ran his grandbaby off the road . you know , johnny , todd does n't seem like the kind of man that has much faith in police enforcement . i bet he 'd take a gun and shoot you himself . johnny : sorry to spoil your little revenge plan but todd already knows . connie : really ? and how are you still breathing ? johnny : turns out , i got something just as damning on him . connie : no kidding . johnny , you 're smarter than i thought . johnny : yeah , i have my good days . connie : yeah . okay . you know what ? i 'll just go straight to the cops , then . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na go to the grieving mother herself . you think your star attraction will be so forgiving of you ? face it -- you got to go with me , johnny , or you can kiss your freedom and probably your life goodbye . johnny : i ca n't do what you 're asking . connie : that 's the point -- i 'm not asking you . johnny : it 'll destroy my relationship with carly . connie : what does that have to do with me ? johnny : i 'm not doing it . and you think carly 's even gon na go for that ? do you think sonny 's gon na buy the whole thing ? connie : yes , johnny ! because we 're gon na convince them together ! okay ? come on , johnny . we make a good team . what , have you forgotten about that already ? monica : d.i.d . is a legitimate mental illness . tracy : making kate howard a legitimate witness . it 's just her other personality that 's a homicidal maniac . monica : she has been treated , tracy . tracy : well , bully for her , monica , but it still does n't mean i 'm gon na take her word over joseph 's . monica : oh , so you 're going to trust joseph , a.k.a . joe scully jr. , second- generation mobster ? tracy : i ca n't blame him for his father 's crimes . and besides , he and i have a very intense connection . monica : it 's just great sex . tracy : it 's just great sex ? well , clearly , you have n't had any in a long time or you would n't say that . monica : okay , we 're gon na be late for cook 's funeral . i 'll go get edward and alice . you put some lipstick on and forget about joseph . tracy : [ sighs ] starr : trey was lying to me . michael : which time ? starr : when he said that there was n't a connection between his dad and yours . michael : oh , there 's a connection . starr : and his dad was lying to me , too , right to my face when i asked him if he knew sonny . he said he had never met him . sonny : i know him . and he knows me . [ door opens ] kristina : good . you 're home . trey : kristina . what are you doing here ? kristina : i came to see you . i wanted to figure out what to do about my parents . starr was here . she said you left , that you were upset . what happened ? trey : everything i know -- everything i thought -- i -- i do n't -- i do n't even know what 's really anymore . kristina : what are you talking about ? trey : i 'm sorry . really , i -- everything is just so messed up . kristina : what do you mean ? is this about our wedding ? i mean , i know it 's not w -- trey : no , no , no , no . it 's not about that . i -- i should have never dragged you into this . i 'm sorry . kristina : maybe you have n't noticed but i can be strong when i need to be , so whatever this is ... i can handle it . patrick : and she 's your age , and she 's suffering from a brain tumor . sabrina : oh , god . that 's terrible . patrick : hopefully , she 'll be okay . we 're gon na operate . but she 's very scared , and the only thing that makes her feel better is katy perry . sabrina : katy perry ? patrick : yes , she 's a very big music fan , so i promised her that the first thing she would hear when she comes out of recovery is a katy perry song , except , unfortunately , i do n't know any katy perry . so i 'm hoping and i 'm wondering maybe you can -- abby : are you kidding ? i love katy perry . um , okay , there 's `` wide awake , `` `` last friday night , `` and , um ... oh . wait . of course . `` firework . `` patrick : `` firework `` ? sabrina : it 's all about how special you are -- or everyone is -- and how you should make the most of it . you know , really live life . here . listen . britt : sabrina . sabrina : yes , dr. westbourne . britt : can you check on my patient in 301 ? sabrina : of course . epiphany : uh , doctor , why do n't i go ? sabrina has to finish those files . sabrina : right . i should get back to that . patrick : thank you , sabrina . that song is perfect . britt : what song ? patrick : oh . `` firework . `` britt : oh , i love that song . you ca n't help but feel better after you listen to it . patrick : [ chuckles ] uh , britt , listen , um ... britt : yes ? patrick : okay . i 'm a little out of practice with this kind of thing , so , um ... basically , i guess , at some point , i have to dip my toe back -- back in the water . britt : that was elliptical . patrick : impressive . yeah , exactly . so ... if the offer is still there for dinner ... britt : are you accepting ? patrick : it 's a date . trey : i 'm sorry . i ... ca n't even talk right now . i do n't know what to say . kristina : then do n't say anything . it 's whatever you need . trey : i need you . kristina : that 's why i came over . i need you , too . ooh ! [ cell phone rings ] joe jr. : tracy . i ca n't tell you how happy i am to hear from you . tracy : look , uh , i 'm really busy at the moment . i 'm -- i have to go bury our cook . joe jr. : i 'm sure it 's a terrible loss . tracy : it 's not important . um ... i 'm willing to hear your side of the story . sonny : starr , you need to listen to me , okay ? you 're gon na need to be very careful around this man . starr : okay . i will . sonny : if he comes near you at all , you let michael know , okay ? and you ca n't let anyone know ... that we had this conversation . starr : do n't worry . i 'm good at keeping secrets . sonny : i appreciate that , but this is not just about privacy . because if this gets out ... a lot of people are gon na be hurt . connie : think about my proposal , huh ? johnny : your brilliant idea to stop sonny and kate 's wedding . connie : no , see , that 's our brilliant idea . and , johnny , come on ! it could work . and you know what ? we might have a lot of fun doing it . johnny : it 'll be a disaster . connie : oh , come on , now . how about the power of positive thinking ? you 're gon na have to start doing that because , either way , johnny , this is happening .

[ sighs ] morgan : whoa . all right . let 's not do anything we 're gon na regret . how did i screw you over ? ava : oh ! let 's see . i checked my credit card statement , and it was n't too hard to figure out who was responsible for the online gambling charges ! morgan : that . ava : yeah , that ! my card is almost completely maxed out ! i do n't even know how i 'm gon na pay for this party ! i might have to cancel the whole thing ! morgan : no , do n't do that ! okay , i can explain . ava : explain what -- how you took advantage of me , after everything i 've done for you ? keeping you safe in new york , giving you the money to pay for kiki 's engagement ring , not to mention keeping your dirty , little secret from my daughter . michael : kiki ? what are you doing here ? kiki : morgan and i spent the night . michael : why ? did something else happen to my dad ? kiki : no , no , no , no , no , no ! because i 'm not family , monica kicked me and morgan out of the boat house , so your dad gave us a place to stay . michael : okay , so , how -- how -- how is my dad doing ? kiki : as good as he can be , i guess . he 's ... really quiet . michael : well , yeah . he gets like that . um , i - is morgan with him ? kiki : no , morgan went to the metro court to help set up for the party . michael : what party ? kiki : my mom and your dad are throwing us a wedding party ? it 's like a reception after the wedding . michael : wait -- my dad 's throwing a party tonight . kiki : it was my mom 's idea . i 'm pretty sure she steam - rolled him into it . michael : i 'm not sure my dad 's really in the right place to party . kiki : no , i know ! it 's so -- [ sighs ] it 's just so like my mother to show no consideration for anyone outside her own agenda . and i told her that i was n't going to go , but then morgan talked me into it , and i even invited silas . michael : really . kiki : yeah . uh , i - i mean , it 's better to break the ice in a room full of people , right ? michael : that 's a pretty big step ! you sure you 're okay with that ? kiki : i think so . i 'm just surprised that my mom did n't invite you . michael : well , i 'm not . given what happened between us , she probably thought it was best that i was n't there . kiki : well , i do n't . i need you there . nikolas : i thought that you said that you would n't , uh -- could n't go back to sabrina and felix 's place . britt : yeah , well , obviously , they were n't very nice to me when i stayed there before . but , i mean , that had a lot to do with them being suspicious . i mean , they were basically watching my every move , trying to catch me . but there 's nothing to hide ! i mean , now patrick knows ben is n't his son , and i 'm not lying to their friend ! nikolas : right , right . but , see , that 's -- that 's my point . sabrina and felix only took you in because they thought ... that ben was patrick 's baby . so i 'm supposed to believe that -- that they just let bygones be bygones , and now they 're gon na let you stay at their place ?

[ sighs ] kiki : if you show up ... it 'll be like you 're giving me and morgan your blessing . so what do you say ? will you come ? morgan : hey . i made a mistake , okay ? but let 's not get carried away , because you go and cancel the party , then kiki 's gon na start asking a lot of questions . ava : well , maybe i should give her the answers . morgan : ava ! ava : maybe i should tell her the truth , and not just about your gambling ... but about everything . sam : [ sighs ] i mean , danny -- he looks good . i 'm not imagining that , right ? silas : danny has adjusted to the transplant better than most patients i 've seen . sam : wow . okay , so what are the chances i 'll be able to take him home , um , before he 's able to actually break out of his crib ? silas : well , i know he 's done so much work on his escape , i 'm almost willing to let him and see him pull that off . but , uh ... i do n't think it 's gon na come to that . i think danny will be going home very soon . sam : it is kind of a miracle , is n't it ? i mean , last week , i was n't sure if my son was gon na live , and now i 'm actually talking about taking him home . thank you . thank you so much , silas . silas : you 're welcome . sam : so ... what about your daughter ? last time we talked about kiki , you were at a standstill . have you made any progress ? silas : we spoke . sam : okay ... ? silas : well , she seemed somewhat open to the idea of getting to know me . she invited me to her wedding reception . sam : wow ! wow , that 's huge ! you must be really happy ! silas : i 'm a little nervous . sam : [ chuckles ] why ? silas : i want things to go well for her , you know ? and with ava being there , you just -- hey , look . i know it 's kind of last - minute , but how would you feel about going with me ? britt : i 'm not trying to get you to believe anything . i 'm telling you what 's going to happen . ben and i are going to stay with sabrina and felix . nikolas : if you say so . britt : i do . dr. westbourne ? the exam room is ready for the final check for you and your baby . britt : all right . let 's get to it , then . wait . one -- one second .

[ sighs ] taylor : so , what do you think ? shall we toast to operation maine squeeze ? rafe : mm , i do n't know , okay ? this could easily backfire against us . taylor : no risk , no reward ! if it can get us what we want , is n't it worth a try ? sabrina : you thinking about your mommy , sweetheart ? emma : [ sniffles ] when i was sick , she 'd always take care of me . mommy knew how to make me feel better . sabrina : [ sighs ] i 'm sure she did . i 'm sorry your mommy ca n't be here for you right now . but you know what ? she 's looking down on you from heaven , and she 's sending you all of her love . she always will be , okay ? emma : i want her here , though ! sabrina : i 'm here ! emma : it 's not the same . nikolas : felix ! i need to ask you a question . felix : go for it . nikolas : did you tell britt that , uh , her and her new baby could move back into your apartment ? felix : [ laughing ] oh ! oh ! oh , you 're serious . nikolas : yes , i am . felix : um , i do n't know where you heard that , but it would not be an understatement to say that , uh , i 'm ecstatic to have the britch out of my apartment and out of my life ... forever . um , i do n't actively wish her ill , especially now that she has a baby to take care of , but i would not have britt back in my house ... for -- i just would n't have her back .

franco : i had the best morning with carly . and i just -- i feel so loved , and appreciated , and i was such an idiot not to ever not trust her . i am never going to doubt carly again . nina : oh , god , franco . i 'm sorry . i have to tell you something . you 're not gon na like it . carly : i know that you gave me a gift the other day by not telling franco about sonny and me . i just want to make sure it stays that way . kiki : and it will , as long as you keep your distance from sonny . and that answers that . [ knock on door ] michael : come on in , doug ! i was just calling ... you . rosalie : uh , not doug . sorry . michael : no , you most certainly are n't . rosalie : um , i 'll take that as a compliment . michael : well , it 's nice to see you again , rosalie . what brings you here ? nina : so , did you get your freak on with michael and destroy kiki ? rosalie : i , uh , just thought i 'd stop by , check things out . carly : okay , hold on . whatever it is you 're thinking , you can stop because this is n't what it looks like . sonny : what does it look like , carly ? carly : you , me , here -- it 's not . sonny : i 'm sure all kiki sees is her boyfriend 's father patronizing a local restaurant . kiki : is that what i see ? sonny : as a matter of fact , why do n't you join me ? you can catch me up . i heard you and michael had a nice time with your mother the other night . kiki : yes , we did . she had us over to her place for dinner . sonny : that 's nice . how -- how -- how is your mother ? i do n't see her anymore . kiki : i have a feeling she prefers it that way . sonny : i do n't see why . i ca n't wait to have some face time with ava . you know what i mean ? clear the air , mend fences . kiki : yeah , i would try e - mail . i do n't think she 's coming down off of her perch anytime soon . sonny : maybe , maybe not . shawn : make sure you check your pieces and double - check them . if we 're going into enemy territory , we need to be prepared for anything . max : it 's finally happening . shawn : yeah , sonny gave the word . it happens today . one way or another , ava 's gon na get what 's coming to her . sabrina : gabriel , my son ... i hope you do n't think i 've forgotten about you because i 've been so busy . i 've been working hard so that i can make sure that the person who took you away gets what she deserves . and she will , gabriel . i promise . i 've already set it in motion . ava jerome will know pain like she 's never felt . ava : no more sabrina . no more false alarms . [ sighs ] and i 'm gon na take my medication to be sure of that . bottoms up . sabrina : ava and her baby will know exactly what you and i went through , gabriel . doctor : what happened to my patient ? sabrina : ms. jerome ? she left . doctor : well , i was gon na give her this prescription to help deal with the discomfort . sabrina : do n't worry . i can make sure she gets it . doctor : really ? sabrina : yeah . it 's no trouble at all . doctor : oh . thank you , nurse santiago . that 's very nice of you . sabrina : kindness had nothing to do with it . fritz : you need to back the hell off while you can still walk ! ava : what 's going on ? fritz : someone tried to get by us . ava : well , how far did they get ? fritz : we stopped him at the door . we think corinthos might have sent him to test our security . ava : is that right ? well ... i want to see him . who did you send , sonny ? shawn : we may never get a better chance to take ava . julian 's out of town , and security is n't as tight when he 's not around . and the silence from sonny 's end has them lulled into a false sense of security . we 'll be in and out with ava before they know we 're here . max : security 's one thing . what about ava ? what about her ? max : well , she may be preggers , but she 's no slouch , especially when she 's cornered . what if she 's got something up her sleeve in case of a situation like this ? ava : morgan ! michael : so , you just thought you 'd stop by , check out the renovations ? rosalie : mm . i love a good fixer - upper . michael : is that how you think of morgan ? rosalie : oh , that 's right . morgan lives here . michael : why , yes , he does . rosalie : [ chuckles ] that had totally slipped my mind . any chance your baby brother 's around ? michael : actually , you just missed him . rosalie : well ... so , you 're here all by your lonesome , huh ? michael : yeah . i had to stick around . i 'm waiting on the roofer . rosalie : doug , right ? michael : yeah . rosalie : any chance you know when morgan might be back ? michael : uh , no . he did n't say where he was going . he just had to take care of something . rosalie : hmm . maybe he 's with kiki . carly : okay . well , since you 're patronizing my local restaurant , i 'm gon na have the maitre d ' seat you . sonny : what 's the rush ? you trying to get rid of me ? carly : yeah . oh , yes . sonny : this one 's so pushy . carly : kiki and i were in the middle of something . sonny : well , i 'm sure it can wait when you hear what i 've got to tell you . i heard from olivia . dante tracked down lulu . carly : oh , my god . where were they ? sonny : look , all i know is they 're safe . lulu and that cop and the four of them are coming home . kiki : that 's great news ! carly : my mom and lucas are gon na be so relieved . sonny : i knew you 'd want me to tell you this in person , you know what i mean ? carly : yes . and now you have . so , you can go . sonny : i 'm thinking maybe i 'll stay . franco : so , what is it that you have to say that you do n't think i want to hear ? nina : i 'm sorry . franco : [ laughs ] okay . nina : okay ? well , i probably should n't even bring it up . it probably means nothing . but if the tables were turned ... franco : right . got it . no , it 's good . nina : it 's good ? franco : yeah , it 's good . look , if you do n't want to tell me , that 's fine . if whatever you have to say is so horrible that you do n't want me to hear it , that 's okay , too . nina : this is absolutely something you should know . franco : okay . well , then why do n't -- why do n't you say it ? nina : oh , i do n't want to hurt you . franco : okay . i appreciate that . nina : remember when i did n't tell you right away when i saw carly kissing her ex , and you were mad at me ? franco : yeah . can you blame me ? nina : no , i ca n't blame you because betrayal is very , very difficult . it hurts . franco : betrayal sucks . you know what ? come to think of it , it probably would have been better if you had not told me what you told me . nina : um ... all right . franco : well , 'cause it turns out that what you think you saw between sonny and carly -- that 's not what happened at all . what you saw was sonny making a pathetic and desperate pass at his ex - wife . carly told him to get lost , told him to stay away . nina : yeah , i - i - i know that that 's what carly told you . franco : and i did n't even put it all together until after i 'd made a complete fool out of myself . i completely freaked out at carly . i threw around all these accusations . i went storming around , looking for sonny . sonny was n't there . the only other person that was there that night was bobbie . nina : okay , but i 'm not sure if that 's entirely true . nina : okay . well , when you were ripping up carly 's room , i mean , what if sonny had been there ? franco : but he was n't . nina : what if he was ? franco : but he was n't . nina : what if he was ? franco : he was n't there . sonny was n't there . the only person that was there with carly was bobbie . it was bobbie and a box of pizza and two glasses of wine . nina : okay , but there was some confusion . even you said that yourself -- that your father said that he could n't confirm carly 's account of what happened , and it just seemed all vague and -- franco : scotty was just protecting bobbie 's honor because not everybody knows this , but bobbie -- she has a problem . she keeps putting food into her face . nina : well , what if that was a cover ? franco : a cover for -- yeah . no , you 're absolutely right , nina . that 's what it was . it was a cover - up . congratulations . you have uncovered pizzagate . what 's your point ? what are you trying to say to me ? nina : okay . rosalie heard something . you should hear it , too . michael : what makes you think morgan 's with kiki ? rosalie : oh , nothing . they just seem really close . you yourself said that they 're really good friends , did n't you ? michael : yeah , that 's right . i did . so , if they are together right now , you know , it 's fine by me . rosalie : um , i have to say i think your faith in them is very admirable , but , uh , i have to wonder . michael : well , wonder away . um , i 'll let morgan know you stopped by , and i apologize on his behalf for how long -- rosalie : would you , uh , feel any differently if you knew that morgan and kiki are keeping a secret from you ? sonny : when i walked in here , it just seemed like you and carly were , like , tension . carly : oh , god . kiki : i would n't exactly call it `` tension . `` sonny : and i know we put you in a difficult situation , and i appreciate your discretion . so does carly . kiki : i 'm sure you do . sonny : but she cares about franco , which i do n't understand why . carly : sonny . sonny : i mean , i accept it , but i know she does n't want to see him get hurt . kiki : i 'm willing to forget what happened provided that there is nothing going on now that i 'll need to forget in the future . sonny : unfortunately for me , there is n't . what happened between me and carly -- that 's in the past . kiki : okay . well , then there 's nothing to discuss . sonny : right . carly : i 'll see you later , right , for franco 's party ? kiki : yes , i will . carly : okay . okay . okay , so , that was the most uncomfortable conversation ever . sonny : i 'm sure if you think real hard , there 's probably worse . carly : what are you still doing here ? sonny : uh ... bye , kiki . kiki says she 's not gon na say anything . carly : yeah , presuming that we do n't give her a reason to . and we wo n't because we do n't need to be near each other . sonny : well , we have perfectly legitimate reasons why we have to be around each other . carly : no , we do n't . we do n't . sonny : well , we have kids together . carly : and we can visit them separately , like all the other divorced parents . sonny : yeah , that 's true , but there 's my plans with ava . carly : and you 're gon na call those `` legitimate `` ? sonny : well , there 's something you need to be aware of . um ... i 'm taking back ava ... today . shawn : if ava has any surprises , we 'll be forewarned . max : how so ? shawn : well , the jeromes do n't command the degree of loyalty that sonny does . their guys can be bought . max : we have somebody on the inside ? shawn : we do . so , if anything goes out of whack , we 'll know before they make their move . give your weapons a final check . it 's almost time to move out . ava : you can go back to your posts . can i get you anything ? morgan : yeah , a chiropractor , maybe . ava : [ chuckles ] so -- i 'm sorry . my men are paid to be cautious . a girl ca n't be too careful these days . morgan : of my dad ? 'cause your league of goombahs out there seem pretty concerned about him . ava : they have good reason . morgan : so , what 's your problem with my dad today ? ava : the kind i can handle . morgan : does it have anything to do with the real reason you were living with him , why you got out ? sabrina : this is no less than what ava deserves . she took away my baby . now i 'll take away hers . ava will lose what i lost . all it 'll take is one dose of the right medication . hey . could you fill out these prescriptions for me ? pharmacist : these ? there 's only one here for nifedipine . sabrina : oh , god . well , you know , the doctor gave me two . i just had it . hold on . oh , my god . oh , my god . it 's not here . pharmacist : i 'm sure the doctor will write you another . sabrina : no . no , no . you do n't understand . i already have two strikes with dr. obrecht . if she finds out that i misplaced a prescription -- pharmacist : obrecht ? why did n't you say so ? sabrina : what do you mean ? pharmacist : i mean do n't worry about it . i 've got you covered . sabrina : oh , my gosh . thank you so much . pharmacist : what 's the other script for ? sabrina : misoprostol . pharmacist : what 's the dosage ? how much do you need ? sabrina : just enough to induce premature labor . ava : i 'm not sure what you mean . morgan : my dad told me you saw -- witnessed -- something that he did . ava : he told you that ? morgan : yeah . he did n't say what it was . believe me -- i asked . ava : well , if you came here hoping that i would tell you , i wo n't . it 's a burden i will not have you bear . morgan : it 's that bad , huh ? ava : it 's that complicated . far more than sonny would lead you to believe . morgan : uh - huh . and this complicated thing ... is -- is what you 're holding over his head , right ? that 's why he made you stay with him , so he could keep an eye on you . it was n't because you -- ava : because we were involved ? morgan , sonny and i -- we do n't have those kinds of feelings for each other . we never did . we never will . i am sorry that our single unguarded moment led you to believe otherwise . morgan : well , that clears that up . ava : morgan ? is that all you came here for -- to clear the air ? or are you here because you 're wondering if maybe there 's still a chance for us ? michael : kiki and morgan are keeping a secret from me ? rosalie : as far as i know . michael : and you know this how ? rosalie : yesterday at kelly 's , when i went in to find them , i overheard kiki thanking morgan for helping her keep a secret from you . michael : kiki said this ? rosalie : yes . and i would n't have thought it was a big deal , but then i heard kiki say that the last thing that she wanted was for you to find out . michael : is there any way you can tell me what this big secret is about ? rosalie : uh , no . no . unfortunately , i just came in at the very last part of the conversation , and it 's not like i could ask them , `` hey , what 's the big secret you 're keeping from michael ? `` it was n't any of my business . michael : well , it is your business to tell me . rosalie : uh , yeah . i mean , if it was me , i would want to know . kiki : know what ? michael : the secret you and morgan are keeping from me . sonny : shawn has a plan to extract ava , and he 's gon na make it happen today . carly : sonny , ava has all kinds of security . you 're really gon na risk putting her and the baby in the middle of a gun battle in broad daylight ? sonny : i 've got it under control . i 'm gon na have her back by the end of the day . carly : okay . what about morgan ? how are you gon na explain to our son that ava 's moving back in with you ? sonny : okay , she 's not , and i 'm gon na find a place where i can stash her -- okay ? -- until the baby 's born . she -- she ca n't escape . morgan or anyone else will think that she just took off . carly : never to be seen again ? sonny : would that be a tragedy ? carly : no , but you 're still gon na have to explain how you got your hands on that baby . sonny : okay . we 'll work it out -- maybe say that she abandoned the baby . she would do that , right ? she 's heartless . carly : yeah . maybe it 's better to say that we tracked ava down and we convinced her the baby would be better off with us -- that she gave us the baby in the best interest of the child . what ? sonny : i just -- i like it when we 're on the same team . carly : conspiring about kidnapping and murder ? sonny : call me sentimental . carly : you said what you had to say . you need to go now . sonny : okay . i will . only if , uh -- carly : only if what ? sonny : you come with me . franco : who 's rosalie ? nina : my nurse . franco : you have a nurse named rosalie ? nina : mm - hmm . franco : and how does nurse rosalie know carly ? nina : no , she does n't know carly . she -- she was on a double date with , uh , kiki and the corinthos boys , and she overheard something . franco : well , there you have it , okay ? those two boys -- morgan and michael -- they both hate me . those two little boys suffer from the misconception that mommy and daddy will still love one another , okay ? you can pretty much ignore anything that they have to say ever , really . nina : well , it did n't come from them . it did n't come from the corinthos boys . it came from kiki , actually . franco : okay . what did kiki say ? nina : um ... the thing that rosalie overheard was kiki tell morgan that the last thing they needed was for you to find out ... that ... carly and sonny slept together . shawn : let 's do it . max : all right . [ cell phone chimes ] shawn : hold on . max : what 's up ? shawn : damn . word from our plant . morgan is up there . max : i thought ava and morgan were on the outs . shawn : no . he 's in there now , okay ? we ca n't make a move with him up there . max : so , what are we gon na do -- you want to call it off ? shawn : no . no . we may never get a better shot at getting ava . we 'll sit tight and wait for our opening . once we get word ... morgan is clear ... we make our move . max : all right . all quiet ? fritz : not a peep . ava : now that you know there 's nothing between me and your father -- no affection , certainly no future ... can you imagine one for me and you ? morgan : ava , i -- ava : it 's -- it 's okay . you do n't have to say it . morgan : i just -- i do n't think there 's any going back for us . ava : that 's ... fair . morgan : okay ? but -- but there may be a way to go forward for me and the baby . ava : do you think so ? morgan : i 'm still figuring it out , but i - i 've had some time , so i 've been thinking , you know , what good is it gon na do anyone for me to cut myself out of the baby 's life ? ava : this baby would be very lucky to have you in its life , if that 's what you want . morgan : we do n't even know if the kid is mine or not . but ... if it is , i should be involved . i mean , i do n't just want to be some dad that takes the backseat or just some deadbeat . ava : that is quite a 180 . i 'm impressed . morgan : [ chuckles ] that 's all kiki . i went off on her about it yesterday , and she set me straight . ava : well , then i will have to thank her , then . i 'm very glad that you want to play a role . morgan : if the baby 's mine . i do n't want to get all into dad mode if i 'm not the father , ava . ava : understandable . morgan : and there 's only one way to make sure . so , will you please consider having a paternity test ? franco : stop . nina : this is the truth . i am telling you the truth ! franco : no , this is nonsense . this is just nonsense . that 's what this is -- nonsense -- 'cause ... this is not -- this is you paying me back for sticking my nose into your relationship with silas . nina : no , i 'm not . no , i 'm not . i 'm not doing that . you -- you -- you talked to me about silas because you were being my friend , just like i 'm being your friend right now . franco : this is how you 're my friend ? ! this is how you 're my friend ? ! you 're gon na tell me that my girlfriend 's cheating on me ? that 's very friendly ! nina : yes ! yes ! 'cause it 's the truth ! and i know betrayal is painful . i understand because i went through it with silas . but i am telling you the truth . franco : rosalie did n't hear it right . she misunderstood what -- what kiki was saying . nina : okay , well , then you talk to kiki yourself . go to the source . kiki : a secret ? geez . well , i have a million secrets , so you 're gon na have to help me out a little bit . which one ? what are you two doing here anyway ? michael : i am waiting for the roofer , and rosalie stopped by to see morgan . kiki : and had a revealing conversation with my boyfriend in the meantime . michael : rosalie said that she overheard you and morgan talking about something you were keeping from me . kiki : i see . so , is eavesdropping something you do regularly or just on double dates ? rosalie : um , if you want privacy , get a room . anyone could have overheard you in the middle of that diner . kiki : anyone who was trying to listen . michael : okay . hey , i 'm sure it 's not a big deal , because there 's nothing to this , right ? kiki : 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 . the last thing anyone needs is for franco to find out that sonny and carly slept together . kiki : actually , there is something to it . michael : what ? kiki : well , i was telling morgan all about my plans to celebrate our one - year anniversary . michael : so , that 's what it was about ? you were planning something for us ? kiki : yeah , i was planning a big surprise , a big anniversary surprise , but now it 's not a surprise , because you ruined it , so thank you for that , rosalie . carly : what are you talking about , where are you going , and why would i come with you ? sonny : well , dante and lulu are coming home . that deserves a celebration . let 's go to my -- the office and we 'll talk about it . carly : [ chuckling ] yeah . i 'm not going down that road again . nope . i have to get ready for franco 's party . sonny : oh . is it like a bon voyage party , see you later , alligator ? carly : it 's his birthday party . sonny : oh , a day of mourning . wow . carly : actually , it is . it 's not just franco 's birthday . it 's jason 's birthday , too . sabrina : once the misoprostol was in my hands , all that was left to do was to get it into ava 's . sabrina : thanks . i owe you one . anything to put one over on the chief . sabrina : these are for you . you left so fast last night , the doctor was n't able to give your prescription . it 's for the cramping . ava : safe for the baby ? sabrina : not at this early stage . but by the time you realize that , ava , it 'll be too late . and too late should be any minute now . ava : i 'm sorry that you 've been left hanging for so long . you do deserve to know whether this baby is yours or not . morgan : but ... ? ava : i just ca n't justify a paternity test right now . i do n't want to undergo any invasive procedures unless they 're absolutely medically necessary . it 's risky -- too risky -- especially after what happened last night . morgan : whoa . what are you talking about ? ava : i had some pain and went to the hospital . well , do n't be so alarmed . it 's okay . it was just , uh , some cramping . morgan : how bad ? ava : bad enough . morgan : well , you must have been terrified . ava : it was pretty scary . morgan : okay . well , i 'm sorry that i was n't here to help you . ava : it 's okay . it 's fine . i got some medication . but , morgan ... i 'm not gon na take any chances with this baby . morgan : no . i get it . ava : for what it 's worth ... i hope this baby is yours . then at least we 'll know that something good came of us and not just ... insanity , pain . but even if he or she is n't your baby , it 'll still be your flesh and blood -- your brother or sister , your family . morgan : i know . ava : what i 'm saying is , no matter what , you 're allowed to care for this baby , to be a part of its coming into the world , its life . i just -- i hope that my mistake wo n't make you stop loving this baby the way it made you stop loving me . rosalie : i am so sorry . i did n't have all the facts , and i should n't have spoken out of turn . kiki : yet here we are . rosalie : again , i apologize . i certainly was n't trying to make any trouble . kiki : well , then what were you trying to do ? rosalie : you know , i must have misheard you . it really seemed like something was going on , and i thought michael ought to know . kiki : that 's very protective of you . but like i said , the only thing that was going on was an anniversary surprise , which is now not a surprise . rosalie : well , he still does n't know what the surprise is . kiki : but he knows that there was going to be a surprise , so it kind of takes the fun out of it . rosalie : i 'm sure you 'll think of something to make it special . kiki : yeah , i 'll have to , wo n't i ? rosalie : again , i apologize . goodbye , michael . i will catch up with morgan later . kiki ... it was so great to see you again . kiki : ooh , it is official -- i do not like her ! michael : she 's not that bad . kiki : you did not just say that right now . michael : i 'm -- i 'm say -- she meant well . kiki : what gave you that impression -- the fake apology or the bitch face ? i mean , she barely even knows you , and she comes in here telling you that morgan and i are keeping something from you ? and then she has the nerve to say that she was n't trying to cause any trouble ? michael : okay . kiki : are you ki -- michael : rosalie ca n't cause any trouble because there 's no trouble to make , right ? kiki : right . nina : you trust kiki to tell you the truth , right ? franco : yeah , i do . nina : well , then you should talk to her and ask her what she knows , and she 'll either confirm what rosalie said or she 'll just tell you it 's untrue , but kiki wo n't lie to you , right ? franco : you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na not do that . i 'm not . i 'm not gon na go question kiki . i 'm not gon na be a victim of my own paranoia ever again . that 's the old me . the new me is evolved . nina : uh , what does that mean ? franco : it just means i 'm gon na drop it . nina : oh . franco : i am . i 'm gon na try and drop it . nina : okay . franco : 'cause you know what ? carly and i -- we 're doing great . she 's having a birthday party for me today . nina : it 's your birthday ? i 'm sorry . happy birthday . franco : it 's okay . no , you would have known if you 'd responded to my friend request . nina : i do n't know what that means . franco : how 'bout it ? nina , will you come to my birthday party ? nina : oh . um ... that would be so great . um ... but i - i ca n't because i have plans with silas . franco : yeah . babymaking stuff , huh ? nina : yeah . we 're gon na do it . franco : okay . that 's great . i 'm so hopeful for you guys . nina : thank you . franco : i 'm hoping it 's eventful and -- right . nina : hey , you know what ? if you need to talk to somebody , i 'm here . you know i 'm here . franco : i 'm not gon na need to talk . everything 's fine . everything 's fine . sonny : i ca n't believe i forgot . carly : jason hated his birthday . he 'd be glad that you forgot . sonny : almost two years . i just -- seems like yesterday , you know ? i can see his face . carly : sometimes i 'll watch michael , and , uh , he 'll say something or make a gesture or just be standing a certain way , and it reminds me of a conversation he had with jason and they did n't know that i was watching . sonny : i see it , too , a lot . carly : i know that we have the memories , you know . it 's just sometimes they 're not good enough . sometimes i want my best friend . sonny ... sonny : hey , you know what ? if i ca n't comfort you about jason , who can ? ava : thanks for coming . it was so good to see you . morgan : take care of yourself and your baby . [ cell phone chimes ] shawn : we got the green light . morgan 's gone . let 's go get ava . max : all right . sabrina : this candle is for ava 's baby . i 'm sorry it 's come to this , but it 's the only way to make ava pay . i do n't want to sacrifice her baby . i do n't want it to feel pain or never know a mother 's love . i know that it 's innocent . but so was gabriel . i 'm sorry , my son , but i had to do this . you deserve retribution . and so does ava . ava : oh , baby . mama 's got problems . but they 're not your problems , so do n't let them trouble you . i will deal with sonny . morgan will come around . you 'll see . everything will be just fine . nina : wow ! look at you ! what are you doing here ? you 're supposed to be breaking michael 's back . rosalie : yeah , that is not gon na happen anytime soon , if it happens at all . nina : oh , rosalie . i thought i made myself perfectly clear . rosalie : but i did , however , inflict a little bit of damage on his relationship with his bitchy girlfriend , kiki . nina : a little damage ? okay . i 'm listening . rosalie : yeah . kiki just told michael a bald - faced lie directly to his face . michael : so , now that rosalie 's gone , how was breakfast with your dad ? kiki : it was very nice , actually . i ran in to your mom , and she is throwing franco a birthday party tonight . michael : of course she is . kiki : i know he 's not your favorite person , and i kind of know what your answer 's gon na be , but i still want to ask you , do you want to go with me ? michael : do i want to ? no . absolutely not . kiki : okay . i 'm sorry . i should n't have asked . michael : but ... [ sighs ] i can suck it up . kiki : really ? michael : how can i say no to the girl who 's planning our big anniversary surprise ? rosalie : i cornered kiki into admitting that she was hiding something from michael , and then she makes up this thing about how it 's this lame anniversary thing that she 's doing for him . nina : anniversary ? they 've been together a year . rosalie : i mean , he might have bad taste , but he 's not stupid . he 's gon na figure it out sooner or later . nina : that duplicitous -- listen . what 's with all the women in this town ? they 're all liars . rosalie : yeah . must be in the water they 're drinking . nina : not the water i 'm drinking . i told franco about carly and sonny . rosalie : was he devastated ? nina : he does n't want to believe it . rosalie : what is there not to believe ? i heard it directly out of kiki 's mouth . nina : i know you did . we know it 's true . and i think deep down , franco knows it 's true , too . carly : thank you . sonny : you okay ? carly : yeah . yeah . i have to pull myself together before franco 's coming . sonny : well , you could just leave him . i mean , we belong together . carly : sonny . sonny : no , no . it 's not in the cards . carly : i just told you . sonny : yeah , you do n't want to go down that road and you said that -- carly : it always ends badly and painfully , and i do n't want to go through it again . i do n't want to put you through it . i love you too much to see you hurt like that . sonny : it 's nice to hear you say those words . carly : as though i had to . i really wish you 'd , you know , let it go . let 's keep things the way they are , you know ? everything seems to be really good between us and things are good between me and franco , and i do n't want that changing right now . sonny : if that 's what you want , then that 's -- that 's what you 're gon na get . all right ? that 's what you 're gon na get . all right ? [ next_on ] carly : ( to franco ) what does nina think she knows about me ? anna : ( to duke ) there 's something i 've got ta tell you . lucy : ( with bobbie , to scotty ) you can not have both of us ! shawn : let 's go get ava . ava : everything will be just fine . sam : ( to sonny ) do you think luke was helping the jeromes bring down your organization ? robin : we 're almost home . ( in the car , next to jason , whose face we still do n't see ) .

[ sighs ] i really do want to ask you , as the bridegroom , um , you must have some opinions about this wedding . you know , it 's not fair to have maxie make all the decisions . nathan : i think maxie likes making all the wedding decisions , and ... nina : okay , well , you have -- - nathan : ... kind of all the other kinds of decisions , too . [ chuckles ] nina : all right . well , you must have some idea of where you want to get married . nathan : nina , look -- nina : no ? nathan : no . nina : come on , j , just pick one . just pick one . just -- nathan : all right , all right , all right . here 's something . why do you have this ?

[ laughing ] spinelli : uh , two -- two birds with one stone . maxie : okay . what 's your other bird ? spinelli : right . so , when you informed me that the good detective had a previous marriage , i started -- i started digging into claudette 's past , right ? maxie : uh , right . uh , about that , i am very sorry . um ... i 've not kept you in the loop . spinelli : okay . well , by all means ... maxie : oh , spinelli , it 's huge . like , i found out my fiancé 's ex - wife cheated on him ... with a priest . spinelli : wait . a man of the cloth , you say ? one who had presumably taken vows of chastity ? how scandalous . maxie : i know . every time i say it , it sounds crazier , but it 's definitely true , so i appreciate your outrage on my behalf , but it 's not necessary . spinelli : safeguarding your happiness and emotional wellbeing is ... never a hardship . maxie : that 's really sweet . but now that it 's all out in the open , you do n't have to be concerned . spinelli : well , be that as it may , i ... still think you 'll want to hear what i found out about claudette . maxie : why ? what did you find out ? [ scene_break ] claudette : did i just hear you right ? you want to help me ? griffin : i would like to try , if you 'll let me . claudette : tell you what . i 'll let you in on my so - called agenda if you admit that you have a god complex . griffin : [ chuckles ] i do n't think i 'm god . i just -- i want to help people . claudette : no , you want to save people . there 's a difference . is that what you were trying to do with me all those years ago ? save me ? griffin : we 're ta -- we 're talking about now , claudette . claudette : i know . i know . okay . i - i 'll let you help me or save me or whatever ... but the only way that you can do it ... is if you tell me there 's a chance for us .

[ scene_break ] scott : your honor , let 's get back to the night in question . you testified that you had a fight with the defendant . did he hurt you in any way ? sonny : well , he kind of messed up my -- i had a new sport jacket , but i fixed it . scott : and what about ms. davis ? when the altercation with the defendant was over , and you had stabbed him , was ms. davis injured in any way ? sonny : she was in shock . she could barely speak . and i saw that she had , like , a , um ... a little scar right here from where the knife got her . scott : did she have to be hospitalized for that ? sonny : no , but thank god that i stopped julian in time , 'cause he would 've slit her throat . scott : but he went to the hospital . sonny : yeah . scott : so , the night in question on the pier , the only one that was seriously injured is the man that is on trial today . paul : objection ! leading and inflammatory . judge lasser : sustained . scott : no further questions . judge lasser : the witness may step down . the people may call their next witness . paul : the people call sabrina santiago . judge lasser : da hornsby , where is your witness ? paul : i - i 'm sorry , your honor . i - i - i do n't know . carly : your honor , sabrina santiago is dead . [ spectators murmur ] carly : your honor , sabrina santiago was murdered earlier today at general hospital . paul : your honor , uh , i need a moment . judge lasser : of course . [ gavel bangs ] we 'll take a brief recess . sonny : how 's michael ? carly : he 's not good , sonny . he was there when they found her . he told me what happened , and then he took off . sonny : all right , let 's go find him . alexis : you need to recall me to the stand . paul : absolutely not . alexis : no , you -- you -- you need to recall me . in case you have n't noticed , we 're losing , and i understand that that 's partially my fault , but i feel better now , and i need to get back up there and set the record . paul : and put the final nail in my case and let your husband go free . sam : julian tried to kill her . the last thing she wants to see is him go free . paul : i wish i could believe that . judge lasser : da hornsby , do the people need more time ? paul : no , your honor , uh , that wo n't be necessary . i 'm ready to resume . judge lasser : proceed . paul : the people call sabrina santiago . [ scene_break ] michael : so , what , this is a chance meeting ? nelle : i mean , kind of , sort of . your mom did mention that there was a park that you and sabrina took the baby to near the hotel . michael : yeah . yeah , sabrina loved bringing teddy here . [ breathes deeply ] whenever it was n't raining , you know . and whenever it was raining , she 'd , uh ... she 'd , uh -- she 'd put him in this cute little raincoat , and ... and he looked just like paddington the bear . nelle : i love paddington . michael : and i 'd come home late at work , and she 'd tell me how he -- how he played in the sandbox or met a friendly dog or he ... he chatted it up with some other baby , and they just ... they talked baby with each other . and her face would just light up . she was an awesome mother . nelle : yeah . she certainly sounds like she was . michael : [ sniffles ] so , why 'd you track me down ? nelle : i just really wanted you to know that your mom really does feel terrible . michael : yeah . you said that . nelle : look , before you showed up , she was telling me how bad she felt , and that she wished she could take everything back . you know ? but she ca n't . and now all she wants to do is take your pain away . you know ? just like i 'm sure you want to do for this little guy .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : there 's a clear record of claudette 's activities from when she was a child until she married nathan . right , right , right . school awards , graduation photos , even -- even a wedding announcement . maxie : i hope you realize you could 've found out all this information by friending her on facebook . spinelli : actually ... more on that later . you see , what i was more concerned with was what claudette beaulieu , aka cj boland , had done after splitting up with nathan . maxie : what did she do , rob a bank ? [ gasps ] internet porn . spinelli : oh , ' fraid not . maxie : oh ! okay . well , then what did you find out ? spinelli : nothing . [ scene_break ] griffin : claudette , you know that we ca n't be together . claudette : why ? what are you so afraid of ? griffin : i 'm afraid of the pain we cause everyone , including ourselves . what happened between us was a disaster . i want nothing more than to move on from the entire situation . claudette : and that means move on from me . leave me in your rearview mirror again . griffin : claudette , we meant something to each other , once , a long time ago . if you still have feelings for me , i ask that you honor my request and leave nathan and maxie alone . [ scene_break ] paul : your honor , ms. santiago was deposed prior to trial . all of her pertinent testimony is available . scott : objection , your honor . judge lasser : may i remind you , mr. baldwin , that occasions like this are one of the reasons we have depositions in the first place . scott : yes , your honor , but with all due respect , how am i supposed to cross- examine a document ? i must ask the court to disallow this deposition . judge lasser : well , i must agree . ms. santiago 's deposition can not be entered into the record . the district attorney may call your next witness . paul : uh , thank you , your honor , but , uh ... we have no more witnesses . the people rest . judge lasser : all right . mr. baldwin , you may call your first witness . scott : your honor , we wo n't be calling any witnesses . the defense rests . paul : ladies and gentlemen of the jury , here are the undisputed facts ... on july 4 , 2016 , mr. jerome 's wife , alexis davis , was wearing a wire . she was wearing it with the intent of recording a confession by mr. jerome of murdering carlos rivera and of ordering a murder on duke lavery . we know that the police monitoring her lost contact with her . and that she and mr. jerome were missing from their home . we also know that mr. jerome ended up down on the pier , holding a dagger to his wife 's throat , a dagger that had been taken from the evidence locker that very night , a dagger that had carlos rivera 's blood on it . we have the dagger , we have the evidence bag that it was in with mr. jerome 's prints on it . we have the testimony of ms. davis and mr. corinthos , corroborating the events of that night . the facts all add up . julian jerome is guilty . judge lasser : mr. baldwin ? scott : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] nina : no , nathan , i 'm not trying to illegally buy a baby , ' kay ? nathan : okay , nina . will you at least tell me what i want to hear ? nina : oh , are you seriously putting stock in what ava jerome said ? she hates me , you know . nathan : look , ordinarily i would take anything that ava says with a grain of salt . nina : but not this time . you 're not gon na take it this time , right ? okay . nathan : no , but no -- but i know how badly you want to have a child . nina : yes , i want to have a child ! but it did n't work . nothing worked out . i did n't come close . it 's not gon na happen . nathan : does that mean you 've given up on trying to be a mother ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you found ... spinelli : nothing . maxie : this is great news . spinelli : it is ? maxie : yes , of course , it is ! this means in the years since claudette has been out of nathan 's life , she 's not been up to anything heinous or nasty or insanely wrong . spinelli : uh , well ... maxie : for all we know , she 's been at home crocheting cats onto pillows . but she 's not been doing anything evil . spinelli : yeah , actually , w -- w -- we do n't know that at all . maxie : well , that depends on how you feel about cats on pillows . but is n't no news supposed to be good news ? and we have no news ! spinelli : y -- no , correct . with all my cyber skills , i found nothing ... at all . maxie : she 's not into social media . spinelli : no , but , yeah , yeah -- even if that were the case , okay , i -- in this day and age , maintaining a zero presence online is nearly impossible . i -- if a friend had tagged a photo of her , if she 'd , uh , uh , liked a youtube clip or followed someone on twitter , there would be some record of it . but there 's nothing . maxie : this is bad . spinelli : [ sighs ] maxie : and , um , how would this be possible ? spinelli : right . so this means that someone deliberately and thoroughly erased claudette from the internet . maxie : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] griffin : whatever brought you to port charles , claudette , let it go . or -- or better yet , leave town . claudette : i see . you 're trying to get rid of me . griffin : whatever you 're hiding , it 's gon na come out , and at the worst possible time , leaving lasting consequences . [ cell phone beeps ] griffin : [ sighs ] claudette : another damsel in distress ? griffin : it 's the hospital . they 're calling an emergency meeting in an hour . claudette : what about ? griffin : i assume it has to do with the hospital killings . claudette : looks like more people need saving after all . griffin : you know , i do n't think you 're a bad person , claudette . prove me right . tell nathan and maxie what 's going on or go home . claudette : i 'll take it under advisement . [ scene_break ] michael : his mother 's gone , you know . i - i -- how can i ever make that better ? nelle : i mean , you 're right . teddy 's loss is unimaginable . but as someone who did n't have the greatest parents , i can tell you that teddy 's still incredibly lucky to have had sabrina during the time he did . michael : [ sniffling ] you , um ... [ sighs ] do you mind just giving me a minute ? nelle : not at all . michael : hey , teddy . [ sniffles ] you know who your mom is , right ? you know her smile , you know her voice , the way her arms feel around you . now , as time passes those memories will fade . and you 'll -- you 'll stop looking for her . you 'll stop listening for her . but i want you to know that in your dreams ... ... in your dreams , she 'll come back to you . and , you know , and those feelings she gave you , those feelings of [ sniffles ] of being loved and -- and -- and feeling safe , those will always be with you . your mother will always be with you . because love [ sniffles ] love does n't die . and your mother loved you more than anything . [ scene_break ] scott : hello , folks . uh , you have n't heard much from me in this trial , because i did n't mount a defense . i did n't think i had to . the prosecution has nothing -- circumstantial at best and embarrassing at worst . ms. davis ' testimony -- she contradicted herself over and over and over again . i mean , the only thing that she could remember is that anything that her husband did , he did for love . hard evidence -- what do we got ? my client 's fingerprints were on a bag . are we really gon na send a man to jail for touching a plastic bag ? this is america , and you are innocent until proven guilty . the prosecution -- nothing . they 've got nothing . i trust in you , the jury , to find my client julian jerome not guilty . [ scene_break ] nina : yes , i 've given up on actively trying to have a baby . my god . i 've never said that before . [ sighs ] i surrender . nathan : i 'm sorry , okay ? you know , it -- it 'll probably save you a ton of heartache down the road . nina : okay , okay , okay . i said i 've given up on actively trying to have a baby . but if one just ends up on my doorstep , i 'm not giving it back . nathan : okay , but if one does , then you 're gon na contact all the proper authorities -- nina : okay , okay , okay , okay ! nathan , listen , i got it . i -- i 'm not gon na try to buy any infants , okay ? nathan : okay , okay . nina : okay ? do n't worry about me . do n't worry about me . the only thing you should be worried about is getting married . [ scene_break ] maxie : so , claudette was erased from the internet . spinelli : yeah . maxie : who would do that , and why ? spinelli : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm looking into it , trying to find any digital trace of her . but without knowing where to start , it could take time . maxie : okay , maybe nathan could help you . spinelli : i was hoping we could keep this investigation between the two of us ? maxie : spinelli ! he and i are n't supposed to be keeping secrets from each other anymore ! spinelli : okay . well , but perhaps you 'd reconsider , just given -- give my tenuous history with your fiancé , i just ca n't imagine that the good detective would be altogether thrilled with my investigating his former spouse . maxie : [ groans ] nathan , guess what ? spinelli has been investigating claudette . nathan : you have ? spinelli : [ groans ] i have n't not been . maxie : and you will not believe what he found -- or rather did n't find . in the years , since , uh , you and claudette got a divorce , and she came into town , there 's no trace of her on the internet , at all . nathan : wait , how is that even possible ? maxie : that means somebody erased her . i mean , clearly she 's trying to hide something , or trying to hide everything . nathan : okay , look , i have to go back to work , like , right now . no , i -- we will talk about this at home . please can we talk about this at home ? i 'll see you . [ cell phone rings ] nathan : west . claudette : nathan , it 's me . no , no , do n't -- do n't hang up . [ sighs ] there 's something that i need to tell you . [ scene_break ] carly : nelle , thank you . thank you so much for texting me . i was so worried about michael being alone . i 'm so glad that he had you to talk to . nelle : of course . you know , i mean , i encouraged him to cut you some slack ... carly : [ chuckles ] nelle : ... but he 's stubborn . carly : i wonder where he gets that from . [ chuckles ] nelle : mm . carly : it 's okay . he 'll come around . sooner or later , he always does . oh , believe me , he 's been a lot angrier at me about things that were even worse . and the person he needs the most will be with him soon . [ scene_break ] michael : i know you 're gon na miss her so much . and i 'm gon na miss her so much . sonny : hey , you all right ? michael : she 's gone , dad . [ scene_break ] judge lasser : you 've heard both sides present their cases . now the fate of julian jerome rests in your hands . i trust you to discharge your duty with care and to render an appropriate verdict . thank you . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise . julian : [ sighs ] scott : [ clears throat ] julian : so , how do you think that went ? scott : well , i do n't want to jinx anything , but i think hornsby should be quaking in his wing tips . julian : sam , i -- sam : [ slaps julian ] you disgust me . i hope you spend every day for the rest of your life wondering who 's gon na hold a dagger to your throat . let 's go home . alexis : he 's gon na walk , is n't he ? sam : i think the jury will see him for who he is . alexis : not after today , they wo n't . sam : mom , i have faith that one way or another , you will get the justice you deserve . alexis : is -- this -- this as -- as big of a disaster as i think it is ? paul : [ sighs ] it 's in the jury 's hands now . [ next_on ] claudette ( to nathan ) : i 'm in trouble . you 're the only one that can help . paul ( to dillon ) : i 've done a very bad thing . griffin ( to scott ) : did you just say julian jerome will be acquitted ? olivia ( to alexis ) : your actions in court today may very well set julian free . ava ( to julian ) : you will owe me big . carly ( to sonny ) : you promised me the killing stops now .

in the courtroom , everyone including alexis herself wonder what has happened to her as she has been called to the witness stand yet is `` incapable `` of focusing , speaking or testifying against julian and almost collapses when she steps down from the witness stand . right then , julian catches her before she falls and appears to be genuinely concerned about her although nobody cares about him except for scott , and only in a attorney / client capacity . observing and knowing the jury is also observing julian 's `` concerned husband action `` , he encourages his client to know that was very positive for their case and the jury will `` eat it up `` . paul knows the only witness he has left to help his case is sonny . although he tells sonny he 's afraid that given sonny 's criminal record , the defense could use that to discredit him , sonny states he 's not afraid of that and reminds paul he 's the only witness who saw julian attempt to slit alexis ' throat . paul also realizes that he 'd previously subpoena 's sabrina to testify against the man who killed her baby 's father . yet , since paul has just murdered her , he 's out of luck with that witness . at that point , he urges the judge and jury to find julian guilty as scott urges them to realize his client has constitutional rights to the presumption of innocence with the insufficient evidence the prosecution has against him . the entire verdict hangs in limbo with nobody knowing what will happen to julian . after sabrina has died , carly attempts to reach out to michael but he is furious with his mom for discouraging his commitment to sabrina and demands she leaves him alone . nelle witnesses the interaction and wants to help yet carly realizes her son needs time and she can not push him . claudette talks to griffin about his `` god complex `` and need to save everyone yet he wants to know about her hidden agenda with maxie and nathan . meanwhile , as maxie and nathan plan their wedding with nina , spinelli comes by and informs maxie that he has been investigating claudette but very oddly came up with zero history of her online . he states that is not `` normal `` and can only mean that something or someone has erased all of claudette 's history from all databases . maxie informs nathan of this . yet everyone still wonders what is up with claudette and what her plan entails .

