[ scene_break ] lainey : as your doctor , it is my responsibility to help you get better and to be honest with you . i do n't mean to upset you , and i 'm not trying to control your life , but it is my professional opinion that seeing johnny zacchara at this point is a bad idea . johnny : lulu wants to see me . she called me . lucky : no , she is n't thinking clearly right now . johnny : i 'm trying to help . that 's it . lucky : how many times do you have to hear this ? if you really want to help my little sister , then you stay the hell out of her life .

[ scene_break ] minister : those whom god hath brought together , let no man put asunder . kate : that goes for women , too . minister : by the power vested in me , et cetera , et cetera , i now pronounce you husband and wife . do you want me to say `` you may kiss the bride `` ? sonny : uh , yeah . i 'd like that a lot . minister : all right . kate : we 'll do it . sonny : all right . minister : okay , now you face the congregation , and i say , `` i present you sonny and kate corinthos , `` and you walk out . kate : oh , after maxie gives me the flowers . maxie : they 're all yours . kate : big finish , big applause . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : what if no one applauds ? sonny : no , everybody 's going to applaud . everybody 's going to be happy , because we 're happy . we 're going to walk out of here with family and friends , and you know what ? we 're going to start a brand new life . maxie : i just hope nobody starts crying or screaming or the ceiling does n't collapse or something . mike : the only thing that matters to me is that sonny is happy , and to tell you the truth , i never thought i would see him marry anyone with carly still in the picture . maxie : maybe that 's why carly 's coming to the wedding , to prove to everyone that she 's over sonny . mike : carly 's coming to the wedding ? maxie : she rsvp 'd . mike : now i 'm worried . oops , sorry . [ sonny laughs ] sonny : no , no , hey , i 'll see you . mike : i 'll see you later . kate : thank you , maxie . sonny : okay , now . kate : mm - hmm ? sonny : we just got through the wedding rehearsal . kate : yes . sonny : the church did n't catch on fire . kate : yes . sonny : how do you feel about that ? kate : i feel pretty good . sonny : you feel good ? kate : mm - hmm . sonny : and then after the wedding , we 're going to vanish to the island , right ? kate : mm - hmm , and then straight to paris and french wine country . sonny : okay , and then -- i tell you what . i 'll make a call . we 'll get a jet , and we 'll skip all this , and we 'll go straight to the island for a couple days . [ sonny laughs ] kate : what ? nice try . sonny : all right , listen to me , all right ? i 'm going to settle things with the minister , and i 'll see you at the dinner . kate : okay . oh , but wait . can you come by and pick me up , because i want to change . sonny : okay , i see . you ca n't wear the actual rehearsal dress to the rehearsal dinner . kate : oh , he 's learning . okay , i 'll see you . sonny : all right , bye . [ scene_break ] carly : so , i did n't know kate was italian on her mother 's side . olivia : sonny never asked me to lie about this , because he knows i would n't . i 'm proud of who i am , proud of where i come from . i got no time to lie for someone who is n't . carly : oh , kate 's ashamed of where she comes from . that must be tough for you . olivia : kate howard , as she calls herself , is really constanza louise falconeri , connie for short . we all grew up in bensonhurst , and her dad and my dad are brothers . carly : you guys all knew sonny . olivia : everybody knew sonny . all the girls were in love with him ; even little miss prim and proper connie . carly : so all this went on when you guys were in high school ? olivia : yeah , connie and i went to an all girls ' catholic school , sacred heart . carly : mm - hmm . olivia : sonny went to the boys ' school , and he was , you know , always getting in trouble , always getting suspended , and , you know , finally just dropped out . carly : you went out with him , did n't you ? olivia : well , it takes one to know one . yeah , sonny and i spent some time together , yeah . but it was always -- it was always connie he wanted , the one he could n't have . carly : hmm , i bet he had her up on a pedestal and just worshipped her from afar . olivia : it was n't that far . i mean , she did finally deign to go out with him , probably just to spite me , but -- carly : so , are you married now ? olivia : no , never have been . do n't miss it , either . carly : do n't knock it until you try it . olivia : this from the woman who ca n't do it enough , at least with sonny . carly : you and your cousin are nothing alike . olivia : well , connie , i mean , she was an only child . that girl was spoiled like you would not believe . you know , her parents did not even want her talking to sonny corinthos , but they would sneak away to coney island or some little place on 19th avenue , you know , like no one knew what they were doing . he wanted to marry her even then . carly : man , i could never figure out how sonny could fall in love with a wasp from connecticut . [ olivia laughs ] olivia : connecticut . the closest connie falconeri ever got to connecticut was geography class with sister loyola , which she aced , because she aced everything . she was the class valedictorian , and she -- she wanted to get out , you know ? not everyone likes bensonhurst the way that i do . kate : so what happened between the two of them ? olivia : well , i do n't really know all the details . one week they were going out . the next week they were n't , and sonny got deeper in with joe scully . connie went off to princeton in the fall . carly : and she broke his heart ? olivia : well , she had a career to pursue . you know , somebody had to go touring around in all those limos , sipping champagne . so what she did -- she got a full scholarship to princeton . room and board , books , everything . i remember the night that she went away , we had a big dinner for her , and everybody came out to say goodbye at the train station . there must have been 30 , 35 people there . we all knew that she was going to make it big . you know , a lot of people from bensonhurst have . you know , she was going to make the falconeris proud . she got on that train , and she never looked back . she was registered at princeton as katherine hardwicke howard , and she never once invited her parents to visit her , not once . carly : if you 're so mad at her , why are you here ? olivia : she 's family , and sonny invited me . carly : i see . olivia : it 's going to be some wedding , huh ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : okay , let me think about this , just for a second . i have a week of vacation that i either have to use or lose , so i do n't think epiphany 's going to mind such last - minute notice , and like i told you , lucky 's going to take the boys to the mountains this week . jason : okay , you should -- you should tell lucky you 're going away with me . elizabeth : i will , just in case there 's an emergency with the boys . but he 's getting on with his life , and i 'm getting on with mine . jason : okay , i should leave , or i 'm never going to leave you . i want you to meet me tomorrow at the airport , okay , right after the wedding , and you can just wait in the first class lounge for me . elizabeth : okay , i 'll be there . jason : all right . [ scene_break ] nikolas : why would i want to show up at your room in the middle of the night , nadine ? nadine : that -- that 's not what i meant . nikolas : you were hoping that i 'd just climb through the window and -- oh , wait , that was you at the police commissioner 's home . i 'm sorry . nadine : be quiet . nikolas : if i do n't know what you want , how can i give it to you ? nadine : okay , look , look . we are -- we are really busy . obviously , we are swamped until epiphany gets back , right , leyla ? leyla : oh , i 'm staying out of this one . nadine : look , what i meant was that i know how worried you were about me , and i thought that maybe you might come in in the middle of the night and check to make sure that i was still breathing or something . nikolas : right , yeah . nadine : besides , why are you making such a big deal about this ? what , you ca n't make it through the day without me ? nadine : well , i did n't expect you to just get up and leave this morning . nadine : well , i have to get back to my real life , because i might have another clue . nikolas : oh , do n't -- do n't . is this about the drug ring thing again ? nadine : it 's just a hunch . nikolas : can we go back to the part where i show up in your bedroom in the middle of the night ? that was -- whatever it is , please do n't do it . nadine : i 'll be fine . nikolas : it 's going to get out . all right , all right , whatever . what 's the clue ? nadine : you 're just going to laugh at me , and besides , it 's probably nothing , so do n't worry about it . nikolas : too late now , right , leyla ? nadine : it 's just something that i thought of when i was lying awake at night in your castle . nikolas : wyndemere is not a castle . nadine : well , it 's the closest thing that i have ever been to a castle , and those nights i spent there were the closest i 've ever been to a prince , which was really not that close . nikolas : what is the hunch ? nadine : you 'll find out soon enough , maybe . but right now , i really have to get back to work . thanks , leyla , and i 'm sure that -- that you have to get back to whatever it is princes do all day . nikolas : i work . nadine : really ? huh . let me know when that happens . i would love to see that for myself . nikolas : i work . [ scene_break ] lulu : johnny ! lucky : lulu ? lulu : you just made johnny leave , did n't you ? lucky : i 'm trying to help you . lulu : you have no right to keep johnny away from me . lucky : will you just look at this at another point of view ? lulu : you know what ? if you 're going to lecture me , you might as well leave . lucky : nobody enjoys keeping you away from johnny . lulu : you and dr. winters are wrong . lucky : now , dr. winters is very reasonable , and she has a great reputation . i agree with her , lulu . your life started falling apart the first day you met that guy . lulu : fine , when i met johnny some bad things happened , but again , johnny did n't cause any of them . [ scene_break ] lucky : lulu , you are lying to yourself . sonny : you heard from max ? milo : yeah , he got to sicily okay . sonny : and ? milo : he , um -- sonny : how 's it going with your father ? milo : well , i 'm glad i was n't the first - born son . max has it pretty rough sometimes . sonny : well , i can imagine . i mean , you know , maximus giambetti -- that 's a legend , right ? milo : yeah . sonny : okay , turn around . anthony : please , there 's no problem . can you spare a minute for a crippled old man ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal ignored the ominous signs . my beloved granny can not attend the nuptials due to a scheduling conflict with her annual bingo pilgrimage to the kettlesboro , which i fear is just a transparent excuse to avoid the exchange of vows which she has no faith will be kept . jason : it does n't matter what your grandmother thinks . this is between you and maxie . spinelli : part of maxie fears that being married will herald the end of something , so i need to assure her that this is not the end , but the beginning of a lifelong journey , one that will be joyful and soulfully fulfilling , that our love and maximista herself will grow . grow . uh , grow as a vine which , crawling one and every way , did strangle . my mind is mush . jason : okay , you just need to say what 's in your heart , spinelli . spinelli : i feel my words will be inadequate . jason : how did you win maxie over in the first place ? spinelli : i do n't know . jason : okay . well , i 'm gon na tell you , because i watched the whole thing . you were yourself . you did n't speak other people 's words , even though that would 've been a lot easier for me to follow . you did n't pretend to be anybody else . you were you . that 's who maxie fell in love with . this is n't hard . all you got ta do is be honest . spinelli : one of stone cold 's most compelling qualities is that he speaks the truth , however inconvenient or hurtful , so i call upon that attribute now . do you -- do you think we 're making the right choice ? or are maximista and i making the biggest mistake of our lives ? jason : only you and maxie can answer that . but just so you know , they do n't come any better than you , spinelli . maxie 's the lucky one here , and i hope she knows it .

[ scene_break ] connie : [ as kate ] i 'm so sorry , sonny . maxie is a complete disaster . sonny : she can be a little airheaded at times , but she can handle , you know , whatever you throw at her . that 's why i wanted her to help you with the wedding . connie : i know , and i 'm so thankful for you . sonny : okay . connie : and i really appreciate everything that she 's done . she just , unfortunately , has a tendency to overreact or , in this case , misinterpret what i said . sonny : so you did n't want chinese food ? connie : no , i did n't . i said pan - asian . sonny : pan -- oh . connie : pan - asian , and so she orders me pupu platters and jell - o shots ? [ groans ] i mean , it 's my fault , really , because i told her i wanted a complete departure from our last wedding . which i certainly do n't want to relive with you , and she just took it too far , i guess . sonny : i know , but why would she even bring up connie ? what is that ? connie : oh , yeah , see , that 's -- that 's maxie talk for my integration . you know , it 's hard enough talking about it and living through it , not that i want to deny that it happened to me -- to us . and , um -- you know , if you want to -- just elope , i would understand . say the word .

[ scene_break ] carly : there 's my food . sam : do n't stay any longer on my account . carly : you know what i want ? sam : what ? carly : i want for those papers to be filed and for the divorce to be final , but i seriously doubt that 's what jason wants . sam : has he talked to you about the divorce ? carly : yeah . and he 's asked me not to try and fix things . he says that all he does is remind you of the child that you lost and the ways he 's failed you , so the only thing he can do for you is let you go . you have all the power . you could have him back , sam . sam : yeah , but according to you , that could be the worst thing i could do for him . carly : the worst thing you can do to jason is what you 're doing right now . you 're jerking jason around . kissing him one minute and jumping into mcbain 's lap the next ? if it 's over , let it be over . sam : what if it 's not ? i mean , what if it 's meant to be ? [ scene_break ] anna : apparently our friend todd manning went to visit heather a few days before she escaped from ferncliff . i mean , that directly contradicts his statement that he severed all ties with her . mcbain : i 'm assuming they patted him down before this visit . anna : oh , i do n't know . there 's no exact proof that he aided and abetted her escape , but that 's not really the point , 'cause she 's at large and that 's that . my whole question is their connection . mcbain : mm . anna : why would a wealthy newspaper publisher jump to the bidding of a certified crackpot that he 's only met a few months ago ? manning gives her a job that she has absolutely no experience at , then he comes running when she gets arrested -- mcbain : mm - hmm . anna : -- and , lastly , he visits her at ferncliff . why ? you have a look . what is that look ? mcbain : this look ? anna : that one . mcbain : i might be onto something . anna : what ? tell me . mcbain : patience , anna . is n't that what you 're always saying to me ? patience ? anna : come on . mcbain : look , if what i have turns out to be true , it might explain why manning 's under heather webber 's thumb .

lulu : oh , my god . it 's beautiful . olivia : is n't it ? is n't it great ? dante : okay . what do you know about this ? olivia : nothing . you do n't need to worry anything about that . dante : yeah , right , i do n't . one of sonny 's shipments was hit . i 'm guessing he did n't take the news too well . olivia : your father does n't know anything about that right now . dante : how does that happen ? olivia : because i told shawn not to tell him about it . he 's got enough on his mind right now , especially with the disaster that happened at morgan 's reception . dante : what happened at morgan 's reception ? olivia : [ sighs ] wedding night without the husband . we sure did it different back in my day . kiki : did we really spend the whole night talking ? michael : we had a lot to talk about . what we 're gon na do about us and morgan . kiki : i still ca n't believe that your dad blew the lid off of everything at the party . michael : geez . ca n't believe he was holding on to morgan 's secret this whole time . kiki : do you think that your dad told the truth because of his illness ? michael : i do n't know . it 's possible . when he was giving that speech , he did n't really seem in control . you know , however it happened , though , i 'm selfishly ... i 'm really glad it did . kiki : i just ca n't believe that morgan knew that you and i were n't cousins before the wedding . michael : yeah , he lied to the both of us this whole time . kiki : i lied to him , too . i did n't feel the way morgan felt , love him the way that he wanted me to . but every day during our marriage , i told him what he wanted to hear . that 's -- that 's my lie in my own way . michael : you 're not having any regrets , are you ? kiki : about us ... being together ? no , no . i just ... feels unreal . michael : but in a - a good way , right ? kiki : in a very , very , very good way . i ca n't help but be worried about morgan , though . he was so upset and angry last night . i just wonder where he ran off to . carly : come on , ava , i know you 're in there . ava : it 's your mother . morgan : so ? i 'm a grown man . ava : yeah , i know . just , uh , get dressed , okay ? morgan : well , what do you want me to do , hide ? ava : yes ! actually , that 's exactly what i would like for you to do . and get dressed . morgan : i 'm not hiding from my mom . ava : morgan , please . i am not up for the scene that will take place if carly comes in here and sees you here with me . carly : ava ! i have a master key , and i 'm not afraid to use it . ava : morgan , please . franco : they ca n't do that . can they do that ? diane : they most certainly can do that . since your funds helped you perpetuate an art - filled killing spree ... franco : take it easy with the word `` spree . `` diane : ... those funds are now going to be subject to the ruling of the civil court . franco : okay , so what ? they froze my assets . what about my other assets ? what about my paintings ? what about -- what about my artwork ? diane : everything has been seized pending the verdict . franco : what am i gon na do ? how am i gon na put a roof over my head ? i mean , carly 's letting me stay here , but -- diane : yes , about the mercurial mrs. jacks -- apparently she 's had a change of heart . ran into her in the hallway . she wants me to let you know your bill is due . franco : yeah , well , why would she let me stay here for free anymore ? diane : i do n't know . why would she ? but it seems to me you and carly have gotten oddly close . franco : yeah , we kind of -- i do n't know . maybe . i hurt her feelings . diane : oh , you hurt her . well , of course you did . franco : how am i gon na live ? how am i gon na put food on the table ? i mean , a civil case -- it could take months . it could take -- it could take years , right ? how am i gon na make money ? diane : well , maybe not all your assets have been frozen . have you thought about selling this ? shawn : alexis . alexis : shawn . derek : [ clears throat ] alexis : have you met ? derek : derek wells . shawn : hey . alexis : derek was danny 's donor . shawn : i see . that was very generous of you . how is danny ? alexis : much better . dr. clay thinks that he 'll be able to go home soon . shawn : that 's good to hear . derek : i 'm just glad i could help . oh , and , um , my condolences about what happened down at the docks last night . shawn : what are you talking about ? derek : oh , um , you work for sonny corinthos , do n't you ? you guys were hit pretty hard last night . ava : carly . if you 'd given me a moment to get dressed , i would have opened the door for you . carly : sorry . ava : so , tell me what 's so urgent . carly : uh , i think we need to have a conversation about what happened last night . ava : oh , y - yes . it was such a shame that the kids ' wedding reception was ruined . carly : that 's all you got ? a shame ? everything that happened last night was your fault . ava : me ? carly : yeah , you 're the one that talked sonny into co - hosting that party with you when he should have been grieving for connie . what the hell were you thinking ? ava : i just thought that -- carly : and what about the conversation you had with him about going off his meds ? ava : no , i was just -- carly : he stopped taking his lithium . that 's why he was off the rails last night , and that 's why he broke morgan 's heart . who knows what 's gon na happen to his marriage ? ava : the marriage is over . carly : how do you know ? kiki : well , we know morgan definitely would n't go to sonny . not after he felt like he betrayed him . michael : well , you feel what you feel , no matter how anyone else sees it . kiki : that 's cryptic . michael : yeah , my , uh ... uncle jason said that to me . i was pissed off about something . i felt like i was screwed over . and , uh , jason 's a really good listener . i vented to him . eventually , i asked him if i was right . and , uh , he said that to me . he said ... `` you feel what you feel . `` and that 's what i think about when i , uh , when i think about morgan . he , uh , does n't see what happened last night as my -- my father telling the truth . he sees it as my father chose me over him . so , no , i do n't think morgan 's gon na be stopping by my dad 's place anytime soon . kiki : i know i 'm certainly not welcome there . i doubt your dad would want the woman that broke his son 's heart under his roof . michael : kiki , my dad does n't blame you for what happened last night . not at all . kiki : still does n't change the fact that i 'm homeless . michael : not necessarily . kiki : what do you mean ? michael : um ... how would you feel about moving in with me ? patrick : and , hey , i got some good news . sabrina : oh . patrick : i 'm having coffee with dr. chu so i can explain why you had to call out . she owes me a couple favors , so hopefully she 'll give you another opportunity on the o.b . detail . sabrina : thank you so much . that 's very sweet , patrick . but i can handle this myself . patrick : oh , believe me . i know you can handle anything . but this was mostly my responsibility , and i would really like to do this for you . sabrina : you really have put on the charm defensive ever since you found out about carlos . patrick : me ? no ! sabrina : [ laughs ] patrick : just remember , he 's out of your life for good , right ? you said it . ava : how would i know if morgan and kiki 's marriage was over over over ? carly : you 're the one who just seemed so sure , but yet you left before the party imploded , so you did n't stick around to see the disaster that you set into motion . so how the hell would you know about kiki and morgan ? [ vase shatters ] carly : what was that ? ava : what was what ? carly : `` what was what ? `` ava : what ? carly : you have somebody here . ava : oh , do n't be silly . no , it 's just from the next room . your walls are very thin here . carly : really ? who is it ? silas clay ? i mean , you guys were all over each other last night . but why would you try and hide silas clay from me ? i mean , who would you have back there that you would n't -- i know who you have back there . i know who you 're hiding . kiki : absolutely not . i ca n't move in with you , michael . michael : why not ? when you first came to port charles , you stayed with me for weeks . kiki : but we were n't a couple then . michael : yeah , exactly . now we are , right ? and i - i want you with me . kiki : it 's not that simple . michael : it can be . kiki : this relationship is n't going to be easy . the deck is stacked against us . michael : you 're afraid people wo n't approve . kiki : i know that they wo n't . [ sighs ] for starters , michael , there is your mother , who has made it very clear that she does n't like me . michael : i told you that does n't matter . kiki : yes , it does ! i know that you two are close . a - and i hate to admit it -- she has a point . who wants to see your two sons fighting over some girl ? i 'm sure thinks if i packed up and left that you and morgan could be brothers again . michael : no , morgan and i will always be brothers , no matter how pissed off he is at the moment . look , i told you not to worry about my mom . she can only push me so far , okay ? and once she sees i 'm not gon na give you up , she 'll back off . kiki : but you admit that there 'll be a fight . michael : i 'll admit the possibility of a disagreement . kiki : okay , and what about your father ? he was an absolute mess last night . it 's not gon na make it any easier if we 're together , right ? and do n't even get me started on the quartermaines . michael : yeah , i wo n't get you started . kiki : because i did n't inherit the money from being one of them , now they 're going to think that the only reason why i 'm with you is because i want that money . michael : tracy would think that if she paid any attention to my personal life , which she does n't . kiki : what about dante ? michael : okay . all right . it will take people some time to adjust to us as a couple . i - i - i ... kiki : i 'm just saying us moving in together is n't a good idea . it just gives everyone something else to stack against us . michael : okay , but you still want to make this work , right ? carly : i got you dead to rights , ava jerome . i know who you have in your room . ava : you do ? carly : mm - hmm . franco . i mean , i thought your little tryst was bogus . he did have a groupie up in his room the other night . but that would be you , right ? the first , the original groupie . that 's why diane could n't find him a minute ago . carly : franco , get out here ! ava : carly , let 's not make a scene . carly : franco , have the guts to face me ! morgan : it 's not ... franco . franco : you want me to sell this . diane : why not ? i mean , it 's one of yours , is n't it ? i got to tell you , this one i truly do n't understand . to me , it just looks like some fingerpainting from a resident in a funny farm . but as long as it 's got the name `` franco `` on it , there are a lot of people who 'd be willing to pay a lot of money for it . franco : would n't the state just seize any other dollars i made ? diane : mm , there are ways around that . and fortunately you have a supremely competent attorney . i 'd be willing to broker the whole thing , for a modest fee , of course . franco : oh , of course . there 's only one problem with this painting . diane : what 's that ? franco : it 's not a franco . kiki : michael ... i love you . i have n't been able to stay away from you since the day we met . michael : yeah , i kind of picked up on that . kiki : stop it . you did n't do any better by staying away from me . michael : that is true . no matter how many times i promised myself i would stay away from you , i could n't wait till the next time i saw you . kiki : well , see ? when you put it that way , of course i want to be with you . michael : me too . and that 's -- that 's all that matters . kiki : we have to play this right . right ? and moving in together the day after my marriage crumbles is not the way to do it . michael : okay . so where are you gon na go ? kiki : the only place i can . my mom 's . carly : oh , my god . this has got to be the worst case of déja vu i 've ever had . walking in on a woman i hate with my son in my hotel . this is not happening . this is not happening . morgan : [ sighs ] well , if it 's any consolation , mom , i was n't blackout drunk and ava 's not my stepmother . carly : she is your mother - in - law . okay , wait a minute . wait a minute . when this happened with michael and brenda , brenda did n't sleep with michael . she was just trying to make me think that . so please , please just drop the act , okay , and tell me that you did not sleep with that woman . morgan : i ca n't do that , mom . 'cause i did . carly : you bitch . morgan : whoa . lulu : so sonny makes a wedding toast that tears the happy couple apart . olivia : [ sighs ] dante : poor morgan . that kid . when you 're in love with someone , you do stupid things , and then to have the whole thing blow up on you like that ... olivia : guys , it was awful . it was awful . it was one of those times where you do n't even know where to look . and then when morgan started lacing into sonny -- your father was practically out of his mind . dante : i thought we got through to sonny at the haunted star . olivia : so did i . it turns out he 's off his meds . lulu : oh , well , that explains a lot . olivia : yes , it does . i do n't know how he did it . he completely fooled me . i had no idea . dante : all right , where is he ? i 'm gon na go talk to him . olivia : no , no , no , no , no . it 's fine . it 's fine . he 's fine . carly called me today . she managed to get through to him . he 's back on his meds . it 's gon na take a couple days for him to get back to regular . and in the meantime , he does not need to know that anyone is gunning for him . sabrina : so , what seems to be the trouble , mr ... rivera . carlos : hello , beautiful . sabrina : carlos , what are you doing here ? carlos : i came to see you , beautiful . you look different . where are your glasses ? sabrina : i wear contacts now . carlos : and your hair . wow ! sabrina , you look wonderful . good . you 're finally showing the world the beautiful woman that i always knew . sabrina : carlos , i told you last night i 'm with someone else . carlos : right . patrick . sabrina : yes . patrick . i do n't want to go down this road again , okay ? i do n't want to get back together with you . i thought i made myself perfectly clear . carlos : take it easy . i 'm not here to win you back . i 'm here because i need a nurse . shawn : you got something to say to me ? derek : uh , i did n't mean to step on any toes . it 's just that alexis had told me that you guys have a history together , and she mentioned that she once dated one of sonny 's men , so i just -- alexis : okay , okay . well , this is really awkward . can i talk to you alone , please ? excuse us . derek : yeah , of course . shawn : what the hell are you thinking ? alexis : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . please do n't blow this out of proportion . shawn : you ca n't keep telling everyone my business , especially when they work for the press . alexis : i know , okay ? i 'm sorry . i was having an emotional moment at the hospital , and he was there , and you know how i get when i 'm nervous . i start rambling , and i just sort of blurted everything out . shawn : that 's all that 's been happening ? alexis : that 's it . that 's it . not that it 's any of your business . shawn : what are you even doing here ? okay , i have n't seen you since you called it off with me . i figured you 'd written me off . alexis : you know what , shawn ? in spite of everything , i happen to still care about you . i heard about the explosion . i knew you were on the dock . so i was worried . sue me . shawn : i 'm fine . thank you . alexis : okay . so , our kids are hanging around with each other . we 're gon na be in each other 's lives . so let 's just be civil , okay ? shawn : you 're right . you 're right . alexis : thank you for noticing . shawn : [ chuckles ] alexis : are you really okay ? shawn : yeah , i 'm fine . i mean , the ship got hit when i was still standing on the pier . i 'm more concerned about who was responsible . alexis : you have any leads ? shawn : actually , i got one of the associates to give up a name . dante : so , obviously sonny 's -- he 's not coming to the christening . olivia : no . sonny disagrees . he called me this morning to let me know he was gon na be there . lulu : uh , is that wise ? his health should come first . olivia : sonny is very excited about welcoming his granddaughter into the catholic faith . dante : okay , so we 'll postpone it . olivia : no ! no ! no , no , no . call me superstitious . i am not taking any chances on this grandbaby 's soul , with everything that 's been going on with this family . dante : you 're not superstitious , ma . you just really , really , really love your granddaughter . olivia : i do . as much as i love you and as much as i love lulu . so what about you ? are you parents gon na be able to make it today ? lulu : uh ... my mom is still in paris . she 's having some extra tests . olivia : nothing serious , i hope . is all okay ? lulu : yeah . no , it 's okay . the doctors just want to gather some more data since her recovery was so extraordinary . olivia : what a relief . and , uh ... your dad ? lulu : um , yeah , i do n't think that my dad 's gon na be able to make it . olivia : i 'm sorry , honey . at least we know the godparents are gon na be there , right ? [ chuckles ] what ? dante : [ sighs ] olivia : what ? dante : nothing . i do n't want you to overreact . olivia : dante angelo falconeri , what are you trying so hard to avoid telling me ? dante : nothing . we have n't picked the godparents yet . olivia : [ sighs ] michael : are you sure you want to stay with your mom ? i mean , you two do n't exactly get along . kiki : yes , you have a point . but it 's just a temporary fix . besides , she is the one that set this whole party in motion . it 's weird . i 'm glad the whole truth came out . i just wish it 'd happened a little differently . why did n't your dad just call us over , sit us down , and say , `` look , sorry , but the truth is ... `` michael : my dad should n't have been there . the only reason he was there is because your mom talked him into it . and , uh , now i 'm worried . kiki : i do n't think my mom 's gon na be inviting your dad to anymore parties . michael : no . i mean about you . do n't you think your mom 's gon na try and take advantage of you again ? kiki : hey , i can read my mom like a book . and if she tries something , at least i 'll be there to know exactly what i 'm getting into . morgan : hey ! leave her alone ! leave her alone ! kiki and i are n't married anymore , okay ? ! carly : that 's not the point ! this woman is insane . she manipulated your father . now she 's trying to manipulate you ! ava : i did no such thing . carly : oh , shut up ! morgan : ava , please let me handle this , okay ? mom , no one manipulated me . carly : please , please do n't be so naive . okay ? this woman -- look at her . she 's a predator . she goes after impressionable people like you . morgan : i went after her . all right ? i wanted to sleep with ava . carly : oh , god . get your clothes . we are leaving right now . diane : oh . well , no wonder it does n't have your usual finesse . who made it , some crazy fan ? franco : yeah , that sounds about right . diane : well , just because you ca n't put this one on the market does n't mean you ca n't create others . franco : you 're right . you are right . i 'm a free man now . i am an artist . diane : you are an extremely successful artist . franco : yes , and what do successful artists do ? they make art . they create . i do n't have to sit around this motel room . i 'm gon na make a piece . diane : make dozens . i can put together a whole show for you . franco : yes ! i 'm gon na need $ 7,200 . diane : what ? franco : if you want me to have a successful , not to mention lucrative , show , i 'm gon na need some supplies . olivia : so wait a minute . you 're telling me that you scheduled this christening , and you have n't even picked the godparents yet ? what the heck is the matter with you ? dante : stop it , please . okay , you steamrolled this whole process . this is only happening right now -- olivia : grandmother 's prerogative . grandmother 's prerogative . okay , look , i assume that you 're gon na want maxie to be the godmother , considering the fact that she 's practically family , and not for nothing , but she did carry the baby for you . lulu : yes . we know that we owe maxie so much . but some issues came up . olivia : what ? the issues did n't involve maxie stabbing anything , did they ? dante : please stop . no . this vision she had of maxie stabbing you . lulu : god , no . olivia : okay , okay . i 'm just checking . i 'm just checking . i 'm just checking . dante : okay , look , we had some concerns because maxie was getting a little too attached to connie . lulu : yeah , but she 's getting help . she 's seeing a therapist . olivia : here , you . my little baby . poor maxie . my goodness . how could she not get attached to this little angel after she carried her for nine months ? lulu : well , believe me , we know it is impossible to not love connie . olivia : but you know what ? i think after she 's in therapy and her hormones get to normal , she 's gon na be okay . dante : yeah . olivia : right ? lulu : that 's true . olivia : and considering that she 's family , do you really want to cut her out of this baby 's life right now ? lulu : i do n't know . olivia : well , what about -- what about the godfather ? dante : well , it was gon na be morgan or michael , but after what you just told us , i do n't think it will go over too well if i pick one of them over the other . carly : i mean it , morgan . i want you to get your clothes , because we 're going home . [ telephone rings ] ava : i 'll get that . carly : oh , no , you wo n't , because i 'm not done with you . kiki : my mom 's not answering . she must not be in her room . michael : well , not to brag , but i am the son of the woman who owns this hotel . i can you get a key to ava 's room . kiki : i did not take you as someone to brag that you were the boss 's son . michael : well , i usually like to keep a low profile , but there are special occasions . i already used my clout to get us deluxe accommodations for the night . kiki : did you ? because i thought we just nodded off . michael : why do you think the security or the housekeeping did n't wake us up ? they probably recognized me and said , `` you know what ? i 'll leave them in peace . `` kiki : definitely recognized you . michael : and i am glad they did . have you ever slept in a more comfortable chair in your life ? kiki : no , i have n't . michael : i can get you a key to ava 's room is what i 'm trying to say . kiki : i ca n't wait to see this . [ chuckles ] michael : should we stop at my dad 's first , get your stuff ? kiki : you 'll go with me ? michael : of course i will . we 're in this together all the way . kiki : [ chuckles ] morgan : i 'm sorry . i 'm not going anywhere with mommy . i 'm a grown man . carly : you ca n't even drink . morgan : there you go again , undermining every choice that i make . okay , i do n't want to go to boarding school , and you sent me anyway . you did n't want me marrying kiki , and guess what . we 're not . and after you did everything you could do to sabotage our marriage , now you 're gon na give me a hard time that i 'm moving on ? carly : this is not moving on . morgan : you and the whole family lied to me . you all knew what was going on between kiki and michael . carly : what was going on between kiki and michael is that they were never related and you knew about it ! morgan : you , dad , michael -- u all stabbed me in the back . all of you . ava 's the only one i can trust . she 's the only one that 's been by my side the entire time . so i 'm not going anywhere with you , okay ? i 'm staying here with her ! carly : okay . great . stay . 'cause then you will have a front - row seat as security throws ava 's ass out onto the curb . i hope you enjoy it . ava : [ exhales ] are you okay ? morgan : i 'm fine . so what now ? olivia : goodbye , my little connie . i will see you later . i got to give you back to your parents 'cause they 've got a lot of work to do . lulu : you 're leaving ? olivia : yes . you guys got your work cut out for you if you 're gon na find godparents before this christening happens . olivia : dah ! dah ! i do n't want to hear it . i 'm not wasting any time getting this child introduced to the catholic church , okay ? okay . and forget about this , too , okay ? dante : you 're gon na take my paper ? olivia : i do n't want anymore cops and robbers for the rest of the week . dante : okay . thank you , mom . and you , too . alexis : look , i ca n't really hear anymore of this for reasons -- deniability . but i 'm glad that you have a name , because now you and sonny have someone to look out for . shawn : i 'm not sure about that . i mean , the name the enforcer gave me belongs to a dead man . alexis : what do you mean ? shawn : the guy said his boss was julian jerome . alexis : did you say julian jerome ? carlos : i 'm sorry . i thought i could let this go last night , but i woke up this morning , and it was killing me . sabrina : last night ? after you left patrick 's ? what happened ? carlos : ah , you know me . always been pretty clumsy . sabrina : you know what ? um , you 're gon na need a doctor to look at that . carlos : i do n't want a doctor . i want you . carly : this is miss jacks . i need you to put me through to terry immediately . there 's a situation i need him to handle personally . i do n't care if he 's with someone . i own the hotel , and i have a guest that i need out of here , and i want terry to handle it immediately . do you understand ? ava : i do n't want to come between you and your mother . morgan : my mom did that all by herself . she chose michael over me again . ava : well , you said some pretty intense things to her just now . morgan : i know . and i meant all of them . okay , you 're the only one that 's never left me , so i 'm not gon na leave you . i do n't think you want me to . ava : well , morgan ... morgan , you know , carly -- she 's sending security up right now to throw me out . you know that , right ? morgan , are you listening to me ? morgan : you want me to stop ? tell me to stop . michael : last chance . the offer to stay with me is still on the table . kiki : i love you , michael , but moving in with you is probably the only thing that could make this situation worse . [ lock beeps ] kiki : oh ! oh , my god !

[ clears throat ] i figured they 've been living off of hospital food for a very long time . maybe they would like something that does n't taste like ... socks . sam : socks ? ugh . jason : yeah . sam : old socks . jason : old socks . sam : that cafeteria food leaves much to be desired . i actually lived off of the vending machine . it was n't so bad . jason : wow . sam : what ? jason : [ chuckles ] sam : what are you doing here anyway ? jason : you know , i -- [ sighs ] i just kind of ... dropped in . it looks like a cool place . do you like it here ? sam : [ chuckles ] yeah , you could say that . i got married here . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you -- how could jason stop you from marrying sam ? i know he 'll always have a place in her heart , just like you 're always gon na care about robin , but you guys have moved on . patrick : yeah , that 's what i thought , which is why i asked her to marry me . elizabeth : you did ? ! [ gasps ] that 's great ! patrick : i did n't know i was even doing it until the words came out of my mouth . elizabeth : oh , my god . you got to tell me the story . patrick : [ sighs ] i was coming home , completely wiped out from my surgery with sonny , and i walked in the door , and i saw emma and danny and anna and sam sitting in the dark , surprising me for my birthday . emma was so excited . she was jumping up and down . elizabeth : oh , she loves her daddy . patrick : yeah , she does . i was completely shocked . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] patrick : and then right there in the middle of it was sam , you know ? surrounded by everybody i love , and it just kind of hit me how connected we were , us becoming a family . yeah , we opened some gifts , had some cake . anna took the kids home for a sleepover , and before i knew , i was asking sam to be my wife . elizabeth : and ... ? patrick : and ... she said no . elizabeth : wait , what ? no , why ? s - she loves you . you just said you were becoming a family . patrick : yeah , and that 's all great except my timing is terrible . it turns out it was the night before her wedding anniversary with jason . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do you got to say , carly ? carly : you know , enjoy your time with your little girl , okay ? you just got out of surgery . you need to rest . sonny : i 'm stronger every day , so just -- i can handle whatever you got to tell me . carly : ava 's out of jail . sonny : she made bail ? carly : worse . all charges against ava were dropped . [ scene_break ] paul : this partnership may have started off rocky , but i assure you , the benefits far outweigh any issue you might have with me . ava : you do n't get it . while i have no issue with the art of blackmail , i do n't like being the victim of it . paul : ah , blackmail is such a nasty term . i prefer the term `` mutually acceptable agreement `` . ava : call it whatever you want . i 'm still the one getting squeezed . paul : i thought you liked the idea of the da as your new best friend and silent partner . after all , if i had n't stolen the recording of your confession , you would n't be free . so , let 's talk business , shall we ? ava : fine . what did you mean when you said you wanted to make your first move ? paul : i 've arranged for a sit - down with the five families . ava : impressive . paul : i thought you would approve . here 's the important part -- you 'll be taking our place at the table . [ scene_break ] ric : i ca n't believe baldwin was able to get a court order for ava so fast . michael : yeah , at least our mother was able to stall ava with a 24-hour - notice clause , which gives you some time to fix this . ric : yeah , no , i will . we just ca n't do anything about it tonight , okay ? the courts are closed . morgan : okay , well , is n't there some favors you can call in ? knock on somebody 's door . i mean , someone 's got to be able to -- ric : morgan , i will be at the courthouse first thing in the morning to file a motion against the order , but right now , i need -- i need for you to get your mother out of sonny 's room . morgan : absolutely not . my mom needs to talk to my dad . ric : this discussion ca n't wait . morgan : well , nothing 's more important than avery , so . ric : i need to speak to sonny , okay ? it 's time - sensitive . that 's all i can tell you . michael : whatever you have to say to our dad , you can say to us . ric : it 's about who shot your father . [ scene_break ] alexis : well , i get the impression that because paul did something that was wrong , he wants to be above reproach as the da . he told me that he wants to set a good impression for his son . julian : well , now , that , i can definitely empathize with . alexis : and he was open to the suggestion that you were framed . julian : that 's good , but that does n't mean i 'm safe . i mean , even the esteemed mr. hornsby ca n't keep sonny 's gun - toting hyperactive heirs from gunning for me . alexis : well , hopefully sonny and his family are gon na realize that they were wrong about you and find out who the real shooter was . julian : i hope you 're right . [ scene_break ] morgan : it was julian , right ? he 's the one who -- michael : whoa , whoa , whoa . ric : before you go jumping to conclusions , no . i do not have any new information about the shooter . michael : okay , then why 's it so important that you speak to our father ? ric : it 's a private conversation between me and sonny , meaning one that does not involve the two of you . morgan : you know what , let me tell you something , ric . let me tell you something . you need to tell us what 's going on , or i can have milo here throw your ass out on the street . which one would you like ? ric : michael ? michael : i agree with my brother here , so you need to tell us what 's going on , or you do n't speak to our father . ric : i spoke to a mr. tucci . he 's a neutral mediator for the five families . michael : what 'd he want ? ric : tucci wants a sit - down , and he 's made it very clear -- he 's gon na demand answers about who shot sonny . [ scene_break ] ava : a sit - down ? tonight ? paul : it 's time to get this show on the road . ava : i 'll gladly take my place as head of the jerome family . but not now . paul : this is n't open for discussion . you will be at that meeting . ava : my circumstances have changed in the last 24 hours . paul : enlighten me . ava : my attorney obtained a court order for me to be with my daughter . avery 's coming home tomorrow . paul : oh , congratulations . i know all too well the feelings of being separated from the child you love . ava : then you understand my problem . if i go public as head of the jerome organization , then sonny will use that against me in a custody fight . paul : well , is n't it fortunate that you are well acquainted with the da ? i can use my influence to make sure that your daughter goes home with you . ava : i do n't see how that 'll happen if i 'm leading a mob syndicate . paul : oh , it 's very simple , really . sonny 's in the same position as you , which i think will make for a very interesting custody battle . in any event , i need you at that meeting . ava : why ? sonny is still in the icu . it 's not like he 'll be able to attend . paul : well , what a shame . that puts him at a disadvantage , wo n't it ? [ scene_break ] sonny : ava killed connie , and now the charges are dropped . how the hell did that happen ? carly : i need you to calm down , okay ? sonny : okay , but the conviction was supposed to be a slam dunk ! ric was supposed to send her back to pentonville . carly : ric lost the recording . sonny : what ? ! carly : and then he lost his job . [ avery babbles ] sonny : okay , baby . okay , baby . okay . [ scene_break ] ric : i felt the most appropriate place to meet would be somewhere in sonny 's territory . tucci agreed . michael : where ? ric : pozzulo 's . i 've already spoken to max regarding security . but i need to speak to sonny to assure him that i am going to be the one to represent the family at this meeting . morgan : hold on . hold on . you 're gon na go ? [ scene_break ] patrick : as much as i wish sam had accepted my proposal , i know that it was n't really fair for me to spring it on her like that . elizabeth : but you guys are still together , right ? just because she said no does n't mean it 's over -- patrick : yeah , no , we 're still together , and she swears that it 's still an open question . she just could n't commit to me on a day that meant so much to her and jason . elizabeth : but i see you guys together . you 're totally in love . it was just bad timing , like you said . patrick : that 's what she says , yeah . elizabeth : you believe her , do n't you ? patrick : i believe sam believes what she 's saying is true ... but i think there 's more to it . [ scene_break ] jason : you and , um ... jason got married in a chinese restaurant ? do you -- you really mean that you had the reception here , right ? sam : no . no , no . actually , we got married right here in this garden . jason : wow . sam : it was really spontaneous . jason : yeah . you did n't want a church wedding , or -- sam : no . i mean , originally , yeah . i was supposed to get married at the queen of angels . it 's the biggest church in town . you 'll soon figure that out . and i was supposed to wear a really pretty dress and say my vows in front of all of my friends and family . jason : mm - hmm . sam : but then the wedding just sort of took on a life of its own . it became all about the flowers and ... the catering and the seating charts and the marriage , you know , actually vowing to be together , was just an excuse to have a party . you have officially been warned . it can happen to you . [ chuckles ] jason : thank you . duly noted , got it . sam : [ laughs ] yeah , jason was n't really much of a ... social person . he did n't like big events , so the night before the wedding ... um , we wanted to just clear our heads , so we got on the back of his bike and went for a ride . and we wound up here . [ jason 's flashback ] [ engine turns over ] jason : coming ? sam : try and stop me . jason : all right . sam : jake . you okay ? jason : yeah . uh ... yeah , sorry . that was weird . [ clears throat ] i was -- [ chuckles ] i was just thinking about , uh , when you said that jason took you off on his motorcycle before your wedding -- you know how i get those flashes sometimes that feel like memories ? sam : yeah . jason : well , i had one . sam : okay , well , what did you remember ? jason : i remember you being on the back on my motorcycle . yeah , right ? sorry . um , i 'm sure it was just that time i took you home from the garage when your car broke down , right ? sam : yeah , yes . that -- yeah . i remember that night . it 's -- it 's the night i moved in with patrick . jason : that is right . sam : mm - hmm . jason : that was a big day for you . sam : very . very , very , very big day . jason : mm - hmm . so , uh , that went well ? sam : no regrets moving in with patrick ? no regrets , nope . jason : [ clears throat ] that 's good . that 's good . sam : patrick proposed to me last night . jason : okay , how 'd that go ? sam : i turned him down . it did n't feel right , in the moment . jason : okay . why ? sam : [ sighs ] that wedding that i just told you about ? jason : mm - hmm . sam : it was exactly four years ago today . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so your proposal was ill - timed , but she did n't turn you down completely . what else do you think is going on ? patrick : eh . there 's a part of me that -- the paranoid part -- that thinks that she 's using the anniversary to just , you know , give me an excuse not to move on with me . elizabeth : no , no , no , no , no , no . sam does n't operate like that . she 's not one to hold back what she 's really feeling . patrick : but what if -- you know , what if , deep down , she feels that we wo n't compare to what she had with jason ? elizabeth : well , by that logic , she 'd be worried about your relationship with robin , but she 's not , because she loves you . patrick : but she does . she does . but , elizabeth , she 's still in love with jason . so , what does that mean ? maybe it 's true . maybe -- i do n't know , maybe we 're not meant to be together . elizabeth : do n't say that . that 's not true . [ scene_break ] michael : you 're going to the sit - down ? ric : well , the corinthos family has to be represented . otherwise , the other families are gon na take it as a sign of weakness . they 'll take the opportunity , and they 'll swoop in like vultures , and they 'll tear apart the territory . michael : you 're not hearing me , ric . why should you represent the family ? ric : well , over the last few months , i 've worked very closely with sonny -- not only as his attorney , but as his consigliere . morgan : you know what ? yeah , that was before you let the guy who ambushed him out of lockup , ric , okay ? ric : can we keep focused on the matter at hand , please ? now , my expertise lends itself to the current situation . i know the players , i know how sonny feels on all the issues . i 'm not just going there to represent the family , i 'm going there to make sure that they know that we are as strong as ever . morgan : oh , is that the game , ric ? because i think you not only want the seat at the table , you want his business , too . ric : oh , morgan , that 's absurd . michael : you know what -- are you going to deny that you 've sabotaged my father in the past ? ric : that was in the past , okay ? sonny and i have long since made peace . michael : you 're missing the point here , ric . you 're not going to that sit- down . your sole job is protecting avery . you 're going to do everything you can to keep our little sister away from ava . [ scene_break ] sonny : start from the beginning . carly : okay , there was a pre - trial hearing , and when it came time to submit ava 's confession into evidence , it was gone -- completely gone . sonny : how the hell -- carly : so the judge had no choice but to drop the charges . sonny : how could ric let this happen ? i mean ... connie was a good woman . she did n't deserve to die an ugly death , and now no one 's gon na pay -- carly : hey , stop , stop , stop . ava 's case was dismissed without prejudice , okay ? so , if that recording shows up , they can reinstate the charges . sonny : i should fire ric . carly : no . [ laughs ] normally , i would agree with you , but right now , we need ric . sonny : why ? what are you talking about ? carly : [ sighs ] because , um ... sonny : what ? carly : ava 's coming for avery . [ avery babbles ] [ scene_break ] paul : since sonny 's unable to attend the sit - down , there 'll be no one there to express his concerns . ava : you think it 'll be that simple ? paul : absolutely . without any representation from the corinthos organization , you 'll take command at that table without any pushback . you 'll send a clear signal with your presence -- the jerome organization is alive and thriving . ava : i know sonny . there 's no way in hell he 'd let a sit - down like that happen without somebody there to represent him . paul : well , we 'll just have to see about that . ava : yeah , we will . so , what 's on the agenda ? paul : the heads of the families want answers about sonny 's shooting , and you 're going to provide it for them . [ scene_break ] morgan : [ laughs ] there is no way in hell that you 're going to go to that meeting and speak for my father . ric : well , somebody 's got to represent sonny 's interest , okay ? somebody who , ideally , has close ties with him , somebody who can speak with authority . so if not me , morgan , michael , who ? morgan : well ... i 'm his son . i 'll go . ric : you 're joking right ? morgan : no , i 'm not joking . you said the representative has to be close to dad . who 's closer than me ? ric : you 're a kid , morgan , okay ? morgan : do n't call me a kid , ric , okay ! michael : stop , stop , stop . ric : look , the two of you need to be focusing on supporting your mother . i 'll handle the meeting . michael : how many times do i have to tell you this ? look , we have 24 hours to block ava , and the clock is ticking . you focus on keeping avery home with us , and me and morgan -- we 'll figure out what to do about the meeting . ric : you know what ? michael , this meeting was n't just called to try to get more answers about the shooting . the meeting was called , because the five families want to make sure that the corinthos organization is intact . they need to see that the family is strong . michael : and they will . ric : not with some hotheaded kid as our representative . morgan : i 'm not gon na tell you again , dude . do n't call me a kid , you piece of crap . ric : thank you for illustrating my point ! now you send him into a sit - down and let him throw a temper tantrum ? you can kiss this family goodbye , because the dogs are gon na circle him before he leaves the damn building . michael : this discussion is over , okay ? look , you need to focus on avery 's custody . you bribe whoever you have to bribe , you call in favors , you get that court order vacated . when ava shows up here tomorrow to get our little sister , i want my father listed as the sole custodial parent , and i want my mother listed as her legal guardian . ric : oh , you do n't ask a lot , do you ? michael : just get to work . ric : [ scoffs ] all right . i 'll be at the courthouse first thing in the morning . i 'll call you with updates as soon as i can . god help you if you screw this up . morgan : [ scoffs ] mm . michael , who the hell does he think he is ? michael : look , he 's a son of a bitch , but he 's the lawyer on record for avery 's custody , so he needs to handle this . morgan : okay . all right , well , you know what ? okay . at least that 'll keep him away from the meeting , so that 's fine . michael : you 're not going to the meeting , either . morgan : the hell i 'm not going to the meeting . i 'm dad 's son . i have his name . michael : dad does n't want you anywhere near the business . that 's why he sent me after you . he wants your hands clean . morgan : you know what ? all i 'm going to do is i 'm going to the meeting , i 'm gon na show them that the family 's still in control , maybe get some answers . i 'm not going there to kill anyone . michael : you 're not going , period . morgan : [ scoffs , laughs ] michael , michael , this is so -- this is so typical of you . big brother , you make all the decisions , does n't care about anyone else 's opinion , right ? michael : i heard your opinion . you 're still not going . morgan : i can handle it . like you handled things before . michael : look , one wrong word , and you 'll fly off the handle . we ca n't risk that at the sit - down . morgan : this is not your decision . michael , it 's not . michael : of course , it is . yes , it is my decision . look , who has been dealing with max and all the guards after dad was shot ? who arranged for security ? who went after you when you almost killed julian ? look , dad 's people -- they listen to me , they respect me . morgan : okay . what are you saying ? what are you saying ? they do n't respect me ? michael : no , i 'm saying you 're too volatile . too many things could go wrong . morgan : screw you . michael : i 'm not trying to hurt you , okay , morgan ? i 'm not trying to hurt you here . this is business . dad has to be represented by family . ric ca n't go , you ca n't go , dante ca n't go , obviously . that leaves me . [ scene_break ] ava : you want me to name sonny 's shooter . paul : among other things , yes . ava : well , that ought to be an interesting conversation , considering you told me you 're the one responsible . paul : indeed . ava : that 's what you want me to tell the five families ? paul : [ chuckles ] not if you value your freedom . come now . let 's be practical . ava : okay . who shall i say shot sonny ? you certainly do n't expect me to take the credit . [ scene_break ] sonny : ava 's not taking my daughter . carly : we may not have a choice , sonny . sonny : what are you talking about ? carly : as soon as ava got out of jail , she went to file for legal custody of avery . she was here and ready to take her . sonny : no . carly : yeah , and she had this . sonny : what the hell is this ? carly : it establishes ava as avery 's mother , and it says that we can not unreasonably prevent her from taking avery while permanent custody is being established . she only needs to give us a 24-hour notice , and she can take her . sonny : how can any judge -- how can anyone ... carly : come here , baby . sonny : ... give ava access to this little girl ? carly : it 's insane . it is , okay ? but ... this document says that ava 's coming for avery in the morning . sonny : [ strained ] i 'll see her in hell first ! [ scene_break ] ava : there is no way in hell i 'm claiming i shot sonny . i wo n't last five minutes in that meeting . paul : now , that would be a tragic waste to a very valuable asset . ava : then who do you want me to name ? paul : [ chuckles ] do i have to spell it out for you ? ava : are you talking about julian ? [ scene_break ] alexis : so , all of a sudden , patrick just blurted out `` marry me `` ? julian : apparently . alexis : wow . that does n't sound like patrick . that 's not his style . julian : seriously . plus , does n't anyone ask for the father 's permission anymore ? alexis : why do they just ask for the father 's permission anyway ? they should ask for the mother 's permission . julian : there you go -- we were both slighted . alexis : yeah . well , anyway , i 'm glad that they 're both at this point in their relationship because our daughter is really happy . julian : clearly , yeah . it 's just that patrick 's timing was really , really bad . alexis : mm . how was he supposed to know that he proposed to her on the eve of her wedding anniversary to jason ? julian : mm . alexis : that was awkward . julian : mm - hmm . alexis : i mean , it 's not like it would come up in a conversation frequently . julian : no , no , probably not . alexis : are they okay ? julian : yeah , yeah . sam did say that `` no `` was n't her final answer . alexis : good ! good . yeah . i hope he asks again . julian : mm . alexis : you know , 'cause they 're good together . they really are -- i like them together . you know , and they 've blended their families so nicely . that 's not an easy thing to do . julian : mnh - mnh . no , i just hope that -- i just hope that sam can move past her grief over jason . that would be helpful . alexis : well , let 's not go overboard . i do n't think anyone is gon na replace jason in her heart . julian : yeah , i never met the man , but let 's be honest . the man was an enforcer . he was more loyal to the mob than he was to our daughter . i mean , patrick is a vastly better option . alexis : [ laughs ] oh , look who 's talking . do n't you think you 're being a little hypocritical ? julian : okay , yes , i freely admit to being hypocritical when it comes to our daughter 's safety . i just think that being with a surgeon , a respectable surgeon , is a far better choice than being in this crazy ... violent ... [ sighs ] business . alexis : mm - hmm . julian : all right . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : patrick , you and sam do have a future together . i refuse to believe otherwise . patrick : yeah , but unfortunately , the only vote that counts is sam 's . elizabeth : you love each other , you want a family together . it 's time sam accepts the man who jason was is gone . patrick : i ... i know that . elizabeth : there 's no point in continuing to be in love with him . patrick : but sam has to process those feelings on her own , elizabeth . i ca n't do that for her . elizabeth : just -- [ sighs ] just do n't give up on her , okay ? patrick : i have moments of doubt , but i have no intention of giving up on her . i love sam . i love our family . elizabeth : and i know you guys are gon na make it . i just know it . patrick : i appreciate the support . elizabeth : that 's what friends are for . patrick : but i 'm a little surprised at your intensity about my relationship with sam . what 's that all about ? [ scene_break ] jason : four years ? sam : [ inhales deeply ] yeah . this is n't my first anniversary without jason , but today , i do n't know . something just felt different , and i was ... drawn here . jason : hmm . sam : oh . [ chuckles ] you remember these , do n't you ? jason : yes , i do . i was gon na say . i remember i was chained to a desk being interrogated at the time , but i do remember . you know , you saw me through hell that night . sam : i 've ... yeah , we have come a long way . jason : we have . so , is there any particular reason why you brought your figurines out to the place where you were married ? sam : i do n't know . i thought that ... somehow , some way , i could come full circle with jason and ... find a way to let him go . jason : is it working ? sam : when patrick asked me to marry him , all i can hear in my head was `` yes `` , but i just -- i - i could n't say the word . jason : wow . you love the man , right ? sam : yeah . of course . i do . of course , i love him . and i - i think ... part of what makes us work is w - we 've both been in love before . we both had somebody that we thought we were gon na spend the rest of our lives with . we both know what it 's like to grieve and move on . and we both realize that we are very lucky to have found love again . jason : okay , well , then patrick should understand why you 're struggling . sam : [ exhales deeply ] i do n't know . maybe it was just a really crazy idea to think i could come down here and have some sort of emotional closure . i just -- i did n't know what to do . i went up to do something to make it official , to actually cement in my heart that ... jason is gone and allow myself to actually move forward with patrick . jason : i hope i 'm not overstepping here . are you sure that 's what you want ? i mean , to hold on to somebody for four years ... maybe you need to listen to that , you know ? maybe you really do n't want to let them go . honestly , do you think that you want to keep jason alive in some way ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : okay , yes , i may be a little over - the - top . patrick : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : but you know how couples get . when they 're happy , they want everyone around them to be as happy as they are . patrick : very generous . elizabeth : sometimes the cheerleader in me just comes out . patrick : you 're a good cheerleader . elizabeth : thanks . patrick : i think it 's good to counteract my encroaching paranoia and self- doubt . elizabeth : we 're all guilty of it . but i 'm here for you to talk to anytime . patrick : [ sighs ] you know , when i thought i lost robin the way that sam lost jason , i struggled . i struggled to let her go . you know , you meet somebody that you think you can spend the rest of your life with , and you say those vows , you build a life together . and then when they 're gone , you -- the only way to move on is to accept that they 're gone , and that 's the only way to have a place in your heart to love somebody else . i know that . i understand that . i know what sam 's going through , but you know what ? sam has to do this on her own . i ca n't do it for her .