[ scene_break ] franco : later , pops . scott : where you going ? franco : i got to find betsy . she promised me that she would meet me here and tell me what was going on in that photograph -- whether it was jason or somebody else . and she 's gone . she 's checked out . she 's disappeared . what does that tell you ? scott : it tells me that you should quit while you 're ahead . let it go . hey . let her go . franco : i ca n't .

[ chuckling ] it 's so hard to tell in this place . everybody 's so tight - lipped about everything . especially about you . [ scene_break ] lulu : um , why do you have to call your papa ? charlotte : to ask about my friend bailey , from dance class . i think she 's sick . lulu : well , why would you say that ? charlotte : i heard our teacher ask bailey 's mom to check for scololosis . lulu : scololosis ? charlotte : it 's when you ca n't make your shoulders level . lulu : scoliosis . charlotte : yes ! lulu : that ! charlotte : papa told me that he used to have it , and he got better . so maybe he can help bailey . [ scene_break ] nina : so , do you have any word on how ava is doing ? valentin : i know she made it to the clinic . that 's about the extent of it . nina : mm . i still do n't completely understand why you 're helping her . valentin : because i 'm a nice person . no , you know why i 'm doing it . 'cause i want to make sure that ... charlotte comes back to me . nina : yeah , but it 's ava 's statement against yours , and she does n't have any evidence to back up that you killed nikolas . valentin : well , there 's one fly in the ointment . nina : spencer ? valentin : spencer cassadine . say , by some stretch of the imagination , he wins his civil suit . nina : that 's highly unlikely . valentin : no , i think you underestimate how sympathetic he 's gon na be . little orphaned boy missing his father , sitting in a courtroom listening to ava 's sad tale . [ door closes ] valentin : there 's a small chance it could sway the jury . [ sighs ] and if he wins the civil suit , then dante and lulu 's lawyer will jump on that and say that there 's new `` proof `` that i 'm involved in nikolas ' death . nina : seems like a lot of work to go through for just , you know , a simple plan . valentin : you know , i have had to fight for charlotte ever since day one . since i had to steal the embryo from helena . nina : well , it 's not stealing if it 's yours . valentin : i 'll do whatever i have to do for charlotte . i mean , if there is the slightest risk that needs to be eliminated , i will eliminate it . nina : sounds -- sounds cold . valentin : oh , i 'm sorry . i do n't want to be cold . let 's just say i 'm a believer that if there 's a small problem , you do n't let it become a big problem . nina : the only small problem i have is that i do n't have enough champagne right now . valentin : [ gasps ] the horror . [ doorbell rings ] nina : what 's that ? it 's late for visitors . valentin : i do n't know , but i will definitely send them away , and then we can resume our celebration . [ scene_break ] ava : why am i trusting these people ? for all i know , that story about you being shot and falling into the water is just that -- a story . you could be here for surgery , just like me . this could be the result . oh , god . please say that 's not the case , because it 's true that i do n't like looking in the mirror these days , but i 'll take it over being a vegetable . uh , not that ... i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . it 's just ... ... there 's something about this place . it gives me the creeps . for all the luxurious appointments and smiling staff ... it feels like a prison . [ scene_break ] franco : look at this . scott : i 've seen this picture . franco : yeah , but look again , okay ? 'cause it 's one thing to have an imaginary friend and then convince yourself that it 's your long - lost twin . it 's another thing entirely to have actual proof , to have actual real - world basis for an obsession . scott : proof ? ! this is n't proof . franco : jason and i are together in that photograph . not only that -- we are dressed the same . scott : so ? franco : `` so ? `` that 's not random , okay ? that 's not -- that 's not some weird coincidence . scott : you know what ? maybe it was baseball - shirt day at the playground . who knows ? ! franco : i know . i 've seen photographs of jason -- other photographs at that same age . scott : i admit that it 's uncanny , his resemblance to jason . but i was jason 's guardian for a hot second . i have known jason his entire life . and i 'm telling you this -- and you better get it through your head -- jason spent his entire childhood here in port charles . this kid is not jason . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : we decided to schmooze separately so we can cover more ground . are you sure you did n't see franco anywhere ? felix : mnh - mnh . franco 's the kind of guy who stands out -- even if he does n't mean to . andré : maybe he just took a bathroom break . elizabeth : yeah . maybe . felix : this one 's cool . elizabeth : oh , yeah . this one -- this is my favorite . and franco 's , too . andré : representational with a touch of surrealism . especially in the clouds . felix : like i said : `` cool . `` elizabeth : dr. maddox , i did n't know you were a connoisseur . andré : i dabble . but this image is unique . i mean , franco 's other work is undeniably powerful , but this painting ... even though the boys are separated by the mirror effect -- a visual barrier between their worlds -- it still feels ... hopeful . elizabeth : that 's exactly what i told franco . [ chuckles ] woman : how dare you celebrate this monster and his `` art `` ? people died for this garbage . including my sister . and you 're just gon na stand here and applaud it ? elizabeth : i - i 'm [ sighs ] look , i 'm so sorry for your loss . woman : yeah . like the courts were ? $ 1 million . can you believe that ? like that 's what my sister 's life was worth . well , guess what . some things are priceless . some things , no matter how much you throw at it , money just ca n't fix . [ scream ] [ scene_break ] carly : wow , it 's surreal , is n't it ? waiting for transfer to a long - term facility ... just like going back in time . sonny : michael ? carly : yeah . [ monitor beeping ] carly : jason was incredible . remember ? he was our rock . sonny : always . carly : it 's just so different now . i mean , not that we ca n't count on him . obviously , we can , you know , or he would n't be here , but just before that night on the pier , you know , before he vanished and came back ... ... you know , jason was always there , even before you knew you needed him . [ chuckles ] sonny : it 's an instinct . carly : yeah . but since he -- since he 's come back , it 's ... sonny : remember , after he was shot , i told you i did n't think he was gon na show up at the warehouse ? i thought we 'd got past that . that 's -- that 's the difference , right there . jason has a choice now . before , he did n't . carly : we could have begged him not to go , and we could n't have stopped him . you know ? i - i used to know how jason would react to anything . i knew what he liked . i knew what he wanted . now i do n't know at all , and that scares the hell out of me . [ scene_break ] franco : why would my mother refuse to see me ? why -- why would betsy run off ? unless it was something big . unless it was something really big that they did n't want me to know . this is the something ! scott : why is this so important to you ? franco : is that an actual question ? scott : yeah , it is . it 's a question . franco : dad ! my entire childhood could have been a lie . scott : oh , come on . that 's crazy talk . now , maybe there 's a little more to it than any of that . franco : my imaginary friend -- he was n't some dark presence in my life . whoever he was , he really helped me . scott : how ? how -- how did he help you ? franco : i was scared , like , all the time . i was a kid who was scared ... a lot . and he was n't just a companion . he was my champion . and then -- and then , all of a sudden , he was gone . and i - i thought it was maybe something that i did , you know ? like i 'd done something really , really wrong . like i was a really bad person . and that 's what started me on this whole spiral . scott : all right , look . come on , come on . what ? we 're not gon na go down this road . franco : i do n't see why not . why not ? scott : 'cause there 's no point in going down this dark , dismal road , okay ? the tumor -- it 's gone . everything is right in the world . now give me the picture . franco : no . scott : come on . give it to me . no ! i 'm gon na burn this picture ! franco : are you insane ? ! scott : am i ? !

[ chuckles ] come on . who is this friend of yours ? charlotte : bailey . from dance class . the teacher told bailey 's mom that she had scol - i - osis ? valentin : did she ? charlotte : because we were doing pirouettes , and bailey 's feet were perfect , but she could n't get her shoulders level . valentin : and the dance instructor wants bailey 's mother to have her examined ? charlotte : yes . and i wanted to ask . sometimes i ca n't get my shoulders level . does that mean i have scoliosis ? [ scene_break ] ava : oh , what am i saying ? this place is n't a prison . it 's the opposite , right ? it 's an oasis . it 's , uh , a miracle casino where you beat the odds and get that million - to - one shot . maybe the reason i 'm so uncomfortable here is that i do n't think i deserve it . why make me something beautiful on the outside when my insides do n't match ? so , what about you ? who were you before you became this so - called `` dangerous psychotic `` staring out the window ? are you good on the inside ? do you have people who love you , waiting for you to come home ? people you love in return ?

maxie : i 'm sorry . are you trying to make this my fault ? lucky : listen , i was wrong to sleep with you , and i never should 've used you to score pills for me . but it 's been more than a year , maxie , and you 're trying to get revenge by going after lulu ? georgie : lucky , this has nothing to do with you . maxie 's still upset because lulu broke up me and dillon . maxie : would you all please stop blaming me ? if lulu is missing , it 's his fault . [ scene_break ] epiphany : something on your mind ? kate : have there been any reporters asking about me ? epiphany : not a one . the only people that i 've seen out there are the regular staff and -- ric : oh , a formal little warrant will be sworn today with your name on it . you want to talk about a media circus ? you 're about to be arrested for felony drunk driving and reckless endangerment , ms. howard . [ scene_break ] trevor : ms. joffe , trevor lansing . brandon silverman recommended you to me . amelia : any relation to d.a . ric lansing ? trevor : oh , yeah . he 's my son , but not to worry . we 're nothing alike . amelia : reassuring . what is it that brandon thinks i can do for you ? trevor : assist in a breaking news story . you see , i 'd like to control some of the exposure and the spin . amelia : are we saving someone or burying them ? sam : trevor ? hi . this is a surprise . trevor : sam , good to see you . sam : nice to see you . trevor : i was just explaining to ms. joffe here that we 're about to get into bed together -- professionally speaking . [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , first of all , kate was framed . all she drank last night was iced tea . someone spiked it diane : but with no documented evidence , it 's going to be impossible to prove . spinelli : mr. corinthos , sir must call on his protectors of the night , charge them with finding the evil mobster 's spawn that abducted fair lulu before the unthinkable happens . sonny : what did he say ? jason : lulu 's in trouble . [ scene_break ] kate : should n't you advise me of my rights ? ric : i 'm the d.a . , and technically , i ca n't arrest you . and i certainly do n't want your legal counsel jumping all over me because i questioned you without an attorney present , so i would be very careful about what you say . kate : oh , i always am , mr. lansing . ric : `` mr. lansing `` ? kate : mm - hmm . ric : oh . kate : yeah , when someone threatens to put me in jail , they stop being a casual acquaintance . ric : no , it 's just that mr. lansing is my father , but not to you , of course . kate : why are you here ? ric : ah , morbid curiosity . you seem to be caught in between my sadistic , controlling father and my volatile , psychotic , equally controlling brother . the last woman who was in that position was my mother , whom i never knew . so i keep wondering , maybe you share the same traits as she had , or is your life just about to be ruined because you had the bad luck of being in the wrong place at the wrong time ? kate : i 'm nothing like your mother . [ scene_break ] sam : i actually think it would be fun to work together . just tell me what you need . amelia : oh , fashion icon kate howard is about to be arrested for drunk driving , which fits the program description of many of the tabloid news shows , but it 's a far cry from `` everyday heroes . `` trevor : brandon assured me that you could make this happen . he said you have a brilliant imagination . frankly , i have n't seen it yet . sam : i actually think this is a no - brainer , amelia . `` everyday heroes `` is about showing the public how to protect themselves , and we can absolutely use kate 's crime as a centerpiece on a new show about drunk driving -- call in some activists , have them talk about the number of fatalities , maybe even get law enforcement in here . amelia : gee , do we know any ordinary cops we could ask ? sam : no , we could focus on the dangers of the double standard . i mean , come on , when -- when celebrities are left off the hook with not even a slap on the wrist , we can actually make an example out of kate howard , insist that she 's treated like everyone else . amelia : it 's a little harsh . trevor : well , it 's all in the public interest . sam , i like the way you think . sam : thank you . trevor : if you do this for me , i 'm going to make it worth your while . [ scene_break ] maxie : yes , it 's hardly news that lulu and i hate each other , and i did make a deal to sleep with logan if he got lulu into bed . but i did n't put a gun to his head -- he was happy to have sex with lulu . so if lulu 's heart is broken , it 's because logan used her and she was stupid enough to fall for it . logan : guys , listen , this whole thing was maxie 's idea , all right ? i tried to back out of it . maxie : actually , that 's not true , and logan lied to lulu . logan : lulu and i have a real connection that has nothing to do with you . maxie : if that were true , you would n't have had sex with me after you slept with lulu . so if you want to yell at someone , why do n't you yell at logan ? and by the way , lulu 's an adult . she 's 18 , she 's old enough to vote , have an abortion , run off if she feels hurt and embarrassed . so why do n't you let her have her humiliation in peace ? nikolas : so this is on you , logan . [ scene_break ] jason : i need any information you have on anthony zacchara 's son john . diane : sonny , ric has petitioned for an arrest warrant by now . so if you plan on speaking to kate before she 's taken into custody , now is the time . spinelli : i 'm sorry , the fashionista 's legal issues must be held in abeyance , okay ? fair lulu has been abducted by the denizens of darkness ! sonny : jason , please , i do n't have time right now for that . spinelli : the blond one has most cruelly been -- jason : just -- just stop , okay ? be quiet . we have footage of lulu getting into a car that was registered to john zacchara , the address checks out . sonny : okay , john is anthony zacchara 's son . there are rumors that he 's not right in the head . can you look up his arrest record ? diane : yes . spinelli : lulu has been abducted by a demented denizen of darkness ? sonny : do n't worry , spinelli , he 's probably just as normal as you are . jason : look , if this guy 's crazy , we have to find lulu . sonny : okay , you just got to be careful , because if we start something with anthony zacchara 's son , then it 's -- it could be an all - out war . diane : oh , why do you insist on having these conversations in front of me ? sonny : do what you got to do to get lulu home safe . [ scene_break ] sheriff : hello ? anyone out there ? this car is parked illegally . [ scene_break ] amelia : all right , i have ordered the camera crew to the hospital to get footage of kate 's arrest , and the writers are already working on wraparound copy about the evils of drunk driving . sam : good . i -- trevor will be pleased . amelia : yeah , and that matters why ? sam : ugh ! because your boss said so . amelia : trust me , sam , if this were really important , brandon would 've called me himself , which means there 's something else going on , and you know what ? it is so predictable . you slept with the son , and now you want to take the dad for a test drive -- same old sam . sam : why do n't you take care of production and i will take care of myself , okay ? amelia : uh -- did you bring the wardrobe ? maxie : no , i 'm here to see sam . amelia : we 've been waiting on that shipment for days . sam : yeah , you know what ? that 's not maxie 's fault . why do n't you let the two of us talk , and you go do whatever it is that you do to get the segment produced , okay ? thanks . maxie : impressive . sam : ugh . yeah , i 've got to work with her , so i guess the least i can do is make her life miserable . maxie : well , it 's like you said -- revenge does n't feel sweet for long . all the satisfaction i got from humiliating lulu went up into smoke when she went missing . everybody thinks it 's my fault . sam : wait a minute , how long has lulu been missing ? [ scene_break ] trevor : somebody saw you accost me on the street , so if i go missing , there are going to be witnesses . jason : sit down , tell me about john zacchara . trevor : all right , here we go again . what do you want to know ? jason : oh , enough with the games already , trevor . he 's your client 's son . tell me everything you know . trevor : did johnny contact you ? all right . johnny is a troubled boy . he witnessed his mother 's murder when he was a child , and it has profoundly affected him . jason : what about the arrest record ? trevor : fighting mostly , reckless endangerment . he led the cops on a high- speed chase once that clocked him at 150 . but he has never stood trial for murder , so how bad can he be ? you should know that . huh . i managed to keep him out of prison all these years . jason : where is he right now ? trevor : i 'm told that he 's coming to port charles . but he was definitely in manhattan when sonny 's au pair girl was murdered if that 's where you 're going . jason : no , i was n't . trevor : if johnny zacchara comes after you , try not to kill him . the kid is crazy -- [ trevor chuckles ] trevor : but his father worships him . so , if any harm comes to johnny zacchara , you and your whole family , sonny and his whole family , and god knows who else -- you 're all going to have to pay for it . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . elizabeth : hey . emily : any news on lulu ? elizabeth : not a word . i 'm really starting to worry . emily : oh , i seriously doubt that she 's in any danger , elizabeth . she 's probably off somewhere nursing a broken heart . lulu 's a lot like her father , and if you noticed , we have n't gotten a call from him , either , since he took off . elizabeth : i know , but i told you -- jason has completely avoided me since we broke off our friendship , and yet he was worried enough to stop by my house today in person . emily : yeah , but he has a soft spot for spinelli , who 's got to be frantic about lulu , and you know jason would always make an extra effort for a friend . and maybe it was his way of letting himself see you again . epiphany : nurse spencer , please pull kate howard 's chart and prepare the paperwork for her release . [ scene_break ] kate : i seem to be associated with all the people you hate most in the world . in my own defense , i did n't know that trevor and sonny hated each other . i did n't even realize they had met , let alone shared such an unfortunate history . ric : so i guess the answer to the question is `` wrong place , wrong time . `` it 's too bad . kate : you know , when we first met , i probably seemed a bit arrogant . ric : huh . `` a bit `` ? kate : i -- i sometimes have that effect on people , and i usually do n't care , but this was a mistake that i deeply regret , one of many . it was wrong of me to drive recklessly and not stop when i hit that parked police car a few weeks ago and i take full responsibility . but , ric , i swear to you on my life , i was not driving drunk last night . i have every reason to believe that i was drugged , probably by your father , and i will help you in any way that i can to investigate him . you know your father . would you at least consider the possibility that i 'm innocent ? sonny : it 's actually more than a possibility . okay , ric , it 's pretty obvious at this point that trevor framed kate . now , look , all i 'm saying to you -- this is your chance of a lifetime . you can stop your father from destroying another innocent woman . [ scene_break ] logan : lulu -- you know , she left around 9 : 00 , it was really dark . she was wearing a peach shirt , a brown tank , and some jeans . georgie : i think she also had on that -- that silver necklace , the one with the charms on it . lucky : did she have a purse , a backpack or anything ? logan : she had a purse , and i know her phone was in it . but i 've tried calling her ; she has n't answered it all night . nikolas : was she angry at all when she left ? logan : no , she was more upset . lucky : all right , were you drinking ? logan : no , no , not even a beer . lucky : you call me if you hear from her or think of anything else . logan : okay , i will . lucky : hey , you going to come ? nikolas : no , no , i think i 'm going to stick around for a little bit . logan : look , okay , i know you 're pissed off and i do n't blame you , all right ? but it 's not going to do any good to go off me , because -- nikolas : anything happens to my sister , i swear i 'll kill you ! georgie : nikolas , stop it ! stop it , i will call the police ! stop ! logan : are you crazy ? nikolas : i apologize , georgie , i did n't mean to frighten you . georgie : i understand you 're worried about lulu , and i 'm sure that she 's fine . nikolas : yeah , well , for his sake , you better be right . georgie : are you all right ? logan : what the hell was that ? georgie : basically , what you deserve . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , last night lulu got into a car , and it was registered to john zacchara . i got the license plate number right here . lucky : all right , tell me , you stopped by my house this morning and you did n't have a clue about this -- what changed ? jason : well , we figured out which direction lulu was headed when she left logan 's , we accessed security cameras along that route , and we got some footage . lucky : okay , well , even if that was possible , it 'd be illegal . jason : you should check for yourself . lucky : you know , it 's kind of a coincidence that you think lulu 's with a member of the same family who 's kind of making a move on sonny 's territory . jason : okay , you know what ? i -- i get that you hate me , okay , but i 'm trying to help you find your sister . lucky : and i should trust you why -- because you 've always been such a standup guy with me ? jason : no , because lulu is a friend . lucky : i just think you 're trying to use the police to track down that zacchara guy for you . jason : does that mean you do n't want this information , lucky ? lucky : the guy who hurt lulu was logan hayes , working with sonny . the two of you actually do have a lot in common . using women , then kicking them to the curb ? yeah . [ scene_break ] mac : the judge signed off on the warrant . you and i are going to general hospital to arrest kate howard . let 's go . [ scene_break ] diane : hello , elizabeth . are you one of the nurses taking care of kate howard ? epiphany : is there something wrong here ? diane : i am representing ms. howard in a legal action . a warrant has been issued for her , and the police are planning on taking her into custody here at the hospital . emily : as long as her doctor has released her , there 's not a whole lot we can do about it . diane : well , unfortunately , dr. quartermaine , the press is going to be all over this . if they 're not here already , they will be , and it 's going to get ugly . epiphany : but i 'm still not hearing anything that 's concerning medical personnel , whose main purpose is to take care of sick people . diane : well , technically , nurse johnson , until ms. howard signs off on her own release , she is still a patient of this hospital . and i believe it 's in the best interest of the entire hospital staff to promote the well - being of every patient , is it not ? epiphany : why do n't you just say it -- you want us to run interference with the press . [ scene_break ] sonny : kate has nothing to do with what went on between us . she had no idea what kind of man trevor was any more than adela did when she got involved with him . ric : oh , here we go -- sonny gets to play the mother card . sonny : okay , hold -- hold on . you 're the one who tore up your life trying to avenge our mother , and for what ? she 's -- she 's dead . there 's nothing we can do to change that , but , hey , kate is a different story . you can get her out of this trap that trevor set for her . ric : you know what ? the one thing that i can count on with you , sonny , the one thing , is that you 'll treat me like a brother -- excuse me , correction -- you 'll treat me like a human being when you want something from me . kate : well , that could 've gone better . sonny : whatever happens , i 'm going to get you out of this . [ scene_break ] sam : all right , so lulu is missing ? she had a fight with logan , right ? lucky : no , it was worse than a fight -- logan is bad news . sam : well , maxie told me that logan slept with her on a bet . lucky : well , did she remember to mention that she 's the one that blew this whole thing wide open ? she got mad , so she had to rub it in lulu 's face ? sam : yeah , yeah , i know , i understand that . maxie is sometimes her own worst enemy . i understand her , oddly enough , bad instincts and all . lucky : okay , listen , i hate how i handled myself with maxie last year , but she 's only taking it out on lulu to get back at me . sam : hey , no , no , no , no , lucky , this is not your fault . logan jumped in with both feet , and maxie -- you are not remotely to blame for her bad behavior . and as far as lulu is concerned , i do n't know her very well but sometimes when you believe you have something really special with somebody and you realize that -- i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . we 've both been burnt by love , okay ? lucky : you think lulu 's in love with logan ? sam : i do n't know . maybe . but i -- i do n't think it really matters , because even if she 's not , she 's still hurt and angry and completely humiliated , so it really -- [ lucky chuckles ] sam : would n't shock me if she disappeared for a couple days . lucky : yeah , no , she 's a spencer -- hurt and anger turns into reckless behavior . sam : okay , listen , if you really think that lulu is in trouble , i think -- i think i can help . [ scene_break ] logan : you heard from lulu ? spinelli : the jackal has not heard . logan : is it possible the jackal ever lies , because i think what you might be doing right now is maybe instant - messaging her . spinelli : back off , simian one . logan : do n't give me orders . spinelli : the blond one 's disappearance is on your head . you 're the liar , not i . logan : i never wanted lulu to get hurt , okay ? i told maxie to leave her alone . i 'm sick of everyone in my face blaming me . i 'm sick of you acting like you 're the only one that loves her . spinelli : oh , you claim to love the fair one ? yet you secure her affections , and then -- logan : you better shut up now ! you understand ? i 'm going to find lulu and tell her i 'm sorry . okay , i got to make her understand that what we had was real , that maxie 's the one who set her up , not me . jason : get out . logan : you 'll have to kill me to keep me away from her . [ spinelli whimpers ] spinelli : okay , it 's okay . look , i -- i secured our next clue , our next clue as to the whereabouts of fair lulu . okay , the law - abiding ones have issued a ticket to an illegally parked automobile on country road 91 -- the same car that is driven by one john zacchara . jason : good work . let 's go . [ scene_break ] ric : you know , if you 're here to get the charges against kate howard dropped , you 're too late . the judge already signed a warrant , and i 'd say right about now , she 's getting cuffed and mirandized . so if you need to call in any favors or you need to muscle somebody high up , i suggest you get on the phone and do it , and get out of my chair . trevor : nah , it 's an old habit . i tried to rescue kate because she 's a beautiful , talented young woman who worked very hard to get where she is . here , sit . she 's got charisma , influence , power in her own right -- until this unfortunate event . ric : the woman makes one mistake , you bail on her -- how like you . trevor : do n't you judge me , richard , i loved that woman . she just made one bad choice too many . ric : you know , kate and sonny swear that you -- you drugged kate 's drink . huh . and i thought that they were just grasping at straws , but i can see now that it 's absolutely true . you set kate up to make it look like that she was drunk . what , you wanted her arrested , you wanted her humiliated , what , maybe even ruined ? trevor : hmm . richard , richard . you above all , my son , should know what happens to people who disappoint me . [ scene_break ] diane : i am going to be with you when the police arrive . now , they 're going to want to take you down to the pcpd in a squad car , but i 'm going to request that you be allowed to turn yourself in . kate : will they let us do that ? diane : we can try , but they may insist otherwise . sonny : i 'm going with her , diane . diane : no . sonny : yes . diane : you are going to meet us there , because the only thing worse than kate howard being arrested is kate howard being arrested with sonny corinthos at her side . i will stay with kate ; i will make sure that she is all right . now , when we get down to the station , you 're going to be booked . there 's a whole process -- fingerprints , mug shots . kate : hmm -- i remember . it probably gets easier the second time , right ? sonny : it 's a piece of cake . [ diane chuckles ] kate : does anyone else get the irony here ? in my business in publishing , it is survival of the fittest . i ca n't tell you how many people i 've hurt to get where i 'm at , and i had no choice -- it was either them or me , and there were probably only two people in the world that i could trust , lean on , confide in . and now one of them wants to destroy me . i 'd laugh if it were n't so infuriating . sonny : you know what ? i 'm sure that trevor helped you out a little bit , but i know that you did it on -- on your own . you know why ? because you 're a fighter , i know that . you just got to come out swinging . and you know what else ? i believe in you . mac : kate howard , you know why we 're here . [ diane sighs ] kate : i do . mac : we have a warrant for your arrest . you have the right to remain silent . if you choose to waive that right , anything you say could be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to have an attorney present now and during questioning . kate : my -- my attorney 's here . mac : well , that 's good , because if you did n't , one would be assigned to you . do you understand these rights as i 've read them to you ? kate : i do . mac : cadet barrett -- sonny , you might want to leave by a different exit . the press is already here . if you two leave together , it might make things worse . sonny : well , that 's up to -- it 's up to kate . kate : um -- sonny , you should probably meet me there . it 's really best for both of us . diane : it 's bad enough that my client has been framed . do you really need to perp walk her through that zoo out there ? [ scene_break ] reporter : nurse , nurse , what did kate howard have for breakfast today ? emily : i 'm a doctor , and what any patient has for breakfast is none of your business . reporter : so -- so you 're saying she 's anorexic ? emily : i said no such thing . reporter : is ms. howard heavily sedated ? is she hysterical ? second reporter : what will she wear when she 's arrested ? epiphany : she 'll probably be wearing clothes . let 's go . reporter : are the police here yet ? second reporter : has she called any of her friends up in manhattan ? first reporter : will kate be entering rehab before the hearing ? epiphany : where do they get these questions from ? reporter : what the hell 's going on ? epiphany : we have a critical patient arriving , and this is for your safety . we need to keep this access clear . [ reporters mumble ] reporter : there 's kate howard . emily : sorry . reporter : oh , we 're blocked . [ reporters talk ] [ scene_break ] ric : you know , i always knew that you had ice in your veins that you were the most vindictive man that i 've ever known . there 's pretty much nothing that you 've ever done that would surprise me , but ruining your ex - mistress ? that 's new even for you . trevor : what do you care whether kate howard gets busted for drunk driving ? she 's nothing to you . in fact , i think you should give me a little something for dropping this case right in your lap . ric : how about arsenic ? trevor : richard , why do n't you get off your soapbox and stop being a fool ? this is your first step in resuscitating your pathetic reputation . i mean , you can paint yourself as the principled d.a . who refused to buckle under celebrity -- ric : yes , and put the screws to your girlfriend at the same time , right ? trevor : ric , she 's sonny 's problem now , and he 's choking on his own frustration knowing that she is suffering because of him . what is the downside ? ric : because you bulldozed my life , dad . so what makes you think that i 'm going to help you try to do the same thing to somebody else ? trevor : you listen to me , boy . if kate howard walks from these charges , it 's only going to serve sonny . so you think very hard before you help your hated brother just to spite me . tsk , tsk , tsk , tsk , tsk , tsk . [ scene_break ] diane : i am trying to get the charges reduced , but your blood alcohol level was `` well `` over the legal limit . you were drugged -- i know , and i believe you -- but we have absolutely no proof . we could not recover the iced tea glass to test it , and my research has n't come up with any drug currently on the market that mimics alcohol intoxication . kate : trevor lansing has astonishing connections . he could easily come across something that has n't been even fda - approved yet . diane : i do n't doubt it . but if i trot out some conspiracy theory where you are somehow slipped some top - secret drug , we 're going to be laughed out of court . sonny : diane , what is the best - case scenario ? diane : all right . well , we have to remember that this is kate 's third reckless driving incident . now , there were no blood alcohol tests in the first two because they were hit - and - run . so there is going to be a presumption that she was driving drunk in both of those cases , as well . kate : okay , that -- that is the most ridiculous thing i 've ever heard . sonny : kate , let diane finish , please . because we got to figure out how we 're going to deal with this . diane : best - case scenario -- a plea bargain . but that 's going to depend on ric lansing . [ scene_break ] georgie : hey , guys . any word on lulu ? elizabeth : no , nothing . georgie : lucky and nikolas came by a little earlier to take a statement from logan . i really wish i knew what makes maxie do the things she does . i just -- i wanted to apologize for what she did . i -- i am so sorry . emily : no , georgie , you 're not responsible for your sister 's actions . and no matter what maxie 's done , logan 's the one who stomped all over lulu . georgie : well , i think it 's nikolas that got even by stomping all over logan . emily : what do you mean ? georgie : you did n't -- nikolas completely blew up . logan and nikolas were talking , and then nikolas grabbed logan and started choking him . for a second , i thought he was going to kill him . [ scene_break ] nikolas : anything yet ? lucky : jason -- he was here before , claiming he had a lead , but it was n't credible . nikolas : well , if there 's anyone you should be looking at , it 's this logan hayes guy . i think he knows more about where lulu is than he 's admitting to . i mean , he could 've called her and told -- lucky : okay , but why would n't he tell us ? nikolas : i do n't know -- maybe he wants to be the big hero and bring her home . lucky : okay , did logan say anything to you after i left that might make you think that he heard from her ? nikolas : no , no . he was too busy wallowing in his own remorse . it just made me sick , so i left .

tracy : that you followed in the footsteps of your gangster father ? how could i resist ? joe jr. : i got out as quick as i could . sonny wo n't let me leave it behind . tracy : and why is that , joseph ? or should i call you joe jr. ? joe jr. : i like being `` joseph `` with you . who knows why sonny 's in my face ? payback for something my old man may or may not have done decades ago ? you see , tracy , that 's the thing with these guys . they go back and forth so many times , they lose track of whose turn it is to avenge who . tracy : well , i did consider the source . sonny corinthos is no , uh , pillar of honesty , but then again , you 're no prize in that department , either . joe jr. : i 'm not gon na lie to you , tracy . tracy : that 's big of you . joe jr. : just be prepared . you may not like the truth . jason : steve , hold on . steve : look , i realize you saved elizabeth 's life , and i 'm appropriately grateful , but you 're no good for my sister . jason : i 'm not here to talk about elizabeth . steve : okay . so why so interested in my mother ? or do i even have to ask ? mcbain : i wanted to check in , make sure you 're okay . i do n't know if you heard -- heather webber escaped from ferncliff . sam : yeah , i -- i did hear . her son called me last night to warn me . mcbain : they 're gon na get her . just , you know , be careful . try to keep some people around . sam : oh , yeah ?

mcbain : for a lot of reasons , yeah . i , um ... i lied . i did n't -- i did n't just come by to see you . um , i was also hoping to talk to your mom . sam : oh , the restraining order . mcbain : i need to see my son , and natalie . this has dragged on too long . sam : no , i know . mcbain : the more time that goes by ... sam : john , i am so sorry . mcbain : please , do n't . you do n't have to do that . is she home ?

how you doing ? sam : [ breathing deeply ] well , um ... it 's a big day for ending marriages around here . i signed the divorce papers . jason and i ... we 're over . - [ taste buds ] donuts , donuts ! -who are these guys ? steve : look , if you 're worried my mother might go after sam , i already called her and gave her a heads - up . sam knows to be on the lookout . jason : thank you . steve : i did n't do it for you . i probably did n't have to do it at all because my mother has people way higher on her hit list , like olivia and anna . she 's never tried to harm sam . jason : not physically , no . steve : what 's that supposed to mean ? jason : do the cops have any leads ? steve : they have no idea where my mother is . jason : if they find her , will you let me know ? steve : one condition -- tell me why . what is it you think my mother 's done to sam ? mcbain : i 'm sorry , sam . i 'm sorry you and jason could n't work things out . sam : yeah . i -- i came really close to changing my mind . when we were sick , jason and i talked about everything that happened , how much we regret . mcbain : the baby . sam : yeah , the baby . it was -- it was just killing me , wondering whether or not -- if i would have just kept my son with me instead of leaving him alone outside that shack . would he have survived ? mcbain : no , none of what happened that night is your fault . sam : i understand that now . i mean , jason got me to see that . he actually asked patrick drake to ... tell us what happened , medically . mcbain : yeah . sam : and my son 's lungs were n't fully developed , so it does n't matter . if he would have gotten us to the hospital in time , he still would n't have survived . mcbain : well , then jason 's not to blame . sam : i went to see jason . why i do n't know . i thought that maybe i could finally forgive him . and it was too late . when i walked in , he had -- he had already moved on with elizabeth , so it was ... well , i mean , it hit me really hard , but ... it made me realize that i 've got to move on , too , so i signed the divorce papers . joe jr. : before we met , i was in jail in atlantic city , waiting to go to trial . tracy : for murdering lieutenant mcbain 's sister . joe jr. : yes . the charges were dropped . tracy : i can see that . the questions is , why ? lack of evidence ? somebody pulled strings ? you were innocent ? and do n't you dare lie to me . joe jr. : sonny is the one who murdered that poor girl . i had nothing to do with it . sonny : not only did joe jr. rape kate ... he got her pregnant . alexis : mm . god . how old was she ? sonny : 17 . alexis : oh . sonny : can you imagine ? with a young girl like that , can you imagine how scared she would have been ? alexis : what about the baby ? sonny : she left the baby behind , along with her old life . that 's when she became kate . alexis : is that how she got the d.i.d . ? sonny : she does n't remember . kate does n't remember anything . it all came out during therapy . she assumed the baby died because she had left it behind . but that was n't the case . alexis : this is heartbreaking for everyone involved . but what does this have to do with kristina ? starr : i honestly do n't know what to say . kristina : i did n't expect you to say anything , to be honest . why are you acting so weird ? are you afraid what michael 's gon na think ? starr : obviously , michael 's going to hate it , kristina . but if i were you , i would be more worried about your parents . alexis : please tell me you 're not saying what i think you 're saying . sonny : i wish i could . alexis : trey mitchell ? the one who just married our daughter in vegas ? sonny : is the son kate left for dead . connie : where 's the skin ? where 's the cleavage ? maxie : i 'm sorry . connie : i want to look sexy walking down the aisle , not like some button - up schoolmarm . and these heels ? ugh ! i want lucite . [ gasps ] with those little chains around the ankles . maxie : oh , you did not just say `` chains . `` connie : no , little chains , not big chains . delicate ones . i want some edge . maxie : on your wedding day . connie : and no white tablecloths , no white flowers , no white anywhere . i 'm thinking leopard . maxie : flowers ? connie : print for the linens . flowers ? oh , flowers . let 's see . i want big , big flowers shaped like hearts with the yellow things sticking out of them . maxie : anthurium lilies in your bouquet . connie : everywhere . what 's with the face ? maxie : nothing . just does n't seem very kate howard to me . connie : well , it 's not kate howard . it 's connie falconeri . alexis : she does n't know ? you did n't say anything ? sonny : i do n't know how she 's gon na take it . alexis : well , not well . i 'm sure she 'll be relieved that her child is still alive , and then she 'll freak out . sonny : kate 's been carrying a lot of guilt , all right ? this is n't just about the child that she abandoned . it 's a reminder of what that animal scully did to her . finding out who trey is , it represents her going back to that place where she 's got a lot of fear , a lot of desperation ... alexis : and you 're afraid she 's gon na fall apart and connie 's gon na re - emerge ? maxie : connie falconeri . should i be scared ? connie : no . maxie : i just -- i kind of thought connie was gone . connie : oh , she is gone . as a different persona . but i 'm integrated now , so i 'm both kate and connie . maxie : at the same time . connie : yeah . dr. keenan , may he rest in peace , taught me that integration means that connie does n't disappear . she becomes a part of me . maxie : well , i guess that would explain the leopard - print and the cleavage . maxie : best of both worlds , right ? kristina : i can handle my parents , but thanks . starr : would n't it just be easier to get an annulment ? maybe go out on a date like normal people ? kristina : we 're anything but normal . starr : yeah , you have no idea . kristina : what ? starr : nothing . kristina : yes , starr , my parents are gon na freak out . what else is new ? but they 'll just have to get over it . i 'm gon na go shower , okay ? starr : if you were going to stay married to kristina , you owe her the truth about your father . tracy : sonny murdered john mcbain 's sister . joe jr. : he was kneeling over her dead body with a gun . tracy : and how did he go free ? joe jr. : he walked 'cause he 's got connections . when mcbain came to town looking for justice , sonny pointed the finger right at me . i mean , i swear . one minute , i 'm in my shop , admiring a 1901 bow - arm morris chair i 'd scored . next thing you know , i 'm in lockup in atlantic city . i did a lot of thinking in that cell , about how you ca n't really escape your own family , no matter how hard you try . people judge , all based on your last name . tracy : that 's why you did n't want to tell me your last name was scully ? joe jr. : i was n't purposely trying to hide it . i was ashamed . you know , i thought that you -- you know , you might think less of me if you knew all about my screwed - up family . tracy : you did n't want to scare me off ? joe jr. : considering you 're the best thing to happen to me in i do n't remember how long ? yeah , i did n't want to scare you off . tracy : and what about raping kate howard ? maxie : you know , this , uh ... integration thing could work out well for me . connie : in what respect ? maxie : well , the connie side of you might be slightly less demanding -- not as obsessed with the exact temperature of your latte . connie : yeah , i know . kate had a rigid way of looking at things , right ? maxie : you could put it that way . connie : yeah , well , connie 's here to fun things up , so your job now is to mesh connie 's style with kate 's . maxie : the thing is , i 'm not sure that 's possible . connie : anything 's possible . maxie : okay . so what you would like me to do is mix elegant with tacky at the same time ? connie : no , no , no , not tacky -- fun . maxie : fun . okay . well , i 'm not even sure where to start . where would i find these hideo -- uh , fun - sounding things ? connie : maxie , you 're a smart little girl . you 'll figure it out . why do n't you go up to my bedroom ? my computer 's on . do a little research , and do n't come back till you done it right . carly : josslyn 's with jax . johnny : yeah ? carly : so you get me all day . johnny : well , lucky me . carly : you need a blanket . yes , you do . you need a blanket . do n't move , okay ?

that does n't really sound like you . sam : it was n't . it was my friend maxie 's idea . she wanted to do it , and then it was one disaster after another , so jason and i wound up getting married in the courtyard of a chinese - food restaurant . mcbain : ah . now it 's all starting to make sense . sam : it was , actually , really very romantic . the union of the phoenix -- that was me -- and the dragon -- that was jason -- was supposed to represent the ultimate bliss . so that 's what the figurine 's about , the one you had with you during labor . sam : yeah . um ... we -- we both bought them for each other for christmas . we did n't even know we were getting the same present for each other . and then the baby died , and i left mine in the hotel room . mcbain : i know . i found it this morning . jason : okay . this stays between us . sam does n't even know . steve : sam does n't know my mother hurt her . jason : and she ca n't know until i can prove it . steve : okay . i wo n't say anything . jason : i think heather took sam 's baby . johnny : i was hoping i had hallucinated your visit yesterday . connie : [ chuckles ] do n't play hard - to - get , johnny . i know you miss me as much as i miss you . you see the wedding announcement in the paper today ?

i took a murder rap for you , and not just any murder -- a man and his little girl , all right ? you owe me , johnny . so the next time i come to you for something , lose the ' tude . johnny : enough ! [ gasps ] i will not let you do this to me , do you hear me ? oh , damn it . carly : johnny , who was that ? maxie : okay , kate , or connie -- whatever . all right , i hope that this is fun enough for your connie side . connie : let me see it . maxie : i did n't even know some of those websites existed , but i guess there really is something for everyone . connie : ooh ! this is -- this is better . this is better . this is still a little hoity - toity , but keep going with this , all right ? good job . and do n't forget the bachelorette party . maxie : oh , i 'm already on it . i reserved the secret garden for high tea . they just need to know how many guests you 're having . connie : zero . maxie : what ? you have olivia and alexis . and i 'll go . connie : no , i 'm not -- i 'm saying that i would n't subject anyone to high tea anywhere . maxie : why not ? teeny little sandwiches , wine . connie : wine ? try tequila . and i 'll be drinking it off a male strippers abs . maxie : strippers ? connie : yeah . sonny : kate 's up to her eyeballs in this wedding . she 's loving every second . i do n't know how i 'm gon na tell her , especially with dr. keenan out of the picture . alexis : well , there are a lot of good psychiatrists that are gon na be able to help her with this , but i 'm thinking maybe you should just hold off for a little bit . sonny : till after the wedding so that way she could have some happiness first . that 's what i was thinking . alexis : right . good idea . and i do n't mean to rush you off the kate subject , but what are we gon na do about kristina ? does she know who trey 's father is ? sonny : i do n't think so . alexis : okay , well , he knows who you are , and it 's not coincidence that he married your daughter . sonny : joe 's been , you know , using his son to get to me . alexis : right . so kristina 's right in the middle . sonny : all i know is i 'm gon na have kristina sign these annulment papers now . alexis : right . good . [ breathes deeply ] we just need to find her . kristina : starr ? can i borrow your hair dryer ? starr : sure . it 's under the sink . kristina : thanks . trey : what does that mean ? hmm ? tell kristina what about my father ? starr : about the bad blood between him and kristina 's father . trey : for the last -- for the last time , starr , i told you i made that up . okay , you heard my father . he did n't even know who sonny corinthos was ... starr : oh , come on ! that 's -- trey : ... until he started the show . so now what ? huh ? starr : do you really want to be with kristina , or is there another reason ? trey : okay . you want the truth , starr ? starr : yeah . trey : you want the truth ? then why do n't we start with you ? mm - hmm . yeah , what are you hiding ? joe jr. : [ breathes deeply ] tracy : i want to know what happened . joe jr. : we were in high school . connie was sonny 's girl , but she liked to flirt with me when he was n't around . well , one night , she asked me over because her parents were gone . we got a little drunk . we fell in bed . that 's it . end of story . i do n't know how to prove to you that i did n't force myself on her , but we 've been together quite a lot the past few weeks , no ? tracy : yes . joe jr. : were you ever afraid of me ? tracy : no . joe jr. : [ chuckles ] you know , uh ... i 'm not the only one who 's not a saint in this room . that 's right . i did my homework , tracy angelica quartermaine . you 've been married to one criminal after another . if you could accept them ... why ca n't you accept me ? sam : i was sure housekeeping would have thrown that away . mcbain : it ended up in the lost and found . sam : uh , well , how did you end up with it ? mcbain : i was looking for something i lost . came across it and ... i do n't know -- i recognized it , and i was n't sure if you left it there on purpose , but i thought i 'd check . sam : did you ever find what you were looking for ? mcbain : yeah , i did . but , hey , if you do n't want it , say the word . i 'll get rid of it . jason : there 's a chance that sam 's little boy is still alive . steve : how is that possible ? jason : i noticed something in the records . the baby was listed as ab - negative . sam is o - positive . steve : somebody made a mistake when they were recording the information . jason : i had somebody test the baby 's tissue samples . steve : who ? jason : it does n't matter who . the chart was right . it was not sam 's baby that we buried . steve : this is crazy . jason : listen to me . the night of the storm , when sam 's baby was born , she was worried and she went looking for help . steve : i heard about this . jason : okay , right . so she ended up at some shack , and she was worried that she was gon na pass out and drop the baby , so she put the baby in a planter box . that was the last time that she saw her son . she went inside , she passed out , i showed up , the baby was already dead , i showed her the baby . she said it was n't hers . steve : denial 's a huge part of grief . jason : denial ? ! it was the same shack heather held luke hostage in and close to where she buried anthony zacchara 's body ! your mother was there that night of the storm ! she could have had something to do with this . steve : oh , my ... jason : listen . the only thing that i can not explain is , where did heather get the other baby to make the switch ? steve : i think i know . growing out your hair can mean split ends , maxie : so , you want to do body shots at your bachelorette party . connie : yeah . is n't that what they 're supposed to be about ? getting down and dirty one last time before your life officially ends ? i was kidding . maxie : okay . 'cause it 's getting kind of hard to tell . so , the english gardens . connie : no . no english garden , maxie . do i need to spell it out for you ? okay , dive bar , music cranked , male strippers with chiseled abs . maxie : the connie side . connie : the connie side . you think you can handle it ? maxie : absolutely . connie : great . so here 's sonny 's charge card . it , uh ... has no limit , so ... knock yourself out . carly : you do n't have to answer that . i know who it was . johnny : you do ? carly : yeah , it 's the last person you need to hear from today -- it was one of those men you borrowed the money from . johnny : yeah , those bastards are already pressuring me . carly : you know the best part about coming clean ? we 're in this together . okay ? the next time that phone rings , i 'm gon na answer it , and i 'm gon na tell them what i really think . johnny : [ chuckles ] guy wo n't know what hit him . carly : that 's right . come on . you have to sit down . ca n't be up . johnny : i love you , carly . just please always remember that , no matter what happens . carly : what 's gon na happen ? trey : you keep trying to say something , and then you stop . what 's your deal ? starr : i live here , so , um ... trey : so ... ? starr : so now that the two of you are married , you 'll probably want the place to yourselves , right ? trey : you know , we have n't really sorted out all the details yet . starr : well , when you do , just let me know . [ door opens ] kristina : she seems abnormally concerned about this marriage . trey : oh , she 's probably just worried that michael 's gon na get all psycho when he finds out about it . no offense , but your brother could benefit from some serious anger counseling . kristina : and i thought i had my hands full with my parents . trey : hmm . you heard from them ? kristina : only ever five seconds . my mom wants me to come home , sign the annulment papers . trey : what are you gon na do ? sonny : you do n't know where kristina is ? alexis : do you ? and why do you say it like it 's that unusual ? [ cell phone beeps ] alexis : maybe that 's her . it is . she 's on her way home . sonny : okay . alexis : okay . so we 're gon na end this marriage once and for all , because i 'm telling you , our daughter will not be used as ammunition against you . tracy : how dare you bring my history into this . my ex - husbands are exes for a reason . joe jr. : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . i was just trying to -- tracy : what are you trying to do , joseph ? what are you trying to do ? ! joe jr. : all i know is i was minding my own business , trying to figure out what 's next in my life when , out of the blue , some bombshell drops a vat of soup on my head . tracy : it was not a vat ! and it was definitely not on your head ! joe jr. : well , guess what -- boom ! everything changed . just like that . you dazzled me , tracy . when jerry was trying to off the whole city , all i could think about was saving your life . tracy : that would be touching , except i never got sick . joe jr. : mm . you do n't know what you 're talking about . tracy : then enlighten me . joe jr. : [ breathes deeply ] i 've never felt like this about any other woman . and i believe it goes both ways . are you really gon na let it pass us by 'cause of something corinthos said ? tracy : take another step and i 'll be forced to call alice . joe jr. : go for it . steve : the night of the storm , i was on duty when a couple came in with a newborn . they tried to make it to the hospital , but they got stuck because of the road closures , and they had the baby at a bus stop . they said he was n't ... making any noise at first and he was n't breathing well . jason : `` he `` ? it -- it was a boy ? steve : yeah . the guy took the baby , and he -- and he ... went off and tried to look for help , and he came across this woman in the woods -- a good samaritan , he called her -- and she performed cpr and saved the baby 's life . jason : did you see the baby ? steve : yeah . and at first , i thought they were overreacting , honestly , to the scare of having the baby at a roadside because the baby was perfectly healthy . he had strong lungs , he had a good heart . there was no indication that anything was ever wrong . jason : did they mention the good samaritan 's name ? could this couple 's baby be the baby who died ? could your mother have switched sam 's baby with this one ? steve : i do n't know . jason : is it possible ? steve : yes , it 's possible ! sam : if i believed in signs , i 'd say that this is flashing neon . mcbain : you do n't believe in signs ? sam : well , i 'm -- i used to . i mean , it 's basically why jason and i got married when we go married , where we got married . and look at where -- look at where that got us . [ sighs ] i do n't know . it 's just ... it 's too late . mcbain : oh , i would n't close the book just yet . sam : and why is that ? mcbain : life can change in an instant . sam : anything 's possible . mcbain : yeah . anything 's possible . sam : when did you become mr . optimism , huh ? mcbain : i do n't know . i guess you ... face death a couple times and that 's what happens to you . so ... sam : so ... mcbain : you gon na keep it or not ? steve : so you 're convinced my mother switched the child . jason : i 'm just saying that she had motive and she had opportunity , and this baby gave her the means . steve : i do n't want to believe this ! but i 've had to learn the hard way my mother 's pretty much capable of anything . jason : i need a name or an address . steve : i 'm bound by the privacy -- jason : i know -- i know that you do n't owe me anything . this is sam 's son . and if he 's out there alive somewhere , she needs to know . kristina : i 'll tell you what i 'm not doing . getting an annulment . trey : well , you know , now your parents are gon na try and talk you into that . kristina : let them . they know just as well as i do they ca n't force me to end this marriage . not after last night . trey : [ chuckles ] alexis : everyone needs to just take a deep breath . there is no reason why this annulment is not going to go smoothly . sonny : you realize we 're talking about our daughter . she 's impulsive , she 's stubborn . she does n't do `` smoothly . `` alexis : and whose fault is that ? sonny : i do n't know . she grew up in your house . alexis : with your temperament . sonny : ah . alexis : look , kristina 's already decided on the annulment , and the grounds for the annulment are clear . sonny : trey lied to kristina , tricked her into this wedding . alexis : but kristina and trey have not consummated the marriage , so even mr. slick producer ca n't argue with that one . trey : so amazing making love to you . kristina : really ? trey : why ? you do n't think so ? kristina : [ giggles ] no , i do . are you kidding ? i wish we could just stay in bed all day .

[ scene_break ] ava : would you stop being such a pessimist ? your case is in the hands of the jury now . the jury that did not hear your confession . the jury that witnessed alexis ' complete and utter collapse on the stand . julian : something is definitely off with alexis . ava : [ laughing ] yes . she was high as a kite . julian : i thought maybe it was because she could n't handle seeing me . ava : case was done after alexis . and putting sonny on the stand did n't help matters any . the man is a known mobster , so his testimony is suspect . julian : why do i get the feeling you are n't surprised about how this all unfolded ? ava : well , if you 're referring to alexis ' meltdown , it 's true . i was n't surprised . from what i 've seen , alexis has always been a mess under that ice- queen exterior . today , she finally cracked . so ... maybe the stars aligned just for you . julian : hmm . or , um ... maybe ... somebody gave those stars a ... little push . ava : let 's just say that if things work out for you the way i think they will ... you 're gon na owe me big . julian : what exactly did you do , ava ? ava : well ... you could call it quid pro quo . [ scene_break ] dillon : you 've done `` a bad thing . `` can you be a little more specific ? paul : well , a murderer ... may very well go free because of me . dillon : if you 're talking about julian jerome , all you could do was present the case . ultimately , the rest is up to the jury . paul : i should have prepped alexis better . i should have double - checked the warrant , and i lost another witness . dillon : sabrina . yeah , that 's why i 'm here . paul : about sabrina ? dillon : she was killed at general hospital . police believe that her death is connected to the attempt on aunt monica , so the board is closing down general hospital . paul : wow . i had n't heard . that 's a pretty serious step . it 's gon na have some serious repercussions throughout the city . dillon : at this point , the board feels it 's the only way they can make sure that the staff and the patients are all safe . paul : i understand . well , so , what do you need from me ? dillon : well , so far , the police have come to a dead end with this investigation . and i know that you 've been super - busy with this jerome trial , but the closure of the hospital is hitting my mom pretty hard , and i would ... i would appreciate it if you could reassure her that you will do everything within your power to catch this person that is killing all these people . paul : of course , son . i 'll do everything i can . [ scene_break ] sonny : when you told the judge that sabrina was murdered , my first thought is you know julian was behind it . carly : i would n't put it past him . sonny : the witness to duke 's murder , hale garrett , i know as a fact julian had him od 'd . carly : do you have proof that julian took a hit out on sabrina ? sonny : of course not , but according to michael , the police think that sabrina witnessed the hospital killer trying to take out monica , and they did what they had to do to shut sabrina up . carly : oh , god . sonny : okay . if i find out who it is , it 's over . carly : no ! sonny : yeah . carly : no , do n't even say that , sonny . sonny : why would you say that to me ? carly : are you kidding me ? sabrina 's dead ! there 's a little boy out there who 's gon na grow up without his mother . it 's heartbreaking . sonny : it would n't have happened if i had something to do with it . carly : it 's not your fault , okay ? but there is something you can do . you promise me the killing stops now . [ scene_break ] nathan : you in trouble -- how is that different from any other day of your life , claudette ? claudette : are you gon na listen to me ? nathan : well , i am still here , so ... i guess against my better judgment , yeah , i 'm gon na listen . claudette : okay . i just want to say , though -- for the record , none of this was my fault . nathan : [ scoffs ] of course , it was n't your fault . nothing is ever your fault , right ? claudette : [ sighs ] okay , after we split up ... nathan : you mean after i left you because you cheated on me ? claudette : yes . you 're right . i completely messed things up between us . i hooked up with ... the wrong man . nathan : how wrong ? claudette : dangerous . deadly , even . so i have kept a low profile over the years in the hopes of never running into him again . nathan : you know , you might actually be telling the truth , for once in your life . maxie tells me that there is , uh , no record of you online , basically , from the time we broke up . claudette : oh . maxie 's a pi now . nathan : that 's cute . who is this `` wrong guy `` ? claudette : his name does n't matter . he 's in prison . nathan : [ scoffs ] [ chuckles ] i got to -- a cop , a priest , and a crook . i got to say , claudette , that 's quite the trifecta . claudette : are you done ? i found out that he was tracking me from prison , so i tried to make myself untraceable -- no social media , no credit cards . i paid for everything in cash . i even bought a pay - as - you - go cell phone . i did the best i could to stay off the grid . nathan : and i take it none of those things worked . claudette : he has lots of resources . and he found me . so i went into full panic / run mode , and that 's when i saw your engagement photo online . and i realized that you were the only one that could help . nathan : [ scoffs ] well , you picked a hell of a way to ask me for help , claudette . you show up in town with some fake name and you get a job with maxie , my girlfriend -- my now - fiancée -- so you can , what ? so you can say that fate just brought us back together ? claudette : i just thought that it would be easier to get you to help me if ... we could rekindle things . nathan : [ scoffs ] claudette : and that meant that i needed to get maxie out of the way . nathan : so you could come on to me ? claudette : i realize that my methodology was flawed , okay ? i should have known that i -- playing games was n't gon na get you . nathan : you think ? claudette : but it was n't always games . you know , when i dug up our wedding photo and i saw how good you looked , all of these memories came flooding back . you 're a good man , nathan west . you 're so sensitive and strong , and i -- nathan : and you what ? and you what ? and a part of you just started to feel those things that you said you felt for me ? claudette : yes ! exactly . nathan : [ sighs ] claudette . i need you to stop spitting the same lie to me , okay ? and have you forgotten about griffin ? 'cause i sure as hell have n't . [ scene_break ] scott : look , uh ... trials , they can be tricky . w - what 'd you say your name was ? griffin : dr. griffin munro . scott : okay . well , you know ... doc , you see , you know , nobody knows anything until the jury has its say . griffin : well , you sound pretty confident that my father 's killer will be set free . why is that ? from everything i know , there was a strong case against julian . scott : well , there was . then there was n't . griffin : what does that mean ? scott : [ sighs ] look , i understand . listen , you want answers . you 're duke 's son . but i represent julian jerome . i 'm not the one you should be talking to . griffin : you must have done something brilliant . it was supposed to be a slam dunk . julian ordered my father 's murder , then confessed to his wife while she was wearing a wire . how did you get around that ? scott : look , if you want to know why this case went south so quickly , you should go knock on the da 's door or you should talk to sonny corinthos or alexis davis , because they were there , and they will know everything . [ scene_break ] sonny : these people have to be stopped before they do it again . carly : okay , and they will be , sonny -- when the police apprehend the killer . sonny : yeah , the same police that messed up the wire tape warrant ? is that who you 're talking about ? carly : we have to believe that the right thing is going to happen , because i 'm scared . i 'm scared any action you take , it 's gon na come back on our family . sonny : you 're not just talking about sabrina right now , are you ? carly : no . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : sonny , if this trial goes bad , okay ? if it ends wrong and julian goes free ... i want you to promise me that you 're not gon na take the law into your own hands and go after julian . [ scene_break ] ava : now is not the time to get bogged down with details . just know that your little sister was there for you in your time of need . and once the jury finds you not guilty , you 'll be protected by double jeopardy . julian : mm . ava : no one can touch you . julian : [ scoffs ] well , you 're assuming a lot about that jury . ava : they got nothing on you , jules . i truly performed a miracle . julian : i just hope you did n't perform one too many miracles today . ava : w -- what 's that supposed to mean ? julian : did you have anything to do with sabrina not showing up to testify ? ava : no . no . i was gon na ask you the same thing . and no , for the record , i did not have her killed . julian : okay . ava : s - so , then , cheer up . i mean , her death -- it 's tragic and it 's sad . but it 's one less witness against you , right ? julian : do n't you get it ? her untimely death could be the very reason i get convicted . ava : i 'm not sure i 'm following you on this one , julian . sabrina not testifying is a good thing . julian : look , juries are not as impartial as we 'd like to think . ava , come on . everybody on that jury knows who i am and what i am . ava : yeah -- the ceo of a media conglomerate . the head of the jerome crime family . julian : how do you think that looks to the jury ? the prosecution 's witness against an alleged mob kingpin is suddenly found dead . i mean , i could n't help but thinking everybody in that jury was all of a sudden looking at me going , `` oh , yeah . he did it . he 's as guilty as sin . `` ava : hey ! stop it ! stop thinking like that . julian : [ sighs ] ava : paul 's case amounted to nothing . you did n't even have to open your mouth . julian : yeah . do you know what i wish ? i wish i started thinking differently a long time ago -- long before i fell in love and got married . then there never would have been a trial . there never would have been a confession . [ sighs ] i wish to hell i 'd never told alexis my secrets . [ scene_break ] alexis : i know my way around a courtroom . i 've been doing this my entire adult life . i can not explain what happened . it was like i was watching myself from above . i - i could n't comprehend what he was saying . i could n't form the words . i - i - it was like everything was in slow motion . i do n't know what happened . i get up , i pass out , and julian catches me . it was a nightmare . olivia : well , the nightmare is just beginning , because if he gets acquitted , this is double jeopardy . he ca n't be tried again , even though the man is guilty as sin . alexis : i know that . olivia : okay . okay . so , if this jury finds that there 's reasonable doubt and they vote `` not guilty , `` julian is just free . yeah ? he 's free . no supervision . no parole . free to just -- to just run his newspaper and drive his car around town and demand visitation rights with leo . he 's free to show up at your door ... alexis : he would n't do that . olivia : ... and ask you to take him back . of course he would , alexis ! wake up and see this man for who he really is ! he married you , and then he tried to kill you ! julian has no boundaries . he has no limits . he has nothing even remotely resembling character or ethics . all he cares about is what he wants , what he feels , the next toy on the shelf . he 's like a spoiled child . he do n't give a damn about the lives he ruins or the people he kills , and that includes leo and that includes you . [ scene_break ] carly : sonny , what if julian goes free ? sonny : we 're gon na deal with the situation when and if it becomes a reality . carly : no , we have to deal with it right now . we have to deal with it right now , because if you go after julian , ava 's gon na return the fire , and what if another family jumps into the mix ? sonny : carly , slow down . carly : no , sonny ! how many times have we been through this ? it always escalates . the only way to stop it is to not start . sonny : every situation 's different , and i 'm gon na deal with this one appropriately . carly : okay , that 's not an answer . sonny : it 's the only answer i can give you . carly : no ! sonny : yes . carly : sonny . so i 'm just supposed to accept it , huh ? and drop the subject ? i ca n't do that this time . i have too much at stake here . we have too much at stake here . we have kids . and a family . and i 'm not willing to give up any part of this , wondering when and how julian or ava or someone else is gon na try and retaliate . i want you to promise me ... if julian is found not guilty that you 're gon na let this go .

[ scene_break ] parker : so , this is the world and class that jane austen inhabited . now , unfortunately , we ca n't just hop in a tardis and jump back in time to 18th- century england . student : why not ? parker : [ chuckles ] well ... we have the next best thing , because through austen 's work , we get to see her world . and we can see how seriously class and gender distinctions mattered to people back then . student : do n't class and gender distinctions still matter ? parker : very much . yes , good point . but they manifest in different ways . even though the world has changed , the people , her characters , what they wanted and why -- in that way , austen 's insights remain very fresh today . molly : but , professor ... parker : yes , molly ? molly : jane austen and the people that she knew ... parker : mm - hmm . molly : ... i mean , they knew right from wrong , did n't they ? parker : well , yeah . i mean , sure . most of the time . molly : so to crush someone 's heart ... you know , the way willoughby does to marianne ... that would be unforgivable in austen 's world . and hopefully still our own today ... would n't it ? [ scene_break ] charlotte : do you think bailey 's scared ? valentin : yeah . yeah , i think she 's probably a little scared . but once she gets here to shriners hospitals for children , she 'll realize there 's nothing to be scared of . charlotte : what 's going to happen ? valentin : the doctors are fully going to assess bailey , and they 're gon na come up with the best treatment for her scoliosis . charlotte : i texted bailey this morning . she said she 's glad we 're here to help . valentin : well , you know , it 's the doctors that are really gon na help . we 're just here for moral support . charlotte : what does that mean ? valentin : moral support ? it means , when somebody 's going through something really difficult , you show up to offer your encouragement , even though there 's really nothing you can do to help . charlotte : but , papa , you did help . you told bailey 's mom to bring her here . [ elevator bell dings ] valentin : yeah , i did . oh . hello , lulu . this is a surprise . charlotte : lulu , we did n't know you were coming . lulu : oh , i 'm your mother , charlotte . i thought that i should be here for your friend ... and for you .

[ elevator bell dings ] kristina : you 're in parker 's class right now . this ought to work . [ button clicks ] [ scene_break ] parker : much of austen 's work is about heartbreak . but it was also about misunderstanding . again and again , her heroines and heroes misunderstood what was going on with the other person ... misunderstood what was going on within themselves . but the conclusion that was drawn made perfect sense under the circumstances . sometimes these misunderstandings were about wealth and position . for instance , `` do i want to marry them , or do they want to marry me just to better their lives ? `` but not always . sometimes they 'd ask , `` do they really love me ? will they always love me ? `` or , `` why did they leave ? was it because of me ? or was it their family and their station in life ... that kept them from staying ? `` now , we 're dealing with austen , so , of course , it 's gon na mostly come down to love , like elizabeth and darcy 's love for each other despite his pride and her prejudice . do you see what i did there ? or elinor and edward 's love for each other despite his sister 's machinations . or , as you pointed out , molly , marianne and willoughby 's love for each other was very one - sided ... and broke her heart , nearly killing her ... only for her to return colonel brandon 's love later on . because , see , in austen 's world , two people rarely discover that they love each other at the same time . student : otherwise , there would be no story . parker : well , that 's a very good point . thank you . but , see , in austen 's world , things always end up okay . love wins . i mean , we should all be so lucky , right ? would n't it be great if we all knew ourselves the way that austen knew her characters ? i mean , if we could give ourselves that second , third , and fourth chance that she always gave them .

[ gasps dramatically ] nelle : they were some pretty big mistakes . kiki : oh , please . i used to set up poker games to scam frat guys . do i have regrets ? eh . nelle : okay , yeah , but you 've obviously been able to move on . carly and her mom are trying to dig up all of this dirt on me from when i was broke , younger , and stupid . it 's just making me sick . kiki : here 's my advice : when carly finds something on you , just be honest about it . tell michael . michael will listen . you just have to be completely honest with him . nelle : i know . kiki : carly would do anything for him . even get along with you . nelle : here 's hoping .

[ scene_break ] lulu : since we have a minute alone together ... valentin : we seem to be enjoying a momentary truce . you sure you want to ruin it with whatever you 're gon na say ? lulu : this is n't about what separates us . it 's about what binds us . valentin : charlotte ? lulu : like it or not , we 're both her parents . and if this custody case goes the way i want it to -- valentin : you 're gon na be her sole parent . lulu : despite what happened with nikolas , i want you to know that i respect the fact that you are charlotte 's father . you will always have visitation . she will know you as her father . valentin : and what will dante be ? lulu : dante will be her stepfather , father figure , whatever . you are her `` papa . `` valentin : thank you for acknowledging that . lulu : and since this will be our situation , i ... think it 's important for me to know more about you . to understand how you physically became the man you are today . valentin : are you looking for dirt to use against me ? lulu : i did n't realize this was some deep , dark secret . valentin : i underwent a series of expensive surgeries ... that were not without discomfort . but the results were worth it . i was able to stand up straight for the first time in my life . lulu : were you ever scared that charlotte might ... valentin : yeah , i was scared . but if she did have scoliosis , i would bring her here , where she could receive the finest care . charlotte : papa ! do you know when bailey will be finished ? there 's a really cool playroom . valentin : well , i do n't know . but i do know that the doctors want to check her very carefully . charlotte : this is a really fun place . is it like the place where you went when you had scoliosis ? valentin : no . no , no , no , no , no , no . i wish i 'd been able to come here , because i know they would have taken very good care of me . hey , listen , i want to get a present for bailey , but i do n't know what she 's gon na want . can you help me with it ? [ elevator bell dings ] valentin : 'cause i was thinking , if it was a grown - up , we could get her flowers . but i do n't think she 's ... lulu : i ca n't believe you 're here ! valentin : hey . lulu : mm . valentin : how 's , uh -- how 's bailey ? lulu : the doctor 's still examining her . what is it ? valentin : i think you need to know something about valentin . lulu : what has he done now ? valentin : i think he got to ava . lulu : got to her how ? valentin : sounds like he convinced her to recant her statement about seeing him kill nikolas .

jax : i 'm sorry , sister . i -- i do n't know what to say . nun : oh , for shame , father . jax : yeah , it was a mistaken case of identity -- nun : do not try to -- to justify reprehensible behavior . i -- i stand here appalled and dismayed , and i -- i ca n't think of one single reason why i should n't have you brought in front of the provincial for a disciplinary hearing . ahem . jax : this might take the sting off it a little . i 'm -- i 'm not actually a priest . nun : really ? jax : yeah . nun : then you 're a -- a predator . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , what i found out does n't really matter . it 's just that you were right all along . i never had a father . i do n't miraculously have one now . bobbie : but you know something . so , come on , carly , share it . after all these years , do n't you think i deserve to know the name of the stranger who fathered my daughter ? [ scene_break ] john : you 're sure ? steven : yeah , the d.n.a . results are definitive . you 've been excluded as a match . carly 's not your daughter . john : what about the samples you ran in new york ? they indicate some sort of blood relationship between me and carly . steven : well , i told you at the time that those results were preliminary , and you may very well be a distant relative of carly 's , second or third cousin . but the fact remains -- she 's not your daughter , so you ca n't use her to go after sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : i just want what 's best for my child . i do n't -- sam : it is my child , too , sonny ! that 's what i 'm trying to -- jason : stop ! this has to end ! sonny : then end it now ! get her to sign the damn papers ! jason : sam , you need to listen . sam : do n't do this to me , jason . jason : now , you do n't have to sign anything you do n't want to . [ scene_break ] jax : despite appearances to the contrary , i 'm not a pervert . nun : oh . jax : i 'm fully dressed under this thing . see ? nun : oh . oh -- um -- well , you said that you could explain , and i 'm willing to listen to you . jax : well , the woman i mentioned ? courtney . nun : mm - hmm ? jax : she 's driven me to distraction . i have n't been able to act rationally for quite some time now . mostly when i 'm -- when i 'm around her , which , you know -- it drives me to crazy measures like this . the lady gives me no choice . you see , she was hurt badly in a previous relationship , and you know what they say -- `` once bitten , twice shy . `` well , that 's what they say , and , anyway , she -- she 's fighting her feelings for me . that 's why she came here -- to hide from her feelings that she has for me . nun : but your personal feelings for this girl do n't give you the right to try and tempt her away from her sacred vows . jax : oh , no , no , no , no . no , she has n't taken any vows . i mean , you know , she is n't no -- she 's no more a nun than i am a priest . she 's doing exactly what i said she 's doing -- she 's hiding here . so i 'm going to take her home . so , we 're just two people fumbling our way down the path to romance . so have a heart , sister -- for the cause of what could be true love by looking the other way , and i promise the both of us will be out of your hair -- and your wimple . nun : well -- um -- i 've been distracted from my evening prayers too long , and if you happen to leave while my back is turned , i 'll forget tonight ever happened . jax : bless you , sister . nun : oh -- [ scene_break ] faith : you got a smudge . skye : hey -- get away from me ! faith : i was just trying to help . skye : yeah , well , i 've been bathing myself for years . i do n't need any help , especially yours . faith : why do you have to be so hostile ? skye : because i ca n't stand you . faith : well , you know what ? that was on the outside when you had a choice . now we 're going to be stuck in this tiny , little cell together for who knows how long . i thought we were starting to develop a level of trust . skye : hmm . whatever gave you that idea ? faith : gee , maybe the -- the hole that we 've been digging out of this place ? skye : no , that would be the lack of choice you mentioned , not a bonding experience . you 're blackmailing me . i have no choice but to cooperate with you . it does n't mean i want to be girlfriends . faith : then how about being my bitch ? skye : what ? faith : look , we have got some long , lonely nights ahead of us . why not make the best of the situation ? frankly , i kind of like the idea . it 's exciting , and , you know , i 've always kind of been drawn to you . skye : my god , you really are insane . faith : you know that whole ice princess thing ? it screams passionate nature dying to get out . we both have needs . how about we help each other fill them ? [ scene_break ] john : no . no , it does not add up . why would a mobster 's wife approach me , of all people , a man whose entire life is dedicated to wiping organized crime off the map ? and why was she so curious about my family ? steven : she might 've been on a fishing expedition for her husband . and you 've always been high profile , so sonny 's going to know who you are . and he 's got to realize that eventually he 's going to make it to the top of your hit list , so he could 've decided to do a preemptive strike by sending his very attractive wife to pump you for personal information which he could use should the need arise . john : plausible . but not likely . he 'd never send his wife -- the mother of his children -- as a spy . steven : you would . john : corinthos is n't me . he 'd want women and children off the boat first , always . no . no , something 's off . i want you to stay very close to carly . if she 's not my daughter , i want to know more than ever why she tracked me down . [ scene_break ] carly : i admit -- i mean , finding my father filled every romantic notion that i have . long - lost daughter and father are reunited , and daughter finds that missing piece and she becomes whole . and love surmounts all obstacles . bobbie : hmm . why are we like that ? carly : well , sonny says it 's because we read too many fairy tales at too young an age , and so we buy into that whole prince charming thing so much that we forget to notice the old crones , you know , that eat the children for dinner . i do n't know . anyway , it 's just -- the more i thought about it , the more it slapped me in the face . i do not think it could work , you know ? even if my father had a place for me in his life , i certainly do n't have one for him , you know , because of sonny 's business . we ca n't risk letting strangers in . i mean , what if my father turned out to be not such a nice guy , and he tried to blackmail sonny or he tried to exploit my relationship with him in some way ? bobbie : i think you 're right . and it may be painful to give up your dream , but getting to know your father could have a devastating effect down the line . carly : yeah . besides , you know , i do n't need to reach out to strangers . i have all the family that i need right here . [ scene_break ] sonny : this is what i 'm trying to avoid -- arguments , misunderstandings . i want this over before the baby is born . can you just sign the papers , sam ? jason : sonny , that 's her decision . sonny : sam is my daughter 's mother . i intend to do what 's best for both of them . right now that means finalizing the agreement , jason . jason : how is it an agreement if you keep ordering her to sign the papers ? sonny : why are you putting yourself in the middle of this ? this is my child ! jason : i am in the middle of this ! sam : stop it , both of you , please ! i do not want you fighting over me or this baby . it is enough now . jason : ok , sam , i just need a second , ok ? [ door opens and closes ] jason : sonny , do n't you get this ? if you keep pushing sam , she 's going to run . that 's her first instinct . she could hurt herself and the baby just trying to get away from you . [ scene_break ] skye : ugh ! what the hell is wrong with you ? faith : why are you so uptight ? what 's a little kiss between cellmates ? skye : hey , listen , whatever floats your boat is fine . that 's none of my business , all right , but i happen to like men , so just get it out of your mind , all right ? faith : where 's your sense of adventure ? who knows ? you might have a life- altering experience . i 've been told i 'm very capable . skye : hey ! faith : guard ! guard ! skye : hey ! what are you screaming about ? faith : guard ! skye : i 'm the one being molested here ! faith : help ! i need help in here ! skye : you snake ! you want me thrown in solitary so you can take advantage of that tunnel that i 've been busting my butt for months to dig . faith : brilliant , is n't it ? guard -- skye : you shut up right now , you hear me ? there 's no way i 'm going to let you get away with this ! faith : the only way that you 're going to get away with it is if you tell him about that tunnel , and i do n't see that happening . skye : oh , yeah ? try me . faith : guard ! guard ! skye : hey ! hey ! officer : now what 's going on in here ? both : she assaulted me !

[ scene_break ] steven : hey . why 'd you call me back here ? john : just made an interesting discovery . i wanted to share it with you . see the redhead in there ? name is barbara jean spencer . last time i saw her was 29 years ago in florida . she was a prostitute . i was her best customer . you know what else ? steven : what ? john : she has a 28-year - old daughter . care to guess her name ? do n't worry ; i 'll spare you the mental effort . carly corinthos . wow . one hell of a coincidence , huh ? i mean , it has to be a coincidence , right , because you stood here not more than an hour ago and you told me that carly was not my daughter . steven : i lied . carly corinthos is your daughter . [ scene_break ] carly : sonny ? sonny : yeah ? carly : i think we have a problem , and i 'm not sure how big . it could be huge . sonny : well , you better tell me . carly : i have n't been honest with you . you know john durant , the federal prosecutor from manhattan ? sonny : what about him ? carly : i think he 's my father . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , you 're a lot more devious than i imagined . a sister hiding out in a convent ? courtney : you are in no position to talk , jax . not only did you impersonate a priest , but you violated the sanctity of the confessional . jax : oh , so you knew that i was on the other side of the screen ? you just decided to go along with it , huh ? courtney : uh - huh . jax : is that why your confession was so titillating ? you were setting me up . courtney : why do n't you take responsibility for your own actions , jax ? it 's not my fault you pulled some unsuspecting nun into a lip lock . jax : that unsuspecting nun was very understanding , once i explained that you deliberately deceived me . courtney : that 's so not true , jax . i just needed to get away . jax : no , let me explain something to you -- courtney : hmm ? jax : you cheated , ok ? courtney : uh - uh . jax : you 're a cheat . actually , i 'm flattered about that . it means that you 're on the breaking point . it means that , you know , you 're -- you 're barely restraining yourself -- courtney : huh . jax : and you 're going to invite me into your bed anytime and beg me to make love to you . courtney : in your dreams . jax : i do n't know . according to you , that would be in your dreams . see , you 're afraid that you wo n't be able to hold out until the deadline . that 's why you resorted to trickery . courtney : go away . jax : no , no , no , you 're not listening . when we made this bet , we agreed -- we never agreed that you would hide out for three months . we agreed that i would have reasonable access to you -- courtney : hmm . jax : for dating and dancing and kissing . courtney : no , i -- i agreed to one or two kisses , as the occasion warranted . that 's it . jax : well , this one does . [ scene_break ] sam : i am so sorry . if i would 've given it a second thought , i would 've probably known your answer . it 's not my intention to put you in the middle of anything . i 'm lucky enough that you let me even eat here . i 'm not going to push my luck . bobbie : thank you for understanding my position . jason : i thought you might come here . sam : apparently , being pregnant with sonny 's child disqualifies me as a tenant . jason : where are you going to go ? sam : i have n't really thought about that . you got my note ? jason : i really do appreciate what you 're trying to do , but do not leave or stay because of me . sam , you have a tough decision to make , and you need to forget about everything else that has happened , and base it on what 's best for you and the baby , period . [ scene_break ] john : you and i have worked together for years , doc . i trusted you , and i do n't trust anybody . and for all those years we worked together , your work was above reproach . now , two days after meeting carly corinthos , all of a sudden you 're falsifying d.n.a . reports , you 're lying to me about her true identity -- what -- i 'm sorry , did i miss something here ? what is this , love at first sight ? did her gangster husband pay you off ? steven : i lied for you to protect you from violating your own principles . john : well , with all due respect , steve , that 's not your call to make . carly is my daughter , and i had a right to know . steven : and what about carly ? what about her right to tell you if she wants you to know ? [ scene_break ] sonny : are you sure ? how long have you known ? carly : look , i still do n't know for sure . i mean , there is no proof that he 's my father . there 's no d.n.a . that says so , but i just believe it . and i think he suspects it , and that 's why he 's here . sonny : durant 's in port charles ? carly : i just saw him at the hospital . he was asking questions about bobbie . sonny : ok . tell me everything from the beginning . carly : ok , sonny , my first day in manhattan , i -- i looked up a john durant that was in ruby 's ledger . it turned out he was a federal prosecutor . i figured out where he went for drinks , and i found out a way to meet him . i lied to him . i told him i was a law student , and i told him i was writing a book , and -- sonny , right away i realized there was no possible way that this guy could be a father to me , so i left . i went back to the hotel room , and coleman was waiting there for me -- sonny : and he tried to blackmail you ? right ? carly : yeah , and then you showed up . and then coleman left , and then -- and then he came back , and he showed up with that file already all prepared . all i could do was play along . and then when you told me that you realized that durant had an agent bug our room , i thought he was after you , not me . god , sonny , i -- i do n't know how he could have possibly figured out that he could be my father . sonny : did he buy you a drink ? [ scene_break ] courtney : enough . jax : not even close . courtney : no , you 're groping , jax . i distinctly remember you promising you would n't grope . jax : yeah , and you -- and i remember you promising that you would give me a fair chance . courtney : oh , come on . i have been more than fair , jax . i mean -- oh , come on . i 've spent countless , endless evenings in your company . i 've -- i 've flown to europe and the caribbean . i 've put up with all your lame come - ons -- jax : what ? courtney : and i have been pawed within an inch of my life . i need a break . jax : no , you do n't . you need a place to hide or you 're going to lose the bet . every day , it 's harder for you to resist me . courtney : oh , my god . you 're -- you 're relentless , jax , you are . [ jax laughs ] courtney : ok , fine , fine . you 're right . you 're right , i want you . jax : ah . courtney : i want you . i have erotic dreams about you at night . jax : i know . courtney : i have fantasies about you during the day . everything that i said in that confessional was true . jax : i know . courtney : it is . i melt every time you touch me . but none of that matters because i will not be making love to you . jax : why is winning so important to you ? courtney : oh , no , no , uh - uh -- jax : no , really , seriously , why -- courtney : no , no , that would be you , jax , that would be you . seriously . i mean , you 're the one -- you 're the one who wants to win at any cost . you know it , too . i see it over and over . jax : really ? courtney : the quest is everything for you . and then the competition is over , and then you 're on to the next new thing . ok , i 'll admit , i 've never -- i 've never met anyone like you , jax , ok ? you 're -- you 're amazing , all right ? every sane woman would want you . i mean , you 're -- you 're handsome , you 're sexy , you 're fun . i mean , you 're caring and considerate , and on top of it , you 're filthy rich . jax : i 'm not hearing a problem . courtney : oh . look , i 'm sure -- i 'm sure sleeping with you would be a transcendent experience . jax : ah . courtney : but it 's the morning after that i ca n't wrap my head around . somehow , i think i wo n't be as fascinating to you once i 'm no longer out of reach . jax : you really underestimate yourself , you know that ? sure , you 've been a challenge , but you 're also beautiful . i mean , you came into my life and you lit up all the dark places . you made me feel again . you really did that . so i do n't think that i will be walking away from this anytime soon . and i promise you , if we make love , it wo n't be the end . it will be a new beginning for both of us . jax : what was that for ? courtney : i 'm sorry . you -- i do n't trust you , jax , and right now , i really -- i do n't trust myself . [ scene_break ] jason : if you think it 's better for you and the baby to move on , you 're not going to have to depend on sonny 's money . i 'm going to give you whatever you need . but if you decide to go the other way , and , you know , you want to keep peace with sonny by signing the paper , i 'm not going to try to talk you out of it , sam . sam : no , jason , the last thing i want to do is sign sonny 's paper . but if i refuse , he 's going to blame you . jason : look , i already told you , you do n't have to worry about me . sam : oh , i 'm sorry , but i ca n't help it . sonny can be lethal , and nothing puts fire in his eyes more than battling over one of his children . he might even put you in a dangerous situation , and if you got hurt -- or god forbid , killed -- i would never be able to forgive myself , and i do n't think sonny would be able to forgive himself , either . he ca n't see past his own paranoia right now , and he 's being arbitrary and mean , probably over the guilt of getting me pregnant in the first place , but that is about me . it has nothing to do with you . jason : i 'm loyal to sonny , but that does not mean that i ca n't see when he 's wrong , sam . and right now , he 's not being fair to you . and i 'd like to be . ok ? so whatever you need for this baby , just to have this baby in peace , i want to give it to you . even , you know , if that means me keeping my distance . is that what you want ? [ scene_break ] steven : do you think it 's right or ethical for a man to use his own child ? because that 's what you told me you were going to do if carly turned out to be your daughter . you said you were going to use her to get evidence against sonny . john : oh , come on , kid . we 're not talking about a 5-year - old girl in bobby socks here . we 're talking about carly corinthos , a grown woman who , by the way , happens to have profited greatly from her husband 's illegal business activities . steven : she is your flesh and blood . that bond is sacred . it 's to be treasured and honored , not abused or exploited . i know what i 'm talking about . i have a mother straight out of hell . and from the day i was born , she used me to extort money to manipulate my father . i was a pawn to her , and i despise her for it . it 's a terrible feeling to hate your parent , and i certainly wish better for you . carly may seem like an easy way into the biggest win of your career , but she is your only child . if you disrespect that connection , you 're going to lose her forever . [ scene_break ] sonny : john durant is a federal prosecutor . he has access to state - of - the - art forensics . probably had your glass analyzed . once you were identified , he did a background check , right , which gave him all the information he needed -- where you live , who your husband is , who your mother is . once he saw bobbie 's name , he probably , you know , ordered a d.n.a . test . carly : sonny , why do i feel violated all of a sudden ? oh , my god ! sonny : let me tell you something . if this guy is your father , he is a cold and calculating man . you can not lose sight of that because everything we hold sacred would be wrecked . carly : i just opened the door to a man who means you nothing but harm . sonny : not intentionally . but at least -- you know , at least you 're telling me now , right ? why do n't you help me understand why you lied to me ? carly : because i did n't want what is about to happen . i did n't want you and my father to be mortal enemies .

[ scene_break ] carly : when i found out that john durant was a federal prosecutor , i assumed there was no way that we could have a father / daughter relationship , but i wanted to look into his eyes . i just wanted to hear his voice . sonny : it must 've been hard not to say anything . carly : sonny , i was n't going to risk the family that i have with you for some fantasy connection with a man who did n't even know that i existed . sonny : you should 've told me . carly : i know . i know that now . i just wish i 'd never put this whole thing in motion . sonny : well , there 's nothing wrong with , you know , wanting to know where you come from . carly : you 're not mad at me ? sonny : look , i can kind of see why you chose not to tell me the truth . i know it -- you know , it was probably hard and it -- at least you 're coming clean with me now . carly : sonny , it 's not hard . this is easy . there is no way that i am going to let john durant , now that he 's here and obviously a threat , put you in danger because i 'm keeping a secret . sonny : you 're not worried about your father ? carly : i do n't know him . i 'm worried about you .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm not denying that i still love lucky . i just ca n't live with him . and i do n't -- i do n't want this to blow up into a personal vendetta against you . especially when lucky 's not in his right mind . so maybe if you can just steer clear of him until all of this settles -- jason : lucky -- he 's not going to hurt me . you 're a different story . you and your child . how is cameron dealing with all this ? elizabeth : cameron is -- he 's confused . he does n't understand why his daddy is not there . he loves him . i just ca n't believe my family has ended up like this . jason : all right , what if -- what if lucky got clean ? elizabeth : he tried that and it did n't work . jason : it does n't always work the first time . elizabeth : nikolas is -- he found this rehab facility . he 's trying to get lucky in it , but he wo n't go . so i guess that means the pills are more important than me and cameron . so i 've decided that protecting my son is more important than supporting a man who is willing to throw his life away .