while sonny is still recovering , carly knows she must inform him of the disturbing news that not only is ava acquitted of the murder charges due to the flash drive with her recorded confession disappearing from the da 's office . she 's gotten a court order to take baby avery home with her in 24 hours after serving them the notice . they know they ca n't let that happen . ric informs michael and morgan that there 's going to be a cartel meeting and `` somebody `` has to represent sonny 's interests and hopefully find out who got him shot . all three of them argue about each wanting only himself to attend on behalf of sonny . but michael determines that it must be him . he attends . also , before the meeting , ava meets privately with paul and he tells her he needs her to inform the members that she shot sonny although they both know that he did . if she refuses , her only other option is to help him falsely accuse and convict her brother and , in turn probably get julian shot . she agrees to attend although paul realizes he really can not assume to know what she will do what he wants or not and he gets on the phone to warn his `` contact `` of that about ava . meanwhile , alexis seems confident that paul can be trusted to not allow julian to be thrown under the bus and do the right thing for him . little does she know .

[ alexis sighs ] alexis : who threatened who first this time ? nikolas : oh , my -- do you really need to keep asking that question ? let me go through the list with you once again -- shot robin , poisoned me , held a roomful of people hostage ! if that 's not threat enough , then i do n't know what is ! and if you continue to defend him , then i 'll throw you the hell out of here , too ! alexis : you invited us here because you thought your cousins would be safer . i volunteered to leave yesterday , you said , `` no , do n't , stay . `` so today you want us to leave again ? nikolas : did -- did you or did you not just defend jerry in this house ? alexis : i stopped you from attacking him so i did n't have to defend you on felony assault charges . nikolas : look , i 'm not forcing you and your daughters to leave here , but i am telling you i will not tolerate jerry jacks inside my house . alexis : but if i stay , do i have to tolerate you abusing me and throwing glassware at my head ? nikolas : oh , do -- do i really have to apologize yet again for `` not `` throwing a glass at you ? alexis : just like you did n't throw the first punch at jerry ? alfred : i really did witness everything . nikolas : alfred , it 's fine . it 's okay , you can go . i 'll have my limits , and i expect people to respect those limits . now , you and your girls are my family , i love you very much , and i want you all safe . but i do n't care if jerry is your client , your friend , hate i do not want him in this house . alexis : and that justifies a physical attack ? nikolas : yeah . alexis : what happens if he does come back here ? you going to kill him ? [ scene_break ] emily : nikolas hates not being able to help his brother , he hates feeling helpless , it makes him so angry , elizabeth . it 's obviously a cassadine gene . elizabeth : thanks . he has been a little moody . emily : you know , when jerry had us all under his thumb , nikolas had to control all of that rage , all of that frustration . and now he 's just like a volcano -- he just blows up for no reason . elizabeth : has he hurt you ? emily : no , not at all , but i 'm worried . elizabeth : well , underneath all that moodiness is a true romantic . he loves you , and that 's going to get him through a lot . emily : yeah . well , you know , it 's important to have someone that you can count on . will you and the boys be okay at audrey 's ? elizabeth : i have a feeling lucky will be keeping an eye on us . and it 's only until i can find a place of my own to rent . i just hope i can find someplace homey like this for the sake of the boys . i know i 'm not going to be able to afford a place with a yard , but -- i do n't know -- maybe someplace near the park ? emily : elizabeth , if you want to buy a place , i have a trust fund that 's just waiting to be used . elizabeth : no , no , emily , stop . emily : i 'm serious , i can help you -- elizabeth : no , thank you -- thank you , thank you , but lucky and i are already fighting about alimony and child support . we both work really hard ; we make nearly the same amounts . why should he have to support me when i 'm the one who came into the marriage keeping secrets ? emily : i do n't blame you for wanting to be independent , but do n't punish yourself for a failed marriage . elizabeth : i just hope once the divorce is final , lucky and i can stop feeling guilty and be parents together . [ scene_break ] spinelli : stone cold would be most displeased if he knew you were in contact with the crazed one . lulu : he just sends me little text messages . spinelli : well -- more than one ? lulu : you 're getting kind of intrusive . spinelli : it 's only because the situation is most grievous and dire . johnny zacchara is the youngest progeny of a most dangerous clan . no , no , stone cold must know about this at once . lulu : no , no , spinelli , do n't -- spinelli : ah -- lulu : please ? spinelli : it 's -- oh -- it 's must unfair to work your -- your irresistible blond wiles , and i 'm not -- i 'm not made of steel . no , no , no , your safety 's at stake . i can not break my resolve . lulu : no , spinelli , what do you know about him except for his name and what people say about him ? do you know what people say about you ? spinelli : this is different . lulu : what 's happening between me and johnny is personal . spinelli : so was what happened between you and the simian one . lulu : okay , well , he 's a creep and you warned me and it 's done . spinelli , you ca n't trash every single guy that looks at me , and i ca n't live here if you 're not going to respect my boundaries . so unless you promise not to tell jason that johnny 's texting me , i 'm going to leave . spinelli : oh [ scene_break ] jason : hey . sonny : if this is n't good news , do n't want to hear it . jason : spinelli traced the text message . sonny : yeah ? jason : it was from your father 's cell phone . sonny : mike ? spinelli 's on drugs . jason : okay , hold on . spinelli called it `` piggybacking . `` i guess you attach a text message to somebody else 's cell so -- sonny : so it ca n't be traced . jason : right . sonny : yeah . jason : so anybody could 've hacked into mike 's phone . it could 've been the killer ; it could 've been somebody who just wants to mess with your head . sonny : okay , let 's just keep it simple . let 's -- let 's say that it was somebody in zacchara 's camp . jason : the son , johnny ? he seems to have a death wish . sonny : what about trevor , somebody with an enormous god complex ? [ scene_break ] trevor : i helped build your career , and what did i get back -- nothing . so i think i have every right to take it back . kate : you opened doors for me , trevor . i made my own life , and i can do it again . trevor : you think so ? well , your circle of friends has a very small attention span . kate : it 's the strangest thing how people underestimate me . as little as i knew you , you know me even less . trevor : kate , i thought you were a woman with much more refined taste than sonny corinthos . kate : i never suspected that you were a bully , and that you would hold a grudge against a 6-year - old boy . look at you -- all these years later , and it still drives you . trevor : hmm . diane : okay . now , when the judge questions you , speak simply and plainly . whether or not you were drugged is irrelevant at this point because you have priors . so , be humble and filled with remorse , and make it convincing . bailiff : all rise . the honorable judge parr presiding , case number 7624 , the state of new york vs. katherine howard . judge : court is in session , you may take your seats . mr. lansing , does the district attorney 's office have a recommendation in the matter before this court ? ric : yes , we do , your honor . this is ms. howard 's third offense of this nature , each one being more flagrant than the last . we recommend that the defendant receive a fine and the maximum jail sentence . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you do realize that jerry 's psychotic , do n't you ? alexis : it 's astonishing what people are capable of when they 're not in full control of their emotions . nikolas : oh , my god . obviously , your infatuation with this man is making you lose touch with reality . alexis : that 's insulting . nikolas : is it ? no , no , what 's insulting is my own aunt taking sides against me and defending someone who tried to poison me to death ! that 's insulting . so maybe you are more cassadine than you actually realized . alexis : that 's interesting because i was just wondering the same thing about you . i will once again tell jerry to stay away from wyndemere . in the meantime , nikolas , there 's something wrong with you , so you need to take a good , long look at your behavior . what jerry did to you was unjustifiable . but whatever his transgressions , you very clearly are not acting like yourself . nikolas : i 'm sorry ; you did hear alfred say that jerry threatened me in my own home , right ? alexis : i think that you lost control and threw the first punch , and i think that alfred covered for you . [ scene_break ] jax : thank you . jerry : what the hell is wrong with you ? jax : well , i could ask you the same -- you all right ? jerry : i cut myself shaving , okay ? why did you come back here with carly and her sons when you know it 's not safe ? jax : you know , jerry , there are ways to neutralize a threat without resorting to violence -- of course , you do n't know that . jerry : violence is the only language that anthony zacchara speaks . jax : no , power is mr. zacchara 's language . so i sent him a message -- to behave himself , or i will send the feds on him . jerry : you 're not serious , are you ? jax : trust me , you can hide a man in cement shoes at the bottom of the river , but you ca n't kill the i.r.s . whatever zacchara does from now on , he 's going to leave me and my family alone . jerry : well , you may have backed zacchara off for now , but believe me , he 'll come at you some other way . sonny : let me call you back . carly : i just got a call from the school . you had the boys picked up in the middle of class and taken back to your place . sonny : well , you had to know i 'd make new arrangements as soon as i found out that you 're back in the house with the boys where leticia was murdered . carly : that 's our home . our home , sonny . we ca n't hide from our lives , okay ? sonny : okay , the boys are safe with me at my house . that 's it , end of story . carly : diane was supposed to talk to you about this . sonny : diane ? carly : yes , diane . she was supposed to explain to you that the boys are fine with me , especially since jax came up with this plan -- sonny : forget jax and his plan , because he 's in way over his head . i 'm just trying to take care of this for -- for all of us . and please do not bother diane , because she is dealing with too much right now , especially with kate 's hearing today . carly : oh , i 'm sorry . so now kate howard is more important than our family ? [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i need you to find a way to prove that anthony zacchara or someone who works for him is responsible for that text message . spinelli : okay , it 's almost impossible -- jason : well , then work backwards -- hack into zacchara 's phone records or someone close to him . what ? spinelli : how -- how close ? jason : as close as you can -- his family , his work . spinelli : i -- jason : what is -- what is wrong with you right now ? spinelli : it 's just the jackal is incapable of complying with your request . look , i am cyber - samson stripped of my hacking savvy and web - wide strength . jason : by what ? spinelli : oh -- jason : okay , that -- i -- i need you to pay attention right now . carly is back with the boys . they could be zacchara 's next target . if zacchara sent that text , i need to know . spinelli : it is with deep and humble apologies that i have to inform you i am powerless to comply . court - martial me if you must , strip me of my -- my title and my stripes , but i -- i am prevented from -- from fulfilling my duties . jason : what -- what is the problem ? spinelli : well , your grasshopper feels he is cracking under the pressure , that i can not achieve the stone cold -- jason : we do not have time for this . if zacchara is after carly , i have to stop him . lulu : do n't get mad at spinelli . it 's because of me . [ lulu sighs ] lulu : i have something to tell you , and you 're not going to like it . [ scene_break ] kate : i have driven recklessly three times , and i thank god that no one was hurt . i can assure you that i have learned a valuable lesson about not driving under the influence of alcohol or emotion . it is with great humility that i remind the court that i am a public figure . i am in the fortunate position of being able to i people , and i would like to use that influence in the service of others . i ask for your consideration in this regard , and i leave it up to your wisdom , your honor . judge : that was very moving , ms. howard , and you do seem sincere . but i 'm afraid it 's too little too late . it is my responsibility to make sure that a public figure such as yourself is not above the law . preferential treatment is not justice in my court . that said , i 'm prepared to sentence you . [ scene_break ] sonny : you and the boys were supposed to be on the island out of harm 's way while i helped kate . you want to be mad at me out that , that 's up to you , but it 's your damn fault . carly : leticia 's dead . michael and morgan 's world has been rocked . we 're not going to stay hidden away so you can help your new friend , sonny . sonny : keeping my family safe is my priority -- you know that , carly . carly : we 're not married anymore , okay ? sonny : yeah . carly : i do n't go where i 'm put , and i am perfectly capable of keeping my boys protected without stashing them behind your gates . and jax has come up with a plan to keep zacchara away from our lives , okay ? sonny : nobody keeps zacchara away from anything , especially jax . carly : okay . sonny : now , you know what ? i 'm not going to trust the boys with jax . you might , i do n't think you should . and just like you love to point out all the time that you are not my wife anymore , the problem that we 're having right now is you do n't know what 's going on . and you do n't know what these people are capable of . [ scene_break ] lulu : johnny zacchara has been texting me since yesterday . we 've been sending each other messages , and i told spinelli if he told you , i would move out . jason : you do n't get to use spinelli 's feelings for you to manipulate him . spinelli : i -- i do n't think that the fair one was trying to -- lulu : no -- you know , it 's okay , it 's okay , i get it . but johnny just likes me . there 's no crime in that . [ lulu sighs ] jason : see if you can connect johnny zacchara to that text message sonny got . lulu : whoa -- what ? you think that johnny killed leticia ? [ scene_break ] alfred : you called for me , sir ? nikolas : yes . alfred , i put a lot of trust in you . correct ? alfred : yes , sir . nikolas : is that misplaced ? alfred : no , sir . nikolas : then i need you to be honest with me right now . you told alexis that i attacked mr. jacks because he threatened me . but that 's not how it happened , is it ? alfred : no , sir . nikolas : so you lied to cover for me ? why ? alfred : you 've been experiencing incidents of late . i sensed that you were unaware . nikolas : what kind of incidents ? alfred : what i would call `` disproportionate anger . `` i did n't want mr. jacks taking advantage of you . nikolas : but it was n't just this one time , was it , with mr. jacks ? do you think there 's something wrong with me ? [ scene_break ] lucky : how 's it going ? elizabeth : it 's going all right . emily 's taking a load over to gram 's right now . and i purposely left a brownie pan in the oven so you can make brownies when the boys come over . you can just buy that packaged stuff , throw it in a bowl . lucky : it wo n't be the same . elizabeth : they wo n't know the difference . lucky : i did n't expect you to be done so soon . elizabeth : well , there really is n't that much stuff . we did n't have that much in the apartment , and we did n't live here as a family for long . you were really good with cameron earlier . he 's going to be confused ; i hope you get to spend a lot of time with him . i was hoping that i could keep a set of keys , if that 's okay with you . lucky : no . elizabeth : what ? lucky : do n't do this . do n't go . [ next_on ] judge : i do not see the maximum sentence as an unreasonable request . spinelli : lulu 's in serious danger . jason : lulu 's not the only one . carly : i have a different life now . sonny : if anything happened to you , i could n't take it .

[ scene_break ] maxie : constanza louise falconeri from bensonhurst ? spinelli : it appears irrefutable . constanza louise had her name legally changed to katherine hardwicke howard at the age of 18 . maxie : kate 's not some classy ice queen from connecticut , she 's just some italian girl from bensonhurst . she 's a fraud , and i believed her . i bought her whole high and mighty act completely . spinelli : okay , wait . constanza louise , now legally know as katherine hardwicke howard , graduated from princeton with honors and accepted an entry level position at `` couture `` magazine . it appears her success is authentic , even if her name is not . maxie : she 's just a big phony . spinelli : okay , if the fraudulent fashionista wanted to keep her former identity a secret , then why would she invite her cousin to the nuptials ? maxie : kate did n't . sonny did . oh , this is not going to be good . spinelli : okay , maximista appears to be overreacting somewhat . the fact that she was born with a different name does n't -- does n't change who she is . i mean , after all , the jackal was n't always the jackal . and , you know , some people might find it admirable that constanza louise was able to remake herself into the kate howard she wanted to be . maxie : yeah , of course kate has a great sense of style , but she has no right to be an elitist snob . and once people get a good look at olivia , she 'll be outed as a fake and a social climber . that 's going to be awful . spinelli : it 's very generous for maximista to be so concerned about the fashionista 's future . maxie : i mean awful for me . this cousin from bensonhurst is going to make kate look like a joke . she 's going to crash and burn and take my fashion career with her .

[ scene_break ] mike : hey . you 're looking good . sonny : thanks . mike : any nerves ? sonny : uh , i was at home . i was looking at pictures of my kids , and i saw a picture of michael . and for a second , i thought , you know , is it wrong ? to be this happy after what happened to my son ? but i know michael would want this for me . we should all be happy for our parents . i want that for you , mike . mike : you know , a lot of water is floating under a lot of bridges for you and i to get to this point . sonny : i guess , sometimes you have to be a dad to recognize how imperfect fathers can be . i 'm really glad you 're standing up for me . mike : and i 'm really glad you asked . sonny : ooh , boy . [ scene_break ] olivia : all the falconeri brides wear nonna 's necklace . kate : yes , it 's a lovely tradition . and if i had the slightest inkling that you or the necklace would have been here , i could have designed my entire gown around it . maha chang designed this dress , especially for me . and the necklace definitely clashes with it . olivia : so , let it clash . connie , it 's a family heirloom . kate : it 's very naive of you . olivia : connie , it 's a freaking dress . kate : yeah , well , see , the fact that you say that just proves that you would never understand any of the choices that i 've made . olivia : i understand that you 're spitting on our grandmother 's grave . kate : oh , that 's lovely . that 's lovely . just go ahead and attack me , that 's another falconeri tradition . olivia : you know what ; i do n't know why i expected this to be any different . because this is classic , classic connie . you 're going to pick a stupid dress over your own family . kate : that stupid dress symbolizes everything that i 've accomplished . it 's not like a woman like you would understand that . olivia : like me ? like me . you have no idea who i am . kate : yeah , exactly . exactly . and you have no idea who i am . i do n't buy my dresses at the mall , olivia . i call my friends and have them specifically design a dress especially for me . that is my life now . that is the life that i made for myself , and i am not going to apologize for it . olivia : how can you stand to be so selfish ? kate : it 's my wedding day . i am the bride . i get to be selfish , and i can wear whatever dress i want . olivia : you know what ? you 're right . and i 'm sure it 's going to be fabulous . and beautiful and cold and shallow without a soul . just like you . [ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli , we 're going to be late . i was having a bad hair day . spinelli : the jackal finds that concept -- your hair looks pretty . maxie : it 's all product , and some feathers . anyway , i was thinking , maybe kate came to her senses and sent olivia back to bensonhurst where she belongs . or she did n't . god , i really do n't want kate to be exposed and humiliated at her own wedding . i need you . spinelli : you do ? maxie : yeah . i need you to help me fix this olivia problem . spinelli : oh , yeah . i 'm sorry , i apologize , i was just dazzled by the sheer beauty that stands before me . maxie : oh . do you like it ? federico made it for me . is n't he a genius ? i ca n't wait for you to meet him . spinelli : oh , is this federico going to be in attendance this evening ? maxie : of course not , silly . if he were in town , he 'd be my date . but as soon as he realized he could n't make it , he sent me this . the fashion gods have blessed me once again . kind of makes me happy i 'm not a maid of honor . i mean , the dress is really pretty but it 's not really my cup -- spinelli , you ca n't let me get distracted . we have to take care of olivia before she outs kate howard as connie from the block . spinelli : maybe the glacial one is just intending to pass this olivia off as a poor relative . maxie : i met olivia . trust me . she 's not about to be passed off as anything . spinelli : well , then , maybe the future mrs. sir is ready to embrace her authentic self . maxie : that 's fine for kate , because she 's in love with sonny . but what about me ? oh , i know , why do n't you have jason get two of his thugs throw olivia in the back of a limo , and drive her off to bensonhurst before it 's too late ? spinelli : i do n't think stone cold would lend his protectors of the night to a plot to kidnap mr. sir 's wife 's cousin . maxie : okay , well we 're going to be on damage control the entire night . we have to stick with olivia and make sure that she does n't tell anyone that kate howard is really cousin connie from brooklyn .

[ chuckles ] lulu : why do n't you come in ? we ca n't really have this discussion in the doorway . maxie : what discussion ? lulu , did somebody take her ? 'cause i swear to god it was n't me . lulu : [ chuckling ] no one took her . dante took her for a walk . maxie : that 's a relief . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry for jumping to the worst possible conclusion . it 's just that , uh , georgie was kidnapped when she was a baby , which is kind of ridiculous . i do n't even know why i 'm bringing it up . i guess i 'm just nervous to be here after the mess that i made . lulu : it 's okay . maxie : you know how i get when i 'm nervous . i just sort of ramble , which is silly . it 's -- i think it 's great that dante took the baby for a walk . that 's very sweet . lulu : and practical . it 's helping to calm her colicky stomach . maxie : colic ? is she okay ? lulu : yeah , she 's fine . maxie : of course she is . i 'm doing it again -- the rambling and overreacting . god , have i always been this annoying ? lulu : you 're not annoying . i appreciate the concern , but despite the colic , she 's actually eating like a horse and growing right before our eyes . maxie : really ? that must be so amazing . she 's probably changing all the time . lulu : [ sighs ] it 's incredible just watching her get acclimated to the world . i could watch her for , literally , hours . [ chuckles ] it 's good that dante took her out , because i have to get ready . we are having connie christened today . maxie : already ? lulu : olivia insisted . maxie : oh , my god . is this her christening gown ? it 's precious . you have to take lots of pictures . i 'm sure she 's gon na look adorable . lulu : well , i think you should take your own pictures . i 'm really hoping that you 'll come to the christening . dante : yeah , she really is beautiful . spinelli : she is . it 's overwhelming . [ chuckles ] dante : yeah . i mean , i could use a little more sleep , but -- but it 's -- it 's pretty incredible . spinelli : you 're taking to fatherhood like a ... like a duck to water . dante : [ chuckles ] you know , back in my old neighborhood , i had buddies that had kids earlier than the rest of us , and suddenly they had no time to go grab a beer , but they had hours to sit and talk to you about their kids , about being a father . and they would go on and on and on , and you sit and listen and nod and pretend to be listening . i mean , they 'd be telling you really important things , like , life - altering stuff . but none of that hit me until now . i mean , you have a kid , and the way you see everything changes . you care more . you know ? like , you see everything in relation this -- this little person . [ chuckles ] spinelli : i can only imagine . dante : a walk is n't just a walk anymore . it 's daddy - daughter bonding time now . [ chuckles ] spinelli : um , hey , can i get you -- i bet you could use some caffeine . let me get you a coffee or a cronut or something . dante : uh , no . there is one thing i need , though . spinelli : uh , well , name it . dante : we need a godfather . carlos : i work for a man named derek wells . maybe you 've heard of him . he has a publishing company . patrick : i have . yeah . derek wells owns the local newspaper , among other things . carlos : that 's right . patrick : so , am i to assume that you got that chasing a story ? it looks like a little paper cut . carlos : [ chuckles ] no , it 's -- it 's not a paper cut . that 's funny , though . no , to answer your question , i 'm on the business side . i 'm not a reporter . so , what do you think , doc ? i need stitches or what ? patrick : i 'm a neurosurgeon . carlos : [ chuckling ] whoa ! wow . that 's nice . that 's impressive . all that time in school . [ exhales deeply ] see , me -- i could have never memorized all that science . but it was worth it , though , yeah ? i mean , you ' doing very well for yourself . you have a very lovely home , nice little life to go with it . good for you . patrick : all right , cut the crap . patrick : enough with the small talk . now , i know that you came to my house uninvited . i know that you kissed sabrina before she could actually stop you , and i know that you 're here to get her back . sabrina : patrick , it 's okay . carlos : no . no , sabrina . no , this is good . this is good . patrick here -- he 's just being honest . i can be honest , too . it 's no secret . i made it very clear to sabrina last night , and now i can make it very clear to you . my life has not been the same since i lost my sabrina . and i want her back . patrick : well , i 'm sure she told you that she 's unavailable because we 're together now . carlos : yeah . yeah , you 're right . she did tell me that . [ sighs ] but i happened to notice your left hand , doctor . if you 're so serious about my sabrina , why are you still wearing your wedding ring ? maxie : you want me to be at her christening , like , physically in attendance , in a church ? lulu : well , i think you should probably be in the church . i do n't think you could hang out in the parking lot all day ... especially if you 're gon na be connie 's godmother . spinelli : godfather ? forgive me , but is n't your dad kind of a godfather ? dante : yeah , not -- not that kind of godfather . the christening is today . we need someone to stand with us at the altar and ... spinelli : [ chuckles ] dante : ... you know , care about connie 's well - being and look after her as she gets older . spinelli : right . of course . that ... that kind of godfather . right . dante : i 'd ask one of my brothers , but i do n't think that 's a good idea right now . spinelli : what do you mean ? dante : i think picking one over the other would n't work out too well , 'cause morgan and michael are n't , uh , on the best of terms . kiki : [ shuddering ] morgan : yep . slept here with ava last night . well , `` slept `` would n't be the word . we really tore the place down , you know , did the mattress dance all night . ava : morgan . that 's enough . michael : what the hell are you doing ? ! kiki : [ sighs ] morgan : do i need to spell it out for you , mikey ? me and ava were having lots and lots of sex . kiki : you 're acting like what you 're saying is normal , when it 's completely disgusting ! morgan : oh , please . do n't act like you two were n't doing it all night last night . michael : me and kiki stayed up all night talking about you , how terrible we feel about all this . morgan : why do n't you admit it ? okay ? admit it . you and kiki were probably cackling all night about how i 'm out of the picture and you guys can live happily ever after now . michael : morgan , i am telling you , all we talked about is how responsible we feel that you got hurt . morgan : oh , you 're so full of it , all right ? i do n't want to hear another word about what saints you and kiki are , you backstabbing son of aitch ! kiki : morgan , stop ! ava : do n't get into it . please . can we all just calm down , talk about this like rational -- kiki : `` talk `` ? `` talk `` ? ! you want to talk ? i have nothing to say to you ... except this . [ panting ] carly : okay , this is ridiculous . you 're -- you 're telling me that , by playing arts and crafts with you , i 'm gon na unsee my half - naked teenage son with that bimbo from hell ? franco : no , what i think is that you need an outlet for your larger ugly emotions . carly : oh , you know what ? you know what that 's called ? it 's called counting to 10 , and , you know , i got to tell you , i 'm way past counting to 10 . franco : who the hell would ask you to count to 10 ? carly : jason ! yeah , jason used to tell me to count to 10 , and what he meant is he wanted me to look at everything and take a step back and just take a breath . but i know that if jason would have seen what i saw -- my son being sexually compromised by that freaking snake -- jason would give me a free pass on this . hell , he 'd put the gun in my hand . franco : well , i do n't know about that . i mean , he might kill her for you , and i got to say if jason were here to kill ava , that would be great , but sadly my twin is no longer with us , and since i do n't want you to have to live with having killed someone , we 're just gon na have to improvise . carly : what is this ? so , what are we doing ? franco : well , these are supplies because i 'm coming back to work . [ chuckles ] i 'm putting together a show . carly : freak show ? franco : yep . i 'm the bearded lady . an art show , silly . i got to make some money . i 'm broke . [ chuckles ] an artist who 's broke . you know the whole credit- card thing ? carly : yeah , the ones that do n't work ? yeah , i know . franco : yeah , well , it turns out that that 's not ava 's doing , after all -- that the families of the people that i victimized -- scratch that -- that my tumor victimized -- they 're freezing my assets and suing me in civil court , trying to bleed me dry . carly : oh , wow . good for them . franco : hmm . yeah . so , diane put together a show for me so i could make some money , you know , pay you back the money that i owe you . carly : okay , so , uh , the idea here is i watch you paint , and somehow that makes me feel better ? franco : [ chuckling ] oh , do n't be ridiculous . i 'm not the artist here . you are . carly : [ laughs ] franco : you are . carly : you 're serious ? franco : [ chuckling ] yes , i 'm serious . carly : no way . franco : yeah . carly : no , i ca n't even draw stick figures . franco : well , thank god . i do n't think anybody wants to see you drawing a stick figure . carly : [ scoffs ] franco : carly , art is an expression of the impulses that are born out of struggle and of personal conflict . if you release them , they lose their power . you are somehow free of them . you 're not overwhelmed by your feelings . and if you 're lucky , you make something beautiful . at the very least , you can make something interesting . carly : i do n't want to make something beautiful . i want to slaughter ava . franco : awesome . slaughter away . you slaughter the canvas . you see this canvas ? you picture the face . i mean , really see the face that you 're angry with , and you explode it with paint . franco : what are you doing ? why -- why did you do that ? why would you do that to me ? i 'm an innocent bystander . carly : you 're far from innocent , and you know you are . franco : it 's ava you 're mad at , right ? carly : yeah , i 'm furious at ava , but i 'm also furious at you , too , you know ? this whole mess is your fault . it is . ava 's only around because of you . you know that ? why could n't you have stayed gone , huh ? my entire family is in turmoil because of you -- you and ava , who you brought to town , and this daughter that turns out not to be yours , right ? and now it 's up to me . it 's up to me to fix it and to somehow put it all together and to figure out what i 'm gon na do about this woman who is trying to use my son . and you tell me ... [ scoffs ] ... you freaking tell me , `` paint a picture , `` and that 's gon na make me somehow feel ... better . morgan : whoa ! kiki , what are you doing ? kiki : i 'm trying to give my mom a small taste of the pain that she 's inflicted on me . michael : look , i hate to say it , but maybe ava 's right . let 's just -- kiki : no , stop ! she wanted me to talk to her , and i have a lot to say to her . i ca n't actually think of the words of how i feel ... but let 's just start with this -- how about , `` you 're the worst mother on the planet `` ? ava : oh , honey . i know i made a mistake . kiki : you shut up ! because you wanted me to talk , and now i 'm talking , okay ? let me talk . [ voice breaking ] i used to think that you were the coolest mom because you did n't care about bedtimes . you let me wander around new york city all by myself . you took me to get birth control when i was 15 . you let me drink wine at the house . my friends were so jealous of me because i had a mom who was gorgeous and successful . well , now the blinders are off , because my cool mom is n't so cool anymore . she is a liar and a user and a slut . ava : [ sharply ] kiki . kiki : `` kiki `` ? do n't `` kiki `` me , because now i know exactly what you 're capable of . ava : hey , listen . if you would just let me -- kiki : you lied to me my entire life -- my entire life -- about my father . you told me that he was dead . then you told me that he was a serial killer that you hated . then you told me that he was a serial killer that you loved . then , just as i started to care about him , the joke was on me , because it turned out that he was n't my father , after all . the guy that is my father is someone -- another one that you supposedly hate , except for when you 're making out with him in public ! let 's not even start on how you tried to get me to get the quartermaine millions , right ? and as if all that was n't enough , you turn around , and you sleep with my husband . morgan : kiki , hey ! you lost every right to complain about that , okay , when you left me for my brother . dante : yeah , there was a party last night , and i guess it came out that morgan knew the truth and married kiki under false pretenses . you can imagine the fallout . spinelli : filial discord . dante : yeah . yes . as bad as it gets . [ sighs ] spinelli : i can understand not wanting to exacerbate the situation by choosing one or the other , but between your cousins and -- i mean , you have a plethora of -- dante : spinelli , we -- we 'd like you to be connie 's godfather . spinelli : me ? dante : yeah . spinelli : why ? dante : well , you 're one of lulu 's closest friends . she loves you , and most importantly , she trusts you . and i 've been meaning to tell you how much i appreciated the fact that you were there for me that day in the o.r . when maxie was giving birth . i was -- i was a mess . spinelli : it was a challenging day . dante : hey , you , uh -- you helped get me through that . [ chuckles ] okay ? you helped me realize that i can do this -- be a father . and , you know , if something were to happen to me , i think you would be a good father to connie . maxie : you want me to be godmother to your baby ? lulu : who else 's baby would i want you to be godmother to ? maxie : right . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . it 's just ... you want me to be your daughter 's godmother . lulu : i always did . remember ? maxie : i know , but things change , and after everything that happened , i just thought you were gon na ban me from being around the baby for a while . so , um , are you sure about this ? patrick : i 'm a widower . i lost my wife a year and a half ago , not that it 's any of your business . carlos : i 'm sorry , doctor , but i have to disagree . it is my business , because sabrina and i were together for a very long time . we were as close as two people could be . we wanted a future together . and , okay , i know -- our culture -- maybe i could n't understand her ambition , and i made a lot of mistakes that i am truly sorry for . but that 's behind us now . i still want a future with her . in fact , i 'm willing to get married to her . i want to make a lifetime commitment . patrick : well , that 's not what she wants . carlos : you feel qualified to speak for her ? patrick : on this ? damn right . do you understand how presumptuous you 're being , parachuting into our life without even considering -- carlos : what i understand , doc , is you 're still wearing your wedding ring . so , it looks to me like you 're still pining for your dead wife , and sabrina ai n't nothing more to you than a glorified babysitter ... patrick : you son of a bitch . carlos : ... with benefits . sabrina : no , no , no , no . stop . carlos : she deserves better ! sabrina : stop ! carlos , you 're wrong . you were wrong to come into town and act like you own a piece of me . and you 're wrong to judge my relationship to patrick . you know nothing about it . carlos : well , what i know is this guy has a wedding picture to another woman smiling down on you . sabrina : look -- carlos : how much could he care about you ? sabrina : patrick was right . this is none of your business . i 'm not your girlfriend anymore . i 'm not even your friend . i 'm just someone you used to know . and as for your injury , it 's just a scratch . you do n't need stitches . you can just use a bandage . you can do that yourself . here . carlos : what if i get an infection ? sabrina : you 're not gon na get an infection . god , you were always such a hypochondriac . just put your shirt on and get out . carlos : okay , okay . [ sighs ] plenty of other hospitals . but do n't forget what i said . sabrina : trust me , it 's already forgotten . carlos : i just call it like i see it , chica . this man -- he wants you to think he 's serious , but he 's not . he 's still living in his past . i 'm the one who wants a future with you . spinelli : i 'm honored . uh ... i mean , this offer to be godfather of your daughter is ... clearly one i ca n't refuse ... but i 'm afraid i must . dante : why ? spinelli : well , it 's , uh -- i mean , it 's a grave responsibility , one which i 'm -- i 'm not equipped to meet . dante : what are you talking about ? you 're a good person . you 're a great friend . you 've been there to support lulu for a long time . spinelli : i appreciate your confidence , but , i mean , there 's an element of spiritual guidance required of the godfather . dante : yeah . spinelli : right ? and -- and which assumes some knowledge of these things , which i do not possess . and then i - i do n't repudiate religion . it 's just that i - i know nothing of the catholic faith , so ... dante : that 's what my mother is for , okay ? she knows all about catechism and sacraments and lives of the saints and all that stuff . spinelli : she 's an excellent resource , yes , but ... i have more than my share of failings . [ sighs ] dante : dude , we 're not asking you to be perfect here , okay ? just love our child and care for her and guide her if she needs it . spinelli : i would never wish to fail her . dante : that 's why we 're asking you , spinelli . lulu loves you . she already considers you part of our family , so you 're technically already part of the baby 's family . so , what do you say ? lulu : i know that things have been rocky between us for a while , and i know that i said i was still nervous about you being around the baby , but after our talk , i feel so much better . and i know that you 've been getting help . everybody has been telling me how hard you 've been trying to adjust and accept that the baby you gave birth to is really mine and dante 's . maxie : `` everybody `` ? lulu : yeah . mac , anna . it sounds like you 're making great progress . maxie : i 'm going to therapy every day . i just came from there , actually . lulu : [ sighs ] i just wish this had n't been so hard for you . i never wanted you to suffer . maxie : i know . lulu : i thought you were gon na have to deal with , like , a few stretch marks or something . maxie : you do n't have to worry about me . i 'm gon na be fine . i know that connie is your daughter . i 've made that decision . lulu : what decision ? maxie : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm just very clear on that . that 's what i mean . lulu : [ chuckles ] i 'm so glad . [ sighs ] okay . dante and i would be so happy if you would be the godmother . you gave her to us . okay , we want you to be an important part of her life . what do you say ? maxie : [ sighs ] michael : all right , look . i know -- i know kiki and i hurt you , all right ? and the whole situation is terrible . morgan : `` terrible `` ? yeah , it is terrible , mikey . it 's terrible that my big brother , who 's supposed to love me so much , just walked in and helped himself to the girl i love . michael : okay . i honestly tried to accept the situation , all right ? i tried to be friends with kiki . and i - i respected your marriage . morgan : you respected it ? when did you respect it ? michael : when i put aside my instincts that you were lying , and i made the choice to believe you . and kiki made that same choice . she wanted to do the right thing , but it was never -- it was never going to work . morgan : is that your excuse so you do n't have to feel bad about stealing my wife ? that it was never gon na work ? michael : you rushed kiki to marriage . you lied to her . you had to think that the truth would come out eventually . morgan : you 're right . i should have known . because dad knew , and of course he was gon na take sides with you , because everyone always does , mikey . all right ? all i ever hear is about how you 're so strong and how much you 've been through . so , what does that make kiki ? your reward ? because of all the stuff that dad and mom put you through , you deserve her more than i do ? michael : no . morgan : [ scoffs ] of course you 're not gon na admit it , mikey , because that would sound selfish , and we all know that you 're not selfish . i mean , you do n't have to be when everyone 's lining up to give you whatever the hell you want . it does n't matter if it belongs to me . michael : kiki does n't belong to you . morgan : ah . michael : she has free will . she can make her own choices . morgan : yeah , she chose you naturally , right ? because everyone always does . michael : okay , look , i know you 're hurting , and i 'm sorry about that , but , i mean , sleeping with kiki 's mom ? are you sure that -- that 's the answer ? morgan : [ scoffs ] you 're not -- you 're not seriously gon na sit here and preach to me , are you , after you just walked in and helped yourself to my wife ? kiki : he did n't help himself , morgan . i 'm not some credit card that he stole . morgan : no , you 're the only girl that agreed to love me till death do us part . except , oh , wait . you did n't . michael : look , morgan , has n't our family been torn apart enough ? i do n't know what ava 's intentions are , but i do know this -- her , all of it -- it 's all wrong for you , morgan . morgan : are you done ? are you done lecturing me ? because let me tell you something . ava is the only one who has n't betrayed me ... unlike the rest of my family -- you , mom , kiki , dad -- all of you . michael : nobody betrayed you , morgan ! you told a lie , and the truth came out ! that 's all . morgan : screw you , mikey . screw you . you do n't give a damn about me . michael : that 's not true . i love you , morgan , even when you 're wrong , like you are right now . morgan : you know what ? ava never thought i was wrong . in fact , ava was on my side from the get - go , unlike the rest of you . so , how about you take kiki , and you go run along , live happily ever after , and leave me and ava alone ? carly : you want to know why i 'm angry with you ? franco : yes , i do . i ... i think i have a right to know . carly : first , you terrorize my family , and then you make me feel sorry for you because of your tumor and your daughter that turns out not to be yours , and i ca n't help it . i 'm starting to feel something . and to make matters worse , you act like you care . and then we spend your birthday together , and for the first time , you know , it 's like you 're a person , a real person , and not , like , a serial killer person , but -- franco : for the first time , i feel like a real person . carly : do n't do that ! stop ! no . see , because the point is i was starting to trust you . i was , and i thought , `` maybe i 'm wrong to try and protect myself from this guy , because maybe there 's something real happening here . `` and then you sleep with that groupie . you bring a woman in here , you know ? franco : carly . [ chuckles ] carly . carly : let me tell you something . you know the funny thing -- and it 's not funny . my god . it 's really actually kind of sad . is that when i went into ava 's room ... i knew someone was there , and before i realized it was my teenage son , i thought it was you . i did . franco : you think that i would sleep with ava ? carly : you did sleep with her , right ? i mean , was n't she the first groupie you slept with , the first of many ? franco : there were not as many as you think . carly : it does n't matter . it does n't matter , really , does it ? it does n't matter at all about the woman who was here or the woman that you slept with because nothing is ever going to happen between us , ever , and then i 'm -- thank god that i know that now . franco : carly ... the woman that was in ... my hotel room -- she does n't mean anything to me . carly : [ scoffing ] oh , yeah . franco : she does n't . but you do . you do . carly : no . sabrina : patrick , i 'm so sorry . patrick : there 's nothing for you to be sorry about . sabrina : i 'm sorry that he came into town , and i 'm sorry that he 's here , and i 'm sorry he 's such a jerk . patrick : listen , this is not your fault . sabrina : [ sighs ] patrick : okay , none of this is your fault . sabrina : i 'm just so embarrassed by the things that he said . god . i ca n't believe i was ever involved with him . patrick : you do n't believe him , right ? i mean , you know that 's ridiculous . i am serious about you , and i do n't think of you as a glorified babysitter . you do n't believe that , right ? sabrina : no , no , of course not . i do n't believe a single word that he said . patrick : okay . sabrina : [ sighs ] spinelli : [ sighs ] you 've given me a lot to consider . dante : yeah , and i do n't mean to pressure you , but , uh , the christening 's today . i , uh , need an answer . lulu : as much as i want you to be connie 's godmother , if it 's too hard for you , you can just tell me . spinelli : i would be delighted to watch over ... your daughter as she grows . i can think of no greater honor . lulu : this was selfish of me to even ask . you have so much to deal with . maxie : no , no . it was n't selfish . [ sighs ] i 'm happy that you want me to be a part of connie 's life . so , yes . spinelli : you 've got yourself a godfather . maxie : you 've got yourself a godmother . [ both chuckle ] lulu : ah . dante : come here . [ chuckles ] thank you . spinelli : [ sighs ] michael : come on , kiki . we 'll find somewhere else for you to stay . kiki : good . i would n't want to be here if it was the last place on earth . mom , morgan ... i 'm done with you once and for all . okay ? ava : kiki ... please . i know this is very complicated , very difficult , but i 'm asking you -- do n't write me off like this . do n't do it . kiki : you did it . goodbye , ava . [ door slams ] carly : no , no , no . franco : yes . carly : i -- unh - unh . i ca n't . franco : okay , there 's -- there 's green . carly : [ sighs ] franco : there 's yellow . carly : [ muffled ] unh - unh . it 's not the paint . it 's not the paint . i ca n't do this with you . i ca n't make this mistake with you . franco : i think the mistake would be for you to leave . carly : [ sighs ] [ sighs ]

[ echoing ] keep this between us . michael : kiki ? hey . what are you doing out here ? kiki : i could n't sleep . i did n't want to wake you up . michael : something on your mind ?