carly : yeah , i do . johnny told me everything . britt : ready for our little adventure ? patrick : adventure ? really ? i thought we were just going for dinner . i guess we can go bowling , if you want . go bowling . britt : oh , well , careful what you wish for . i 'm a fierce competitor . lucky for you , i just got a manicure . patrick : wow . that 's very nice . but , i guess , yeah . let 's start with dinner . we 'll just see what happens . britt : oh , no , dinner 's perfect . it 'll give us a chance to talk and get to know one another . patrick : that 's great . britt : i 'm really looking forward to it . patrick : perfect . that 's all doable . um -- i got to go get my daughter some dinner and the babysitter , so i 'll just pick you up later . britt : i 'll be here . patrick : okay . and you -- make sure you have a little fun before you hit the books , okay ? sabrina : dr. drake is just so nice . britt : charming , handsome , even knows how to bowl . what 's not to like ? mcbain : i read webber 's file . i know she caused you a lot of grief . anna : oh , not just me . she caused grief to a lot of people . mcbain : does spencer know she 's out ? anna : luke and i are not in touch . mcbain : do you think she might go after him ? anna : i do n't know . i doubt it . no , i mean , he 's out of the country . she would n't have the first clue where to look for him . mcbain : okay . you need anything , i 'm here . anna : yeah . what , here ? in the floating rib ? you 're here ? mcbain : here . welcome to my office . i 'm meeting someone . anna : you are ? someone you do n't trust very much ? you 're packing ? mcbain : can never be too cautious these days . anna : this person a threat ? mcbain : jason morgan -- you never know . jason : spinelli . hey , you there ? spinelli : apologies . i -- i will keep in touch . thanks . sam : hi . spinelli : hi . i -- i did n't hear you come in . did you pick the lock ? sam : [ chuckles ] no , i still have a key . spinelli : oh . sam : what 's all this ? spinelli : oh ! uh -- sam : kirschenbaum 's ? they have a baby ? spinelli : no , no , no , no , they do n't . just , uh -- it 's just another case . sam : so we have a new client . spinelli : no ! no . i mean , i do . uh -- i mean , it 's not really a client . it 's more of a friend 's , you know -- not -- not official . just long - lost relative stuff . nothing you need to worry about ? sam : really ? nothing i can do to help ? spinelli : no , no , no ! i got it . i 'm just happy to see you here . dare i hope that you 're here for a reconciliation or at least to talk to your husband ? sam : um -- actually , i came to , um -- drop off these to jason . spinelli : divorce papers ? steve : hey . i pulled tea delgado 's file . the baby has type - o blood . jason : so he could be sam 's son . steve : it 's not an uncommon blood type . in and of itself , it does n't prove anything . jason : was there anything else in the records , anything that looked out of the ordinary ? steve : baby showed signs of an iron deficiency , and i told ms . delgado that he could be at risk for beta thalassemia , which is a blood disorder commonly found in people of mediterranean descent . jason : right . i know what that is because it was in sam 's baby 's file because of the cassadine family . steve : it 's not a rare disorder . jason : delgado ? that sounds hispanic . steve : puerto rican . jason : is ms . delgado a carrier of hemophilia ? do you know ? steve : why ? jason : because the baby that is n't sam 's had hemophilia , had undeveloped lungs , and had a blood type that 's not compatible with sam 's . but this baby -- ms . delgado 's baby had sam 's blood type and a genetic condition that goes along with sam 's family . steve : i know where you 're going with this . jason : it all adds up . sam 's baby 's alive . todd : johnny told you what ? carly : the truth . todd : johnny and truth are mutually exclusive . johnny : no , that would be you . i 'm not gon na lie to the woman i love . todd : oh , of course not . todd : how cliché . you know , `` the woman i love -- `` he 's giving his love away that easily , he 's probably giving it to someone else . carly : did you come here to criticize our relationship ? todd : what relationship ? it 's an exercise in delusion . i know you do n't like the guy . carly : i do n't want you upsetting johnny . he 's been shot . todd : no , of course not . florence nightingale . i know you feel obligated because he almost died , but you do n't have to . he 's not worth it . you have no idea what johnny 's capable of . johnny : i did tell her everything , todd . todd : really ? johnny : yeah . told her everything . i told her how i did n't have the $ 18 million sitting around for jerry 's ransom , so i took a loan from one of anthony 's old associates . todd : right . this is the guy -- that you want to spend your time with . he swears up and down how he 's changed -- blah , blah , blah -- and the first bump in the road , he mobs up . carly : because he did n't have $ 18 million lying around to pay for jerry 's ransom ? todd : you do n't make that kind of money slinging drinks at the haunted star ? carly : that 's not your problem , and you do n't get to torture johnny anymore . johnny : no , it 's okay , carly . todd knows that if tortures me , i have a tendency to torture back . is n't that right ? britt : i have some more for you . i have to shower and change . do n't want to keep patrick waiting . sabrina : of course . britt : can you do something with these ? they just came for mrs. cohen . she left yesterday . maybe they 'll want them in oncology . sabrina : right . do n't keep patrick waiting . britt : what are you thinking ? not there . sabrina : oh , sorry , miss . these are a gift from master drake . i want them on display when he arrives . [ sighs ] have you laid out my dress ? sabrina : [ grunts ] yes , miss . britt : the blue voile from paris ? sabrina : no . miss , you said you wanted the yellow one with the -- britt : you stupid girl ! you pressed the wrong gown ? ! sabrina : i 'm sorry , miss . i 'll have the blue ready in just a moment . patrick : ah , there you are . i was told i might find you here . britt : oh , patrick . forgive me . this awful girl does n't have my dress ready . i really must speak to mommy about her . patrick : no need . she 'll be leaving with me . sabrina : i am ? patrick : of course you are . if you wish it . britt : you ca n't be serious . patrick : my carriage awaits . britt : do n't you dare ! sabrina ! sabrina , are you feeling all right ? sabrina : sorry ? britt : i was just talking to you . where did you go ? maxie : you did a fabulous , if not unexpected , job catering jason and sam 's wedding and now my once and hopefully future boss would like chinese at her wedding , as well . who am i to argue ? however , you will not charge me the a la carte price . we need to talk wholesale here . i 'm not having you pad the bill . mr. yi : dr. drake , your order 's ready . excuse me . maxie : thanks . i had him right where i wanted him . patrick : why are you being so hard on the poor guy ? maxie : there 's nothing poor about mr. yi . do you know what he charges per egg roll ? patrick : yeah , i just ordered four of them for you and emma . plus , i got you some chicken salad , some moo shu pork , some kung pao chicken . you do n't have to look at me that way if you do n't finish it . just put it in the fridge . maxie : right . because i am supposed to babysit tonight . patrick : yes , maxie , 'cause i texted you yesterday , remember ? and then you texted me back saying `` no problem . `` maxie : i did , and it was n't a problem yesterday , but today -- oh , patrick , i 'm so sorry . i 'm gon na have to bail . spinelli : you and jason have reached the point of irreconcilable differences ? sam : my mother drew up the papers . i was thinking diane should probably look them over , and then jason could sign then . spinelli : well , i ca n't help but notice that you delivered the papers in person , which does , indeed , indicate a desire to see your husband while he 's still your husband . sam : no , spinelli , it indicates that i was in the neighborhood and it was easier for me to drop the papers off here than have my mother send over a messenger . spinelli : that 's plausible , but i cry foul on your explanation . i think you 're lying . i mean , if not to me , at least to yourself . you came here hoping for a chance meeting that would lead to a reconciliation . sam : what are you doing ? spinelli : i 'm calling your husband . sam : no , you are not , spinelli . that is not fair . you ca n't put him on the spot like that . spinelli : so you still care about his feelings ! sam : spinelli , stop it ! please ! i know you care about both of us , but jason and i agreed that we ca n't hurt each other any more , so we 're gon na move on . spinelli : but -- but you 're sam and jason . you overcome all odds . you 're the dragon and the phoenix . i - if you two ca n't make , what hope is there for the rest of us ? anna : you 're meeting jason here ? why ? mcbain : i do n't know . morgan set it up . anna : may i ask how things stand between you and sam ? mcbain : they stand nowhere . she 's going through a divorce . anna : well , relationships are complex at the best of times . we make them fall apart for all kinds of reasons . that being said , you did put yourself in the middle of a marriage and paid attention to the wife and -- arguably , you 're the wedge that broke them apart . mcbain : that 's true . that was n't very nice of me , was it ? anna : yeah , i 'm not standing in judgment . good lord . i have messed up pretty much every relationship i 've ever been in . all i 'm pointing out is that you made a dangerous man angry . and i know that you 're totally capable of danger in your own right . but jason -- he 's considered lethal for a reason . [ door closes ] mcbain : we 're gon na play nice . i promise . besides , you have to find heather webber . anna : be careful . hey , jason . um -- i just -- i do n't have to remind you about a conversation we had the first day that i was police commissioner , about you respecting the law and me taking you down if you do n't ? jason : how could i forget ? anna : good . jason : any news on heather ? anna : no , not yet . why ? did you have a run - in with her ? jason : uh , no , not me . sam . anna : well , we all want her captured -- and put away where she ca n't do any more damage , do n't we ? i 'll let you know if there 's any news . heather : my real name ? come on . heather webber ! you got it ! good boy ! and your real mommy is samantha morgan . but , well -- she thinks you 're dead . wrong . and she thinks franco 's your daddy . wrong again . see , jason morgan 's your real daddy , but he 'll never know . because i switched the results of the dna test . but do n't worry . you 're better off . they just did n't deserve you . i mean , jason and sam as parents ? no . who wants that ? besides , it 'll be better off with me . 'cause , you see , i need a do - over . you 're gon na be my brand - new steven lars -- and i 'm gon na be the best mommy in the whole wide world . mcbain : what are we doing here ? jason : it 's about sam . mcbain : let 's hear it . jason : i think sam 's little boy is alive -- and living in llanview . maxie : well , now that kate is sane again , or close enough , i 'm hoping she could get crimson up and running -- you know , turning a profit -- that is , if todd manning lets her , which i 'm sure he will . i mean , he 's a successful guy , and crimson is an a - list publication . we were building circulation until kate had her meltdown . patrick : what does this have to do with you not being able to babysit tonight ? maxie : oh , well , i 'm hoping that kate will reinstate me as her personal assistant , and sonny called today and asked -- actually , it was more like ordered . you know how sonny is . anyway , i 'm planning sonny and kate 's wedding . so i showed up at his house today completely prepared , and kate shot down all my ideas . she said i needed to think more fun , which actually she means i need to think more tacky , but , you know , it 's kate 's wedding . she can have what she wants . patrick : and ? maxie : and i have to find a space for the bachelorette party . she specified she wants a dive bar . the way things are going , she probably wants the reception held at a bowling alley . and she wants chinese . i mean , this place is kind of haute chinua . maybe kate 's onto something . but pulling off a wedding by october 2nd ? i mean , that 's gon na take a miracle . patrick : which is why you ca n't babysit tonight . maxie : i 'm really sorry , patrick . i could find you a babysitter or something . patrick : it 's okay , maxie . it 's okay . i do n't have to go on a date . it 's really not a big deal . maxie : date ? you were gon na go on a date ? britt : sabrina , we were having a conversation , remember ? sabrina : sorry . i was daydreaming . britt : well , i need you to focus . i ca n't leave for my date if i do n't know my paperwork 's been handled . sabrina : your date . i remember . britt : there 's another stack in my office . and when you finish -- sabrina : press your scrubs ? will you be wearing the yellow or the blue , miss ? britt : i was going to say refill the hand sanitizer . strange girl . [ elevator bell dings ] anna : oh , steve . steve . steve : what can i do for you ? anna : yes . i understand you were quite the hero during this whole jerry jacks disaster . steve : all i did was run the e.r . and since i doubt you 're here to pin a medal on me , this must be about my mother . anna : yeah . it is . heather 's been at large for more than 72 hours . steve : i already spoke to the deputies . i told them that i have n't spoken with her since she left ferncliff . anna : did she give you a sense at all of her plans ? steve : commissioner , if i knew she was planning to escape , you 'd be my first call . anything else ? anna : no . i understand why you 're angry i do . steve : i 'm frustrated . i 'm appalled , actually , mostly by the staff at ferncliff . i mean , how could they let her escape ? and where has she gone ? she 's without resources . my mother has no money , she has no one to turn to . anna : there 's still her former boss . todd : carly , i 'm glad you 're here . i 've been meaning to tell you something . i had dinner at the hotel restaurant the other day . i had the chicken marsala . really salty . carly : goodbye , todd . todd : have dinner with me . yeah . come on . i want to have dinner with you . that way , you know , if the staff is there , they 'll probably be paying better attention . carly : i 'm here with johnny . todd : you could get a nurse . i 'm a really good customer . would n't want me to take my business elsewhere , would you ? johnny : i would . carly : do n't engage . todd : carly 's right . you 're very fragile . you might pop a stitch and bleed to death . that 'd be awful . johnny : carly , can you do me a favor ? there 's some tea -- in the kitchen -- in the cabinet to the left , above the stove . will you make me some , please ? carly : tea . todd : it 's very restorative . carly : do n't upset him . johnny : you idiot . you almost blew it for both of us . todd : i agreed to keep my mouth shut about what you done , you child - killing son of a bitch , but i refuse to like you . if you even think about telling carly what i 've done , i will expose you so quickly -- johnny : nobody 's gon na hear about you switching those babies from me , all right ? todd : we have a problem . someone else could open her mouth . jason : records indicate that the baby 's blood type was ab - negative . sam and franco are both o - positive . they could n't be that baby 's parents . mcbain : is it possible the m.e . entered the wrong blood type on the form ? jason : no , sam donated the baby 's tissue . it was still in the lab . the ab- negative is confirmed . so the child who died that night is not sam 's . could n't have been . mcbain : okay , what else you got ? jason : lungs were n't developed . autopsy report said he could n't have lived even if he was on a ventilator , and the baby that you delivered that night in the motel was strong , it was crying out and breathing perfectly . mcbain : breathing perfectly . it always bothered me that he got so sick so fast . jason : sam was always regular with her prenatal screenings . everything showed that that baby was perfectly healthy -- no indications of a lung problem or hemophilia . the baby that died that night had both . and then you throw in the fact that the blood type does not match , it could n't have been that child . mcbain : so how did they get switched ? jason : well , we know sam left the motel . she wandered out into the woods , she found the garden shed , she put the baby down , she went inside looking for help , and she passed out . now , as close as i can figure it , she was unconscious anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes . mcbain : 45 minutes ? that 's your window of opportunity that someone could have taken her son . jason : heather had access to that shack . it 's where she held luke spencer prisoner . mcbain : that was later , though . spencer was in custody that night . jason : heather was n't . a cop pulled heather over on route 59 near mile marker 13 . it 's the road closest to that shack . she had a passenger -- what turned out to be anthony zacchara 's corpse . she buried anthony about a hundred yards from that shack . mcbain : okay . so heather was out there , right ? jason : right , yes . mcbain : without another infant , you ca n't make your theory work . jason : steve webber treated a ms . tea delgado and her newborn son the night of the storm . she had her baby at a bus stop on route 59 -- not far from that shack , and when the baby was born , he was n't breathing . the man with ms . delgado took her son and went looking for help . mcbain : manning . todd manning . todd : loco - for - luke heather webber knows all about the baby switch because it was her idea ! i only went along with it because i was in shock and because she lied to me -- a lie of omission . she neglected to tell me that sam actually wanted to keep her child . johnny : oh , please stop . there 's no excuse for what you did . but , see , lucky for you , it does n't matter 'cause heather is certifiable and locked up at ferncliff . todd : she 's escaped . she could tell her story to anyone . johnny : well , it looks like you got yourself a little problem then . todd : no , johnny . my problems are your problems . sam : spinelli , you know i love you and so does jason . you 're our best friend . spinelli : and you know i 'd do anything for you , both as individuals and as a couple , which you are clearly meant to be . sam : yes , i know , and that is the problem . spinelli : what do you mean ? sam : well , it 's just that there 's a point where your devotion to all things sam and jason , it just -- it becomes a little unfair . i was n't aware i 'd caused you any grief . i 'm sorry . sam : it 's just that jason and i are human . we make mistakes . we mess up . we fail . and i think that you put us on this pedestal and make us live up to these certain expectations , and it 's just not realistic , and you 're only setting yourself up for disappointment . spinelli : so should i ask less of people and that will , in turn , make me happier ? i 'm sorry . this is n't about me and my expectations . but the truth is , you love jason , and he loves you , and , yes , you 've had your share of difficulties , but -- you still may yet prevail . sam , you deserve a happy ending . sam : [ scoffs ] spinelli : and it may not happen overnight , but just -- do n't give up on jason -- not now , not a minute before the miracle . sam : wh -- what do you mean ? what miracle ? spinelli : well , love . love -- love is a miracle . a - and it will -- it will grace you yet again . just , you got to give it time . sam : i 'm sorry , spinelli . it 's just that jason and i have put this divorce off long enough . spinelli : okay , well , then , what 's one more day ? sam : why are you pushing this so hard ? what 's so important about today ? spinelli : do you need to ask ? it 's your anniversary . sam : [ sighs ] i know . i know . and i did n't plan it this way . i just want to be able to move on and put it all behind me . the same way you moved on from maxie . maxie : patrick , i 'm sorry that i messed this up for you . patrick : can i get another fortune cookie for emma , please , mr. yi ? mr. yi : my pleasure . maxie : if you had only told me it was a date . patrick : i did n't want to make it a big deal . maxie : it is a big deal . it 's important . what were you planning on wearing on this date , by the way ? patrick : i was going to wear this . and now that i 'm going home to sit on a couch with emma and eat chinese food , i 'm actually overdressed . maxie : no , i will go home and hang out with emma , okay ? this could be your first chance at getting a new life . patrick : it 's not a big deal . i was gon na have dinner with a colleague and get to know each other a little bit and maybe , you know , in a little bit of a bonus , find a new friend . maxie : that could be good . and maybe your new - friend karma would rub off on me . patrick : why ? what 's the problem with you ? maxie : spinelli is still refusing to be my friend . patrick : got to give him a little bit of time . maxie : are you sure you do n't want me to go hang out with emma ? patrick : no . honestly , i 'm kind of relieved . i have n't been on a date in a really long time , and i 'm a little bit out of practice , so , um -- yeah , starting to feel pretty nervous about it . but now i do n't have to . anna : do you know why todd manning would have hired your mother as a columnist ? steve : i always thought it was strange . my mother was never a writer . anna : yeah . it 's not the first time that he 's gone out of his way for her . you know , when we picked her up , be put in a position where i have police scrutiny . and normally , believe me , i can talk myself out of almost anything . but i might be put in a position where i have to give the police something that they want in exchange for my freedom , and that would be you . johnny : thought we had a deal . todd : all deals are negotiable , and lucky for you , this one is still fluid . todd : i just need to know if i can count on you where heather webber is involved . johnny : okay . well , if connie threatens to squeal instead of heather , can i count on you ? todd : what 's going on with connie ? johnny : do we have a deal ? carly : what do you mean `` deal `` ? sam : i 've always wanted you and maxie to make it . but it turns out that you were n't right for each other . and i 've accepted that . and you know what , spinelli , i 'm proud of you 'cause you were able to move on . now jason and i , we have to do the same thing . spinelli : but you 're mistaken . jason has n't moved on . sam : i saw jason with elizabeth on his birthday . she threw him a private birthday party . spinelli : you 're misunderstanding . elizabeth is helping jason -- sam : no , i am not . they were kissing , spinelli . and it was mutual . you know what ? it 's -- it 's fine . it 's fine , because i 'm getting a divorce . it 's okay . spinelli : please believe me . jason 's doing everything he can to make up for what he did . sam : i have already forgiven jason for what happened with the baby . our -- our problems , they run deeper than that . spinelli , you just -- you 've got to accept that we 're over . spinelli : well , in point of fact , i do n't , and nor do i have to watch you serve these papers to jason . sam , you have a right to your feelings , but -- you 're making a mistake . sam : jason and i agreed that we were n't gon na hurt each other any more . spinelli : a year ago today , you and jason stood in the courtyard behind a noodle buddha and exchanged vows . you swore to try to make it work till death do you part . you can at least give it one more day . mcbain : tea gives birth , there 's a problem with the baby , and she hands him off to todd . jason : and heather 's in the woods around that same time burying anthony . mcbain : okay . so heather , todd , and sam , they all converge on the shack , and the babies are switched . all right . see , that 's where i have a problem with , you know , manning , webber , yes . there 's no way tea 's involved in this . jason : maybe she did n't know about it . mcbain : tea did say that todd took off with the baby , and she did n't meet up with him until later , when the baby started breathing on his own . jason : yeah , exactly . it 's not her baby . mcbain : manning . he owed tea . he owed tea for killing her husband . you know , he would have done anything , including stealing someone else 's baby , to guarantee her a healthy child . but where does heather webber fit in on this ? jason : well , according to tea delgado , manning ran into a good samaritan -- an unidentified woman who performed cpr and got the baby breathing . mcbain : heather webber . well , that explains her interaction with manning -- you know , him giving her a job at the sun and all the legal support . ' course , we ca n't talk to heather . she escaped from ferncliff . heather : there 's just one problem -- todd manning . he used to live here in llanview , and then he killed his brother . that 's who tea thinks is your daddy . you see , the deal is , todd tried to call tea last week . i managed to erase the message , but sooner or later , he 's gon na get through . and then tea 's gon na tell him about her marvelous new nanny . and then he 's gon na tell her -- that i am not actually susan moore , and then we 're gon na have a problem . so , here 's what i 'm thinking . while tea 's stuck in court , you and i are gon na take a little trip . what do you say ? road trip ?

[ sighs ] ... takes care of things for important people . and ... sure enough , he roped me into some of his more shadier operations . i could have said no , but i did n't . the money was good , and i needed it to support my daughter . i just kept on making compromise after compromise , and it felt like i was selling my soul . but i finally decided to turn my life around , to walk away from that world . but he would n't let me go . and when he found out that i had a child , he threatened her . nathan : but you had n't told him about her ? claudette : no . but he was tracking me . he followed the money that i sent to her , and he made the connection . and when i told him i was leaving , he showed me a photo of her . he had someone watching her . he said that if he could n't have me that he would hurt my daughter . [ scene_break ] naomi : you are oversimplifying an extremely complicated situation . hayden : do n't even try it . you know full well what would 've happened if daddy found out you were cheating on him . if he found out that his darling daughter was the bastard child of jeff webber . you would 've been thrown out on the streets . no more town cars . no more private yoga classes . no more palatial pad at the dakota . [ sighs ] that 's what happened anyway , is n't it ? that 's why he did n't want to see me in prison , because he found out the truth . do you know how many nights ... i spent wondering why he suddenly wanted nothing to do with me ? this man who i adored , who loved me ? he just ... stopped . and i have you to thank for that ? [ exhales sharply ] so what happened ? did he threaten to divorce you when he suddenly found out the truth ? [ scoffs ] is that why you turned on him and gave him up to the feds ? i 'm right , are n't i ? naomi : no . i 'm going to go see what is keeping the lawyers .

[ teddy babbles ] joe : [ sniffles ] sabrina 's death was -- is ... [ clears throat ] ... an unimaginable tragedy . morgan : yeah , it was , so why do n't you have some damn respect and get out of here ? joe : because my nephew is in this house , and i 'm not leaving without him . morgan : you are leaving without him , because teddy belongs here with michael . do you understand that ? joe : michael is nothing to teddy .

the hospital is closing down and everyone is upset . epiphany tells reporters they need to get out , she will not answer their questions and is in no mood for what they want to do . elizabeth is still recovering in her hospital bed and everyone wonders whether to tell her that sabrina has been murdered by the hospital killer . franco protests to epiphany that he 's afraid it could jeopardize elizabeth 's recovery if they inform her of that yet she firmly tells him elizabeth has to know , from them , what happened to sabrina before she finds out from someone else . right then , elizabeth walks outside her hospital room and overhears epiphany crying and stating how she regrets letting this happen to a wonderful young nurse with a baby boy . when she finds out , she is distraught and informs franco she needs to go home and be with her boys . finn is also distraught to be out of a job and returns home to roxy , very depressed . he then comes across a letter written to him by his deceased wife at which point , he tantrums and declares that he 's failed her and failed everyone . hayden is in jail after elizabeth has turned her in to the feds for the diamonds . however , her mom comes by and surprises her daughter , by deciding to `` do the right thing `` right after hayden has found out that jeff webber is her real father and her mom lied to her about that . naomi tells the guards that it was herself , not her daughter , who stole the diamonds . with that , they set hayden free and naomi realizes she will be in jail and so she urges her daughter to live a good life and not do the dishonorable things that both of her parents did . at the quartermaine house , everybody is mourning the loss of sabrina . they all want to keep teddy . yet carlos ' brother , joe comes by and reminds them that he is the closest family member and sabrina never named michael nor his family as teddy 's legal guardians . both morgan and tracy are ready to fight him but michael concludes he will not use sabrina 's son as a prize in a fight that nobody will win . so he willingly gives teddy to his uncle after saying good bye and promising to always be there if baby teddy ever needs him . claudette reveals to nathan that she has a daughter by him . at first he questions that and asks why he should take her word for it . yet he realizes it 's entirely possible what she is telling him is true , regarding needing to keep the daughter safe from a man who is threatening her . he is not certain what to do at that point but concludes he needs to go and talk to maxie and reveal the truth about that to her .

[ dillon hums ] lydia : nikolas , you ca n't just end our marriage out of the blue this way . [ scene_break ] nikolas : we never should have gotten married . it was a business arrangement . but you know what -- since then , nothing 's changed . there 's no point in continuing . lydia : there is plenty of point , starting with your life depends on it . these creditors who beat you senseless know that the only way that the cassadines can pay this money back is if we produce an heir and the only way we can do that is if you stay with me . if you leave me , they 'll kill you . these were a reminder of that . nikolas : it 's ok , and it worked . no , it reminded me that i 'm in a sham of a marriage . lydia : since when did you become suicidal ? you might as well just save the bad guys the trouble and put a bullet in your own head ! nikolas : why are you -- oh , god -- why are you fighting me on this ? is this the future that you wanted for yourself ? are you honestly -- are you honestly happy ? lydia : i could be . and so could you if you would just give it half a chance . nikolas : i told you my intentions and there 's no point in discussing it . lydia : i know what this is really about . you ca n't stand the thought of your life without your precious emily . you would risk anything and everything to be with her . nikolas : you 're right , i want emily . emily : gia , have you seen zander ? i have to find him . it 's really , really important .

[ scene_break ] lucky : well , he was beaten pretty badly . i think it was a message from the cassadine creditors . whoever they are , they 're serious about getting their money back . zander : ok , why does this involve emily ? lucky : i do n't think it does yet , but -- zander : why was emily with nikolas in the first place ? lucky : i do n't know , zander . but you 're focusing on the wrong thing . i 'm just trying to give you a heads - up here . it 's just a dangerous time to be connected to a cassadine . any woman associated with my brother right now is an easy target for these people . we 're talking a lot of money here . zander : lucky , i think you 're worried about the wrong woman . i think you should be worried about lydia . nikolas and emily -- they 're over . they 're not associated with one another -- lucky : look , i realize that . zander : unless there 's something going on that i need to know about . lucky : no . zander : then save your concern . lucky : hey , you know what , zander , i just -- she could be in danger . all right ? so you just -- you just make sure you keep your eyes open and keep emily safe , ok ? jason : let 's shift the focus ; keep things between you and me for a change , huh ? [ scene_break ] lorenzo : fine . you can start by thanking me for keeping courtney out of jail . that was an awfully close call . carly 's grateful , sonny 's grateful , though he 'd never admit it . when does the boyfriend weigh in ? jason : you know , you can play your little games with the others , make them think they owe you . not with me . i 'm going to be watching you , waiting for my chance . you 're going to wish you never heard of port charles . lorenzo : i like it here , for several reasons . i 'll stay as long as it takes to get what i want . after that , who knows ? jason : well , you 're about to be disappointed all kinds of ways . courtney : sonny ? where are you ? sonny , are you ok ? i thought -- i thought carly would be with you .

[ scene_break ] jason : that 's not how this is going to end . nikolas : yeah . you know , i actually think lydia was hurt . i used to be -- i used to be careful about that , you know , stomping on people 's feelings , getting caught up in relationships doomed to failure . jason : look , i 'm sorry if this is difficult for you . nikolas : yeah , well , it 's a good cause , right ? saving my family , canceling the debt -- that 's caused me and my uncle to make so many bad decisions . do you know what 's ironic , though , is that i never really gave a damn about that money . and now my life 's on the line for it . jason : you 're not the one who 's going to die , nikolas . nikolas : i just wish i could have found a way out of it without hurting lydia . to be honest with you , she really does n't deserve it . you know , anyway , it just -- once my marriage is over , i 'll be that much closer to being with emily , if she still wants me . emily : yes , nikolas and i came close to making love in the cottage , gia , but we did n't , ok ? we stopped in time , and we agreed to stay away from each other . it was a moment , that 's all . [ scene_break ] gia : a moment ? this has been ongoing for months now -- you and nikolas and your big scary love . but , you know , do you know what i find fascinating ? you just got finished telling me this whole story about almost making love to a man who is n't your husband , and the only time you mentioned zander was in relation to nikolas . `` oh , i have to find zander before he sees the pictures and goes off on nikolas . `` once again , it 's all about nikolas and protecting him and your obsession for one another . damn the rest of us , right ? emily : i love zander , gia . gia : that may be , in your way . but does it compare to the way you feel for nikolas ? how is any of this fair to zander ? lydia : do n't bother looking for her . i was looking for her , too , so i could tell the little witch exactly what i think of her . [ scene_break ] zander : what -- what happened to you ? lydia : the only problem is i 'm not sure what i would say to her if i did see her . `` congratulations `` ? `` you won `` ? `` do i offer to throw the shower ? `` zander : what the hell are you talking about ? lydia : nikolas decided that he wants an annulment . my marriage is over , finished . never mind that nikolas leaving me will end up getting him killed . and notice i did n't mention that i 'll end up in the poor house . zander : ok -- english , please . what are you getting at ? lydia : do you not listen or are you the kind of guy that needs proof your eyes can see ? because that 's not a problem . i 've got that . georgie : so much for my fabulous new do .

[ door opens ] [ kate clears throat ] kate : it 's customary to knock , maxie . maxie : kate , you told me to drop this off . you said you -- kate : well , i obviously had a change of plans . maxie : oh , what a cute picture . is this you ? [ scene_break ] sonny : actually , i 'm retired . olivia : i did n't think that was an option in your line of work . sonny : well , not for me . i -- i -- i signed over my business to a former associate and , you know , i am completely legit . olivia : strip joints ? sonny : no , that was a long time ago . coffee importer . olivia : oh . sonny : yeah , yeah . olivia : well , wo n't you just make the greatest fashion accessory . `` this is my husband , sonny , the coffee importer . `` sonny : yeah . olivia : well , i guess you must still be rich or connie would have never agreed to marry you . sonny : money has nothing to do with love . yeah , i do all right . i mean , connie does n't need my money . olivia : so they say . sonny : look , i know that it was very rough when she decided to leave and you -- your family was very close . but it 's very difficult for her . she does -- she does n't even talk about it . olivia : you know what ? you 're making this sound like -- like connie got on a boat to another country or something , like she was an immigrant from palermo in 1902 and -- and she had all her belongings wrapped in a shawl , and if the family never heard from her again , it was because she was an ocean away or she died of rickets or something . no , connie did n't have the guts to conquer the world as constanza louise falconeri . okay , she made a choice to hide behind a fake name and a fake past , just like she chose to cut ties with this family . we have n't heard from her in years . as far as she 's concerned , we do n't exist . sonny : olivia ... you are absolutely wrong . [ scene_break ] kate : yes , that 's me in boarding school in vermont . maxie : who 's the girl standing next to you ? kate : um , i do n't remember . mallory ? millicent ? i do n't know . so , do you have the finalized guest list for the wedding ? maxie : yes , it 's going to be a lot smaller than you planned . but everyone local confirmed . and i noticed there were no howards on the guest list . are you going to invite any of your family to the wedding ? kate : my parents are dead , maxie . they were only children . i 'm an only child . i have no extended family . maxie : that kind of explains it . kate : explains what ? maxie : why you took sonny back after he cheated on you with carly . he 's like the only family you have . kate : oh , okay , that comment was a little inappropriate and rather judgmental , maxie . maxie : sorry . kate : look , sonny and i have come to an understanding . i do n't want to hear anything more about that unfortunate incident with carly . that woman is out of sonny 's life and out of jax 's life . [ scene_break ] jason : well , i 've seen what you can do when you put your mind to something . carly : that 's your polite way of saying i 'll probably lie and scheme to get what i want . jason : probably not the best strategy to get jax back . it would defeat the purpose . carly : that 's all i got left , to lie and scheme . i do n't have anything else . jason , there 's nothing i can say or promise him . i -- i hurt him , and not just by sleeping with sonny , but by not telling him about everything when i thought i was pregnant . i mean -- [ carly laughs ] carly : man , i trashed his trust . i just -- jason : i 'm sorry about that , carly . carly : not half as sorry as i am . i think i 'm hurting . i broke jax 's heart . i did that to the man i love . he 's never going to trust anybody again . [ jason sighs ] jason : i mean , what can you say ? you know , you messed up . you 're sorry . you just got to keep going . it seems like you learned something . carly : how about that ? and it only took me losing the best thing that 's ever happened to me . jason : carly , what are you -- what are you -- what are you going to do ? where are you going ? carly : i 'm -- jason : what are you going to do ? carly : i 'm going to go to the hotel and i 'm going to do my job and i 'm going to contemplate all these life lessons i 've just learned . i 'm fine .

[ scene_break ] lulu : mom -- mom , please , wake up . i think i felt her hand move . i think -- i think -- i think she 's coming back . [ footsteps ] nikolas : what did you find out ? lainey : i 'd like to speak to you out in the hall . lulu : no , this affects our mother . she is going to hear this . and then when we 're done , you need to call the doctors at the institute in france and tell them that she 's relapsing . lainey : lulu , i pulled laura 's file . her status is unchanged . lulu : it 's only been a short while , but she was getting so much better . lainey : she was n't . lulu : i talked -- i talked to her . i talked to her doctor . nikolas : lulu , it 's -- lulu : no , this happened ! it 's real . lainey : there 's no dr. mcginnis on staff here at shadybrook , and there 's no indication that laura has responded since her relapse in november of 2006 . lulu : no . no , no , no ! [ scene_break ] matt : oh , really , whatever you have to say , i do n't want to hear it . robin : well , you 're stuck in that bed , so i guess you 're going to have to listen to me . matt : well , is it going to be something like , you know , `` patrick is a great guy `` or something to that effect ? look , i know you have to believe that because you have his kid inside of you , but really , i 've seen enough to know -- you know , know better . robin : really ? well , how was he supposed to react when since the very beginning all you 've been doing is picking fights with him , challenging him , goading him ? matt : was i supposed to just bow down ? robin : you acted like a jerk , and he thought you were one . he just did n't know that there was a pretty good reason for it . matt : just because we share a couple strands of dna does n't give him the right to have an opinion . robin : you certainly have an opinion of him . you 've already pegged him as the chosen child just because he got to have a relationship with your father , as if you missed out on some awesome father - son experience . but i 'll tell you the truth . after patrick 's mother died , noah became a drunk , until he disappeared from his life completely . matt : and somehow they just managed to get past that ? robin : it was very difficult for patrick to forgive his father , and it took a lot for him to let him back into his life , and when patrick found out what noah had done to you , he stuck up for you , the one who he shares a few strands of dna with , but you know what ? you 're probably right . you have it all figured out , so i 'll just stay out of it . [ scene_break ] noah : well , now you know the truth about me . pretty disgusting , is n't it ? anna : yeah , it 's sad , a bit disheartening . the only thing that can make it worse at this point is if you went somewhere and had a drink . noah : wow , well , i was just thinking about that . the smell , the burn in the back of the throat , the bang as the endorphin bell is rung . anna : yeah , so then you 're just trashed the rest of your life in the process . i mean , you ca n't undo what you did to patrick and his mom or matt and his mom . i believe that you can do a hell of a lot better in the future . noah : well , your faith in me is astonishing under the circumstances . should make me want to pull myself up by my bootstraps and go to an aa meeting instead of the bar . [ scene_break ] lainey : lulu , when there 's something difficult for us to face , sometimes the mind will create a coping mechanism , a way for us to deal with it . lulu : can you please just test my mom to be sure ? nikolas : we 'd appreciate it . thank you . lainey : i 'll arrange for the tests , not because i think there will be any change in her condition but because i want us all to be on the same page so we can move forward together , okay ? nikolas and lucky : thank you . lulu : oh , my god . nikolas : okay . lucky : you heard what dr. winters said . lulu : it was all in my head . nikolas : it 's just a way for you to cope with things , lulu , a way to survive . you do n't have to beat yourself up . lulu : no , do n't -- you do n't want me to lose my mind over it . too late . i have been having conversations with our catatonic mother and the doctor -- oh , my god , then talking about the clinic in france and how her recovery -- nikolas : it 's okay . lulu : oh , my god . nikolas : it 's okay . lulu : oh , my god . nikolas : you 're going to get better . lucky : right , we 're all going to help you . lulu : none of it was real . none of it was real . i was so happy . it was like a miracle . nikolas : okay .

[ phone rings ] spinelli : oh . maxie : and poor lulu . even though lulu does n't have my dedication to the job , they really should let her out of that looney bin , just for the day . after all , she 's not only kate 's second assistant , but she 's sonny 's friend , or her dad is , anyway . oh , well , i guess we 'll just have to take pictures so she knows what it 's like . spinelli : we ? maxie : you 're going to be my date , are n't you ? what about you ? who are you taking to sonny and kate 's wedding ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i had the same reaction at first , that connie cut her ties from the past because she was ashamed , but it was n't -- it was n't like that . she just saw how the game needed to be played . olivia : she bailed . it 's ancient history . i do n't think about those days anymore . sonny : no ? olivia : no . sonny : how about your brother vito when he snuck into the confessional , and you told him all your sins with the guy you liked ? olivia : he told the entire neighborhood about that . sonny : yeah , you 're a legend . olivia : so vito is going to spend an extra eternity in purgatory for that one , so just -- sonny : so you -- you never think about the old days , right ? olivia : all right , i was pissed at connie , okay ? she was always the star of the family . then all of a sudden she decides she 's too good for any of us . sonny : no , she thought that because of her -- she would n't achieve her dreams . she felt that , you know , being kate howard would get her places that connie falconeri would n't . she -- you know , it would n't have mattered , because she has that ambition . she would have made it , but we 've all made mistakes . i made some . i know you 've made some . olivia : yeah , i did just about every crazy , stupid thing there was to do , including dating you . sonny : thank you . olivia : by the way , making a career out of the mob is no genius move either . sonny : well , your family never thought i was good enough for connie , so -- olivia : well , you were pretty wild , when you started running with joe scully . yeah , believe me , there was more than a few hail mary 's said for divine intervention to keep connie away from you . sonny : it worked . olivia : yeah , she ditched you , became katherine hardwicke howard . now after all these years , you know , pick you up like something she found on the bottom of her designer shoe , decides you 're good enough to marry after all .

[ scene_break ] ethan : you see this ? dubious . johnny : you do n't believe me ? ethan : let me put it this way , it 's hard to invest in someone who can turn on a dime , all right , because that 's how fast they can turn back . johnny : there were many factors that played into this sudden change of heart for me . your advice and wisdom being a few of them . ethan : cops found your gun , did n't they ? johnny : close . dante found an eyewitness , saw the whole thing . some guy who caught the whole confrontation with sonny on his camera phone . ethan : and that showed that you pulled first . johnny : well , let 's just say it showed that i was not some innocent victim . ethan : so why are you not behind bars ? johnny : dante offered to trash the evidence in exchange for me and sonny inking a truce . ethan : oh , the noble detective dante blackmailed you . johnny : truthfully , lying in that hospital bed , i realized that my plan to kill sonny looked a hell of a lot better on paper . ethan : you realized the error of your ways . did you also realize that living well is the best revenge ? 'cause i can get that one stitched on a pillow for you . johnny : ooh , have you taken up needle pointing , ethel ? that 's not necessary . like i said , this truce , it 's the real thing . sonny keeps his territory , i keep mine . it 's a clean slate . [ knock on door ] johnny : aye aye . [ groans ] [ laughs ] claire : mr. zacchara . johnny : hmm ? claire : i 'm here to review your legal situation . johnny : what legal situation ? claire : your attempted murder of sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] jason : why does anyone care that i took brenda to that party ? suzanne : well , in the mind of the public , brenda is still murphy sinclair 's girl . to hear that she 's on the arm of some mysterious stranger , who it 's rumored happens to be her ex - husband , that 's the kind of publicity you ca n't buy . jason : who would want to ? suzanne : anyone who has a stake in keeping brenda 's high profile . cartullo , asec . jason : okay , so how does me taking brenda to that party help your charity ? suzanne : well , it 's a fairly simple formula . people love reading about the lives of the rich and famous . they always have . but on the other hand , who wants to see a bunch of children who 've been virtually enslaved ? it 's uncomfortable and depressing . you do n't want to think about it too much , not out of cruelty or indifference , but it makes you sad . so the best way to draw attention and to shine a light on hidden problems is to get one of those rich and famous people and show them paying attention . jason : like brenda . suzanne : like brenda . and murphy . before they broke up , he went with her on a trip . seeing them walking the streets of a slum , made people sit up and take notice . and when people take notice , they often times take action . they make donations . they get involved . because if brenda and murphy are involved , then helping children through asec must be a pretty cool thing to do . jason : so this is all good for your charity . suzanne : oh , i could n't ask for any better . not only do you know how to manage brenda , but you 've made her more famous than she already was . [ scene_break ] spinelli : this must be like a dagger to fair samantha 's heart . what man could resist the divine brenda ? what hero would n't rush to her rescue ? sam : look at the picture . spinelli : no , do n't torture yourself . sam : stop . really , look at the picture without projecting your own weird brenda fantasy . now , does this remotely look like the jason we know ? he 's in a tuxedo . he hates wearing tuxedos . he 's actually getting his picture taken ? he 's like the most private person we know . spinelli : maybe brenda just has that affect on people . sam : look again . she is a model . she 's a famous person . this is a photo - op . red carpet event or something . [ knock on door ] sam : poor jason 's trapped in this cummerbund and tie . i kind of feel bad for him , actually . i 'm just saying . hey . carly : hi . so , is jason on his way home ? spinelli : he has yet to advise us of his return . his former spouse is obviously still requiring his presence . carly : huh . wonder what self - made drama brenda 's gotten jason involved in this time . [ scene_break ] patrick : hey , good morning . lisa : good morning . hey , i was thinking about going to jake 's later on . patrick : ah , you know what , i would really like to , but i 'm trying to show some compassion under the circumstances . lisa : okay , but that 's why i suggested jake 's . i mean , yeah , sure , robin went that one time and she made a point of meeting steve , but it does n't really feel like it 's her kind of place , you know . patrick : yean . no , you 're right . jake 's it is . i 'll meet you there after rounds . lisa : oh , great . matt : like hell you will . are you serious ? patrick : you know what , you should stay out of this . matt : let me just tell you . the man who is gon na cheat on his wife is just gon na end up cheating on you with the next pretty face . patrick : matt , this is none of your business . matt : robin is at home right now , and she needs your support . and instead , you are gon na go off to a bar and have some drinks with lisa here . really ? patrick : if you 've got a problem with my personal life , you bring it up to me in private . matt : no , no , forget it . forget it . i am so done making excuses for you . you are such a son of a bitch . [ scene_break ] nikolas : hello . maxie : i am so glad you called me . i am absolutely available for consultation jobs . so , what are you thinking ? redecorating this monstrosity again ? because if so , i have some great ideas starting with a hand grenade in this room . nikolas : actually , the job i need you for is considerably less dire . see , brook lynn is accompanying me -- maxie : brook ? ugh . then it 's true . i did n't believe lulu when she told me that after carly kicked brook lynn to the curb , that little leach showed up on your doorstep . heh . nikolas : i actually invited her . maxie : i warned lulu not to trust brook lynn after her lying face showed up back in port charles again , but you know lulu , she gives everyone the benefit of the doubt until she walked in on brook lynn half naked , straddling dante . so i feel pretty comfortable telling you that brook lynn is a liar and a user . whatever she 's selling , do n't buy it . nikolas : maxie , i 'm well aware of brook 's dealings with carly and lulu . and i 'm satisfied that there 's 2 sides to every story . but i did n't ask you here for a character reference . i hired brook lynn , and now i would like to hire you -- maxie : whoa , hold on . back up . you hired brook lynn for a job ? nikolas : yes . she 's to be my date at a dinner party in the south of france . and -- maxie : you would be better off hiring an escort service . brook lynn : what 's maxie doing here ? maxie : what are you wearing ? nikolas : i hired her to be your stylist . [ scene_break ] ethan : so , let me guess , you 're here to thank johnny for negotiating a lasting peace with sonny . claire : no , actually , i 'm here to review whether johnny should be charged for attempted murder . ethan : aw , well , that 's not very peaceable of you now , is it ? claire : you know what , now when i think about it , if you knew johnny planned to kill sonny , that would make you an accessory . ethan : well , i 'm a lover , not a fighter . claire : so i 've heard . ethan : i 'm thinking of having cards made up . meanwhile , i 'm gon na go consult a real lawyer just in case . johnny : see ya . you know , claire , if you decide to prosecute me , i 'm gon na have to come out with all of the times sonny tried to kill me . you know , subpoena all sorts of witnesses . you do n't want sonny subjected to that kind of scrutiny , do you ? i mean , not after you 've pissed away your entire career just to get with him . hey , how 's that working out for you ? [ scene_break ] carly : what kind of trouble has brenda gotten herself into that murphy sinclair and all his bodyguards ca n't get her out of ? sam : i do n't know . use your imagination . spinelli : the divine brenda appears to have been targeted by forces most sinister , thus necessitating stone cold 's hands - on involvement , as it were . carly : okay , you need a reality check about brenda , because she is selfish and needy . spinelli : okay , no doubt the valkyrie is concerned about stone cold 's welfare , hence the less than charitable attitude towards the fairest of the fair . sam : you guys , jason felt obligated . she needed him , he went . big deal . carly : but to do what exactly ? sam : i do n't know . whatever is necessary . spinelli : yeah . and brenda is appreciative . yes . see for yourself . [ scene_break ] suzanne : cartullo has made generous endowments to asec . they cover the cost of brenda 's accommodations , her travel , her security . jason : what about interpol ? what 's going on with that ? suzanne : well , we 've been dealing with an agent derek bates . but he seems more focused on catching this balkan character than he does on protecting brenda . [ knock on door ] jason : who is it ? murphy : murphy . guessing you 're the ex - husband ? murphy : i 'm right , are n't i ? you 're brenda 's ex - husband ? suzanne : murphy , this is jason morgan . jason , this is murphy sinclair , brenda 's ex - fiancé . murphy : nice to meet you . jason : you here to see brenda ? murphy : no , i 'm here to see you . take it brenda 's not here right now . suzanne : she 's at a meeting at cartullo . murphy : great . then maybe jason and i can have a conversation . ex to ex .

[ scene_break ] claire : keep in mind , i can reopen the investigation at any time . one toe out of line , i will prosecute you . johnny : did you give sonny the same warning ? or were you afraid it would put a crimp in your pillow ? claire : you know what , i have no doubt sonny will abide by the truce . i really do n't have much faith in you . johnny : i 'm sorry for you , claire . i am . you have that same look in your eyes that my sister used to get . you know you 're getting used , but you can pretend like it 's not happening . claire : is n't it time you let claudia rest in peace ? johnny : not every woman that sonny used and exploited was on the wrong side of the law . there was a couple of fbi agents , maybe a d.a . good , smart women from what i 've heard , who fell for the mobster with a heart of gold . the stories about sonny 's treacherous childhood , how he 'll go to the wall for his kids . like you , they knew him . they did n't . neither do you . claire : you know what , all i care about is peace in the kingdom . okay ? johnny : kingdom ? you just keep telling yourself that . convince yourself that you have n't taken everything that you possibly stand for and tossed it in the harbor . this is gon na cost you in ways that you ca n't even possibly imagine . claire : oh , yeah ? johnny : really . claire : really ? was that a threat ? johnny : no , it 's actually just an outpouring of my heartfelt sympathy . you have been reeled in by sonny , and as soon as he 's done using you up for all your worth , he 's gon na toss you aside and move on to whoever 's next . claire : consider yourself warned . honor the truce you made with sonny . johnny : got it .

[ sighs ] listen , the protocol that i developed for you -- it might be compromising your immune system , or it could have been something that victor did to cause this fever . i mean , there 's no way of really knowing what he did ... or his clinic staff did to you after they locked me up . jason , look . port charles . it 's only 30 miles away . [ sighs ] we 're almost home . [ scene_break ] fritz : back already ? bodyguard : yeah , i got the kid to his car . son of a bitch actually found a decent spot . fritz : do n't you think the boss would have wanted you to see him home , make sure he does n't sneak back in ? he is sonny corinthos ' kid . bodyguard : what is he gon na do ? we got a dozen men posted all over this building . what 's gotten into you ? shawn : not one sound . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone ringing ] ava : oh . hello . kiki : hey , mom . it 's me . i ca n't talk long . i 'm actually at franco 's birthday party . ava : oh . well , give him my best . kiki : i 'll be sure to do that . i wanted to check in with you , though . i heard you were n't feeling well . ava : oh , that 's sweet of you . you know , i 'm still not 100 % , but the doctor gave me something for the pain . and before you -- kiki : is it safe for the baby ? ava : it 's perfectly safe for the baby . so i 'm just gon na take my pill and head to bed early . i 'm sure i 'll feel much better in the morning . [ scene_break ] robin : how you doing ? and there it is -- the universal nonverbal signal for `` please leave me alone . i 'm fine . `` although we both know that you have a raging fever . at least it 's not multiple gunshot wounds . you have to be grateful for the small things , right ? anyway , whatever victor did to you , we will deal with it when we get home ... right after we tell sam and everyone else that you 're alive . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] sonny : hey . sam : hey . sonny : i heard you were here . you hear the good news ? dante and the rest are home safe . sam : are you kidding me ? wow . that 's amazing news . sonny : um , what 's going on ? everything o -- you okay ? sam : yeah . no , yeah , i 'm -- i 'm good . i just -- i wanted to talk to you about something . sonny : i get it . you 're not the only one thinking about jason . [ scene_break ] robin : i do n't think we should pull over and use a pay phone or anything because that would just give helena or whoever a chance to catch up to us . we do n't even know for sure if she 's dead . jason ... sam does n't know that you 're alive . i - i - i did n't -- i mean , i could n't tell her . i hope that you can forgive me for that . victor was very clear . he said that i was only gon na have a chance to save you if i did n't tell anybody about your condition . so ... nobody knows -- not your family . not even my own family knows . [ scene_break ] anna : well , there are a few loose ends to tie up -- not least of which is the fact that obrecht shot victor right in front of me . yeah , no , i 'm not kidding . well -- well , it 's her word against mine , i mean , which would n't be a problem under normal circumstances , if there is such a thing . but you and i both know that if i push her on this , she 's just gon na cause hell about what we did to faison . i know we did the right thing . yeah , the man was a monster . there was no other way to stop him . i got to tell you that i 'm just beginning to feel that this is wrong -- us keeping it a secret , not only from the authorities , but also from the people that we care about . i feel like i am lying to duke every single day . well , that -- that is where you 're wrong , because ever since -- no . ever since he walked away from sonny 's organization , he 's been like an open book , you know ? yeah . oh , he 's not keeping anything from me anymore . [ scene_break ] scott : oh , uh ... hi , bobbie . what 's going on ? bobbie : i just thought you might want to know that carly is throwing your son a birthday dinner upstairs in the restaurant . scott : hey , wait . whoa , whoa , whoa . where are you going ? why are you running off like that ? bobbie : i do n't have anything else to say to you . [ scene_break ] carly : no , i - i 'm not surprised . i 'm just , uh , a little startled . you snuck up on me . hey . what are you , um , doing here so early ? i 'm -- i 'm not even finished setting up . franco : well , if we 're being truthful , i was really excited and , you know , just could n't help myself . i hope it 's okay . carly : yes , of course , it 's okay . why would n't it be okay ? franco : well , i would n't want to , you know , ruin any surprises you might have . carly : oh . not that kind of a party . franco : right . so , there 's nothing going on here that i 'm not supposed to be seeing ? carly : no . no , i was just going over the details with the staff . franco : oh , the staff ? carly : mm - hmm . franco : right . carly , what -- what staff ? carly : the staff that 's tending to the details . franco : of course . and no guests , huh ? i mean , it 's still too early for guests , right , assuming that they 're even coming . carly : oh , is that what 's wrong ? you think this party 's gon na be a flop ? well , you listen to me . hey . come here . i can guarantee you that that 's not going to happen . kiki said she 's going to come . i have n't heard back from your father , but i 'm sure he 's gon na come . did you invite your friend nina ? franco : uh , no , i - i did n't . well , i did , but nina 's got plans . she 's doing something with her husband , i guess . carly : oh . franco : and , um , when i think about it , i think it 's probably better that she 's not here . carly : why ? franco : because she knows all about you , carly . [ scene_break ] anna : okay , robert , i 'm gon na have to call you back . um , and you know what ? when you 're finished with your business in wisconsin , just remember there 's always a place for you here in port charles . duke : anna . anna : hi . duke : oh , thank god you 're all right . ohh . lucy : anna , thank -- thank god you 're back . anna : you sure about that ? lucy : mm , absolutely . we were worried sick about you . anna : i 'm fine . lucy : oh , good . oh , what about dante and lulu ? anna : yeah , they 're fine . lucy : oh , my god . what about detective west and -- and dante , maxie , lulu ? wait a minute . you -- you look -- you look good , though . and who else ? are they all fine ? anna : yeah , everybody -- everybody 's fine . lucy : fantastic . thank god . anna : oh , déjà vu . lucy : déjà vu , as in you 're the police commissioner . you deal with kidnappings and such . duke : no , i think what she actually means is déjà vu this . lucy : this ? oh ! anna : that . lucy : that . yeah . oh , sorry . um , you know , i - i certainly -- whew -- would never want to lead you to believe that anything , uh , inappropriate was going on . anna : no , it 's okay . i trust duke . duke : yeah . lucy : you trust duke ? but that means you do n't trust me , because why ? because lucy has a bit of a history , do i ? duke : lucy -- she was in a very bad headspace . anna : oh , you were ? i 'm sorry to hear that . lucy : thank you . it 's about that deceitful , awful , disgusting , slimy little shrew bobbie spencer . [ scene_break ] scott : why are you being like this ? bobbie : because i do n't like being strung along ... and because i do n't want to get invested in whatever this is if you 're still secretly pining for lucy . scott : i 'm not secretly pining for lucy . bobbie : well , every chance you get , you just keep weaseling your way out of making a decision . weeks ago , scott , you and i are sitting in a restaurant , and we 're having dinner , and i 'm thinking you 're finally ready to make up your mind , and then you just -- you found a way to dodge everything again . scott : but i 'm not the only one dodging things about that night . why did you lie to franco ? bobbie : you 're my daughter . i love you . why else would i cover for you with franco ? carly : i appreciate it . i really do . bobbie : i do n't want to talk about franco right now . we 're talking about us ... if there even is an us . scott : i 'll tell you what . i 'll answer your question if you answer my question . we had dinner that night . why did you tell franco it was just a nightcap ? why ? [ scene_break ] carly : what does nina think she knows about me ? franco : what do you think she knows ? she knows that you 're jealous of my friendship with her . carly : oh . [ chuckles ] franco : what `` oh `` ? what is that ? you 're relieved ? this comes as some kind of relief ? carly : no , no . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm amused , actually . i mean , wow . someone really thinks highly of herself . you know i 'm not really jealous of your friendship with nina . i mean , that 's just you and me joking around with each other . franco : that 's all it is . carly : franco . franco : i know that . carly : i know there is nothing going on between you and nina . franco : no , of course not . nothing . just like there 's nothing going on with you and sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : jason 's birthday . sam : yes , it is . sonny : i never had a better friend . you -- you know that , right ? sam : yeah , i do n't think you 've ever had a friend that would literally take a bullet for you . sonny : well , i think we all thought he was invincible . and i think he thought so , too , because otherwise , he would n't have been so good at what he did , right ? sam : oh , i know . i just wish he were around to know that danny was his son . i mean , i know that he 's gone , but ... it would have been nice . sonny : you made him very happy -- you know that . sam : thank you . wait . your -- your guard said he was flying solo because of some big job . sonny : is that right ? sam : i did n't get him in trouble , did i ? sonny : no , no , he knows he can trust you . sam : okay . so , whatever it is , it must be pretty important for you to pull all of your men off their posts . [ scene_break ] ava : well , we 're way past the five - second rule , are n't we , baby ? so what do we do ? do we take this one or toss it and take another ? when doctors say , `` take the entire prescription , `` do they include pills that have been lying on the floor ? fritz : all right , you got the drop on us . now get ms. jerome out of the line of fire . she 's all yours . [ doorknob rattling ] [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's just business , you know ? same old thing . nothing for you to worry about . what can i do for you ? sam : well , i did want to talk to you about something -- just not jason . [ scene_break ] robin : i ca n't believe i actually get to see my little girl soon . i 've spent way too much time away from her . patrick hates me for it . he 's actually ... divorcing me because of it . even so , i will get to hold my little girl in my arms again . and you , jason -- you get to ... jason , you do n't -- you -- you do n't know . danny is n't franco 's . hell , franco 's not even your brother . danny is -- he 's yours . he 's your son . oh , no . i think we 're being followed . i think that car 's been tailing us for a while now . i 've made three left turns , and it 's stayed behind us the entire time . my parents taught me that if a car makes three left or three right turns , it could be a coincidence . if it makes a full loop , it 's a tail . right . let 's find out . [ chuckles ] nice try , buddy . i 'm not the daughter of spies for nothing . jason , prepare to be impressed . [ engine revs ] [ scene_break ] sam : i 've been investigating the accident that killed patrick 's son . sonny : the one your foster son , rafe , was responsible for ? sam : yeah , and , um , well , before rafe died , he confessed that someone pressured him into causing this accident , and i did a lot of digging , and what i -- what i came up with i can hardly believe myself . sonny : what 's up ? sam : sonny , do you think it 's possible that luke was helping the jeromes bring down your organization ? sonny : i do n't think so . [ scene_break ] michael : are we interrupting something ? carly : no . no , no . you guys are right on time . you are . so glad to see you . thanks for coming . kiki : hi . [ chuckles ] happy birthday . franco : thank you . carly : oh , no , no , no . i 'm gon na take this and put it on the present table . yeah , because you 're not gon na open this up till after dinner . franco : michael , uh , thank you so much for coming . i did n't expect to see you here . michael : yeah , i 'm here for kiki and my mom , but ... franco : well , i 'm sure they appreciate it . i know i do . hey , why do n't you run along now and , uh , help your mom get some champagne ? i think if we 're gon na celebrate , we should all have some champagne . do n't you think ? michael : uh , yeah , okay . i 'll give you two some time to catch up . kiki : what was that all about ? [ scene_break ] scott : you know , franco keeps giving me the third degree about whether we had a nightcap , whether we had dinner , what time , what time did you leave . bobbie : well , you know , did it ever occur to you that your son may take after his mother , and he 's asking you all of these questions just because he 's cuckoo ? scott : yes , i realize he may be cuckoo . however , something seems very fishy here . [ scene_break ] duke : lucy is involved in this romantic entanglement with bobbie and our illustrious d.a . anna : no way . really ? why would you both be fighting over him ? that 's ridiculous . i mean , i know people like a bargain , but that is just -- scott baldwin is -- is a criminal , and -- and he is a sleazeball . lucy : uh , yeah . but he 's my sleazeball , and i simply can not stand the fact that he is waffling -- actually waffling -- between me and bobbie spencer . anna : well , then you need to make that stop , and you need to make him choose . lucy : i did that already . i tried . anna : then you have to try harder and succeed . okay ? what you have to do is go over there right now , and you tell him that he has to choose you and only you , or else he 's gon na lose you for good . lucy : you know what ? i 'm gon na go right now . you 're right . and give him a piece of my mind . anna : right now . lucy : oh , right . wish me luck . anna : good luck . lucy : luck . ohh ! ohh ! ohh ! okay . ta . anna : i thought she would n't leave . duke : are you really all right ? anna : yes . duke : mm . anna : i 'm fine . duke : then follow me . [ scene_break ] bobbie : well , how is what you and i do ... any of franco 's business ? scott : i know you do n't like franco . and maybe he is some horrible karmic payback to me , but he is my son , so if there 's something going on , bobbie , i want to know . [ knock on door ] bobbie : you 'd better get that . scott : well , now who 's weaseling out of the question ? bobbie : still you . [ knocking continues ] scott : i did n't order -- lucy : bobbie . bobbie : lucy . lucy : you know what ? goody . i 'm glad . great . i 'm glad you 're here 'cause this does concern you , too . we ... are ... going to settle this once and for all . [ scene_break ] kiki : okay , so , what 's up ? you wanted to talk or something ? or you just needed a moment ? franco : did carly sleep with sonny ? [ scene_break ] anna : mmm . this makes everything worth it . duke : mm . we 've still got it , have n't we ? anna : i was talking about the martini . duke : [ laughs ] there 's plenty more of that where that came from . anna : you 're right , though . we more than still got it . this is a good second . duke : ah . very pleased to hear it . you know , now that coleman 's gone , maybe i should ask mac if i could get a job behind the bar . anna : why would you want to work at the floating rib ? it 's not actually where one goes for a top - shelf martini . i think you 'd probably confuse the few martini drinkers they have by using gin . duke : the very idea of the vodka martini -- well , it 's like turkey bacon and vegetarian haggis . it 's just not one -- it 's that it should n't really exist . but i 'm not about to go upmarket , try to get a job over at the haunted star . after all , is n't that where you said faison worked when he was masquerading as me ? i 'm sorry . anna : it 's all right . duke : i did n't mean to ... anna : it 's fine . duke : ... evoke the name of that monster . i mean , at least we know he 's safely behind bars , and we do n't have to worry about him doing any of us any harm ever again . anna : there 's something i got to tell you . [ scene_break ] lucy : scott baldwin , you can not continue to string us along . you can not have both of us ! oh , my god . oh , my god , did you do it ? did -- did you actually do it ? you already made your choice , and you did n't even have the decency to let me know ? ! scott : no , that 's not what 's going on . bobbie : he did n't , lucy . he 's still stringing us both along . scott : oh , so , what ? now you 're both ganging up on me here ? lucy : yeah . you know what ? maybe we are , because what you are doing , mister , is totally wrong . bobbie : it 's very wrong . lucy : and come to think of it , shame on us . shame on us for letting it go on as long as it has . so , oh , pal o ' mine , you know what ? unless you make your decision right now -- right here and now -- and choose one of us or one of us , i am completely done -- out of the equation . bobbie : you know , for once , i agree with lucy . scott : lucy . bobbie . bobbie : so you decide now -- right now -- or i 'm walking away , too . scott : okay . i have been very , very disrespectful of both of you . and i - i care deeply about the two of you . i do . i really do . however we slice this , someone 's gon na get hurt here . so , here we go . [ scene_break ] kiki : why would you think that sonny and carly slept together ? you still upset about that kiss ? franco : yes . but i also feel like something more substantial is going on behind my back . kiki : wh -- what would make you think that ? franco : nina has a nurse , and she told nina that she had heard you and morgan talking about how carly and sonny had slept together . kiki : rosalie ? franco : and i was gon na let the whole thing go . i was n't gon na ask you about it . i was gon na take the high road , but then i walked in here , and i see carly , and she 's there with sonny , and so when i ask her about it , she lies to me . she just lies to my face . if you know something , kiki , you need to tell me . kiki : i would just go with your first instinct and just forget about it . franco : i count on you . you know that ? i do . you came through for me when no one else in this world would come through for me , and i need for you to do that again . i need for you to be honest with me . franco : just -- just -- i just need to know . i mean , one way or the other , i just need to know . please . please , tell me . kiki : it 's true . carly and sonny slept together . [ scene_break ] carly : thank you for the assist . appreciate you being here . i know you do n't really support this relationship . michael : uh , well , you know , it was n't just that . i also felt a little weird celebrating franco on jason 's birthday . [ scene_break ] robin : all right , i think we lost our tail . are you impressed ? do you think it was helena and her people ? i - i mean , if it is , they 're probably gon na be waiting for us at our homes . well , i mean -- i mean where we used to live . if that 's true , we ca n't put patrick and emma or sam and danny in that kind of danger . we need to get someplace safe . we need to go somewhere else . let 's go to sonny 's . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , this talk about luke . is this coming from spencer ? sam : well , i mean , so far , yeah . sonny : okay , i love that kid -- love that kid , right ? but his imagination -- it just goes wild . sam : yeah , that 's what i 've heard . sonny : at aj 's funeral , i saw luke and spencer together . days before that , he was sending me these voice messages saying it was important to talk to me . but when i saw him them together after that , it just -- it was just dropped . sam : okay , wait a minute . so , what are you saying -- that luke somehow silenced spencer ? i mean , do you really think that 's true ? [ scene_break ] ava : what the hell are you doing ? help me ! shawn : well , if you wanted his help , you should have paid him better . fritz : sorry . max : do n't you go easy on her . that little lady 's got quite a punch . shawn : i hope you enjoyed your little vacation from being sonny 's guest , 'cause that 's over . you and that baby are coming with us . bodyguard : let her go ! man : you 've got three seconds . three ... two ... max : move now . ava : stop shooting , you morons ! you 're gon na hit me and the baby ! shawn : you wo n't have to worry about that much longer . [ scene_break ] sonny : look , luke is one of my oldest friends . i mean , we -- we -- we had a little patch years ago , but we got through it . uh , i mean , we 're like -- we 're like family . sam : i know . i know you 're right . it 's probably -- it 's probably a dead end . sonny : sam , i did n't say that . luke 's always had an angle . i do n't see why he would have one here , but i will keep my eyes open , and i think you should , too . [ scene_break ] robin : i know that you want to see sam and danny as soon as possible . i mean , i - i want to see emma , too , but we ca n't take that risk . if they 're waiting there for us , they 'll grab you and me , and nobody will ever even know that you 're alive . once we 're safe and we 're at sonny 's , then you can call sam . sam is gon na be so happy that you 're alive . so will everybody -- sonny , carly , michael . you mean the world to all of them . [ scene_break ] michael : i spent so much time being a big brother to morgan and kristina and now josslyn . but jason -- he was like my big brother . and i just hope he knows how much i loved him . carly : oh , he did . baby , he did . [ scene_break ] robin : you know , it 's super annoying -- the more nervous i get , the calmer you are . i guess if helena and her cronies catch up to us , that 's a good thing , and you can hold down the fort . right . we 're out of ammunition . but i have a surprise for you . ta - da ! okay , i know it 's not a ka - bar or an uzi or whatever , but beggars ca n't be choosers in these types of situations , and you 're gon na need something if you run into one of helena 's men . look , i hope you 're up for driving , because we have to split up , okay ? i 'm gon na go to the metro court . as soon as this door shuts , i need you to drive straight to sonny 's . i 'll fill in my mother , and she can deal with helena , okay ? [ scene_break ] anna : so , there 's been something that i have been keeping from you , and i - i think it 's wrong of me . and i want to bring you into the loop . duke : okay . i 'm listening . lucy : thank you very much , madam commissioner . brilliant idea ! duke : what happened ? lucy : what -- what happened ? i 'll tell you what happened . you are not always right , 'cause i did exactly what you said , and i went over , and i gave scott an ultimatum , and he did make a choice . oh , made a choice . he chose bobbie . anna : oh , lucy , i 'm so sorry . i 'll have to talk to carly about the door . lucy : bobbie ! bobbie ! [ scene_break ] bobbie : you know , i should be giving you hell for putting me through that . scott : yeah , you 're right . you should . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . bobbie : so , this is official ? you 're really ready to leave lucy behind you , and we 're gon na see where this goes ? scott : well , you know , she chose kevin once . how do i know that she would n't do that again ? bobbie : wait a minute . lucy possibly going back to kevin is not a great reason to choose me . scott : no , no , that 's -- that 's not the reason , bobbie . i mean , that 's the point . bobbie : okay . i know i 'm gon na regret asking this , but what point ? scott : about us , about what we have , what we 've always had -- trust and honesty . [ scene_break ] franco : you need to tell me everything . kiki : i do n't know everything . i overheard carly and sonny talking about how they slept together . franco : carly 's having an affair . kiki : no . no , no , no . franco : yeah , that 's what that 's called . i mean , what would you call it ? like , a sewing circle ? kiki : no , they slept together , but -- but it was wrong , and it was just a one- time thing . franco : please . kiki : franco . franco : kiki , come on . kiki : if it was n't , i would have told you . franco : you would have told me ? kiki : yes . the only reason why i did n't tell you was because carly said that she made a huge mistake . she swore to me that she would never do it again . i just -- if that was the case , i did n't see a need to hurt you . franco : you 're trying to protect me ? kiki : yes . i - i was . i even went so far as to not tell michael , because i knew he would -- he would tell you right away . franco : [ laughs ] that 's funny . the joke 's on him ... because there 's something i 've been meaning to tell michael . kiki : what does that mean ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : hey . scott : where is everybody ? michael : uh , this -- this is everybody . scott : oh , yeah ? kiki : franco , franco . wait . what do you mean ? what do you have to tell michael ? franco : it 's nothing that ca n't wait . carly : hey . here you go . come on . okay , well , thank you all for coming . really . um , well , now that everyone 's here , i would like to say a few words about our guest of honor , franco . i ca n't describe what an amazing , fascinating man you are . and i really wish i could , because it would really be something for the world to see what i see . i mean , anyone who cares about you -- they know the real you and not this , like -- franco : monster . carly : yeah . monster . i think that 's why we fit . because i 've been called the same thing . hell , even by people in this very room . but then i was lucky enough to have them get to know the real me , to get to know my past and what i struggled against . and -- and then -- why , i do n't know -- they found it in themselves to let me into their heart , and i let them into mine . i got to know the real you , and i let you into my heart , and i ca n't imagine my life without you . so , this toast and this dinner is a small gesture , but i just hope on your special day that you see how much you mean to the people in this room ... and to me . okay . cheers . franco : actually , if you could all just indulge me for one minute after that ... very moving tribute . i have a few words i 'd like to say . [ scene_break ] man : that 's the last of them . shawn : let 's get her out of here , then . let 's go . max : you heard the man . ava : please . please do n't do this . you know that sonny 's gon na kill me . shawn : not until after you have the baby . max : maybe you should have thought about that before you offed connie . ava : aah ! aah ! shawn : what 's wrong ? max : come on , lady . ava : my baby . [ scene_break ] sonny : i need you to get ahold of max and shawn , 'cause i have n't heard from them in a while . gus : you got it , boss . [ scene_break ] robin : mom ! mom , it 's me . open up ! mom ! [ scene_break ] sam : you know , i still ca n't believe it 's been almost two years . it does n't feel real that he 's gone . sonny : i just wish that i 'd taken faison out myself . sam : oh , you would have to get in line . sonny : well , at least he 's rotting away in a super - max . i just -- i just hope , you know , it 's enough justice for jason to rest in peace . [ scene_break ] robin : mom ! mom , it 's me . open up ! mom ! [ next_on ] franco : the person most affected by what i have to say is michael . max : should we call the boss ? emma : how do you know mommy even wants a divorce ? robin : i do want to come home . jordan : what are you gon na do , shoot me ? sam : i should probably go . sonny : i 'll walk you out .

dillon : are you sure you 're okay to go over this ? maxie : [ chuckles ] i realize this is my first time acting , but does n't taking the director 's notes sort of come with the job ? dillon : yeah , it does , but it 's a fine line , and i do n't want to , uh -- i do n't want to dictate your performance or make you commit to one approach before we 've even cast our lead , so ... maxie : is there a reason you ca n't take your eyes off the door ? dillon : i just -- i thought my father would be back by now . maxie : and what ? you 're worried he wo n't smooth things over with the mayor after all ? dillon : anything 's possible . maxie : come on , dillon . you heard him on the phone with lomax . she agreed to basically everything he asked for . dillon : yeah , but the thing is , we only heard his side of the conversation . maxie : you think he 's being less than truthful ? dillon : the thought has crossed my mind . maxie : dillon , do you trust your dad ? dillon : i have no idea . [ scene_break ] paul : i love this . we just met , and already we 're simpatico . ava : and you 'd be a partner of the silent variety . enabling me to remain in control while my family and loved ones remain in the dark . after all , i could n't very well let my son , dillon quartermaine , know that i 'm out to supplant sonny corinthos . that would n't do . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , sonny . you wanted to see me ? sonny : i just wanted to thank you . you showed up right on time . jason : yeah , well , it was nothing . no , it was a lot . sonny : you always ... [ voice breaking ] i could always count on you , jason . jason : okay , sonny , uh -- sonny : it 's bad . it 's gon na get worse . jason : okay , just try to relax , buddy , okay ? just relax . sonny : i mean it . y - you got to stand by me , jason . [ scene_break ] tj : morgan , michael was just here looking for you , and he said you have a gun . he 's worried about you , says you might do something crazy . look , i told him where you are . he 's on his way . please , morgan , if you get this , call your brother , all right ? i 'll come pick you up . [ knock on door ] tj : whatever you do , do n't go after julian jerome , all right ? ric : hey . tj : mr. lansing . ric : hey , tj . is molly around ? tj : she was n't feeling well , so she went upstairs to put her head down . ric : hey , you do n't look so hot yourself . what 's eating you ? [ scene_break ] michael : alexis ? alexis : [ gasps ] oh , michael ! michael , your brother 's in there ! he 's got a gun ! he 's got a gun ! [ gunshot ] alexis : aah ! god ! michael : morgan ! oh , damn it , no . [ scene_break ] dillon : you 've asked if i trusted him , and i do n't know how to answer that . i mean , he seems great . he 's attentive , accepting , genuinely interested in getting to know me , but , i mean , if he 's such a great guy -- maxie : why could n't he be bothered with you before now ? dillon : pretty much . it 's not entirely his fault . both he and my mother parted ways on less than amicable terms . maxie : he bailed on her for another woman , right ? dillon : apparently , there was a car accident involved . they both sort of glossed over the details , but the end result was that my mother took me to europe to discourage further contact . and that 's the way it 's been for pretty much my whole life , until a couple of months ago . maxie : you do realize that if your father really wanted to see you , he could n't be discouraged out of it . i mean , i was legally banned from seeing georgie for like a year , and it nearly killed me . i made a lot of really stupid mistakes , but one thing i discovered at the end of it was i 'm her mother , and i will move heaven and earth to be a part of her life . dillon : yeah . well , my father does n't feel the same way about me . maxie : if it makes you feel any better , my father does n't feel that way about me , either . [ scene_break ] ava : forgive me . did you just say your son is a quartermaine ? paul : i did . ava : well , of all the names you could 've dropped , i did n't expect to hear that one . paul : i understand . obviously , this whole conversation has taken you by surprise . ava : that 's an understatement . paul : dillon is my son with tracy quartermaine . uh , tracy and i did not part on good terms . dillon and i have been estranged for most of his life , but that 's starting to change . tracy has graciously welcomed me into the family home , despite our , uh , complicated history that we share . ava : she does have a soft spot for gangsters , does n't she ? paul : and with tracy 's help , i 'm rebuilding my relationship with dillon , but that would be a nonstarter if either tracy or dillon were aware of my true business interests . but there 's only so much i can do without revealing my identity . do you understand my dilemma ? ava : you want that cake , and you want to eat it , too . paul : mm - hmm . it 's taken me a very long time to build my power base . i am now in the position to use it to sonny corinthos ' disadvantage . [ scene_break ] sonny : i need you to protect my family . jason : i will , i promise you . sonny : morgan 's out there . he 's not thinking clearly . he 's in big trouble . jason : i know . it 's okay . it 's okay . relax . i 'm gon na take care of this . sonny : [ groans ] carly : sonny , you need to get some rest , okay ? sonny : no , jason needs to know everything . can you just tell him ? you need to tell him . tell him . carly : sonny , listen to me . this is n't jason . jason : it 's okay . [ chuckling ] yes , it is . sonny : what -- who is it ? it is jason , sweetie . carly : no , no , no , this is my friend jake . he helped you at the warehouse . sonny : tell -- this is -- he helped me . tell him everything . tell her . elizabeth : sonny , i need you to calm down and just close your eyes , okay ? sonny : tell carly that this is jason ! tell her ! [ scene_break ] tj : i 'm just worried about molly . that 's all . she said she needed to be by herself for a little while . ric : what , did you two have a fight ? is she mad at you ? what ? tj : not a fight really . i think she 's just upset about this whole mr. corinthos and julian jerome thing . ric : [ sighs ] yeah . of course , she is . and , unfortunately , her mother is joined at the hip with the bastard who kidnapped you and put my brother in icu . sonny 's in critical condition , and julian just breezes through life , you know , whining about his innocence -- all while avoiding the payback that he so richly deserves . [ scene_break ] alexis : julian ? michael : hey . is he dead ? morgan : no , he 's still breathing . stay back , alexis . i already told you , okay ? alexis : i need to help him . michael : no , you need to stay calm . we do n't want the gun going off again . alexis : morgan shot him . morgan : no , not yet , okay ? he ran at me to grab the gun , the gun went off . he hit his little head on the ground . so now , instead of dying on his two feet like a man would , you 're gon na die on the ground like a little bitch . [ scene_break ] maxie : did my sister ever talk to you about our dad ? dillon : the legendary frisco jones ? not much . i did get the impression that he was more concerned in saving the world than paying attention to his own kids . maxie : yeah , well , what he does is dangerous and classified -- not the ideal career for a family man . he left when i was a little girl , and , aside from a few weeks here and there , he never came back . i resented him -- make that bitterly resented him -- for most of my life . dillon : you do n't anymore ? maxie : well , he came back when i was pregnant with georgie and made a genuine effort to reconnect . dillon : did it work ? maxie : yes and no . i was passing my baby off as dante and lulu 's . dillon : yeah , uh , lulu said something to me about that . maxie : it 's way too convoluted to explain . it actually makes my head hurt just trying to think about it . but my point is , when i actually decided to confide in frisco , he was there for me . for the first time in my life , i - i had the father that i always wanted . he was rescuing me , caring for me , understanding me . i 've always had mac , and he will always be the man that i think of as my father . but a part of me always wanted to matter to frisco , and i finally did . dillon : you had a breakthrough . maxie : for about 15 minutes , and then frisco left again . dillon : uh , so , what are you saying , that i should be grateful that my father is making an effort to stick around to try to be a part of my life ? or not to get too attached , because he could take off at a moment 's notice ? maxie : both . dillon : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : jason , morgan 's in trouble . you got to help michael find -- carly : he will , sonny . jason wo n't let anything happen to our boys . jason : okay , relax . i 'm gon na go take care of this . sonny : i can always count on you . jason : i 'll take care of it . get some rest . carly : sonny , get some rest , okay ? i 'll be right outside . [ sighs ] elizabeth : you know , it 's the morphine . i - i see it all the time . one second , the patient 's coherent , and the next , they 're just talking nonsense . carly : he 's so worried about our boys , and the one person that he trusts to save them is n't here . jake : i 'm sorry . carly : do n't be . it 's not your fault that sonny was shot , and he 's seeing things that are n't there . it 's not your fault that jason 's not here . [ scene_break ] tj : mr. lansing , i 'm really sorry about your brother . ric : yeah , thanks , tj . i 'm , uh -- i 'm sorry , too . tj : i just wish i could 've done something different or handled it better so that mr. corinthos did n't get shot . ric : oh , tj , look , sonny does n't blame you , okay ? nothing that happened was remotely your fault . tj : yeah , but i let those guys get the jump on me . ric : you were ambushed and outnumbered , okay ? let yourself off the hook . the only person that needs to be blamed for this is julian jerome . he 's been after my brother since the day he came to town . tj : i know there 's nothing that we can do about your brother , but , uh , there 's a way to make sure that nothing like it happens again . ric : wait , what are you -- what are you getting at ? tj : i 'm just saying , if there was a way to make sure that jerome never touched mr. corinthos again , we should do it , right ? ric : well , yeah , i mean , believe me , if there was a way to be able to strip julian of all of his power and his connections and leave him permanently ineffectual , i 'd definitely be on board for that . the problem is that alexis has deemed herself his , uh -- his permanent advocate and defender , okay ? she sees him through rose - colored glasses , and she 's gon na do anything she can to protect him . works out very well for julian , of course . tj : wait , are you saying that he did it on purpose , that he 's dating ms. davis because she defends him ? ric : i 'm saying he 's got a talent for taking advantage of people 's weaknesses . look , he 's -- he 's found a vulnerable spot in alexis , and he just exploited it . tj : what a creep . ric : yeah , creepy , but talented , tj . julian has a knack for being able to shrug off all comers . and his sister is even better at it than he is . [ scene_break ] ava : you certainly put a lot of care into arranging the pieces on the chessboard to suit yourself . very skillfully done . paul : high praise , coming from you . ava : i 'm afraid i wo n't be able to roll over and follow your commands . paul : you wo n't ? ava : your arrangement has me assuming all the risk . i stick my neck out , take responsibility for having sonny shot . and not only would i find myself at the very top of the corinthos ' hit list -- if i 'm not still there -- but julian will think i set him up . paul : where would your dear brother get an idea like that ? ava : julian will think i was the one that made it look like he was after sonny , when really it 's been you all along . [ scene_break ] michael : hey , morgan . come on , you do n't -- you do n't want to do this . come on , just give me the gun . morgan : no one else is protecting dad , so it 's up to me . michael : this -- this is not protecting dad . this is making everything worse . morgan : how ? julian : i 'm telling you , i 'm innocent . morgan : better shut up . do you hear me ? alexis : julian , please . just let michael talk to his brother . morgan : alexis , i already told you to get out of here . michael : okay , hey , hey , hey . ignore them . just -- just talk to me . we got to figure this out . morgan : what are you even doing here , michael ? michael : i 'm trying to stop you from throwing away your life . morgan : you 're not in control , not this time . michael : okay , just listen to me here . hey , not long ago , our positions were reversed , right ? i was the one with the gun . dad was on the other end . you and dante , you talked me down that night . you stopped me from killing our father , from destroying our family . look , i was n't -- i was n't thinking clearly that night . i needed my brothers to think for me . now it 's my turn . and i 'm telling you , morgan , there are other ways of handling this . morgan : no , there are n't . there are n't other ways ! okay ? other ways take time , michael ! other ways leave julian to hide behind other people , like alexis ! so , if i kill him now , this is done . it 's avenged , and dad gets revenge . michael : do n't let your anger ruin your life . morgan : enough ! enough . no one 's talking me out of this . sit down . you should 've never came back to port charles , julian , so say goodbye . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm the one who should be apologizing to you . jason : it 's okay . it 's okay . carly : no , it 's not . all this jason stuff ... sonny and i used to make it jason 's job to fix everything for us and to protect our kids , and now sonny 's doing it again , but he 's too drugged up to know any better , and it 's just so ridiculous , and maybe i 'm being ridiculous . i 'm sorry . jason : no , look , from what i see , from the moment sonny got shot , you 've been the one that holds this entire family together . you 're taking care of everybody . you 're looking out for your kids , for sonny . you 're having to deal with doctors , visitors . you got guards here . it 's okay to wish that your family 's protector was still here . i understand . carly : yeah , he was my best friend , and he was really good at what he did . jason : so ... [ clears throat ] what would he tell you right now ? carly : he would tell me to count to 10 . jason : okay . so , after you count to 10 , then what do you do ? carly : focus on sonny 's recovery . figure out how to help him get better . jason : well , luckily for us , that 's elizabeth 's area of expertise . elizabeth : you just need to keep sonny calm and remember that he 's on morphine . i - it 's perfectly normal . sonny : carly , where 's jason ? carly : hey . sonny : jason here ? carly : he 's here . but you need to be still , okay ? sonny : there 's no time . jason . you need to help michael find morgan ... before he ruins his life . [ scene_break ] alexis : morgan , please ! please stop ! michael : morgan , hey , this is n't about julian , okay ? if you do this , you 're a murderer . morgan : no , it 's not murder , okay ? ! it 's justice ! that 's what this is . alexis : morgan , please . listen , please . listen to your brother . he 's innocent . julian is innocent . he did n't do it . there 's no proof . morgan : this ai n't court , okay ? he does n't get a defense , and i do n't need proof . alexis : you do n't want to take this on yourself . morgan : yes , i do ! alexis : it 's wrong . morgan : better stop moving , okay ? you knew it was wrong . he knew it was wrong . julian is the one that was wrong . he 's a liar , he 's a killer , and you defended him anyway , okay ? you let him parade you around town on a leash . alexis , it 's pathetic . so shut up . michael : morgan . morgan : both of you , shut up ! michael : okay , look , hey , i 'm not trying to save julian here , okay ? i 'm trying to save you . if you do this , that 's it . your life 's over . we can not protect you . you will go to pentonville , and trust me , morgan , it is hell . believe me . we do n't want that for you . dad sure as hell does n't want that for you . morgan : you do n't know what dad wants . you have n't been around for months . you 've talked to him a couple times . to what , to spit on him ? you do n't know what dad wants . michael : you 're wrong . dad 's the one who sent me here to stop you . [ scene_break ] ric : i - i was not the one , madam mayor , who signed the flash drive out of the evidence locker in the first place . i have been on this job for the past two months , and i put madeline reeves behind bars . i mean , silas clay 's murder was a very high - profile case . does n't that count for anything ? yes , i understand . it was a little awkward that she was my mother - in - law , but ... madam mayor , you are making a big mistake . no . this is not gon na reflect well on you -- hello ? really ? really ? [ sighs ] god ! tj : everything okay ? ric : ohh . oh , it 's just -- it 's delightful . delightful . i mean , in the past few days , i 've been blindsided in court , i 've been scapegoated for the previous incompetence of the da , my brother was shot , and i 've been banned from his bedside , i was evicted from my house and my marriage , and now i 've been fired . ha ! [ sighs ] i guess the only thing left is a plague of frogs and locusts . [ scene_break ] ava : thanks , but no thanks , paul . find yourself another patsy . paul : are you really worried that julian will hold a grudge ? from what i understand , you 've wronged your brother before and lived to tell the tale . ava : well , i have a new post - near - death - experience policy -- do n't borrow trouble . paul : how long will that last ? i know all about you , ava . i do my research . the only way that you know how to live life is on the edge of a knife . ava : same for julian . you want a figurehead , bring him on board . paul : [ laughs ] julian lacks your talents and instinct to go for the jugular . you have no qualms about murdering an unarmed woman or framing a harmless drunk for your crimes . you 're exactly the woman i need . ava : i have my own priorities right now , starting with reclaiming my daughter , and i wo n't rest until i have avery in my arms . paul : well , that could be problematic . after all , the biological father is a man of considerable influence who despises you . his fiancée -- or are they married at this point ? [ chuckling ] at any rate , carly is also very well- connected and admired , and i would imagine that most people , family court judges included , would consider carly corinthos a vastly superior mother to ava jerome . ava : you son of a bitch . paul : [ chuckling ] now ... calling me names does not change the truth . you 're gon na have to jump through hoops of fire to get your hands on your daughter . maybe i could help . ava : how ? paul : well , i could put in a good word with whichever judge pulls your custody case , and it just so happens that i 'm about to hold a lot of sway with the court . ava : and how 's that ? paul : i 'm taking on a new role . you see , i did n't fully introduce myself before . you 're talking to paul hornsby , the honorable district attorney for the good people of port charles . [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm not naive . i realize that the father that i 'm seeing now is too good to be true . on the upside to having been separated from him for my entire life is that there 's no bad memory attached to him . i do n't really have a sense of him at all . so he 's starting with a clean slate . and he is working overtime to make a good impression . maxie : well , do you have any sense of who he is underneath , besides being generous ? because it 's not every neglectful parent that coughs up half a million dollars to jump - start a relationship with their estranged son . dillon : well , the first word that comes to mind is `` opportunist . `` he did n't hesitate to climb into bed with my mom when she was vulnerable over luke . maxie : tracy does n't seem too upset about it . dillon : she 's not . she was mad at luke . he was just getting out of a broken marriage . she considers it they were consoling each other . maxie : and what do you think ? dillon : i think my dad was hurting and my mom was there . he lost the woman that he loves , and my mom was a fallback ... just like me . maxie : so , you think you 're a consolation prize to your dad ? dillon : you have to admit the timing is pretty suspicious . he has n't contacted me my entire life , and then his marriage breaks up , and he comes knocking on my door , wanting to bond ? maxie : so you resent him ? dillon : i do if i think about it , so i try not to . maxie : look , i do n't know if this is gon na help , but , um , i realized something after my drama with frisco . i 'm never gon na get the dad that i always wanted -- the one who put me first , the one who was there for every birthday , every dance recital . i 'm only gon na get the father that i have , and it 's how i deal with him that 's up to me . i can resent him and cut him out of my life , or i can enjoy what he has to offer . frisco is brave and ... resourceful . and when i text him , he always texts me in back -- unless he 's in deep cover , and then he has one of his handlers do it . but my point is he 's not indifferent to me . and i would rather have that than nothing at all . dillon : okay , so , what you 're saying is i can have a great relationship with my father . i can bask in his interest and in his support , maybe even one day believe that he loves me , but i have to be okay accepting the good with the bad . [ scene_break ] ava : port charles has a da -- ric lansing . he was just appointed a couple of months ago . paul : ric has what one might charitably call a credibility problem . ava : you mean , because his half - brother is a local crime lord ? paul : ric was never meant to hold the job permanently . he was a stopgap , an emergency hire in the wake of scott baldwin 's ridiculous resignation so he could defend his son . ava : that wo n't stop ric from fighting for the job . paul : even if he could argue away his connection to sonny , he ca n't deny his glaring incompetence . after all , he had you dead to rights but managed to somehow let you slip through his fingers anyway . [ scene_break ] tj : wait . what ? the mayor just fired you ? can she just do that ? ric : oh , yeah . well , she 's the one who appointed me , so i guess she can . tj : yeah , like last week . ric : [ sighs ] i guess there 's no grace period as da , especially when you lose such a high - profile `` gim me `` case like ava jerome . tj : but it 's not really your fault , though , is it ? i mean , i saw online the evidence went missing . ric : somebody 's got to take the fall , tj . mayor lomax chose me . tj : but ca n't you fight this ? i mean , it was baldwin who signed the evidence out in the first place . it 's his fault it was n't left where it belongs . ric : yeah , well , baldwin 's already resigned , tj . there 's no political capital in blaming him . so , instead , she 's gon na try to save face in the public eye by taking action against me . tj : man , i swear , the mayor 's so corrupt . the sooner she 's out of office , the better . ric : yeah . well , in the meantime , the only way i 'm gon na get my job back is to be able to recover that recording . but it 's gone . it 's lost , stolen . [ chuckles ] and i 'm screwed . [ scene_break ] ava : now , we both know it was n't ric 's fault that the recording from aj 's phone disappeared . paul : yes , baldwin was smart enough not to leave the da 's office empty - handed , but he could n't hold on to it , could he ? ava : well , he did n't think anyone would break into his hotel room and abscond with it . paul : his mistake . but i 'll be sure to put this in a safe place , providing that we come to terms , that is . ava : well , just because ric is leaving the da 's office does n't mean you 'll land in it . paul : it does ... when the mayor 's an old pal . ava : you and lomax ? paul : trust me , it 's a done deal . there 'll be an announcement in the morning . janice could do far worse than me . i have a reputation for do - gooding . ava : how 's that ? paul : i once worked with robert and anna scorpio to help save this fair city from a criminal cartel . i am just the man to fight port charles ' underworld . ava : while you secretly run it . paul : who better to deflect attention onto sonny and to undermine any prosecution against you than the district attorney ? ava : it is an intriguing plan . paul : i 'm glad you see it that way . so , what 's it going to be ? are you going to join my cause ... or be my first conviction ? [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] carly : sonny , it 's okay . jason 's gon na track down morgan and make sure he stays out of trouble . jason : yeah , do n't worry . i 'm handling it . sonny : i owe you . jason : we 're not keeping score , buddy . elizabeth : sonny , you -- you need to get some rest . carly : yeah . and when you wake up , michael and morgan are gon na be back . jason will make sure of it .

[ scene_break ] julian : ava , it 's clear . whatever balance of power you think you have with hornsby is n't as even as you think . ava : maybe . maybe not . either way , the best thing you can do for us both is to let it be and focus on rebuilding your life . julian : well , i certainly have my work cut out for me . getting alexis back is n't gon na be that easy . ava : what ? what ? are you out of your mind ? julian . you took alexis down to the pier and threatened to slice her throat open ! julian : well , i was n't myself . ava : you -- you were more yourself in that moment than you 'd ever been . and you better get your survival instincts in overdrive , julian , 'cause everybody in this town named devane , davis , corinthos -- they all want you dead . [ scene_break ] morgan : so now my mom 's just a big fan ? kiki : i mean , i would n't go that far , but i think that she came to the same conclusion that my mom did . fighting our relationship is a losing battle . morgan : mm - hmm . kiki : especially when there 's so much craziness going on with the rest of our family . [ scene_break ] ava : the only way you can save yourself is if you neutralize sonny before he neutralizes you . julian : you 've got some ideas ? ava : distract him so he does n't see you coming . in fact , i 've already undertaken a little project that just might fit the bill . [ door opens ] ava : and here he is . kiki . do n't you want to congratulate your uncle on his big win in court ? kiki : yeah . congratulations on the two successful murders that you got away with . oh . and the one that you botched on your wife . julian : oh , boy . kiki : morgan , let 's go . morgan : yeah , i would n't call it a win . i 'd call it a travesty . julian : a travesty ? wow . three syllables . can you imagine that ? that medication must be working . kiki : okay , back off . morgan , you too . let 's go . come on . ava : morgan . a jury of julian 's peers , they looked at the evidence , they found him not guilty . morgan : oh . okay . it does n't make him innocent though . julian : oh , right . just like your dad is always innocent he walks out of the courtroom , right ? morgan : do n't talk about him . julian : oh . you know , morgan , listen , i - i do n't blame you for being concerned . i mean , you know the kind of life that your dad leads . it 's perilous . i mean , one day , he 's gon na find himself in somebody 's cross hairs . i mean , you just never know how much time he has left , right ? morgan : he 'll have plenty of time after i kill you . julian : whoa !

[ laughs ] maxie : [ sighs ] nathan : you told my mother ? claudette : you were going to tell maxie , and i figured as long as the secret was out , charlotte 's grandmother had a right to know . maxie : are you kidding ? you only brought nathan 's mother into this so you could use her as leverage with him . claudette : maxie . paranoid much ? maxie : and you , of all people -- i can not believe you 're buying into this . nathan : oh , i can . my mother 's ripe for the picking . right ? made no secret of your desire for grandchildren . dr. obrecht : i 'm not such an easy mark , nathan . in truth , i was quite skeptical at first . then i was shown photos and videos . there is a spark of intelligence in charlotte 's eyes that speaks to me . and i trust claudette knows better than to pass off a fraudulent grandchild to me . maxie : that is exactly what she 's doing . there is no way that charlotte is nathan 's daughter , and we will prove that when we test her dna against his . [ scene_break ] paul : i was hoping monica might remember more about her attack . tracy : correct me if i 'm wrong . do n't you have an entire police force at your disposal for just such occasions ? paul : i thought she might feel more comfortable being asked questions by a family member . tracy : you 're not . paul : a former family member , i suppose . i - i 'm sorry . i 've just been in a bit of a fog ever since the verdict came in . it feels like everything is going wrong . tracy : you can say that again .

[ scene_break ] griffin : can i offer you a piece of advice ? you do n't have to take it . michael : yeah , sure . what have i got to lose ? griffin : look , i know you 're angry . it 's natural . you have every right . but anger is easy . it 's accepted , cultivated , even lauded in our society . sadness , grief -- they are n't . so we conceal those feelings . michael : well , that 's one of the few things the quartermaines and the corinthos have in common . anger , we 've got down . holding a grudge , resentment . we 're all good there . griffin : the thing is , if you hang on to anger too long , it turns back against you . michael : yeah , i , uh , know a little something about that . griffin : look . michael , sabrina is dead . but your mother is still alive . there 's no reason for you to lose both of them .

after julian has been acquitted of murder charges , many people are worried . carly is concerned that sonny could take the law into his own hands . they are both concerned about the very same thing with morgan after hearing that he assaulted baby teddy 's uncle when he threatened to take teddy away from michael . sonny goes and talks to his son and is able to communicate and reach a meeting of the minds regarding the triggers and impulses of the bi polar condition . morgan confirms to his dad he knows that if he takes action with joe , it could lead to worse consequences that he does not want , just like if sonny lets his impulses take control of him when he next sees julian , the same could happen . both sonny and carly know that morgan needs to be around kiki . however , as they all speak , ava goes with julian to kelly 's . he 's very careful and hesitant to go inside the door when he sees da paul hornsby at a table inside . paul leaves and julian asks his sister just what her secret is with paul and just what she has on him . she warns her brother that given that he 's murdered two people and almost slashed alexis ' throat , he is in danger . right then , morgan and kiki walk in and can not contain their fury toward julian and the fact that he 's gotten away with murder . julian taunts michael about his and his father 's illness and morgan lashes out at him , ready to assault julian without regard to consequences . ava and kiki pull them apart and the waitress threatens to call the police if they do n't leave . alone with morgan , kiki expresses her concerns about what he could be provoked to do . he protests to her that julian needs to be stopped , given all he 's done and the fact that the cops ca n't do what is needed with him . julian and ava go to the metro court and come face - to - face with sonny and carly . sonny lashes out at him , admitting that morgan is right that julian needs to be stopped . carly is just as worried what sonny will do as kiki is with morgan . meanwhile , paul sneaks into the quartermaine house while everyone is mourning the loss of sabrina . he walks up the stairs with the needle , hoping to `` finish the job `` . however , tracy will not let him up the stairs while monica is recovering although neither she nor anyone suspects paul or has a clue that he is the hospital killer . claudette is determined to have nathan aware that she has a daughter by him . he questions whether she 's telling the truth , as does maxie and they tell her she needs to do a dna test in order to prove it . she does , however , manage to convince nathan 's mom , dr. obrecht , that charlotte is her granddaughter by showing her a picture .

[ scene_break ] sonny : did something happen between oscar and josslyn ? did he upset her ? milo : no . no , no , no . joss is n't upset . sonny : okay , so what 's going on ? why did you ask me how much you need to report back ? milo : because mrs. c was pumping me for information this morning . i was n't sure how much to tell her . joss is a good kid . sonny : mm - hmm . milo : from what i 've seen , her friend is , too . sonny : well , something 's making you uncomfortable . milo : they were n't -- they were n't doing anything wrong . sonny : mm . so ... he respects josslyn ? milo : yes . total gentleman . sonny : good . that 's all i need to know . milo : yeah , but it was n't enough for mrs. c. she wanted a minute - by - minute account . sonny : did you give it to her ? [ scene_break ] josslyn : mom , it was nothing . it was like -- it was like it barely even happened , and , you know , it really came out of all the craziness with milo thinking that oscar broke into the house . carly : josslyn . i was talking about how you and oscar ended up on the footbridge . josslyn : oh . oh , well , yeah , yeah . you know , i wanted oscar to know about jason , and , you know , since jason loves it so much , i thought what better place to tell him . carly : yeah . that 's what i assumed . but see , now i 'm wondering what else happened on the footbridge . what did you think milo told me ? [ scene_break ] franco : just the shipping company . i - i spent all morning at the gallery packing up my paintings , trying to get them to the buyers , and they wo n't give me a straight answer about when they 're coming to pick them up . elizabeth : i heard you say something about a little boy in a picture . franco : right , yeah . the twin painting that my dad sold right out from under me . elizabeth : do you think i have n't noticed that you 've been withdrawn lately ? franco : i ... think that the show and ... you know , all the old material , it 's just bringing up a lot of stuff from my old life . elizabeth : we made a pact , remember ? we promised we would n't lie to each other . franco : i 'm not lying to you . elizabeth : lies of omission count . so do you want to keep dodging , or do you want to tell me the truth ? franco : you 're right . and there 's something that i 've really been meaning to talk to you about .

[ scene_break ] ava : yes , patient 6 . i know i told you that i would n't say anything to anybody . but i happened to overhear klein take a call about you . at least i assume it 's about you . klein insists that you are a danger to yourself and to others . he says that you either have to be drugged or restrained . clearly the drugs do n't work . i 'm the only one who knows that . the question is , what am i supposed to do about it ? smart move would be to tell klein . after all , he ca n't treat you if he does n't have an accurate read on your condition . on the other hand , i have been told repeatedly to stay away from you . obviously , i had n't , and i do n't want to get myself into trouble by admitting that , so then maybe silence is the best option . you probably want me to pretend i was never here and leave you to your own devices . but i do n't think your family would want that . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : that 's you . and this looks a lot like that picture jake had of jason when he was a little boy . that 's not possible , is it ? franco : i do n't know . i 'm trying to figure it out . i ... i went to try and talk to heather . she refused to see me . i did talk to my mom . she said she was gon na give me answers , but then she just took off . elizabeth : well , what do you think the picture means ? franco : i think it means that my imaginary friend was very real . and i think that [ sighs ] my twin painting was some kind of repressed memory of having a brother . elizabeth : and that the twin is jason ? franco : i do n't know . sure seems that way . [ scene_break ] milo : mrs. c got a phone call before i could get into any details , but she asked me -- sonny : the important thing is that josslyn 's happy and safe , that she 's treated well by this kid , 'cause you 're not spying on them . you 're -- you 're trying to do everything you can to make sure that she 's safe . milo : right . well , in that case , everything 's cool . sonny : okay , everything 's cool . good . [ sighs ] milo : well , i should get back to work . joey 's a pro , but , uh , i do n't know . i just -- i feel better when i 'm there for josslyn . thanks , mr. c . milo : hi , michael . michael : hey , dad . sonny : hey . michael : so , um , how 's jason doing in the new place ? sonny : seems good . the facility seems great -- people , everything . huh . he has n't changed , but i 'm not gon na let that discourage me because you and i both know that people do come back from things like this , right ? michael : yeah , absolutely . i mean , you never gave up on me , and look , here i am . i 'm certainly not giving up on jason . sonny : damn straight . [ sighs ] so how you doing ? michael : okay , look , um ... let 's just get this out of the way . sonny : okay . michael : um , i 'm sure mom told you about nelle , that she had a fiancé that died in a boating accident and that she was suspected of killing him . sonny : your mom told me , and i do n't blame her for being concerned . michael : okay , before you go any further -- well , no , i 'm just -- before you go any further , dad , um , i - i talked to nelle . she explained everything , and ... i believe her . sonny : [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] carly : hey , josslyn . josslyn : hmm ? carly : what were you and oscar doing on the footbridge ? josslyn : [ scoffs ] nothing . we talked . that 's -- that 's all . carly : really ? then why are you so nervous ? josslyn : i 'm not . uh , come on , mom . um , milo was there . do you really think we would do anything in front of him ? carly : milo was there to keep you safe from sonny 's enemies , and hopefully from your own worst impulses , if necessary . josslyn : oh , my god . you make us sound completely out of control , like -- like we 're serious or something . carly : are you ? are you getting serious ? do we have to have a certain conversation ? josslyn : nelle ! nelle , hi . mom , nelle 's here . uh , come sit with us . come sit with us . nelle . nelle , join us , please . there 's room . carly : um , i 'm sure nelle 's busy , and you and i are in the middle of a mother- daughter lunch . josslyn : what 's going on ? i thought things were better between you two . carly : [ sighs ] nelle : really , it 's okay . i can -- i can sit outside . carly : okay , that sounds like a plan . josslyn : uh , wait . you two ca n't even be in the same room together ? that makes no sense . you guys were kind of getting along . what happened ? carly : i discovered something about nelle 's past that concerns me . josslyn : okay , well , whatever it is , i 'd like to know . carly : that 's nelle 's story to tell . please . take a seat . floor 's all yours . [ scene_break ] michael : buh - bye . i 'm sorry about that . i had to sort that out before the markets close . sonny : okay . michael : we 're talking about nelle . sonny : yes , yes . so , i ... i told your mother that you got to make your decision whether we agree or not . i just do n't like to see your mother worry . michael : look , dad , we both know , we all know that -- that nelle did some horrible things , right ? but you do n't really think that she 's a killer , do you ? sonny : she -- she drugged me , michael ! to get me into bed . i know her plan was to destroy your mother , but at least it proves that she 's calculating and cold - blooded . michael : yes , she thought she was avenging her father , okay ? that 's not -- that 's not an excuse for what she did , but it 's a far cry from killing her fiancé . sonny : why not be sure ? you have resources , right ? use them . find out every fact you need to know about nelle and her fiancé 's death . that way you can prove to your mother that she does n't have to worry ! michael : you want me to investigate nelle ? sonny : yeah ! michael : if that 's what it takes . michael : dad , she told me what happened . i believe her , i trust her . sonny : [ sighs ] [ cell phone ringing ] michael : oh , hold on . i have to take this . sonny : go ahead . michael : hey , lucy . so the bank sent the checks ? we 're close ? okay , all right . great , great , great . yeah , no , i 'm -- i - i 'll pick up the title and the deed . thank you . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : dna tests proved that you and jason are n't even related . franco : right , 'cause nobody ever tampers with those or switches those around , especially not where heather 's involved . elizabeth : okay , yeah , i -- [ sighs ] -- but jason could n't have lived with you and your mom . from infancy , he 's been here in port charles surrounded by an entire clan of quartermaines . franco : yeah , except when he was n't , right ? i - i need to figure this out . i need to figure out what the hell is going on . elizabeth : babe , i do n't understand where this is coming from . franco : i do n't either , really . i just ...

[ scene_break ] sam : your dad 's in a very deep sleep , but he can hear you , okay ? you can talk to him . danny : i miss you , daddy . sam : what you got there ? jake : danny and i made a drawing for you , dad . we used scout 's handprint for the sun . that 's danny , me , and scout . that 's you and sam in the middle . we 're all in the park . do n't you want to open your eyes and see ? danny : please wake up , daddy . pretty please . with a cherry on top . jake : will you wake up for us ? [ scene_break ] ava : i know what happened to you . you were shot . you fell into open water . and the trauma ... it created some kind of psychotic break . and then your family sent you here to recover . now , i 've been told you 're very wealthy , which makes sense , because this place obviously only caters to the elite . if your family did n't care about your recovery , if they 'd given up hope , well , they could 've parked you at any number of high - end facilities to vegetate . the fact that you 're here , it means that your family is waiting for you . it means they care , and they 're waiting for you to come back . wait . what is that ? your family 's not waiting for you ? do you have a family ? do they know you 're here ? well , then who the hell was klein talking to ? who put you here ? [ scene_break ] nelle : i was accused of doing something that i did n't do . josslyn : what do you mean ? nelle : joss , it was a really traumatic and awful time in my life . i 'm not gon na go into the details with you , okay ? not -- not right now . it -- it 's just gon na make your mom angry all over again . carly : oh , trust me , my anger 's a given . nelle : i know that it looks bad on paper , but there 's no reason to pull joss into this . josslyn : okay , what is going on ? carly : what 's going on , sweetheart , is you 're being stonewalled , because there 's no way in hell that nelle 's ever going to tell you what really happened . nelle : josslyn , listen to me . all that matters is that your brother means the world to me , okay ? he is the world to me , and i would never , ever do anything to hurt him , okay ? josslyn : oh , wait , wait . where are you going ? nelle : i 'm just going outside . it 's a nice day . i 'm gon na have some coffee and look at some apartment ads . josslyn : you 're moving ? nelle : my place is going condo and i ca n't afford to buy it , so ... i need to find a new place to live . carly : seattle 's nice . phoenix , if you do n't like the rain . josslyn : mom . carly : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you know , i 'm not sorry for what i said . i 'm sorry i said it in front of you . and now i have to get to work . it was nice having lunch with you . nelle : sorry to interrupt your time with josslyn . carly : you seem to be sorry about a lot of things . josslyn : [ sighs ] do n't -- do n't worry about it , nelle . really , sit down . nelle : i just do n't understand why everything has to be messed up all the time . josslyn : that makes two of us .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i can see how this picture plays into the story you were told , that you have a twin and that somehow it 's jason . franco : you do n't think so ? you think that 's a picture of me and some random little blond kid ? elizabeth : that 's exactly what i think . but this is about you and your childhood , and i can tell you 're not gon na rest until you get some answers . franco : i feel like if i find out the truth , then it 'll fix me and then i can finally be the man that i want to be for you and the boys . elizabeth : but you already are that man . franco : i 'd like to do better . and i could use a little peace . elizabeth : i understand that . franco : thing is , i 've hit a wall . heather wo n't see me , my mother wo n't answer my calls . elizabeth : well , then go see her . ask your mother your questions face to face that you can find some peace and be happy . truly and fully happy , making a home with me and the boys . franco : i love you . elizabeth : i love you .