[ scene_break ] jordan : so , what are you doing here ? you have a boo - boo ? shawn : i heard about the accident , and when you were n't at the police station , i figured i might find you here trying to find out how the victim 's doing . jordan : yeah , i feel terrible for the guy . shawn : well , that 's good of you , you know , considering you did n't hit him ... and ava did . [ scene_break ] julian : i think you 've got it backwards . i 'm your worst nightmare . kobe : you want to put that thing away ? i work for the boss . if you shoot me , he 'll be very upset -- even more upset than when he heard team corinthos wiped out most of your security force . i brought in a new crew . what ? no `` thank you `` ? you 're right -- actions speak louder than words , so why do n't you show me your gratitude by telling me where i can find your sister ? julian : well , i guess a simple `` thank you `` will have to do , because i have no idea where ava is . kobe : oh , i see . you 're gon na make me work for the answers . julian : well , you might find it more difficult to interrogate me than you think . even if you manage , which , um , is doubtful , you 're gon na come up empty . kobe : am i , now ? julian : well , listen , i ca n't give you any information i do n't have , and i do n't know where my sister is . kobe : you tried calling her ? julian : no answer . i even paid , uh , sonny a visit last night . he swears he does n't have her . kobe : the boss will not be happy . julian : hmm . you do n't have it figured out by now ? the boss is never happy . kobe : he 's been itching for a piece of ava ever since she failed to kill michael corinthos .

[ scene_break ] dante : look , all i can say is that someone at the department suspects luke of criminal activity . anna was concerned enough that she had me pursue it . tracy : is that why you were harassing me about luke ? dante : well , i would n't call it harassment , tracy . tracy : wanting him to get in touch with you before lulu was kidnapped ? dante : yes , yes . tracy : so , what exactly does anna think he 's been up to ? lulu : come on . dante , please . look , i know that you 're not supposed to talk about ongoing investigations , but this is my family . this is our family . dante : anna thinks luke could be the head of the jerome crime family .

[ scene_break ] sonny : did michael make it home okay ? jason : yeah , i think so . i offered him a ride , but , uh ... he wanted to be alone . sonny : well , i ca n't blame michael . sabrina died , and some son of a bitch took her life . and i tell you right now ... that person needs to pay . [ scene_break ] paul : i 'm so sorry . tracy : what are you sorry for ? paul : i killed her . tracy : what are you talking about ? paul : i - i mean it , tracy . i - i 'm the reason ... sabrina 's dead . tracy ... i said i killed her . tracy : i heard what you said . and forgive me , but you 're acting a little selfishly at the moment . i understand that you feel responsible , because you did n't catch the killer . it was a horrible tragedy . that little boy lost a mother . i lost a friend . and michael lost the woman that he wanted to marry . [ scene_break ] nelle : you know , i noticed sabrina was n't on social media . michael : uh [ sighs ] no , she was out of the country for several months , so ... when she got back , she -- she just had other -- other priorities . nelle : well , i thought it would be nice to set up a memorial page for her , know , where people , like friends and family , can go and post stuff and ... talk about how they had great times together . so , you know , your grandmother let me have all these pictures , and she let me set it up . here . people have already started to post . here . look . michael : [ chuckles ] thank you . this is very thoughtful . i appreciate all the trouble you went through . nelle : well , it may be thoughtful , but it does n't do anything to ease the actual grief , you know ? believe me , i 've -- i 've been there . [ scene_break ] jason : look , i know that michael 's hurting . and i know he wants this person caught . we all want him caught . sonny : i just do n't like sitting on my hands . you know that . jason : okay . you do n't like sitting on your hands . what are your options here ? you know , honestly . honestly , what are your options ? this is n't your world , man . it 's not like somebody from a rival family , you know . this is a serial killer . completely different realm . sonny : so what am i supposed to do ? leave it up to the cops ? look how well that worked out with julian . he 's never gon na pay . he 's walking around free . right ? he 's never gon na pay for ordering the hit on duke . and guess what . he 's coming after me . [ scene_break ] julian : what 's the matter , nina ? you do n't look so happy to see me . nina : you 're sitting in my chair , and you 're in my office . julian : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't realize you were so territorial . what is going on here , nina ? is there something you want to share with me here ? a little ... nina : give me that , please . julian : listen , i do n't need to see it . my baby - naming days are over . but i do have a question , though . does it have something to do with these dossiers of young , pregnant women that are all over your desk here ? nina : okay , listen , this is -- has nothing to do -- what are you doing here ? what do you want ? julian : ah , yes . i am on a mission . nina : i do n't have time to decode . what do you want ? julian : well , the mission to get back what 's rightfully mine . starting with this magazine that you 've been running in my absence , nina . nina : that 's what you 're worried about five minutes after getting out of jail ? julian : one of many things , yes . nina : okay . well , i was running this magazine way before you tried to kill your wife , allegedly . julian : yes , that 's right . i was exonerated . nina : you were exonerated . and let me tell you something -- i 'm very glad that those murder charges are n't hovering over the magazine anymore . you signed a legal document giving me full autonomy of the magazine . that has n't changed . julian : oh , no , no , no , no . i have no desire to break our agreement . nina : good . what do you want from me ? julian : i want you to clear my name . [ scene_break ] alexis : it 's always fun when your kids tell you how bad you look . sam : well , i 'm -- i 'm serious . have you looked in the mirror today ? alexis : see , now you 're starting to hurt my feelings . sam : mom , you 're in the same clothes as you were in yesterday , and i -- i know it -- you fell asleep on the couch , and i bet you just woke up , did n't you ? alexis : can you cut me some slack ? i had a rough day yesterday . i thought i was never gon na see your father again , and now he 's a free citizen . sam : i get that , mom , but this is n't the first time i 've seen you like this lately . alexis : okay . sam : okay ? you 're hungover . and this is becoming a pattern , and i 'm concerned . alexis : i 'm ... fine . sam : you 're fine ? alexis : i 'm fi -- sam : you had one , two -- two bottles of wine , started on your third . you are not fine . [ scene_break ] morgan : michael 's just ... he 's dealing with enough , you know ? sabrina was murdered . he had to give teddy to carlos ' brother . kiki : yeah . that shocks me . i mean , i guess i understand that this joe guy is teddy 's closest living relative , but ... he could 've fought for custody . morgan : yeah , i mean , michael was trying to avoid a custody fight , for teddy 's sake , you know ? so ... i know it 's killing him , and i just do n't want to add to his stress by getting in a fight at sabrina 's funeral . kiki : i think you made the right decision . especially because giving up teddy must have brought back everything michael went through with avery . morgan : yeah . not to mention me drugging him and making him seem unfit . kiki : oh . you mean when we drugged him ? because i was right there with you . [ sighs ] looking back , i ca n't believe that we could be so cruel . and wrong . i mean , thank god sabrina figured it out . morgan : yeah . i mean , it 's no -- no wonder he loved her . when we made everyone think the worst of michael , she still thought the best . [ cell phone beeping ] kiki : is that for your meds ? morgan : no , it 's for school . i have a paper due that i 'm even more behind with all this now . kiki : you know , you really should ask for an extension . morgan : mnh - mnh . not a good idea . i got this . trust me . kiki : i do . dillon : oh . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] paul : you do n't understand . sabrina was n't supposed to be hurt this way . tracy : no , she was not . i 've been extremely frustrated with you and the police for not catching the killer . in fact , i blamed you . i also blamed myself for backing monica when she wanted to leave the hospital open . monica blamed herself for not making the right choice , and michael blamed himself for allowing sabrina to go back to work . do n't you see ? we can do this endlessly , each one of us blaming ourselves . but the only person to blame is the monster who killed sabrina . [ scene_break ] sam : you missed nikolas ' funeral because you were hungover . you grabbed kristina 's arm in public -- alexis : oh , we 're gon na do the picture again ? sam : mom , you had a drink before you testified at julian 's trial . this is becoming a pattern . i 'm concerned . this is n't you . alexis : i -- you 're right . you 're right . it 's not me . not the old me . it 's the new me , sam , one that i never thought that i 'd have to be or live with . so if you could just back off just a wee bit and let me try to figure out how i 'm going to cope on my own with this series of life shocks ... [ sighs ] i overdid it last night , because i was in pain , and i was alone , and it made me feel better -- for a little bit , anyway . it 's temporary , all right ? it 'll change . sam : change how ? alexis : well , for one thing , um ... i have a reason to get up in the morning , 'cause i 'm about to start work again . [ scene_break ] nina : uh , a jury of your peers found you innocent . why do you need my seal of approval ? julian : well , see , um , `` not guilty `` does n't have the same ring as `` innocent `` in the court of public opinion . nina : what do i have to do with public opinion ? julian : nina , come on . let 's be honest here , huh ? come on . look . nina : oh , no way . julian : it 's a profile . nina . nina : in crimson ? julian : well , that 's the magazine you run , right ? beautifully , i might add . you are giving vanity fair a run for its money . look , just throw me on the cover . nina : on the cover ? oh , no , no . julian : look , `` founder and president of derek wells media dragged through the mud . `` and then you just -- i mean ... nina : you 're kidding me right now , right ? julian : nobody 's heard my side of the story , nina . i 'm offering you an exclusive . nina : oh , wow . big of you . thank you . julian : well , i think so . i just do n't understand how you do n't see this as a win - win . look , nina , you get to boost circulation , i finally get to defend myself . so what 's it gon na be ? nina : oh , um ... a hard pass . [ scene_break ] jason : so julian 's coming after you , huh ? sonny : eh , so he says . jason : this guy 's brilliant . i mean , he just got acquitted of murder yesterday . sonny : well , he must be feeling pretty good , 'cause i saw him and ava at the metro court , celebrating . jason : oh , carly must have loved that . sonny : it gets even worse . carly and i just finished seeing michael . julian rolls up , and he says , `` you better tell your son morgan to watch out , because he 's getting into trouble that he ca n't handle . `` jason : okay . so , clearly , he 's trying to provoke you . sonny : right . so i said to him , `` you threatening my son ? `` he says , `` and now i 'm coming after you . and your death will never be tied to me . you 're going down . `` jason : carly know about this ? sonny : she was right there . she heard the whole thing . jason : how 'd she react ? sonny : well , she thinks that julian 's bluffing . she wants me to leave it alone . jason : you gon na leave it alone ? [ scene_break ] kiki : well , it 's a good thing neither of us is carrying a cup of coffee . dillon : i should watch where i 'm going . kiki : not to sound critical , but , yeah , you should . [ both laugh ] dillon : i thought i saw morgan leaving . kiki : yeah . classes . he 's taking them very seriously . dillon : so , he did n't go to sabrina 's funeral ? kiki : um , no . he was concerned that teddy 's uncle might show up , and he wanted to avoid a fight . dillon : yeah , i heard there was a little confrontation at the house last night . kiki : oh . yeah . you and michael live in the same house . it 's so crazy when you think about it . michael 's your cousin and morgan 's half - brother . dillon : no one can say we 're not connected to each other . [ scene_break ] nelle : a memorial page is just a gesture , a way for people to reach out . it does n't do anything to ease the actual grief . michael : i appreciate you understanding . nelle : well ... i lost my best friend in high school . she was at a party and got a ride home from someone that had been drinking . [ chuckles ] one minute , we were hanging out , and the next ... she was dead . that 's why i did this for sabrina , you know ? 'cause i saw how much it helped my friend 's family when everyone stepped up to support them . is it okay that i 'm telling you about what happened to me ? michael : uh ... yeah . yeah , of course . is there more ? nelle : yeah , you know , that 's the part i wanted to get to and explain . we had all these pictures together , you know , from concerts and parties and stuff like that . and one day , i was feeling ready to look at them , so i went to her wall , and ... everything was gone . her parents had taken down her entire page . all of our memories , the silly little nothings ... everything that we shared , it was all over . and all of a sudden , it hit me again . [ breathes deeply ] i lost it for days , and i just -- i could n't stop crying . but , um ... michael : that must 've been -- that must 've been very hard for you . nelle : yeah . yeah , it was . that 's why , when i heard about sabrina , i realized that the last thing that you would be thinking about would be old photographs . michael : you did this for me ? nelle : yeah . you know , you ca n't appreciate it now , but one day , you 're gon na want to go and look back at all these old memories . you know ? i wanted to give you the opportunity to keep something that i never got . [ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina 's life is over , and that 's a tragedy . and it 's tempting to tell ourselves that if we 'd done this or that we could 've prevented it . but , paul , that 's not helping anyone , least of all sabrina and the other victims . paul : you 're right . sabrina was in the wrong place at the wrong time . tracy : i do n't think that i 've ... ever seen you like this . you 're usually so ... paul : obnoxious ? [ chuckling ] tracy : yes . and focused and unflappable . paul : this hits ... close to home . i - i - i need a few minutes . tracy : of course . [ scene_break ] sam : what is this ? alexis : it 's a list of law firms . sam : mom , you 've been suspended from practicing law anywhere for at least a year . alexis : right . not allowed to talk to clients , but i can certainly consult , and i 'll do it part - time . that 'll keep me occupied until i get my license back . i hope that helps you worry less . sam : okay . i , um -- i hope that all works out for you , but it does n't deal with your drinking . alexis : i made a mistake , all right ? i wo n't do it again . sam : okay . alexis : i 'll make a pact with you . since you ca n't drink while you 're pregnant , i will not drink with you . sam : are you serious ? alexis : yes , i 'm serious . it 'll be good for me ... sam : yes . alexis : ... it 'll give you some peace of mind , so i wo n't have anything to drink until the baby 's born . [ scene_break ] julian : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . do you -- would you mind running that by me again , please ? nina : sure . um ... no . i 'm not making you the next crimson cover girl , julian . julian : well , maybe i was n't clear . nina : oh , no , no . you were crystal clear . see , what you want to do is you want to use my magazine as a pr outreach for alexis and your children . you 're on the cover , you 're the poor , redeemed , misunderstood gangster . you 're alone , and you 're sad , so maybe they 'll start returning your calls , or they wo n't slam the door in your face when they see you -- possibly . i do n't know if it 'll work . in the meantime , my magazine loses all credibility . readers and advertisers go running away , screaming away , in droves . i 'm taking a pass . julian : [ chuckles ] well , you know , i was asking out of politeness . nina : i appreciate your show of decorum . julian : but now i 'm demanding . you see , nina , i own this magazine , and i 'm telling you to run the piece . nina : wow . well , then , maybe you should go to your lawyers and have them give you the definition of `` autonomy . `` this is my magazine , and i will run it how i see fit . i will not run a puff piece on a man who danced way past the line of domestic abuse . you see , our empowered female readers , it 's not really what they respond to . this is the end of the discussion , julian . julian : i urge you to play ball . or you will regret it . nina : are you threatening me ? julian : i sure am . [ scene_break ] sonny : there was a time when julian would n't have been an issue , 'cause you just would 've kind of handled the problem , if you know what i mean . jason : felt that coming . ca n't be involved . sonny : because he 's sam 's father ? jason : no , because i 'm not that guy anymore . sonny : yeah , i understand . i understand . jason : okay . look , you do n't need to make a move here . you could wait , see what happens . sonny : ca n't wait for him to come after me . i 'm gon na give him the momentum ? jason : you remember i worked for this man , right ? it was like five minutes , but still ... he talks a lot , makes a lot of threats , but he does n't carry out anything . actually , his boy carlos did all his dirty work . sonny : until he killed carlos . jason : yeah , he killed him . he did . he stabbed his friend in the back , and then he pulled a knife out on his wife . that 's the type of guy this guy is . he 's a coward . he 's too afraid of you to make a move . he 's not gon na do anything . sonny : you want me to bet my life on that ? jason : no , actually . i 'd like you to be smarter than he is . maybe not let him goad you into making a mistake that 's gon na backfire on you . sonny : so , i ca n't promise you how i 'm gon na handle this thing with julian . jason : sorry i ca n't help . sonny : yeah . well , so am i . hey . brick , listen . um , i need you to take care of something , all right ? yeah , i 'm gon na call you back . morgan . morgan : oh , hey , dad . what 's going on ? sonny : uh , you did n't go to the funeral . your mother and i were just wondering what 's going on . morgan : uh , yeah . i ran it by michael . he said it was fine . sonny : you working on something important ? morgan : yeah , a paper . i 'm already way behind on it . sonny : you could n't tell the professor that somebody -- there was a death in the family ? morgan : that 's a little bit of a stretch , you know ? plus , i want to prove myself . i do n't want to ask for favors , you know ? sonny : okay , listen to me . you -- you got a lot going on , right ? with family and your girlfriend and school and your job . morgan : okay . sonny : i just do n't want you to burn yourself out . morgan : look , i appreciate that you 're worrying about me . it means a lot . but there 's other people in the family right now that -- that need you to worry about them . i 'm the last one you should be worried about . [ scene_break ] kiki : i thought about going to the funeral , but sabrina and i were n't exactly close . and michael and i , we have some old , old stuff , so ... it could 've gotten weird . dillon : i doubt that . kiki : maybe you thought i was exaggerating when i told you about how morgan and i set up michael to look like an incompetent drunk , so he 'd lose custody of avery , about how we destroyed his reputation , and we made everyone doubt him . and , no , we did n't suddenly grow a conscience and confess . sabrina figured it out . so i 'm guessing that he did n't want to look up and see my face at her funeral when she 's the one who saved him from me . this -- this perfect kiki that you have in your mind , she does n't exist , okay ? dillon : perfect is boring as hell . and for all the parts that count ... you 're pretty close . you are crazy fun to be around . you 're an incredibly loyal friend . i know that you 're trying to keep your distance , but in my opinion ... i think michael would appreciate you reaching out to him . [ scene_break ] michael : thank you for telling me about your friend . nelle : yeah . you know , i 'm not telling you how to handle your grief , but as someone who 's experienced loss , it helps to share it with someone . you know , you may not be sure why , but ... it still helps . michael : when you were collecting photos ... did you go into the nursery ? nelle : no . why ? michael : well , there 's some photos of sabrina and teddy in there . i think they 'd look good on the memorial site . that way , when ... teddy 's older , he can visit it and see pictures of him and his mom . nelle : i 'll go get them . [ doorbell rings ] [ scene_break ] alexis : you do n't need to worry , all right ? you just take care of the baby . sam : okay . alexis : i know you love me , and i know all you want is what 's best for me . sam : yes , always . alexis : all right , now . hope you do n't mind if we reschedule , because i have to get cleaned up . i got to make some calls and get myself a job . sam : okay . good luck with that . alexis : thank you . sam : i mean it . alexis : be good . sam : okay . i will . thank you . [ door closes ] alexis : [ sighs ] idle hands and all that . alexis davis . i 'm following up on a referral from diane miller . diane miller referred me to the head of your hr department , but i thought you could -- yes , i 'm that alexis davis . what happened in court was a result of extreme stress . the position was filled ? you 're not hiring . the purpose of my call is for the consulting position that i was told was open . no . of course . i understand the optics matter . thanks for being honest with me . you 're the only ones who have been . bye .

[ scene_break ] julian : here 's the problem . you have as many skeletons in the closet as i do . nina : not quite . julian : well , enough that you should think twice about passing judgment on me . here 's the thing . you know , i believe that you want to move on with your life , but you have certain people that are making it difficult for you . nina : you threatened me here in this office less than 10 minutes ago . julian : fiscally , not physically . look , nina , you have editorial control of the magazine -- that 's true . but i 'm in charge of running the budget . i supervise that . and i got to be honest with you , there 's already some areas right here that i can see i can make some -- can make some cuts next quarter , huh ? nina : you do that ... julian : mm - hmm . nina : ... and you try explaining to your investors and the irs how you worked so hard trying to sabotage this magazine . i have proof . you remember ? julian : mm - hmm . nina : if you want to reach out to alexis and all the other people you destroyed , you do it without the help of my magazine , okay ? julian : [ chuckling ] you know , i got to tell you , working with you again is , um ... it 's gon na be interesting . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . jason : hey . sam : how was the funeral ? jason : uh , it was pretty rough . sam : okay . are you worried about michael ? jason : yeah , but , you know , he 'll pull through . he 's a tough kid . we 're all there for him . sam : something has got you worried . i can see it on your face . jason : well , your father ... sam : mm . jason : ... he went to the metro court last night , and he threatened sonny to his face . sam : julian 's an idiot . jason : yes , he is . provoking sonny does n't usually end well . sam : yeah , i -- i know that . and i -- i do n't care what happens to julian . but if sonny moves against him , you 're not -- you 're not gon na get involved , will you ? [ scene_break ] michael : i was n't expecting you . sonny : yeah , i was gon na leave you alone and keep my distance , and then i was talking ... to morgan , and he said something that made me realize ... your mom and i -- actually , the whole family -- we -- we always think you 're gon na be okay . we always take that for granted , like you do n't need any help or any support , but i know that you 're hurting . and i just want you to know that , you know , you 're not alone in this . michael : yeah . i do know that , dad . thank you . sonny : sometimes , the best thing you can do for someone you care about is to just show up . michael : i appreciate you saying that , dad . i mean , i 'll be fine , you know ? i 'll be , uh -- be fine . [ scene_break ] paul : i had ... to do what i had to do , and i 'm so sorry . if your spirit ... can be brought everlasting peace ... may it be in knowing that you did not die in vain . [ scene_break ] tracy : hi . dillon : how you holding up ? tracy : uh , i hate funerals . much as we talk about it being a ... celebration of life , it 's really ... just about saying goodbye , and sabrina 's murder was so brutal , it 's affected everyone , including your father . dillon : really ? tracy : yeah . i stayed behind with him at the church , and it was the strangest thing . dillon : how so ? tracy : he 's devastated by sabrina 's death . i 've -- i have -- i 've never seen him respond that way . he 's in a very , very bad place . dillon : you know , now that you mention it , i ... i went to see him the day of the trial , and he was just sitting in the courtroom , all alone . i went to tell him that the hospital was closing down , and when i mentioned to him that sabrina had died , he was really shaken up . which is understandable . i mean , she -- she was murdered , and he lost a pivotal witness , but ... i do n't know . it was almost like it was personal to him . and they did n't really know each other that well . tracy : oh , my god . oh , my god . i know what it is . [ scene_break ] morgan : totally procrastinating right now . [ sighs ] nope . nope . need a five- minute break . i need a five - minute break . then i 'll finish this thing off . [ scene_break ] kiki : `` leave a message to support sabrina 's loved ones . `` thank you for taking care of my sister . [ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina is the same age as your half - sister . dillon : dad 's thinking about susan ? tracy : he always insists that he cares more about his children than they realize . he must feel guilty about the distance between him and susan . so sabrina 's death exacerbated that guilt . dillon : that makes ... some sort of sense , but there 's nothing we can really do about that , right ? i mean , to help him ? he 's so private . he 'd never admit that . tracy : you could reach out to your sister . dillon : yeah , we have n't talked since i was like 10 . we used to write letters , but we never lived in the same household . we 're not even friends online . tracy : you could try . please , dillon ? dillon : i can try . tracy : thank you . and if you get ahold of her , you could ask her to come to port charles ? dillon : okay . yeah , no problem . tracy : look , if i 'm right about this , seeing his daughter is exactly what he needs . [ scene_break ] paul : yes , i 'd like to speak to susan hornsby , please . okay . um ... would you please tell her that her father called ? and also , please , let her know that it 'll all be okay and i 'm handling everything .

[ scene_break ] jason : i told sonny that i could n't be involved in whatever he does to julian . sam : okay . do you think sonny 's gon na take action ? jason : i do n't know . if julian keeps threatening him , yeah . sam : and -- and he has to respond . i get it . i see what julian has done to my mother . and do n't get me wrong -- i want to see him vanish from the face of this earth but not because of you or sonny . i do n't want his blood on anybody 's hands . jason : yeah , i got it . i got it . and i really hope that i got through with sonny . [ sighs ] but your dad ... if he keeps pushing , sonny 's gon na have to defend himself . and by threatening sonny , julian has put a huge target on his back .

alexis is drinking , having nightmares as well as conscious fear of julian returning and haunting her . sam comes by and expresses her concerns for her mom . alexis informs her daughter she 's applying for jobs in law firms to have some purpose until she gets reinstated to practice law . she also promises sam she will refrain from drinking as sam is doing during her pregnancy . as soon as sam leaves , however , alexis gets on the phone to apply to advertised jobs she notices . all the people she speaks to , however , inform her they have heard all about her and do not want her working in their law firms . realizing she has nothing to do , she continues to drink . julian goes to see nina to `` motivate `` her to do his bidding , by printing a story about him and his innocence or else he will make her sorry she did not . yet she is not intimidated by him , realizing she now has legal rights to the magazine and does not have to get involved in his mess . everyone is mourning the loss of sabrina . both kiki and morgan admit they are not comfortable attending the memorial service when michael has lost the one person who was there for him and helped him when he was all alone and hurt by them , not long ago . yet dillon comes by to speak to kiki and encourages her to not feel responsible for the things that have happened . tracy overhears paul alone in the chapel apologizing to sabrina for `` murdering `` her . witnessing that , tracy instantly assumes he is merely blaming himself for failing to catch the hospital killer and assures him the only person to blame is the maniac who murdered sabrina . at that point , he has no `` incentive `` to confess to his son 's mom what he really did . yet dillon finds his mom and they both express noticing some very `` uncharacteristic `` behavior in paul . tracy concludes that paul blames himself and has a `` personal `` stake in what happened to sabrina because of his feeling responsible for the loss of his daughter . they ( as well as everybody else in port charles ) still have no suspicion that paul is the hospital killer . michael and nelle are becoming close . sonny reaches out to both of his sons expressing he wants to be there for him . alexis is really losing it and , at the end of the episode , we see her continuing to drink , coming down the stairs of her house alone and seeing julian in her living room .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , what are you gon na do about finding ava ? griffin : you do n't think i 'm overreacting ? elizabeth : valentin 's non - answer definitely sounded ominous . griffin : yeah . yeah , valentin has little regard for the sanctity of human life . i - i - i have no doubt he will do whatever it takes to make sure ava does n't have a change of heart about testifying for spencer . elizabeth : as i understand it , ava was the only other person in the room when nikolas was shot . griffin : she 's the only one that can say valentin killed nikolas in cold blood . i 'm sure she 's in trouble . i have to help . elizabeth : but how ? [ scene_break ] franco : so you were n't my twin , but you were like a brother to me . and imagine that -- [ pounding on door ] scott : oh , hey . you 're just the guy i 'm looking for . i got a gift for you -- a big , fat gift . what 's the matter with you ? you look like you just lost your best friend . franco : in a way , i did . [ scene_break ] sonny : who is this ? you got something to say , say it . brick : sonny . max told me to come on back . sonny : time 's up . we 're done . [ slams phone down ] brick : something going on ? sonny : uh ... somebody just called my private line . brick : safe line ? sonny : it 's reserved for my inner circle . very few people have that number . brick : it could have been a misdial . sonny : no , no , no . ever since petrov was killed , a wrong number is not a coincidence that i 'm buying . brick : hmm . [ scene_break ] [ in st. petersburg , russia ] dr. klein : i admit , i 'm impressed . i thought i had you too drugged to do more than stare out a window . but you had enough fine motor control to write down this number . why was it so important ? who are you to sonny ? and what did you think he could do for you ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're turning me down ? nathan : hey , do n't get the wrong idea , okay ? you are insanely beautiful , and i appreciate all of the effort that you spent setting all this up , and i love you . i just ca n't do it right now . maxie : okay . but i spent all day preparing for our special night . i even tried a recipe . nathan : you cooked ? maxie : yeah . i found an interesting recipe on crimson 's website . who knew that lemon zest was just the yellow part of the peel and -- and not the white ? or that ginger is n't just for ginger snaps anymore ? nathan : it 's a brave new world . maxie : i was all set . it was going great , except ... nathan : except ? well , did you know that there 's , like , a gross little package of innards in the cavity of a chicken ? and it 's wrapped in , of all things , paper . nathan : [ laughs ] that ... would explain the smell . maxie : yeah , the chicken did n't survive . or the pan . so we will just have to exhaust ourselves with passion tonight and order takeout later . please be in the mood . i need to feel like i have some sort of purpose for my life . nathan : max , babe , it 's not -- it 's got nothing to do with my mood . it 's got everything to do with yours . [ scene_break ] scott : i did n't know that you had a best friend -- or any friends for that -- no offense . franco : none taken . it was a long time ago . scott : okay , so who is this that we 're talking about ? franco : remember the photograph that i showed to you ? scott : oh , come on ! i told you , that 's old hat ! franco : well , i went to see my mom and ask her about it . and she was all packed up and ready to leave for a cruise and on the phone with , of all people , heather . scott : oh , brother , this just gets worse . yeah . but ... my mom did finally tell me the truth . the kid in the photograph is jason 's identical twin . scott : s - susan moore ? franco : susan moore . scott : so ... uh , she gave birth to twins ? franco : yeah . nobody realized that she was pregnant . she did n't even know until they arrived . and alan thought he was only gon na have one kid , so susan gave the other kid to my mom to make sure that alan did n't take that kid , too . scott : so she was then gon na go get the kid , but she died . oh , wow . i did n't see any of this coming my way here . franco : right ? scott : so , if there 's two jasons , where is the other one now ? [ scene_break ] griffin : look , i have n't come up with a viable plan yet to save ava . all i know is she 's in st. petersburg . elizabeth : florida ? griffin : no . st. petersburg , russia . this place that -- that valentin sent her operates in secret . they have a -- a strict referral process and top - notch security . i have no idea how i 'm gon na get in , but i will . elizabeth : okay , well , ava 's pretty good at taking care of herself . some people think she 's dangerous . griffin : look , maybe before the fire , ava struck fear into people , but since she 's been burned , she 's much more vulnerable . elizabeth : yeah . an incident like that is life - changing , yes . griffin : ava 's not out to hurt anyone . look , even if she is , we do n't know what she 's up against at this place that valentin sent her . elizabeth : okay , well , have you thought about maybe going to the police ? griffin : and telling them what ? what ? that ava jerome , she went to a clinic in russia voluntarily , and now i have a bad feeling about it with no proof that her life 's in jeopardy ? elizabeth : yeah , no , i see your point . griffin : [ sighs ] i - i have to handle this myself . i 'm going to russia . elizabeth : oh , is -- is this level of self - sacrifice normal for a priest ? griffin : i am just concerned for somebody that may be in trouble . elizabeth : right . and you once told me that your relationship with ava was only about trying to save her soul . i 'm wondering if maybe you 're starting to have feelings for her . [ scene_break ] dr. klein : i made a foolish mistake . i let my greed and my vanity get the better of me . to offer so much for a simple job means the job is n't so simple . ah , the hell with it . [ sighs ] i 've done what i was paid to do . someone else can take over . i hope they have a strong cell . and plenty of guards . they 'll need them to deal with you . [ scene_break ] sonny : it was n't max or my south american partners . it was n't jason , as you know , you probably heard he 's in a facility . he 's in a coma . so it 's not him . brick : want me to work my magic , see what i can find out ? sonny : absolutely , because after petrov 's death , we can not be too careful . payback could just be right around the corner . brick : you 're right . got my laptop in the car . i 'll see what i can find out about who called you . [ scene_break ] nathan : max , all of this , this waiting up for me every night and dressing up ... it 's because you miss work , right ? maxie : no . i 'm just being a good wife . nathan : well , you are a good wife . you 're a great wife . maxie : even when i 'm on the other side of the country ? nathan : yeah , even then , although i missed you like crazy , and i 'm unbelievably grateful that you 're home . maxie : yeah . who would use the mini fire extinguisher if i was n't here ? nathan : [ chuckles ] maxie : look , i love our life together , and i do n't want you to think that i regret coming home . our marriage means more to me than any job , and i could n't live without you . nathan : i could n't live without you , either . that does n't mean you have to pretend like you do n't miss work . okay ? and i 'm sorry that nina wo n't hire you back . you 're always at your best when you 're doing what you love . maxie : you know , i sent my résumé to like a dozen places , and not one contacted me for an interview . and you 're right . i 'm not the type of person who could be the little wife that prepares all day for her husband to come home . i need to be interesting again . i need to get my spark back , be desirable . nathan : oh , max , you 're always interesting . you 're never gon na lose your spark , and you 're definitely desirable . maxie : then why wo n't you make love to me ? nathan : because life as we know it is gon na end tomorrow . [ scene_break ] ava : [ breathing heavily ] what the hell 's going on here ? what the hell is this place ? you know something , ava , i think you 're kidding yourself . i do n't think anybody here is gon na be able to -- to fix your face . i think the best thing for you to do is to get on a plane and get out of here . [ sighs ] but you ca n't . do n't give up . you ca n't give up . klein : it 's klein . there 's been an incident . because this is a clinic , not a private penitentiary . they 're not set up to control him . i 'm giving him ketamine . it 's a horse tranquilizer . now , he should n't be able to move , and yet he got out of his chair and nearly killed three orderlies . you have to come get him . how soon ? and what do you expect me to do with him until then ? if i give him much more , it 'll stop his heart . i can keep him immobilized until tomorrow , and then he becomes your problem . [ scene_break ] griffin : ava and i grew close during her recovery . she opened up to me . i hurt her . i made some mistakes inadvertently , but that does n't make it any easier to accept . i think that she accepted valentin 's offer of this miracle cure because of me . elizabeth : i do n't hear you denying that you have feelings for her . i know all about getting involved with someone with a questionable past . you did n't judge me when i confided in you about franco , and i am certainly not gon na judge you about ava . so , whatever your relationship is with her , you can trust me . griffin : thank you . thank you for your concern and your friendship . but i have nothing to confess about my feelings for ava . we 're friends . or at least we were until i screwed up . i 'm a priest . i took vows , and i 'm not going to break them again . anyways , this is -- this is all a moot point , because we need to find ava , and with god 's help , i will . elizabeth : i think it 's gon na take more than prayers to locate her . griffin : that 's true . yeah , but i think i -- i think i may know somebody that might help . it 's a long shot , but it 's worth a try . elizabeth : then you should go for it . i really got to get home . but good luck . [ chuckles ] griffin : thank you . [ scene_break ] scott : so jason has a twin out there walking around ? franco : not anymore . the kid in that photo died when he was 3 . franco : what ? how -- how did he die ? scott : bad heart . so this kid , he just disappeared from your life ? i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry about that , franco . that must have been tough on you . franco : what am i gon na say ? hey , you know , it was . i was a kid , and he was always around . he was like a brother to me , and then all of a sudden , he was gone . scott : yeah . franco : my mother told me that he was imaginary , but there was always a little part of me that knew that he was real . well , he was a part of your life . yeah , i loved him . drew . his name -- well , his name was andrew , but i called him drew . scott : but why did your mother lie to you all this time ? franco : well , she could n't risk anyone knowing that she was raising a quartermaine baby . they would have gone after her for an illegal adoption . imagine the fallout for something like that . scott : yeah , yeah , the quartermaines can be sort of grabby when it comes to family . i can see why betsy was concerned . so this cockamamie story about an imaginary kid was to save you from any kind of pain when you were young . but when you grew up , why did n't she tell you ? i mean , when you flat - out asked her , she took off . franco : i do n't know why she kept drew 's death a secret . scott : well , maybe there 's something that she 's not telling you . [ scene_break ] [ chains rattle ] [ door opens ] ava : look at you . what did they do to you ? this is my fault . i mean , not completely . i should have just done what they told me to do and left you alone . at least then you 'd be sitting in your chair and not drugged unconscious and handcuffed to a bed . i wish there was something i could do to help you . [ scene_break ] franco : betsy was n't holding anything back . she wanted to tell the truth . she wanted to come clean . i will tell you , though , i do wonder how my life would be different if drew had lived and we 'd grown up together . maybe i 'd be normal . scott : nah , who wants normal ? franco : me , i do . i want normal . i do . i want a completely normal life for elizabeth and her boys . i do n't want my past to ever have to rear its ugly head again . scott : so this has really gotten to you , has n't it ? franco : [ exhales sharply ] knowing that there was this person who was like a brother to me , and that he died ? i do n't know how to feel about that . scott : you should talk to elizabeth . franco : mm , no . betsy swore me to secrecy . she 's afraid of reprisal from the quartermaines . the only reason i 'm talking to you is because you 're not only my father , but you 're my attorney , so you 're bound by law to keep your mouth shut . scott : now , come on . do n't you think that elizabeth deserves to know ? franco : since when you are such a big fan of the truth ? scott : [ sighs ] since my father died . i 'm trying to honor his memory by doing the right thing . i wish that you had known him . he was a straight shooter . so i 'm telling you this . if you do n't tell elizabeth , you 're gon na regret it . [ door opens ] elizabeth : you 're back . franco : oh . elizabeth : hi , scott . scott : hi , elizabeth . elizabeth : why did n't you call me ? franco : because my dad showed up . i have n't had a chance . elizabeth : so , what -- what happened ? did your mom tell you about that other boy in the photo ? [ scene_break ] sonny : hey . griffin : hey . uh , your -- your associate said i could come see you . sonny : you 're always welcome here . what can i do for you ? griffin : um ... look , i do n't know if i 'm overstepping or -- or if this is something that makes you uncomfortable . sonny : well , we wo n't know unless you ask . griffin : look , i -- i know you 're a powerful man , sonny . a man with resources at his disposal for , uh ... locating people that do n't want to be found . sonny : who are you looking for ? brick : hey . i got a hit on that call . oh , excuse me , i 'm sorry . i did n't know you had a guest . sonny : oh , father , this is my associate , brick . he does the cyber security . he just traced a call for me . you find anything ? brick : yeah . the call came from russia . specifically , st. petersburg . [ scene_break ] ava : i gave klein that number you wanted me to call . obviously , you wanted me to contact someone that could help you , and i ratted you out instead . i am so sorry . it 's just -- i gave up so much to be here , and i could n't risk being kicked out . i wish i could make it up to you . patient 6 : you can . [ scene_break ] sonny : russia ? brick : it could be someone from the petrov family . sonny : well , i doubt that because the petrovs are from moscow . moscow 's nowhere near st. petersburg . brick : okay , so not them . sonny : i 'm just worried that someone uncovered the number to the safe line . who -- who would be calling me from st. petersburg ? griffin : hey , i - i think i know . ava jerome . [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're worried about the book launch tomorrow where your publisher , quinn , has promised that the identity of `` ask man landers `` will be revealed . nathan : yeah , i mean , it 's all over social media . i 'm even hearing people talk about it at work . maxie : yeah , quinn knows the interest is high , which means phenomenal book sales . amy tapped in to the insecurities of men and made the lives of their women better . both sexes are dying to meet their hero -- you . nathan : except i 'm not actually `` ask man landers , `` amy is . maxie : am i missing something ? i thought you wanted to help amy and her brother . nathan : i do . of course , i do . it 's just -- i 'm about to be introduced to the public posing as somebody that i 'm not . so best case scenario , they believe it , that i 'm actually `` ask man landers , `` and the book sells well . maxie : yeah , amy gets the money and continues with chet 's medical care . nathan : yeah , yeah , you know , the guys tease me at work for a little while , jordan 's cool with it , and the ruse is never discovered . maxie : does n't sound so bad to me . nathan : well , yeah , but that 's if nothing goes wrong . if something does go wrong , and the lie is discovered , then amy loses all of the money from the book , because the contract is false . without proper healthcare , her brother 's health deteriorates . she loses her job at the hospital , and i get fired from the pcpd . maxie : whoa , you really think jordan would fire you ? nathan : she could . i mean , she could do more . she could arrest me for fraud . maxie : what ? ! nathan : well , yeah , maxie , i signed a book contract knowing i 'm not the author of the book , that amy is . that 's , like , the textbook definition of fraud . i go to jail , my career is up in smoke , my life is ruined . maxie : not your entire life . you would still have me . nathan : not if i 'm an inmate . maxie : you 're not going to be an inmate . look , i might not be able to cook a chicken , but with all the time i had on my hands , is changing tomorrow , especially not yours . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : did you find your mother ? what 'd she say ? scott : well , i should get going . i just came by to give you this . it 's the money from your art show . elizabeth : oh . wow . scott : yes , astonishing amount of money . so , you 'll be able to pay kiki 's tuition now . elizabeth : you did n't tell me you wanted to pay for her med school . that 's really sweet of you . franco : yeah . um , well , ava 's unreliable , and her dad 's dead , so -- elizabeth : and she 's your family . franco : yeah , i do n't know . i just wanted to help the kid out . elizabeth : of course , you did . scott : [ mouths ] tell her . okay , so i 'm gon na get going . i 'll leave you squirrels alone so you can talk about betsy . i 'm sure elizabeth wants to hear all about what you told me . franco : thanks , dad . scott : no problem . so long . elizabeth : okay , so what happened ? did your mom tell you who the other boy in the photo is ? franco : yes . elizabeth : well , who is he ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you think ava called me from russia ? griffin : was it a woman on the phone ? sonny : i do n't know , 'cause they did n't -- they did n't say anything . why would you suggest that ? griffin : ava 's in st. petersburg . sonny : could she have that number ? no , of course not . i mean , morgan had it , but she could have gotten it from morgan , i doubt it . griffin : maybe she just called to check on avery . sonny : yeah , but she has my other numbers . what is she doing in russia ? brick : working for the petrovs . maybe they recruited her . sonny : i would n't put it past her . griffin : no , no , no . wait , wait , hey , you got it all wrong . look , sonny , ava went to russia to -- to heal herself , not to wound someone else . sonny : with all due respect , griffin , you do n't know anything about ava or what she 's capable of . griffin : you 're wrong , i do know ava . sonny : well -- griffin : she 's -- she 's changed . i 'm not just talking physically , spiritually , too . her trip to russia has nothing to do with you and everything to do with a misunderstanding . sonny : what kind of misunderstanding ? griffin : a miscommunication between ava and me . sonny : i bet . griffin : sonny , listen to me . she 's not out to hurt you . in fact , she 's the reason that i came here today , to ask for your help in locating the clinic she went to in st. petersburg . i think she could be in danger . [ scene_break ] ava : i did n't realize you were awake . or that you could speak . patient 6 : a little . ava : why did you hide it ? why did n't you let me know ? you do n't trust me . hey . i do n't even know you . yeah , you seem to have some connection to port charles , but i 'm a pariah there , anyway , and these people have made it perfectly clear that i could be kicked out of here for fraternizing with you . and you have no idea what i gave up to be here . look at me . my face was destroyed in a fire . people are embarrassed by me . they look away . they get tongue - tied and awkward . i need to be close to somebody again . i need to feel someone 's hand on my cheek again . can you understand that ? i need to be healed , and i ca n't do anything that 'll jeopardize my recovery . [ sniffles ] patient 6 : you said you wanted to make it up to me ? ava : yeah . i do . but not at the cost of my own future . i know how selfish that sounds . [ sniffles ] but , you know , the truth is , i 'm just not a good person . patient 6 : do you want to be ? ava : a good person ? [ laughs ] yeah . i think so . there was someone who thought that i could change , that i could be better . and i would argue with him . i 'd say , `` i 'm a lost cause . `` but i think , yeah . i think , deep down inside , part of me wants to prove him right . patient 6 : then prove him right . help me . [ scene_break ] maxie : you see ? magic , right ? if we can pull this off , everyone will walk away happy , including amy and her brother and her tough - as - nails publisher . but most importantly , you wo n't have to dread tomorrow . no axe is going to fall . everything will work perfectly . nathan : yeah , sure . maxie : so now , why do n't you let me show you how wonderful i think you are for helping amy 's brother ? and you can show me how much you appreciate my brilliant idea . i think man landers would approve . nathan : i have no doubt . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : well , who is he ? franco : not jason , you were right about that . just a kid from the neighborhood . we were really good friends , and then he moved away , and the picture was taken right before he did that . my mom felt bad about it , so she made up the whole imaginary friend thing . elizabeth : because he moved away , she told you he did n't exist ? that 's a little nuts . franco : yeah , well , i like to say that my mom always did the best that she could . elizabeth : but if it were that simple , why did she disappear after she promised to tell you the truth ? franco : because she did n't want to admit that she was -- that she lied , and i think she feels terrible about the whole thing , you know ? you 're right , it 's a little weird to take an actual kid and turn him into an imaginary friend , but none of this is her fault . me going through all of my old work just brought up a bunch of weirdness , and i turned a little thing into a big thing . elizabeth : she should have just told you the truth . franco : nothing was hidden from me . nothing was taken from me . it was just a lonely kid who missed his buddy . elizabeth : but that is a big deal to a kid . what was his name ? franco : i do n't -- my mom did n't know , i do n't know , either . elizabeth : that 's too bad . you could have looked him up . franco : yeah , i think that it 's time we just let this whole thing go . elizabeth : is that even possible ? after you were so troubled about it ?

[ scene_break ] justus : let 's go with the assumption that nurse harris was murdered to stop her from retracting her statement . alexis : which makes helena the killer , which is almost going to be impossible to prove . lucky : helena probably killed mary , too . alexis : no , i do n't think so . nikolas shot mary , and helena would n't risk raising the charges he 's facing from assault to manslaughter . elizabeth : mary did n't die from anything nikolas did . ric : no , but the injuries that he caused could be a contributing factor to mary 's death because she had to be hospitalized and she needed meds for her injuries . alexis : i still do n't think helena would expose nikolas to that kind of risk . justus : well , maybe somebody else killed mary , and helena and tracy took advantage of the situation to frame emily . ric : i do n't suppose you have anything resembling proof ? monica : preliminary autopsy report . i can save you the trouble . donna harris had a hematoma on the back of her head -- blunt force . she had bruises and scratches inside of her mouth . somebody forced pills down her throat . ric : well , then , we 're definitely looking at murder .

[ ethan laughs ] lucky : dante and lulu ? ethan : no , i mean spencers in general . lucky : huh . yeah , well , suppose you 're right . i mean , i guess that 's why lulu broke up with dante when she found out i was using . she thought she was being managed . that 's a real sore spot for her . you know , you and i -- we 're more like dad . lulu -- she 's more like mom . i think on some deep level , she 's afraid that she 's just gon na take it all the way someday . ethan : what do you mean ? lucky : i just mean -- end up like mom , you know , sitting in a chair , staring at a wall in shadybrook or someplace like that . ethan : are lulu and laura really that similar , though ? lucky : i do n't know . you know , there 's a -- a painting in wyndermere someplace . it was painted , uh , when mom was around lulu 's age . and if you saw it , i swear -- i can guarantee you , you 'd do a double take . i mean , i - i - it could totally be our sister .