[ scene_break ] carly : why would i want to watch sonny marry a woman i hate ? maxie : to show that you 're the bigger woman , that you can wish sonny well despite everything that has gone on between the two of you . i mean , carly , you need to walk into that church with your head held high , totally designer - ed out , looking better than the bride . make people wonder what sort of drugs sonny and jax were on to ever let your utter fabulousness go . carly : it would be worth it just to see the look on kate 's face . maxie : she would die . kate knows that if you woke up one morning and all bets were off , you 'd take sonny back and she 'd be toast . carly : okay , you 're going way past `` bad girl `` empathy . you 're either completely disloyal to kate , or you have some kind of agenda . maxie : i know kate , okay ? i mean , i owe her , like , my life . she gave me the best job in the entire world . she opens those doors for me every single day , but she can kind of be a bitch sometimes . i mean , have you seen how she goes off on spinelli ? and do i ever say anything ? no -- in my own time . i just -- i call it like i see it . carly : yes , you do . maxie : but back to the wedding . you 're going to need an escort , right ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : i 've got coffee brewing . julian : thanks . alexis : i still ca n't wrap my head around what happened yesterday . here . julian : well , what happened is that morgan tried to kill me for something i did n't do . alexis : i 've known morgan -- careful . julian : oh . alexis : i 've known morgan his whole life . he 's a good kid . he 's not a killer . julian : well , based on yesterday , i have to disagree . alexis : what he did was react to what happened to his father . sonny got shot . morgan feels like he has to shoot someone , which is why i hate the mob and loath the whole self - perpetuating cycle of violence . julian : well , i 'm not the one who tried to shoot sonny . alexis : i know that , but you did target sonny often , so you can understand why morgan blames you . julian : okay , well , we 're safe now and , you know , it 's over . alexis : i 'm safe . you 're not . the threat against you is still very real , which is why you have to go away for a while . julian : are you trying to get rid of me ? alexis : no , of course not . i do n't want to lose you , and i do n't want sam and lucas to lose you , either .

[ scene_break ] dillon : when you got home from your meeting last night with the mayor , excuse me , your old pal janice , the last thing that i expected to hear was that she 'd appointed you acting district attorney . paul : [ scoffs ] i went down to her office thinking i was going to smooth over your permit problem . i had no idea she was gon na offer me a job . but after giving it some thought , i realized it 's a win - win . janice gets an acting da that she can trust , and i get a job here in port charles . it keeps me close to my investment and my son . dillon : well , i 'm flattered . truly . paul : yeah . dillon : and with all that , uh , winning , there is a downside that i hope you 've considered . paul : and what 's that ? dillon : as district attorney , you 'll be taking on the mob . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm not gon na lie to you . i 've -- i 've been re - living my impromptu marriage proposal from last night , but i 'm not upset with you . i 'm upset with myself because i blind sided you like that . sam : i -- i just want to be clear about something . i 'm thrilled . i 'm flattered . i am deeply touched that you asked me to marry you . i do not feel blind sided . patrick : today is your wedding anniversary to jason , right ? yes . so my timing could have been much better . sam : no . patrick : [ chuckles ] how you feeling , by the way ? sam : um ...

[ chuckles ] jason : that 's insane . elizabeth : i remember the first time i saw you , when you were being rushed into the er after you were hit by that car . and i felt an immediate connection with you . jason : oh , really ? well , all i can remember is waking up , having no idea how i got there , and then slowly realizing that i did n't even know who i was . and then you appeared . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jason : you helped get me back on my feet so that i could live another year . elizabeth : and what a year it 's been . jason : mm - hmm . elizabeth : happy anniversary . jason : happy anniversary . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] julian : i know this is n't over by a long shot , but according to michael , sonny does n't want me dead . alexis : the only reason he did that was to protect morgan from a murder conviction and going to prison . believe me -- he will find somebody else to kill you . julian : yeah , well , i 've considered that possibility . alexis : good , then it 's settled . you 're going into hiding . julian : i 'm not going into hiding . alexis : i can not go through what happened last night again . i am asking you to stay alive . julian : [ sighs ] the only life i want is here with you . right here . okay ? i 'll be damned if i let anyone scare me into leaving you . alexis : but -- julian : but nothing . i promise you i can take care of myself , and i 'm gon na start by going to figure out what 's going on with my sister . alexis : well , what if somebody -- julian : hey . i will see you later . i promise . [ door opens ] [ scene_break ] carly : you made a promise , and i expect you to keep it . morgan : trying to kill julian does n't make me bipolar . carly : it 's another example of how you act on impulse . morgan : oh -- imp -- impulse . you want to talk impulsive ? what about mikey going after dad when he found out he killed aj , holding him at gunpoint ? does that make him bipolar ? carly : keep your voice down ! michael : look , you and dante -- you talked me down , and i realized it was n't worth throwing my life away or traumatizing my family for revenge , and you should realize that same thing . morgan : okay , except julian deserves to die . michael : yes , but not by you . morgan -- okay , think about it . how many people has dad eliminated ? you do n't know , and he 'll never tell you . but there 's no proof -- nothing that ties back to him . people speculate , they come up with stories . the police investigate , but dad walks away again and again , because he keeps his hands clean . you never thought about that when you went after julian . not for a second . it never crossed your mind to cover your tracks . you never considered the risks or the consequences . morgan : you know what ? sorry we all ca n't be as cold - blooded as you , michael . carly : okay , this is why you need to be evaluated , to see if there is a condition that 's affecting your judgment . morgan : you 're not hearing me . i do n't give a damn if i 'm bipolar or not . i care about keeping dad alive . fine . i get it . he does n't want me to kill julian . that does n't mean we ca n't send someone else to do it . michael : not now , okay ? it 's too public . especially after what happened last night , they 'd be looking at us , looking at you ? we need to wait . we need to be patient . give everyone a chance to cool down . besides , we 're not even 100 % sure it was julian . we have to consider other options here . morgan : like who , michael ? carly : like ava . [ scene_break ] scott : what do you want from me ? ava : i want my daughter . i have rights as avery 's mother . i 'm free . i want to exercise those rights . you are gon na get my daughter back for me . scott : well , this might be a good time to bring up the fact that you have an outstanding bill with me to the tune of $ 5 million . ava : you did n't meet the terms of our agreement , scott . you did n't get that recording for me . scott : wait a minute . you have your freedom . that 's got to be worth something to you . i do n't do pro bono work . ava : okay . how 's about i pay you $ 1 million if you can get avery in my arms by the end of the day ? scott : $ 1 million , you say . ava : i do . it 'll be a piece of cake . sonny 's down for the count . scott : what about his lap dog , carly ? ava : i do n't give a damn about carly . she has no legal standing when it comes to avery . i 'm her mother . me . not carly . [ scene_break ] carly : that makes sense . no one would suspect ava , because she was n't ava . she has connections . she could have organized the hijackings , hired a hit man to kill sonny while she 's miles away . morgan : no , no , no , no . ava did n't care about the mob . she cared about seeing avery . she cared about seeing our baby sister . that was it . michael : avery . carly : oh , my god . i did n't even think about that . morgan : what ? what ? carly : now that ava 's a free woman , she 's gon na be coming after avery . [ scene_break ] julian : so how does it feel to be a free woman again ? ava : oh , it feels great . julian : yeah ? ava : i can finally breathe . julian : yeah . so , scotty baldwin came through , huh ? i did n't actually think we would have much faith in him . ava : you 're not alone . julian : mm - hmm . so he actually had the recording . hope you destroyed that recording . ava : mm , it 's no longer an issue . julian : i 'm happy for you . ava : thank you . you know , i thought we 'd celebrate last night , but you were n't here . where were you ? julian : [ groans ] well , alexis and i were up at skytop lake in a quaint little cabin when your excitable ex - boyfriend showed up and tried to kill me . ava : what ? morgan went after you ? julian : well , he thinks i tried to kill sonny , so he hunted me down and held alexis and i at gunpoint . ava : i do n't believe it . julian : mm . yeah , well , luckily , i convinced him to release alexis . i jumped him , and we struggled for the gun . ava : what happened ? julian : the usual -- the gun went off . ava : well , what anybody hurt ? julian : you can relax . he 's fine . morgan does n't have a scratch on him . i , on the other hand , was flat on my back from a blow to the head . [ sighs ] an easy target . i would have been dead if it was n't for michael quartermaine who showed up just in time to tell morgan that sonny did n't want me dead . ava : i 'm not a big fan of michael , but i 'm very grateful he saved you . julian : except , for how long ? you know how these things are . right now , i 'm living on borrowed time . ava : have you got a plan ? julian : i need to find out who paid charlie heineck to point the finger at me . ava : you think it was a deliberate frame ? julian : someone wants me to take the fall for shooting sonny , and until i find out , i 'm a dead man walking . now , ava , i ca n't do this alone . i 'm gon na need your help . [ scene_break ] dillon : everybody knows that sonny 's a mob boss , but nobody 's ever actually been able to prove it . and as far as mobsters go , he seems to be -- well , not evil . he does n't go out of his way to commit acts of mayhem , but there are some mobsters in this town , specifically by the name jerome , who are not so honorable . paul : i did n't know that you were so well informed about the criminal element . dillon : like i said , lulu is peripherally involved , so i studied up . the point that i 'm trying to make is if you go after the mob , you could get some pushback . paul : well , i appreciate your concern , but i 'm not afraid of a little pushback , and i 'm definitely not going to back down to any pack of mobsters , be they good , bad , or worse . dillon : [ laughs ] that sounds like a campaign slogan . you gon na use that if you run for da in the next election ? paul : [ laughs ] campaigning is a whole other beast . i have n't thought that far down the road , honestly . i 'll cross that bridge when i get to it . right now , my focus is on learning the ropes of my new job and helping you with your movie . dillon : so , no more `` cease and desist `` orders ? paul : not according to janice . dillon : it helps to know people . i just hope you know what you 're getting yourself into . paul : i do . dillon : sounds like the mobsters of this town wo n't know what him them . paul : no , son , they wo n't . [ scene_break ] patrick : i remember us all sitting there at queen of angels when you guys walked in and announced to everybody that you were already married . sam : [ laughs ] yeah . scandalous . patrick : i thought maxie was gon na have a stroke . it was very romantic , though . the reception was romantic . do you remember robin and i congratulating you ? sam : i do . i remember you and robin , me and jason . patrick : it 's crazy , is n't it ? sam : yeah . things have changed . patrick : here we are ... in love . it almost feels a little more precious knowing that we both made it through to the other side after experiencing loss . sam : thank you . i really needed to hear that today . just to be clear , you know that i was n't turning you down . i was just asking you to wait . patrick : as long as it takes . sam : i mean , we 've already started building a life together . we 've got a family together . why would n't i want to accept your proposal just to make it official ? patrick : [ chuckles ] sam : when i 'm ready -- patrick : you 're gon na give me a nice , big , bright sign when you 're ready ? sam : [ laughs ] i mean , one way or another , you will know when i 'm ready . but until then , we 're still madly in love , right ? patrick : madly . sam : and we ca n't get enough of each other . patrick : allow me to demonstrate . [ scene_break ] jason : my life almost ended that night in the er , but really , it began with you . elizabeth : my life changed forever that night , too . in the beginning , i just wanted to help you . i did . jason : mm - hmm . elizabeth : i swear . [ both chuckle ] elizabeth : but little by little , i realized the connection was deeper . i know you 've struggled a lot over this past year with questions about who you are , but you say you 're ready to put that in the past and focus on having a future with me . selfishly , i think you made the right choice . jason : [ laughs ] elizabeth : [ giggles ] the life you had before was ... i 'm just glad you 're here with me and my boys . because they love you so much . jason : i love them . and i love you . elizabeth : mm . [ gasps ] maybe ... maybe that 's why you were dreaming about a wedding . um ... maybe it 's time we set a date . jason : oh , you want to set a date ? i think that 's a good idea . let 's set a date . elizabeth : how about today ? jason : you mean today , like , right now , today , today ? today ? elizabeth : it is the anniversary of the first day we met . jason : mm - hmm . elizabeth : let 's just make it our wedding anniversary . jason : mm . elizabeth : a year ago , you became a new man , and i became a new woman when i met you . we have a lot to celebrate , do n't we ? jason : yeah . elizabeth : so let 's just go down to the courthouse and vow to spend the rest of our lives together . jason : wow . yeah , you make it sound so easy . elizabeth : it is ! it is -- just you and me and the marriage license and a judge . we can pick up a cake on the way home , surprise the boys with the good news . i do n't need anything else . i just need you . what do you say ? jason : you know what ? that sounds amazing . it does . and i can not wait to be your husband . i can not wait for you to be my wife , but i just -- today does n't seem like a good day . [ scene_break ] sam : [ sighs ] patrick : that 's one way to postpone a proposal . sam : [ giggles ] i could n't help myself . hearing you play that guitar , it just turned me on . patrick : mm , well , guess who 's getting a private show every night then ? sam : ooh , my own personal rock star . i like it . patrick : yeah , my smoking - hot groupie . that 's a hell of a fantasy , is n't it ? sam : oh , yes . fantasy is a beautiful thing . patrick : so are you . but guess what ? sam : what ? patrick : i got to get to work . sam : no ! patrick : i do . sam : no . patrick : i got patients who need me , especially sonny . sam : i hope he 's doing better . and i hope this shooting is n't the beginning of a mob war . [ sighs ] patrick : i do n't know . so much violence over the years , i ca n't help but think the cycle is just gon na keep going . [ scene_break ] dillon : what are you gon na do about ava jerome ? i think i mentioned that she 's a lady mobster . she 's also a murderer . ava : which explains how i got the job as district attorney . the last appointee -- ric lansing -- he managed to misplace a crucial piece of evidence against ms. jerome . dillon : and ava got a `` get out of jail free `` card as a result . you gon na right that wrong , too ? [ scene_break ] julian : look , i realize that you just got cleared of some very serious charges . ava : then you understand why i 'm hesitant to tempt fate at the moment . julian : ava , i would n't ask you if i was n't desperate . truth is , this shooting has me in a lot of trouble . now , look , all i need you to do is just make some phone calls to our old associates , make some inquiries . maybe a name will pop up . ava : a name that might take the heat off you ? julian : well , like i said , i am desperate . [ ava 's flashback ] ava : what makes you think you can go toe - to - toe with sonny corinthos ? paul : only the fact that i 've been doing it for months . ava : you 're not saying -- paul : your brother 's not the one who 's been targeting sonny . it 's been me . ava : i 'd do anything for you , julian . julian : thank you . so does this mean you finally believe i 'm really out of the business ? ava : well , i admit , when i first heard about the hit on sonny , i thought you were behind it . julian : but why would i do that ? i have no territory , no shipments . i have nothing left from that old part of my life . ava : because i asked you to put a stop to sonny and carly 's wedding . the thought of avery calling that woman `` mama `` makes me sick . i thought -- what better way to stop the wedding than to shoot the groom ? julian : sweetheart , look , i love you , but i just -- i ca n't go that far for you anymore . [ ava 's flashback ] ava : your arrangement has me assuming all the risk . i stick my neck out , take responsibility for having sonny shot , and not only would i find myself at the very top of the corinthos hit list if i 'm not still there , but julian will think i set him up . paul : where would your dear brother get an idea like that ? ava : julian will think i was the one that made it look like he was after sonny , when really it 's been you all along . [ back to present ] ava : yeah , i - i - i understand that now . you 're a law - abiding citizen . shoot - outs and assassinations are no longer your style . julian : exactly . so , tell me , what finally convinced you of my innocence ? [ scene_break ] paul : what happened with the connie falconeri case was a travesty . and nothing would bring me more joy than to bring her killer to justice . the only piece of physical evidence that we have is a recording that your cousin aj made the night he was murdered . dillon : the recording that ric lansing lost . paul : it 's a little setback , but it does n't mean i 'm giving up . ava jerome will pay for what she 's done , and so will every mobster in port charles . see , from now on , they all answer to me . [ scene_break ] carly : ava will stop at nothing to get avery back . michael : well , we ca n't let that happen . carly : the murder charges were dropped . as avery 's biological mother , she has legal claim . michael : ava is a sociopath . she does n't even care about avery . she only got pregnant so that dad would n't kill her for what she did to connie . carly : the courts do n't care about that , michael . we have to find a legal way to stop her . michael : okay , we ca n't just sit here and let her make the first move . carly : okay , i want avery brought here so we can keep an eye on her . michael : okay , we need to get the courts involved , try to file a preemptive motion to back ava off . carly : it 's time for ric to prove himself to this family . he needs to get in on this . he needs to go to the courts and find a way to shut that woman down . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why would you trust ric ? you hate ric . carly : i hate ric , but i love avery as if she were my own , and there 's no way in hell ava 's gon na get near her . [ scene_break ] jason : it just -- it feels wrong . wrong 's the wrong word . it feels -- it just -- it feels insensitive . carly 's at the hospital with sonny . she does n't know what 's gon na happen , and for us to celebrate our wedding during that time , that 's -- elizabeth : are you worried about what happened last night ? jason : uh , it freaked me out a little bit when sonny called me jason , yes , it did . elizabeth : and that was already explained . it was the morphine talking . jason : i know . you know that . look , here -- the point is , carly 's been a good friend to me . she 's been one of my only friends , and for us to go celebrate our wedding when she was n't able to celebrate her own -- mm , it 's ... it 's not cool . elizabeth : yeah . no , you 're -- you 're right . you 're right . i -- i totally understand . today 's not our day . jason : it 's not . it 's not today , but i promise you that we will get married . elizabeth : [ laughs ] when ? jason : mm . hmm . you know what ? i can think of a great date for us to get married . [ scene_break ] sam : i hope your day 's not too crazy . patrick : oh , you know , first stop is sonny . sam : is he doing any better ? patrick : yeah , i checked in with the hospital , and it sounds like he had a good night . sam : so that 's a good thing . that is a good thing . hopefully , he 's on the road to recovery . patrick : yeah . sam : and he and carly can look forward to a new wedding date . patrick : speaking of wedding ... sam : yeah ? patrick : you 're gon na let me know when you 're ready , right ? sam : yeah . i promise i 'm gon na do what i need to do so i can say `` yes , i 'll marry you . `` patrick : sounds good . sam : okay . [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm really impressed . i mean , you could have opened your own firm . instead , you decided you wanted to make a difference . paul : that 's right . dillon : you 're really passionate about this . i know the feeling . paul : i can see it . how goes the movie , anyway ? dillon : well , we were able to reschedule our declan casting session . paul : why do n't you just play the part yourself ? dillon : [ laughs ] well , it might come to that if i ca n't find the right actor . paul : i think you would be brilliant in it . dillon : yeah , i 'm still holding out hope that we can find a declan that is n't me . and speaking of that , i actually got to get down to the haunted star , make sure everything 's ready to go . paul : i 'm glad your production 's back on track . dillon : thanks to you . i really appreciate you smoothing everything out , making sure the show goes on . paul : it 's not a problem . especially since i got a job out of it . dillon : [ chuckles ] hey , dad . paul : yes , son ? dillon : i 'm really proud of you . [ scene_break ] julian : not long ago , you asked me to partner up again . i told you i was out of the business . i do n't think you quite believed me . ava : i 've had a change of heart . maybe it has something to do with being out from under that murder charge . julian : so , are you sorry that we 're not gon na be partners in crime again ? ava : yes . but who knows ? maybe i 'll partner up with somebody else . julian : [ chuckles ] ava , you just got released . would you please be careful ? ava : yes , do n't worry about me . i have too much to live for to put myself in any danger . julian : well , speaking of which , i 've got to start making some calls , see who 's trying to frame me . ava : i 'll make some calls , too . we 'll figure it out . julian : you know , it 's good to have you back . congratulations on winning your freedom . seriously . ava : thank you . julian : i 'm sure the cost was steep . ava : you have no idea . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] carly : fine , call me back after you 've talked to the judge . [ sighs ] morgan : what 's going on ? carly : well , ric is going to try and block anything that ava does to get avery . michael : okay , what did he want in return ? carly : i promised i 'd let him see your father . morgan : no , wait , wait , wait . wait . why are we trusting ric ? why are we trusting -- he set the hijacker loose . he could n't get justice for connie . why do we think that he -- carly : because we do n't have an option , okay ? we do n't have an option . he is your father 's attorney of record in family court . he has represented your father in everything connected to avery 's custody . morgan : i know , i know , i know , i just -- i do n't trust him . carly : none of us trust him , morgan , but he is a talented attorney , and he 's motivated to win , if only to please your father . michael : well , at least we have avery with us for the moment . sabrina : hey , we 're here . michael : hey . carly : oh , thank you so much , sabrina . sabrina : everyone at the house is on high alert in case , you know , ava shows up there . carly : oh , my god . i feel so much better having this munchkin here . morgan : hey . carly : mwah mwah mwah . i missed you so much , sweet angel . i did , and you are right where you belong -- in my arms .

[ scene_break ] alexis : thank you , alice . i 'll find him . paul : may i help you ? alexis : hello , da hornsby . i 'm alexis davis . paul : ms. davis , it 's a pleasure . your reputation precedes you . what can i do for you today ? alexis : we need to have a conversation about julian jerome . [ scene_break ] carly : go ahead , wave to daddy . he 's gon na be so happy when he wakes up and sees you . he loves you so much . so do i. i love you so much . patrick : well , well . look who we got here -- little miss avery . carly : [ laughs ] yeah . patrick : that 'll make your dad happy to see you . carly : well , if sonny 's asleep , i thought it would make him feel good to see this face when he wakes up . patrick : yeah , that 's a good idea . morgan : is there -- is there any updates ? patrick : i went over his charts last night . his vitals are improving steadily . carly : that 's good , right ? patrick : yeah . what about on your end ? how 's his awareness ? does he seem like himself ? carly : yeah , yeah , i think so . i mean , he did have something happen last night , but elizabeth said that it was the pain medication . patrick : what was it ? carly : he thought that , um ... jake was jason . [ avery babbles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : november 6th ? jason : yeah , november 6th . you do n't remem -- that 's the day you asked me to move in with you . november 6th . elizabeth : wow . [ laughs ] jason : i ca n't believe you do n't remember that . elizabeth : i ca n't believe you remember that . jason : well , how could -- i ca n't forget that . i mean , that 's the day you -- i mean , you offered me a home , but more than that , you gave me a life . elizabeth : so that 's it ? you want to start our lives together november 6th ? jason : yeah . sounds good , does n't it ? i mean , that 's not too long to wait , is it ? elizabeth : i 'd wait years for you . [ scene_break ] sam : i promise i 'm gon na do what i need to do so i can say `` yes , i 'll marry you . `` [ scene_break ] patrick : well , sonny 's on morphine , so he 's probably just a little disoriented . i 'm assuming mistaking jake for jason is nothing more than a case of seeing what he wanted to see . carly : okay , so , you do n't think it means anything else ? patrick : well , that 's why i 'm here . i 'm gon na take a look at him , and when i 'm done , we can bring in this little girl to see her dad . carly : oh , great . morgan : that 's really great . thank you so much . [ avery babbles ] carly : did you hear that ? as soon as dr. drake finishes examining daddy , it 's your turn . he 's gon na be so happy to see you , and i know you 're gon na be happy to see him , too , huh ? yes . you are . ava : i 've got a better idea . i think avery would be much happier to see her mommy . avery : mama ? ava : yes . hello . [ avery babbles ] [ next_on ] jason ( to michael ) : your father mistook me for jason . sonny ( to patrick ) : how did i manage to live through this ? alexis ( to paul ) : i would urge you to drop the charges against julian jerome . sam ( to julian ) : you have to let me do this . i am the best weapon you have . carly ( to ava ) : there 's no way in hell i 'm letting you anywhere near this little girl .

after michael persuades morgan not to shoot and kill julian .... at least for now ... or , one could say , maybe , after morgan agreed to do what his brother asked ( not kill julian right then and there , in order to shut michael up ) , he returns to the hospital to hear his mom lecture him on the seriousness of his actions . she tells him her concerns knowing , were it not for michael finding them and intervening before it was too late , morgan would have committed murder in front of witnesses and served a life sentence in pentonville . carly concludes that since she knows her son does not `` want `` these consequences for his actions , yet does these things without thinking , he clearly needs to see a psychiatrist and take medication . morgan tells her he 's not about to see a shrink right now and has higher priorities .... like making julian pay . carly tells him that he can not assume that julian was the shooter of sonny . she reminds him that ava is a more likely suspect given her history with sonny and her means , motive and opportunity to have him shot . the most compelling of which is , now that she 's out of prison , if sonny dies before he has a chance to marry carly , neither he nor carly will have any legal parental rights to her baby daughter , avery . if they get married , they may be able to prevent ava from seeing her baby .

franco : so this is chamomile . it 's supposed to relax you . if you want darjeeling , it 's still in the cupboard . elizabeth : ugh , you sound like aiden . he would n't leave for school until he knew my pillow was fluffed just right . franco : he 's a smart kid . you ca n't sleep on a flat pillow . elizabeth : stop . franco : am i hovering ? elizabeth : just a little .

[ knocking on door ] [ scene_break ] [ knock intensifies ] finn : yeah ? hayden : hi . i was , uh , treating myself to a cinnamon macchiato , and i thought , why not get you one ? i mean , i know you 're more of the plain - black - coffee type , but after i was unexpectedly granted my freedom , i needed to celebrate . finn : okay . that was very nice of you . thank you . um ... hayden : hey , hey , hey . i meant , uh , celebrate , as in a joint occupation , commemorating my release together . i know you 're probably , um , you know , out of sorts with general hospital being closed , but i thought you 'd be a little excited i was out of jail . at the very least , you could return my texts . i mean , you and curtis are really the only friends i have in town , and he 's not returning my texts , either , so ... finn : yeah , i know . i 'm s -- hayden : oh , uh , wh -- what the hell happened here ? [ scene_break ] curtis : [ exhales heavily ] [ groans ] [ sighs ] val ? valerie : hmm ? curtis : baby ? val ? valerie : mm . good morning . curtis : it is for me , but , um , you 're late for work , baby . you did n't set your alarm ? valerie : [ chuckles ] surprise . i finally , finally did n't pull the early shift today . curtis : oh . [ alarm beeping ] valerie : mm . [ chuckles ] curtis : ah . valerie : mm . curtis : so , if you did n't pull the early shift , why 'd you set your alarm ? valerie : i just wanted to make sure i had enough time for this . [ scene_break ] [ police radio chatter ] andré : pizza for breakfast . i stopped doing that after college . jordan : is it still breakfast if i have n't been to bed yet ? andré : mm . an all - nighter , huh ? jordan : mm - hmm . whatever it takes to figure out who 's been killing people at general hospital . andré : yeah , no one 's happy the hospital is shut down , except possibly the mayor . she 's been giving interviews congratulating herself on forcing the board to take decisive action . never mind all the patients missing out on important care because gh is shut down . jordan : see ? now you see why i 've been here all night . the only way that we 're gon na re - open the hospital is to prove to people that it 's safe . and the only way to do that ... is to find the killer . andré : okay , then . let 's get to work . [ scene_break ] griffin : `` peace , i leave with you . my peace i give to you . i do not give to you as the world gives . do not let your hearts be troubled , and do not be afraid . `` john 14 : 27 . any life that ends too soon is a tragedy . it 's normal after such a loss to feel bitterness and anger . but one thing i 've heard over and over again about sabrina is her resilience in the face of adversity , her refusal to give in to despair , and her determination to find the best in people . so , we are here to celebrate sabrina 's life if any of you wish to speak , you 're more than welcome to come up here , share a favorite thought or memory of sabrina . lucy : i have something to say . i would like to pay tribute to sabrina , and i would , um -- i would like to thank her for everything she gave to all of us . [ scene_break ] hayden : are you out of medication again ? i mean , is that why you tore up your room ? finn : no . no . i do n't have that as an excuse this time . i , um ... mnh . oh , that 's sweet . that 's not good . uh , um , so , you said you were unexpectedly , uh , released from jail . tell -- tell me everything . how did you get out ? hayden : do you really expect me to stand here and pretend that your room is n't trashed ? and what 's with that tie ? finn : uh , so , is that -- does that -- does that mean you 're out for good ? hayden : yeah . [ laughs ] yeah , my mother came forward and claimed that she was the one who had -- who 's been hiding the diamonds . finn : wow . hayden : so , she 's in jail , and , um , i 'm out . finn : that 's quite a sacrifice . hayden : yeah . no one was more shocked than me . though , i guess she figured she owed me , so ... finn : well , i - i certainly know how much you 've suffered because of your father 's crimes . hayden : you do n't know the half of it . finn : okay . hayden : it turns out that , um , raymond berlin , the man who swindled wall street and ruined my life in the process -- it turns out he 's actually not my father . i 'm the product of an affair . my real father is jeff webber , surgeon , humanitarian , and doctor without borders . finn : wow . no . of course . i 've heard his name mentioned at the hospital many times because of all his good work and that -- wait . does that mean that -- hayden : yeah . yeah , that insufferable twit , elizabeth webber , is my half- sister . [ scene_break ] franco : now is not such a good time . we can pencil you in for two weeks from tuesday . jason : i 'll tell you where you can put that pencil . hi . elizabeth : hey . jason : how you feeling ? elizabeth : better . [ door closes ] elizabeth : thanks for keeping jake . how 's he doing ? i really miss him . jason : he misses you , too . he asked me to give you this . elizabeth : aww . that boy . that 's beautiful . franco : oh , it 's nice . it 's like a neo - cubist . elizabeth : thank you for bringing this over . tell him i loved it . jason : i will . hey , uh , i 've got to get going , but i 'm happy you 're feeling better . elizabeth : thanks . what 's up with the suit ? is someone getting married today ? jason : no . it 's sabrina 's funeral . [ scene_break ] jordan : look , it 's not that i do n't appreciate your offer to help with the case , but i ... i do n't want to take advantage , you know ? you still have your patients to look after even though gh is closed . i mean , that 's got to be a logistical nightmare . andré : well , it is , but look at this way -- the quicker this case gets solved , the quicker gh can re - open . it 's not like i have n't helped you before . jordan : yeah . i mean ... yeah , your insights about the killer 's potential motives were -- were really helpful . andré : unfortunately , it was n't enough . and now that the killer has struck again , we need to factor in how sabrina 's murder fits into the equation . look , i 'll even spring for fresh pizza . disgusting . what have you got to lose ? [ scene_break ] curtis : mmm . valerie : [ exhales sharply ] curtis : mmm . valerie : [ exhales sharply ] curtis : [ exhales sharply ] valerie : [ laughs ] curtis : ah . valerie : well , that was definitely worth losing some beauty sleep . curtis : yeah . honey , you do n't need no beauty sleep . valerie : [ laughs ] curtis : whew . [ both exhaling ] valerie : i should probably get ready for work . [ both groaning ] curtis : i do n't know . ca n't you maybe play hooky , call in sick for the day ? valerie : i ca n't . not while the hospital is being shut down , because there 's a serial killer on the loose , one that i -- curtis : one that you what ? valerie : one that i was in the same room with , one that knocked me out to get a piece of evidence . curtis : and so , what , you somehow feel like a failure ? valerie : i should have been more alert . if i had turned around -- curtis : then he would have killed you , okay ? you got off easy . and i ... for one , am grateful , okay ? valerie : i know . i 'm -- i 'm glad i 'm not dead , but ... that does n't make me any less frustrated . after all those shifts at the hospital , why have n't i caught the killer ? curtis : baby , the veterans have n't caught the killer , either , okay ? you do n't have to try to solve every murder . valerie : not every murder , just this last one ... sabrina . [ scene_break ] lucy : thank you . i first met sabrina when she showed up out of the blue , accompanied by her dear friend felix dubois . sabrina was bound and determined to revive the nurses ' ball , and i told her , `` that 's crazy . it 's not gon na happen . it 's a waste of time , `` in no uncertain terms . well , sabrina was determined and she was persistent , and i know it 's because she believed in everything the nurses ' ball stands for -- compassion , community , and coming together to actually really do something good . [ sighs ] sabrina is the reason that i came back to port charles . [ sighs ] so , thank you , my friend . i will be eternally grateful to you for that . and -- and , of course , to felix , too . [ voice breaking ] felix , you want -- you want to come up next ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm going to sabrina 's funeral . jason : uh , i do n't think that 's a good idea . franco : you just got out of the hospital . you would still be in the hospital if it had n't closed . elizabeth : she was a good friend of mine . i need to say goodbye . jason : hey , sit down . sit down . sit down . look ... you almost died . you 've had major surgery . you 're not strong enough to go to a funeral . and since sabrina was a nurse , i am pretty sure she would tell you the same thing . elizabeth : i 'm sure she would . jason : yeah . hey , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i got to go . [ clears throat ] franco : can i refill your tea ? elizabeth : no thank you . franco : want me to re - fluff your pillow ? elizabeth : i do n't need my pillow fluffed . i need my friends to stop dying . you did n't know her , but emily was jason 's little sister . she was my best friend , and she died like a decade ago , and i still miss her . and nikolas -- i did n't even get to say goodbye to him . and now with sabrina , i did n't get to say goodbye to her , and i just -- [ sniffles ] i know i 've got my boys and gram , and i 've got you . i 've just never felt so alone . franco : well , i think i know exactly how to fix that . [ scene_break ] finn : so , elizabeth webber is your sister ? hayden : half - sister . do n't oversell it . finn : well , does that make a difference ? hayden : i do n't know . finn : mm . hayden : [ chuckles ] i mean , when i was a little girl , i was desperate to have a sister . i was so lonely as a child . i used to imagine what it would be like to have one , someone to play with , someone to confide in , someone i could trust . finn : well , yes , but there 's still plenty of time to develop a relationship as sisters . hayden : elizabeth thought i tried to kill her . she turned my diamonds into the police . my so - called sister is the reason i was in jail . finn : well , yes . no , clearly , there 's , uh -- there 's been quite a bit of miscommunication between the two of you , but -- hayden : no . you know what ? it 's really very simple . elizabeth hates me , and i hate her . the cosmic joke that we 're related , it does n't mean anything . finn : yes , it 's -- it is your life , right ? and if you , uh , choose to treat your si -- half - sister , um , by ignoring it , well , that 's -- hayden : tell me why you destroyed your room again . i mean , i do n't know carly all that well , but i do n't think she 's gon na be very happy about this . finn : yeah . i 'm gon na have to pay housekeeping quite a bit to keep them quiet . i hope no one reports me to management . speaking of which , i should probably get started on that , and this might be a good time for you to , uh -- hayden : no . i 'm not going anywhere . [ scene_break ] jordan : the earlier victims were all injected with derisifol . elizabeth was pushed down a staircase . sabrina was strangled and left on a floor in an empty icu room . andré : so , the killer 's getting sloppy . jordan : well , sabrina 's the one that found monica . maybe she -- maybe she was never intended to be the victim . he realized that she could id him . andré : well , still , all the victims have one thing in common -- gh . jordan : yeah . it 's a place where the killer can just move around freely without causing suspicion . andré : the photo on elizabeth 's phone shows the pant leg and shoes of what appears to be a well - dressed man . jordan : and the cuff link that valerie identified is a very high - end accessory , also consistent with a very well - dressed man . andré : i would speculate that our killer likes to dress to impress . what ? jordan : i - i just -- i feel like we 're making progress , you know ? i like bouncing ideas off of another one . i work better with a partner . valerie : i just need to pick up a file . curtis : [ chuckles ] valerie : i 'll walk you out after . curtis : pizza . let 's see -- sausage , mushrooms . boy , that takes me back . did y ' all pull an all - nighter ? y'all getting close to a breakthrough ? [ scene_break ] felix : i never pictured i 'd be standing here . it still seems impossible that sabrina 's gone . but like griffin said , we 're , uh -- we 're not here to give in to anger or bitterness . we 're here to remember just how amazing my friend sabrina was . jason : hey , i 'm sorry . i should have been here sooner . michael : it 's okay . jason : no , it 's not . [ sighs ] none of this is okay , but , uh , i 'm here for you , whatever you want , okay ? michael : [ sighs ] felix : so , how do i pay tribute to my friend sabrina ? i 'm really do n't know where to start . no , no , no , that 's -- that 's not true . i know exactly where to start . [ voice breaking ] i just do n't want to ... because if i start ... that means there has to be an end . i do n't remember exactly when sabrina and i became friends . just , one day , we were like this . no matter what was going on in sabrina 's life , she always made time for me , whether it was my dating troubles [ chuckles ] or our very intimidating head nurse . in the hospital , you see a lot of sadness , a lot of grief . but sabrina -- she could brighten even the darkest day . [ voice breaking ] i wish with all my heart ... i did n't have to get through this day without her . [ scene_break ] finn : are -- you 're saying you 're refusing to leave my room ? hayden : that 's right . it 's time to change up our dance . finn : dance ? what are you talking about dancing for ? since when have we been dancing ? hayden : we 've been dancing a long time , and it 's getting old . every time we talk about your your illness , you push me away , and i know why . finn : oh . by all means , do tell . hayden : you 're trying to protect my feelings . it 's sweet , but it 's misguided . i do n't need protection . i mean , after all , i 've spent a night in jail . it toughens you . finn : is that right , `` hard core `` ? you 're , uh -- you 're toughened up now because you spent less than , what , 24 hours in jail ? hayden : finn , i 'm serious . you have a fatal illness , and that 's a lot for anyone emotionally and physically . so , you know , if you 're not feeling well or if you 're having trouble getting your next round of medication or you 're just frustrated you ca n't find a cure , you can -- you can tell me . i wo n't break . finn : i know . but i might . i was telling you the truth before . um ... i did n't , uh , tear the place apart , because i was looking for medication . my , uh -- my little tantrum here had nothing to do with me being sick . hayden : okay . then what was it about ? what got you so upset ? albert einstein ? [ chuckles ] it 's not really your style . finn : no . no , it is n't , not at all . it was a gift from my wife , and today 's our anniversary . [ scene_break ] jordan : what are you doing here , curtis ? curtis : mmm . i came to drop off valerie -- unless that 's a crime , too . jordan : why do n't you stick around and find out ? curtis : [ chuckles ] valerie : i 'll see you later . curtis : right . uh , cuff links , expensive dresser . please tell me y ' all do n't think the killer 's a doctor . jordan : well , based on the clothes and the cuff links , yeah , we 're thinking it 's someone with money , someone in a position of power . a doctor would make the most sense . curtis : yeah , 'cause doctors do be having that god complex . no offense , doc . andré : my god complex and i forgive you . curtis : but , see , doctors ai n't the only powerful people to go through the hospital . i mean , how many people would you say go through there a day ? valerie : do you think the killer could be a former patient ? curtis : it 's possible , but they would n't have very much access . sooner or later , someone would know that they did n't belong . i 'm thinking the gh killer is someone who could roam through the hospital in an official capacity , someone confident that their presence would n't be questioned . jordan : someone like a cop . [ scene_break ] tracy : this is too hard . dante : i know it 's no consolation , but , uh , sabrina 's death could actually help us catch the gh killer . tracy : dare i hope you have a lead ? dante : we might have a couple , but this killer -- he also -- he did n't plan this out . with forensics , maybe it 'll lead us to some dna evidence , as well . tracy : [ scoffs ] you 're right . bad as i want the killer caught , it is small consolation . griffin : does anyone else wish to share a memory of sabrina ? elizabeth : i do . jason : you know she really should n't be pushing herself . franco : just do n't . we talked about it , and elizabeth really needs to be here . she really needs to grieve . elizabeth : thank you . [ exhales sharply ] i had been working at general hospital for quite a long time before sabrina joined our staff . but we clicked right away . she loved taking care of her patients . it was definitely in her blood . she was ... one of the kindest people i have ever known . i mean , yeah , i know she made -- she made mistakes . but she was never malicious . she never bent the rules for her own personal gain . and she taught me to trust my own feelings . so , starting today , for sabrina , i 'm gon na try to be more like her . i think that 's the best way i can honor my friend 's memory . [ scene_break ] finn : my wife was the best doctor i 've ever known . [ chuckles ] she had this incredible bedside manner , you know , something most doctors do n't have -- like me . hayden : really ? because , uh , i think tracy quartermaine would disagree with that . finn : well , tracy and i just get along 'cause we 're both so direct . but , you know , everybody liked reiko . you know , she had this great way of making everyone happy , of having fun , having fun with what she did . [ sighs ] and then she would notice sometimes that when we were working , when we were trying to find a cure for this illness overseas , that i had a tendency to get a little obsessive , a little serious sometimes . hayden : really ? finn : yeah , really . hayden : that 's shocking . finn : i know . so , she 'd buy me these -- these ties , these crazy , silly ties , novelty ties , you know , hula girls and -- and cartoon characters . and i -- [ chuckles ] i never liked wearing them , you know , because i never wanted to be the guy that does something that stands out . hayden : says the man with the bearded dragon . finn : well , do n't blame me because roxy 's a showboat . i mean , the kid 's a star . hayden : [ laughs ] finn : no . we 'd -- we 'd been there for a while , and reiko wanted to go home . she missed her family . but i wanted to stay . there was this maniacal part of me that thought it was important to be where the disease originated , that that 's how , you know , we were gon na find a cure . you know , that was -- that was important and ... ... my wife agreed to stay with me . one day , we , um ... got these new samples , this new batch of the disease in , and i -- i -- i do n't know , but i guess we were n't as careful as we sh -- we should have been . hayden : it 's okay . finn : reiko was exposed . she got real sick . [ sighs ] and it was because of me , you know ? she wanted -- she wanted to go home . but i thought it was important to stay there and find a cure . she got sick because of me . i mean , she never -- she never brought it up . she never blamed me . she gave me this tie on what turned out to be our final anniversary . and she asked me not to just wear this one in the lab , not just wear it inside , but go out and show the world . so , i promised her , starting that night ... [ breathes deeply ] ... i 'd always wear this tie -- this tie on my anniversary . [ scene_break ] jordan : you 're accusing one of the pcpd of being a serial killer ? curtis : well , i did n't say that . you did . i 'm simply saying it 's someone who could move throughout the hospital , someone no one would suspect . now , that does n't necessarily mean doctors or cops . andré : what about administrators ? valerie : or a member of the gh board . they were always having meetings when i was on patrol at the hospital . no one ever gave them a second look . jordan : valerie , make a list of all non - medical gh personnel , preferably those in high ranking and those who have been issued a hospital id . valerie : i 'm on it . [ keys clacking ] andré : this is good . let 's get down to business . curtis : you 're welcome . [ scene_break ] griffin : okay . thank you , elizabeth . uh , is there anyone else that would care to speak ? michael : uh , i - i would . well , um ... how do i sum up sabrina ? or how i -- how i felt about her ? like everyone else said , i mean , she was -- she was a good person , you know ? she w -- she was kind . she had a big heart . and she was just fun to be around . when i -- when i had brief custody of my baby sister , avery , sabrina was so good with her . and i realize , looking back , seeing the way sabrina was with avery , the , uh ... the tenderness , patience , and -- and love that she showed avery ... ... it was then i realized ... [ voice breaking ] it was then i realized that i - i - i loved her . then i ... carly : can i say a few words about sabrina ? michael : yeah . carly : michael was estranged from his family for a good reason when sabrina came into his life . and it was sabrina that saw that the only way to move forward was through forgiveness . and it was sabrina who encouraged michael to come back to his family . i 'll always be grateful for the bridge she gave us and for the joy she brought to my son . michael : sabrina died too soon . but she lived her life to the fullest . and she used her time to help people , and she left this world a better place than when she found it . i am so grateful i had the chance to know her and to love her . griffin : um , thank you all for sharing your thoughts and memories of sabrina . obviously , she was loved by so many . epiphany ? as a final celebration of sabrina 's life , i would like to hand the floor over to one of sabrina 's general hospital colleagues . epiphany : [ sighs ] i hope you know , sabrina , that , uh , to everyone at gh , you were a wonderful gift . it 's not gon na be easy ... without you , but we 're gon na -- we 're gon na do our damndest to measure up . [ singing ] you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore i know you think there 's no way out like you 've been living in the dark but you do n't have to feel alone i know you 're reaching up for the sky and you keep searching for that light but you do n't have to search anymore we 'll be the hands to hold you up we 'll be the eyes to help you see we are here we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore we 'll be the hands to hold you up we 'll be the eyes to help you see we are here we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore you 're not alone sonny : that was a nice job you did . carly : yeah . what 's nice is michael let me . jason : hey , uh , i meant what i said . if you need anything , let me know . michael : no . i appreciate that , but there 's nothing you can do . i ... i have to [ sighs ] figure out what happens next , you know , how to move on ... maybe even do some good for someone . i know that 's what sabrina would want for me . [ scene_break ] hayden : the tie looks fantastic on you . finn : no . hayden : clearly , reiko had great taste . i know the perfect way to celebrate this occasion . finn : no selfies . if you go for that phone , i 'm leaving . hayden : [ laughs ] you are ? really ? finn : yeah . hayden : no selfies , okay ? but today 's your anniversary , and from the way you describe her , i do n't think your wife would want you to celebrate alone . finn : you 're probably right . i think you would have liked her . hayden : think she would have liked me ? finn : yeah . she would have liked you . hayden : to reiko . finn : reiko . [ scene_break ] franco : here you go . elizabeth : [ groans lightly ] thank you for taking me to sabrina 's memorial . franco : no problem . elizabeth : it was really important for me to go . franco : get some rest now , okay ? that day nurse is gon na give me a hard time if you 're overtired tomorrow . elizabeth : [ sighs ] are you gon na be here when i wake up ? franco : would you like for me to be here when you wake up ? well , then here 's where i 'll be . [ scene_break ] tracy : thank you for all your help with the service . griffin : i just hope that everyone who loved sabrina can finally find some peace now . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 've downloaded all the board members ' and pertinent employees ' files . jordan : andré , would you mind working with valerie to see which people best fit the profile that we 're looking for ? andré : i 'd be happy to , if you do n't mind ordering another pizza . jordan : you know , for a fit guy , you sure can pack on the carbs . curtis : remember that drug ring we busted in that old warehouse ? i believe the night we cracked the case , we finished about four of those pizzas . jordan : curtis , i am much too busy to take a walk down memory lane with you . curtis : oh , this ai n't about reminiscing . it 's about the cartel . remember , we could n't figure out who was running the operation until we realized it was the former owner of the warehouse . jordan : right . the guy that we were looking for was right underneath our noses the whole time .

people attend sabrina 's memorial service and speak of their friendship and love for sabrina and how they will miss her . paul attends and nobody suspects him . yet while that goes on , jordan is determined to find a clue of whom the hospital killer is who has taken the lives of many people and has forced the hospital to shut down , due to failure to find and catch this killer . andré , curtis and valerie all assist her to figure out about who it could be . they realize the cufflinks and men 's dress shoes indicate this person is probably a professional , could be a doctor , possibly a cop , or could , for all they know , be someone they 've seen and known there but would never suspect . yet they still do not come up with naming da hornsby as a suspect . when the service is over , paul is haunted by the memory of murdering sabrina as he sits alone in the chapel staring at her picture . when he believes he 's completely alone with only god and the picture of the deceased , he confesses to her how sorry he is to have done what he did . tracy walks inside to hear that , asks him whom and for what he is sorry for and he admits to tracy that he killed sabrina .

skye : ned did not rape that girl . scott : got proof ? ned : i 've never been accused of anything like this before . now i have custody of kristina , and suddenly i 'm hit with charges of sexual assault and rape . does that strike you as more than a coincidence ? scott : not really because i know how you like your action -- faith rosco right out there in broad daylight , now this little young chickie . ned : no , do n't twist this around . i was arrested , and then -- bam ! -- judge farmer takes my child away from me . skye : alexis assumed she 'd get custody . that 's why she set ned up in the first place , only it all backfired and she never got kristina at all . scott : well , i 'd like to nail alexis , for this or anything else . ned : then look into it . connect the dots . skye : might as well start with stefan . he probably helped alexis arrange the whole thing . scott : not from here he did n't . ned : oh , right . because security 's always been such a top priority here at the pcpd . scott : does n't really matter , anyway . skye : why not ? scott : because as long as this girl is sticking to her story , the charges hold . connect those dots . cindy : i ca n't keep doing this . [ scene_break ] stefan : listen , i 've told the police that you 're my aunt . no one suspects that you 're really ned ashton 's distraught victim . cindy : i mean the getup . it 's driving me nuts . stefan : you have played your part beautifully so far . now is not the time to become careless . cindy : do n't worry . i 've got it under control . stefan : are you clear on what you have to do ? cindy : it 's already in the works . stefan : good . skye : have you at least looked into cindy 's background ?

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : what was carly doing visiting nikolas cassadine ? andy : i do n't know . i covered with some excuse about looking in on nikolas , and then i had to post some guards to make it look legit . lorenzo : in other words , you made a mistake . andy : nikolas will be released today . he 'll be wide - open . lorenzo : do it right this time . the cassadines are becoming a problem . i want them under control . cindy : this is n't what it looks like .