[ chuckles ] anyway , we got to get going , otherwise we 're gon na be late . you 're gon na do awesome , man . do n't worry about it , okay ? i 'll see you . ellie : did i hear that correctly ? are you really gon na be your own daughter 's godfather ? spinelli : [ sighs ] maxie : olivia , what are you doing here ? olivia : am i in the wrong place ? my granddaughter getting christened today ? maxie : right , i - i just meant you 're early . olivia : well , i wanted to get a few things squared away with the priest . maxie : how long were you standing there ? olivia : long enough . maxie : i can explain what i said . olivia : honey , honey , there 's no need . dante and lulu told me that , uh , you were n't having an easy time letting go of little connie . maxie : they 've been great , and i 'm working on this . i 'm in therapy . olivia : yeah , yeah , they told me that , too . maxie : and so , my attachment issues with connie wo n't be a problem . olivia : honey , dante and lulu know that , or they would have never asked you to be her godmother . you must be so excited . maxie : i ca n't wait . olivia : do n't worry . honey , i have a feeling this is all gon na work out just fine . as long as you do n't stab lulu in the back . [ chuckles ] tracy : luke told you the truth ? lulu : only after i overheard him say he was dying and confronted him . tracy : lulu , i 'm sorry . he swore me to secrecy . i hated lying to you . lulu : that 's my dad for you . always has to go it alone . tracy : do n't be too angry at him . he thought he was protecting you . lulu : oh , right . me . just sitting here perfectly safe , i 'm the one who needs protecting . tracy : lulu , you 're where you 're supposed to be -- with your daughter . lulu : well , where 's my dad ? is he weak ? is he alone ? is he scared ? what if something happens to him , tracy ? what if he does n't come home ? tracy : that 's not going to happen . he will come home , because there 's no way he 's gon na let helena cassadine have the last laugh . luke : [ grunts ] that 's good . i like that . okay . pal , you do n't mind if i borrow this , do you ? i did n't think so . aah ! [ groaning ] [ breathing heavily ] no , no . i 'm okay . do n't worry about me . it 'll pass . [ groans ] [ exhales deeply ] oh , yeah . oh , that 's so much better . okay . now , come on , spencer . get it together . in there is jerry jacks and his magic elixir . [ grunting ] if i can get it open . [ grunts ] excellent . [ beep ] luke : calling jerry jacks ! jerry jacks ! [ echoing ] as if jerry jacks could fill my shoes . hello again , lover boy . of cold ? i mean , maxie feels a bond with connie despite the fact that they 're not even related , yet the moment that ben was born , brad washes his hands of him , his own son . britt : i do n't know if brad ever thought of ben as his son . i mean , this was an arrangement , nothing more . and -- and i truly bear brad no ill will . i mean , ben and i will be just fine . nikolas : well , brad 's the one who 's missing out , if you ask me . i - i do need to go get ready , so ... i do n't know . if ben were my son , i would n't stray outside of the range of that monitor . brad : could you just take the box already ? i feel like everyone 's staring . felix : because they are . brad : why ? why does a token of my affection have to be such a ... big deal ? ! felix : [ chuckles ] the fact that you do n't understand just proves my point . you have a child in this world that you 're ignoring . i ca n't condone that . brad : yeah , well , you happen to be ignoring something yourself . felix : not a kid ! brad : no , a moment between us . the other day , you and i shared what most people would call an actual human connection , or at least i thought we did . but i [ scoffs ] guess i misread the situation . i was wrong . you felt absolutely nothing . felix : okay . okay . brad : `` okay , `` what ? felix : maybe it 's possible i felt something . maxie : why would i stab lulu in the back ? olivia : that 's a good question . i do n't know . that 's just what the weird sisters seem to be telling me . maxie : the glam - rock lesbian band from australia ? olivia : [ chuckling ] no . the fates or whatever it is . wherever i get these visions i get from . maxie : you had a vision that i stabbed lulu in the back ? olivia : yeah . the night of the birthing class . i had a vision that you came into dante and lulu 's apartment and you stabbed lulu in the back . it freaked me out so bad , i made dante come home from the class . maxie : and spinelli had to take his place . olivia : yeah . luckily he was there to step in as daddy . maxie : yeah , real lucky . olivia : yeah . but it was okay . dante talked me down , and he was right . i know that you would never do anything to hurt lulu like that . and , you know , it would n't be the first time that my radar was completely off . [ laughing ] olivia : that time , remember when i thought you were gon na give birth to a dog ? maxie : [ chuckles nervously ] that was -- that was crazy . olivia : i mean , it was n't really a dog , actually . it was more like a wolf or a hyena or -- or ... something . maxie : a jackal . spinelli : well , your hearing is in fine fettle . i 'm gon na be connie 's godfather . ellie : i have to admit , i 'm surprised . spinelli : i was n't angling for the position , but ... i felt like i had no choice . [ sighs ] thanks to an issue of family politics , he could n't ask michael or morgan . and with the christening right around the corner , namely today , i did n't want to leave him hanging . ellie : oh , so you did it for dante ? spinelli : there may have been a bit more to it than that . ellie : such as ? spinelli : if i 'm being honest , i ... guess i agreed in part for myself . lulu : so , what are we supposed to do ? just pretend everything is normal ? tracy : i think that 's exactly what your father wants us to do . lulu : well , he 's a jerk . sometimes . tracy : do tell . lulu : see , that 's the thing . he 's our jerk , and i 'd really like him to be my daughter 's jerk . he promised me that he would be there when she was born , and , you know , technically , he kept that promise . but i assumed that meant he would be here for the duration or at least until the christening . my mom 's still in paris tending to her health , which means ... i 've got no one . tracy : i resent that . lulu : i did n't mean it like that . tracy : who has been at your side through every crisis with every one of your reprobate boyfriends ? lulu : they were n't all reprobates . tracy : who can be counted on to give sage advice every time your life spirals into chaos ? lulu : you . tracy : and who is gon na be standing in for your father at the church today to make sure that spinelli does not ruin his new granddaughter ? lulu : [ laughing ] you do n't have to do that . tracy : yes , i do . but it helps that i want to . [ door opens ] dante : hello . tracy : yay ! dante : oh , hey , tracy , hi . well , i have good news . spinelli said yes . lulu : even better news . maxie is on board , too . dante : good . okay . i will , uh ... [ door closes ] dante : ... get ready to rock , go change . lulu : say hello . we 'll see you at the church ? tracy : what ? oh , yeah , the church . lulu : is something wrong ? tracy : i ... i was just looking for luke in her face . lulu : i 've been doing the same thing . i do n't see much of him , either . tracy : i 'll , uh -- i 'll see you at the church . mmm . lulu : [ chuckles ] luke : helena ? helena : your eyes do n't deceive you . luke : no . no , i shot you . i checked your pulse . no , you ... this is n't real . you 're a clone . or a double or faison in a mask and a wig . you are not helena cassadine . that bitch is dead . helena : oh . indeed i am . at your hand . so , tell me , luke . if i 'm dead ... what does that make you ? i knew you had the hots for me ! felix : could you not be putting our private business out in front of the nurses ' station ? brad : you 're right . if there was ever a time to tweet , it 's now . felix : okay , also premature . brad : sure . sure , sure , sure . no problem . we 'll just , uh , take this newfound accord and build on it brick by brick . felix : okay , look , no one 's gon na be building on anything . we had a moment , and it 's possible in that moment i felt something . but that feeling lingered only for a short second , before patrick came in and reminded me the kind of person that you are . brad : and what kind of person is that ? felix : a selfish person ! a person who places himself above everyone else , who 's incapable of telling the truth unless it suits his own purposes , the person who always makes the wrong decision about the right thing to do . brad : do n't you think that 's a little harsh ? look , i know i 'm not your typical role model , but i 'm not all bad . felix : okay . name one selfless thing that you 've done . brad : [ sighs ] felix : that 's what i thought . brad : wait . what if i did one ? britt : nikolas is so kind to let us stay here . which is why i feel terrible that he 's about to attend a christening for a baby that is n't even his niece . [ sighs ] but i gave maxie my word . i wo n't tell anyone the truth . i just wish i did n't have to lie to nikolas . nikolas : lie to me about what ? spinelli : i realize it may be self - serving , but being connie 's godfather assures me a place in her life . at least i 'll be able to maintain some kind of contact with my daughter . ellie : damian , will `` some contact `` really be enough ? can you honestly be satisfied being the godfather of your own daughter ? spinelli : i 'll have to be . if you 'll excuse me , i ... i have to pick up my suit and get to the church . i have a christening to attend . ellie : [ sighs ] dante : what was all that with tracy ? lulu : she 's worried about my dad and trying to hide it . same as me . dante : i know you 're missing your dad today . lulu : i just wish i 'd hear from him . or that i had any way of contacting him . i really hate playing the waiting game . be nice if someone would help us figure out where he is . olivia : it was n't like a -- like a fox or a dingo , exactly , or a coyote . it was like an african wild dog , but not spotted . you know what i 'm talking about ? maxie : no . olivia : it 's so frustrating , 'cause it 's right on the tip of my tongue -- maxie : you know who can help you figure this out ? tracy . tracy : what am i supposed to figure out ? maxie : uh , you 're in really capable hands . if you excuse me , ladies , i need to get some air . tracy : like i said , what am i supposed to figure out ? olivia : dogs . maxie : hey , watch it ! spinelli : oh , a thousand apologies -- tracy : was it a poodle ? olivia : it was definitely not a poodle . tracy : okay , i 'm out of ideas . olivia : if i could just figure out what this animal was in my vision , i could figure out what the whole thing meant , because there 's always something to them . tracy : to the visions ? olivia : yes ! sometimes it is n't so obvious , like with the dog . but sometimes it 's -- [ gasps ] oh , my god ! tracy : what ? ! what is it ? ! olivia : right there ! luke : what are you -- what are you saying ? helena : [ chuckles ] you disappoint me , luke . you should figure it out . luke : no , i 'm not playing any more twisted mind games with you . i may be a little green around the gills , but i am alive ! and i 'm quite willing to put you back in the grave . helena : oh . why not join me ? i have picked out a nice , warm spot by the fire ... just for the two of us . luke : i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm not dead . helena : not yet . but you will be soon enough . unless ... luke : unless what ? i was n't trying to eavesdrop . britt : no , you ca n't help it if you have perfect timing . [ chuckles ] in this case , terrible . um , you just walked in as i was telling ben that i lied to you . so i owe you an explanation . i 've been keeping something from you . my mother called . nikolas : oh , she did ? britt : yeah . the number was blocked , but when i picked up , i - i knew it was my `` mutter . `` nikolas : what did she want ? britt : what else ? she wanted to hear all about her grandson . i hung up on her . nikolas : and you decided to keep that from me ? britt : well , yeah . you 've been so nice letting ben and me stay here . the last thing i wanted to do was invite trouble into your house , and that 's exactly what my mother is on two continents , so ... she 's still my mother , though . nikolas : it 's all right . you do n't have to explain . i 'm more than acquainted in duty to one 's family . britt : i appreciate you saying that . still , i - i should have told you . nikolas : yes , you should have . brad : what if i could prove that ... i know how to do the right thing ? felix : i do n't know . what if beyoncé came into the e.r . wa hangnail and , uh , asked me to choreograph her next music video ? everybody has a `` what if . `` it 's just that some are more likely than others . brad : wow . you really have no faith in me , do you ? felix : it 's not like you give me a lot to go on . look , if there 's nothing else , i really got to get started on my shift . oh , and , uh , just so we 're clear , the next time the spirit moves you to get me a gift , put it towards your son 's college education . brad : you 're late . ellie : i know , brad . i 'm sorry . i ran into damian on the way over , and we started talking about the christening . brad : what christening ? ellie : dante and lulu 's baby . dante : there . what do you think , mama ? lulu : oh . are you trying to make me cry ? as if i have n't been doing enough all -- [ gasps ] oh , my gosh . [ chuckles ] dante : it 's gon na be a good day . have our beautiful , little daughter , our amazing , if not unusual , godparents . lulu : are you having second thoughts about spinelli ? dante : no . no . he 's just not the first thing that comes to mind when you say the word `` godfather , `` right ? but he 's a really good friend of yours , and he 's got a good heart . lulu : he 's got a very good heart . spinelli 's come through for me more times than i can count . dante : yeah , i mean , you , uh , turn a blind eye to all the helping - the - mob stuff , and he 's squeaky clean . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : how about you ? you okay leaving , uh -- leaving connie 's moral welfare in maxie 's hands ? lulu : i am comfortable . maxie is working through her issues . she 's moving in the right direction . she 's my best friend . i want her to have a place in our daughter 's life . maxie : why are you here ? spinelli : to take part in connie 's christening . dante asked me to be the godfather . maxie : lulu asked me to be connie 's godmother . spinelli : and you agreed ? maxie : with all the tension that was going on , i just assumed she would ask someone else , which is why i was completely shocked when she asked me . and i had every intention of saying no , when i heard myself say yes . spinelli : how come ? maxie : [ sighs ] i wo n't need any excuses . for the rest of my life , i will have a reason to be close to our daughter . olivia : oh ! god ! tracy : what are you shrieking about ? ! olivia : oh , my god ! do n't you see that ? ! tracy : the altar ? olivia : no , the casket that 's on it ! tracy : the casket ? is it empty ? 'cause it 's about to be filled ! olivia : no , it 's not empty ! there 's someone in it ! god , i 'm having another vision . someone is dead over there , or about to be . tracy : who 's in it ? olivia : you do n't want to know . tracy : olivia , who is in it ? ! olivia : it 's luke . helena : i can help you . luke : [ chuckles ] oh , that should be good . what kind of help can i get from a decaying corpse ? helena : i am offering you a way out . salvation . luke : jerry 's cure . helena : oh , jerry 's not here . it 's just me ... and my bargain . tracy : luke is here ? olivia : he 's right there ! he 's right there in front of us ! tracy : well , is he dead ? olivia : i - i do n't know . i ca n't tell . he 's not moving . tracy : well , do n't just stand there . check for a pulse ! olivia : i ca n't interact with my visions . tracy : there 's a first time for everything ! olivia : oh . oh . tracy : well ? olivia : [ gasps ] he 's awake . tracy : oh , thank god . what 's he doing now ? olivia : oh . it looks like , uh ... it looks like he 's trying to say something . tracy : what ? what ? can he tell you where he is ? if he 's okay ? luke , talk to olivia ! she can hear you ! olivia : shush ! i 'm trying to listen ! tracy : well ? what did he say ? helena : i can end your suffering , luke . now , just take my hand and die now . luke : so i die to keep me from dying . what kind of a deal is that ? helena : i want it to be your choice . now , i need to know that you came to me of your own free will . luke : and if i pass ? helena : then be my slave . you know there 's no reason to stay here . luke : no , you -- you take your eternity and all the rest of that superstitious nonsense , and you shove it . i am not going anywhere with you now or ever . helena : i beg to differ . you will see me again . sooner than you think . and then ... i wo n't take no for an answer . luke : i 'll get that cure ! do you hear me ? ! luke spencer is alive , and he 's staying that way ! luke spencer lives ! [ groans ] tracy : speak up already . what is luke saying ? olivia : my vision , the -- the casket , luke , it 's gone . tracy : okay , all right . but did he tell you anything ? what ? olivia : he said , `` i need spanks . `` i 'm sorry , tracy . i told you these visions are tricky . it does n't make any sense ! why would luke need a girdle ? the guy 's skinny as a rail ! tracy : no , you idiot ! luke did n't mean a girdle ! he means me ! that 's my nickname ! luke needs me ! britt : i 'm sorry for keeping my mother 's call a secret . nikolas : britt , i 'm not angry with you . i 'm just -- i 'm concerned . you got enough to worry about with a new baby . the last thing you need is your mother calling and harassing you . britt : so , we 're still friends ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] yes , it 's , uh , kind of too late to back out now , is n't it ? um , i am gon na be late , so , um , i 'll check in with you later , okay ? okay . [ chuckles ] britt : sorry . nikolas : no . what was that for ? britt : it -- it 's just nice that someone cares about what happens to ben and me . nikolas : get used to it . spinelli : it appears we are of like minds . while i ca n't be connie 's father , with the advent of today 's christening , i can be a father figure . maxie : it 's better than nothing , right ? spinelli : but what if our proximity to our progeny brings us more pain than comfort ? maxie : well , we wo n't let that happen . i know it 's gon na be a test every day , but if you take a test every day , it gets easier , right ? we need to be strong . spinelli : can you be ? maxie : i do n't know . it 's why i came here early , actually , to pray . as astonishing as that sounds . spinelli : what did you pray for ? maxie : the strength to do this . and then you showed up . it 's like god heard my prayer and sent you to me . i guess it wo n't be so bad . i mean , we 're in it together , right ? spinelli : maybe you 're right . dante : hey ! you guys are here . good . spinelli : uh , greetings . [ chuckles ] mr. corinthos . [ door closes ] spinelli : it 's good to see you . you must be a proud patriarch . sonny : yeah , very proud . lulu : you 're gon na change , right ? spinelli : that was the intention . lulu : well , get going . it 's almost showtime . ooh . i hope that you 're both ready to make your official debut as godparents . brad : the falconeri baby is getting christened ? ellie : yeah . and damian is going to be her godfather , so ... brad : i see . and where might this blessed event be taking place ? ellie : uh , queen of angels , but not in the main church . the christening 's in the chapel . brad : and you 're saying this is happening right now ? ellie : i assume so , brad . i was n't given an exact -- brad : take this . ellie : chocolate - covered cherries ? brad : yeah . consider them a thank you for covering for me . i got to go . ellie : you 're going ? where ? brad : to prove i can do the right thing . granddaughter 's smiling at you . [ chuckles ] sonny : she 's beautiful , just like the lady she was named after , right ? tracy : lulu , i have to apologize . i 'm gon na , uh , have to leave right after the ceremony . lulu : you do ? but we were gon na have a little get - together . tracy : i 'm sorry . it 's business . it 's a crisis , and it ca n't wait . lulu : we 'll miss you . tracy : well , i will be back just as soon as i possibly can , and i might even bring you another gift . luke : [ coughing ] you ! [ gasps ] britt : okay , ben , what 's the big -- dr. obrecht : [ laughs ] do n't cry , my little stuffed cabbage . grossmutter is here . [ chuckles ] [ smooches ] father reyes : we gather in love to welcome another soul into god 's house , to christen the daughter of lesley lu and dante . through baptism , men are cleansed from their sins , made partakers in the meritorious redemption of jesus christ , taken into the society of the faithful and into the church of christ , fitted to obtain a share in all the treasuries of grace with a management and administration of which christ has entrusted his church . what name do you give your child ? both : constanza louise . father reyes : what do you ask of god 's church for constanza louise ? both : baptism . father reyes : in doing so , you accept the responsibility of training her in the practice of the faith . are you ready to help the parents of this child in their duty as christian parents ? both : we are . father reyes : constanza louise , the christian community welcomes you with great joy . in its name , i claim you for christ , our savior , by the sign of his cross . i now trace the cross on your forehead . this is the faith in which this child is about to be baptized . do you reject satan and all his works ? together : i do . felix : brad gave you those ? ellie : oh , yeah . you want some ? felix : [ chuckles ] you know he bought those for me ? although i use the term loosely . he probably stole them from some comatose patient 's get - well package . that man is incapable of doing the right thing . ellie : that 's so weird . he just left here a few minutes ago saying he was on his way to do just that . father reyes : is it your will that constanza louise should be baptized in the faith of the church which we have all professed with you ? together : it is . father reyes : constanza louise , i baptize you in the name of the father ... and the son ... and the holy spirit . tracy : i 'll be in touch . lulu : thank you . tracy : bye , you two . sonny : so , i 'm gon na go ahead and take off . olivia : okay , i 'll go with you . sonny : no , no . listen , max is waiting out there . you just stay here and enjoy our granddaughter . uh , i do n't have to tell you , but most important thing in life is just being a parent . nothing else really matters . dante : i knew that the second i looked into her eyes . sonny : all right . dante : hey , uh , dad . thanks for coming to this . sonny : i 'm glad i did . lulu : sonny had to leave ? dante : yeah . olivia : yeah , but at least he got to be here for the main event . and you , you were such a trouper . the priest was very impressed . lulu : oh , um , the gift that we brought for the priest . i forgot to give it to him . spinelli : i can track him down . lulu : thanks . spinelli : what are you doing here ? brad : i need to speak to dante and lulu . there 's something they need to know .

nikolas gets close to britt 's son ben . britt tells nikolas that she is concerned about maxie because connie was a part of maxie 's body and that letting go is not as easy as just saying so . nikolas says it was that easy for brad . britt explains that her agreement with brad did n't include becoming a family . nikolas overhears britt telling ben that she hates keeping the secret from nikolas . when he asks her what she is keeping from him , she says she did n't want to tell him that her mother called . he says he understands conflicted loyalties to family , but that she should have told him , because she does n't need her mother adding to her stress . after nikolas leaves to attend the ceremony , britt finds her mother in the living room holding ben .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : come in . hayden : nice place . elizabeth : i am glad you 're free . hayden : [ laughs ] so you say now , but you did n't feel that way when you turned my diamonds over to the police . elizabeth : i did n't know all the facts , okay ? i did n't know that the gh killer was the one who pushed me down the stairs . i did n't know you were my sister or that you saved my life with your blood donation and once i found out all of that , it was too late . you had already been arrested . are you out on bail ? hayden : no . the charges against me were dropped . my mother confessed to taking the diamonds . she covered for me . so now she 's in prison . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry and did n't mean to make all of this trouble . but now that everything is out in the open , maybe we can just all move forward . i have a sister , another sister , her name is sarah . hayden : how wonderful . there 's two of you . elizabeth : she lives in california , and i do n't see her very often , and you 're here . so i do n't know , maybe we can figure out a way to be sisters . hayden : you really do n't know how to read the room . i did n't come over here to celebrate our newfound sisterhood . elizabeth : then why are you here ? hayden : to give you this . [ scene_break ] heather : are you here for more money ? franco : money , please . i 'm here for you . heather : i heard you reference money on the phone call . the last time you were here , you asked me for a loan . franco : and you turned it down . heather : yes , and instead of respecting my decision , you went ahead and forced me to tell you about elizabeth and hayden being sisters . franco : i was just trying to help you out . clearly you were burdened with that secret . i thought you might want to get it off your chest . heather : that little secret was my income stream . was . put the emphasis on was . and since you destroyed my confidence , well , now elizabeth and hayden know they are sisters . franco : okay . but the thing about that is that it was going to come out sooner or later , right ? heather : oh , stop it . who cares ? the bank of heather is closed . franco : no , no , no . wait . hold on . i can explain . i had to tell . heather : why ? franco : because of the gh killer . [ scene_break ] paul : tracy , why do you think my daughter had something to do with sabrina 's death ? tracy : because sabrina is a little younger than susan , and it 's only natural after what happened that you would think of your own child and how easy it is to lose someone you love . paul : well , susan is always on my mind as are all of my children . and , yeah , sabrina 's death really hit me . tracy : so maybe it 's time for you to see your daughter or , at the very least , talk to her . paul : i do n't want to bother susan with this . i think the best way for me to handle my feelings about this is to stay on top of the case . i know that detective falconeri had taken monica 's statements . tracy : he did . and it was a very thorough interview . i do n't think there 's a single question that you could ask monica that dante has already asked her . paul : well , i 'm the district attorney , and i conduct my own interviews . so if you 'd be so kind to ask the security detail to step aside for a minute , i 'd like to ask monica some questions about the man who attacked her . [ scene_break ] alexis : get out . julian : i understand . i understand why you feel you need protection from me , alexis . alexis : well , that 's real progress for you , julian , because you did hold a knife to my throat and try to kill me . julian : i think we both know the truth that nothing would have happened , because i love you . alexis : yeah , and you have a sick and twisted way of showing it . julian : alexis , what happened that night , it has haunted me ever since . i never meant to scare you like that . no matter how much you betrayed me . alexis : how much i betrayed you ? oh , you mean that wire that i wore to exonerate myself , because you did n't take the fall for your crime ? julian : you know , i 'm going to leave , alexis , because obviously there 's no point in going over everything that happened . alexis : yeah , there 's no point in pointing out how stupid i was for believing in you . julian : i did n't come to fight with you , so i 'll keep my distance . alexis : if that were true , you 'd be gone already . julian : i will leave , but not before i give you something , something you want . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i do n't understand . hayden : it was your spleen that was injured , not your brain . it 's a bill . elizabeth : yeah , i got that . hayden : and i 've got expenses . thanks to you , they are growing exponentially . lawyers are n't cheap . i have to pay for both mine and my mother 's . elizabeth : you do n't honestly expect me to -- hayden : to cover my bills ? yes , i do . i 'm a widow , elizabeth . nikolas is dead , and i have no spousal support . those diamonds were my only asset . elizabeth : they did n't belong to you . they belonged to the people raymond berlin swindled . hayden : my problem is that i 'm broke , and i 've got to get my mother out of prison , so you 're going to provide me the funds to save her . it 's the least you can do in exchange for the blood i gave to save your life . [ scene_break ] heather : the gh killer ? franco : yeah , i 'm sure you 've heard . heather : yes , i have . but why would you need to reveal that elizabeth and hayden are sisters because of the gh killer ? franco : because that savage pushed elizabeth down a flight of stairs and her spleen was ruptured , and she was going to die if she did n't get a blood transfusion . heather : that 's what blood donations are for . you still have n't explained . franco : yeah , elizabeth has a very rare blood type . hayden has the same blood type . hayden gave elizabeth her blood to save her life , and then afterwards , i walked in on the two of them . they were fighting and i was forced to tell the secret , and i 'm sorry that that has compromised your revenue stream . heather : compromised it ? it 's obliterated it . franco : look , i 'm in a financial crisis myself . general hospital is closed so i 'm not getting a paycheck . and so i 'm going to need for you to go back to your nest egg and give me some more money , so that i can take care of the both of us . heather : now i 'm really confused . take care of elizabeth ? i thought you were sweet on elizabeth . franco : i am . i like her . i like her a lot . heather : then why did you push her down the stairs ? [ scene_break ] paul : monica could be the key to this case . and since she 's had some rest , she may remember more than she told detective falconeri . tracy : her doctors were very specific . she needs to rest . that means no more questions from law enforcement or anybody else . she needs peace and quiet . paul : in the quartermaine house ? tracy : i think you 're overestimating monica 's importance . the only clue that she 's come up with is that she recognizes the killer 's cologne . she swears she 's smelled it somewhere in this house . dillon : now i 'm really glad i do n't wear cologne . paul : since it 's obvious i 'm not going to get a chance to interview monica today , i 'm going to head back to the station and see if detective falconeri has any more leads . tracy : would you at least consider talking to susan ? i really think reaching out would do both of you a world of good . paul : i 'll think about it . thanks , tracy . tracy : okay . let 's find susan . [ scene_break ] morgan : ah , you want to read it ? why do you want to read it ? kiki : it 's always good to have a second set of eyes look at your work . morgan : mmm . you have n't been particularly supportive of my return to school . kiki : no . i was just kind of thrown by it . you were so happy working at perks . morgan : i was . i still am , but i need to be realistic . i need to get some type of degree if i want to do anything better with my life . kiki : then let me read the paper . i promise , i will only focus on grammatical stuff . morgan : kiki , i said no , okay ? what 's going on here ? do you not trust me ? kiki : no , i 'm just trying to help you . morgan : why ? because you think i 'm going to fail at this like i fail at everything else ? kiki : that 's not true . morgan : you do not think i can succeed , do you ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i do n't want anything from you . julian : my mistake . i was under the impression that you wanted a divorce . everything 's signed . you can check . alexis : put it right there , and i 'll get it later . julian : okay . indulge me one last question , though . what exactly happened at my trial ? i mean , after my confession was tossed out on a technicality , you were essentially the prosecution 's star witness . you blew your testimony . why ? you 're a lawyer . you knew exactly what that jury needed to hear , and yet you could barely get a coherent word out . you tell me , was that because of me ? alexis : of course , it was because of you . is n't that your smug , your guilty face , my husband , who i tried to build a life with , tried to kill me . i had one chance , one chance to bring you to justice , and i blew it . julian : no , you 're too good to choke like that , alexis . unless it was deliberate . alexis : deliberate ? julian : yeah . deliberate . did you do it on purpose to save me ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i ca n't thank you enough for the blood donation , but money i ca n't do . hayden : you 've worked at the hospital for years . surely you have some type of savings or retirement plan . elizabeth : my salary barely covers my household expenses . i go paycheck to paycheck . any money left over goes to my boys . hayden : let 's call their father and ask about his long - lost daughter . does he even know about me ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] honestly , i do n't know . hayden : there 's no time like the present . let 's call jeff webber together , shall we ? [ scene_break ] franco : i would never hurt elizabeth . how can you even think that ? heather : look , i 'm your mother . you can be truthful with me . franco : i am being truthful with you . heather : please , just admit that removing the tumor did n't change a thing . you 're still who you are . my son . a killer . and as your mother , i can understand those -- franco : okay , you just need to stop . stop . heather : relax , i 'm just trying to figure out the artistic concept . franco : there 's no artistic concept . there 's no series . heather : okay . just a little piece of advice . from one artist to another , be careful . cover your tracks . franco : why are you saying this ? i did n't kill those people . [ scene_break ] kiki : one , i 'm not checking up on you and , two , i absolutely think you can succeed . i 'm just worried that -- morgan : see , you have your doubts . that 's what i 'm talking about . kiki : i 'm just concerned that you 're putting too much pressure on yourself . morgan : you know what ? i am under a little bit of pressure right now . but that 's all , right ? everyone has stress . it 's how you manage your stress . kiki : you 're managing ? morgan : yes , i am . there 's days that are harder than others but that 's normal , too , right ? kiki : right . and i 'm sorry if you think that i 'm hovering . morgan : hey , i do n't want you to apologize for caring . it makes me want to work harder . i want you to be proud of me . kiki : i am proud of you . i could n't be more proud of you . [ scene_break ] dillon : i do n't think dad wants us reaching out to susan on his behalf . tracy : he is not going to admit that he 's in a really bad place . i think it would help if he were to hear from susan . if you could just reach out to her , encourage her to call . sweetheart , i know it would help . dillon : maybe you 're right . after the verdict came down on julian , it 's clear how upset dad was . maybe a phone call to susan would be a good thing . i think i still have her number to her shop . tracy : i 'm way ahead of you . suki 's , bar harbor , maine . just push call . dillon : voice mail . hi . this is dillon quartermaine . i 'm trying to reach susan hornsby . [ scene_break ] paul : hello , sasha . sasha : mr. hornsby , i was just about to tell susan you called .

[ scene_break ] kiki : so how long until you 're finished ? morgan : i am on the last paragraph . kiki : great . then i 'm going to finish doing my errands , and you finish your paper . morgan : uh - huh . and then ? kiki : and then we will celebrate you turning in your first pcu paper by eating something fried and delicious . morgan : that sounds good . thanks . kiki : all right . i 'll text you in a moment and be back . morgan : all right . morgan : [ sighs ] this is bad . this is really , really , really bad . all right . it will be just this once . just this once . [ sighs as he pulls out his credit card to purchase a paper online ] [ scene_break ] heather : i 'm you 're mother , franco . i understand everything about you . franco : you 're way off base on this one , mommy dearest . i 'm not that person anymore . i take no joy from watching people suffer and/or die . heather : well , with or without the tumor , i know you need conflict to create and find the darkness deep inside you , and so you should just let it all out . let it all out . you 'll feel better . franco : you know , i was a suspect at one point . yeah , it 's true . the police brought me in . but i was exonerated , because elizabeth believes in me and because -- wait , one other thing , what was i going to say ? i 'm completely innocent . heather : you really did n't kill those people ? franco : i really did n't kill those people . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . heather : but i was so sure you did . i -- i -- franco : you -- you what ? mother , what have you done ? [ scene_break ] hayden : it 's time to let jeff know that i 'm his daughter . maybe he 'll be willing to help me in my time of need . elizabeth : i 'm not putting you in contact with my father . hayden : our father . elizabeth : i need to speak with him privately . i do n't know what my mother knows or what this will do to them . hayden : again , it 's not my problem . what my problem is is that i need money and since dad is a doctor -- elizabeth : for god 's sake , hayden , he 's not a plastic surgeon in beverly hills . he 's a humanitarian . he does aid work in other countries . hayden : so my father , the doctor , is basically broke . elizabeth : and maybe that 's why your mother let raymond berlin believe you were his child . because he could provide the life that she wanted . hayden : it 's not my fault that my mother is a gold - digging liar . elizabeth : no . and she 's responsible for her choices just like you are . you chose to lie , you chose to run cons and chase money above everything else . that 's on you , hayden . hayden : do n't you presume to lecture me . elizabeth : i 'm your sister , right ? who else is going to tell you the truth . i think it 's time for you to take this opportunity , stand on your own two feet and get a job . hayden : i had a job at elq , and i loved it . i had a real knack for it , but tracy quartermaine fired me the first chance she got . and even though my biological father is jeff webber , humanitarian , i was raised by raymond berlin , the biggest swindler in wall street history , which means no one will ever hire me again .

[ scene_break ] alexis : get your hands off me . julian : i 'm only trying to stop you from making a mistake . alexis : the only mistake i ever made was marrying you . you 're sick , you 're twisted , you make my skin crawl . julian : you know , you say that , alexis , and yet you could not condemn me to the jury . your subconscious would not let you , because you still love me . alexis : i hate you with every fiber in my being . we are done . we are through . we are finished . i did not throw that trial . it was not in my subconscious . you 're a fool if you think otherwise . julian : you 've made yourself perfectly clear . you want to believe that you hate me , and you wanted to see me punished . i get it . alexis : wrong . see , i actually believe that . julian : what i believe is that what happened in that courtroom was fate . because the way that we 've loved each other , alexis , that does n't just stop . look , i 'm not trying to pressure you . and i 'm sorry if you thought i was being lovesick or delusional , but you need to know that in order for me to keep going , i need to trust that some day you 'll remember just how much we meant to each other . alexis : you do what you have to do . and i 'm going to do what i have to do . commissioner ashford , this is alexis davis . i need you to send the paperwork for a restraining order . and i need you to make sure that julian jerome is never allowed anywhere near me .

[ scene_break ] heather : never mind . we 're talking about you and those hospital killings , they sound a lot like your kind of project . franco : that really hurts my feelings that you just automatically assume that i 'm the killer . heather : can you blame me ? considering your past ? besides , i 've done plenty i 'm not proud of . franco : oh , i know you have . heather : yeah . you never came running to my rescue . franco : and you came running to my rescue ? in what way did you run to my rescue ? heather : well , let 's suffice it to say that i was trying to show you that i loved you and that i want the best for you . and that 's why i 'm not going to give you any more money . i want you to be your own man . so fly out of the nest , and stay away from my nest egg . franco : i have no other source of income . gh just closed . mercy wo n't touch me . heather : even better . you can paint full time instead of dabbling on the weekends . come on . take this as an opportunity and make your mama feel proud for everything that she sacrificed for you .

[ scene_break ] franco : hey , how was your alone time ? elizabeth : i was n't exactly alone . hayden showed up . franco : why ? what did she want ? elizabeth : money . it was sad . i kind of thought she was coming over here to make a sisterly connection , and all she wanted was a handout . she even threatened to hit you up . franco : well , she 's welcome to try . i 'm not giving a dime to hayden . elizabeth : because you 're spending too much money on me ? franco : you need to stop worrying about me , okay ? i 'm a big boy . i 'll worry about my finances . you worry about your recovery . that 's your job . elizabeth : i do n't know what i 'd do without you . franco : i hope you do n't have to find out . elizabeth : i 'm so exhausted . franco : okay . elizabeth : i think i need to take a nap . franco : then let 's get you upstairs . elizabeth : hey , franco , why are you going so far out of your way for me ? franco : because i would do anything for you . even try and be a better person . maybe even the person who deserves to be with you .

both tracy and dillon observe that paul 's behavior is very odd and out of character when he appears to be blaming himself for sabrina getting murdered . yet they have no suspicion that he murdered her and tracy is convinced that paul simply blames himself for what happened to sabrina due to his estranged daughter , susan . she privately tracks down susan hornsby and is shocked to find out where susan is now living . right then , we see paul visit a private clinic and he goes to visit a catatonic and completely non - responsive young woman whom we see is his daughter susan . he attempts to talk to her but she does not speak or respond . he then reveals that the reason he 's killed patients and staff at the hospital is due to their being responsible for what happened to his daughter . he assures her he `` got rid of all of them with the exception of monica quartermaine `` . right then , unknown to paul and his daughter , tracy finds him there , overhears and observes them and is shocked . after elizabeth is out of the hospital , hayden comes to see her and informs elizabeth she believes she owes her money because elizabeth almost got her arrested and prevented her from having the diamonds , hayden has no money after nikolas is gone and elizabeth owes her because hayden donated the blood to save elizabeth 's life . yet elizabeth refuses and affirms she has a clear conscience , since she works , is now out of a job , has hospital bills to pay as well as providing for her boys . franco also finds out that his mom will no longer help him and has no money to give him after the secret is out that naomi got pregnant by jeff webber with hayden . morgan reveals that he is pushing himself to attend and pass classes in marketing and is very afraid he will fail . he also indicates he may be paying for a service to cheat . yet dillon informs him that he knows of a way for professors to access information and catch students who are cheating or purchasing papers they do not have to write themselves . julian returns to alexis who tells him she will never let him near hear again , calls the cops and is ready to serve him with a restraining order . he concludes he will leave , for now , but she needs to know that they are forever connected and their love will never die .

[ scene_break ] quinn : amy , this is going to be huge . amy : hard to believe it 's really happening ! quinn : oh , look , i 'm sorry . i think you and nathan were a bit put off by my firm 's tiny deception . amy : you mean the fine print in nathan 's contract requiring him to reveal himself today , despite what it may cost him . quinn : well , any `` cost `` to him will be overshadowed when the book sales skyrocket , and then the two of you will be thanking me for making you rich and famous ! amy : honestly , quinn ... i 'm not crazy about how it happened , but ... i truly am excited about today . quinn : well , and so you should be . and -- quinn : oh . well , i 'm not excited about that display . excuse me , darling . this is a book launch , not a jenga tournament . break up these books . break them up . nina : hey . amy : nina ! nina : yeah . amy : you 're so early ! nina : yeah , yeah . i just wanted to sure that my crew , all my camera guys , get the good spots for the exclusive that crimson was promised . amy : that sounds like a quinn problem . i 'll go get her . nina : no , no ! i wanted to talk to you . i have n't had a chance to talk to my brother . but let me ask you . is he okay ... with the whole world to knowing that he 's ask man landers ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you need to put the rest of your tux on , or we 're gon na be late for the book signing . nathan : oh , i wish it was over already , or , better yet , not even happening . maxie : but it is , so you need to get dressed . nathan : i mean , this could jeopardize my career , maxie . my credibility takes a hit if the truth ever gets out this is fraud . maxie : which is why i 've taken very clever steps to make sure that does not happen . nathan : and i love you so much for that , but i got to ask -- i mean , do you really think this is gon na work ? maxie : it 's basically foolproof . trust me . when this is all over , everyone 's going home a winner . and the best part of my brilliant plan is that nobody will ever know you were a part of this deception . and our lives can finally go back to normal . nathan : oh , i ca n't wait . maxie : really ? nathan : mm - hmm . maxie : then go get dressed . nathan : okay . maxie : andale , andale . text amy driscoll . `` will be there soon . `` send . [ knock on door ] maxie : spinelli ! hey . spinelli : sorry to come over unannounced , but i - i had to see you . maxie : why ? is something wrong with georgie ? spinelli : oh , no , no , no , no . our offspring continues to flourish in our absence , which fills me with both joy and guilt . no , no , no . i 'm here because of ask man landers . [ scene_break ] bobbie : so , what big game - changer is happening today ? carly : well , you ca n't tell anybody . this has to stay between us . you ca n't even tell felicia . bobbie : no problem , but why ? carly : because i do n't know if what i 'm about to do is the right thing to do . bobbie : oh . huh . anything that brings nelle down is the right thing in my book . carly : well , except i kind of told michael that i would accept his decision about nelle . bobbie : until ? carly : until i got a text from sharon grant . bobbie : as in zachary grant , nelle 's late fiancé ? carly : as in his sister . and she agreed to meet me here in port charles to tell me all about nelle . bobbie : and all of this happened just out of the blue ? carly : i know . it 's weird timing , is n't it , do n't you think ? bobbie : yeah . well , you know , maybe felicia 's investigation stirred things up , or maybe somebody who knows nelle saw the pictures that michael posted of them on instagram and it got back to sharon . carly : i 'm less concerned about why sharon reached out than what she has to say about nelle . i mean , who knows ? maybe she 's some bitter , rich snob that just hates nelle for being poor . and if that 's the case , i can finally let all of this go . bobbie : well , look at it this way . the worst thing that can happen is ... you clear nelle . carly : that 's the best thing that can happen . bobbie : mm . best for you , but the worst for me . carly : [ laughing ] oh , god . bobbie : ohh . that girl could rescue kittens from the rain , and i 'd still hate her . carly : sonny thinks it 's all gon na blow up in my face -- it 's gon na push michael away . bobbie : michael is your son . he 's my grandson . this is for his own good . do n't back down . carly : well , i think it 's officially too late for that . [ scene_break ] finn : cassandra talked to me about her medical history , and she talked , and she talked , and she talked . and over the course of that very detailed conversation , she told me about a litany of doctors -- many of whose names that i knew and respected their work -- had failed to determine what was ailing her . anna : that 's exactly what we want ! finn : no . no , no , no . that 's not what we want , 'cause what 's ailing cassandra is actually quite simple to diagnose . she suffers from very common allergies , and she also happens to be a full - blown hypochondriac . anna : i know . i told you that ! it 's perfect . finn : the perfectness of this situation has failed to overtake me . anna : well , she 's just being dramatic , or she does n't want to seem too needy or eager . or she could be playing you , hoping that you 're gon na come back , demanding to see her , telling her that you 're the only person who can help her . finn : how many french movies did you watch while i was gone ? anna : oh , everything you 're telling me sounds exactly the way i planned it . it 's all hunky - dory . finn : hunky - dory ? anna : mm - hmm . finn : you 're wrong . it 's over . cassandra told me she doubted if we 'd ever see each other again . [ scene_break ] quinn : oh , nina , darling ! nina : hello , quinn ! quinn : oh , mwah , mwah ! is n't this all just so wonderful ? nina : who can believe it ? quinn : well , believe it . i 'm about to make sexy - dorable nathan west the next big thing ! all the women want him , and all the men want to be him . there are no limits . nina : and apparently no boundaries . quinn : exactly . oh , he 's just a little slice of heaven on earth for all of us . [ laughter ] quinn : oh , got to run . nina : [ laughs ] amy : [ sighs ] nina : [ sighs ] if this is slightly as big as quinn thinks , you know what 's gon na happen next ? amy : we 'll sell lots and lots of books ? nina : no . people are gon na be more interested . they 're gon na dig even deeper . amy : that wo n't happen ! nina : why not ? amy : [ sighs ] because the only people who know the truth are you , me , nathan , and maxie . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you asked me to uncover ask man landers ' true identity . maxie : that 's right . i did . um , just forget it . [ chuckles ] i did . i mean , i forgot that i asked you to find out his identity . spinelli : but you did ask , and you did n't rescind that request , which ... makes what i have to tell you all that -- all that more urgent . maxie ... maxie : yes ? spinelli : ... i 'm sorry . maxie : for what ? spinelli : i got so preoccupied with jason going into long - term care and working long - distance for my paying clients that i -- i neglected my promise to you . and now his identity 's going to be revealed anytime anyhow ! maxie : oh . so , you do n't -- no worries . just -- just forget it . spinelli : really ? because i take pride in not letting my clients down , especially when those clients are friends , especially when that friend is ... you . maxie : did i pay you for this ? spinelli : no . maxie : then i got my money 's worth ! no harm , no foul . and , like you said , they 're about to announce it anyway , so let 's just forget the investigation ! spinelli : you seem unusually ... okay about this . maxie : because it 's fine . let 's just forget about it -- all of it , okay ? nathan : ready or not , here 's ... spinelli . spinelli : detective west ! why are you -- why are you in a tux ? [ scene_break ] sharon : carly corinthos ? carly : yes , yes . hi . this is my mom , bobbie spencer . this is sharon grant , zachary 's sister . bobbie : we 're so sorry for your loss . sharon : thank you . bobbie : well , i 'll leave you to it . sharon : okay . bobbie : it was good to meet you , sharon . carly : why do n't we sit down ? do you want some coffee or breakfast ? i mean , you did come all this way . sharon : no , thank you . i 'm fine . carly : i have to tell you , i am surprised that you reached out to me . sharon : my brother was a wonderful person . my family and i , we 've done our very best to put this loss behind us and move on . carly : i understand . i , um , lost my son almost a year ago . sharon : so you do know . not too long ago , an investigator contacted us about nelle . they wanted information but were n't forthcoming as to why . so i hired my own pi to find out . that 's how i learned that janelle benson was now nelle hayes , living here in port charles , and working for you . carly : oh , she does n't work for me . she used to , but she has n't for months . sharon : she did something to you , did n't she -- something awful ? so , before i tell you how janelle destroyed my family , tell me -- what has she done to yours ? [ scene_break ] nelle : wow ! we could n't even make it to the bed ! michael : yeah . it makes me wonder what you 're hiding . nelle : who , me ? michael : you do n't got pets , do you ? because that 's strictly against the terms of your new lease . nelle : no . no animals here . michael : okay . nelle : now i have to focus . nina gave me the day off to move in , even though i technically never moved out . michael : well , as your new landlord , i am giving you a special bonus . ta - da . nelle : i get a hug ? michael : no . yeah , you can have a hug if you want to have a hug , but , uh , no . you get me . i took the day off so i could help you unpack . nelle : michael , you did not have to do that . michael : nah , it 's too late . according to the fine print in your new lease , i am obligated to help you . so , sorry . nelle : you know what you are ? michael : presumptuous ? impulsive ? what ? nelle : you 're perfect . i wish we could just stay like this all the time -- just you and me , no one else to bother us . michael : yeah . well , i think if it was just you and me , you 'd get pretty bored pretty fast . nelle : i do n't know . i can say right now , this is the happiest i 've been in my life . michael : well , that 's sweet of you to say . nelle : it 's true . michael : look , nelle , you do n't need to make it sound like i 'm the only guy you ever cared about . what happened to zach was terrible , but you were engaged to the guy . nelle : i was . a - and i did care about him , but ... michael , it was nothing like this . michael : no , of course not . when we fall in love with someone new , it 's always different . nelle : it 's not just that . it 's -- look , after zach died , i think i took it for granted that i would never be that happy again . and now look . like , here we are . michael : well , i 'm glad i could help . nelle : you know , i just want to put all the bad stuff behind me and ... all the mistakes i made with your mom and your family , zach and his family , and just move forward , because ... our future is all that matters . michael : that sounds like a plan . nelle : you know what the first part of that plan is ? michael : unpacking these boxes . nelle : it 's unsettling how well you can read my mind . michael : well , i run a conglomerate . it 's my job to anticipate things . nelle : mm . [ scene_break ] nina : i hope you 're right about this . i mean , my brother is risking everything today . when the world knows that he 's ask man landers , [ sighs ] anything can happen . amy : well , i did n't want it to go this way , either , but what 's done is done . and your brother is fine , so you need to chill ! nina : oh , you need to calm down , missy . let me tell you something . i appreciate all the service that your brother has given to this country , and i think what you 're doing for him is admirable and noble . amy : thank you . nina : but ... if this ends up hurting my brother , you 'll regret it . am i clear ? amy : [ sighs ] quinn : well , everything is in place and ready to go , except for one tiny little thing . where is nathan ? amy : i just got a text . he 'll be here soon . quinn : no , he should be here now ! what is the hold - up ? [ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm going to the ask man landers book signing today , and since nathan was n't working , i decided to take him with . spinelli : oh ! i did n't realize the event was black tie . maxie : well , uh , it 's not for everybody else , but when you 're escorting maxie jones ... it 's black tie ! spinelli : of course . it 's good to see some things never change . maxie : yeah , like me being fashionably late . nathan : you know , if we do n't leave soon , we 're gon na unfashionably tardy , so we should probably get going . spinelli : well , by my calculations , if you were to leave now , you 'd arrive a few minutes early , if not just on time . maxie : well , i - i know , but i want to get there early , so i can talk to ask man landers himself . spinelli : well , could n't you do that when he signs your book ? maxie : i need more time than it would take for him to sign that stupid book . i want to scoop nina by getting an interview with him right underneath her nose , so she takes me seriously and considers giving me my job back . spinelli : you know , i 'm actually kind of a fan myself . maxie : spinelli , we got to go ! spinelli : well , no ! but maybe we could all go together ! i 'd love to see him in the flesh ! maxie : absolutely not . the guest list is locked , and you 're not on it . spinelli : but that 's easy to -- maxie : great seeing you ! love you ! we 'll talk later . [ sighs ] thank god i took care of that . [ scene_break ] anna : cassandra loves the attention , does n't she ? so she 's gon na change her mind , and she 's gon na ask you to come back to see her . finn : or maybe [ blows ] she 's on to us . anna : did it seem like she was on to us ? finn : how would i know ? look , she looked me in the eye and said , `` we 're not gon na see each other anymore . `` what more to do you need ? anna : right . i think that we should -- finn : you know what ? i do n't even care what you think . and do n't pretend this is about diamonds or being some sort of monument to justice . this is about that guy valentin cassadine and your fixation on him . anna : i do n't have a fixation on him . finn : oh , whatever ! he 's the object of your obsession , so do it on your own time . i 'm out . anna : no . that 's not possible . finn : yeah , it is . i 'm leaving tonight . and if you want to make good on your blackmail threat , go right ahead . anna : ohh . [ scene_break ] maxie : so , back before i knew you were pretending to be ask man landers , i asked spinelli to do some digging for me and find out his real identity . fortunately , spinelli has not had time for that investigation . nathan : oh . so , spinelli still does n't know ? maxie : no , and as long we keep him away from the book signing , he never will , although if we had told him the truth , it probably would n't have been the worst thing in the world . nathan : i know we can trust the guy , but , you know , the more people that know ... maxie : you 're right . we do n't need to involve him . but if we want my plan to work , we got to go now . [ scene_break ] spinelli : uh , nurse driscoll , what are you -- what are -- what are you doing here ? amy : why are you here [ chuckles ] before the event has even started ? no one 's been let in yet . spinelli : i , uh ... have my ways . [ both chuckle ] amy : are you on the guest list ? spinelli : oh , yes , indeed i am . `` d. spinelli . `` `` d `` is for `` damian . `` amy : yep . that 's you . spinelli : hey , you know , when we were at the hospital and we discussed ask man landers , you never indicated that you were somehow professionally involved , and yet , clearly , you are . amy : i 'm just helping out . spinelli : yeah . may i ask in what capacity ? amy : we 're not ready to start yet , so you 'll have to wait in the lobby with the rest of the guests . spinelli : um , but w -- amy : maybe we can talk later . spinelli : what ? oh . [ scene_break ] michael : oh . oh , damn it . nelle : what is it ? michael : my grandmother is being honored at the hospital for her many years of service . they 're throwing this little party to celebrate . it 's family only . nelle : oh . okay . well , have a good time . michael : you 're invited . nelle : you mean she told you you could bring a plus - one ? michael : well , she actually mentioned you by name . we do n't have to stay long . nelle : oh , i 'm not going . i mean , you know i would do anything for you , but , invitation or not , putting me in the same room as bobbie spencer feels like a really bad idea . does n't it ? michael : well , i mean , my grandmother would n't want to ruin her own party . nelle : maybe not , but if anything went wrong , i would be the one that would be blamed , no matter whose fault it was , and i do n't want to put you the awkward position of having to defend me to your grandmother and to your mother , because , of course , she 'll take bobbie 's side . so i 'd rather just stop the problem before it starts and just avoid them both , you know ? [ scene_break ] carly : nelle did cause trouble for my family . sharon : by any chance , was she involved with your son before he died ? carly : no . they barely knew each other . what happened with nelle and my family -- well , actually , it was a misunderstanding . sharon : i 'm sure that 's exactly what she wanted you to think . carly : the misunderstanding was legitimately not her fault . now , how she handled it -- well , that 's a different story . sharon : i just hope nelle never takes anything precious from you or from the people you love the way she did from me and my mine . bobbie : so , sweetheart , i will call you later . carly : yes . bobbie : okay ? carly : yes , okay . bobbie : all right . sharon , it was very good to meet you . take care . sharon : you , too . carly : i want to get back to why you contacted me . i know some of the details that surround your brother 's passing . i know that your parents and the police suspect nelle . sharon : we do , for good reason . carly : okay , you know , nelle is not my favorite person , or , otherwise , i would n't have agreed to meet with you . but she never took anything from me -- i mean , not a post - it , not a paper clip . and she had every opportunity . sharon : did she lie to you ? carly : like a rug . every word our of her mouth to my family was a lie from the second she came to town until ... we discovered why . sharon : that `` legitimate `` misunderstanding you mentioned ? do n't underestimate her , ms. corinthos . the most important thing you need to know about janelle , the place that she is most dangerous , is her talent for deceit -- not just the lies but the way she used little tricks to worm her way in before striking . you need to know what led up to my brother 's death and how janelle was ultimately able to get away with murder . [ scene_break ] quinn : we ca n't hold the guests in the lobby forever . we have to start ! where is nathan ? nathan : right here . quinn : oh , thank heaven . maxie : hi , you must be -- quinn : now , look , when the crowd comes in , you 're going to be hidden right over there . and then we 're going to cue you when it 's time for your entrance . and then -- excuse me . what on earth do you think you 're doing ? maxie : i 'm introducing ask man landers . amy : maxie , no ! quinn : look , i do n't know who you think you are , but this is not the plan . maxie : actually , it is now . and i would like to introduce you to all the ask man landers ! fellas ? quinn : what ? [ scoffs ] [ amy : chuckles softly ] [ scene_break ] anna : okay , you 're right . you 're right . finn : oh , i know . wait . about what ? anna : that this is personal , about valentin , because ... we have a past . but this case -- it 's not about the past . this is about the present . finn : oh . anna : [ sighs ] finn : i 'm not a spy , anna . i 'm a doctor , and i 'm a recovering addict , and the last couple of weeks have been ... pretty -- pretty bad . and it 's important for me to be honest with myself right now . anna : i should be honest with you , too . i did n't -- i do n't want to make you do this , because you helped me , you know ? you diagnosed my pv ... and everything . i guess blackmailing you into helping me take a criminal down is n't the best way to say , `` thank you . `` finn : it 's terrible . you 're very bad at this . anna : i know . there 's a lot of people who would agree with you . finn : listen . [ sighs ] you need to get a professional in here , you know ? you got to bring in a pro , 'cause i blew it . i blew it , and , you know , maybe i 'm a little edgy right now because , as much as i did n't want to be here , and i did n't want to help you ... i did n't want to let you down , either . anna : you have n't . 'cause cassandra , she 's -- you know , she 's all dramatic , and i - i think that she 'll reach out to you again . finn : what would make you say something like that ? anna : well , because , unlike you , i do n't underestimate your charm . finn : my charm ? have you even met me ? i 'm the opposite of charming ! anna : oh , and the fact that you believe that 's true makes you even more appealing . [ scene_break ] nina : absolutely fascinating . quinn : i do n't understand . who are you , and why are you trying to hijack my event ? maxie : i am a friend of amy and nathan 's , and , as you can see , pr is my life . when my bff amy confided in me about the unveiling of ask man landers -- quinn : which she was not supposed to do ! maxie : um , i think the words you 're looking for are , `` thank you , amy ! thank you so much for convincing your genius friend to rescue my event . `` quinn : my event does not need rescuing ! maxie : but it does need improvement . watch and learn . having five ask man landers work the room , handing out pre - signed copies of the book while mingling with the customers -- that will compounded the mystery of his identity instead of reveal it . quinn : well , that 's really interesting , but i think i 'd rather have -- nina : no , no , no , no , no ! wait , wait , wait , wait . um , young -- young lady , tell us more . maxie : well , everyone will think his or her man of mystery is the real ask man landers , and they 'll be guessing which one is which all over social media . amy : that 's not what was agreed on ! maxie : well , your pal nathan thought it was a good idea . did n't you ? nathan : afraid i did . nina : so do i . amy : [ chuckles ] okay , then . i will leave you to it . nathan : amy , wait . quinn : hold it right there ! i have got 30 seconds to make a decision before the barbarians storm the gates . and as much as i find this young woman 's methods unorthodox and extremely annoying , this idea that trixie -- maxie : maxie . quinn : maxie has ... is quite brilliant , and i think we 're going to go with it ! [ chuckles ] um , you . man : yes , ma'am ? quinn : what do you know about , uh ... car repair , plumbing , and the human heart ? man : i know that if you have patience , and you really listen , that all three of those things can turn out good as new . quinn : [ laughing ] wow . i hope they 're all this good . maxie : see ? ! it 's working ! nathan : yeah , thanks to you . maxie : okay . i 'd better mingle , make sure all the other ask man landers are pulling their weight . nathan : hey . you should go back inside . maxie 's plan 's working . amy : [ sniffles ] great . just great . [ sniffles ] nathan : well , i thought you 'd be pleased . amy : i wish you would have clued me in on the plan , or that there even was a plan . now quinn thinks i blew off our non - disclosure agreement , and i did n't ! nathan : hey , hey , hey , hey . it 's all right . everything 's gon na be okay , all right ? [ scene_break ] sharon : my brother 's death was a shock . i mean , how could it be anything else ? but looking back ... how janelle -- i 'm sorry -- how nelle pulled it off was a sick sort of genius . carly : how do you mean ? sharon : in the beginning , she was so sweet -- unassuming and self - deprecating . carly : i can only imagine . sharon : then she did something so insidious , none of us even realized it was happening . nelle would always have some reason why she and zach could n't make family events . it started with family dinners . they 'd miss one here and there , and then the absences became more frequent . of course , they were two young people in love . carly : so why would n't they want to spend more time alone ? sharon : exactly . after a while , zach started missing family functions , which was unusual , and then family trips , which was unheard of . before we knew it , we were n't seeing him at all . and when they would call or stop by , zach was cool , even defensive . we stopped hearing that great laugh of his . carly : why ? sharon : nelle had begun to convince him that we thought she was n't good enough for him -- that we called her `` trash `` behind his back . of course , none of it was true , but , by then , what could we do ? zach announced that they were getting married , and we could either accept nelle or -- or he 'd cut us out of his life . we did n't know it at the time , but zach had already changed his will , left everything to her . and what do you know ? no sooner was the will signed than she dragged him off to vacation , in maine , of all places ! carly : lots of people vacation in maine . sharon : no , not -- not zach . he was a southern boy through and through . hated cold . was n't all that fond of roughing it , either . his favorite part of any outdoor excursion was the wind - down afterward , sitting around with his feet up . [ voice breaking ] nelle had arranged it so that they would be all alone . and -- and he went along ... because he trusted her . [ crying ] got in that kayak in that icy water and ... carly : hey . you know ... here . there . we do n't have to go through every detail right now . we do n't , you know ? maybe we can talk about this later . when are you leaving ? sharon : um ... i had n't planned on leaving until tomorrow , at the earliest . but i would be -- `` happy `` is n't the right word . i would be willing to meet with you again , to tell you the rest and to answer any questions . carly : i appreciate that . sharon : as painful as it is to stare all this in the face again , i 'm very glad we met . you obviously think that nelle might be up to something . whatever it is , do n't let her get away with it . [ scene_break ] michael : want some coffee ? nelle : coffee . michael : all right . i 'll go . nelle : hey , michael ... about the party -- you know , if you -- if you really want me to go ... michael : oh , no . look , you 're right . we 'd just be asking for trouble if we go . i 'll , um -- i 'll take my grandmother out for a special dinner , and we 'll celebrate one - on - one . cool . nelle : i never meant to suggest that you should n't go . michael : if i show up , it 'll look like i 'm giving in . you know , i want them to think we 're out somewhere having a good time with each other . nelle : [ sighs ] i do n't know , michael . that just feels like one more thing they 're gon na be able to use against me . michael : maybe . maybe they will . but , look , at least they 'll know we 're serious about each other , right ? nelle : if you 're sure . michael : i 'm sure . look , it 'll all work out , all right ? trust me . okay . i 'll be back . nelle : all right . [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] finn : listen , i 've been called a lot of things in my day -- `` aloof , `` `` abrasive `` -- but no one 's ever called me `` charming . `` even hayden never -- no one thinks i 'm charming . anna : well , i disagree . finn : listen , i 've done everything you asked here , all right ? and you have my word . no matter what -- [ cell phone beeps ] finn : what happens , i 'll keep all this on the down - low . anna : what is it ? finn : it 's , uh -- it 's from cassandra . she changed her mind . she wants to see me again . [ scene_break ] quinn : this is really brilliant , and i am furious i did n't think about it myself . [ chuckles ] and i know exactly when we are going to reveal the true identity of ask man landers . never ! nina : ah ! [ laughs ] quinn : this is brilliant .