[ scene_break ] zander : who got her ? alexis : your father . zander : you 're kidding , right ? alexis : one would think . the judge -- and i use the term loosely -- felt that your father would provide a more stable environment for her . zander : huh . well , dad 's always been able to talk a pretty good game . so what do you want me to do ? alexis : i 'm not sure if i was nice to him the last time or not nice , but in case i was not nice , i 'd like you to smooth things over for me . zander : well , my dad and i do n't have that good of a relationship . i mean , we do n't outright hate each other anymore , but our relationship pretty much consists of leaving and returning phone messages . alexis : you have more influence than you think . zander : is there anything in particular you 'd like me to talk to him about ? alexis : i want you to speak to him on my behalf , convince him that i should be allowed visitation . zander : i 'll try . alexis : thanks . cameron : kristina was turned over to my custody without any warning or prep time .

[ scene_break ] ric : i just want to make sure that you 're all right . elizabeth : the whole idea is for me to do this on my own , and hopefully by the time i master using the cane , i wo n't need it anymore . ric : ok . i 'll come back and check on you later . ned : ric lansing . just the man we 're looking for . ric : ned ashton . skye chandler - quartermaine ? ned : good memory . ric : mm - hmm . well , it 's kind of hard to forget jason and brenda 's murder trial . you made quite an impression . skye : oh . yes , how nice of you to remember me at my best . he 's the right man . ric : for what ? ned : this may be an indelicate question , but we are aware of your recent problems here in town . are you still practicing law ? ric : yes , the last time i looked . and the last time i looked in the paper , i saw that you were having troubles of your own . ned : mm - hmm . well , the charges were false which is why we 're looking for legal representation . ric : i see . and how can i help you ? skye : well , we 'd like to drag somebody through the deepest , dirtiest mud we can find . we hear you 're just the person to do it . zander : so why 'd the judge pick you ? [ scene_break ] cameron : i guess i was the lesser of three evils between an accused rapist father , an admitted murderer mother , or a flawed - but - not - criminal psychiatrist . alexis : it 's because judge farmer is an incompetent and should be thrown off the bench , who 's also prejudiced against me . cameron : can you blame her ? alexis : yes , and i do . she is also a criminal because she takes bribes from the quartermaines . cameron : there 's absolutely no proof of that , alexis . alexis : oh , yes , there is , and she 's ruled in their favor every single time . cameron : can you blame her ? they certainly appear to be more stable than you or dobson . zander : ok , wait a second ; i thought you were on alexis ' side . alexis : thank you , zander . cameron : well , no , i 'm on kristina 's side , but she 's rapidly running out of relatives . [ knock on door ] zander : oh , boy . scott : well , well , well . gang 's all here . cameron : what brings you to my son 's home , d.a . baldwin ? scott : best news i 've had in weeks -- you 're under arrest . felony fraud and the false charges against ned ashton . nikolas : mr. alcazar . your timing is perfect . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : is the money ready ? nikolas : it 's right there . lorenzo : i 'm not accustomed to doing business like this . it sends a bad message . nikolas : i told you it 's the best i can do right now . lorenzo : well , that may be , but we wo n't be doing business like this again . [ next_on ] courtney : do n't you dare go anywhere near carly , faith . sonny : i want you and the baby home safe . alexis : you murdered an innocent girl . stefan : whatever i 've done has been purely for nikolas . nikolas : i 'm showing good faith by making partial payment .

nikolas : what 's got you so engrossed ? emily : ah . it 's a sketch of a wedding dress i 'm considering -- nikolas : yeah ? emily : which you ca n't see yet . nikolas : all right . well , if you ca n't find anything you like , we can always have helena and tracy decide , since they 've both teamed up to promote this happy occasion . emily : i was hoping they were n't serious . nikolas : they seem pretty serious to me . emily : yeah , yeah , i shudder to think what those two would do if they were actually able to influence our wedding . nikolas : yeah . do n't worry , we 'll elope before that happens . [ emily laughs ] emily : yeah , that 's not such a bad idea . you know , we could do it tonight -- hop in the jag , find a justice of the peace . nikolas : do n't tempt me , all right , because i 'm doing all of this stuff here just for you . i 'd be just as happy if we skipped it . emily : you know , seriously , nikolas , maybe we should . nikolas : are you serious ? because if you are , we 'll -- i 'll go right now . elizabeth : hello ! hey ! i know we 're early , but we just wanted to help . emily : help with what ? lucky : i knew it . elizabeth : your only engagement party here tonight ? nikolas : what ? emily : we did n't plan a party . nikolas : i think we have a pretty good idea who may have . [ scene_break ] donna : i 'm not sure i can keep up with the lies . i mean , i 'm afraid i might slip , or confuse emily with elizabeth and point the finger at the wrong girl . tracy : they are nothing alike . elizabeth is the short one with the pouty lips . helena : and you 'll keep the story straight . you have no choice . donna : look , i 'm a wreck . my -- my hands -- they 're shaking . tracy : take that . it 'll calm your nerves . [ scene_break ] mike : oh , wow . you look -- you look tired . you heading home for a good , long rest ? jax : no . actually , i feel great . i 'm going to pull an all - nighter . i intend to watch the sun come up . [ scene_break ] john : you should try the coffee . it 's quite good . steven : i thought you 'd be back in new york by now . john : what gave you that impression ? steven : well , let 's see -- your daughter , carly , does n't want anything to do with her newfound father , and port charles ' very own kingpin , who happens to be her husband , is itching to take you out . john : and your point is ? steven : why are you still hanging around here ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : there , and there . then you have to go through the same thing on the next page , and just get their signature . thank you . carly : mama -- hey , i need -- do you have a minute , because i really need to talk to you . bobbie : all right . carly : i met my father . his name is john durant and he 's a federal prosecutor in new york city . i see . you knew , right ? you knew all along . bobbie : yes , carly , i did . [ scene_break ] sonny : what did you find in durant 's hotel room ? jason : nothing . it 's clean . there 's no indication of what he 's doing here . sonny : oh . even though we all know that durant 's using carly 's connection to try to take us down ? jason : durant has spent his entire adult life taking guys like us off the street . he not only gets the arrest , he makes them stick right up through conviction . sonny : what about steven webber ? jason : he and durant have worked together in the past . sonny : all right , keep doing what you 're doing , ok ? those two showing up in port charles at the same time is not a coincidence . jason : i told carly to just stay away from durant . sonny : well -- yeah , well , i told her it 's her choice . jason : well , that could be a mistake . michael : daddy , come quick ! something 's wrong with morgan ! sonny : what do you mean ? michael : i do n't know . sonny : what do you mean ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : ok , i 'm missing something here . what could be the ulterior motive in helena and tracy throwing you an engagement party ? nikolas : they want us to forget what they 're really doing -- framing emily for mary 's murder . emily : yeah , as if we could . lucky : all right , you know what ? let 's just put our heads together , sort out what happened the night that mary was killed . maybe something will jump out at one of us . nikolas : ok . emily left mary 's room and found elizabeth with the meds cart , right ? elizabeth : i realized i 'd forgotten the water , so i left em alone . emily : i picked up mary 's medication and thought about how easy it would be to switch it or overdose her , and then i took the pills into her room . lucky : and i saw you come out . elizabeth : wait , wait , wait a minute . back up . are you thinking that you somehow unconsciously switched mary 's meds for the ones that killed her ? emily : the thought has occurred to me , yeah . elizabeth : ok , well , get it out of your head because that 's impossible . a switch that specific would take conscious thought , and it could n't have happened in a second . nikolas : which means the lethal dose must 've already been in the cup when elizabeth brought the meds cart , right ? lucky : mary would 've died that night no matter who administered the drug . nikolas : yeah , so emily was just in the wrong place at the wrong time . elizabeth : that 's brilliant , you guys . lucky : yeah , but too bad we ca n't prove it . emily : and do n't forget the police have an eyewitness who swears that she saw me go into mary 's room with a med cup . lucky : a witness none of us ever saw . nikolas : exactly , which is why i think that nurse harris was never actually in the room . someone just paid her to say she was . [ scene_break ] donna : i 'm only doing this -- lying to the police and taking your money -- because my sister is in such need . tracy : we all have our price . donna : i only hope that god will forgive me for this . helena : oh , god 's wrath will pale in comparison to mine if you do n't follow our instructions to the letter . if you deviate even one iota -- donna : you do n't have to paint me a picture . i get your message loud and clear . helena : then we should n't have a problem . tracy : florence nightingale is a little too jumpy for my taste . the police could put some pressure on her . she could cave and admit that she not only was not on the floor the night mary was killed , but we paid her to say she was . helena : hmm . unless we keep nurse harris on point , neither of us gets what we want . tracy : yeah -- sweet , little , virtuous emily in prison with no chance of inheriting my mother 's money . helena : and nikolas free to marry someone more pliable . an actual bloodline would be nice . tracy : there 's one loose end . emily did not kill mary . someone did . it was you , was n't it ? [ scene_break ] john : i 'm not leaving port charles until sonny corinthos is behind bars . steven : how do you plan to accomplish that ? you 've lost the element of surprise . carly knows you 're her father , both she and sonny suspect your motives . where are you going to find your leverage ? john : come on , doc . you know me by now . never underestimate me . there are many , many inroads to carly and sonny . it 's all about picking just the right one . [ scene_break ] bobbie : i knew that john had become a federal prosecutor . and considering sonny 's line of work , i also knew that could mean big trouble . carly : so that 's why you tried so hard to talk me out of searching for him ? bobbie : mm - hmm . but then you stole my diary , you found his initials . there was no stopping you . carly : did you always know that john durant was my father ? bobbie : i suspected . carly : so all those years that you told me that he was some anonymous trick , it was just -- it was a lie ? bobbie : he was , carly . you need to be clear on that . i met john durant as a customer . carly : well , your diary seemed to make it sound like a lot more , mom . bobbie : i was lonely . i was trapped in a life i hated . and john was young , he was handsome , and i wanted to believe he was interested in more than sex for money . i really wanted to believe that he could actually care about me . i mean , even then it was very obvious to me that john was headed for bigger and better things , and that i was n't going to be able to follow in his footsteps . but even so , i decided to take the risk . i put my heart on the line . carly : why ? bobbie : because john did n't return my feelings . he was in love with someone else -- susy brandes . i actually went to high school with her . she was rich and privileged and a little sheltered . and when i found out john was in love with her , i got jealous and i acted without thinking -- something i 'm always telling you not to do . carly : what did you do ? bobbie : i told susy that john and i were sleeping together and she broke up with him . i actually think she broke his heart . and when john came to see me , he was angry , devastated . we had a horrible fight and he told me that i meant nothing to him and that he never wanted to see me again . carly : mom , i 'm sorry . bobbie : a couple of weeks later i realized i was pregnant . i knew john was the father -- at least i really wanted him to be . but by the time i got up the courage to tell him , he and his family had moved away , because his father was an air force captain and they never stayed in one place for very long . and then it was years before i found john again . carly : how did you ? bobbie : luke helped me , reluctantly . he said john durant had treated me like dirt , and i should just forget the whole thing . but then when i told luke that it was really important , he came through for me like he always does . but by the time we tracked john down , he -- he was out of school ; he was working in law enforcement . you were in florida with your adoptive family , and the whole thing did n't seem like it was such great , urgent news anymore . carly : so you went to all that trouble to track him down , and you just let it go ? bobbie : i did keep up with his career . he came up through the ranks like a house on fire . but it was very clear to me there was n't any room in his life for a teenage hooker that he 'd knocked up one summer , or the daughter that he did n't know he fathered . he made federal prosecutor , you came to port charles , you got involved with sonny . the whole thing seemed to me like it was a lot more trouble than any of us needed . oh , honey . if i made the wrong decision , i 'm really sorry . carly : i get it . i get it . you were trying to protect me and my family . that 's why i -- i left john in new york and i did n't tell him who i was . i wanted to go before he could figure it out , but he did anyway . can you imagine what it 's like for him to find out that he has a grown daughter and she 's married to a mobster ? bobbie : carly , i 'm more interested in you . now that the truth is out , and the father you so desperately wanted is here wanting to know you , do you want to keep on walking ? [ scene_break ] jason : what 's wrong with him ? sonny : i do n't know . he 's burning up . what happened , mikey ? michael : i heard him when i went to get a glass of water . he was breathing funny . jason : we got to get him to the emergency room right now . sonny : all right . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , according to the caterer , helena hired them . emily : it 'd be nice if she 'd bothered to tell us . nikolas : yeah , well , she knew we would n't participate in any farce of a party thrown by her and tracy . elizabeth : oh , hey , you guys . i 'm really worried about lucky . nikolas : why ? emily : what 's wrong ? elizabeth : he just took off with that look in his eye . if he -- if he tries to accuse helena and tracy of framing you , and they realize he means to expose them , there 's no telling what those witches will do . [ scene_break ] ned : hey . monica : hi ! you know , it 's kind of traditional to tell the parents when you 're going to have an engagement party . your father is n't even back from a conference in baltimore . emily : listen , you probably found out about this before nikolas and i did . ned : now , how would that work ? emily : well , evidently , helena and tracy have entered into some unholy alliance and -- [ scene_break ] nikolas : uh -- what the hell is she thinking ? what -- alexis : that 's an interesting choice of dress for a party . nikolas : oh , you think ? yeah , ric 's an interesting choice for a date . did you forget that he 's prosecuting emily and me ? so , out of respect for my aunt , i wo n't ask you to leave , but stay away from emily and me . ric : that was pleasant . alexis : he is understandably upset . ric : well , i told you that he was n't going to be pleased with my presence here , but you would n't take no for an answer . so , why is that , alexis ? why did you really bring me here ? [ scene_break ] ned : helena and my mother -- now , that 's a scary pairing . emily : yeah , tell me about it . you know , this party , ned -- nikolas and i had nothing to do with it . we did n't even know about it until people started showing up . the new best friends , helena and tracy , put this together without our knowledge or consent . and you know what ? consent matters . i 'm going to put an end to this charade right now . excuse me . nikolas : no -- no , you 're not . [ scene_break ] donna : oh ! lucky : that package looks heavy . you sure you got enough postage ? donna : positive . lucky : you know it 's not smart to send large sums of cash through the mail . i mean , what if somebody stole it ? donna : oh , that is n't money . i 'm sending my sister some pictures . lucky : and i 'm guessing the only pictures that are in this package are probably pictures of dead presidents on cash that you received to make sure that emily takes the rap for mary bishop 's murder . donna : no , i -- lucky : do n't try to deny it . please , just tell me who paid you . [ scene_break ] helena : you seem to be under the impression that you know me very well , and that is a mistake . however , i will indulge your curiosity . you 're right . i have absolutely no use for mary bishop . she was a loathsome little creature , high - strung and useless . well , she was even more unsuitable for nikolas than emily . you 're right , i could 've had her killed many times , but -- well , i thought about it , but i did n't do it . can you say the same ? tracy : one , i did n't know her . two , i do n't care who nikolas sleeps with . ergo , no motive . helena : well , as you so astutely pointed out , someone did , and that someone is not likely to come forward with it to save emily . so i think we congratulate ourselves for a job well done and get about the business of this evening . we have a party to host . [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] carly : of course i 'm curious about my father , mama . i always have been . but i can not live in a little girl dream world anymore . i mean , this is reality , and i 'm with my husband , and john durant is an enemy of sonny 's . bobbie : did sonny ask you to stay away from john ? carly : look , in his heart , i know that he wishes that i would . but he told me it 's my decision to make and he 's not going to get in the way . bobbie : so you are choosing not to know your father ? carly : i 'm protecting my family . bobbie : ok , carly . i think you 're doing yourself a big disservice . carly : well , mama , you -- you want me to have a relationship with john durant ? bobbie : well , i do n't know about a relationship , but i think you should talk to him . give him a chance to get to know the family he never even knew he had . and listen to things he wants to tell you about himself and about his life . honey , when you started this search , you said you wanted to know who you were and where you came from . well , this is your chance , and it may be the only one you ever have . so do n't be too quick to reject it . [ phone rings ] carly : hello ? yeah , hey , jase . ok , i 'm -- i 'm on my way . ok . bye . bobbie : what 's going on ? carly : it 's morgan . come on . [ scene_break ] dr. o'donnell : what happened ? sonny : he got a fever . i do n't know , i think it just came on . jason : he 's having trouble breathing . carly : hey . hey , hey , hey , how 's he doing ? what 's going on ? oh , he 's burning up . dr. o'donnell : take morgan into a peds room . carly : i 'll do it , i 'll do it . come here , come here . come here , baby . come on , come on . sonny : what do you think is wrong with my son ? dr. o'donnell : well , we wo n't know until we run some tests . i need to stabilize him , maybe take -- carly : dr. o'donnell , morgan 's convulsing ! jason : michael . michael : i 'm scared . jason : it 's ok . [ scene_break ] donna : look , i 'm sorry , officer spencer , but i must 've been out of town the day that the port charles police department decided that it was a crime for one family member to take care of another . lucky : you know , most people , they would 've sent a check , a wire bank transfer , but you -- you know , you just could n't afford that kind of paper trail . i 'm sorry , ms. harris , but i 'm going to have to take you into the pcpd for questioning , which now the only thing left for you to do is just try to make it easy for yourself . donna : wait . what 's going to happen to me ? lucky : well , you 'll probably be arrested for obstruction of justice -- that 's for starters . you could be named co - conspirator in the death of mary bishop . donna : wait , but i had nothing to do with that . lucky : hmm . wo n't matter to helena and tracy . they 'll just turn this frame around on you so fast you wo n't even know what hit you . which means you 'll probably spend the rest of your life in prison . or you could just try to work with me . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] jax : courtney ? come on , i know you 're in there . do n't even try it . courtney : you 're right , jax , i 'm in here , and you 're not . and it 's going to stay that way , so you might as well go home ! jax : oh , no , i do n't think so . see , i 'm all set up out here to wait you out . i 've even got a nice dinner , thanks to your dad -- who wishes you luck , by the way . not that that 's going to help much , because you are going to lose this bet . courtney : you are delusional , jax . you are . the bet is over ! i 've already won ! jax : no , no , no , i 've got until -- i 've got until midnight . that gives me plenty of time . [ scene_break ] emily : listen , i do n't understand . why would you be going along with this ridiculous party ? nikolas : to lull my grandmother and tracy into a false sense of security , make them think that , you know , their plan is working . i mean , if lucky is on to something , then we can give him time to follow - up without them trying to head him off . emily : but do n't you think it 's going to raise a red flag when helena and tracy realize that lucky 's not here ? nikolas : yes , yeah . in the meantime , we 'll just -- we 'll go along with the party , and we 'll just keep an eye on helena and tracy , ok ? emily : ok . maybe we should add insult to injury and actually enjoy it . [ scene_break ] alexis : excuse me . hi . i just wanted you to know that i 'm not as insensitive as it may appear for my choice of dates . there 's a reason that i brought him , there 's a plan , and you need to trust me . ric : you seem a little cold . elizabeth : well , what were you expecting ? ric : i 'm not sure . i know you overheard me speaking to alexis at the cellar . elizabeth : the part about our marriage being over ? yeah , i heard it . ric : elizabeth , i -- elizabeth : ric , really , there 's no need to explain . you 're right . our marriage is over and so are we . but since you brought it up , i just have to ask -- would you be pursuing a future with alexis if she did n't have a past with sonny ? nikolas : may i have your attention , please ? i would like to propose a toast to emily , my future wife . all : hear , hear ! nikolas : oh -- and to our gracious hostesses , tracy quartermaine and helena cassadine . yes , we thank you both for this -- well , this wonderful surprise . and -- but most of all , for your good wishes . may they return to you two - fold . emily : i 'll drink to that . [ scene_break ] dr. o'donnell : it appears to be an acute infection of some kind . sonny : what kind ? dr. o'donnell : i 'm sorry i ca n't be more specific , but it 's like nothing i 've ever seen before . sonny : is morgan still convulsing ? dr. o'donnell : no , they 've stopped , but there 's no guarantee they wo n't reoccur . his fever is coming down , but he has an atypical rash that 's spreading . carly : well , can you give him something ? dr. o'donnell : well , we 're giving him antibiotics right now in his i.v . , but we can expect his blood and spinal cultures back soon . carly : well , is there anything else you can do ? dr. o'donnell : fortunately , the hospital just hired a specialist with expertise in this area . steven : i just got your page . where is the little boy ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : and if anyone needs me , i 'll be in e.r . with my grandson . thank you . john : barbara . bobbie : john . john : i apologize for interrupting you here at work , but i -- i could n't sleep . i -- i was wondering if you and carly had a chance to talk about me yet . [ scene_break ] steven : well , it sounds like a rare strain of gram - positive bacteria . you probably started morgan on an antibiotic that it 's not sensitive to . carly : oh , my god . so , what are you going to do ? steven : do n't worry , the medication wo n't hurt morgan . unfortunately , it ca n't help him , either . i 'll need the initial l.p. results along with the blood and spinal cultures . i need you to tell me about morgan 's day . carly : um -- sonny : he was -- he was with michael and his nanny most of the time at home . then they went to the park . steven : is the nanny here ? carly : no , she 's back at home . steven : ok , i 'll need to speak with her . carly : why ? why ? what do you think she 's going to tell you ? steven : well , children morgan 's age explore the world with their mouths . they pick up an object , in it goes , and if she saw him get into something , it could help me narrow the field of options . michael : i think morgan 's sick because of me . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : em , it 's beautiful . emily : really ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . emily : i do n't know . i 'm not sure . yeah , i should probably hide it so helena does n't find out my designer 's name . she 'd probably call and order it in black or something . elizabeth : you know , do the opposite -- [ thunder ] elizabeth : keep it out as an affirming symbol of your future with nikolas . because you guys are crazy in love and you have nothing to hide . [ scene_break ] ric : so , are we having fun yet ? you be sure to let me know . alexis : i 'm sorry it 's so painful for you to have to be my escort . ric : no , actually , you 've been surprisingly tolerable . i 'm sure it 's because you 're loving the fact that i 'm in such an uncomfortable position . alexis : actually , i 'm finding it slightly amusing . ric : hmm . well , frankly , i 'm glad that helena and tracy showed up . maybe they can wear the bad - guest onus for a while . what ? alexis : would you look at them ? take a good , long look at them . they are in love ; they have their whole lives together . do you honestly think she is capable of killing anyone , let alone mary bishop ? ric : no . as a matter -- you know what ? i do n't know . the fact of the matter is i wish i had something , anything that would point me someplace else . but unfortunately , emily and elizabeth and lucky compromised themselves from the very beginning by lying . and while we 're on the subject , you know what ? speaking of lying , why do n't you be honest with me ? did you actually just bring me here so that you could convince me to change my mind about emily , or did you bring me here because -- i do n't know -- maybe you enjoy my company ? alexis : maybe . ric : `` maybe `` is not an answer . [ scene_break ] ned : mother ? it 's not like you to be a wallflower . tracy : darling , this party is n't about me . it 's a celebration of emily and nikolas . ned : oh , please . you do n't give a flying fig about nikolas and emily . this is your attempt to impress felicia with your auntie - of - the - bride routine so then she 'll think you 're deserving of grandmother 's inheritance . am i right ? i think i 'm right . it 's not going to work . unless this is a lot more sinister than it appears . lucky : excuse me ! but if i could get everybody 's attention , please ? so sorry i was delayed , but i had to get a very special wedding gift for the bride and groom . i have proof that helena and tracy framed emily for murder . [ scene_break ] jax : mmm ! dinner was delicious ! lamb pie -- your dad made it special . courtney : yuck . jax : hey , that 's authentic australian grub . do n't knock it until you try it . what are you doing in there , anyway ? courtney : hmm . i 'm just thinking of all the ways my foundation is going to benefit from that $ 10 million check you 're about to give me . come on , jax , why do n't you just save us both a tedious wait and just accept the inevitable ? jax : i accepted it weeks ago . that 's when you lost , and your behavior now is confirming that . i bet you 've got about a half a dozen pieces of furniture barricading the doorway , huh ? and why is that , courtney ? is it to keep me out , or to keep you in ? i mean , you got to admit you 're afraid to come face - to - face with me because -- because you know what 'll happen . we 'll take one look at each other , and then all bets will be officially off . it 's inevitable . you and i are going to be lovers . but if i 'm wrong , why do n't you open the door and prove it ? i dare you .

[ scene_break ] jerry : if i can find you and walk in here with a loaded gun , so can whoever killed your nanny , which is why you need to get out of here , and which is why i 'm putting you both , as well as michael and morgan , under my protection . jax : you must be kidding . jerry : oh , come on , we all have the same common enemy . and it 's obvious that sonny 's vaunted island security is highly overrated . jax : you know , i have my own security measures when it comes to somebody sneaking up on me and my wife with a gun . jerry : oh , really . what 's that ? [ carly laughs ] jax : and while we 're at it , jerry , why do n't you remind us again where you were the night our nanny was strangled ? sonny : there 's something off here because , i 'll tell you what , zacchara would n't hide behind a private number . he definitely would n't make a threat through text messages . kate : okay -- sonny : do you understand ? kate : i 'm sure the police could -- sonny : kate , please . ric is the d.a . his father is anthony zacchara 's lawyer , which -- it 's too close to home . the cops are useless to me right now . kate : sonny , you ca n't ignore this . sonny : i am going to handle this . you 've got so much on your plate . i 'm not going to abandon you , you know ? i 'm going to -- i 'm going to help you get back everything that you lost because of trevor . kate : okay , all i 'm doing right now is stressing over what they 're actually going to charge me with and how stupid i was to drive recklessly twice , when the third time , when i was actually set up , no one believes me . sonny : i believe you . so what do you mean ? kate : sonny ? sonny : what ? kate : thank you . but my point is instead of obsessing over my problem , i would much rather think about your text message . just -- will you do it for me ? i need the distraction .

[ scene_break ] lucky : living anywhere near jason is way too dangerous , especially now . lulu : this place is crawling with security . i would be as safe here as if i was living in a police station . spinelli : safer , actually , because the jackal has updated the electronic surveillance system . besides , your fair sister here would be under the personal protection of stone cold , not to mention that the jackal would gladly lay down his life to keep her safe . lucky : you know what ? that 's the stupidest thing i 've ever heard . why the hell would you live here when you have the opportunity to live with your own family ? lulu : i 'm sorry , lucky . i love you more than words can express , but you and elizabeth have your fair share of hurt and anger . and while jake and cameron might not have the option of distance , i do . i mean , you ca n't ask me to live there while your marriage is falling apart .

[ scene_break ] michael : look , dad , i get that you and brenda did n't have an easy relationship , but , i mean , that was a long time ago . you guys are -- you 're completely different now . sonny : well , not so different . i run the business the same way . your mother was able to adapt . brenda could n't . it was always a constant struggle trying to find the balance between what she found acceptable in her love for me . she wore a wire on me once . michael : you 're kidding me . sonny : i wish i was . um , she thought that if she could get me to say something incriminating on tape , that somehow that would force me out of the life . michael : dad , that 's crazy . sonny : no . it 's naive . it 's a -- brenda , that 's the way she was . she would just convince herself or something . anyway , you know what ? i let go of brenda years ago for her own good . we 'll leave that at that , okay ? i just hope that you never wind up in my position to find love , to know it , and not be able to keep it because you followed in your dad 's footsteps . [ scene_break ] henchman : do n't make this harder than it has to be . just tell us . brenda : you ca n't hurt me . henchman : damn it , just talk .

[ scene_break ] claire : well , it 's really pointless to keep it a secret . this place is nothing if but incestuous . you ca n't make a move without somebody on the other side of town knowing about it . so consider yourself one of the first people to know i 've become personally involved with sonny . carly : really ? shocker . claire : so therein lies the conflict . i had to notify my bosses . carly : good for you . claire : oh , is that all ? carly : truthfully , i thought sonny would be getting back together with the woman from his past , but that 's not happening , so you guys knock yourselves out . claire : truthfully , i expected you to go off . carly : well , you 're wrong . i could care less who sonny sleeps with . and if you wan na trash your career , go ahead . it 's your business . but i will wish you luck , because you 're gon na need it . jax : hi . i understand that you were looking for me . claire : well , carly will tell you all about it . hey , thanks for not throwing judgment , huh . [ carly laughs ] jax : what was that about ? carly : why are you all up in claire 's business ? what do you care what happens between her and sonny ? [ scene_break ] jason : how are you feelin ' right now ? brenda : cold . i 'm so cold . suzanne : drugs ? jason : injection . do n't know what yet . who are you callin ' ? suzanne : private doctor . jason : no , no , no . suzanne : it 'll be faster . jason : i think we should take brenda to the hospital . suzanne : no . it 'll be faster , and we have to protect her privacy . it 's suzanne . i have a situation , an overdose . not intentional . we 're checking .

[ scene_break ] patrick : mac , you know just as well as i do robin would n't leave emma in a wrecked car . mac : unless she was dazed by a blow to the head and thought she 'd go get help . patrick : she would n't leave emma . i 'm telling you , something else is wrong . mac : which brings us back to lisa , who would n't have targeted robin if you had n't trashed your marriage to sleep with her . patrick : look , mac , i get it . this is all my fault . i was selfish , and i was stupid , and i regret everything that happened . i 'm not trying to deny it or justify it , and if robin never forgives me and she wants a divorce , then i 'm gon na have to live with that . but what else do i need to say to get you to focus on what 's happening right now ? mac : i 'm not going to jump to conclusions based on your need to make lisa niles wrong , all right ? if robin is wandering around dazed from a blow to the head , we need to find her . patrick : damn it , mac , robin is not wandering -- robin is not wandering around . lisa has her , and if we do n't find her now , there 's no telling what she 'll do . [ scene_break ] lisa : robin , can you hear me ? robin , how did you get here ? robin : where am i ? what -- lisa : okay , easy , easy . just give yourself a second . robin : what are you doing here ? get away from me . lisa : okay , take it easy . i 'm not trying to hurt you . robin : where did -- oh , god . where 's emma ? what have you done with my daughter ? robin : where is emma ? lisa : i have no idea . i just walked in -- robin : you bitch . what have you done with her ? lisa : okay , nothing . i have n't seen emma since that night that i took her for ice cream . robin : you took her somewhere . uhh . what did you do with her ? lisa : okay , look , you 're obviously having some kind of episode . robin : screw you ! lisa : okay , i am just trying to help . robin : no , you 're not . you slept with my husband , and you threatened my daughter , and now you 've taken me god knows where . oh , god . please tell me she 's okay . what did you do with emma ? lisa : i imagine emma is wherever you left her . okay ? i have no idea where that is , 'cause i do n't know what you were doing or ... robin : shut up . lisa : how you even got here . robin : you did something . lisa : do you know how you got here ? robin : you took her . you did -- you did something . lisa : okay , one of my patients let me use his cabin . i wanted to get away for a couple days , so i took him up on it . actually , you know him , donald mulvaney . robin : yeah , i know him . so what ? lisa : i came up here for a couple days . when i got here , i found the door wide open . i walked in , and you were lying on the couch unconscious . do you have any idea how you got here ? [ scene_break ] jax : i 'm invested in claire walsh . remember , i 'm the one who called in favors to have her brought in to prosecute sonny . carly : yeah , i remember . jax : and when sonny was acquitted , i 'm the one who helped her stay in town because i thought that she had the best chance of building a case against him . carly : `` had `` being the operative word . it 's all in the past , jax . jax : exactly . sonny romanced her away from her principles , so she had to file a conflict of interest , leaving her powerless against him . carly : could n't happen to a more deserving person . i 'm sorry . i have no use for claire , so if she wants to trash her career and be with sonny , little bit of justice after what happened to michael . jax : right , and sonny gets to walk away without a scratch again . unless i can persuade claire 's superiors to get her back in line . [ scene_break ] lucky : two of the balkan 's men got to me . they said he was n't happy about ronan changing the meeting place . they blindfolded me , took me to a location , and i got away . lulu : it 's a miracle you 're not dead . dante : balkan does n't want him dead . lulu : how do you know ? lucky : 'cause i 'm still breathing . means the balkan still has a use for o'reilly . dante : well , at least until you embarrassed him by overpowering his guys and getting away . lucky : nah , it just proves how capable ronan is . lulu : or the balkan knows that something 's off , that there 's a reason you changed the original meeting place , like you did n't know where it was . lucky : i do n't think so . dante : look , objectivity is the first thing that goes , and you do n't even see it comin ' . you feel the rush of your own power . you wan na ride that adrenaline , thinking you can outthink , outtalk , outbluff your way from anything . lucky : this is n't my first rodeo , dante . dante : do n't make the same mistakes i made and wind up staring down the wrong end of a gun . if the balkan aims at you , he is not gon na miss . [ scene_break ] jason : how 's she doin ' ? suzanne : doctor gave her something to counteract the drugs . i think it 's working . jason : she 's gon na be okay once it wears off , right ? suzanne : yeah . he said if you had n't come back , if she 'd been left unattended , she would have died within the hour . jason : no , you 're the one who called me . you 're the one who saved brenda 's life . suzanne : this time . jason : well , this time is all we 're dealin ' with . and brenda is safe for tonight . suzanne : did interpol have any idea who those two guys were ? jason : yeah . i actually talked to that agent bates , and he confirmed the 2 dead guys do work for the balkan . suzanne : why am i not surprised ? jason : so what we need to do is we need to get brenda to tell us why he 's after her . suzanne : we know why he 's after her , because of the work she 's doing for asec . jason : no , that 's not it . if the balkan wanted brenda to be shut up , he would have killed her already . he needs her alive for a reason . for me to keep her safe , i need to know why . [ scene_break ] dante : look , sometimes you can get so deep into your cover , you do n't know how close it is to be bein ' blown . and if you can tell , you pretend you can bluff your way through anything . that 's when you know it 's time to cut your losses and get the hell out . lucky : i told you i 'm fine . dante : look , i thought i was fine . on top of everything , i had sonny 's confidence , and then look what happened to me , okay ? you do n't even have that . and we 're talkin ' about a guy who is from the old communist system . lucky : you think i do n't understand the risks ? look , i am the only guy who can pull this assignment off . dante : well , then interpol needs to rethink their strategy , 'cause are you willing to die for these guys ? you can chime in here anytime . lulu : no , it 's not gon na help . i know lucky . he 's gon na do this no matter what . [ scene_break ] sonny : uh ... carly : claire 's runnin ' a little late . sonny : how 'd you -- never mind . i do n't mind waitin ' . you seem calm for once . carly : why should n't i be ? sonny : because you were upset at the house . did you hear from jason ? carly : why do n't you ask me what you really want to know ? sonny : what do i really want to know ? carly : what did jason say about brenda ? sonny : did he say anything ? carly : [ laughs ] sorry to disappoint you . jason did n't call . he must be on brenda patrol . but i know why you did n't run off to rome to take the next shift . sonny : hmm ? carly : you got your hands full with claire . [ scene_break ] robin : i was at the house . matt came by . maxie was -- she was supposed to watch emma . lisa : uh - huh . then i 'm assuming that emma 's with maxie . robin : no . no , you took her . you did something . she 's patrick 's daughter , too . i mean , even in your sick , twisted mind , how can you justify hurting a little girl ? lisa : okay , there is no cell reception , and donald mulvaney said that the land line has been turned off , so we have 2 choices . i can either leave you here and drive somewhere where my cell phone works and call for help -- robin : yeah , just leave me , you evil bitch . lisa : could you stop calling me names ? robin : [ scoffs ] oh , i 'm so sorry . that was rude of me . i just do n't know what to call the crazy person that dragged me into the middle of nowhere for what purpose again ? why would you do something like this ? lisa : okay , i did n't do anything . all right ? you got yourself here , robin . and if you honestly do n't remember , then you are even more unstable than i thought . [ scene_break ] patrick : i need to talk to you . steve : just give me a second . i 'm on the -- i ca n't believe you just did that . i was on the phone with a board member . patrick : robin 's missing . steve : missing ? patrick : i went by mac 's house to check on her . emma 's stuff was all over the place . robin and emma were both gone . steve : what ? patrick : the police found her car in a ditch , and emma was still sitting in the back seat . steve : okay . maybe she was in shock after the accident . patrick : no , mac already tried that . he 's convinced that she 's walkin ' around with a bump on her head . steve : well , that 's the most logical explanation . patrick : it 's lisa . steve : lisa ? patrick : lisa did something to robin . i 'm convinced of it . in my gut , i know it , but that 's not enough for the cops . they have n't found robin , and lisa 's not even a person of interest . now , i need to change that . you need to help me . i 'm convinced if i retrace lisa 's steps around the hospital , it 's gon na lead right to robin , so i need to talk to anybody that she 's worked with within the last day . what ? steve : there was an unfortunate accident . steve : a maintenance worker found her . lana buchnau . down on the ninth - floor landing . a broken neck , apparently from a trip and fall . patrick : lana worked with lisa regularly . she was her orthopedic nurse . she winds up dead the day robin goes missing ? i 'm telling you , that 's not an accident . [ scene_break ] lisa : okay , i understand that you would like to see me as some sort of , you know , sinister threat , all right , but i just happen to be the person with the bad luck of finding you here . robin : good . then why do n't you leave ? lisa : trust me , i would love to , but there is no way in hell i am going to risk you wandering off in the woods when the nearest road is miles from here , so we are gon na wait until you are strong enough to move , and i 'm gon na help you get into the car , and we 're gon na leave together , okay , get to the hospital and get you on some serious medication . robin : [ scoffs ] i 'm not the crazy person . you are . lisa : i 'm not crazy . i 'm just unwise , stupidly romantic , whatever you call someone who 's still in love with a guy that she dated in college , you know , holding him apart from every guy who came after and just making them all seem less . i mean , i dated some really great guys , and they were hot and sexy and funny , and they 're surgeons and brokers , even a race - car driver , but none of them compared to patrick . there was just something about him , about us , you know , how we were together . and it was n't just the sex , even though the sex was glorious , incendiary , just like up against the wall in a classroom where someone could walk in at any second . [ sighs ] not that you would know what that 's like . you do n't strike me as someone who 's terribly spontaneous . robin : well , i 'm not gon na share sexual experiences with you . lisa : see , this is what i do n't get . you 're just so snippy . you 're so cold . you 're just so screamingly entitled that you expect patrick to just , what , bow down in gratitude because you 've gifted him with your fabulous self ? you 're boring , robin . i mean , talking to someone who thinks that they 're right about everything is just like an exercise in futility . i mean , that 's patrick 's life , you making proclamations about everything from global warming to the best baby diapers . i mean , it 's no wander patrick just wanted to come to jake 's and drink some beers and play darts and talk about the good old days . my mistake is thinking it was something more . i mean , that 's the irony is that i was carrying a torch for patrick , and i somehow convinced myself that he was carrying a torch for me when all he really wanted was a break from you . [ scene_break ] lulu : lucky 's not gon na walk away from this . he ca n't . lucky : thank you . lulu : but you 're not gon na face the balkan alone . you need backup . lucky : [ sighs ] i knew there was a catch to that sudden burst of sisterly support . dante : look , it 's gon na take a hell of a lot more than a close resemblance and an irish accent to convince the balkan that you are the real ronan o'reilly . lucky : got this under control . dante : if by `` under control , `` you mean making yourself a target , then , yeah , you have . lucky : every day we 're on the job , we 're a target . i mean , that 's what we do . that does n't mean lulu needs to become one . look , you need to go home , okay , before you 're in too deep . [ scene_break ] sonny : is that your roundabout way of asking for an update on my personal life ? carly : oh , i do n't have to . claire was a wealth of information . she went to her bosses , and she told them that she was sleeping with you and you conflicted her interests . sonny : why would claire tell you out of all ... carly : i have no idea . maybe she 's staking her claim . maybe she 's afraid the ex - wife wants to compete for your affection . i do n't , by the way . sonny : i 'm devastated . carly : oh , yeah . i bet you are . jax , on the other hand , well , he did n't like it much . he loved how determined she was to put you in prison , and he 's very upset that you lured yet another woman over to the dark side . sonny : does it bother you a little bit that he 's so concerned about me ? like it 's like an obsession ... carly : do n't act like the feeling 's not mutual . you guys started fighting over brenda years ago , and you have n't stopped . [ scene_break ] jason : there you go . brenda : it 's so cold . jason : it 's gon na pass . what do you remember ? brenda : i remember those were the same guys , and they came in . they shot me up with something . then you came in . jason : those 2 guys wo n't be bothering you anymore . and a doctor gave you something to counteract the heroin . brenda : is that why i 'm so cold ? jason : yeah . it 's a side effect of the antidote . brenda : you killed those guys . are you gon na get in trouble ? jason : no . interpol agent , this bates , he said that they had records , and he actually has pictures of them trying to grab you backstage . brenda : right . oh , my god . jason : what ? brenda : it 's gon na be in the papers , right ? everyone 's gon na know about it . jason : no . suzanne 's gon na keep it quiet . she really does a good job lookin ' out for you . brenda : so do you .

my whole life just went up in flames . ava : it did n't . i know things seem bad right now . it does n't mean you ca n't turn them around . morgan : no . kiki found out that i held the truth from her . she knows that ... i knew that she and michael were n't related . ava : and that means she does n't love you anymore ? just because kiki found out what you did , that does not mean your marriage is over . morgan : she told me that she does n't want me anymore . she told me that . hell , she probably -- she probably never wanted me . ava : that is not true , and you know it . morgan : yeah , okay . yeah , maybe she wanted me once , before my brother was in the picture , but now all she wants is michael . michael : my dad knew the truth all along . he knew that you and i were n't related . he knew that morgan was lying to the both of us . i mean , he compromised so much , even his relationship with connie , to keep morgan 's secret . kiki : i know . you saw how guilty morgan made your dad feel about loving you more . it may be wrong , but i think it was sonny 's way of showing morgan how much he loves him . michael : so why blow it all to hell in the middle of the wedding reception ? what made him decide to tell the truth tonight ? sonny : drop it , carly . you do n't know what you 're talking about . carly : you lashed out . you lashed out against your own family -- against your own son . you told anyone within earshot that morgan had lied to his wife , and you did n't care . sonny : what are you complaining about ? carly : you destroyed our son 's marriage in a room full of people ! sonny : i made him own up to what he did . is n't that what we want for our kids -- for them to tell the truth ? he forced kiki to marry him 'cause he was lying to her ! now the marriage is over ! do n't stand there and pretend that 's not what you wanted . carly : i do n't want my son hurt and humiliated in a room full of people ! but that 's exactly what happened , and that 's exactly what you did ! sonny : you hated that morgan married kiki and you could n't do anything about it , so unless the next words out of your mouth are , `` thank you , sonny , for what you did , `` you get the hell out of my face ! sam : when you were finding this food , did you think that we would be eating it on the floor outside of my son 's hospital room ?