[ scene_break ] jason : i 'm giving you fair warning , durant . stay away from carly . john : you know , as much as i hate to admit it , i 'll have to compromise my principles when it comes to sonny . the man is , after all , my son - in - law . i 'll ignore the fact that he belongs in prison . you , on the other hand , are dirt under my feet . if you interfere with my relationship with my daughter in any way , i will come after you , and i will take you down . carly : john ? you need to understand something . you may be my biological father , but i 'm more loyal to jason than i will ever be to you .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : thank you , grandmother . now that you 've been gracious enough to confess to murder , emily and i can marry in peace . thank you . helena : i admitted no such thing . emily : oh , well , we all heard . right , tracy ? tracy : all i have been hearing for too tedious long is a bunch of bombastic hoo - ha about some ridiculous curse . emily , do n't you understand why i do n't approve this marriage ? who needs to be any closer to the cassadines ? they 're all nuts . emily : that 's funny because you did n't seem to think that way when you were working with helena . tracy : i chose to overcome some serious misgivings to join with helena to throw you an engagement party . i considered it an olive branch -- to show you my support despite my grave doubts . how was i supposed to know that in the middle of the festivities , she would start spouting arcane curses ? helena : i merely stated a fact -- nikolas and emily will never be happy together . tracy : can you give it a rest ? helena : oh . nikolas : you killed mary , intending to frame emily for it , then you dig up this nurse harris and pay her to lie and implicate emily . and then you kill her when she wanted to retract her statement . congratulations , tracy . your alliance with my grandmother here has made you an accomplice in two murders , and i 'd tread carefully from now on if i were you . if my grandmother doubts your loyalty , you 'll be next on her hit list . you have a pleasant evening .

[ scene_break ] jason : hey , try not to worry . morgan 's going to be fine . they 're just keeping him at the hospital to be extra careful . michael : what can i do to help ? jason : you can say a prayer . michael : i already did in the chapel with grandpa john . mommy says he 's her dad . jason : did carly tell you to call him `` grandpa `` ? michael : uh - huh . he seems nice , but it just feels weird . jason : ok -- um -- michael , if -- if it seems weird , you 're right . you never have to speak to john durant again . [ scene_break ] lois : this is perfect timing ! had you not been at the front door right as i was getting ready to knock , i might 've lost my courage and bailed . emily : you 're always welcome here , lois . lois : you know , i have been out on the pier so many times looking at this place , but never been inside until now . it is -- um -- certainly -- emily : gothic ? nikolas : oppressive ? lois : atmospheric ? emily : yeah , you should 've seen it before we degargoyled . lois : you know , i actually think that your family is even weirder than emily 's -- and that 's saying something . so how 'd you turn out to be so normal ? nikolas : well , i 'm not , really . lois : by the way , i am really sorry i did n't make the engagement party , but i had a prior commitment . but thank you . it was so sweet of you to invite me . nikolas : we did n't . emily : what he means is we did n't invite anyone . we did n't even know about the party . nikolas : helena and tracy ambushed us . emily : yeah , and then helena saw the need to put a curse on our marriage . lois : did n't she do that to some other couple a long time ago ? nikolas : laura and luke , yes , my mother . lois : laura , right . never fear , because the best way to counteract a curse is with a blessing , and i happen to have one right here . for you . emily : what is it ? lois : come here . i 'm going to open it up . take a look . emily : let 's see . what -- lois : it 's your grandmother 's dress . lila was kind enough to let me wear it when i got married to ned , and now it 's your turn . i think this should be enough to ward off any bad wishes from helena . [ scene_break ] mike : that -- that lousy playboy . now , listen , if jax hurts you , honey , i will personally wring his neck ! courtney : dad -- dad , jax does not have the power to hurt me , ok ? he just confirmed what i knew all along . he 's just a lowlife slime . mike : he won , did n't he ? and he broke your heart in the process . courtney : come on , dad . ahem . do n't you know me better than that ? i never intended on losing the bet because there is no way i would ever sleep with jax . mike : oh , good girl , honey . courtney : come on . please , you think i 'd fall for those ridiculous come - ons ? jax was playing me from the start , dad . i mean , all those trips , the dinners , the soulful conversations -- they 're all just tactics to lure me into bed . but it did n't work . jax finally met his match . i beat him at his own game , and i feel great . [ scene_break ] skye : looks like the bleeding 's slowing down . jax : you know , i do n't know whether to admire your ingenuity or be appalled at your bad judgment , because breaking out of prison is basically admitting you 're guilty . skye : i could n't very well sit around passively waiting to be exonerated , now , could i ? i have to find out who killed detective ross duncan so i can get on with my life . jax : well , just so you know , the entire police department is looking for you . skye : well , that is why i came here . i figured no one would suspect that i 'd be hiding out at my ex - husband 's . jax : i 'm willing to help you , but there 's something that you need to understand . i ca n't lose courtney in the process . so what do you need from me , other than a place to stay ? skye : well , i need some clothes , for starters , and i ca n't very well go to the lake house because i 'm sure there are police there looking for me , but i do have clothes at the quartermaines ' in my old room in my closet , so if you could grab some for me ? jax : sure . skye : great . and in the meantime , can i borrow your computer ? jax : what are you looking for ? skye : luke -- some clue to his whereabouts . jax : why are you looking for luke ? i mean , he 's the reason you 're in this mess in the first place . skye : not true . jax : well , if he had n't stopped you from calling the police when you woke up next to the dead detective duncan , then you would n't be in this mess in the first place , right ? skye : jax , i 'm not asking you to like him , ok ? i 'm just asking you to help me find him . it is the only shot that i have of proving my innocence , you know ? jax : i do n't -- you know , i do n't understand that because luke point - blank accused you of murder , right ? skye : well , he did n't write that letter , ok ? jax : oh . skye : at least not voluntarily , he did n't . now , either he 's being held against his will , or he 's protecting the real killer , who , in that case , would be laura . either way , i 've got to find him , ok ? well , are you in pain ? i mean , is it broken ? jax : yeah , you could say that . you know , i spent months pursuing courtney , you know , trying to convince her to trust me , and just when it 's all about to pay off , you just -- huh -- blow it all to hell . skye : i know , i -- i 'm so sorry . i am . i know that i -- i should n't have called out your name without being sure that you were alone . it was stupid on several levels , i guess . i 'm not a very good fugitive , am i ? jax : well , you should n't have to be . skye : so , you have real feelings for courtney , huh ? jax : she -- she kind of snuck up on me . skye : jax , look , i know that i have no right to impose this on you , but you can not tell anybody that i am here , not even courtney . [ scene_break ] courtney : ok , jax may be handsome and charming , but that 's as far as it goes . i mean , the man is as shallow as a pie pan . there could never be anything lasting between us . mike : and you thought the bet had taken a back seat to something real , did n't you ? courtney : there were times where i wanted to believe that . come on , dad . i mean , jax is a player . i knew that from day one . i mean , the whole point of the bet was to seduce me . you know , of course he was going to say exactly what i wanted to hear . and i suppose once upon a time i would 've fallen for it , but that 's when i still believed in prince charming and happily ever after . but thankfully , i 'm past all that . and -- and , hey , if winning the bet -- if it turned out to be a little more painful than i anticipated , i 'll get over it . you know , the objective was to get money for my foundation , which i did , and -- and i learned a very valuable lesson in the process . mike : what 's that ? courtney : sometimes things really are too good to be true . [ scene_break ] jason : john durant is carly 's biological father , just like a.j . is yours . michael : but biology does n't matter . sonny 's my real dad . jason : that 's right ; sonny is your real dad . and really what counts is the love you get from the people you 're with every day . you see , the difference -- the difference with you and your mom is you have sonny . see , she never really had any kind of father , so she 's really hoping that john durant loves her , but he ca n't because he does n't know her . all right , you know -- you know how it 's ric lansing 's job to try to put sonny and me in prison ? well , that 's durant 's job , too , and that 's all he cares about . michael : you have to tell mommy ! she does n't know mr. durant 's a bad guy ! jason : she knows . michael : you have to get mommy away from him ! jason : she has to decide that for herself . michael : what if he puts daddy in jail ? jason : well , that 's not going to happen . michael , you do n't have to worry about that . i 'm not going to let it . you 're a smart kid , and i know you see what goes on around here , ok ? you 're getting a little older , and i 'm going to have to start to tell you some things . i want you to be careful with durant . you should n't spend time with him , you do n't answer his questions , you do n't tell him things , you can not trust him . you ca n't treat him like you do mike because john durant is not your grandfather . [ scene_break ] carly : look , a month ago , i did n't even know that john durant existed . now it turns out he 's my father and he says he wants to know me . steven : and is that such a bad thing ? carly : well , it would n't be if he did something different for a living . steven : yeah , i can see how his job 's a problem , considering your husband is an alleged racketeer . carly : it is alleged . sonny is a legitimate businessman . he 's never been convicted of a crime . he never will be . steven : yeah , he 's a legitimate businessman who tends to get shot a ton . carly : ok , you know , you said you wanted to be my friend , and here i am giving you an opportunity . steven : i do . no , no , no -- carly : so you can either take it or you can continue to take cheap shots at my husband . steven : hey , carly -- carly ? you 're right , i 'm sorry . you 're right , i want to help you any way i can . i do . carly : ok . you did -- you did forensic work for john , right ? steven : i 've done some . i was a consultant for the justice department , so a lot of different prosecutors used my services . carly : ok , but the point is you 've worked alongside him ; you have a sense of who he is , right ? i mean , so is john durant a man of integrity ? is he a man of his word ? or could he really be just using me to get to sonny ? i just need to know -- is there a chance that he really may want to have a relationship with me as my father ? [ scene_break ] emily : i 've never forgotten the way you looked in this dress ; the way you glowed . lois : it was the happiest day of my life . emily : yeah , well , i was honored to be included as a last - minute bridesmaid . lois : and now look -- it 's your turn to be married . emily : thank you for remembering the dress , lois , and bringing it to me . lois : your grandmother would be so happy for you . now , i 'm going to get out of your way and leave you with this gorgeous hubby - to - be of yours . emily : all right , do n't be a stranger , ok ? lois : oh , you got it , but could you do most of the visiting , because this place gives me the serious heebie - jeebies . [ emily laughs ] emily : bye . nikolas : oh -- [ emily laughs ] nikolas : i 'm not supposed to see , right ? emily : come here . nikolas : right ? emily : come here , you . first of all , i 'm not superstitious . and even if i were , it 's only bad luck for the groom to see the bride in the dress on the wedding day . it 's perfectly safe for you to see me holding it weeks ahead of time . nikolas : well , i 'm sure you 'll look beautiful in it . emily : you 're so good for my ego . when the -- the sketch of the wedding dress i was considering got burned , you know , we thought that it was a bad omen . but instead , it turned out to be a good thing . you know , this dress feels like a -- like a love note from grandmother , you know , saying that she approves and wishes us well . you know , grandmother was a die - hard romantic . [ emily grunts ] emily : she always wanted me to find the love of my life , and now i have , and i 'm not going to let anything -- including helena 's asinine curse -- keep me from marrying -- nikolas : oh -- emily : no -- oh , god ! look , it 's just wine , nikolas . nikolas : i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry . emily : no , it 's no big deal . i 'll take it to the cleaners tomorrow . i 'll have someone , you know , cut it and try to patch it . nikolas : emily , it 's your grandmother 's wedding dress . it 's an heirloom that means something to you , and i just ruined it . emily : nikolas , you did n't ruin it . nikolas : yeah , just like i ruined everything when i grabbed mac 's gun and shot mary with it . i mean , if i 'd have just -- emily : you fired to protect me , and i 'll always be grateful . nikolas : what i did led you to being framed for murder . i mean , what if -- what if helena 's right ? what if this is just the beginning ? emily : what do you mean ? nikolas : what if this cassadine curse is for real ? [ scene_break ] lois : boy , you really are into this whole fitness thing . is n't it a little late to be running ? courtney : well , i needed to do something . i was crawling out of my skin sitting at home . i just -- i thought if i exhausted myself that i would fall into a deep and dreamless sleep -- emphasis on `` dreamless . `` lois : does this have anything at all to do with your famous bet with jax , because it occurs to me the deadline is fast approaching . courtney : it was tonight . i won . i -- i resisted jax 's attempts at seduction for three whole months . lois : give the girl a medal . not an easy task . courtney : no , i got more than that . i -- i got a check for $ 10 million . yeah , that money is going to help a lot of needy kids , and i -- i , blessedly , do n't have to ever spend another private moment with jax again . lois : pardon me for saying so , but you do n't seem too happy . courtney : i 'm ecstatic . lois : so those are tears of joy you 're fighting there ? i think i know what 's really going on here . i think you are literally running scared . you 're afraid that jax is going to lose interest now that the bet is over . courtney : he already has . i was -- i was sitting at home , like i said , and i was waiting for the celebratory feeling to kick in , but it did n't . you know , i mean , i -- winning the bet was just -- i do n't know , it was just hollow , like it was the least important thing and i was blowing what really mattered . so i went to jax 's , and i was actually going to make love to him . whew . but he 's already moved on , so -- lois : in the space of what , like , five minutes ? courtney : well , you know jax -- waste not , want not . by the time i got there , he was already in bed with another woman .

[ lulu sighs ] lulu : okay , i -- no , i would n't go that far . johnny just has a rep for acting out or something , and jason thinks the zacchara family is behind leticia 's death , but he has n't actually accused johnny of anything -- and like i said , i do n't believe it . i think johnny is just the family screw - up or something , and i can relate . carly : please tell me you do n't like this guy ? lulu : i barely know him . we 've just texted a couple of times . carly : does jason know you 're in contact with him ? lulu : i had to tell him , and he was worried , of course , even though there 's no reason .

[ diane laughs ] diane : i hate to disillusion you , but trevor lansing is above reproach . sonny : trevor lansing is employed by a dirty mobster , which makes trevor lansing dirty . diane : i work for you , and i am pure as the driven snow . you are going to save yourself a lot of frustration if you just accept reality , accept the fact that there is no upside to a continued fight with trevor lansing .

michael represents sonny and ava represents julian in a cartel meeting . when people demand to know if she knows who shot sonny , she implicates carlos rivera . michael wonders why and does not believe it since nobody has seen or heard from carlos in a long time and he would have no motive . as soon as the meeting is done , michael goes to find dante at the police station to find out if there 's any information about the whereabouts of carlos rivera . strangely , anna has had that same discussion with julian after accusing him of murdering duke and hearing him say she needs to find carlos and is n't it odd that carlos has disappeared and nobody has seen or heard from him . paul hornsby goes to find dante and wants him to believe the `` new da `` needs to find and prosecute the person who tried to kill sonny . little does dante know . anna goes to talk to paul and while nobody has a clue that she killed carlos , she overhears michael discussing with the cops and da that they have to find out what happened to carlos .

[ scene_break ] griffin : thank you . i do n't know how much information you have on nurse santiago 's murder . anna : yeah , i spoke to dante about sabrina . the theory is that she 's the latest victim in the serial killer 's murder spree at general hospital . they believe that she witnessed the killer 's attempt on monica quartermaine and that the murderer followed her and killed her so she would n't be able to identify him . griffin : there 's a little bit of good news . monica quartermaine is resting at home ... anna : oh , thank god . griffin : ... and she should make a full recovery . anna : oh , she 's lucky . while i was in california , i - i was given access to all the evidence we have against the killer . griffin : uh , is there any , besides the description of the cufflink officer spencer found in one of the labs ? anna : no , there 's very little . we do n't even have the cufflink , just a photograph of one similar from online . there 's not a lot to go on . i 'm determined to do whatever i can to help with the case . i mean , sabrina -- she deserves that . griffin : yeah . she does . she was taken much too soon . anna : while others -- they just seem to have nine lives . when i left here for california , we had an airtight case against him . we had a recording of him confessing to ordering the hit on your father and to killing carlos himself . we also have his wife 's testimony and corroborating witnesses and evidence . so how does all that evaporate and his confession ? i want to know why . griffin : [ sighs ] anna : hi . jordan : hi . anna : um , thank you so much for coming . i wonder if you could tell me what the hell happened with julian 's warrant . [ scene_break ] paul : tracy . what in the world are you doing here ? tracy : uh , uh , hi , paul . i came to see susan . paul : i figured as much , but -- but why ? how did you even know my daughter was here ? tracy : oh , well , dillon and i were talking a - a - about how upset you were after the julian jerome trial , and we thought that it would cheer you up to have a visit from susan . so dillon called suki 's in bar harbor and left a message , and the person that called us back said that the , uh , the shop had changed hands . and i asked if there was a forwarding address . paul : mm . and they told you about celestial heights . tracy : yes , and i was disturbed when i realized that -- that she 'd been committed , and you did n't feel that you could tell me or dillon . paul : well , it 's been something ... private for me . tracy : well , when i heard , i just -- i just -- i jumped in the car . i had to -- i had to come here , and i 'm -- i 'm -- think it 's a mistake . i regret it . i - i should have talked to you first . i did n't mean to invade your privacy . paul : i understand . tracy : you do ? paul : i 've known you for a long time , tracy , and i know how much family means to you . thank you for caring . but as for susan , i - i mean , seeing her right -- right now is just not a good time . tracy : she 's at dinner ? paul : no , n - nothing like that . susan , uh ... does n't speak . she ... uses sounds and gestures , um , that i can understand . but right now , she signaled to me that she , uh , wanted to be alone . tracy : wow . that must be very difficult for you . paul : she tires easily . i 'm ... staying in the area overnight , so i - i could come back later and -- and -- and visit . tracy : well , again , i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm embarrassed , and i apologize for coming without saying anything to you . i - i now realize that this is a very , very private matter for you . paul : it has been . but now that you 're here , um ... i actually would like to talk to you about susan . [ scene_break ] andré : i thought i was sparring with derek . curtis : well , so did i. i guess he double - booked by accident . andré : so , where is he ? curtis : mnh - mnh - mnh . i did n't know you boxed . andré : yeah , i learned a long time ago . still do it occasionally when i find the time . it 's a great workout and excellent for focus . curtis : and so it is . it 's also a great way to work off some aggression . andré : that , too . curtis : well , look , man , uh , if you still want to use the bag , i 'm done here . i 'll go . andré : or you and i could go a few rounds . oh , we do n't know each other 's experience level , but we can be careful , right ? curtis : okay . [ scene_break ] nathan : if charlotte is my daughter , of course , i want to have a relationship with her -- of course i do . that goes without saying . but instead of getting into it here , why do n't we just wait a couple hours until we have our answer ? claudette : a couple hours ? nathan : well , ye ah , i get the results of the paternity test today . claudette : what ? ! how ? i - i - i was -- how can it happen so quick ? i mean , i was under the impression that it was gon na take longer . nathan : well , it wo n't . claudette : well , if the lab rushes the results , there could be a mistake . nathan : pcpd uses this lab all the time . the results will be accurate , and when i get them , i will call you , and we can all open them up together , okay ? i think that 's the best way to do this , given all the mutual suspicion and distrust . claudette : fine , yeah . i have to go . maxie : did you -- did you see how fast she just took off right now ? you know why , right ? she 's desperate to do damage control before she 's exposed . nathan : [ chuckles ] let 's not jump to conclusions . maxie : please , allow me this moment to feel ... totally vindicated . [ sighs ] i was right . that bitch has been lying to us the entire time . [ scene_break ] griffin : well , i will let you two speak in private . anna : yes , thank you . it 's nice to see you . griffin : nice to see you . [ cell phone ringing ] griffin : ugh . yes ? claudette : do n't cut me off this time . griffin : what is it ? claudette : i wanted to let you know that i spoke to nathan and maxie like you asked . griffin : fine . goodbye . claudette : wait ! and because of my talk with them , i now need to speak with you -- immediately . griffin : i do n't see why . claudette : griffin , come on . can you just meet me at the metro court ? just come to my room . griffin : why would i come to your room ? claudette : damn it , griffin . i 'm not playing games . it 's important . i really need to talk to you . please . [ scene_break ] jordan : i swear to you , anna , i did n't screw up the warrant for the wiretap . you were there . you saw me write it up . anna : i was present . i did n't witness your work personally . jordan : i know i gave the right address when i filled out the request for the warrant -- i know . how long have i been a cop , right ? i know everything needs to be checked and double - checked . anna : the warrant was invalid . jordan : i have gone over everything personally , and i can not find any sign that someone was able to get into our system to tamper with that warrant . but i still believe that is exactly what happened . anna : okay . how ? julian was in jail . he had limited access to visitors . how is he supposed to order something like that done ? jordan : he always had full access to his attorney . anna : oh , no . jordan : yes . i think scott bribed somebody in the office to change it . anna : all right , yeah . while i agree that scott 's ethics are flexible , he 's not going to do something like that . he 's not gon na do something that 's gon na land him in prison for obstruction of justice . jordan : look , all i know is that the original warrant was correct . that confession was admissible until someone tampered with the records . anna : well , whoever that was -- their efforts set julian free . [ scene_break ] paul : susan has been on my mind recently for many reasons , and i could use someone to talk to about it , and we could grab a quick bite before you head back . tracy : a -- a quick bite ? paul : i 've had a lot on my plate recently . i try to compartmentalize and keep it all under control . i 've been feeling overwhelmed lately , like things are starting to get away from me . like sabrina 's death , for instance -- i - i - i did n't see that coming . and i - i could n't have possibly anticipated that ... anyway , um ... it felt really good , and it helped talking to you ... back at the church . and since you 're here , um ... well , i know that we 're not family any longer , but , well , we are friends , are n't we ? tracy : absolutely . but i do n't want to take away from your time with susan . paul : i just told you that she needed a little time alone . i - is there some reason why you would n't want to have dinner with me ? [ scene_break ] claudette : god , how hard is it to find ? [ knock on door ] claudette : hi . thank you for coming over . it means so much to me that you would just drop everything and come by 'cause i needed to see you -- griffin : what is it ? claudette : i told you that i talked to nathan , and later maxie . i had been withholding certain information , and i came clean . griffin : so , why the frantic call to me ? claudette : 'cause there 's a slight possibility that what i told them could involve you . [ scene_break ] maxie : it 's obvious that claudette panicked when she found out you were getting the paternity - test results today . nathan : look , it 's possible that claudette hurried out of here because the paternity - test results are coming back sooner than she anticipated and she has n't had any time to come up with some kind of contingency plan in case i 'm not charlotte 's father . maxie : yep , that would also make sense . nathan : and it 's also possible that she 's not the only person who 's entirely prepared for what 's gon na happen today . maxie : what do you mean ? i thought that you wanted to know . nathan : i 'm not talking about me . maxie : well , you certainly ca n't be referring to me . nathan : maxie , you have refused to even discuss what 's gon na happen if i am charlotte 's father . i mean , are you prepared for that ? are you -- are you even willing to try ? [ scene_break ] jordan : whoever did this covered their tracks very , very carefully . anna : well , i have my issues with paul , but , honestly , i ca n't really fault him for losing the case . when he could n't introduce the confession , his hands were tied . and then , there was the testimony that alexis gave . jordan : i do n't think that the media reports could truly convey what a debacle it was . anna : some people are speculating that she was drunk . jordan : yeah . anna : really ? jordan : well , i confronted her during a break , and she insisted that she had one glass of wine at lunch . anna : ugh . jordan : now , either she 's lying about that , or the emotional pressure got to her . i do n't know . anna : how bad was it ? jordan : by the end of it , she was nearly incoherent . just emotional and rambling and contradicting herself -- you know , yelling at scott -- even paul , for that matter , saying not to call julian her husband . i - it was ridiculous . anna : well , i mean , you ca n't really fault her for that last part . jordan : when the judge asked her to step down , she did and tottered for a bit , and then she collapsed right into julian 's arms . anna : in front of the jury ? jordan : oh , yeah . and they saw the whole thing . anna : okay , i 'm not gon na get angry after the fact because ... i 'm just not . but this was our one chance to get jerome . what the hell was she thinking ? ! jordan : alexis is -- she 's only human , right ? maybe sitting there with julian in front of her , she -- she could n't cope . i do n't know . that 's -- that 's the only explanation that i can think of of why she fell apart on that stand . anna : well , i need better answers than that . jordan : [ sighs ] so , what are you gon na do -- are you gon na talk to alexis ? anna : i 'm gon na talk to paul . [ scene_break ] tracy : of course , we can talk if you think it 'll help . paul : it definitely will . thank you . yeah . [ elevator bell dings ] paul : i know a great little steak place nearby that i go to when i 'm in the area . tracy : great . paul : i , uh , i 'm so glad that we ran into each other this way . i hope you feel the same way . [ scene_break ] curtis : any progress on your profile of the serial killer at general hospital ? andré : i ca n't discuss that with you . you 're not an official part of the investigation . curtis : true , but i was part of the conversation at the pcpd . it is part of my , uh , expertise . and i was the one who suggested that the killer probably did n't work at the hospital . andré : let 's just drop it . curtis : [ scoffs ] what 's the big deal , man ? i mean , you were there . jordan clearly is comfortable talking to me about this . andré : well , i 'm not . [ scene_break ] paul : i 'm sorry . hopefully , this wo n't take long . tracy : uh , you were so fortunate to find a - accommodations so close to the facility . it 's -- it 's remote here . i wonder if the , uh -- the guests are all vacationers . paul : it is . damn it . what did i do with my wallet ? tracy : paul , we really did n't need to come back here to find your wallet . i mean , i can afford to pay for dinner , god knows . why do n't we just go to the steakhouse ? come on . let 's go . paul : do n't be silly . you 're the one doing me a favor , which i truly appreciate . i am buying dinner -- end of story . i did n't notice it was gone until we got into the car . i ca n't remember the last time i saw my wallet . if it truly is lost , i need to know as soon as possible . [ cell phone ringing ] tracy : are n't you gon na answer that ? paul : no . [ cell phone beeps , ringing stops ] paul : it 's nothing important . [ rustling ] [ luggage unzips ] [ scene_break ] anna : well , paul 's not answering . jordan : well , he did n't come into the office today , so you wo n't find him there . anna : he must have taken a mental - health day . jordan : [ chuckles ] anna : maybe he 's laying low . you know , he 's nothing if not arrogant . he hates to lose . it sounds like he was handed his butt at that trial . jordan : oh , yes . so what are you gon na do ? are you gon na respect his privacy ? anna : no . [ chuckling ] no . i 've spent too much of my time trying to bring julian to justice . so i 'm not gon na come back here and , now everything 's gone wrong , just sit around and do nothing . no . i 'm gon na go talk to paul . [ scene_break ] griffin : if this is leading back to our unfortunate affair or the night nathan shot me , i 'll pass . it 's over . it 's done . let it go . claudette : i ca n't . i tried to talk to you about this before , but you would n't give me a chance . griffin : if this is another one of your games ... claudette : it 's not , i swear . look . [ sighs ] i had hoped for so long that i would never have to involve you in this , but i just do n't know what else to do . griffin : claudette , if you have something to actually say to me , then spit it out . claudette : okay . [ sighs ] it 's a long and painful story , but i 'll just cut to the chase , okay ? the night that nathan shot you and he left me , i - i discovered something . griffin : what ? claudette : i found out i was pregnant . [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan , you ... handled the fact that i have georgie . you 've never had a problem with it . so why would i have a problem with you having a child ? and that is a rhetorical question , because we are about to get proof that you are not charlotte 's father . nathan : listen . listen . we 'll -- we 'll deal with the proof when we get it , okay ? right now , i want to talk about you and your feelings , okay ? if i am charlotte 's father ... maxie : mnh . nathan : ... maxie , then i need you to be honest with me about where you stand . maxie : if you want honesty , then , five years ago , i would have done everything i could to make sure you did n't have a relationship with your daughter , because i would n't have wanted you to have any connection to claudette ... which means i was a lot more like claudette than i would like to admit . oof . nathan : maxie , no , that 's not true . maxie : i hope not . i mean , i - i feel like a better person today , and that 's partially because of you ... ... but mostly because of georgie . and now that i 'm a mom ... i would never do anything to sabotage a relationship that you would have with your child . i know what it 's like to be separated from the person that you love more than anything in the world , and that 's what she would be for you if she was yours . and i - i want that for you , nathan . i really do ... if it 's true . what i 'm trying to say is that if , in fact , you and claudette do have a daughter together ... i know that you 're gon na step up , and you 're gon na be a father to her , and you 're gon na commit yourself to raising her and loving her . and i will completely support you , always . [ scene_break ] griffin : you were pregnant when your marriage to nathan broke up ? claudette : [ sighs ] yes . nine months later , i gave birth to a little girl , charlotte . i only told nathan about her a few days ago for reasons that i will explain later . griffin : yeah , i think that merits an explanation . claudette : well , what 's important for you to know is that i am almost positive that nathan 's the father . griffin : `` almost positive `` ? claudette : nathan and i never used protection , and you and i were always very , very , very careful ... except for the couple times that we were n't . [ scene_break ] maxie : and i - i promise you that all of my reservations are about claudette being a lying liar [ chuckles ] not about you being a dad . you are going to make a great father . nathan : i have never loved you more than i love you right now . maxie : i love you , too . and ... i want you to know that it 's okay if you 're hoping that charlotte is yours . nathan : honestly , i do n't -- i do n't know what i 'm hoping . i think , at this point , it 's pretty clear that claudette does have a daughter named charlotte and that she must have had compelling reasons for keeping her a secret all this time . [ sighs ] it also explains why she went through all this trouble to reconnect with me . and if she is running from someone dangerous , it makes sense she 'd go to a cop for protection . whether or not charlotte is my daughter , i want to make sure she 's safe . maxie : because your first instinct is to protect , and that is one of the things that i love most about you . nathan : you know , we could , um -- i could wait for that messenger anywhere . [ cell phone ringing ] maxie : [ sighs ] [ ringing continues ] [ scene_break ] griffin : so , what you 're telling me is that you -- you ca n't be certain that your daughter is nathan 's child . claudette : like i said , i think that she is his . you know , i - i feel it . and i have been trying to do some research on some probabilities online in situations such as these . and so far , you know , the results have been encouraging . griffin : but you just admitted that you basically do n't know ... which is why you 're here , telling me , as -- as a preemptive strike , because if nathan finds out he 's not the father , he 's gon na come directly to me and tell me that i am , and you wanted to get here first so you could spin it , right ? right ? ! claudette : yes ! yes ! i am not sure that charlotte is nathan 's , and , yes , i wanted to be the one to tell you that . griffin : you know , what i do n't understand is why did n't you tell nathan as soon as you found out you were pregnant ? no matter what was going on in your relationship , nathan or any other father would have the right to know . claudette : i had just watched nathan shoot you in a drunken rage . i had no idea how he 'd react . i was afraid to -- griffin : that 's an excuse , and you know it . claudette : well , the important thing is he knows now . griffin : you told nathan the child is his ? claudette : yes , because she is his ! i 'm almost positive ! [ sighs ] griffin : you were perfectly fine keeping me in the dark about all this a half- hour ago . why the sudden need to tell me ? were you trying to unburden your conscience , or is there something else you 're not telling me ? claudette : nathan demanded a paternity test , and i thought that it would take a few days , but it looks like we 'll be getting the results today . griffin : you 're telling me that i may find out i have a daughter in the next few hours . [ cell phone ringing ] claudette : hello . nathan : the results are in . where are you ? claudette : in my room . nathan : look , i 'm gon na go pick up the official papers , and then -- and then maxie and i will come to you . claudette : [ sighs ] actually ... you might be finding out in the next couple minutes . [ scene_break ] andré : okay . let 's do this . curtis : look , man , skip the sparring , okay ? we got more important things to talk about . andré : really ? curtis : look , i respect your decision not to talk to me about this , okay ? you 're doing the pcpd a disservice . they need all the help they can get with catching this guy , but , you know , it 's your call . andré : then i do n't see the problem . curtis : the problem is your motive . this has nothing to do with police procedure or -- or -- or a code of ethics . you 're shutting me down because of jordan . andré : i 'm aware that your actions disrupted jordan 's life before . she , understandably , is wary of you . curtis : if you know jordan like you think you do , you would know that we worked it out , and we 're good . maybe it 's you who 's out of the loop . oh , you want to take a swing at old curtis ? take a shot . jordan : curtis . [ scene_break ] olivia : anna . anna : ooh . olivia : [ chuckling ] hi . anna : hi . olivia : i did n't know you were back in town . it 's good to see you . anna : yeah . it 's nice to see you , too . is paul here ? olivia : no , paul 's not here right here . i was just doing a quick spot - check of the room after the new chambermaid cleaned it up . you here to give him hell about julian 's trial ? anna : yeah . olivia : well , i was only in the courtroom for the verdict being read , but , uh , from what i understand , paul did the best he could . alexis -- not so much . anna : that 's what i heard . olivia : i 'm sorry , anna . it does n't look like julian 's ever gon na pay for what he did . but if it 's any consolation , it will be a cold day in hell before he ever sees his son again . anna : is he bothering you ? olivia : well , not yet , but i 'm not naive enough to think he 's gon na walk away from leo without a fight . anna : if you ever need my help with anything , you know you just have to ask . olivia : thank you , anna , truly . if you 're looking for paul , did you try his office ? anna : yeah , no , he took the day off . so , i wanted to leave a note for him , 'cause i do want to speak to him . [ ringtone playing ] olivia : oh , sure . anna : is that okay ? olivia : yeah , sure , sure , sure . anna : thank you . olivia : ugh . god , i 'm sorry . i - i - i have a very , uh ... particular guest who is demanding my immediate attention . uh , i got to run . can you let yourself out when you 're done ? anna : yeah , of course . sure . olivia : take care . anna : it 's nice to see you . olivia : yeah . anna : okay . where to find a notebook ? brilliant . [ scene_break ] tracy : so , paul , why do n't we forego dinner ? if your wallet 's really gone , you 're gon na have to cancel all your credit cards -- it 's such a lengthy process -- and then , dinner on top of that , it 's -- you 're gon na miss too much time with your daughter . paul : i know exactly what time i need to be back at the facility . susan made that very clear . tracy : i thought you said she did n't speak . paul : you 'd be surprised to know how much she can convey with the sounds and gestures that she makes . tracy : i 'm -- i 'm glad she can communicate with you . paul : yes . yes . i can understand when she wants me to stay or leave ... or if a nurse or someone is in the door . [ chuckles ] found it . glad that little drama is over . tracy : good . now we can go . paul : y - you know , tracy , i - i just had an idea . why do n't we order in ?

[ papers rustling ] [ scene_break ] jordan : why are you telling andré to hit you ? [ object thuds ] curtis : it 's , uh -- it 's a boxing gym . it 's kind of what we do . jordan : when we agreed to meet here after your workout , you did n't mention curtis . is he your sparring partner or ... andré : no . no . i 'm not . curtis : i got stuff to do . i 'm out . andré : that 's your boy . [ sighs ] jordan : okay , uh ... what was all that about ? andré : [ grunting ] jordan : andré . andré : he kept asking questions , prying , really , about the hospital serial- killer case , and i made it clear i was n't about to discuss it with him . jordan : okay , fine , but when i walked in , the tension was -- was off the charts , and -- and curtis was goading you to hit him . that does n't really go with a discussion . andré : maybe it 's because i just do n't like the guy . [ grunting ] [ scene_break ] anna : i guess this just must be his research . [ metal clatters ] [ scene_break ] tracy : [ laughs ] why on earth would i want room service when you 've been talking up that great steakhouse ? let 's stick with our original plan . paul : i - i 'm sorry , tracy .

[ next_on ] laura ( to kevin ) : what are you doing here on my flight ? nathan ( to claudette ) : what the hell is going on ? griffin ( to maxie ) : you were just blindsided yet again by something that involves me . anna ( to jordan ) : i need you to get over to paul 's room . there 's something you need to see . paul ( to tracy ) : it 's now time for me to tie up every loose end .

anna returns to town and first meets with griffin , assessing that she regrets moving and not at least being there for julian 's trial , knowing that their chance to bring duke 's murderer to justice is now ruined . she also admits that she can not believe the cops have tried and failed to find and catch the hospital killer , and have had to close down the hospital after sabrina has paid with her life . they still have no suspicion as to whom the hospital killer is . anna later meets with jordan and they both realize something happened to prevent the warrant to have alexis wired and obtain the taped confession from julian , from being valid . they know that `` somebody `` secretly ruined that for them . anna knows she has not seen or heard from paul and wants to find out what he might know about it . yet she still has no suspicion of him . she finds olivia and gets her to unlock paul 's hotel room while she looks around . and right when she least expects it , she finds paul 's cuff links and knows what that means . meanwhile , tracy is clearly able to overhear paul confessing to his catatonic daughter that he killed all the people who hurt her . she attempts to have him believing she suspects nothing of him . yet he knows she 's onto him and makes it clear that he 's desperate knowing that she now knows he murdered sabrina . claudette is obviously spooked when she finds out that nathan has run a dna test to prove paternity of her daughter . she rushes to find griffin and informs him , for the first time , that she has a daughter who is more than likely nathan 's although it 's entirely possible she is his . he knows she is playing a game with both of them for revealing this for the first time and has reason to be afraid of the results of the paternity test . nathan then goes with maxie to meet with both of them after he 's obtained the results of the test in a sealed envelope . he knows he has to answer it and reveal the truth once and for all .

[ clears throat ] i made a choice to get out of the business and leave that life behind , but i showed up at the warehouse anyway ... because you needed me . and i almost died , and i ca n't put my wife and my kids through that again . so , as much as i love you , i ca n't take the risk anymore . and i hope you can accept that . [ scene_break ] michael : mom , you could n't be more wrong about this . first of all , nelle encouraged me to go without her . she knew it was a big family occasion , and it was my idea not to go , not hers . carly : okay , so , how do you propose to explain this to your grandmother ? hmm ? you gon na send her flowers ? oh , and you can add a card that says , `` sorry , but i chose nelle over our family . `` michael : you know , i think the flowers are a good idea . i think i 'd hold off on the card , though . why are you making such a big deal out of this ? carly : i 'm not making a big deal out of this , nelle made a big deal out of it . she has your head so turned around , you ca n't even see straight . michael : no , mom , i see one thing clearly enough , and that 's you need to back off and let me live my life !

[ scene_break ] nelle : now , i 'll admit , i may not be the sweet , innocent girl that you thought your brother deserved , but i 'm a survivor . that 's something that you and your precious boarding - school background ca n't begin to comprehend . that 's why zach loved me , because i made it on my own . nothing was handed to me . i had to fight for everything that i wanted . sharon : listen to you : the scrappy little girl from the wrong side of the tracks . i can see how you played zach . turned him against your whole family until you were the center of his universe . just you and him against the world . and when zach was out there in that water , and his kayak began to sink , all he had was you to save him . i wonder if you realized then that his whole universe was based on an illusion . did he know ? could you tell he saw the truth when he looked into those cold blue eyes of yours just before he took his last breath ? nelle : get out ! sharon : not until i get what i came for . [ scene_break ] carly : do me a favor : do n't be a stranger once you and nelle start living together . michael : what are you talking about ? carly : what am i talking about ? nelle 's building was going condo , and she turned on her poor - me nelle act , and you jumped in and you bought that apartment . i mean , i 'm sure she gratefully asked you to move in with her . michael : that is all kinds of wrong , i do n't even know where to start . let me start with : i 'm not an idiot , mom . and nelle and i , we 're not living together . i 'm still at the quartermaine 's , and she never asked me to buy her anything . it was my idea to buy the apartment . carly : i bet . i bet . michael : well , then , you think she played me , huh ? you think she got me to do what she wanted ? carly : just do n't let her isolate you from us , okay ? promise me that . michael : coffee 's getting cold . i 've got to go . carly : michael , michael ...

[ chuckles ] amy : fine . what ? spinelli : hard - working nurse at gh turns out to be a powerhouse literary manager . i mean , that 's -- that 's -- that 's quite an accomplishment . amy : [ chuckles ] spinelli : what 's your secret ? [ scene_break ] franco : you twisted my arm into showing this , but ... it was never my intention to sell it . what made you buy it ? andré : some people like to spend money chasing golf balls . i like to invest in works of art . and this piece ... it gives a glimpse into the artist 's imagination . that 's what spoke to me . franco : what if it was n't imagination ? [ scene_break ] jason : hey , hey , what took you so long ? carly : hi ! jason : easy , easy , easy . carly : welcome back . it 's so good to see you . jason : mm , it 's good to see you .

[ scene_break ] nelle : in case you 're considering some sort of civil suit , news flash -- i have nothing . i live paycheck to paycheck . i lease my car . i rent my apartment . there is nothing of value that you can take from me ! sharon : i do n't want anything from you . i came for what rightfully belongs to my family . nelle : i do n't have anything of yours . in fact , your family made sure that i only left with the bus fare in my purse and the clothes on my back ! sharon : that `` struggling to survive `` act is wearing thin . i know who and what you are . you may have dodged a murder charge , but you 're still a common thief . michael : excuse me . who are you , and what are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] franco : all right . this whole thing 's confidential , right ? andré : uh , okay . are you my patient now ? franco : [ clears throat ] andré : these -- those are these guys ? franco : yeah . you may or may not already know this about me , but for a long time , i had this obsession . i thought that i had this connection to jason morgan . i actually thought at one point that we were twins . turns out we were not . um , but lately , i 've been having these kind of ... feelings again , and so i went to talk to my mom about it -- my adoptive mom , not my real mom , who , parenthetically , is a complete lunatic . but betsy frank , my adoptive mom , confirmed that this , in fact , me and that this , in fact , is a twin . not my twin , but a twin . he is jason morgan 's twin , and his name is andréw . andré : okay . why are you and andréw dressed alike ? franco : well , it 's convoluted , but andréw and jason 's birth mother , susan moore , gave andréw to my mother , betsy frank , to raise as her own . so for the first three years of my life , i thought i had a brother . andré : why only three years ? franco : well , 'cause he had a bad heart , so he died . and my mom did n't want me to be upset , did n't want me to grieve . so she told me that he was my imaginary friend . yeah . no , i know , it 's a little weird , but i - it would totally make sense if you knew my mom , because she 's always trying to protect me 'cause she loves me . she loves me a lot . but betsy 's always been emotionally fragile ... so she does n't always make the best decisions . but ... for my whole life , i 've been missing my brother . and i did n't even know he was real . [ scene_break ] carly : you have to walk away from us ? jason : i ... no , it 's ... for the majority of my life , i was able to be there for sonny and for you and the kids .

[ scene_break ] carly : sonny , it is not like durant came looking for me with some sinister conspiracy in mind . he did n't even know i existed until -- i am the who contacted him . there just is this ironic , unfortunate circumstance that he happens to be a federal prosecutor . sonny : durant has a reputation for being ruthless , carly . carly : yes , in his job . jobs , they end . families , they last a lifetime . sonny : he may not see it that way because he 's never had a family to consider . carly : but he does now , right ? and we do n't know . i mean , i do n't want to sacrifice a possible relationship that i could have with my father because of his business or because of yours .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i was out of line , and i apologize . but , you know , my life is just -- and i got to get , you know -- i used to be able to count on him , and right now he does n't want to be that person , so that 's why -- i do n't know . i apologize . what can i say ? sam : hey , i -- i appreciate it , and i know he will , too . sonny : i think you really need to be careful , because i do n't think jason can protect himself anymore . [ scene_break ] carly : ok , if you do n't believe me , why do n't you just ask sonny ? he knows faith is around . lainey : no , carly , she 's not . faith is dead . i do n't have anything to gain by saying that . i do n't want anything from sonny or from you . carly : everybody wants something . lainey : fair enough . what i want is to understand what 's going on with you . tell me why faith has suddenly appeared . what does she represent to you ? carly : when somebody steals your children , takes them away from you , it 's the most helpless feeling that you can imagine . they do n't see them as the precious lives that they are , but just as instruments for revenge . if it were n't for sonny -- lainey : what ? carly : i was so tired . lifting my head off the pillow in the morning took every bit of strength that i had . i just -- i do n't know , i just wanted it to end -- the pain , the emptiness , the constant fear . i wanted to die . have you ever wanted to die ? lainey : yes . carly : well , then you know . that 's how i feel right now . i ca n't get any traction in my life . my anchor is gone . lainey : you mean sonny ? but he 's right here . he 's doing everything he can to help you . carly : yeah . but not -- not because he loves me . it 's out of obligation or duty or something . everything i 've ever cared about or that mattered to me i 've lost . i just want to die . [ scene_break ] reese : even in this crisis , sonny and carly 's bond is palpable . and here 's one for the books . at times , i even find myself rooting for them . ric : come on . what , are you kidding me ? reese : they have what everyone is searching for . ric : yeah . reese : they have a love that survives whatever life throws at it -- divorce , indifference , a custody battle , other lovers , insanity . they 've walked through the fires of hell and they 've come out holding hands . and as much as i hate it , carly still has a place in sonny 's heart , and she probably always will . ric : kind of like jason , only thing is he does n't want it . so here we are , right ? on the sidelines , odd man out . reese : and you sound so calm about it . ric : hmm , acceptance is a beautiful thing , my dear . i highly recommend it . look , it does n't mean that you do n't keep trying to find your place in sonny 's world . just know your limitations . [ scene_break ] lucky : listen , i can watch him for a minute if you need a break . elizabeth : no , this is good , just the three of us . i 'm sorry . oh , my poor little boy . he 's been picking up on all sorts of weird vibes lately . your mama was going to surprise you with a little brother or sister . it just did n't work out . i guess sometimes things just do n't , no matter how much you want them to . but i still have you , and lucky . and there 's definitely no shortage of love here . [ scene_break ] courtney : i 'm so glad that elizabeth is going to be ok . jax : yeah , yeah , me , too . you know , if this tragedy could be any worse , it would be that elizabeth could n't give lucky a child , like what happened with you . courtney : i 'm coming to terms with it . jax : i should have never pushed the surrogacy . i should have realized that it would stir things up for you . i should have just been content with what we had . you know , i 'm sorry . you know , i probably would have found some other way to ruin it anyway . you know , i do n't really get it . my parents were the perfect marital role models . and i do n't know , maybe i try to outdo them instead of reflect them . courtney : yeah , well , maybe you 're just not cut out to be a husband . i mean , why limit yourself by being conventional , right ? or feel less than because you do n't fit the norm ? i was in that place for way too long , and i 'm telling you , it 's a pretty dark and lonely place to be in . i do n't want to visit it again . jax : yeah . courtney : anyway , happy endings for all of us next time , right ? jax : yeah , maybe . [ scene_break ] emily : hi . nikolas : hi . emily : you came . nikolas : it sounded important . emily : it is . at least to me . nikolas , there are things that i 've been wanting to say -- trying to say , and the timing never seemed right , and i think it finally is . i 've come to a few realizations , and i thought it was only fair to share them with you . nikolas : ok . emily : nikolas , i 've been holding on to just so much anger , and i realized tonight that it 's pointless , not to mention paralyzing and counterproductive . nikolas : yeah , yeah , it is , but you know what ? you have every right to be angry . i should have been more sensitive to everything that happened to you . emily : no , you were . nikolas , that 's just it . i was the one with unrealistic expectations of you . i thought our love was so strong that it could work miracles , that it did n't need any help , that you 'd sit by patiently , no matter how long it took and just wait for me to say , `` the spell 's broken , you can approach me now . `` but courtney did n't come between us . i did . i gave connor and mary bishop all the access they needed to destroy us , and then i wrapped myself up in denial and i laid down in the wreckage . and that was n't fair to either one of us , nikolas , and i 'm so sorry . and i just wanted you to know that . nikolas : no , emily , you do n't have to apologize -- emily : no , please , do n't say anything . just promise me that we can honor what we had together by putting down the acrimony and walking away with as much love between us as we walked in with . nikolas : ok . that 's a promise that i am happy to make to you . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 're awfully quiet . are you ok ? lucky : i 'm just sorry about everything , the way i fought with you and jax over the surrogacy thing because of my foolish pride , just for not getting married that night , for not being at the hospital to take you home . elizabeth : we 're exactly where we 're supposed to be , whether it makes sense to us or not . lucky : elizabeth webber , always practical . elizabeth : well , it does n't help to dwell on choices made that ca n't be changed . we 're still together . we have this beautiful little boy . we have an awful lot to be grateful for .

[ scene_break ] claudia : that is exactly why people in our business should never get involved with civilians . ric : because they 're always targets of violence . claudia : because they do n't understand that it 's part of the deal . it 's like the money . it 's like the fear in people 's faces when they hear your last name . it 's just part of your reality . you 're always in danger . there are people that are willing to kill you . so if something like this happens , you know , you get angry . you grieve . maybe you get revenge , but you 're not surprised . ric : yeah , well , i think kate might have been surprised , claudia . i do n't think in the first few seconds that she thought that the stain on her dress was from her own blood . claudia : that 's because she 's a civilian , ric , like lulu 's a civilian , like johnny 's mother was a civilian . they do n't understand . they do n't know what it can be like , but sonny does . and it 's kind of sad that a man like that can be that naive . [ scene_break ] spinelli : once again , the jackal has been relegated to the lowly task of tech support . maxie : why do you have to beat yourself down for being brilliant , spinelli ? tech support is crucial . spinelli : yeah , but it 's neither brave nor manly . maxie : you were brave today . you saved me . mac : spinelli , i want a minute with my daughter . this is why i do n't want you associating with him . maxie : dad , spinelli was wonderful today . mac : spinelli works for jason and that puts you in the line of fire . maxie : we were at a wedding . spinelli or anyone else did n't know that people were going to start shooting . mac : maxie , the violence never stops , so eventually you will pay a price . it will take its toll one way or another . [ scene_break ] johnny : you 're back with people who can take care of you . lulu : you can take care of me . johnny : yeah , it was a mistake to sneak you out . lulu : you took me there to share in something happy and beautiful . the flowers and the candles and ate walking down the aisle , looking at sonny as if nothing else existed -- johnny : yeah , sonny -- a guy like that , he has enemies and i should 've known something could have happened . i 'm sorry . lulu : i 'm okay . johnny : that dress ca n't be that comfortable right now . you should get -- lulu : i love this dress . i love that you surprised me on the way , pulling up in front of the store and having everybody wait on me hand and foot like i was a princess . that is the happiest that i have been in a long time . johnny : yeah , well , it did n't end too happy . lulu : stop blaming yourself . i wanted to go . i just -- i wish it had ended differently . i was hoping i was going to get to dance with you again . tracy : this is bad on so many levels . [ scene_break ] mac : did you happen to glance around , see or hear anything before the shot was fired ? mike : my son was about to get married . i was looking at him and his bride . mac : you were kate 's maid of honor ? olivia : i was completely focused on them . i did n't see anything . mac : if you were kate 's maid of honor , you were standing behind kate , looking at sonny . could you see his face ? olivia : yes . mac : did he look like he was expecting violence ? mike : sonny had no idea this was coming . mac : how do you know that ? mike : sonny loves kate . he just turned his whole life around for her . he 'd -- he would never put her in danger . this was a completely unprovoked attack . mac : did sonny look tense , nervous ? olivia : he looked happy . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't want to make a move until we know for sure who did this . harper : you know , this almost never happens . you question witnesses to a crime and they all agree on something . bernie : you got a lead ? harper : definitely . and the thing they all agree on is you .

[ scene_break ] lulu : johnny took me out for a little while . no harm done . tracy : you ca n't even muster a decent lie ? johnny : i took her to sonny and kate 's wedding , and kate got shot right on the altar . tracy : brilliant . lulu : do n't act like it 's johnny 's fault . it 's not like he knew it was going to happen . tracy : well , why do n't you change out of that dress , and i 'll talk to johnny in the hall for a minute . lulu : whatever she says , you did nothing wrong . i wanted to go . tracy : what the hell were you thinking ? johnny : it was a mistake . tracy : lulu ca n't afford mistakes like that . she 's not here because she 's a little depressed she did n't make the cheerleading squad . she 's mentally ill . johnny : i know . tracy : obviously , you do n't know . and before you push her over the edge with your arrogance and your ignorance , there 's somebody i want you to meet . [ scene_break ] jason : you know i have a permit for the gun . scott : that you just happen to be carrying to sonny 's wedding . yeah , that 's right . dummy up as usual . you pull out a gun in the middle of a church here and put everybody in harm 's way . [ scene_break ] alexis : so it 's your wedding day . the last thing you 'd expect , i guess , would be to get shot , right ? diane : all because of a man . you give and you give , and they take and take . of course , they do have some entertainment value . alexis : until you get shot at . diane : yes , that -- that is the deal - breaker . alexis : you know , i think she 's just another one of the delusional . she thinks the love of a good woman is going to be able to save sonny and get him to change his life . diane : i do n't know . i do n't know . i think it has some sort of deep psychological roots . there 's some traumatic experience in her youth . alexis : really ? what makes you say that ? diane : because , if you and i could not get her to -- to -- walk away from this -- making this disastrous choice , you and i , who are -- who are smart , successful , we have the same tastes , the same ideals bernie : excuse me . pardon me . jason is in urgent need of legal assistance . the special prosecutor is leaning on him pretty hard . diane : assuming we live through this night , let 's go get drunk . alexis : i 'll buy . diane : fine . my client has nothing further to say . scott : why ? does he have something to hide ? harper : is that why you 're lawyering up ? diane : okay , what is this , bad cop / stupid cop ? scott : all right , there . we just want to ask your client here a couple of questions . diane : well , perhaps you should make better use of your time and read the constitution , or -- or maybe you need it on audio cassette . scott : you know what ? we can take both of you downtown right now . how do you like that ? [ diane chuckles ] scott : yeah . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hi . they changed the gate on me and i just want to make sure i 'm in the right place , flight 247 ? woman : to rome ? elizabeth : yes . woman : you 're in the right place . elizabeth : oh , good . woman : relax . elizabeth : i 'm just so excited . i 've dreamed about this for such a long time , and now we 're finally going . woman : newlywed ? elizabeth : boyfriend . but we have n't been able to get away like this ever , so -- do you think you could see if maybe he 's checked in ? woman : yeah , what 's the name ? elizabeth : jason morgan . woman : not yet , but we still have plenty of time before we start boarding . elizabeth : okay . well , i 'm not worried . i know he 'll be here . [ scene_break ] leyla : mr. corinthos , you can go in now . sonny : why are n't you taking her to surgery ? monica : because her vitals are still dangerously low , sonny . we ca n't operate until we get her stabilized . sonny : what are we looking at ? monica : kate is looking at a very complicated surgery performed by a neurosurgeon because the bullet is lodged against her spine . and i knew even before i saw the x - rays that it was a hollow - point bullet , the kind that inflict the maximum damage when they enter the victim . of course , you know that . well , of all the hundred things that could go wrong in this surgery , if one of them does , she could be left paralyzed for life . sonny : do whatever it takes to save her . monica : how many times have you said that , sonny ? how many times have you told doctors to repair damage to someone who 's just unlucky enough to be standing next to you ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : finally . i was -- woman : would you care for some coffee or refreshments ? elizabeth : no , i 'm fine . thank you . [ scene_break ] carly : after the shot was fired , jax threw me down and was protecting me , so i do n't really know what happened after that . jax : is that all ? harper : yeah . if you think of anything else , you just give me a call . jax : will do . claudia : i was just here to share in the joy . mac : because you 're such a fan of weddings . harper : or shootings ? claudia : some marriages were n't meant to work , i guess , huh ? mac : you know , it 's strange that you and your brother , members of a rival mob family , would go to sonny 's wedding . ric : look , mac , lulu spencer is a good friend of sonny 's , not to mention kate 's assistant . john zacchara was her date . claudia came with me . i happen to be sonny 's brother . mac : did sonny mention maybe he was a target ? ric : mac , you know better than that . sonny 's not going to confide in me anything . look , i 'm sorry . i wish we could be more help , but if there 's no further questions -- mac : that 's all for now . ric : would you let me take you home ? claudia : no , i have something i have to do . [ scene_break ] tracy : meet laura spencer , lulu 's mother . do n't worry about making conversation . she does n't speak . she does n't move . she 's like the living dead . johnny : how can you talk that way right in front of her ? tracy : she has no idea that we 're here . she does not receive or transmit . it started as a little mental breakdown brought on by the trauma of a murder . does that sound familiar to you ? and it progressed to psychomotor disassociation . is that what you want for lulu ? johnny : you 're trying to scare me into staying away from lulu . tracy : that is exactly what is going to happen to her . it has already started . johnny : it does n't have to be that way . tracy : why , johnny ? because she 's too vital , too strong , too full of love ? johnny , it 's like the -- the flaw in a gem stone . you do n't even know it 's there until it cracks in two . let me tell you something . i love my stepdaughter . but even if i did n't , i would not wish that on anyone . how can you risk it ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm so sorry . this should have never happened . and the fact that it did is on me , my -- my selfish need to have you love me . you got to live so you can have the life you deserve . olivia : how is she ? sonny : the doctors , they just want to keep her stable , you know . so that way , they can bring her to surgery . the bullet 's lodged against her -- her spine . olivia : i 'd like to sit with her . sonny : the doctor said one at a time . olivia : i 'd like to sit with connie . and at this point , i am more family than you . [ scene_break ] lulu : well , johnny never came back to say good night , so whatever guilt trip you used on him must have worked . tracy : i 'm delighted you 're getting all snippy at me . it must mean you 're getting better . lulu : i am . and when i get out of here , i 'm going to live my life the way i want . tracy : first , you have to get well . lulu : you do n't have to worry . i will follow the doctor 's orders to get out of here . orderly : dinner is served . lulu : thank you . tracy : well , i 'll let you eat in peace . look , lulu , i really do want what 's best for you . lulu : i know . tracy : get some rest . lulu : good night . [ scene_break ] marty : i heard about the shooting . i 'm glad you 're both safe . carly : i 'm okay , thanks to jax . look , i -- i 've got to change before i go home . i do n't want morgan to see me like this , okay ? morgan : mom . carly : what , uh -- morgan , sweetie , what are you doing here ? mercedes : morgan was watching tv when they broke in with the news . when he heard it was sonny 's bride , he -- he thought it was you . he was afraid you had been shot , just like michael . carly : oh , i 'm okay . i 'm okay and jax is okay . we 're here , all right ? we 're not going to leave you . we 're not going to leave you . [ scene_break ] woman 's voice : flight 247 to rome is now ready to board . all first - class passengers should begin boarding now . [ scene_break ] claudia : i did n't take you for a stupid man . karpov : this is why you invited me here , to insult me ? claudia : sonny is not going to stop until you and all your people are dead , so you should head back to russia tonight . karpov : i have no idea what you 're talking about . claudia : there 's a sick sort of genius to it , though , huh ? he would n't take your deals , so you want to send a message so you had his bride shot -- karpov : it was not me . claudia : on his wedding day ? karpov : it was not me . i had nothing to do with this . [ scene_break ] olivia : i know why you were so mad at me , connie . because you thought i came here to tell sonny , but i did n't . i swear . i would never do that , okay ? sonny 's never going to know . so all that you have to do to get everything that you ever wanted , all you have to do is just live through this , okay ? [ scene_break ] jason : we found a shell casing before the cops showed up . i 'm having it traced right now . sonny : you love being right . you said i 'd never be able to walk away , that i really did n't want to . but the truth is , i really started a new life away from the violence , from the people that could harm me or anybody that i love . jason : i 'm sorry , sonny . sonny : forget sorry . i want that bastard , karpov , dead . i want you to send a message loud and clear . he does n't go anywhere near me or mine .

[ scoffs ] are you sure that he went to kill michael ? julian : he certainly gave me that impression . why ? jordan : because we need to stop him . julian : and why would we want to do something like that ? michael : uh , just give me a couple seconds . rosalie : please . i just really need to get this off my chest . michael : okay . come on in . rosalie : thank you . michael : so , what 's on your mind ? rosalie : um ... i -- i owe you an apology . i did n't mean to cause any trouble between you and kiki by telling you that she and morgan were keeping a secret from you . michael : well , no harm done . it turned out to be pretty innocuous . rosalie : oh , yeah , yeah . the anniversary thing . um , i did n't mean to , uh , make it seem like there was something going on behind your back . morgan : please , kiki . you ca n't tell anyone that ava 's here . it 's for her own safety . kiki : s - safety ? okay , i do n't understand . what does she need protection from ? ava : someone wants me dead . [ knock on door ] sonny : hi , carly . nina : th - that 's just -- no . man was not made to type with their thumbs . oh . hi . franco : hi , yourself . nina : yes . how was your birthday party ? franco : before i tell you about it , i 'd like to say i 'm sorry for the way i spoke to you yesterday . nina : no . no . no , i should apologize to you . um , i should n't have told you that gossip about carly . that was wrong . you were right to ignore it . i 'm sure that rosalie just misunderstood . franco : she did n't . sonny and carly totally screwed me . and each other . sonny : you gon na let me in ? carly : what are you doing here ? sonny : nice necklace . carly : thank you . that 's not an answer . why are you here ? sonny : well , michael told me that you and franco are getting hitched . carly : yeah . we are . sonny : i just have one question . carly : you know what ? you 're not the person i want to hear anything from . sonny : what the hell are you thinking ? kiki : mom , someone wants you dead ? ava : yes . i was almost killed last night . kiki : what happened ? ava : well ... some people broke into my apartment and tried to abduct me . kiki : with all of your security ? ava : my security has been taken out . fortunately , someone helped me and i was able to escape . i ended up here because i did n't know where else to go for the night . morgan : no one will find her if she stays here . kiki : so people are after you . are we -- are we talking mob stuff ? are you on the outs with uncle julian again ? ava : no . not julian . julian : michael is a corinthos , and as such , he had a target painted on his back the day that sonny adopted him . jordan : yeah , but michael does n't work for sonny 's organization . he -- he manages a publicly traded company . julian : [ chuckles ] it 's not bad for an innocent kid . jordan : he 's also your niece 's boyfriend . or does n't that matter to you ? julian : [ chuckles ] you know , you and ava have the same misgivings . you see how well that worked out for her ? jordan : what about lucas ? julian : what about him ? jordan : well , your son was shot in this war . are you telling me you do n't have misgivings of your own ? julian : [ sighs ] we 're all gon na have to make some very difficult choices if we have any hope of surviving this , period . jordan : uh , survival is off the table if sonny decides to retaliate . he will burn this organization to the ground if michael becomes collateral damage . what are you talking about ? julian : this is out of my hands . this is ... what the boss wants . lulu : why would my father be doing business with julian if he 's trying to keep him away from lucas ? tracy : julian jerome does not own that gallery . his sister , breathless mahoney , does . dante : well , ava 's not squeaky clean , tracy . we got intel suggesting that they 're using that gallery as a front . add to that the fact that the undercover heard luke 's voice when talking to jerome 's boss on the phone ? i mean , it 's -- we can make a case that luke could be the head of the jerome crime family . tracy : dante , listen to yourself . are you seriously suggesting that your father - in - law is a crime boss ? lulu : wait , wait , wait . this would not be the first time . i mean , he came up in the frank smith mob . tracy : lulu , that was decades ago . your father worked tooth and nail to get out of that life . why would he go back to it now ? dante : that 's what we 're trying to figure out . tracy : you 're not seriously believing any of this ? sam : i will go to julian and ask him point blank if he 's working with luke . patrick : sam , you just ca n't go knock on the door and ask if he 's plotting against sonny . sam : no , i 'm not gon na do that . i 'm gon na lead up with something , but , yeah . patrick : why do you think that he would tell you ? sam : because he 's my father . patrick : he 's been a gangster longer than he 's known that he was your father . sam : yes , and he feels really guilty for missing most of my life . and normally when i ask him to do something for me , he does it if he can . patrick : i 'm not denying that he loves you , but julian has chosen self- preservation so many times that we 've lost count . i mean , he would n't even help silas with his stem - cell trial . why do you think he did n't do that ? sam : because he was using danny as an insurance policy so he would have one of his own with sonny . patrick : yeah , so i think you think you may be able to go to julian and get the answers , but i do n't think you have that hold on him . sam : [ sighs ] alexis : i do . julian : i have been at odds with our boss way too many times lately . we are taking enough heat without me sticking my neck out to stop some run - of - the- mill hit . jordan : killing sonny 's namesake is n't gon na be run - of - the - mill , okay ? this is war . hell ... [ chuckles ] ... it 's armageddon . julian : [ sighs ] okay , your opinion is noted . now , if i were you , i 'd get back to work . [ cell phone rings ] shawn : [ sighs ] this about ava ? jordan : no , no , no . this is a hell of a lot more important . shawn : then we 've got nothing to say to each other . jordan : shawn ! shaw -- shawn . damn it ! [ sighs ] michael : well , thank you , rosalie . i accept your apology . i know you did n't mean to do any harm . rosalie : oh , thank you . i -- i knew you 'd understand . i could , uh , tell from the first time i met you that you were a really sweet guy . michael : um , i should go change . rosalie : yeah , of course . michael : you can see yourself out . right ? i 'm sure you got things to do . rosalie : yeah . [ cell phone chimes ] rosalie : [ sighs ] give it a rest , nina . nina : oh , my god . so it was true . franco : yep . sonny and carly bumped uglies . in our bed . nina : i 'm sorry . i wish it was n't true . have you ended things with carly ? franco : hell no . i proposed . carly : i 'm not gon na do this right now . sonny : can you just let me in ? carly : are you going to lay off franco ? sonny : i 'm only human . carly : come in . go ahead . 'cause we 're gon na have to have this conversation . sonny : okay . kind of like that . carly : i now have a question for you . what the hell , sonny ? sonny : can you be a little more specific ? carly : the last time we spoke , you said you would back off . hell , you even wished me and franco well . sonny : no , no , well , see , what i meant was , i was n't gon na stand in the way , but that does n't mean that i want you to marry the freak . carly : where did you think it was heading ? sonny : well , i thought one of you would screw it up by , you know , valentine 's day . so what ? are you gon na tell me now that you set a date ? carly : next month . sonny : next month ? halloween ? ! carly : how 'd you know ? sonny : i was joking . carly : okay , i 'm not joking , all right ? franco and i are getting married on october 31st . sonny : well , you know , i 'm not surprised , because , you know , franco does n't do anything that is n't morbid , anyway . carly : no , sonny . halloween means a lot to us , okay ? sonny : no , it does n't mean a lot to you . this is franco talking . not you . this is not you at all . carly : how do you know ? maybe you do n't know me at all . sonny : oh , no , no . i do know you . you know why i do ? because you would never want to get married on halloween , and you would never marry someone like franco ! so what the hell 's going on ? carly : do you have anything else you want to tell me ? anything else you want to talk about ? sonny : max and shawn went to snatch ava last night and , uh ... she got away . ava : it 's not julian that 's after me . or his boss . at least , not at the moment . although , that could change at any time . kiki : if julian is n't after you , then who is ? ava : sonny . kiki : sonny ? that does n't make any sense with the baby coming . i -- i thought that you two would have reached a truce by now . ava : it 's more complicated than that . kiki : well , could you enlighten me , because i 'm in the dark over here . morgan : that makes two of us . my dad does n't just off people for no reason , so why would he want to kill you ? ava : the why does n't really matter . what 's important is that he does , and no truce is gon na change that . kiki : i know someone who can . morgan : hey . who you calling ? kiki : michael . he can put an end to this . ava : no . kiki : what ? ava : you ca n't do that . kiki : why not ? kobe : this michael corinthos ' place ? rosalie : yeah . kobe : good . i just need to have a word with him . he in ? rosalie : um , yeah , he 's getting changed for work , but , uh , i was just on my way out . i 'm sure he 'll be done in a few minutes if you want to try again . kobe : i can just wait inside . rosalie : or you could wait out in the hallway and i can let him know you 're here . what did you say your name was ? kobe : i did n't . rosalie : okay . well , how do i let him know who 's here if you do n't tell me who you are ? how about a name ? kobe : you 're kind of nosy , are n't you ? rosalie : yeah , i temped as a receptionist to put myself through nursing school . old habits die hard . so ... you gon na tell me who you are or you trying to surprise him or something ? kobe : or something . rosalie : hey ! excuse me ! you ca n't just barge into somebody 's house unannounced ! michael : what 's going on here ? kobe : surprise ! lulu : i do n't know what to believe , but i do know that this is not adding up . the idea of my dad as some kind of crime boss does n't make any sense . tracy : thank you . lulu : i mean , clearly this is where the evidence is leading . he 's not exactly around to defend himself . tracy : you can say that again . dante : look , it is imperative that we talk to luke so that we can get to the bottom of this . tracy , you 're really the only one who can help us do that . olivia : whoa ! oh , god . ned : [ chuckles ] [ both chuckle ] alexis : the only person who can tell us if luke is julian 's boss is julian . patrick : well , that 's true , but he 's lied to you before . alexis : that 's when we were together . we 're not together now . patrick : so would n't that mean you have less leverage ? alexis : maybe . julian has made it very clear that he would like to get back together . sam : badly enough to flip on his boss ? alexis : last night , when i was on a date with ned , julian was there . he saw it . he was very jealous , and he made a very distinct effort to reconnect . julian : try to forget about me . forget about us , forget about how we feel when we 're together . try . but you wo n't . and when you 're willing to admit what you 're feeling and who you want , you know where to find me . lulu : wait a minute . he hit on you while you were on a date with end ? alexis : the bottom line is he wants me back , and i can use that to get the answers that we need . sam : no , absolutely not . alexis : yes , absolutely yes . sam : no , absolutely not . mom , the reason why you got out of this relationship is 'cause it was too dangerous . breaking up with him was hard enough . i 'm not putting you back in that position . alexis : even if it gets you answers ? sam : no ! end of story . it 's never gon na happen . julian : [ sighs ] olivia : oh , my god . ned : olivia . um ... olivia : i am so sorry ! ned : it 's okay ! olivia : i am so sorry . ned : no , i 'm all right . olivia : you 're not all right . i probably just crushed you like godzilla . are you hurt ? ned : [ chuckling ] not in the slightest . olivia : god , when did i become this obnoxious person who ca n't take her face out of the damn cell phone for 15 seconds ? ned : i do n't want to downplay the dangers of walking and texting , but in all fairness , i was sitting on the floor . olivia : it 's the floor of a gym , ned . you 're allowed to sit on it . so ... ned : let 's just say that there 's mutual liability . olivia : you are just determined to be gracious , are n't you ? ned : well , i tend not to complain when a beautiful woman literally lands in my lap . olivia : thank you . can we please change the subject ? ned : of course . how are dante and lulu ? olivia : oh , ned , they are just blissful . home reunited with baby rocco . i was gon na go over there and send them a care package , you know , so they did n't have to do any cooking , then i realized that that was kind of , uh ... taking this mothering mother - in - law thing too a kind of new , uncomfortable height , so i said , `` well , i can do the gym , work out instead . `` ned : fundamentals of mixed martial arts ? olivia : my god , you too ? ! ned : i thought i 'd give it a try . actually , i was hoping that alexis would join me . sent her a text . but i have n't heard back . julian : well , this is a surprise . i thought you 'd still be sleeping in with ned after what was clearly a hot date last night . alexis : it was only a first date . julian : funny . did n't stop us when we were kids . and we did n't have the benefit of a hotel room right below us . alexis : we did n't date . we had a camaro . julian : mm . alexis : may i come in ? julian : by all means . alexis : i need a drink . do you want one ? julian : sure . you know , last night when you were on your first date with neddy two - shoes , i told you you would n't be able to stay away . so does this mean i was right ? you 're finally willing to admit that you want a bad man after all ? patrick : so , your mom can be persuasive . sam : boy . patrick : even to someone as stubborn as you . sam : i hate that she 's putting herself in the line of fire for us . i wish we had another move . patrick : yeah , so do i. i 'm sure you 're worried about her . sam : yes , of course i 'm worried about her . for god 's sakes , her house blew up because she was close to julian , and even if i knew that she would come out of this physically unharmed , i am so worried about her heart . patrick : she fell pretty hard for that guy , did n't she ? sam : yeah , when she fell for julian last year , she fell hard and fast . patrick : from the sounds of it , he fell pretty hard , himself . sam : uh , not hard enough . not only did he choose the mob over my mother , but he lied about it for months . i mean , can you imagine how hard this must be for her ? to have to be in the same room with someone that you are trying so hard not to be attracted to . patrick : yeah , i could understand that . dante : tracy , you 're really the only one who can get in touch with luke . lulu : he did n't leave me any way to contact him this time . dante : which is weird . why would n't he try to get in touch with his daughter , who means the world to him ? tracy : because he did n't want to bother her with the passport nonsense . lulu : well , he also did n't bother to check on me after i was kidnapped . i think something is wrong . tracy : the only thing that 's wrong is you asking me to sell out my husband . dante : no , we 're -- do n't you want answers , tracy ? look , you guys asked me to come clean with what i know and i did . now the ball 's in your court . nina : let 's see if i 'm following this . so you are engaged . franco : yes . nina : i do n't know what to say . franco : well , the word you 're looking for his congratulations . nina : congratulations . is that the word that you use when somebody just got engaged to somebody who 's cheating on them ? franco : cheated , not cheating . nina : oh . franco : kiki told me carly said it will never happen again . nina : you believe her ? franco : well , i do n't think that carly would have accepted my proposal if she still had those kinds of feelings for sonny . nina : you know what ? i really admire you . i really do . i am so impressed . you are a bigger person than i am . i think it 's very admirable that you can trust carly . franco : [ laughs ] i do n't trust carly . i do n't trust carly as far as i can throw her . carly : what do you mean ava got away ? sonny : long story short , julian 's right - hand woman intervened . ava drove off and i have no idea where her and the baby have gone . ava : michael is the last person who should be involved in this . kiki : why ? ava : damn it , kiki . you 're just gon na have to trust me . like morgan did . morgan : kiki , i think if your mom could tell us more , she would . kiki : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , mom . but i really think michael can help us here . [ cell phone ringing ] kobe : sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt your little afternoon delight . michael : if this a robbery , we 'll cooperate . okay , take anything you want . kobe : what ? this ? rosalie : [ squeals ] kobe : i do n't want this . [ ringing continues ] kobe : i did n't come for any of your crap . i came to put a bullet in you ! [ elevator bell dings ] jordan : oh , my god . thank god you 're still here . shawn : i told you i got nothing to say to you . i got to find ava . jordan : no , no , no . what you need to do is save michael corinthos ' life . shawn : what the hell are you talking about ? jordan : there is a hit going down on michael today , probably as we speak . you got to stop it before it 's too late . michael : this is about me , right ? let rosalie go . you did n't come here for her . kobe : rosalie , huh ? that 's a pretty name for a pretty girl . rosalie : thank you . kobe : i wish i could let you go . really , i do . but , unfortunately , rosalie has seen me , and i ca n't have any witnesses . nina : i want to get this straight . why on earth would you marry a woman that you do n't trust ? franco : oh , right . you 're one to give me a hard time about trust issues with your other , because -- nina : excuse me ? franco : sorry . no , you 're right . i said -- i wo n't -- nina : thanks . franco : look , i want to trust carly . i do . i want to believe in her . and i tried to be the bigger person , but she screwed sonny behind my back and then she lied about it . nina : okay , is this the part where i congratulate you . franco : kiki told me that it was a one - off thing . and she 's right . and i should n't let anyone stand between myself and my happiness . nina : okay , but part of you believes otherwise ? franco : yeah . and that part is gon na be certain that i can trust carly again before there 's ever a wedding . i made sure of it . carly : if ava were smart , she 'd vanish from this town and never show her face again . maybe it 's for the best . sonny : ava walking around , not paying for what she did . you think that 's for the best ? carly : i know you want to get justice for connie . i get that . and what ava did to her was unforgivable and leading you to do what you did to aj . i get it . sonny : she did not pull the trigger . carly : knowing that you killed aj . and that we 're both covering it up , that gives ava one hell of a trump card , sonny . and if she wants to use it , she can destroy our relationship with michael . sonny : you do n't have to remind me , carly . carly : she 's carrying your child or our grandchild . hell , if morgan turns out to be the father , do we want him connected to that family for the rest of his life ? sonny : of course not . but we 're way past the point to get to choose . carly : i hate to say it , but if ava and that baby disappear for good , all of our problems go away . kiki : michael did n't answer . ava : good . take it as a sign . kiki : i 'm sorry , mom , but no . i 'm not keeping any more secrets from michael . all that ever does is cause problems for us . morgan : kiki , listen to me . if you tell michael , he will tell my dad , and you 'll be signing your own mother 's death warrant . kiki : no , michael wo n't tell sonny where she is . you know , i never told you this , but michael has covered for you before . ava : he has ? when ? ava : that night at franco 's art show , he had every opportunity to tell sonny that you were julian 's sister . but he kept his mouth shut because i begged him to . what makes you think he wo n't cover for me this time ? ava : because -- because michael is the reason sonny wants me dead . michael : you know who my father is . anyone in your line of work knows sonny corinthos . do you have any idea of what he 'd do to you if you kill me ? kobe : that 's why rosalie has to die , too . no witnesses . he 'll never know . michael : he 'll find you . he can find anyone . rosalie : yeah . yeah . he 's sonny corinthos -- the kingpin . he 'll squash like you a cockroach . michael : whatever you think this job is worth , however much you 're being paid , it wo n't do you any good if you 're dead . kobe : i 'll die even faster if my boss things i flipped on him . michael : who 's your boss ? who wants me dead ? who are you working for ? tracy : luke , it 's me . i know you 're having trouble with your passport , but i just wanted to tell you that i saw lulu and she 's great . she 's safe and she 's health and she 's really happy to be home with rocco , but here 's the thing . i , um ... i found out why dante has been asking all of those questions about you , and w -- [ sighs ] what he said , it does n't make sense . and i do n't even want to go into it on the phone . i think you and i should meet in person . so , uh , if you ca n't talk , just text me . pick a location . i will meet you there . if you ca n't come here to me , then i will hop on a plane and come to you , wherever you are . i miss you . i ... hope i hear from you soon . i love you . dante : nice work , tracy . lulu : we really appreciate it . tracy : yeah , well , i hope you know what you 've gotten me into . [ sighs ] julian : [ sighs ] alexis : to bad boys . julian : cheers . mm . alexis : do n't get me wrong . ned is great . he 's very nice . but maybe niceness is not all that i want . and maybe ... i want you . julian : uh ... i do n't think so . this is too easy . you gon na tell me what you 're really up to ? alexis : i think it 's obvious why i 'm here , because i 'm having trouble staying away , which is hard enough for me to admit without you making it all weird . julian : no . no , this is ... an about face . it 's too sudden . you 're up to something . olivia : whoa , oh ! busted !

[ scene_break ] paul : has n't rivera been at large for quite some time ? michael : yes . but he could have been operating from underground . carlos is a viable suspect . i mean , he murdered duke lavery on command from julian jerome , so it 's not a stretch to think that he would have tried to kill our father . i mean , anna , you know how ruthless he is . anna : yes . yes . i can vouch for that , yes . michael : anna was the last person to see carlos before he escaped . now , we all know he 's out there free to target whoever the hell he wants . i mean , am i right ?

[ both chuckle ] nikolas : ... who took his baguette that he mistakenly left in the linen closet and returned it to the kitchen . hayden : well , who wants crumbs on the towels ? [ chuckles ] nikolas : i also see a woman who has as much compassion for a bitter man like sloane as she does for a sweet , old soul like alfred . but -- but , but , but -- i also see a woman that ... i 'm not sure i can trust . hayden : oh ? well , um -- [ clears throat ] that 's good . i was starting to sound like a saint . [ chuckles ] why ca n't you trust me ? nikolas : you say you ca n't remember jake 's real identity . i 'm just not sure i believe that . hayden : fair enough . i do n't really believe that jake 's identity being a secret is a secret that your grandmother only shared with me . nikolas : mm . then i suppose we 're at a stalemate . hayden : nikolas . come here . if i had any memory of jake 's real name , do n't you think i would have told somebody by now ?

[ scene_break ] ava : you were in the business . you have a family . julian : but you know lucas and sam were full - grown adults by the time i met them . i certainly did n't have a fellow mobster battling me for custody . ava : as far as the courts know , i 'm simply an art dealer . julian : but your baby - daddy knows otherwise . ava : so the playing field is completely level , then . sonny runs his organization , i run mine . if he tries to use that as some kind of leverage in court , i 'll just shove all of his dirty deeds back into his dimpled face . julian : [ sighs ] okay , then . i guess you have it all covered . ava : would you expect less of me ? julian : [ sighs ] still . i ca n't help worrying about it . but you know what ? you got me off the hook with sonny 's crew . now i can walk around corners without fearing for my life . i owe you that . ava : do n't you forget it . julian : mnh - mnh . you know , i 'm gon na miss the smell of your burnt toast in the morning .

in the cartel meeting , ava is able to convince michael that there 's a good possibility it was carlos rivera who shot sonny even though nobody has seen or heard from carlos in a long time ( since anna killed him after he shot and killed duke ) . michael immediately goes to the police station to find dante and speak to the new da to inform them of that . when paul hears that ava gave michael this `` information `` , he recalls telling her he expects her to `` cover `` for him by implicating julian after informing her that it was he ( paul ) who shot sonny . while they speak about this , anna happens to be there overhearing and very worried to hear that people are `` looking for `` carlo and wondering where he may have disappeared to . ava goes to talk to julian about the same thing , assuring her brother that while many people believe he shot sonny including the cops and da , she lead them in another direction . she does not let on to julian that she knows paul tried to kill sonny and he seems to know it 's kind of odd that she would `` know `` the shooter would be carlos as it does . she does not reveal to her brother that paul shot sonny and wanted to set julian up for it . meanwhile , sloane is drinking and upset that anna sold him down the river . he runs into nikolas and hayden at the floating rib and tells them he regrets giving up his chance to have anna in order to help nikolas and work for him . sloane also recalls that he knows the secret that anna devane murdered carlos and he covered for her . right when paul is at the station talking to anna , michael and dante about whether carlos shot sonny as well as where one might find carlos , he gets a call from sloane who informs him he has some `` information `` regarding the former da anna devane and the disappearance of carlos rivera . sloane meets with paul on the docks and informs him he has the evidence needed and what he wants in exchange is complete immunity . paul tells him normally that would work for him but he realizes it would ruin his plans for who really shot sonny corinthos . paul reminds sloane that the mayor might not mind getting rid of sloane and at that point he shoots sloane dead .

[ breathes deeply ] kevin : what ? laura : for what you did for me in greece . how you took a bullet to protect me from valentin cassadine . and , uh , he wrote -- it 's funny -- as `` the noble patriarch of his family , `` those are his words -- he actually wanted to apologize to you and ... i do n't -- well , it 's all in there . just read it . kevin : i look forward to reading it . laura : you know , um ... i , uh ... i do think about that ... a lot . kevin : do you ? laura : yeah . the way you took a bullet for me to protect me . that 's not something you forget about .

[ scene_break ] jordan : yeah , these could be the same cuff links that valerie id 'd , and they are -- they 're somewhat rare , but ... anna : okay , pull up the other picture . all right , so , i could n't find those exact shoes , but i did find one similar in paul 's closet . jordan : there would be . paul 's a well - dressed man . he 's got an important job , you know ? he 's gon na have good shoes . anna : all right , all right . now , i know it 's nothing on its own , but then , when you consider the fact that he has clippings of nearly every murder victim in here ... jordan : okay . that 's also still very circumstantial . anna : yeah . normally , i would agree with you , yes . but for one fact -- you and i , we both know that paul 's killed before . [ scene_break ] paul : i should start at the beginning . you know that susan was the light of my life . tracy : i - i recall . paul : good . sit , sit . well , she still is . okay ? but that light has been shattered . see , it started when she was a teenager . she got with the wrong crowd . she started doing drugs . her supplier was a kindly pharmacist -- owen ellis . tracy : oh , i see where this is going . paul : so , i got susie clean and sober . i got her into a halfway house that was run by sandra jenkins . tracy : how did she ... do wrong by your daughter ? paul : so [ chuckles ] susie had a tiny relapse , okay ? she broke curfew , she took some pills , and jenkins expelled her from the program . and try as i might ... i was never able to get my susan truly straight again , and ... tracy : i 'm so sorry . paul : and then she got involved with kyle sloane . tracy : sloane ? paul : sloane . tracy : the -- the ex - police commissioner ? paul : he was an abusive , controlling pig , and he ended up raping my susan , so i killed him first . tracy : oh , my god , paul . i had no idea . paul : so , after the rape , she needed medical attention , and she got herself to general hospital and ultimately to monica . tracy : monica ? paul : yes , monica ... is the last person responsible still alive . she wo n't be for long .

[ scene_break ] anna : paul murdered kyle sloane , and , yes , he claimed that kyle had raped his daughter susan . jordan : i mean , i 'm not excusing murder , by any means , but , i mean , that was a very isolated incident . it was an act of revenge . i mean , it ' a far cry from a serial killer . anna : i know . and i accepted paul 's account of what happened with kyle , that he -- he acted in the moment , he was avenging his daughter . but looking back , he was very cold - blooded and methodical in how he covered his tracks . so , that kind of deliberate calculation ... does n't that fit the description of the gh killer ? jordan : yeah . the earlier killing , sure , but ... the attempt on elizabeth webber , the murder of sabrina santiago -- those do n't appear to be planned out . anna : right . and there 's no clippings of elizabeth or sabrina in here , which supports the theory that both of them were collateral damage , that they saw something that they should n't . these were the intended victims . paul targeted them for a reason . so what we have to do is find out what the connection is . [ scene_break ] tracy : okay , back up a minute . i do n't see how monica is responsible for your daughter 's condition . paul : after that pig sloane had raped my susie , she went to general hospital . she went to the emergency room and told the doctor there that she had been raped . and this idiot , incompetent doctor -- tracy : was it mayes ? paul : yes , mayes . that 's the one . he screwed up her rape kit . and to make matters worse , the only witness to the rape , this julie prescott , she refused to testify . tracy : i still do n't see how monica fits in . paul : i went through susan 's correspondence , and i found a letter that monica had written . she said she was sorry , but without a proper rape kit , the hospital could n't help the police with the investigation . tracy : paul , that 's not monica 's fault ! her hands were tied . mayes was the one that screwed up the rape kit . you killed him . you avenged that act . you honored your promise to yourself and to susan . please , please leave monica out of this . paul : no , it 's too late . she remembered my cologne . tracy : oh , please , paul . how many people wear that cologne ? hundreds of thousands . it 's not enough to identify you . paul : i ca n't take that risk ! i 'm done making mistakes ! so it is now time for me to tie up every loose end ! [ scene_break ] sam : there 's something i kind of did n't tell you when i was at julian 's trial . jason : what 'd you leave out ? sam : i left out the fact that i slapped him across the face and told him that he disgusted me . jason : oh . nice . well , at least he 'll know that you 're honest , so when you tell him that it 's in his best interest to leave town , he will know that you 're telling the truth . sam : okay . all right . well , i 'm willing to give it a shot . i 'll talk to julian if you 're willing to talk to sonny . jason : yeah , well , i do n't work for sonny anymore , so i ca n't really tell him how to handle his business . sam : i know , but you still are his friend , are n't you ? jason : yes , i 'm his friend . sam : okay . talk to him as his friend . make him see all the ways that this could go wrong . please . jason : yeah , well , problem is , i ... know too much . [ scene_break ] maxie : look , i told nathan if charlotte was his daughter that i would support him 100 % , and i meant that . griffin : i know . maxie : okay . so , maybe , way down the road , i wo n't think of this situation as the train wreck it is now . i 'll think of it as something that made me stronger , made our marriage stronger . griffin : that 's a great way to look at it . maxie : that still does n't explain the rest of it . griffin : the rest of what ? maxie : well , i think you 're a good person . and i ca n't stop thinking how two wonderful and brilliant men , one who actually took a vow of celibacy , got involved with a woman like claudette .

[ scene_break ] anna : what if all these victims are somehow connected to susan 's past ? jordan : well , the best way to find that out would be to ask susan herself . do you know where we can find her ? anna : i do n't know . um , dillon had mentioned one time that she had a store in bar harbor . uh ... suki 's , i think ? suki 's ? but we do n't know that she 's gon na be willing to talk to us , and we do n't want her to alert her father . jordan : okay . but i think we should at least be able to contact her . okay . i 'm gon na find some information on her . what are you thinking ? anna : well ... paul had mentioned to me that susan needed professional help . and this social worker , sandra jenkins ... i 'm just wondering if there 's a connection there . [ scene_break ] paul : you saw susan . she 's a shell . she 's broken . and they had to pay for what they did . tracy : i understand . what happened to susan was horrible , and -- and the people who were responsible needed to be made accountable . paul : well , thank you for hearing me out . it helps to be able to explain . especially now . tracy : why especially now ? paul : well , elizabeth and sabrina , they were never part of this . and i hated what i had to do . but at least elizabeth is ... she 's gon na be okay , but look at sabrina . tracy : what ? paul : what i did was -- was terribly wrong , and i 'm -- and i 'm guilty , and i will have to live with that . tracy : well , fine . then you live with it . do n't make dillon live with it . we have to put this behind us for his sake . paul : thank you so much for listening . i really appreciate your empathy . and i promise you that dillon will never have to know what i 've done , because you wo n't be able to tell him . tracy : paul ? paul : please . you must have known that i could n't ever let you walk out of here alive .

[ scene_break ] claudette : things ended horribly between us , and that was my fault , but when you shot griffin , you scared me . i did n't know that i could push you that far . i did n't know that you could be that violent . and griffin ... he was so ashamed about what happened between us , he did n't want anything to do with me . so i lost both you and griffin . and then , miraculously , i had charlotte . and she was the one good thing that i got to keep . i did n't want to share that . i did n't want to tell you about her . nathan : okay . so , what changed ? claudette : i got involved with ... a very , very bad man . nathan : that still does n't really tell me anything . claudette : nathan , ca n't you see ? after everything that we 've been through ? i 'm scared . i 'm scared to tell you where charlotte is , and i do n't scare easily . nathan : okay .

while with tracy after finding out she 's overheard his conversation with his daughter , paul knows she 's onto him even though she says otherwise . she urges him to , at the very least , have regard for their son and how it would affect him . yet he knows what tracy intends to do if he does not stop her so he makes it clear he will have to kill tracy in order not to be brought to justice for the hospital killings . meanwhile , anna discovers the cuff links in paul 's empty hotel room and contacts jordan . at first , they realize that is only circumstantial evidence and they have no real proof nor clear cut motive for paul to murder all the people who have been murdered at the hospital . however , they brainstorm and anna remembers what she heard him reveal about how he needs to get justice for what happened to his daughter susan and how that could relate to gh hospital staff . meanwhile , nathan obtains the test results which state that he is the biological father of claudette 's daughter charlotte . yet he asks claudette what her big secret is regarding this man she is hiding from and hiding their daughter from . she finally replies his name is valentin cassadine . meanwhile kevin finds laura flying into town . they talk about spencer , keeping him safe from valentin and how they might want to see each other again some time soon . sam and jason talk about concerns she has about her mom and how julian has to be stopped . they both realize how sonny might take the law into his own hands and maybe jason needs to communicate with him in order to prevent further consequences .