lulu : [ laughs ] um ... no . i just expected you to spend your saturday nights raising hell , not playing board games with some little rugrats . dante : well ... it did n't last too long . i was n't very strict on the bedtimes . parents would come home and find me fast asleep on the couch and the kid was running around the house . but that 's not gon na happen with you . no , you 're gon na go to bed at the same time every night , not a minute later . and you 're gon na eat all your vegetables . and you 'll get one hour of tv , after you do your homework . and dating ... you know , we do n't need to talk about dating 'cause you 're not gon na do any . and to be honest with you , connie , the reason is , is because there is n't one guy out there that 's gon na be good enough for you , okay ? okay ? we got a deal ? yeah ? lulu : please . she is gon na have you wrapped around her little finger . dante : i know , right ? she 's so cute . what are you doing ? lulu : [ giggles ] maxie : i knew i should n't have given ellie too much credit . spinelli : she told me you had opened up a dialogue , as it were . maxie : yeah . we had it out about everything that happened . spinelli : did you find any common ground ? maxie : there 's still a few points of contention . spinelli : over what ? maxie : you . i say you hate me . ellie says you do n't . clearly , she 's never been more wrong . ava : morgan , no matter what happened , kiki does love you . morgan : not enough . okay ? not as much as she loves michael . ava : you do n't know that . morgan : oh , come on . come on . our whole marriage is just a sham . forget all the vows . it 's all just lies . ava : well , the lies were spread around . morgan : yeah , okay ! i lied , too , all right ? but was that worth ending our marriage , my one lie ? i mean , it 's not like i created this situation by myself . you know , why am i the bad guy ? what about michael and his lies ? ava : morgan , you 're go -- morgan : and he only cares about being brothers when we thought that dad was going off the deep end because of connie . my whole family 's nothing but a bunch of hypocrites , especially my father . sonny : i 'm waiting . carly : for what ? sonny : maybe a little bit of gratitude . did you or did you not beg me to do something about kiki and morgan ? carly : sonny , that was weeks ago . we 're talking about tonight . do you remember tonight ? do you remember standing up there to give a toast for morgan , to tell him you were happy ? and then that turned into an apology for michael , and then somehow that went to telling everyone that kiki and morgan got married under false pretenses . how the hell did that happen ? ! it does n't make any sense , and you were all over the place ! sonny : i do n't want to hear about it ! you asked me to do something ! i did it ! so what 's the problem ? carly : the problem is n't what you did . it 's how you did it . and we both know why you really did it . michael : i know my dad 's in pain over connie . my dad has dealt with a lot of loss before -- i mean , more than most people -- but to do something so public ... kiki : maybe he just did n't want to be morgan 's secret - keeper anymore . michael : and morgan -- i still ca n't believe he was lying . kiki : really ? because you were the one that came to me and said that you thought that morgan knew we were cousins before the wedding . right ? you said that that 's why he rushed me to the courthouse , because he thought that something might happen between us . michael : but that was before connie died . and my dad -- after everything morgan and i went through with him on the haunted star , i thought we finally found our way back to being brothers . i had no idea he was lying , that he was still lying , and he was lying this whole time . kiki : i lied , too . every day of my marriage to morgan , i lied to him . i told him that i loved him . but the truth is ... i love you more . silas : no peeking . are you peeking ? sam : no , i 'm not peeking . silas : all right . sam : i 'm gon na peek . silas : go ahead and peek . sam : aah ! oh , it 's beautiful . i did n't know you were so good at impromptu picnics . silas : what , this ? sam : yes . silas : no , this is nothing . you should see my blanket forts . sam : really ? silas : mm . sam : wow . i did n't know you were a man of so many talents . silas : my little brother loved them . sam : i ca n't imagine you as a kid . silas : neither can i. i grew up too fast . sam : were n't your parents around ? silas : yeah . that was the problem . sam : and what about your brother ? silas : not so much . you know , i tried to protect him when i was younger , but when i got a chance to go away to school ... i could n't wait to get out of there . sam : oh , so you left him behind . silas : and the rest is history . sam : it 's sweet that you feel like you failed your brother . you did n't . silas : sure i did . sam : you know , my -- my brother had special needs . silas : yeah , i remember you told me . sam : he was in hawaii and was really happy , and i brought him over for a visit . and he died . and ... i think if i would 've left him there that ... [ sighs ] silas : hey , sam . sam : yeah ? silas : it sounds to me like you did everything you could for your brother . sam : you know what ? it sounds to me like you did everything you could for your brother . dante : i think we got a star on our hands . lulu : [ chuckles ] not a bad - looking baby , either . dante : that 's our kid . seriously , i ca n't believe we were n't saying that three days ago . it was just you and me . and now this beautiful little other person arrived . lulu : a year ago , we thought we 'd never have children of our own . now we have a daughter . dante : how did something that beautiful come from you and me ? lulu : i have no idea . mwah ! all i know is that i am blessed with this miraculous daughter and this amazing husband . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : honestly , how could i get luckier ? dante : actually , uh ... i could think of a few ways . lulu : oh ? dante : mm - hmm . yeah . spinelli : maxie , you were pregnant with my child and chose not to tell me . you allowed me to believe that it was dante and lulu 's baby , and had ellie not discovered the truth and finally confessed it to me , you were prepared to let the lie stand for the rest of our lives . maxie : i did what i thought was best . spinelli : best for who ? ! maxie : why does that matter anyway , okay ? ! you know the truth now ! spinelli : yeah , making me complicit in your deceit ! so unless i wreck a handful of lives , i have to stand by and watch dante and lulu raise my daughter , and all you can do is stand there and hope i get over it ? ! maxie : i did n't say that ! spinelli , i know how badly i messed up ! spinelli : i keep -- i keep thinking that -- i keep hoping that time will heal all , that ... slowly ... but surely , things will just get easier . and then i think of another moment in my daughter 's life that i 'm not gon na get to see , and -- and ... the pain is constant and unceasing , and i ... i do n't believe it will ever go away . maxie : i 'm hurting , too . and i hate myself for that . i hate that we do n't have our daughter . i hate that i hurt the one person besides this little girl that i care most about in this world . you . michael : you love me ? kiki : did -- did that sound weird ? because it kind of felt ... weird , me saying it . i 've convinced myself that i would n't be able to . michael : no , i ... i know exactly what you mean . i , um ... there were so many things i wanted to say , but i -- i convinced myself that i could n't . i probably forgot some things i would say , but one thing i could never forget ... i love you , too . kiki : did i just imagine that , or did that really happen ? michael : i ... michael ... love you , kiki . for real . and now -- now there 's nothing standing in our way . we 're free to be together . kiki : you 're wrong . michael : what do you mean ? kiki : we 're not free . and i do n't see how we can be together . ava : you 're angry , with good cause , but you need to give sonny a chance to explain -- morgan : he already told me . he already explained . `` it 's for the best , morgan . kiki does n't love you the way that she should , `` which translation is , `` michael wants her , so michael deserves her . `` michael 's first and he 's best and he matters , and i do n't rate . ava : no . i 'm sure sonny loves all of his children in his own way . morgan : you know what ? if anyone tells you that blood 's thicker than water , they 're lying , because michael is n't even my dad 's biological son and he 's always been the favorite . and it 's not just 'cause he 's named after him . it 's everything . michael 's so strong . michael 's been through so much . michael deserves happiness . what about me ? ! what do i deserve ? ! ava : listen to me . you 're gon na work it out . i know you will , because no matter what , sonny is your father . morgan : no , he is n't . [ sighs deeply ] i hate him . he 's dead to me . sonny : i told you why i did it . i wanted to make it right for both of our sons . carly : okay , yeah . but you did n't tell me why you picked tonight to do it , why you made that choice at our son 's wedding reception . see , i do n't think it was a choice . i do n't think you knew what you were gon na say before you said it . sonny : what do you want , an apology ? sorry that i did n't run it by you first . sorry that i did n't , you know , get your stamp of approval when i wanted to be a father to our sons . sorry that i did n't , you know , do it as perfect as you wanted and make it right . carly : look at me . you 're gon na tell me that if you had to do it all over again , you would ? you 'd do it again ? you would toast your son with one hand and backhand him with the other ? sonny : that 's not what happ -- carly : that 's exactly what happened , and we both know why it happened . because you took yourself off your damn lithium . spinelli : we both know that i 'm not the person you care most about . maxie : no . who else is there ? spinelli : maxie , i 'm not gon na and here and try to list all -- maxie : my father . he has made a career out of leaving me . my mom ? yeah , i love her , and we 're -- we 're starting to work through everything , but ... she left me , too . that 's always gon na be between us . spinelli : what about mac ? maxie : mac -- he raised me . he 's my real father , and i love him , but ... he does n't know what to do with me . georgie 's gone . robin 's gone . that leaves you , spinelli . spinelli : what about lulu ? [ connie cries ] lulu : how could she still be hungry ? she had two bottles . dante : do n't look at me . i 'm not that hungry . lulu : i got to look at the -- dante : no , give her a minute . give her a minute just to see if she can work it out . [ crying stops ] dante : huh ? lulu : hm - hmm . dante : see what i said ? that was really good . mm . [ connie cries ] lulu : mnh - mnh , mnh - mnh . dante : or not . lulu : it 's okay . sam : you know , i hardly know anything about your life before you moved here . why is that ? silas : i do n't know . do you like telling people your life story ? sam : well , i mean , i 'm not particularly chatty , but if somebody asks me a question , i 'll certainly answer it . silas : well , i guess that 's the difference between you and me . i prefer people not to ask . sam : i mean , are you just shy ? or is ava right ? is there something in your past that would hurt me if i knew about it ? ava : you have every right to be angry with your father . he betrayed you . morgan : at my own wedding reception , no less . ava : the pain fades . injuries heal , and family stays together . morgan : so , what are you asking me ? to forgive him ? ava : your father loves you . do n't forget that . do n't forget all the good things you and sonny share while you 're licking your wounds . morgan : i 'm sorry . i ca n't think of any good things at the moment . ava : do n't write him off . morgan : it 's too late , okay ? i will never , ever forgive my father for this . my whole life -- my whole life he 's acted like he was there for me , but he could only make it stick for a couple days . he never once backed me , ever , and then he finally stepped up just to double - cross me , and it cost me my wife . ava : i know it 's painful , morgan . morgan : painful ? i love kiki , and she 's off somewhere with my brother right now doing who knows what . do you know how that feels ? ava : makes you feel worthless ... ignored ... and alone . how you feel about kiki ... it 's how i feel about kiki 's father . silas and i had something special once . and tonight , i thought we had it again . i ... felt it . and i was so sure he felt it , too . morgan : so , what ha -- what happened ? where is he ? ava : he 's with someone else . so , yeah ... i do know what it 's like to be refused by the one person you want . you are not alone . michael : why ca n't we be together ? kiki : because it 's not that simple . yes , my marriage was destroyed tonight , but your brother is still my husband . michael : okay . you know , kiki there 's ways to fix that , okay ? you can get an annulment or -- kiki : this is n't even about my relationship with him . it 's about you and morgan -- your relationship with your brother . yes , you might be able to get over tonight one day , but every time morgan sees us together , it 's gon na keep reopening that wound . michael : i 'm -- i 'm ... i am sorry morgan 's hurting . we did nothing to cause that situation . kiki : you hate fighting with morgan . i can see it in your face . he was unloading on you , and you did n't even fight back . that 's how i can tell how much you love him . michael : i love morgan . i love morgan . i do n't want to lose him . but i do n't want to lose you , either , kiki . i will not lose you . carly : i know you 're not taking your pills , so you can respect me enough not to deny it . sonny : fine . get out . there 's no reason for you to be here , carly . carly : i 'm gon na stay here , and i 'm gon na help you . sonny : i do n't need any help . carly : you say that every time , and every time you 're wrong . you need me here , sonny . you can not get better on your own . sonny : do n't tell me what i can or ca n't do . carly : we 've been through this before , okay ? you want me to leave ? do you want me to leave you in peace so you can shut the doors and you can hang up the dark drapes and you can just trash the house and break up all the furniture ? you want to be left alone so all the ghosts can come out and you can sit around , you can talk to people that are n't really there ? and then you just get closer and closer to darkness ? is that what you want ? sonny : that 's what i want . carly : without your medication , the darkness will swallow you whole . sonny : maybe that 's the point . i 'm just trying to get to a place where i like the darkness . carly : that 's your sickness talking , and that 's why you need your medication . sonny : do n't preach to me . you do n't know what it 's like . carly : i know exactly what it 's like because i 've been there with you -- when we did n't think we were gon na make it through , we did n't know there was a treatment , sonny ! sonny : screw the treatment , screw the pills . i do n't care about them . carly : sonny , i know you do n't want to take the pills . i know you do n't want to take the pills because you think they make you weak , but asking for help does n't make you weak . it means you 're trying to take control of your life , okay ? and without these pills , everything turns into chaos . sonny : [ stammers ] chaos is part of my life . it 's in my life every day . it 's not about the pills . carly : it 's about the pills ! damn it ! it 's about the pills , sonny ! look what happened the last time you did n't take the pills . you tried to kill jax . you shot off a gun in robin 's house . you were dangerous to everyone around you , even the people who love you -- even your kids ! i know you do n't want to be that person . do n't you want to be in control ? sonny : no . sam : i 'm sorry . i should not have put you on the spot like that , especially after all the trouble you went through tonight for this dinner . silas : it 's okay . after what ava said to you tonight , you deserve an explanation . sam : okay . silas : she can be ill - tempered . i know it sounds a little hypocritical coming from me . sam : i do n't know . maybe that 's why the two of you hit it off so well . silas : ava 's got this other side ... a side of her that i did n't see at first . she 's spiteful . and when she 's hurt , like she was tonight , she just lashes out blindly . sam : what , you 're saying she just said those things to get under my skin ? silas : pretty much . sam : that 's all ? that 's all it was ? silas : [ sighs ] [ danny crying ] sam : hoo . you are lucky . saved by the baby . silas : right . sam : that 's okay . [ door opens ] dante : we fed you , we burped you , we 've changed you , and i do n't know , i do n't know . what do we do here ? lulu : i do n't know . we 've sung , we 've read , we 've rocked . what else is there ? dante : a yankees game ? is it too early to take her to a yankees game ? is she too young ? lulu : you know , a part of me is almost starting to take this personally . dante : i know , right ? like , she almost seems like she 'd rather be somewhere else . maxie : you and lulu are ... my two best friends . and i had put myself in ... this horrible situation where i had to choose one of you over the other . no matter what i did , there was n't gon na be a right answer . one of you was gon na get hurt . spinelli : so you decided to hurt me . maxie : i had already broken my promise to her . i lost lulu 's baby , the one thing that she wanted most in this world . spinelli , when you found me that night , i was devastated . spinelli : i remember . maxie : i was so mad at myself that i had screwed up again , and all i could think about was the look on lulu 's face when i told her that she was n't gon na get the family that she wanted . and then there you were , telling me that i was n't worthless , making me feel better . and we were here ... together . and when i found out that i was pregnant , i thought i had been given this chance to make everything right . i knew that you wanted to work things out with ellie . i figured that you two would start a family of your own someday . choosing lulu seemed like the least bad of two terrible options . look , it was the biggest decision that i have ever had to make in my life , and , uh ... i 'm not sure that it was the right one . i 'll never know . i do know that there is no turning back now . and i 'm really sorry that i had to take you with me . i will be sorry about that for the rest of my life . sonny : i do n't want to go back on the medication . i threw the pills away 'cause i do n't want the control . carly : why ? sonny : the drugs , they make it too easy , carly . carly : what too easy ? sonny : to live without her . i want to feel the pain , 'cause i owe her that . carly : all right . do you think connie would want you to hurt like this ? do you think she 'd want you to hurt your sons the way you did at morgan 's wedding reception ? sonny : i - i - i threw ... i threw the -- the party in connie 's honor . i wanted to celebrate her life . carly : that was n't your idea . it was ava 's , right ? yeah . she used connie to get you to agree to it . sonny : ava -- she understands the feelings . she understands what it feels like to be fed up . carly : okay , maybe , but she does n't -- she does n't know you . i 've seen it , sonny . i 've seen your highs and lows and back again and all around . i 've seen you go crazy . i 've seen you scare your family and scare yourself , and i 've seen you pull yourself back because that 's not who you want to be . you do n't want to be that person for your kids . sonny : the kids are fine . they 're grown up , living their lives . carly : what about your granddaughter ? what about that little girl ? she needs you in control ! sonny : you mean you want the pills to control me . carly : sonny ... what about morgan and kristina ? i mean , they 're both pretty volatile . i 'm not saying that they are bipolar . i do n't know . maybe it 's moody teenagers . but let 's say , god forbid , they get sick . they need your example . they 'll need your example on how to handle it , on how to handle a big loss . they 're gon na need their dad . please take your pills . kiki : you 're not gon na lose me . michael : i 'm not . kiki : you sound very confident . michael : it 's a statement of fact . kiki : look , i appreciate the sentiment , but ... i do n't think you realize what you 're getting into . you are risking every single relationship that you have . and the only thing i can guarantee in return is a headache . michael : kiki , listen to me . there 's gon na be a lot of obstacles , there 's gon na be a lot of distractions , but i can deal with them . we can deal with them . if you 'll just try . just say you 'll give me a chance , okay ? and i promise you , i will -- kiki : yes . morgan : of course you get me . you 've always been on my side . ava : that 's because i 've always liked you . morgan : who else would give me a place to stay when the gambling guys were on my ass ? and who else would 've lent me money to get kiki 's engagement ring ? you 've always been supportive of our relationship and our marriage , and ... you know , my own mother , she did n't even do that . or any of my family , for that matter . none of them -- none of them stood by me when it mattered . and -- and i ca n't trust any of them . i have nobody . ava : neither do i . ava : what the hell are you doing ? morgan : i do n't know . and i do n't care . dante : okay . she , uh ... does n't want anything . she 's not happy with her mother , and she 's definitely not happy with her father . i -- i do n't know . lulu : i have an idea . dante : what is it ? i mean , there are no bad ideas at this point . lulu : maybe she would respond to both of us . ... the surf , no sand if we come back time will tell spinelli : found it . guess i 'll be off . i know we gave it our all spinelli : do you miss her ? our daughter ? maxie : every day . but i 'm working through that in therapy . spinelli : is it working ? maxie : does it matter ? spinelli : i know you ... i know you did the best you could . ellie 's not wrong . i hate what you did . but i do n't hate you . sam : mommy 's here . it 's gon na be okay . what 's that ? [ danny coos ] sam : you see that ? the lights . yeah . it 's pretty . carly : this is the right thing to do . anything else is a disservice to connie 's memory . sonny : i miss her so much . [ sniffles ] carly : i know . but ... do n't hurt yourself or your family in connie 's name . do n't do that . honor her . honor her . sonny : [ sighs deeply ] [ sniffles ] would you catch me if i fell ? would you catch me like your other plans ? [ both chuckle ] michael : so , it 's , uh ... so it 's decided ? kiki : it is . how are we going to do this ? michael : i have no idea . [ both laugh ] you know what the good news is ? we do n't have to figure it out tonight . tonight 's just for us . but ca n't you see you are here with me ? never look back

alexis : mr. hornsby . i 'm alexis davis . paul : ms. davis . it 's a pleasure . your reputation proceeds you . what can i do for you today ? alexis : we need to have a conversation about julian jerome . paul : in regards to what , exactly ? alexis : about what you 're doing to him . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] julian : who is it ? sam : it 's your daughter . julian : [ sighs ] hey . happy to see you . come on in . sam : hey . hi . how are you ? julian : good , good , good . sam : you okay ? you seem a little jumpy . julian : yeah . you know , it , uh , comes with the territory these days . sam : yeah , i heard that sonny 's people think that you shot him . i - i think you 're gon na need to arrange for protection in case they retaliate . julian : well , they already tried . if it was n't for michael quartermaine , i 'd be dead right now . [ scene_break ] [ elevator dings ] michael : hey . jason : hey . how 's your dad ? michael : uh , he is much better . in fact , once patrick 's done updating his chart , he 's gon na get a visit from my baby sister .

[ scene_break ] patrick : i removed the bullet fragments , so you can thank me for that . but from what i hear , you 're only alive because jake saved you . sonny : you think so ? patrick : you do n't remember him intervening when you got shot ? sonny : it was a blur . i was n't thinking clear . patrick : well , one of these days , sam 's gon na have to tell you the whole story . right now , i need to do a - a quick little assessment . sonny : whatever you need , doc . patrick : speaking of jake , carly told me that he came to visit you last night . sonny : why would he come to visit me ? patrick : you do n't remember mistaking jake for jason ? [ scene_break ] jason : how 's your brother doing ? when i saw you two last night , he looked pretty ragged . michael : yeah , no . um , you talked to my mom . jason : i did . she told me that morgan went after julian with a gun . you talked him out of it . you okay ? michael : yeah , no . i 'm fine . jason : yeah ? you sure ? michael : i 'm kind of used to these -- these things , and i find when there 's no crisis going on , i 'm either completely bored or i 'm waiting for the other shoe to drop . jason : well , does n't sound too healthy , man . michael : well , do n't knock it till you try it . jason : [ chuckles ] your brother 's lucky to have you . michael : yeah . um , i guess so . i mean , i was -- i managed to talk him down last night , but he 's still insisting that something has to be done about julian . jason : do you agree ? michael : it 's tough . you know , so many unanswered questions , but , yeah . one way or another , we need to find out if julian was behind this . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm telling you . morgan was completely out of his mind . i was looking in his eyes . he was ready to pull that trigger . sam : he probably just thought he was avenging his father . julian : [ sighs ] well , he certainly refused to believe i 'm innocent . i mean , if it was n't for michael , morgan would have blown me away . sam : okay , well , forget bodyguards . you need to leave town . julian : i 'm not going anywhere . sam : do you really think you 're safe here ? what if morgan comes back and michael 's not here to stop him ? julian : hey , michael made it clear to morgan that sonny does n't want me dead , so ... sam : uh , he did ? well , maybe he does n't want to implicate morgan in your murder , and he 's gon na send someone else to do it . julian : no , i really think that sonny wants to make sure i 'm actually involved in his shooting at the warehouse . sam : is there anything to connect you to it ? julian : there is . it 's coincidental , because i was n't involved . however , i 'm aware that only buys me so much time . sooner or later , sonny 's people are gon na believe i 'm guilty , and they 're gon na take me out . which is why i need to do their work for them . sam : wait a minute . what work ? julian : i need to find out who 's framing me . [ scene_break ] alexis : as the new district attorney , in your newfound capacity , you 're prosecuting my client . paul : and that would be julian jerome ? alexis : correct . two of sonny 's trucks were hijacked , and mr. jerome is awaiting trial on that matter . paul : [ clears throat ] yes , yes . yes , yes . it 's coming back to me now . it 's taken me a minute . if you can imagine , i have a full caseload on my docket . i 'm just getting myself up to speed . alexis : well , there 's no shortage of crime in port charles . now , regarding julian , he is currently out on bail , but taking this to trial , i believe , would be a waste of time . paul : i - i do n't mean to interrupt , ms. davis , but , um , may i ask you -- can i expect a regular visit to discuss all of your clients ? or is mr. jerome special ? alexis : full disclosure -- i am mr. jerome 's legal counsel . we are also in a personal relationship . paul : ah , yes . it 's all becoming clear to me . may i interest you in a cup of coffee ? alexis : uh , no . thank you . i 'm fine . paul : let me know if you change your mind . i can understand why you 'd be concerned about the case pending against mr. jerome . the charges levied against him are rather serious . alexis : yes , ah , and regarding those charges , i -- paul : not to mention that they connect him rather tidily to the other crime that he 's suspected of . does it bother you , ms. davis , that jerome is the main suspect in the shooting of sonny corinthos ? alexis : julian may be the main suspect in sonny 's shooting , but it does n't bother me , because he did n't do it . no , thank you . paul : i see . so , your client is innocent ? alexis : actually , this time , he is . and as the new district attorney , i would think it would be important to you to start your term with facts . paul : which are ? alexis : which are ... julian had nothing to do with hijacking sonny 's trucks . he did not try to kill him , nor did he hire anyone to kill sonny . paul : hmm . should n't we let a jury decide that ? alexis : why take the time and the taxpayers ' money ? paul : [ chuckles ] tradition ? alexis : if you would take the time to read julian jerome 's file , you will see that the witness that accused julian of everything is lying . paul : ah . i see . well , uh , perhaps i can have a little confab with this witness myself . alexis : oh , i 'm sorry . you ca n't . he 's dead . paul : ah . alexis : he died in the shootout at the warehouse . paul : convenient for your client . alexis : perhaps . in any case , you wo n't be able to examine this witness and determine his credibility , so it would seem in your best interest to disregard the testimony altogether . paul : oh . i 'm sure you think that . alexis : and then i would urge you to drop the charges against julian jerome . paul : i 'm sure you would . alexis : because , as i said , it 's such a waste of time and resources to build a case against julian for the crimes against sonny when , clearly , somebody else is guilty . paul : hmm . [ scene_break ] julian : so , i 've been sending out some feelers to some of my old associates , trying to get a lead on somebody who might be framing me . so far , nobody 's talking . sam : well , that ca n't be too much of a surprise now that they 're all probably working for whoever set you up . julian : and it does n't help that the people who 've been pointing the finger at me are all dead . so , i 've hit a wall . i do n't know where else to go . sam : i could find out for you . [ scene_break ] jason : what are the cops saying about sonny 's shooting ? michael : [ sighs ] dante 's investigating , but they still have n't been able to turn up any -- any leads on who did it . jason : that 's frustrating . michael : yeah , but we 're making inquiries of our own . jason : we ? michael : yeah . i ... never thought i 'd be so involved in my father 's business , and i wo n't be , long term , i just -- this is an emergency situation . i mean , my dad is incapacitated right now , and morgan 's on a warpath , which is justified , but it 's counterproductive . we just -- we ca n't overreact and trigger further conflict , so i 'm -- i 'm working with my father 's people to kind of put a lid on things . jason : you 're in a tough position , my friend . michael : yeah . this was never supposed to be my job . [ sighs ] whenever there was difficulties before , we also trusted jason to handle them . [ scene_break ] sonny : i remember seeing jason . but i thought it was a dream . patrick : apparently , it was very real . jake came to visit you , and you thought he was jason . it 's perfectly fine , sonny . it 's -- it 's understandable . we gave you morphine for the pain . one of the aspects of that drug is that you can be perfectly lucid one moment and then irrational the next . sonny : so , basically , i was stoned out of my mind . patrick : [ sighs ] pretty much . sonny : no . there was more to it . [ scene_break ] carly : well , you know what ? you wasted a trip , because i 'm not letting you take sonny 's daughter home today or any other day . ava : and what makes you think you have the right to keep her from me ? carly : sonny asked me to be her mother . and is a right and a privilege to protect her from anyone that will do her harm . ava : you 're not her mother . you bitch . carly : i am . you 're a sociopath who only wants to use this sweet little girl for her own gain . she 's not a person to you . she 's a commodity . ava : you do n't know a damn thing about what i feel for my daughter . carly : i know that given the chance , you 'd lie to her and use her just like you lied and used kiki . i 'm not gon na let you ruin her life like you ruined morgan 's . ava : morgan . did i ruin your life ? morgan : well , you did n't exactly make it better . ava : i suppose that 's true . and i am sorry about that . but even though morgan 's life is apparently ruined , i 'm still entitled to my daughter . carly : oh , okay , and i 'm sure when she gets older , you 're gon na feel entitled to have sex with her boyfriend , just like you slept with kiki 's . ava : morgan is an adult . morgan was an adult when we met . carly : barely . and you obviously do n't give a damn about kiki . ava : i know where my failings come from , and i think we all know where morgan 's originate . carly : yeah . from you . ava : well , i did n't raise him . i did n't teach him that hopping from bed to bed is all right . morgan : what the hell are you talking about ? all right ? sleeping with you -- that 's my fault . that 's not my parents ' fault . ava : your parents ca n't protect my daughter . avery 's been living with sonny for , what , a few months , and during that time , he 's been the target of violent attacks . i do n't want my daughter in that kind of danger . carly : the only danger to avery is you . ava : keeping me from my daughter ends now . sonny is flat on his back in a hospital bed . he can scarcely raise a child . carly : i can . ava : [ chuckles ] but who -- who are you in all of this , exactly ? you 're not sonny 's wife , and you most certainly are not avery 's mother . carly : this is really getting old . milo . milo : yes . carly : mrs. jerome is upsetting the baby . can you please escort her out of the hospital ? milo : right away , mrs. c . ava : do n't touch me . you ca n't do this . you have no legal right . carly : neither do you . when you died or went on the run or whatever happened , the courts gave sonny legal right to this little girl . [ avery crying ] carly : you have no legal right to her . ava : oh . but you 're wrong . [ avery crying ] [ scene_break ] paul : so , you contend that someone other than julian jerome is responsible for these crimes . alexis : exactly . paul : i do n't know . the witness left a - a complete statement connecting mr. jerome to a slew of other crimes against the corinthos organization . alexis : within one day of his release , he kidnapped a young boy and used him as bait to lure sonny into an ambush . even if he were alive , i mean , i would n't want to put that guy on the stand . paul : hmm . well , problematic witness or not , these hijackings did take place and sonny did get shot . and he and your client are known enemies . alexis : all of that is circumstantial . paul : hmm . alexis : however , i will stipulate that julian jerome has had dealings in organized crime . and whoever it was that went after sonny knew that julian would be the number - one suspect . paul : well , that 's quite a plan . alexis : it was a good plan , and it 's working . because that person is making julian look very guilty . paul : unless , of course , he 's just plain guilty . alexis : oh , now , i thought we were getting along so well . paul : ms. davis , as a responsible public servant , i am obligated to explore all avenues . i ca n't just take one lawyer 's word that her client is innocent , no matter how compelling and articulate that lawyer may be . alexis : so , i have n't swayed you at all ? paul : i need more information . you appear convinced that we have , in our midst , some criminal mastermind . any idea who that may be ? [ scene_break ] julian : look , i appreciate the gesture , but i ca n't let you get involved with these people . sam : i 'm a pi . this is what i do . i track down leads . julian : i know , and you 're the best . but these are really dangerous people we 're talking about . sam : are you kidding me ? i 'm insulted right now . julian : can i help it if i want to protect my own daughter ? sam : from what ? the mob ? oh , goodness . i would n't know what to do . i 'm jason morgan 's widow , remember ? julian : yeah . i know . and i suppose that all those years with jason gave you some know - how with these people . sam : yes , it has . and i know that it commands respect . not everybody liked jason , but they respected him . julian : i suppose that 's true , but jason was sonny 's right - hand man . i 'm the man accused of shooting sonny , so i do n't know how much cooperation you 're gon na get from these guys if you were to investigate , which you 're not . sam : you have to let me do this . i am the best weapon you have . julian : [ sighs ] i really do appreciate it , but it 's not gon na happen . look , i have every intention of -- of -- of living to a ripe old age . sam : okay , well , do you want to live that ripe old age in pentonville or port charles ? because those are your only options . julian : i want to grow old with your mother and my children right here in port charles . and as much as i want to find out who 's doing this to me , it 's much more important to me to make sure that you are healthy and you 're happy . sam : happy . julian : you are happy , are n't you ? sam : yes . julian : right ? sam : yes , yes . i - i 'm happy . yes . in fact , emma and i threw patrick a surprise birthday party last night . even though he was tired from the or , he seemed to enjoy it . julian : well , that 's good , is n't it ? sam : yeah . it 's great . julian : but ... ? sam : patrick proposed . julian : is n't that fantastic ? sam : yes . i was honored , you know ? and -- and happy . and i - i wanted to accept it . julian : but you did n't ? sam : it was less of a `` no `` than an `` ask me later . `` i mean , the -- the timing was just off . today , um , is my wedding anniversary with jason . [ scene_break ] michael : when jason died , he left a huge hole in the organization . but it was nothing compared to what it did to our family , especially my dad . he -- he and jason -- they were like brothers . you know , he trusted him completely , and he never failed us . jason : well , clearly jason loved you guys very much . michael : yeah . yeah . he was amazing in a crisis . i mean , things could be going completely south , and he knew exactly what to do . jason : i can see why your dad relied on him so heavily . michael : my dad never had to worry about jason doing what he wanted because jason instinctively always knew . no , my dad counted on jason more than anyone . jason : well , that makes sense . when your father was laying in his hospital bed worrying about his sons , he wanted to talk to his friend jason , even if he was n't there . michael : wh - what do you -- what do you mean ? jason : oh , last night , before you and morgan got back , your father -- he -- he mistook me for jason . [ scene_break ] sonny : tell me what happened at the warehouse . patrick : i was n't there . everything i know , i heard from sam . sonny : you know more than me . i was lying on the floor , fighting to breathe . what i thought was happening did n't . so , you tell me , doctor ... how did i manage to live through this ? patrick : sam told me that ... they were at pier 54 when they heard gunshots . jake got sam to a safe place and went running after the gunshots , and sam waited a minute , she went to back him up . by the time she got there , it was over . sonny : so , she saw what happened ? patrick : you and tj were being held by three gunmen . jake disarmed one of them , shot two [ snaps fingers ] dead just like that . sonny : and that 's why ... patrick : why what ? sonny : well , i was pretty much out of it , like i said . it was all happening really fast . that 's the way jason used to work . he did n't wait , just kept moving forward . he would hit the opponent ... before they could react . i knew jake was good , but i did n't know that he was as good as jason . [ scene_break ] ava : no , no . milo : okay . ava : go away , you lout . milo : mrs. c ? carly : okay , i want to clear this up , and then you can escort ms. jerome to the parking lot . ava : i have a court order . carly : i see . what does it say ? ava : my attorney , scott baldwin . he went to court to reestablish my parental rights . he argued that as i am avery 's mother , and clearly very much alive , i have every right to parent my child . morgan : well , you already denied the fact that you are avery 's mother when you were playing denise , ava . ava : i did n't have a choice . please tell me you believe me , morgan . morgan : why do you care what i believe ? ava : 'cause you know me . you know me better than anybody . and you know the only reason that i changed my identity , the only reason that i lied to everybody , including you and kiki , was to be close to my daughters . carly : that 's why you lied to kiki ? are you sure you did n't lie to get her boyfriend into bed again ? morgan : 'cause that 's , uh , that 's pretty much what happened , ava . you lied , i fell for it , then we started sleeping together behind kiki 's back . ava : well , the truth is out now , is n't it ? sonny managed to keep me from avery before , but he ca n't any longer . the order states that until a custody arrangement can be agreed upon , you and sonny have no right to keep her from me . and seeing as how sonny is clearly incapacitated at present , and there is no other legal guardian around , avery should be with her mother . in other words , i 'd like to take my daughter home . now . carly : you 're not taking this little girl anywhere . [ scene_break ] alexis : mr. hornsby , if i knew who the person was that was setting julian up , i would point you and the police in that direction . paul : well , that certainly would make all of our jobs a little easier . alexis : well , i certainly hope that the local law enforcement will pursue all the avenues of this investigation . and i guarantee you if you open your mind to other suspects , you will find the person or persons that committed these crimes . and when you do , i hope you -- you prosecute them to the full extent of the law . paul : if you 're right , ms. davis , and we find said person , i would be only so happy to do so . alexis : well , that 's all i can ask of the new district attorney . paul : ms. davis , i hope you know that i have no intention of putting innocent people behind bars . alexis : well , i would hope not . paul : i did not accept this job to make a name for myself , and i have no intention of participating in a witch hunt . my goal is to keep the citizens that are law abiding in this city safe . and if your client , as you say , is truly innocent of these crimes , then he has nothing to fear from me . [ scene_break ] sam : four years ago today , jason and i were married . julian : i 'm sure you made a beautiful bride . sam : [ chuckles ] actually , i was wearing pretty much this same exact thing . we got married in a chinese restaurant . julian : a chinese restaurant ? sam : yes . yes , noodle buddha . we did n't plan on it . we just kind of ended up there . it 's a -- it 's a long , crazy story . julian : i would love to hear it sometime , seriously . sam : when patrick asked me to marry him , i - i do n't think he realized the significance of the day , and , i mean , i do n't know , i guess it was just a coincidence . julian : obviously one you could n't ignore , though . sam : yeah . i - i felt weird accepting another man 's proposal the night before my wedding anniversary , and then this morning , i - i found myself digging through my stuff , and i got out my wedding rings , and then ... i think i told you about these . julian : mm - hmm . sam : these figurines . julian : yes , yes . uh , jason was the dragon . sam : [ chuckles ] julian : you were the phoenix . right ? sam : chinese mythology . julian : mm - hmm . sam : the yin and yang , two halves of a whole . i have no idea why i took them with me today . i do n't know . but i do know that if patrick and i are gon na work things out , i 've got to figure out a way to let jason go .

'cause i got a front row seat for the aftermath of that . i know he was your best friend , but his work was to kill people . and when it catches up to him , well , the people that are left behind are the ones that grieve , like you and carly and his boys and sam . every step she takes to try and move on is a step away from him . intellectually , she knows that he 's gone , but he 's still with her , and it hurts . sonny : jason would want sam to be happy and move on . patrick : well , i would like that , too , but it 's not up to me , and it 's a lot easier said than done . she 's in love with someone she 's never gon na see again .

alexis goes to visit and introduce herself to paul hornsby , admitting she 's there to see him on behalf of julian . he is able to convince her that he might be a much better da than the previous two incumbents ( scott baldwin and ric lansing ) and that she ( and julian ) might be able to trust him . she encourages julian to believe he might be on their side . little do they know who paul really is . julian admits to sam that he has yet to find out who framed him for the shooting of sonny . she is worried about somebody coming after him and offers to unravel the mystery for her dad . he urges her not to get involved and put herself in danger . jake is still `` ever - present `` in man people 's lives , leaving sam feeling incomplete with the loss of jason and stalling to marry patrick just as jake is stalling to marry elizabeth . sonny somehow knows there was something more than just pain - killers and wishful thinking that caused him to see jake as jason . he knows there is no other human being on earth like jason and he admits he believes jake can not be anyone except jason ... although sonny , like everyone else , has no conscious awareness or reason as to why anyone would believe that .

elizabeth : so now you 're running around using your badge and your back injury to con pills out of unsuspecting doctors ? my god , lucky , when is this going to end ? lucky : you 're avoiding the question . elizabeth : oh , am i ? lucky : yeah , i asked you the real reason why you wanted to end our marriage . elizabeth : because you 're a drug addict , and i will not subject any child of mine to the irresponsible way you live your life . is that real enough ? lucky : why do n't you just admit it ? you 're using the pills as an excuse . you 're just -- are you mad at me because i had a thing with maxie ? well , i put an end to that for good . i 'll never see her again . elizabeth : just leave me alone . lucky : listen , you -- you got to listen to me . i 'm never going to let go of you . nikolas : get your hands off her .

[ scene_break ] jason : there 's something wrong with me . when i get hurt , i shut down . and i am trying to fight that because i do n't want to do that to you . [ jason sighs ] jason : i do n't want to lose the years we spent together . i do n't . everything you gave me -- you know , my life -- i was going to die , and you refused to let me . and now your life is a nightmare , and i want to help you . you just need to tell me how . sam : jason , if alexis dies , i -- i ca n't let you help me . i 'm going to have to find a way to stop needing you . when i first moved in with you , i was independent . and i 'm not saying that i had a great life , but i knew that i could -- i could always count on myself . and then slowly , little by little , i started to count on you instead . jason : i -- i wanted you to count on me . sam : i know , jason , i know , but i 'm not just talking about money . even though you supported me for more than two years of my life , and alexis -- she thinks it 's pitiful . she thinks it 's a sign of weakness or something . jason : come on , sam -- sam , you were pregnant . no one expected you to go back to work . and after the baby -- look , i needed you , ok ? i said it . i needed you . i needed your help -- with michael . and then i got sick . if you counted on me , i counted on you . sam : but you are ok on your own . maybe -- maybe you miss me a little . i mean , i -- i 'd like to think that you still do , but me -- i am the one whose life completely stopped , jason . i mean , even after everything that 's happening with alexis and my sisters and -- it 's -- it 's like half of me is there . the other half is constantly looking , searching for my way back to you . you probably think i am completely insane . jason : when i -- when i sleep , you know , there 's moments i wake up and i -- i still reach for you . and i remember why you 're not with me , and everything comes flooding back to me , and i got to move , i got to get up , i got to go to work , i got to do everything i can to make myself stop thinking about you . sam : i did n't know that . jason : you like to think i miss you ? i miss you all the time .

[ scene_break ] lucky : you need to butt out . this has nothing to do with you . it 's between me and my wife . nikolas : lucky , you do n't have a wife anymore because you drove her away by choosing your drug habit and your girlfriend over your marriage . lucky : listen , i am not an addict . these -- these are a prescription . elizabeth : because you 're lying to the doctors to get them . lucky : a staff doctor at mercy hospital would be able to tell the difference between a junkie and a patient in need . emily : lucky , maybe you should go . lucky : you know what ? i never should 've bought into your speech about my so- called drug addiction because it does n't exist . nikolas : no ? well , let 's just take inventory for a minute , shall we ? ok , you cheated on the love of your life . you -- you alienated your friends , your family . your wife is divorcing you , lucky . your life is falling apart . you understand that ? lucky : you know what ? my career is solid . it 's -- it 's better than it 's ever been . in fact , the reason it 's so good is because my brothers have given me their support from the force . too bad i ca n't say the same about any of you . nikolas : this -- this is ridiculous . my aunt is in there fighting for her life , while you 're throwing yours away and scrambling to justify it . now , you can disrespect your own life if you want . that 's your prerogative . but not me , not emily , and not elizabeth ever again , or i 'll make sure you regret ever even looking at a pill . now , just go home , lucky , if you have one . [ scene_break ] sonny : i -- i made it clear to michael and morgan over and over again that carly and i are divorced , we 're not getting back together . i mean , we -- we 're close , you know , and we 'll help each other , but we ca n't be a couple again . lainey : no , your words and your actions are very different things , and michael sees that clearly , believe me . sonny : how -- how do you know that ? lainey : he just told me . sonny : what did he tell you ? lainey : well -- um -- let 's see . you and carly belong together , jax is a distraction , and sooner or later , you will `` get jax `` out of the way . and you can bet if that 's what michael thinks , morgan does , too , because that 's what his big brother 's been telling him . sonny : all right , i 'll -- i 'll talk to michael again . lainey : no -- sonny : we 'll figure it out . lainey : no . why do n't you change your confusing behavior ? it 's unhealthy all the way around . [ scene_break ] jax : listen -- uh -- you sure you do n't want to -- never mind . i 'm sure everything 's fine . carly : max is just a mouthpiece for my ex - husband who has a really big ego and he ca n't stand the fact that i am here with you . i 'm not thinking about sonny , you should n't either . jax : ok . [ knock on door ] max : mrs. c , please ! you have to listen or you 're really going to regret it ! carly : i am going to show you what regret is if you do n't get out of my hotel ! [ jax chuckles ] jax : i think it worked . [ knock on door ] max : i do n't want to , but i 'm going to pick the lock if you give me no other choice . carly : i get that you 're the messenger , and i really do n't want to have to shoot you , ok ? you are a loyal employee to sonny ; you are a friend of mine , i know you 're just doing what he 's telling you to do , and i 'm not mad at you , i swear , ok , max ? max : thank you , mrs. c . carly : i want you to go back to sonny and tell him my reaction -- was `` horse- pucky . `` ok ? max : `` horse - pucky `` ? carly : horse - pucky ! [ scene_break ] sonny : i think you 're reading this all wrong . the person with the destructive cycle here is not me , it 's carly . lainey : really ? and how do you figure that ? sonny : well , she 's like one of those bunnies with the batteries that never wear down , and for the most part , you know , it 's true . she 's an ultimate survivor -- you knock her down , she gets right back up . but it does n't mean she does n't get scarred and bruised when she falls , and the best way to hurt carly -- you want to know what that is ? lainey : hmm ? sonny : you leave her . lainey : well , very perceptive . i -- i 'm so fascinated by this impromptu analysis , really . i mean , continue . i might learn something here . sonny : now you 're making fun of me . lainey : ah , maybe a little bit but , please , do n't let it stop you . sonny : well , you know the rest -- carly was your patient . you know the whole story about how she feels about her mother abandoning her and her adoptive father running out on her , and now she 's repeating the same pattern . lainey : we all do . sonny : yeah ? lainey : that 's the point of therapy -- recognize your patterns and try to avoid them . sonny : but carly has n't mastered that . she does n't know how to protect her heart . she gives a lot of love , and when that goes away , she self - destructs , and that 's what scares me . and now she 's with the biggest user of all -- jax -- who 's going to just , you know , use her up until he 's done with her and he dumps her in the garbage . so , what i 'm saying is if carly ca n't see that coming and i can since , you know -- then it 's my duty , as her ex - husband , as her friend , to make sure that jax does not hurt her . i 'm just going to run a little interference . he 'll get bored , he 'll go away , my kids and carly will be safe , and then everything will go back to being normal . lainey : i ca n't say that i buy your motives . but even if i did , i have huge misgivings about the end result . [ scene_break ] carly : max is a pretty truthful guy , though . i mean , he 's lied to me in the past , but that was only under sonny 's orders -- like when sonny went away with emily , he lied to me like crazy . it took me almost an hour to break him into submission . jax : but you knew that he was lying ? carly : yeah . it was obvious . jax : how ? carly : because he 's a terrible liar . you know , he -- he twitches , he looks everywhere but in your eye , and he sweats like a walrus and he always trips over his tongue . jax : oh , that 's interesting because i did n't notice any of that tonight . carly : no ? jax : you know , i 'm pretty good at calling a bluff , but in my professional opinion -- carly : my house is under an ocean of water . [ carly sighs ] [ scene_break ] jason : i hoped when i got back from my trip that we could just , you know , try again . i mean , i thought about it a lot -- what i can do to change things or make things better ; how just to find a way to get past what happened . i actually thought about taking you out on a date . you know , maybe to a concert , or to go to manhattan to see a play . sam : a play ? do n't you think you 'd be bored ? jason : no . because while you were watching the play , i 'd be watching you . you know , you really get into that stuff -- you 're laughing and you 're crying and you 're squirming around , you 're covering your eyes . sam : oh , come on , i do n't do that . jason : every time you watch a movie -- sam : oh -- jason : and it really started to worry me for a while . sam : are you talking about the time that i was on the couch watching that movie and i started -- jason : you were crying so hard -- sam : that was just one -- jason : that you could barely see . your eyes were like -- sam : oh , come -- it was n't that bad . jason : what are you talking about ? your face was all red , your nose was running , and i thought something terrible , horrible had happened , and i asked you , and you said , `` no , no , it 's fine . `` so i said , `` ok , i 'm going to go upstairs , go to bed . `` i hear the tv come on , i come back downstairs , and you 're crying even harder than you were the first time . sam : that 's because it was the saddest part of `` gone with the wind . `` jason : you could 've told me . [ sam sighs ] sam : i was -- i was still just getting to know you , you know , and i was trying to act all tough . besides , you were so calm and cool and in control . i just -- you know , i -- i thought for sure you would think that i was really silly . jason : and when you finally told me you were upset about a movie -- sam : you wanted to stay with me . jason , you were so sweet . i mean , i -- i think that you were kind of confused a little bit . you really did n't know what was going on when you agreed to stay there . and i can remember we turned that movie back on , and i tried to hold it in , and i just started to tear up again . and i remember thinking to myself , `` this -- this guy is sitting beside me , and he has no idea what 's going on and he probably thinks that i am insane . `` jason : actually , right at that moment , i was thinking , `` wow , is she beautiful . and i probably do n't understand her and i probably never will , `` but i started to like you a lot . sam : i do n't -- i do n't think i 'm ever going to be able to watch `` gone with the wind `` again without you . i just -- i do n't think i 'd be able to handle it . i 'm going to go downstairs . alexis ' surgery is probably over .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : you were ready to let go . i was the one who could n't . i asked you to remarry me . and that was selfish , because i was trying to hold on to something i already knew was gone . lucky : i could have said no . elizabeth : and i should have been honest with you the moment my feelings started to change . i was just afraid that if i told you the truth , you 'd go back to using pills . lucky : so you stayed with me out of fear ? pity ? elizabeth : no , i stayed with you because i wanted to have the life we always dreamed of . i thought if we tried hard enough , we could still have it . i was wrong . something changed between us . something we could n't get back . i 'm sorry . i never meant to hurt you . lucky : whew . i 'm sorry . i know i was n't the father or husband i should have been . especially when i was using . elizabeth : no . cameron and jake know how much you love them . and that 's not going to change .

[ scene_break ] [ diane chuckles ] diane : hang on . carly : okay . thank you . diane : thank you , chris , thank you , tony . you 're very thorough . well , you 're not even back in the country one hour and already in need of legal counsel . carly : all right , i 'm trying to not have a fight with sonny . now that the boys and i are back in town , he is going to want us to move in with him . diane : given the fact that your nanny was found dead in this very room , i 'd say that 's a pretty good idea . carly : all right , you know what ? jax is more than capable of protecting me and my boys . diane : yes , but be that as it may , michael and morgan are sonny 's children . so given your current situation , like it or not , that gives him a say in where the boys reside . carly : this is not a custody issue , okay ? i do n't want it to turn into a custody issue , but that 's what going to happen the second sonny finds out i want the boys to stay here with me and jax . that 's where you come in . diane : i was afraid of that . carly : i want you to explain the situation to sonny in that brittle , condescending way that you have so he 'll understand everything . diane : ahem -- i am a defense attorney who makes a very good living keeping sonny out of prison . and now , thanks to you and your custody issues and elizabeth 's divorce , i am up to my well - toned derriere in family law . carly : elizabeth 's getting divorced ? diane : mm - hmm . she wants me to draw up the papers as soon as possible . [ scene_break ] skye : is this a bad time ? ric : well , that depends . skye : well , i have a proposition for you . may i come in ? thank you . this wo n't take long . [ door closes ] ric : i 'm listening . skye : as you know , all of lorenzo 's assets have been frozen since his disappearance . ric : murder . skye : well , unless it 's actually proven that lorenzo is in fact dead , the police wo n't release any of the items they confiscated during the investigation , including his bank records . ric : hmm . skye : now , without that information , i ca n't transfer any of lorenzo 's money into lila 's trust fund . ric : oh -- the trust ? hmm . skye : lorenzo would want to know that his only daughter 's being provided for . ric : yeah , not to mention her mama . so , what 's the proposition , skye ? skye : if you help me regain control of lorenzo 's money , i 'll make sure you get a share of what 's ever recovered . ric : you must be pretty desperate to come to me . skye : well , i 'm smart enough to know that you make a very bad enemy . i think you 'd make a more useful friend . [ scene_break ] logan : i know i should have told you about the bet before we slept together . lulu : then why did n't you ? logan : you were the best thing that 's ever happened to me . i could not risk losing you . lulu : too late . logan : listen , it -- listen . it does n't have to be , all right ? [ lulu sighs ] logan : i promise , if you 'll just give me one more chance , i swear to god , i will never , ever hurt you again . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , i just , you know , do n't want you to get your hopes up thinking that just because lulu 's living here now , that things are going to change between you two . spinelli : so she can stay ? jason : you 're not hearing me . spinelli : ugh -- okay . yes , okay . okay , yes , the jackal knows that proximity will not make lulu 's heart fill with love overnight . jason : okay , then why 'd you ask her to move in ? spinelli : well , she 's -- she 's tangled in the unworthy one 's wicked web of lies . and as her most trusted and loyal friend , it is my responsibility to help guide her to -- to clarity , freedom , and peace . jason : if lulu agreed to meet with logan -- i mean , there 's a chance that , you know , she could forgive him . spinelli : oh -- no . the simian 's unworthy ways have opened fair lulu 's eyes . and now that she knows logan hayes for the bottom feeder that he is , she 'll never trust him again . [ scene_break ] jax : carly ? carly : oh , thank god . you 're home . i have to run out . you have to watch the boys . it 's an emergency . i 'll see you later . jax : is somebody hurt ? carly : no , but they 're going to be . trevor : your wife nearly ran me over on the front lawn . jax : oh , i 'm sorry . but i 'd rather she was n't here for this . trevor : well , why did you want to see me ? jax : i have a message for mr. zacchara . tell him to leave carly and the boys alone or i will come after him . trevor : with all due respect , mr. jacks , you 're not in any position to make that threat . jax : well , it 's a statement of fact . i 'm the only one in a position to make that threat . [ scene_break ] ric : i 'll -- i 'll see what i can do about getting alcazar 's assets released . skye : i will certainly sleep much better knowing that lila rae 's future has been secured . ric : mm - hmm . skye : i 've done nothing but worry since lorenzo 's disappearance . ric : yeah . you know , skye , all of this could have been avoided if you would have been just a little bit more cooperative in court . a few simple statements , alcazar could have been declared dead , jason would have gone to jail for the rest of his life . and lila rae would have gotten her inheritance from her father without any questions asked . skye : well , there was no real proof that jason killed lorenzo . ric : ah , right . skye : there still is n't . ric : mm - hmm . skye : why do you care so much , ric ? you hated the man in life . why are you spending so much time seeking justice for his supposed death ? ric : because it 's my job to make sure criminals like sonny and jason are held accountable . skye : i 've learned through very painful experience that seeking revenge is a total waste of time . hating someone , trying to destroy them , expends an incredible amount of energy that can be put to much more productive use . ric : yeah ? like what ? skye : you 're a smart man . i 'll let you figure that out . [ scene_break ] jax : i 've done my homework . i know exactly who mr. zacchara is , what companies he owns , and how to bring him down . so if he comes anywhere near my family again , i 'm going to make a majority stock bid on one of the companies zacchara uses as a front . trevor : well , that 's a futile exercise . we 'll block all your attempts to buy up stock . jax : no , you 're missing the point , mr. lansing . you see , once i make the offer , the s.e.c . becomes involved . and all the companies ' books are subject to review before the sale . and how long do you think it 's going to be before they find discrepancies ? you see , this is what i do , mr. lansing . this is my profession . i buy companies . i 'm sure your boss is at the top of his game . and he could probably beat sonny in a mob war . but he wo n't be so lucky with the i.r.s . we all know what happened to al capone . gone to prison for tax evasion . you back zacchara off or i will take him down . you see yourself out . [ scene_break ] lulu : i get that you 're sorry . i even believe that you would take it all back if you had a chance . but it does n't change what actually happened . you lied to me . you cheated , and i do n't think that i could ever trust you again after that . logan : lulu , please , would you -- spinelli : unhand the blond one . [ lulu sighs ] logan : stay out of this . lulu : no , do n't talk to him like that . logan : i 'm sorry ; would you just tell him to leave just so we can finish talking ? lulu : spinelli 's not going anywhere . spinelli : but you are . be gone , simian . the fair one has no use for your unworthy ways . logan : lulu , please -- lulu : please go . spinelli : that 's right ! [ phone beeps ] spinelli : keep walking ! or the jackal will be forced to unleash a fury like the goth god of zune ! mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] [ footsteps approach ] emily : how 's lucky ? nikolas : well , elizabeth was the love of his life . emily : yeah . nikolas : and now it 's over . and he knows that the divorce is for the better , but that certainly does n't make it any easier to let go . emily : i know how much you wanted them to work things out . nikolas : yeah . well , i ca n't force lucky to stay with elizabeth , just like i ca n't tell lulu to keep away from logan hayes . [ nikolas chuckles ] emily : it 's frustrating , is n't it ? nikolas : yeah . emily : seeing the people you love in so much pain , not being able to do anything about it . nikolas : mm - hmm . how 's elizabeth ? emily : she knew it was time . nikolas : hmm . emily : you know , things have been over for a while , and no matter what they did , they just could n't save the relationship . nikolas : i know . and i thank god every day that we saved ours . emily : we were given another chance . nikolas : mm - hmm . emily : and i am never giving it up . nikolas : mm - hmm . emily : hmm . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] lucky : i told nikolas and emily . elizabeth : i know . emily came by earlier . and so did diane miller . lucky : jason 's lawyer ? elizabeth : she 's agreed to handle the divorce . lucky : i guess you 're not wasting any time , are you ? elizabeth : i called her after we had talked . i did n't expect her to get back to me so quickly . lucky : well , i 'm sure jason told diane to make our divorce her top priority . elizabeth : maybe it 's for the best . i mean , dragging this out is not going to be good for anyone , especially the boys . singer : there 's nowhere else lucky : where where are you going ? elizabeth : to my gram 's . lucky : why do n't you and the boys just stay in the house ? i 'll move out . elizabeth : no , lucky , this was your mother 's house . i need to find someplace that i can call my own . the boys and i will be leaving in the morning . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] jason : hold on ! oh , my -- are you kidding me ? carly : is she here ? jason : who 's -- who are you talking about ? carly : not here yet . who am i talking about ? elizabeth is divorcing lucky . she met with diane tonight to file the papers . it 's only a matter of time before she shows up here needing a shoulder to cry on , trying to worm her way back into your life , and i 'm not going to let it happen , okay ? you deserve better . jason : okay , hold -- carly -- carly : no , no , no . do n't argue with me , because you protect me whether i like it or not , so i 'm going to protect you . [ jason sighs ] [ next_on ] alexis : there 's something wrong with you . jason : i need to find out who killed leticia .