[ chuckles ] i suppose that was rude , huh ? well , let me make it up to you . how about a cup of tea or a brandy or a - a cure for polonium poisoning ? patrick : when i found out that britt 's mom was faison 's partner in crime , my head exploded . this is the woman that i dated whose baby i allegedly fathered . i mean , she 's one degree of separation from the psycho that had been obsessed with you for ... forever . anna : so , you do n't think it 's a coincidence either ? patrick : as far as i know , faison always used the ones that you loved most to get to you , right ? which -- including robin . and , i mean , i 'm -- i was robin 's husband . anna : so britt set you up , huh ? patrick : all i know for sure is that britt 's mom was working with faison , which makes her unbelievably dangerous , which is why i did n't want her anywhere near ... my son . so , that 's when i told britt that i wanted full custody of the baby . anna : and what did she say to that ? patrick : that 's when she told me that somebody else was the father of that little boy . dr. obrecht : close your mouth . you might swallow a fly . britt : you ca n't be here . you 're wanted by the police . dr. obrecht : is that your excuse for rudeness ? how dare you hang up on your own mother . britt : i 'm sorry i ever answered the phone . unfortunately , i did n't recognize the number . dr. obrecht : you should have been happy to hear my voice . britt : i do n't want to hear from you , mother . i definitely do n't want to see you . dr. obrecht : more rudeness . britt : you 're a wanted criminal . dr. obrecht : as usual , you underestimate your own mutter . the police can not stop me . interpol , the wsb -- none of them will stand in my way . britt : to do what ? dr. obrecht : did your brain leave your body with the afterbirth ? my purpose here is obvious . i 'd have paddled across the atlantic in a dingy ... to see my new grandson ! felix : brad ? who said anything about brad ? sabrina : felix , look . hey . i know that you 've been alone for a long time , but brad is not the answer . felix : i know you 're trying to be helpful and concerned , but it 's coming off as patronizing . sabrina : look , i 'm just being practical . he 's a sneak , he 's a blackmailer , and a voyeur who watches you in the shower . felix : all of the above . i so wanted to be wrong about him . sabrina : yeah , well , you were n't . the guy is a sneak . felix : i know that . i even told him that he was incapable of doing the right thing . i even challenged him to do something helpful , something selfless . sabrina : and what did he do ? slither back under a rock and wait for your next shower ? felix : i thought so . but then i ran into ellie earlier , and she said that brad ran out of here going on about how he 's on his way somewhere to do the right thing . maxie : how could he possibly know ? spinelli : brad , this is a sacred event , a private , family ceremony . you have no business here . brad : oh , i have business here . not as much as you , obviously . olivia : okay , who -- who is this guy and what is he doing interrupting my grandbaby 's christening ? lulu : i 'd like to know that , too . dante : wait a minute . i know you . spinelli : yeah . he works in the hospital lab . brad : i 'm the manager . nikolas : only because you made a deal with britt westbourne . brad : you know , if you all would have just let me speak , i could ha been done and gone by now . dante : fine . say what you have to say and get it over with . spinelli : i 'm sorry , dante , but i must object . brad : oh , i bet you must . nikolas : nobody wants to hear what you have to say , not when you turned your back on your own son . olivia : okay , you got me all turned around here . what baby are we talking about -- the westbourne baby or this one ? here , are n't you ? you 're looking for the cure for what ails us both . you see , helena cassadine infected you with the same radioactive isotope the balkan introduced into my bloodstream . he did it with a bullet . how did , uh , helena get to you ? luke : earring . jerry : ah ! [ chuckles ] how original . and here we are like shipmates on a slowly sinking lifeboat -- you , me , and our mutual friend , sean donely . luke : oh , i hate to disappoint you , but he is n't a friend of yours , either . jerry : oh , he is . i 'll have you know that when i was indisposed , he very kindly claimed the $ 88 million for me . luke : i know . i followed the money and found him . jerry : yes . in exchange for his assistance , i supplied him the remedy for the symptoms of polonium poisoning . and i assume he paid it forward by sharing it with you . luke : well , what can i say ? he 's a giver . jerry : well , i assume there was only so much to spare . i can see by your current state that the remedy is wearing off . luke : well , you look in fine health . so , if the offer still stands for a drink , i 'll take whatever you 're having . jerry : i 'm really mad that you told our friend donely about my lab in corinth , pennsylvania . i mean , it was a real chore to have to pick up and go . luke : you seemed to do it quickly . jerry : [ chuckles ] yes . i was long gone by the time you and ms . sutton arrived , leaving you to tackle with dr. obrecht . dr. obrecht : i hope you are breast - feeding , britta . it will help him grow . and it will aid in your apparently lackluster efforts to lose the baby weight . britt : okay . that 's it . give him to me . give me my son . dr. obrecht : i am his grandmother . britt : so what ? it 's not like you expressed any interest in him before . dr. obrecht : i had to protect myself from sorrow in case something went wrong . britt : okay , you 're the only thing that could go wrong , mother . give him to me . hi . hey . dr. obrecht : heidi klum walked the catwalk mere weeks after giving birth to her fourth child -- her fourth -- wearing nothing but spandex and feathers . britt : are you okay , ben ? that mean lady did n't hurt you , did she ? huh ? dr. obrecht : ben ? ! what is this `` ben `` ? britt : ben is my son 's name . dr. obrecht : that is no name for a baby . that is a name for a rat . i thought we agreed to name him cesar to honor your father . britt : i never agreed to that . do not push me , mother . the last time you tried to force this on me , remember what happened ? i - i found out that you tried to kill duke lavery . dr. obrecht : i was trying to rid the earth of that schlampe , anna devane . anna : what a situation . i was really sorry when i found out that britt 's child was n't yours . patrick : were you ? really ? anna : well , i mean , do n't get me wrong . i was thrilled that she was gon na be out of your life and away from emma . but ... i know how much you were looking forward to having a son . that could n't have been easy . patrick : no , it was n't . but thankfully for sabrina and , of all people , nikolas cassadine -- anna : nikolas ? patrick : they both helped remind me that i need to focus on the ones that i love and the ones that i still have in my life . anna : that 's very good advice . patrick : [ chuckles ] you 're one of them . anna : i 'm honored to be on the short list with emma . and sabrina . is everything all right ? patrick : emma 's fine . she -- she 's great . i 'm just a little worried about me and sabrina . sabrina : brad announced that he was going off to do the right thing . felix : that 's what ellie said . sabrina : sounds to me like he said it in front of her just so it can get back to you . felix : wait , so you think this is another con ? sabrina : are you kidding ? you threw down the gauntlet , told brad that he could n't do it , and now he 's pulling out the smoke and mirrors to show you that he can . felix : oh , my god . sabrina , what have i done ? have i turned you into a jaded skeptic ? sabrina : [ chuckles ] felix : you used to be so eager about giving everyone the benefit of the doubt . sabrina : yeah , well , everyone but brad . felix : mm . sabrina : and britt . and anytime you might end up getting hurt , and then i 'm just as skeptical as you were when britt was playing all of her games . felix : you 're such a good friend . sabrina : it 's just my turn . look , felix , whatever brad comes back and tells you , do n't trust him , okay ? felix : i know . i know . but i ca n't help thinking what right thing he 's gon na try to convince me he 's done . i mean , it 's not like he 's gon na step up and be the britt 's baby daddy . sabrina : are you kidding ? brad changing diapers , singing lullabies , saving for college ? no . felix : [ chuckles ] i do n't see it . as a matter of fact , i do n't see any of it . i mean , of all the semen in all the sperm banks in all the world , why did britt choose brad 's to make a baby to pass off as patrick 's ? sabrina : maybe his was the handiest ... so to speak . nikolas : yes , brad . why do n't you tell us which baby you 're talking about here ? brad : well , it 's , uh -- i , uh ... [ clears throat ] okay , so , the baby -- olivia : which baby ? dante : you came up to me a few weeks ago in the hospital and you said something about patrick not being britt westbourne 's baby 's father , but you were ? brad : that 's right , but that 's not why i 'm here . dante : and you had a black eye 'cause patrick punched you . maxie : not hard enough , obviously . olivia : wait a minute . wait a minute . you 're interrupting this christening so you can file some kind of a report ? did it ever occur to you to go to the police station ? spinelli : you know , in the interest of expediting justice , why do n't i escort you there myself ? dante : wait , wait , wait , spinelli . what 's going on , man ? you in trouble or something ? brad : no . no , no . i 'm not in trouble . i 'm trying to right a wrong . nikolas : look , i do n't know why you 'd choose to announce it here , but if you 're finally ready to step up and be a father to your son , do n't let anyone here stop you . brad : look , this is n't about westbourne 's baby , okay ? it 's about yours . lulu : wait a second . wait . you 're the lab manager . is there something wrong with connie ? is our baby sick ? brad : no , no , no . it 's nothing like that . connie -- she 's fine . lulu : well , then , what is so urgent ? what do you have to tell us about our baby ? brad : this baby ... is n't yours . she 's maxie 's . you tried to murder someone . and then when the police showed up , you took off and left me holding the bag . dr. obrecht : as i recall , i left you holding a bowl of popcorn . carbs , britta . brenda : oh , my -- anna devane arrested me , mother . dr. obrecht : then you should be pleased that she was my intended target , no ? britt : i was nine months ' pregnant . i could have spent the night in prison if nikolas had n't intervened . dr. obrecht : did prince charming show up on a white horse for his saftig damsel in distress ? well played , britta . britt : oh , so , now you approve of nikolas ? dr. obrecht : he 's a cassadine . you finally made patrick jealous by shacking up with the irrelevant prince . patrick will discard the mouse and take you and his son into his home . britt : that 's not gon na happen . dr. obrecht : of course it will , with mutter 's help . i must admit i was worried during my last visit . you were pathetic , mewling about how you wanted to tell patrick the truth about the baby . but jealousy is a great motivator . and soon patrick will open his home to you and his son . britt : no . he wo n't , mother . and you know why ? because i finally told him the truth . dr. obrecht : you did what ? ! britt : yeah . i stopped listening to your orders and started thinking for myself . i told patrick that ben is n't his son . do n't you ... luke : ms. sutton and i handled dr. obrecht . jerry : oh , did you now ? luke : would i be here if i had n't ? jerry : that 's rather counterproductive , do n't you think ? why make an enemy of the good doctor when you could have appealed to her scientific side , persuaded her to help you ? luke : is that how you got madame curie to help you ? jerry : oh , no , no , no . i came to dr. obrecht as a simple patient . and she took very good care of me . that 's until her superior showed up . luke : cesar faison . jerry : [ chuckles ] as it turns out , faison is -- was on a quest to fund the cure . not wanting to foot the bill himself , he , of course , wanted to extort money from me . he wanted an enormous sum . luke : $ 88,111,000 -- the dead man 's hand in dollars . jerry : that 's right . it was sufficient to cover faison 's price . luke : and it did n't matter that you had to poison an entire town ? jerry : it 's the cost of doing business . alas , the collateral damage was higher than i anticipated . luke : so then you got madame mengele 's help . jerry : to my surprise , the good doctor obrecht has a bigger heart than he sturdy exterior shows . she took pity on me . luke : did she find you a cure ? jerry : no . she did not . luke : [ sighs ] jerry : but she did the next best thing . she found a brilliant doctor to manufacture one . anna : i thought you and sabrina would be ecstatic now that britt 's finally out of your lives . patrick : we were . i mean , we -- we are . anna : yeah . but ... what ? patrick : i mean , it 's good . everything started to kind of calm down for me and sabrina . no britt . no baby . [ sighs ] but then another problem showed up . anna : what ? patrick : her ex - boyfriend -- this guy that she dated in puerto rico . he 's in town , and he wants her back . anna : does he , now ? patrick : yeah . and he went right to work on sabrina trying to undermine our relationship . anna : undermining it how ? patrick : [ chuckles ] well , the first time that the three of us were in the room together , he ... threw it right in my face . i 'm still wearing my wedding ring . sabrina : honestly , i could care less if that baby 's brad 's . after everything that he helped britt get away with and after everything that he 's done to you and god knows how many other people -- felix : okay . he 's run out of chances . sabrina : good . felix : so , how about your good - looking friend , uh , carols ? did he find you ? sabrina : he found me all right . felix : any chance he asked about me ? sabrina : oh , no . he 's straight . felix : you sure ? sabrina : positive . felix : and you know this because ... ? sabrina : because he 's my ex - boyfriend . felix : ooh ! [ chuckles ] so , what happened when , uh , he found you ? any regrets ? sabrina : [ chuckling ] no . he has a few , though . felix : about you ? sabrina : do n't act so surprised . he wants me back . felix : ooh . talk to me , sister . lulu : brad , you 're confused . brad : no , i 'm not . nikolas : i am . lulu : uh , it 's very simple , really , and i appreciate your concern , but maxie may have carried our daughter for us , but connie is definitely our flesh and blood . brad : no . i know maxie was your surrogate , but this baby is n't your flesh and blood . she 's maxie 's . lulu : that does n't make any sense . where would you get an idea like that ? brad : [ scoffs ] om him . spinelli : w -- i - i never told you any such thing ! brad : i never said you told me . i heard you say it to maxie . dante : so , what you 're saying is you heard spinelli tell maxie that she was connie 's biological mother ? felix : accidentally overheard . i was n't spying or -- lulu : what do you think you heard them say , exactly ? brad : i heard spinelli say , word for word , `` no one will ever know dante and lulu 's daughter is actually our biological child . `` olivia : i do n't who you are , but you 're clearly delusional . lulu : wait a second . you are saying that our little connie is not only maxie 's daughter , that she 's spinelli 's , too ? you are telling me that the two of them are her biological parents ? brad : that 's exactly what i heard . lulu : okay . you are out of your mind . you are completely out of your mind . brad : fine . believe me or do n't believe me . i was just trying to do the right thing for once . lulu : maxie , spinelli , you never had this supposed conversation , right ? brad here is -- he 's making it up . right ? the last time . dr. obrecht : how could you do something so stupid ? why did you tell patrick ? britt : because of you . because when you could n't keep control of yourself and tried to kill duke -- oh , whoops , i 'm sorry -- anna , patrick threatened to take my kid away from me . so i had to do what i had to do . dr. obrecht : against my advice . britt : so far , all your advice has done is brought me humiliation , mother . and i am sick of it , okay ? i have a son now . i have to start thinking for myself , and you have to stay out of my life . dr. obrecht : now , schatz , stop . you are suffering from postpartum depression . you do n't mean that . britt : i am not depressed , mother . and i do mean it . you are lucky i have not called the cops . now get the hell out . luke : so , you 're telling me that dr. obrecht could n't finish the job , so she found a doctor who could ? jerry : wow . you 're keeping up with the conversation rather well for someone whose organs are shutting down . luke : and where is this alleged doctor that she found ? jerry : right behind that door , developing a cure for what used to be a terminal condition . luke : how 's it going ? jerry : oh , splendidly . why ? oh , come . sit . please . there you go . luke : because i 'm hoping you 've got enough for the whole class . jerry : and why should i share it ? you 've made it abundantly clear that you are no friend of mine . luke : well , i am dying . jerry : yes . luke : and i did secure this place for you by killing the harpy who owned it , so in a way , you owe it to both of us . jerry : yeah , well , i suppose i could do it in helena 's memory . luke : yes , you could . jerry : yeah . there 's only one problem . luke : what ? jerry : i ca n't . patrick : the guy 's a blatant manipulator . he showed up at the hospital , found out that sabrina was at my house , then came there . so she answers the door and he just grabs her and starts kissing her . anna : oh ! [ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] i take it you were n't home at the time . patrick : no , i was n't home at the time . i would have laid the guy out . anna : it 's usually best to avoid violent confrontations whenever possible . patrick : anyway , sabrina shut it down , and that should have been the end of it . anna : mm - hmm . patrick : but then he shows up at the hospital with a little minor scratch on his shoulder trying to get face time with sabrina . so i walk into the exam room , and he 's , like -- he 's got her by the wrist . anna : were they struggling ? patrick : no . but i could tell that sabrina was uncomfortable . i mean , the guy obviously does n't respect her . he does n't know boundaries , and so we kind of got into it a little bit , and i told him to back off , and that 's when he brought up the wedding ring . and he said obviously i ca n't be serious about sabrina and basically said that i think of her as a ... babysitter with benefits . anna : oh . she knows better than that , does n't she ? patrick : yeah . sabrina knows how much i care about her and how much she means to both me and emma . anna : so then , there 's nothing to worry about . patrick : the fact is that guy used everything he could to push my buttons so i would react , so i would look like a jerk , using the reason why i still have the wedding ring on , which is none of his business why i still wear it . anna : of course not . but ... patrick : but what ? anna : why are you still wearing it ? felix : so , carols `` danger `` rivera comes all the way from puerto rico to win u back ? sabrina : actually , he 's working here in port charles . felix : he hunts you down at patrick 's while patrick is gone , and then what ? sabrina : and then , he ... kissed me . felix : what ? ! [ clears throat ] what happened when he kissed you ? sabrina : [ scoffs ] i told him that i 'm in love with patrick and that patrick loves me as much as i love him . at least i think he does . felix : girl , are you crazy ? it 's obvious patrick loves you . sabrina : no , i know . i know . but maybe not as much as he loves robin . lulu : this nutcase is lying , right ? spinelli : yes . yes , lulu . brad is fabricating this story as usual . brad : go to hell , spinelli . olivia : you know , you are in a church . spinelli : yes . it is shameful to be perpetuating such a horrible lie in a house of god . shame . brad : is n't it , though ? dante : why would brad lie about this , spinelli ? lulu : dante , do you believe him ? nikolas : no , of course he does n't . he 's just trying to get to the bottom of this . dante : spinelli ? spinelli : dante , he 's manufacturing this out of thin air . maxie can corroborate . uh , this -- this supposed conversation never took place . i can swear to it . and maxie can , too . lulu : maxie , why are n't you saying anything ? maxie : because brad is lying , obviously . he always lies . how could this baby be mine and spinelli 's ? that 's not even possible . brad : hold on . i 'm telling the truth . i know what i heard . maxie : you ca n't know what you heard because we never said that . spinelli : yeah . you 're distorting the facts and then fabricating a lie like you always do . brad : yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'm a liar . i stole ellie 's job . i 've done all these bad things , and they 're coming back to bite me in the a -- olivia : church ! felix : i promised someone i 'd prove i could do the right thing , and i 'm trying to do exactly that . and this is the thanks i get ? nikolas : you actually expect to be thanked for this ? brad : [ sighs ] i do n't know you people from adam , all right ? i have no reason to lie . the fact is you two are being tricked by these two -- your so - called friends , the godparents . lulu : yeah , that 's right . maxie and spinelli are our friends . we asked them to be our daughter 's godparents . you 're -- you 're expecting us to take the word of a stranger . brad : may god strike me dead if i 'm lying . [ sighs ] spinelli : well ... [ sighs ] crazy 's left the building . [ chuckles ] uh ... but i guess things are settled . we -- we can all go home . maxie : we 're good , right ? nikolas : lulu , are you all right ? lulu : yeah . i 'm fine . [ sighs ] it 's just when i look back at my daughter 's christening , this is what i 'm gon na remember . olivia : at least you got a good story out of it . we got a huge feast planned . it 's gon na get your mind off all this bad stuff . spinelli : ah , well , i 'm famished after all this excitement . uh ... who 's with me ? maxie : oh , i lost my appetite , but i 'm sure i could get it back . let 's go . dante : wait a minute . wait a minute ! not so fast . spinelli : `` not so fast `` ? dante , i mean , is n't that -- is n't that a bit noirish for the occasion ? dante : just trying to sort some things out here , spinelli . you 've had a lot of dealings with brad , right ? spinelli : yeah . i have . dante : he sounded pretty sure of himself . spinelli : well , psychotics frequently do . dante : yeah , see , the thing is he did n't -- he did n't sound psycho to me . olivia : hon , you heard the way he was ranting . dante : yeah . he was frustrating , ma . he was frustrated , okay ? but he was -- he was coherent . nikolas : he 's an experienced liar . it 's like breathing to the guy . maxie : yeah . ca n't we just drop this ? dante : no , maxie , we ca n't . not until i understand some things . see , brad may have been upset with you , but why would a relative stranger walk in here and throw out some crazy story about our baby ? sabrina : patrick still wears his wedding band . felix : you 're right . he does . i mean , it 's only been a year and a half , right ? i mean ... sabrina : right . no . that 's totally normal , yeah ? felix : i think the more important question is how do you feel about patrick still wearing the wedding band from his late wife ? sabrina : it bothered me . a little , though , and i tried not to dwell on it , till carols just threw it in my face . god ! i hate that he always knows how to get to me . felix : well , if he needs somebody to get to , you give him my number . sabrina : the thing is ever since carols brought it up , i just ca n't stop thinking about it . and patrick tells me that he loves me . but ... every time i see that ring , i just ca n't help but wonder , you know , if he loves me enough to move on from robin . patrick : how can you , of all people , ask me why i 'm still wearing my wedding ring ? anna : oh , god knows we both loved robin . we still do . patrick : [ sighs ] anna : we always will . but you have a new relationship with a great woman who loves you , and she cares for emma as if she were her own . patrick : yeah . anna : and we both know that robin would want you to be happy . patrick : i know . i know that . i mean , just the other day , i talked to sam and i said the same thing to her -- how she has to move on from jason . and i want to do the same thing . i do . i just -- i -- i love sabrina . but i ... anna : what ? what ? patrick : i ca n't let robin go . luke : you ca n't share the cure with me or you wo n't ? jerry : well , i could say that i simply refuse . you see , poisoning port charles and extorting $ 88 million is bloody hard work . luke : yeah . i admire your fortitude . jerry : mm . and i your determination . i mean , why would i share the remedy ? all you 've done is chase me around the globe from one end of the earth to the other . luke : yes . and that 's been bloody hard work . do n't you think i deserve some sort of reward for that , some little trinket , like my life ? jerry : well , at this point , it 's moot . i 'm sorry , luke , but i ca n't share it with you . luke : why the hell not ? ! jerry : because it 's not personal ! my doctor said there is n't enough medication . it can only cure one person . dr. obrecht : now , now . we must both stop and take a breath . let me make you a cup of warm milk . you will feel better , no ? britt : no ! i do n't want anything from you , ever . i want you to get out . dr. obrecht : you do n't mean that . britt : yes , i do , mother . this is your last chance . get out ! dr. obrecht : and if i refuse , what will you do ? britt : nothing . dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] that is because you are weak . britt : no . it 's because nikolas will be home soon , and when he finds you here , he 'll call the police . dr. obrecht : then i do n't have much time . britt : for what ? anna : nobody knows better than i how hard it is to let go of robin . but you have to . you -- you -- we both do . patrick : i know you 're right . i - i know it , but i -- anna : what is holding you back ? patrick : [ sighs ] i ca n't put my finger on it . it does n't make any sense . it 's not based in any sort of fact . i just ca n't wrap my head around the fact that i 'm never gon na see her again , that i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life without her . i ca n't commit to a new life without robin . and i do n't know why , anna . i 'm just -- i 'm -- i 'm not able to do it . anna : i get that . but you have to . you have to figure it out for your sake , for your relationship , and for emma . otherwise , you 're gon na lose sabrina . felix : you need to talk to patrick about this . sabrina : and say what ?

julian : how about we skip the part where i fall for it , only to get my hopes shattered again , okay ? this time , let 's jump ahead to where you come out and tell me . what do you want to know ? alexis : just one thing . are you working for luke spencer ? julian : [ chuckles ] luke spencer ? alexis : is luke spencer the man that you 're reporting to ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] patrick : luke is out of town and apparently unreachable , so you 're the only one who we can talk to . lulu : um , what 's this about ? what do you want to know about my dad ? sam : look , we think that luke caused patrick 's car accident . [ scene_break ] nina : listen , i think that you are correct to , um , assume that it was n't sonny and carly 's only night together , based on all that history that you mentioned to me before , but , um , how are you gon na find out one way or the other ? franco : well , i 'm gon na have a front - row view of every move that carly makes between now and when she says , `` i do . `` nina : i understand your desire to keep tabs on someone you love . i mean , believe me -- i understand . but how are you gon na watch carly every moment of the day ? franco : with this . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm gon na make her pay for what she 's done . carly : ava 's dangerous , sonny . sonny : i 'm gon na make sure she 's neutralized . she 's not gon na be able to spill any secrets . no one 's ever gon na know what i did to aj . [ scene_break ] ava : i saw sonny kill michael 's father . morgan : wh - what -- what the hell are you talking about ? ava : i 'm sorry , morgan . it 's the truth . sonny killed aj quartermaine . michael : there 's no way i 'm getting out of here alive , right ? [ scene_break ] kobe : that 's right . rosalie : well , then you 're a moron ! did you not just hear him say that his father will make sure you die by inches ? kobe : ladies first . michael : i just want to know who gave you the order . who decided i have to die ? just tell me who your boss is . kobe : sure . why the hell not ? you might have even heard of him . the name 's got a long history -- shawn : drop it ! kobe : i do n't think so ! [ scene_break ] nina : yeah , i - i do n't get it . so , your phone is going to help you keep tabs on carly ? franco : okay . so , you see this app right here ? nina : oh . franco : if i -- nina : app ! yeah . app . mm - hmm . before i went into my coma , i used to refer to hors d'oeuvres as an app -- short for `` appetizer . `` franco : right . nina : yeah . and it used to drive my mom crazy that i did that . she thought it was crass . franco : well ... nina : [ chuckles ] franco : uh , never give up a chance to stick it to a crazy mother -- that 's what i say . nina : oh , my god , i never gave up . it was my life 's greatest pleasure . okay , so , now this app right here -- franco : no , no , no . nina : how are you gon na use it ... franco : what happens is -- nina : ... to track carly ? franco : you see this icon here ? this -- this tiny little picture , okay ? if i -- it 's connected to a necklace that i gave to carly as an engagement gift this morning . it 's a necklace , but it 's also a camera -- state - of - the art video , state - of - the - art audio . and if i push this button , i will be able to see exactly what carly 's up to ... and exactly who she 's up to that what with . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] okay , you 're right . ava 's a wild card . she knows too much damning information -- not just about what you did , but my part in it . i mean , if michael ever found out that i knew , he 'd hold me just as accountable as you , so ... [ sighs ] ... we 'd both lose him . sonny : so , we 're in agreement ? carly : ava needs to be found and dealt with . sonny : do n't worry , carly . it wo n't be long before i get her back ... under my control . [ scene_break ] morgan : what ? that 's crazy . kiki : we know who shot aj -- carlos rivera . this is why i wanted to hear your whole story before agreeing to help you . you lie so easily , especially when you 're using it to get yourself off the hook . you must be out of practice , though , because your story has a gaping hole in it . carlos confessed . ava : carlos confessed because i asked him to . kiki : you got a man to confess to a murder that he did n't commit ? mom , the guy is in prison for life . how did you manage that one ? ava : i gave him some incentive . [ scene_break ] shawn : let him go . kobe : yeah , i do n't think so , butler . that 's right -- i know you 're sonny 's number - one guy . funny how you showed up right as i was about to earn my money . it 's almost like you knew i was gon na be here . so tell me -- how , exactly , did you end up in the right place at the right time ? shawn : i just had to talk to michael about something . kobe : no . you came in here ready for trouble . who gave me up ? because i can think of only one person who could have tipped you off . julian : it 's interesting . this is what you want to know ? alexis : yes , this is what i want to know . are you working for luke ? julian : [ sighs ] you know , the entire reason you broke up with me is because you found out i was still in the business . you want nothing to do with it -- consequently , nothing to do with me . alexis : i needed to protect my family . someone torched my house . i did n't want my children hurt . what was i supposed to do ? julian : i accept that . that 's fine . but if you 're going to deny me the pleasure of your company , then you do n't get to ask how i spend my time , which includes who i report to . you lost that right when you walk away from me . alexis : all right , look . you 're right . you are no longer accountable to me , but i am not asking for me . i am asking for our daughter . [ scene_break ] lulu : what are you talking about ? you think that my father had you forced off the road ? patrick : look , i know it sounds crazy , but we 've been investigating the accident and trying to piece together what happened . sam : yeah , and recently , we 've come across some information that points in luke 's direction . lulu : what kind of information ? what possible reason would my father have to want to cause patrick 's accident ? tracy : there is no reason . the luke spencer i know would never do such a thing . i would stake my life on it . [ scene_break ] julian : i do n't get it . you just said your whole goal is to keep your daughters away from my business . so what does sam have to do with you asking who i work for ? alexis : sam and patrick are trying to find out who 's responsible for running patrick and his family off the road . julian : and you think that has something to do with me and the possibility that i work for luke spencer ? alexis : julian , just stop it and answer the question . who is your boss ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] tracy : i can not believe the two of you are seriously accusing luke of this terrible crime . patrick , i - i - i am so sorry for your loss . i - i ca n't even begin to imagine how traumatic it is , but it does n't give you license to go around making baseless accusations . patrick : they 're not baseless , tracy . dante : let 's just hear what they have to say . tracy : i do n't need to hear what they have to say . i am painfully aware of luke 's role in little jake 's death , but that was an accident -- one that luke deeply regretted . to think that he would possibly endanger a child 's life is ridiculous . lulu : i - i mean , it -- it ca n't be true . sam : look , i know it 's really hard to believe , but this is n't something that we would just pull out of thin air . i mean , we -- we would never come here and question your father 's character because of a random theory . lulu : well , then what makes you so sure ? patrick : we have a source . tracy : who ? [ scene_break ] nina : hmm . um , so , you put a camera in a necklace that you gave to carly , so you could see what she 's doing while you 're not there ? franco : yeah . nina : you 're spying on your new fiancée . franco : no , i 'm being proactive . you 're the one who said that she was lying . nina : well , i said that , um , you know , to help you -- help you so you could confront carly , so you could get everything out in the open , and not so you could go all `` spy vs. spy `` on her . franco : i do n't have a choice . it 's the only way i can know for sure if she 's done with sonny . nina : and if she is done with sonny ? franco : well , then the wedding goes ahead as planned . nina : and if she is n't ? what will you do then ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , so well , i guess we 'll just wait , uh , to hear from shawn and maybe have some coffee . you still have that cappuccino machine that i gave you ? carly : i never learned how to use it , and that 's why you gave it to me . sonny : mm . carly : yeah , you wanted to mock my less - than - stellar cooking skills . sonny : `` less than stellar `` ? i did n't know it had improved from `` nonexistent . `` carly : really ? sonny : [ chuckles ] no , i did n't ask you for the coffee for you to make it . i want to see the machine 'cause i 'll do the honors . remember when i used to , every morning , make you coffee ? you 'd be sleeping so beautiful , and the aroma of the coffee would wake you up . and you 'd give me that smile -- that beautiful smile that you 'd only give to me . carly : thank you for the update . um , if there 's nothing else , you need to go . sonny : why do i have to leave ? carly : bec -- you know ! do n't do this ! i 'm not playing this game with you , sonny . sonny : you really want to marry this freak ? he tried to destroy jason 's life . he set our son up to be attacked . carly : he was sick , sonny , and he had a brain tumor . sonny : ah , brain tu -- i know of the brain tumor . but he also almost told michael that i shot aj because he was angry at me . he did n't care that it would hurt michael . carly : he had a moment of weakness , and he said he was never gon na do it again . he promised me he was never gon na do it again . sonny : do you really think franco takes promises seriously ? i mean , look at -- look at -- look at -- he -- he asked you to pledge your life to him . did he buy you a ring ? is that a moment of weakness ? carly : shut up ! he loves me , and i love him , and you know what ? he gave me this . sonny : what the hell is that ? carly : it 's a necklace , sonny , and it 's called the evil eye . sonny : oh , that 's a perfect gift from the king of evil . carly : you do n't get it . no , it 's supposed to ward off evil . sonny : well , it 's not working 'cause franco 's still around . [ scene_break ] kiki : what do you mean you gave carlos an incentive ? what kind of an incentive causes a man to confess to murder ? ava : i always tried to shield you from the business when you were growing up , so it makes sense that you would n't understand . morgan : okay , then explain it to us . ava : there is a reason they call organizations like mine a family . i 've known carlos for a very long time . he 's always been quite loyal ... to a fault , some might say . so he took one for the team and confessed to sonny 's crime . morgan : okay , if my dad really did kill aj , then how could you possibly know about it ? ava : because i was there when michael 's father was shot . [ scene_break ] shawn : it does n't matter why i 'm here . all that matters is you 're not gon na get away with this . kobe : i 'm the one with the gun in the hostage 's side , so i 'm the one who says who 's going to get away with what . michael : okay , just lower your gun , walk out the door , and shawn will not shoot you . you have my word . rosalie : come on ! do it ! just get out ! forget why you came here and go before this gets any worse . kobe : shut up before i pull the trigger ! michael : you do n't have to be the one who dies here . just leave now . kobe : how about shawn leaves instead ? we 're the same -- you and me . hired guns . so why do n't you run along back to your boss and let me finish my business ? [ scene_break ] tracy : [ laughs ] spencer cassadine is your source ? sam : he said that luke told him . tracy : luke told a child that he ran patrick off the road ? patrick : not exactly , no . lulu : well , then what , exactly ? i mean , how can my father be responsible for this accident ? sam : um , let me explain this . on the night of nikolas and britt 's engagement party , spencer said that he overheard luke plotting against sonny , and then he got scared for his uncle , so he skipped school , and he went to go see luke . and when he confronted luke about it , luke threatened to hurt emma in order to keep spencer quiet . patrick : not long after that , rafe drove us off the road . spencer said that he called luke to tell him that , `` yes , i 'm gon na stay quiet , `` and that 's when luke told spencer that he caused the accident . he did it on purpose to keep him quiet . lulu : spencer has been known to embroider the truth . you think that this could be a bid for attention , like when he ran away for a few days ? sam : we thought about that , as well , but he was truly frightened when he said this to us , and i - i really believe that he believes that he 's telling the truth . dante : so , spencer heard luke plotting against sonny ? who was he plotting with ? sam : well , we 're trying to figure that out now . my mom 's actually working on it with us . we think it 's julian . what ? patrick : what ? what 's that mean ? sam : what ? do you not think that julian met with luke ? lulu : um , actually -- uh , we know that he did . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm sorry . this does n't make any sense . why would you think i was working for luke spencer ? you know i was working for lansing . how could i be working for luke spencer at the same time ? alexis : at nikolas ' engagement party to britt -- julian : oh , the party you only asked me to , because you were trying to get information out of me ? alexis : i thought you were in a meeting with ric , and then when i found ric , i saw that his big powwow was with cameron webber , so you could have been in a meeting with luke . julian : oh , just because ric was n't with spencer , you think i was ? alexis : julian , give him a break . they lost their son -- patrick and sabrina . just tell me . are you working for luke ? julian : [ sighs ] i swear to you on my life and sam 's life and everything holy ... i am not working for luke spencer . [ scene_break ] franco : hmm . what would i do if i were to find out that carly is still lying to me and carrying on with sonny behind my back ? that 's a very interesting question . nina : i know . i know . it 's very interesting . that 's why i asked . franco : well , for starters , um , i do have some information , and if that information were to come out , it would make both sonny and carly very unhappy . nina : you have information ? franco : yes . let 's just say that it would basically ensure that the rest of their lives kind of sucked . but that 's just , you know , off the top of my head . nina : is that the only thing you thought of ? franco : well , i could probably come up with some more if it were necessary . but i really do hope that it 's not . there 's only one way to find out , though . sonny : well , hey . if not coffee , can i get something else to drink ? franco : well , there you go . she 's with sonny right now . carly : i think ... i really think you need to go . nina : that 's good . she told him to go . sonny : can you at least give me a kiss goodbye ? [ scene_break ] kiki : what do you mean ? you were there at the penthouse when aj was shot ? you said you were in new york . ava : i know . that was to create a cover so it would be less likely for the police to find out the truth . morgan : so what 's the truth ? ava : well , i was in new york to see my mother , but i got back that afternoon . after the shooting , i went back to the city , and i spent the night there . kiki : you ca n't just say , `` after the shooting `` and leave it at that . you have to tell us what really happened . ava : [ sighs ] i will spare you both the gory details . the bottom line is that sonny wanted to pay aj back for killing connie , and he shot him right in front of me . morgan : this -- this does n't make sense . how -- my dad would n't shoot aj . i mean , nothing means more to that man than his honor and his code , and he promised michael that he would not touch him . ava : i 'm sorry , morgan . aj was antagonizing him , and sonny just snapped . he broke his promise ... and he 's been lying to michael about it ever since . [ scene_break ] shawn : if you 're so anxious to get out of here , no sense in causing any unnecessary casualties . how about we let the girl go ? what 's your name ? rosalie : rosalie . shawn : why do n't we let rosalie go , and the three of us can handle our business ? kobe : no one 's going anywhere . michael : she 's no threat to you , okay ? just be reasonable about this . kobe : i told you to shut up ! rosalie : no ! kobe : you , too , bitch ! shawn : how 's this gon na work out for you , man , hmm ? 'cause as soon as you pull that trigger , you 're dead . this scenario only ends up with me putting a bullet in you . kobe : yeah , that may be , but i 'm gon na take sonny 's kid with me . i said do n't move ! [ both grunting ] [ gunshot ] rosalie : oh , my god . oh , god . oh . oh , god . is he dead ? did you kill him ? michael : it 's okay , rosalie . shawn : michael . rosalie : [ sobbing ] michael : i 'm okay . shawn : why do n't you calm rosalie down ? i 'll take care of this . he 's dead . rosalie : oh , crap . oh , crap . crap ! crap ! that was -- that was self - defense . that was n't murder . michael : just breathe . breathe . breathe . everything 's okay . you 're not hurt . everything 's okay . rosalie : [ panting ] what the hell just happened ? michael : you have nothing to worry about . everything 's okay . rosalie : no , that son of a bitch just tried to kill you . he was gon na kill me , too . michael : he 's dead . he ca n't hurt you . rosalie : oh , what am i gon na do ? what am i gon na -- you gon na call the cops ? oh , crap . am i gon na have to testify or something ? michael : no , no , no . i 'm sorry this happened to you , and i 'm gon na fix it . i 'm gon na fix it . rosalie : you 're gon na fix this ? you 're gon na fix this ? michael : it 's okay . rosalie : there 's a dead guy in your living room . how are you gon na fix this ? michael : come here . shawn , call my dad . tell him we have a situation . [ scene_break ] tracy : the night of nikolas and britt 's engagement party , i found luke in the stables . he was ... with julian . patrick : spencer said he was hiding in the stables when he overheard luke talking to somebody about taking down sonny . lulu : okay , yeah , this begs a lot more questions than it answers . patrick : well , there 's got to be something to spencer 's story . why would anna be investigating luke ? lulu : anna is investigating my father because of patrick 's crash ? patrick : no , she 's investigating luke on a different matter , but she ca n't give us details about it . she actually said that dante 's the one that 's looking into it . dante : yeah . well , i know something about that . [ scene_break ] julian : i answered your question . alexis : yes , you did . i 'm just not sure that i believe you . julian : well , all i can give you is my word . alexis : that 's right . so , um , thank you for answering the question . [ sighs ] and that 's it . julian : [ sighs ] hold on a second . is that the only reason for this visit ? alexis : what ? julian : well , sam could have come talked to me herself , but you decided to do it for her . why is that ? alexis : because i thought that i would have a better chance of getting the answer from you . julian : no , no . i do n't buy that . alexis : you do n't ? julian : mnh . i mean , have n't we both had enough of these pretenses -- pretending like we do n't care about each other ? and when i saw you last night , i felt something . so did you . it did n't matter that you were on a date with another man . so , no matter how much you try to deny it , you want to be with me , and that 's the real reason why you came here today . so now i want you to answer my question honestly . can you deny that you want to be with me ? [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , this is why i could n't tell you the truth . i 'm so sorry . but do you understand now -- both of you ? i moved into sonny 's house , because i did n't have a choice . he thought i would leave town with the baby . morgan : would you have done that ? 'cause that baby might be mine . would you have just disappeared and not let me see the kid ? ava : sonny wants me dead because i 'm the only witness to him shooting aj . he needs to ensure that i will never reveal his crime . the only thing protecting me is this baby . his plan is to keep me locked up until i give birth and then murder me . kiki : okay , so what about the time in between aj getting shot and you getting pregnant ? why did n't he just kill you then ? ava : i tried to prove my loyalty to sonny . i tried to stay in his good graces . but it did n't last long . he made it perfectly clear to me that i was living on borrowed time . he does n't want me to ever be able to testify against him . he was ready to kill me in puerto rico until i told him i was pregnant . kiki : do you have proof ? ava : p - proof ? kiki : you say that you were in the penthouse when aj was shot . you admit that you got carlos to confess to a murder that he did n't commit , but what you ca n't prove is that sonny was the one who shot aj . ava : kiki ... i swear it . kiki : like you swore to me that -- that franco was my father ? you will lie about anything at any time . ava : no ! not about this . kiki : oh , and you knew that morgan and i would n't help you if you were the one who shot aj , so you turned it around and said that sonny did it . [ scene_break ] sonny : ava used you to get to me and the organization . i - i think you know that . you 're not the only one . she played me for months , and she goaded me into doing something terrible , and then she held it over my head . [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , your mom 's telling the truth . kiki : [ sighs ] okay , believe her because you want to believe her . morgan : no . no , my dad -- my dad told me that she witnessed something he did -- something that he regretted -- something that you were holding over his head . he did it . he killed aj . that 's the secret that you two were keeping . you two were the only ones that knew about it , and that 's what bonded you together . ava : yeah . but i 'm not the only person who knows . kiki : who else ? ava : well , the two of you know now , obviously . but there 's another person who knows . your mother . [ scene_break ] franco : she 's not saying anything . why is she not saying anything ? nina : just give her a chance to answer . carly : i told you i 'm marrying franco . sonny : well , that 's not an answer to my question . i just -- can you just -- can you just give me one kiss goodbye ? [ cell phone rings ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i just got to ... shawn , is this about ava ? what about michael ? what happened ? shawn : hey , i 'm at michael 's apartment . yeah , there 's been a situation . no , michael 's okay , but , uh , you 'd better get down here . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] alexis : [ sighs ] julian : you know what ? [ sighs ] i 'm not doing this . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , dante , i - i know that you ca n't give us confidential police information , but if your investigation into luke has anything to do with the accident or meeting with jerome , i 'd really appreciate you giving us anything you can help us with . dante : i ca n't tell you much , but what i can tell you is what i told them . we have an undercover who was on the phone with who they thought was a known jerome associate , and it sounded like luke 's voice . sam : okay , so there could be something to our theory . dante : it 's possible . patrick : so , what do we do now ? dante : well , we have a plan in motion . we got tracy trying to get ahold of luke . tracy : i left him a message , and now all we have to do is wait for him to reply . [ scene_break ] morgan : no , how could my mom know that my dad shot aj ? ava : apparently , aj told her on his deathbed . morgan : because my mom was -- she was the only one in the room when he regained consciousness before he died . ava : right . and with his last breath , he told carly who his killer was , and she 's kept it to herself ever since . we 're all well aware of carly 's loyalty to sonny . kiki : how could she keep something like this from michael ? ava : carly and sonny talked about it . they decided that if michael found out , it would destroy him , so they decided he should never know . kiki : that is not their decision to make . michael deserves to know the truth . he has a right to know that sonny is the man who killed his father . [ scene_break ] michael : um , i 'm not much of a drinker , so there 's no scotch in the house . so ... rosalie : oh . that 's better than nothing . [ sighs ] how -- how are you so calm ? michael : i plan to freak out any minute . i just want to thank you first . you -- you saved my life . rosalie : yeah , um , i think you have that the other way around . michael : no , you distracted him , and you gave me a chance to get my hand on the gun . rosalie : well ... [ clears throat ] you 're welcome , i guess . [ chuckles ] michael : so , when you -- when you -- when you freaked out -- when you freaked out , was that , uh -- was that real , or was it an act ? rosalie : um , a little of both , i guess . i mean , i had to do something , right ? [ exhales deeply ] so , uh , do you -- do you regularly have people coming over to shoot you ? michael : it 's the first time in a while . rosalie : well , you should , uh -- you should probably post a warning or something , you know , so people know better than to visit . michael : yeah , i 'm really sorry this happened to you . rosalie : [ chuckling ] you know , the funny thing is that , um , i - i thought your brother was the wild one . michael : oh , he is . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm pretty boring . ask anyone . sonny : what happened ? shawn : michael 's inside . he 's safe . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : okay . shawn : we should do this inside . carly : michael . are you okay ? michael : i 'm okay . carly : what the hell happened here ? shawn : well , this guy came out of the blue . said he had a contract to kill michael . carly : what ? michael : i 'm -- i 'm okay . i 'm fine . sonny : you took him out ? shawn : michael did . carly : no . michael . no ! michael : everything 's okay . sonny : i need to know exactly what 's happening , and , uh , how does she fit in here ? michael : rosalie came here to visit . this guy showed up . he pulled out a gun . he was about to pull the trigger when shawn showed up . sonny : okay . how did you know this was happening ? shawn : i got a tip that someone was after michael , and i got here as fast as i could , and the guy had him at gunpoint . michael : yeah , if shawn did n't show up when he did , rosalie and i would be dead . sonny : shawn , thank you for protecting my son . shawn : look , i 'm just glad i got here on time . sonny : who is this piece of garbage ? michael : uh , he was about to tell me who he worked for when shawn burst in . [ scene_break ] nina : okay , that -- we 're just gon na do with this . franco : what are you doing ? nina : what do you -- franco : is this keep - away ? nina : come and get it if you want . franco : we 're in public , but do n't think i wo n't . nina : [ chuckles ] listen . just hold on , all right ? you 're not getting your phone back . carly and sonny -- they did n't kiss each other . franco : yeah , we do n't know that because you took the phone away from me before we could really find out . nina : he said , `` i want a kiss . `` she said , `` no , i 'm marrying franco . `` did you not hear her say , `` i 'm marrying franco `` ? franco : well , i - i heard that , but -- nina : but -- but -- but -- but nothing . you said you were only going to act if carly was cheating on you , and she 's not cheating on you . franco : well , not at this particular moment . nina : at this particular moment , franco , you 're acting kind of crazy . franco : [ scoffs ] oh -- oh , okay . yeah , no , i am . the -- the lady who 's pretending that she needs to be in a wheelchair is calling me crazy . nina : okay , i 'm gon na say this to you as your friend . as your friend , as your pal , you need to stop . you need to stop before you go off the deep end , because you may not be able to come back . [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , okay , i - i get what you 're saying about mikey 's right to know , and -- and normally , i would agree , but if michael found out that our dad killed aj and that our mom helped him , it would kill him . it would kill him . michael 's been through a lot , kiki -- a lot of crap you would n't even believe -- but this -- this would destroy something inside of him . kiki : he 's going to see that sonny and carly betrayed him . morgan : no . if we tell michael , he will hate both of my parents . it will destroy his relationship with both of them forever . [ scene_break ] rosalie : so , what happens now ? sonny : well , that 's what we 're gon na discuss . okay , it 's important for you to understand nothing happened here . michael : dad , rosalie 's been through a lot . sonny : my son saved your life , did n't he ? rosalie : yeah . sonny : that man would have killed you both if -- if michael did n't take that gun . rosalie : is that what you want me to tell the police ? 'cause i will . that 's exactly what happened . it was self - defense . sonny : the police are n't coming , okay ? there 's nothing to investigate . there 's no body . there 's no gun . the important thing is ... michael did n't kill anyone . are we clear ? rosalie : yeah . perfectly clear . sonny : all right , i 'm gon na have , uh , shawn take you home . if you have any questions -- if you need to , uh -- anything , uh , my office is on the third floor of the metro court hotel . rosalie : i do n't -- [ clears throat ] i do n't think i 'm gon na have any concerns . sonny : well , if you need anything -- you just -- you know where to find me . michael : okay , well , uh , i 'll walk you to the door . it 's three feet , but still . hey , um , look , everything 's gon na be okay . nothing 's gon na happen to you . i promise . rosalie : i believe you . [ inhales deeply ] michael : well ... rosalie : nothing happened , right ? michael : nothing happened . shawn : let 's go . michael : thanks again , shawn . shawn : just happy to help , man . [ door closes ] carly : this should n't have happened . this was not supposed to happen ... michael : everything is -- carly : ... to you . it 's not okay . this was n't supposed to happen to michael or to morgan , sonny . to neither of our boys . you swore to me . you promised me that it was n't gon na happen . sonny : i 'm gon na do everything i can , carly . carly : you are . you are gon na protect our sons , okay ? because this is not going to be their life . it 's not . michael : mom . mom , it 's over . it 's done . the guy is dead , and dad 's gon na handle the rest , okay ? you do n't have to worry about anything . carly : i love you so much , and i do n't know what i would do if something happened to you . michael : i love you , too . sonny : hey , michael . neither of you need to worry . come here . i would never let anything happen to my son . [ scene_break ] nina : i know this is n't the person you want to be . you asked carly to marry you . you 're starting a life with her . you do n't want to start that life built on lies and subterfuge . do n't you want to trust her ? franco : i do . but would n't it be better to just know for sure ? nina : ow . ow . [ scene_break ] dante : look , the only person who can give us any answers is luke . lulu : yeah , but , apparently , he 's having trouble with his passport , and he ca n't get back into the states . dante : but tracy 's gon na tell us as soon as she hears from him , right , tracy ? [ cell phone beeps ] lulu : is it my dad ? tracy : he 's in amsterdam . he wants to meet . patrick : well , it looks like we 're going to amsterdam . maybe finally we 'll get some answers . [ scene_break ] julian : as much as i want you -- and i do -- i 'm not gon na sleep with you only to have you walk out the door like you did the last time . [ sighs ] look , alexis , i want to be with you more than i 've wanted any other woman . but if you 're just gon na leave , that 's not gon na happen . alexis : i wo n't . i wo n't leave . i wo n't . [ next_on ] nathan : ( to anna ) tell me why my mother 's still in custody . carly : ( to morgan ) do you have company ? silas : ( to sam ) can i ask you something ? you two a couple now ? elizabeth : ( to patrick ) i have a job for you . michael : ( to kiki ) why do you have a problem with my father all of a sudden ? sonny : ( to julian , with alexis ) i have reason to believe you 're lying .

sam tells lulu that she and patrick think luke may have caused patrick 's accident . she tells her that spencer heard luke plotting with someone , possibly julian , against sonny and then threatened to hurt emma when spencer confronted him . they reveal that rafe ran patrick off the road the same night as the threat . lulu reveals that they know it was julian that luke was talking to that night . dante reveals that anna is investigating luke on a different matter . he tells them that an undercover cop said julian 's boss ' voice sounded like luke on the phone . luke texts tracy that he wants to meet her in amsterdam . alexis asks julian if he is working for luke spencer . julian swears on sam 's life that he is n't working for luke . alexis is n't sure she believes him . he asks her if she can deny that she wants to be with him . she kisses him . they begin to tear each other 's clothes off , but he stops and says he is n't going to sleep with her and have her walk out the door the way she did the last time . she says she wo n't leave . they pick up where they left off .

maxie : [ sighs ] nathan : morning , sunshine . maxie : hi . nathan : [ groans ] you wake me up , so we could scramble some eggs ? maxie : [ laughs ] no ... nathan ... nathan : what ? maxie : nathan , stop . i ca nt do this . nathan : are you okay ? maxie : i 'm fine . nathan : okay . so why ca n't we ? maxie : because ... i 'm having sex with dillon today . [ scene_break ] lulu : are you ready for your close - up , mr. demille ? dillon : [ laughs ] hey , lulu . if you 're here instead of the hospital , i 'm guessing your father - in - law 's on the mend ? lulu : unfortunately , no . sonny took a turn for the worse -- much worse . [ scene_break ] dante , i heard your father had a setback . dante : yeah . he 's been in surgery since last night . nurse said , uh , it was gon na be a while longer . i do n't know if that 's a good thing or a bad thing . i 'm so sorry . dante : i ca n't wait till i get my hands on the bastard who did this . [ scene_break ] paul : thank you , mr. sloane . you have been extremely helpful . [ knock on door ] paul : yes ? mrs. shipley : anna devane is here to see you , da hornsby . paul : send her in . anna : [ sighs ] da hornsby . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'm just about to pick up my daughter at sonny 's . i 'm sure carly is setting up a cannon to stop me . i hope you arranged for a marshal or maybe artillery to accompany me . [ knock on door ] ava : you know what ? there 's somebody here . if it 's carly , i might want you to call 911 . [ scene_break ] carly : i have n't been here since your father and i were supposed to get married . [ sighs ] and i was standing right there when jake came in and told me your father had been shot . michael : and you have n't left the hospital since . it 's -- it 's about time you had a break . carly : it does n't feel right , being away from your father . michael : yeah , well , they said it could take more than three hours . we have our cell phones , so why do n't you just lay down and try to rest ? carly : no , ca n't rest . [ laughs ] i 'm too keyed up . i ... i know sonny 's gon na be okay . i do . i mean , patrick is the best there is , and your dad is way too stubborn and arrogant to quit . but it would help his recovery to know that avery was safe from that woman . and why has n't ric called yet ? he 's had to have blocked ava 's court order by now . michael : i do n't have much faith in ric . carly : i do n't either , but he is your dad 's attorney of record in the family court . if he screws this up , we could lose avery to ava . [ scene_break ] nathan : you 're having sex with dillon ? maxie : yeah . nathan : the director ? maxie : yeah . nathan : after you got the part ? maxie : yep . wait -- what ? nathan : is n't that usually the other way around ? maxie : is n't what usually the other way around ? nathan : the casting - couch thing . you know , this depraved director 's gon na take advantage of a desperate actress -- maxie : i know what a casting couch is . nathan : okay , well , then , are n't you supposed to know how it works ? you already got the part , presumably without sleeping with dillon . maxie : hey , i did not sleep with dillon . i got offered the role because my audition was so kickass . surprised even me . ah . nathan : maybe you were surprised , but i would n't have been . maxie : that 's so sweet . nathan : so why are you sleeping with the director ? maxie : because he 's not just the director . he 's the auteur . nathan : oh , and , uh , that means you have to sleep with him ? maxie : it means not only did he write the movie , but he 's also my costar . [ scene_break ] lulu : i just dropped rocco off at daycare , and i wanted to swing by . dillon : because you missed me so much ? lulu : yeah . that and because it 's the first day of shooting . dillon : can you stick around ? lulu : i wish i could , but i just -- i ca n't leave dante at the hospital alone , blaming himself for what sonny 's going through . dillon : why would he blame himself ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i thought you might like some of my cold brew . a little change of pace . dante : [ laughs ] thank you . uh , did you want some ? valerie : no , thanks . i 'm good . i heard the search for carlos rivera 's back on . dante : [ sighs ] yeah . maybe now we can nail him for duke lavery 's murder , and we can question him about sonny 's shooting . valerie : question him ? i 'm getting the impression you do n't think he did it . dante : it 's too early to say . valerie : why so noncommittal ? you having doubts that he 's the shooter ? [ scene_break ] paul : good morning , anna . please , sit . anna : thank you . paul : no , thank you for coming in so early . anna : it 's no problem . so -- paul : i wanted to apologize for cutting our conversation short last night . anna : oh , do n't give it another thought . i know you 're busy . paul : well , i am pretty tied up with this new job , especially since we renewed the search for carlos rivera . i was thinking that he 'd be impossible to track . but i just received a tip regarding his whereabouts . anna : really ? is it viable ? paul : well , i was hoping you could tell me . uh , the tip came from an old colleague of yours -- mr. kyle sloane . [ scene_break ] michael : you 're gon na think this is crass , but it might help in the custody fight . carly : i 'm open to any and all suggestions . michael : the moment dad gets through this , the moment he regains consciousness , you two need to get married . carly : [ chuckles ] michael : what ? carly : great minds think alike . you know , i ... your father and i tried to get married last night . i said my vows , and when he was saying his , that 's when the seizure hit . michael : [ sighs ] geez . i 'm sorry you had to go through that . carly : no . i just thought getting married would be the quickest way to get leverage against ava , you know , but ... your daddy loves you so much . michael : dad ca n't fight for himself right now , so we need to take down ava for him . carly : yeah . if we only knew where to begin , michael . michael : together , we can think of something . i - i 'll do what i can to work from within the system , and -- and you -- carly : come up with a crazy scheme with disastrous consequences ? michael : i was gon na say circumvent the system , but you 're on the right track . carly : no . we need to prove that ava is unfit to parent avery . we need to show the judge that ava is as dangerous as we know her to be . michael : well , we could have ric inform the judge that ava is the new head of the jerome crime family . [ scene_break ] ava : what are you doing here ? morgan : i have to talk to you . ava : i already told michael everything i know about carlos . i know the police are redoubling their efforts . morgan : that 's not what i 'm here for . i know you want to believe that julian shot your father , but he did n't . it was carlos . so you can tell sonny 's thugs and his henchmen to leave my brother alone . morgan : they 've already heard , okay ? ava : okay . then , if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na go pick up my little girl and bring her home . morgan : that 's -- that 's why i 'm here . i came to ask you , please do n't take my little sister away . [ scene_break ] nathan : dillon must think very highly of himself . maxie : he 's pretty humble . nathan : right , and yet he is writing , directing , and starring in his own film . what ? he could n't find any actors as talented as he was ? maxie : actually , no . nathan : ah . and what exactly is it that dillon was looking for ? like his clone ? maxie : [ laughs ] he was open to a wide variety of types and ethnicities . unfortunately , none of those guys would have caught marjorie 's eye . and i would know , because i 'm playing her -- i mean , she is me . nathan : i remember . maxie : dillon thought it might be the writing because how is it possible that all those guys were so bad ? but , then , when we read the scene together , the movie sort of made sense . nathan : if you say so . maxie : so , principal photography starts today , and we are shooting marjorie and declan 's first love scene . nathan : the hell you are . [ scene_break ] lulu : dante has a lot of conflicted emotions around sonny , to put it mildly , and , uh , when they were trying to keep sonny stable right before they took him in for his first surgery , dante was sitting with him . i guess he unloaded on sonny for all of his bad choices , and that 's when sonny 's heart stopped . dillon : dante thought that he caused it ? lulu : he was so down on himself for judging his father , he -- he kept saying that he was in no position to criticize . dillon : um , well , the last time i checked , dante was n't a mob boss . lulu : true . i think it had to do with personal relationships . i think dante felt like he could n't judge his father because of what happened between dante and valerie . i just wish that he would stop beating himself up about that stupid kiss . i mean , yes , it happened , and i am obviously not happy about it , but we survived . thank god we did . i just do n't know what i would do without dante . he 's my whole world . dillon : dante 's lucky to have you . [ scene_break ] dante : ava says that rivera was acting alone , and by a very similar coincidence , julian said that rivera shot duke on his own . valerie : and you 're not buying it ? dante : rivera spent his whole career as an enforcer for the jeromes . he shoots sonny and duke and does n't take those orders from somebody ? valerie : yeah , what i do n't understand is why ava would give that information to michael . dante : well , she 's trying to get julian off the hook . if -- if he did it , she 's trying to save his ass . if she did it and she 's back in the game and called the hit , then she 's naming rivera to protect herself . it would n't be the first time . valerie : did michael tell you how he happened to have a conversation with ava in the first place ? dante : he was vague about that . when i tried to get any more information , our new da , paul hornsby , took over the discussion . [ scene_break ] paul : i received a rather disturbing call from ex - commissioner sloane . anna : disturbing in what way ? paul : well , first of all , he was frat - boy drunk , and then he slurred to me about some information that he had regarding rivera . anna : what kind of information ? paul : well , he said it was impossible for rivera to have shot corinthos because rivera was dead , and you 're the one who killed him . [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , i know you love avery , but i 'm her mother . i carried her inside me for months , knowing that as soon as i gave birth to her , your father was planning to kill me . morgan : um , you know what ? listen to me . i 'm sorry about that . but right now my father -- ava : your father has been parenting her for months . he 's been able to watch her grow . but me ? i have not been allowed to be a mother to her . i can count on one hand the number of minutes that i 've been able to hold her ! morgan : okay , if you agree to let my dad have avery , right , you will get access to her . i promise you that . ava : you are not in a position to make that promise . and ever since i fell from that bridge , your father has been working overtime to erase me from avery 's life ! morgan : yeah , because he did n't know you were alive , ava . he thought you were dead . ava : well , he was wrong , was n't he ? ! for months , all i 've been able to think about is being reunited with my daughter . i have dreamed such a beautiful life for her . morgan : and you know what ? i get how important that is to you . i get that . but -- but right now my dad had a huge setback . he 's been in surgery all night . ava : well , thank you for telling me . morgan : okay , okay . then you wo n't -- you wo n't take her , then ? ava : on the contrary , sonny 's condition makes it even more imperative that avery come here and live with me . [ scene_break ] carly : ava took over for julian ? michael : she 's back in the game . carly : how do you know this ? michael : uh ... okay . last night , there was a - a sit - down of the five families , and ava announced that she was going to be taking over for her brother and that she 's going to be the head of the jerome organization . carly : this is exactly the evidence we need to prove that she 's unfit ! michael : but , look , if -- if we allege that she is a mobster , she 'll say the same thing about dad . so we -- we ca n't -- we ca n't use the mob against her . carly : without her using it against us . damn it ! michael : yeah , there 's , uh -- there 's something else . [ sighs ] ava claims to know who shot dad . carly : who 's she trying to pin it on ? michael : carlos rivera . there was already an apb in connection to the murder of duke lavery . and , uh , yeah , the police have renewed their search . carly : if carlos rivera shot your father , it was on julian and ava 's orders . michael : i agree , but ava denies that . she claims that carlos acted alone . and right now , it seems that the da is inclined to believe her . carly : what does dante say ? michael : he does n't believe ava any more than i do . he thinks that ava gave up carlos to cover for herself or julian . carly : great . just one more thing -- how do you know what happened at a meeting of the five families ? michael : i was there . [ scene_break ] lulu : who gets to share this bed with maxie today ? dillon : i do . lulu : could n't find a declan from the local talent pool ? dillon : [ sighs ] you have no idea . lulu : so , let me get this straight -- you are the writer , the director , and the lead ? dillon : i know , i know how that makes me sound . lulu : how does it make you sound ? dillon : like a raging narcissist control freak . lulu : i see you as a triple threat . dillon : please . nobody would ever seriously characterize me as a threat . lulu : oh , would n't be so sure . dillon : why not ? lulu : you are shooting a sex scene with maxie today . i can think of one person who might be threatened . [ scene_break ] maxie : are you forbidding me from doing this sex scene ? nathan : no . maxie : because `` the hell you are `` sounds a lot like forbidding . nathan : i would never dream of forbidding you to do anything , as that is a surefire way to get you to do this . but yes , i have a problem with you , you know , kissing dillon . maxie : it 's acting , nathan . it 's gon na be choreographed so that it looks sexy on - screen . nathan : on - screen ? maxie : yeah . but it wo n't be sexy while we 're doing it . and -- and by `` doing it , `` i mean pretending . look , dillon and i can separate the script from reality . this is my job . nathan : yeah , but what kind of job is it where you simulate sex ? maxie : this is art . i 'm an artist . nathan : okay , well , maybe call me a little old - fashioned , but maybe hopping in bed and pretending to have sex is a little weird . maxie : there is nothing between me and dillon . i am with you , and he is with valerie . and something tells me she 's not giving him a hard time about doing this scene . nathan : yeah , well , there 's a reason for that . maxie : and what might that reason be ? [ scene_break ] dante : dillon 's dad seems like a real go - getter . he 's issued a new arrest warrant for rivera . he 's even offered a reward . he 's trying to light a fire . valerie : what do you think ? dante : i think i wish to hell i could do something , take some action , help find the son of a bitch who did this to my father , but i - i do n't want to leave sonny . valerie : dante , it 's okay . there are a lot of good cops working on this search . let them handle it . dante : i do n't know about that . i 'm not good at this sitting around , waiting stuff . valerie : lulu mentioned that you really gave yourself a hard time the other day . why ? dante : [ sighs ] because of us . [ scene_break ] anna : sloane told you i killed carlos rivera ? paul : quite a claim , is n't it ? anna : well , that 's one way of putting it . paul : well , he was clearly on a bender . i do n't even know the man , but i do know you . not well , but you and i go back farther than i care to admit . anna : i wo n't tell if you do n't . paul : [ laughs ] well , i 've been reading up on you . anna : yes , i see . did you find anything juicy ? paul : nothing that surprises me . overall , you have a sterling reputation . you 've been involved in law enforcement in one way or another for much of your life -- on an international level with the wsb and here in port charles , uh , as the police commissioner . obviously , you know , when someone makes such a significant allegation , even though they 're three sheets to the wind , i 'm obligated to follow up on them . anna : of course , yes . paul : well , thanks for understanding . so before i pursue sloane 's allegations , uh , i wanted to extend to you the courtesy of hearing what you have to say .

[ scene_break ] dante : i was in the hospital chapel , and i was praying for sonny . and , uh , i realized i had been criticizing him and judging him pretty harshly , and i have no right to do that after what i did to lulu with you . it 's been feeling really bad in my head , and i just wanted to tell her the truth . valerie : oh . dante : and when i was going to , my mother came and got me and brought me to the icu . valerie : have you thought any more about it ? no offense , but confessing could have some life - altering consequences for a lot of people , myself included . dante : you and lulu and rocco . i should have told her that it happened , and i did n't , and now that 's just something i got to carry alone . valerie : seems like it . dante : lulu and i are in a good place right now . i love her more than ever , and you and dillon , you moved on with him . so why destroy all that , right ? valerie : of course , you should n't . dante : exactly . valerie : but in the interest of full disclosure , i have n't really moved on with dillon . [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan , why would n't valerie have a problem with us doing this love scene ? i mean , not that she should , but she could at least be a little jealous , and i want to know why she 's not . valerie : i have feelings for dante . it 's been a while since i 've said that out loud .

[ scene_break ] carly : what did he think he was gon na do when he got there ? michael : oh , you know morgan . i doubt he thought that far ahead . but if he would have showed up to that meeting and started making threats , he could have started a war that dad 's people are in no position to fight or , worse , make himself a target . carly : how did you stop him ? michael : i told him that we could n't risk him losing his temper , and i insisted on going myself , and i told him he did n't have a choice . carly : and that worked ? michael : he listened to me , eventually . carly : thank you for protecting your brother . michael : i 'm glad you understand . carly : i need you to understand me . this can never happen again .

[ scene_break ] anna : you need to tell me everything you know . it 's crucial . dillon : okay , this is really getting weird . anna : d - dillon . please . dillon : my mom asked me to help her track down susan . she thought that it would cheer my dad up to spend some time with her . anna : did you find her ? where is she ? dillon : not exactly . she 's somewhere up in the finger lakes region . my mom went to find her . anna : and ? dillon : and that 's the last that we talked about it . i do n't know . maybe my mom has found her , and you can talk to her and get some information for your case . anna : maybe . is she still up there ? dillon : as far as i know , yeah . anna : well , there 's one way to find out . [ scene_break ] paul : how are you going to help me , tracy ? more importantly -- why would you ? tracy : oh , my god , paul ! you know why ! because of dillon ! our son , dillon ! dillon , dillon ! it 's one thing to be a little disillusioned with his father , but it 's another thing entirely to find out that he 's a serial killer ! paul : d - d - d - do n't call me that ! tracy : all right , i 'm sorry . you just , you killed a slew of people under the misguided belief that it would help your daughter heal , that -- that you could restore her sanity . paul : well , what choice did i have ? ! tracy : oh . paul : susan is a shell ! nothing the doctors have tried can reach her . b - b - but once she knows that she 's safe , that those that have hurt her are gone ... ... she can come back . tracy : yeah , i understand . i understand . and i -- and i do n't agree with your methods . i do n't agree with your methods . but i understand your motive . that 's why i 'm willing to cover it up . [ cell phone ringing ] paul : you want me to trust you ? then do n't answer that . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 've made my decision , jason . i have no choice . jason : okay . but will you at least hear me out on something ? sam hates julian . but he 's still her father . and he still saved danny with that bone marrow transplant . sonny : you feel like you owe him enough to interfere ? jason : no , i 'm not saying that . at all . i hope that sam can convince him to leave town . but if he does n't , hey . whatever happens to him , it 's on him . sonny : right . right . i 'm glad we understand each other . jason : we do . so , if this is gon na happen -- sonny : oh , it 's gon na happen . jason : okay , if this is gon na happen , it ca n't be traced back to you . sonny : already taken care of . jason : why do n't you let me make sure ? give me the name of this broker . i 'll check him out . make sure he 's reliable . make sure your hands stay clean . [ scene_break ] julian : so , what am i gon na do , sam ? you think i 'm just gon na pack my bag and leave town ? sam : yeah . go into hiding and make sure you do not contact any of us ever again . julian : that 's not gon na happen . sam : [ sighs ] you do n't get it , do you ? julian : no , i get it . i get how much you ca n't stand me . sam : no you do n't ! julian : i understand it . sam : you being here , it is killing my mother . and in return , that is killing me . so , for once in your life , can you do the right thing ? for her . not for you . can you please just disappear for the sake of everybody that you claim to love ? julian : what about my business ? my livelihood ? what do you think , i 'm just gon na leave that behind ? sam : oh , my gosh . julian : you do n't get it ! you know i ca n't do that . sam : you do n't get it ! you ca n't go back to the life that you used to have after everything that you 've done ! if you stay in port charles , you 're gon na die ! [ scene_break ] carly : i never want to discuss anything about my son with you again . nothing about morgan is any of your business . ava : well , he 's dating one of my daughters . he 's sharing a roof with the other . i think that morgan 's mental health is definitely my business . carly : are you gon na stand there and criticize my son ? the boy you seduced away from his family ? the boy you cheated on your own daughter with twice ? i mean , you 're crazy ! you 're gon na blame the victim himself for your crimes ? ava : carly , i am simply trying to point out that morgan is a man with a mental illness , one that often manifests itself in behaviors that are dangerous and volatile . carly : morgan is medicated and stable . and do n't try and imply otherwise . ava : well , i 'm glad to hear that he is following doctor 's orders . but , carly , you have to understand where i 'm coming from . my -- my brother and i were at kelly 's completely minding our own business , and all of a sudden morgan lunged at him ! he completely lost his cool ... in a very dangerous wa -- in a very violent way . carly : and that does n't make morgan unstable . you know what ? it makes him human . because julian 's a murderer , and he 's walking around scot - free . do n't blame it on my kid ! ava : yeah , well , a lot of people have a problem with julian . but morgan is the only one who actually attacked him . i know this is a critical time in healing for morgan . i would just hate to see him backslide . carly : okay , you know , if you want to see avery , go ! go see avery , and then get the hell out of my house . ava : it 's all right . just stay the course . this will all work itself out soon enough . [ scene_break ] morgan : look , spinelli . yes , i know i should n't have bought the paper on- online . but that does me no good realizing that now . okay , look . will you just listen to me for a second ? okay . so the website that i turned the paper on has this scanning software that , like ... yes , exactly . it flags the plagiarized sentences . so , what i need you to do is just go on the site and just take the paper off . like it never happened , okay ? i 'll just take the zero . i will take the hit on my gpa . but if they find out that i was cheating , my -- my academic career is over , man . they will expel me . there 's a no -- no tolerance policy for cheating . okay ? so , please , i 'm begging you . thank you . thank you , spinelli . i owe you . i owe you my life . kiki : was that spinelli ? what were you guys talking about ? [ scene_break ] paul : you say you 're willing to cover for me ? you can start now . now , hit `` ignore `` and hand me the phone . tracy : help ! help ! anna : tracy ? ! paul : thank you ... for clearing up any doubts that i may have had . tracy : [ gasping ] [ thud ] [ crunch ] dillon : was that my mother ? is she okay ? [ scene_break ] sam : you ordered that hit on duke . you tried to kill my mother , who happens to be kristina 's mother . what do you think , sonny 's just gon na shrug it off and say , `` better luck next time `` ? julian : are you trying to protect me from sonny ? sam : no ! i 'm trying to avoid the mess that your death would cause ! julian : no , no , no . i think this is just a whole smokescreen to make a larger point . you want me to leave town to save my life . so , what 's the deal ? you still care about your old man ? sam : no ! you are delusional ! julian : i do n't think so . sam : i despise you ! i wish that we were n't connected by blood . i wish that you never came into my life . i feel nothing but -- but contempt for you and what you did to my mother . but i have seen enough bloodshed in port charles . and it will give me no satisfaction to see yours added to it . julian : okay , fine , sam . sonny wants me dead . that 's not exactly shocking news . but i do have another question for you -- how much do you know , and how do i protect myself from him ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i said you do n't have to worry about it . the money goes off - shore ... and it never gets traced from the contractor to me . jason : yeah , well , i do n't like it because there are too many variables . sonny : well , you know what ? i do n't like it either , but i - i do n't have a choice . i got -- i got nobody like you on my payroll who i can trust , so i got to do -- do things differently . jason : i 'm sorry i ca n't handle it for you . sonny : listen , you do n't have to be sorry . i heard when you and sam said your vows . and you promised never to risk yourself without thinking of your wife and kids . you should keep that promise . i ca n't do that . i ca n't just start over . i ca n't just walk away . guys like me ca n't do that . it 's all yours . listen ... however peaceful your life is ... it never hurts to keep practicing . [ scene_break ] carly : morgan , it 's mom . can you just call me ? i 'm just checking in . okay . ava : my daughter is an absolute angel . carly : yes , she is . ava : regardless of how you feel about me , i know that you care about avery . and here she 's caught between two powerful , potentially dangerous men -- julian and sonny . it 's in her best interests that things do n't escalate again between our families . do n't you agree ? carly : julian was the one who provoked sonny . julian was the one making threats ... saying sonny was gon na be `` cold in the ground . `` ava : well , julian says a lot of things he does n't mean . i 'd hate to see sonny act on them . there 's a big difference between hot air and bullets . i just do n't want avery to be caught in any crossfire . i 'm sure you do n't either . [ scene_break ] paul : the only move i have left now is to shut you up permanently . tracy : no , listen , listen , listen . that was anna calling ! she heard my voice . she 's gon na put it together . she 's gon na trace the call ! paul : as someone who is familiar with police investigations , let me tell you -- that 's not the way it works . after i 'm finished , there will be no trace of you . tracy : no ! no ! paul : shh . tracy : [ shrieking ] somebody help me ! [ knock on door ] kirk : hello ? is everything all right in there ? everything okay in there ? paul : can i help you ? kirk : yeah , my wife and i were walking back from the lodge , and we heard ... we , uh , were wondering if everything in here was okay ? paul : oh , so sorry for the commotion . i apologize . kirk : we heard a woman screaming . paul : i -- [ scoffs ] y - you 're mistaken . yeah . oh , i know what it was -- i had the tv on loud . [ chuckles nervously ] the batteries in the remote had died , and i was searching all up and down the damn tv to try and find the button to turn down the volume . i was watching this horror movie . [ chuckles ] good thing i was n't watching something x - rated , huh ? that would be really embarrassing . kirk : my wife almost called the front desk . paul : that would have been even worse ! [ chuckling ] yeah . hey , i appreciate the concern . and i - i 'm turning in now , so the tv will not be an issue for the rest of the night , okay ? kirk : you could call and get new batteries , you know . paul : yeah , well , that 's great idea . i 'll do that , yeah . thank you . good night . appreciate it .

[ chair squeaks ] tracy : [ squeals ] [ scene_break ] morgan : i was just asking spinelli how to jailbreak this thing i have on my phone . kiki : why ? morgan : it 's just this -- this game . you know , it helps scoring higher , makes it a little easier . you know the guy -- he can do anything . kiki : [ scoffs ] okay . i just do n't really get the point of playing a game if you 're just gon na cheat . but whatever . it 's your life . i 'll be back . mom . what are you doing here ? ava : hi . well , i thought we could use a movie night . and i knew your shift was just about to end , so i thought i 'd come and ask you in person . kiki : a movie ? us ? ava : yeah , us . kiki , i know that we have a lot of work to do . but we have to start somewhere . i thought a movie would be a relatively benign first step . kiki : well , even if i was ready -- and i 'm not saying that i am -- morgan and i have plans . ava : oh . wow , okay . i have to tell you that i 'm surprised . kiki : you 're surprised that i have plans with my boyfriend ? ava : after the way that he attacked julian ? kiki , when are you going to admit that morgan is out of control ? [ keys clatter ] [ scene_break ] carly : how was the gym ? sonny : uh , had a good workout . you buy yourself something ? carly : no . ava got something for avery . sonny : ava -- she was here ? carly : yep . sonny : she 's was supposed to pick up , uh , avery tomorrow . carly : uh , yeah , avery was just an excuse . ava came with an agenda . sonny : what a surprise . what is it ? carly : she expressed her concerns about morgan , saying that he was dangerously volatile , and he does n't have his bipolar under control . sonny : well , ava does n't know what she 's talking about . carly : yeah , that 's , um , what i told her . but despite how much i hate that woman , sonny , um ... sonny : [ sighs ] carly : ... maybe she has a point . sonny : you know what ? just because you stay on your medication does n't mean that your -- your anger evaporates . you should know . i mean , you live it with me every day of your life . carly : i know , but just because something works for you does n't mean that it 's gon na work for morgan . sonny : do n't let her do that to you . do n't let her get in your head . 'cause here 's what 's going on ... morgan 's a little on edge , which is normal for anybody . and the fact that julian got in his face , julian deserves what he gets . carly : that 's the other reason ava was here . she 's concerned that you 're gon na make a move against julian and that avery 's gon na get caught in the crossfire . sonny : one thing i can guarantee you -- nothing 's going to happen to you or avery or anybody else . carly : i know you . i know what you 're not saying . julian threw down with you the other night , and you 're gon na answer . i 'm asking you not to . i 'm asking you not to make a move against julian . [ scene_break ] sam : what are you asking me ? julian : look , you 're the one who came here to warn me that sonny wants me dead . you must have overheard something being planned or talked about . so who 's sonny recruiting ? is it your husband ? sam : i do n't -- i do n't know about any plan to kill you , julian . i just know how the business works . the business that you chose . you went back to the business that you chose over my mother . there are two simple rules to this -- you either win or you die . and you 're not gon na beat sonny , so that means death for you . julian : mm . you really think sonny will be the winner in all this ? you think he 'll be able to kill me ? sam : [ scoffs ] i - i - i think that you should probably disappear . now . i - i would say tonight . i 'm sure you have a lot of money in an offshore account . why do n't you take it and get yourself a place in buenos aires or singapore ? trust me -- no one will ever come looking for you . we all just want to forget you ever existed .

[ scene_break ] carly : you know how i feel about this . the violence stops when someone stops the violence . sonny : you have to trust me on this . carly : i do trust you . i do n't trust this situation ... and how it puts you and our family at risk . and i know there are other options . you can block julian 's shipments . you -- you can take out his credibility . but to take him out ? that 's only gon na cause pain , sonny . and do we want that for our family ? for that beautiful little girl up there ? sonny : i gave you my word that if anything happens to julian jerome , if he comes to some unfortunate end ... ... it wo n't be by my hands .

anna knows she needs to find out the whereabouts of paul so she goes to meet with dillon who admits although he does not have much to do with his father , he 's pretty certain that his mom went to find his dad somewhere near the institution where paul 's daughter , susan stays . meanwhile , paul knows he has to prevent tracy from turning him in for murdering sabrina and all the others at the hospital and the only way to do that is to kill her . he first ties her up after anna calls her , hears tracy scream and then hears the line going dead after paul destroys tracy 's phone . he gets ready to inject tracy with the needle with the lethal poison right when anna and dillon find him before he has a chance to do it . ava knows that sooner or later , morgan will lose it and crumble and goes to smugly `` warn `` carly of that , reminding her that her son almost killed julian in a public place . carly argues and protests that her son is doing well , ava has no business judging him and wanting to kill julian is a normal response for anyone , given what he 's done and gotten away with . ava manages to go upstairs unseen and continue to mess with morgan 's meds . later , carly admits to sonny she is concerned about their son and about him as well , knowing what they are both very capable of doing when and if they run into julian again . while jason goes to talk to sonny , knowing he 's taking action against julian right now as they speak , sam goes to see julian , urging him to know he has to leave town since there 's nothing for him in port charles and because he wo n't live much longer if he stays around . yet both men are adamant about doing what they intend to do . meanwhile , morgan has secretly illegally purchased a paper to submit in order to pass his school courses , now realizing he can be found out and afraid of the consequences . he secretly calls spinelli attempting to get him to help him undo that yet keeps that a secret . ava goes to urge kiki to know how `` unstable and dangerous `` morgan is although kiki argues and wonders how or why her mom would know . julian knows that sonny is more than likely plotting to have him killed , and sonny makes it clear to everyone that he 's got ta do what he 's got ta do .

[ scene_break ] lulu : do n't look at me like that . a lot of people screw up and -- big , and they get forgiven -- think of all the things that you have done . carly : okay , i get that . let 's talk about what 's important -- trust . do you trust logan ? [ lulu sighs ] lulu : honestly , no . carly : there 's your answer . there you go , lulu . lulu : i know . carly : i get the urge to want to save the bad guy , okay ? i get the urge to want to pull him back from the brink of self - destruction . i know what it 's like to want to be the one thing his life revolves around . but it 's not a one- time - only thing , lulu . it 's a way of life . he will smash your heart , wallow in guilt , and beg for your forgiveness , and you know what ? you 'll forgive him . you will . and you 're riding the wave -- you 're up , you 're down , you 're all around -- and life will be great for a while . but before you know it , the cycle will start again . it 's going to happen . when you finally meet a man -- he is who he is , and you need to see him for who he is , and i do n't want to see logan taking you on an emotionally abusive trip . you do n't deserve it . nobody does . [ scene_break ] diane : sorry to interrupt . kate : well , it 's not as if i 'm busy . diane : ah . i heard that malevolent worm , trevor lansing , got you fired . so i 've been thinking . you definitely have grounds for a lawsuit , and with your permission , i would like to draft the papers immediately . a long , `` ugly as we can make it `` public scandal will force warren james to reconsider his erroneous decision , put you back in charge of `` couture , `` just in time to supervise your annual paris -- kate : diane -- diane , you are kind . but i 've decided to handle this in a different way . [ scene_break ] sonny : thanks for coming . jax : if this is about anthony zacchara and any threat to carly and the boys -- sonny : no , this is about kate howard . she lost her job at `` couture . `` jax : what happened ? sonny : well , as you know , she was drugged before her last accident . unfortunately , we could n't prove it . so they found her guilty of d.u.i . , reckless driving , she has to do six months community service . she was about to take a leave of absence , and trevor lansing put the squeeze on warren james , got her fired . jax : all because trevor lansing has it in for you ? sonny : i do n't like the fact that i ca n't do anything for kate , and i hate it even more -- jax : that you have to ask me for help ? is that what you 're doing ? sonny : is there anything that you can do to help kate , jax ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal has been diligent in his assignment to monitor the also unhinged one 's phone communications , but he 's -- he 's experiencing interference . either johnny zacchara is using his phone on an elevated , wind- battered location , or -- [ keys jingle ] spinelli : uh -- look , fair lulu 's home , i 'll call you back . lulu : okay , let me guess -- more stuff i should n't know about ? spinelli : uh , just another project for stone cold , nothing to worry your beautiful , blond mind about . look , can -- can the jackal get you a cool , tasty beverage ? lulu : huh . i have to change for work and figure out how to be all perky for people who want pie a la mode and act as if nothing is wrong in my world . spinelli : you 're still feeling residual pain ? lulu : and i hate it , because i was finally on solid ground . spinelli : and the simian one unbalanced it . look , this , too , shall pass . lulu : huh . spinelli : no , i just hope that the next time you open your sensitive heart , it 'll be with someone who would never , ever treat it in such a careless manner . lulu : well , if there 's one thing i 've learned from this entire logan disaster , it 's something i knew before he came along -- protect the sensitive heart at all costs and never fall in love , because it just opens the door to heartache . this time i wo n't forget it . [ scene_break ] jax : well , you heard the man , i tried my best . sonny : trevor has kate 's boss painted into a corner . jax : warren was very careful about what he said . from what i could gather , trevor has something on warren , and if he did n't fire kate , he would 've gone public with it . the morals clause was the only justifiable way . sonny : so this warren is just going to hang kate out to dry ? jax : yeah , pretty much sums it up . look , warren likes kate . he went to great pains to point out that she was convicted for drunk driving and two prior accounts of reckless endangerment , making it virtually impossible for him to come to her defense . jax : the reckless endangerment charges were one thing , but she -- she was not driving drunk , she was set up . jax : well , as you pointed out , there 's no way to prove that . sonny : thanks for at least trying , jax . jax : i 'm sorry i could n't be of more help . [ scene_break ] diane : well , i think you 're more distracted than i thought , because you 've already paid me . kate : it 's not a check . just open it . [ diane sighs ] kate : granted , it 's just a sketch , but it 's a start -- one designer original . now i just have to get the designer to return my calls . diane : it 's stunning . oh , my god . neela llorente ? kate : it 's actually an idea of mine that neela toyed with . diane : ah ! the best of both worlds ! kate , do you see now why your voice in fashion can not be stilled ? please , i am begging you ; do not roll over for trevor lansing . let me take this to court . kate : diane , if i sue `` couture , `` i will be forever unemployable . no , it is best for me to just step aside graciously and let the magazine decline without me . diane : which it most certainly will . [ phone rings ] diane : excuse me . i have to go . your courage and your confidence are inspiring . thank you . and thank you for this .

[ alexis sighs ] alexis : oh , boy . no , i did n't know that . that must be very hurtful for you . elizabeth : well , my point is , is that your sam 's mother . alexis : i 'm also an attorney , so i 'm trained to be fair and unbiased . elizabeth : i would rather just use diane . alexis : diane certainly poses a conflict -- she represents jason and sonny . elizabeth : i do n't see what that has to do with anything . alexis : well , elizabeth , it 's not a stretch of the imagination to know that jason would influence diane to act solely in your best interests . besides , i do n't think a corinthos attorney is a very healthy choice for you . elizabeth : well , thank you for your concern , but i do n't need your advice right now . lucky : good -- you two are talking . do you see now why it 's good for alexis to handle our divorce ? elizabeth : no , i do n't . lucky : why are you being so stubborn ? alexis : it has something to do with the fact that you 're sleeping with my daughter -- and i understand your reaction to this . however , i just want you both to know that i would be fair and impartial -- lucky : you have no right to bring that up after you slept with jason . elizabeth : oh , you need to get your chronology straight -- i slept with jason after i found you in bed with maxie . lucky : and i 'm not carrying a torch for maxie . elizabeth : oh , i see . so the fact that you and maxie had a casual exchange of sex for drugs makes you in the right ? lucky : listen , i did n't say that -- besides , that 's not the point . i trust alexis . diane : well , then by all means , you should choose alexis for your representation . and i will handle elizabeth 's end of things . but be forewarned , no one 's going to run roughshod over my client . i will protect elizabeth 's interests vigorously and relentlessly . alexis : i thought this was supposed to be an uncontested divorce . diane : you thought wrong . mr. spencer 's behavior has been cruel and punishing , and i 'm certain a judge will find it subject to recompense .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : i , the jackal , have decided to record this oral history of sorts for stone cold so as to not paraphrase or miss any nuances that johnny zacchara might be sending in his texts to fair lulu . okay -- um -- activity from the warped one 's phone , a number -- not fair lulu 's . um -- oh , no . no . um -- please say that the jackal is mistaken for once . please . but he is not , and the mystery receiver is texting back , and it is the valkyrie .

[ scene_break ] emily : hey . thanks for meeting me . jax : yeah , no problem . it sounded like it was important . emily : yeah , it is . uh -- it 's about nikolas . he 's been having these episodes of anger that are completely out of proportion with whatever set him off . i just found out that he attacked logan hayes for no apparent reason twice , the first by choking him and the second by beating him right here in the lobby . jax : i can see why you 're worried . emily : you obviously know that jerry injected nikolas with some mystery drug every day for a matter of weeks . jax : yeah . emily : if there 's one person that he might be honest with , it 's you . so i was hoping that you could ask him if there 's some weird side effect that could be the reason for nikolas ' behavior . because it 's getting worse , jax , and i 'm afraid of what could happen next .

jax : carly , carly -- it would be so easy . carly : it would be so right . jax : look , we 're both vulnerable . we want to celebrate the fact that we 're still alive . but this -- this would n't be fair to you or me because our marriage is still over . [ scene_break ] spinelli : most tragic circumstance has thrown a wrench into the romantic idyll that stone cold had planned with the maternal one . yes , it forces a delay , but the -- the interlude of love might easily be rescheduled . jason : forget it . elizabeth : kate getting shot does n't change anything for me . [ scene_break ] claudia : you want me to go to sonny and offer him our condolences ? anthony : yeah , you 've got lots of experience in making men feel better . claudia : daddy , sonny 's bride was just shot . so why in the hell would he want to see me ? anthony : sonny pulled you out of a burning car wreck and saved your life . the two of you have a connection . use it . reassure him that the zacchara family was not involved in this senseless tragedy . claudia : and he 's just supposed to take my word for it ? anthony : claudia , you can be very convincing . and this time , honey , you 're working with the truth . [ claudia chuckles ] anthony : tell my daughter she should do this . ric : throwing claudia at sonny is the worst idea you can come up with . [ scene_break ] sonny : you do n't need to tell me what i 've done . olivia : then why did you do it ? why did you put connie in the line of fire ? sonny : you want to say it ? i 'll say it . if kate dies , her blood is on my hands . [ scene_break ] nikolas : try this . nadine : mm . what is it ? nikolas : cornish hen with fig stuffing . nadine : figs ? nikolas : you 're not allergic , are you ? nadine : mm -- no . it 's just that , when i was a kid , my aunt rayleen used to say that figs were an aphrodisiac . you know , they make you -- nikolas : make you what ? what ? [ nadine chuckles ] nikolas : yeah , i know what an aphrodisiac is . nadine : she called it temptation food because , when adam and eve were in the garden of eden , adam wore a fig leaf . nikolas : did anyone in your family ever question aunt rayleen 's words of dubious wisdom ? nadine : well , there was always some truth to what she said . so do n't get all condescending . nikolas : no , no , listen . i have a lot of respect for aunt rayleen . she 's a creative thinker , much like yourself . nadine : what 's that supposed to mean ? nikolas : well , you did jump overboard without knowing how to swim . nadine : well , if i had refused , that would have completely ruined your plan . nikolas : plan ? what plan ? do i look like a man with a plan ? i found out where you were , got on a boat , and improvised . nadine : you were wonderful . and i really appreciated it , but i could 've handled it myself . nikolas : nadine , you were stowed away on a russian gangster 's boat without a gun . they were going to kill you . nadine : you were worried about me , were n't you ? nikolas : maybe . nadine : well -- nikolas : i did n't want anything to happen to you . nadine : nothing did . and now we 're beside a fire with brandy and figgy stuffing , all because of you . nikolas : you should , uh , finish your food so you can get to bed . nadine : where are you -- you going ? nikolas : for a ride . nadine : for a -- for a ride ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what happened to kate was a tragedy . and i understand that you had to stay with sonny to help him through it . we can just reschedule our trip for whenever . we have all the time in the world . jason : all the time in the world , that 's exactly what sonny said to kate . let 's go . spinelli : the jackal shall most reluctantly comply . elizabeth : spinelli , can you wait in the lounge . jason and i need to talk . spinelli : the grasshopper of love is much more amenable to that plan . jason : this -- this is not a time you should be seen talking to me . elizabeth : i do n't want you using what happened to kate as an excuse to pull away from me . jason : then there 's something you need to see . [ scene_break ] sonny : my oldest son was shot because of me , olivia . i had to make sense of that . something in my life had to change . so i wanted to start a new life with the woman that i loved , and i convinced myself and her that i could make that happen . olivia : connie believed you . sonny : i told her that -- that there was no danger . she believed me . so this is on me . i led kate into this . but i tell you one thing right now . i swear to you -- [ grunts loudly ] sonny : whoever 's responsible for this , they 're going to pay with their lives . olivia : yeah , i 'm sure if kate was awake right now , she 'd be just thrilled to know that some mobster was going to wind up with a bullet in his head . sonny : i want justice . olivia : oh , sonny , have you not learned anything in all this time ? sonny : well , what ? olivia : violence leads to more violence . that 's it . people who live in your world need to stay the hell away from people who do n't . [ scene_break ] jason : this could be your future if you stay with me . [ scene_break ] anthony : i thought we were on the same page with recent events , ric . ric : you were n't at the church when kate got shot , anthony , all right ? sonny 's consumed with anger and grief . he 's likely to lash out at the first person who approaches him , especially claudia . anthony : you 're selling claudia short . sonny defended claudia one night in a hotel restaurant when i lost my temper . ric : when sonny is under attack , he divides his life into two factions , allies and enemies . right now , the zaccharas are enemies . anthony : exactly why claudia needs to calm the waters . ric : sonny and claudia had a one - night stand when he and kate had a falling out and -- claudia : thank you for reminding me . ric : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but my point is -- my point is that kate and claudia do n't like each other . sonny knows that . he 's not going to be receptive . anthony : you really got your hackle up about this , do n't you , ric ? ric : no , your objective here is to make sure that sonny knows that the zaccharas had nothing to do with the shooting . i think that plan will blow up in your face if you do this . anthony : claudia lied to an entire jury . she convinced them that logan hayes tried to rape her and that her brother wound up killing the little monkey to protect her . all that and she was n't even there when it happened . think about the pathos she could bring to the scene of this crime , unless my confidence in you is misplaced . [ claudia clears throat ] claudia : ciao . ric : well , that was n't your smoothest move , anthony , considering the fact that the zaccharas , namely you , did shoot kate . anthony : claudia does n't know that . and there 's nothing more convincing than a liar who thinks she is telling the truth . [ scene_break ] jax : carly , a crisis has a way of making priorities clear . carly : yes , that 's what happened . i 'm clear . we belong together . jax : we acted in the moment . carly : i know . there was a shot and we instantly went to each other . you instinctively tried to protect me . jax : it was a reflex . that 's it . carly : which proves that we love each other . jax : i never questioned that . carly : then what else matters ? jax , there are no guarantees , okay ? we could live a long uneventful life or we could die tomorrow . why waste what precious time we have ? what 's more important than love ? jax : we also have to have happiness . carly : we have been happy . jax : yes , but not always . look , in the day - to - day life of married people , you and i just do n't work . carly : no , that 's not true . i did n't work . i let myself get pulled into sonny and jason 's world . and it 's never going to happen again . jax : you 've said that too many times . carly : that 's before i was scared straight at the thought of losing you forever . look what happened tonight . i did n't try and stop the wedding . i do n't care if sonny is completely devoted to kate . i do n't care . you have my whole heart . all you have to do is take it . jax : carly , you 're saying all the things that i 've ever wanted to hear . it 's just too late . carly : no , it does n't have to be . there 's no divine referee out there that says that we ca n't be back together . we can try again if we want to . jax : i -- i do n't want to , carly . carly : you 're going to regret it . if we give up now , you 're going to regret it . and maybe in a year or five years from now , but you 're going to look back and realize that the best time of your life was spent with me . jax : yeah , probably . carly : then why risk it ? we can pick up the pieces and we can be happy for the rest of our lives . jax : i know you , carly . you 're not -- you 're not content with happiness . there 's always a part of you that has to test it . no matter who 's with you , they always have to prove their love over and over . carly : no , not you . that wo n't happen if you take me back . that 's all the proof i need . jax : no . i know that you believe that . but as soon as i give in , the clock starts ticking and -- and the time will come when you feel tempted to -- to lie or -- or be unfaithful again . then you 'll have a -- a good reason and you 'll probably talk me into forgiving you . i -- i just -- i ca n't go through that again . it hurts too much to be your husband . [ scene_break ] anthony : my grandfather always had a glass of port after a night like this . several glasses , actually . ric : bride hunting ? anthony : they 're a lot easier to hit than lawyers . counselor , i 'm sensing you 're not seeing the brilliance of my plan . ric : i just -- your -- your methods , anthony , are just a little extreme . anthony : no , extreme would 've been blowing up the church and everyone in it . ric : oh , well , then let me thank you on behalf of everybody for your restraint . anthony : besides , this is much more devious . i shoot kate with a russian rifle . sonny suspects karpov and wants jason to eliminate him . jason refuses . sonny allies himself with my family and we bump off karpov . then we turn sonny and he eliminates jason . the organization reverts back to sonny and , at our convenience , we bump him off , too . it 's beautiful . ric : [ chuckling ] yeah , that is assuming sonny does n't see the set - up and come after the zaccharas instead . anthony : no , claudia is the perfect person to build a bridge of trust with sonny . we have to make him feel safe with us , ric . it 's a lot easier to bump somebody off if they think they 're your friend . anthony : oh , you look like hell . johnny : yeah , you should see the bride . anthony : you went to that wedding ? johnny : yup . i thought it would cheer lulu up to go with me . genius , right ? anthony : the man kidnapped you , john . you should not have gone anywhere near corinthos , with or without your nut job girlfriend . johnny : relax . i came through without a scratch . but i may have driven lulu over the edge to compete insanity . [ scene_break ] jason : i just want you to take a look at kate . elizabeth : jason , it 's terrible that she got shot . but you ca n't live your life assuming -- jason : what if -- what if that was you , elizabeth ? and what if you were lying there about to leave your sons without a mother ? olivia : okay , so you and the nurse , you got a past . that 's your business , all right ? my business is you using my cousin as exhibit a on the dangers of mob life . jason : sorry -- sorry . i hope kate 's all right . sonny : before you go , jason , just want you to look at her and picture elizabeth lying there , fighting for her life , and you tell me that you would n't do anything you can to go after the people who did this ? [ scene_break ] jax : you know , i put you and morgan in the hotel here so nothing would happen to you . it was n't an invitation to get back together . i 'm sorry . carly : i love you . and i 've never felt this way about any man . i 'm determined to make this marriage work , and you know how i am when i set my heart to something . jax : yeah . yeah , you 're the strongest woman i know . carly : then give us one more try . jax : you know , i 'm making it sound like it 's all your fault when i know it 's my fault , too . carly : then let 's promise each other we can do better . jax : i blame you for sleeping with sonny . i blame myself for not being able to get past it . i know my limits and i ca n't do this . i still think you 're the most amazing woman i 've ever met , but i just ca n't be with you . [ scene_break ] jason : you know my reasons why i 'm not going to make a move . olivia : so , you want revenge and you think , somehow , this guy , jason , is going to get it for you . sonny : stay out of it , olivia . olivia : no . going after the person -- sonny : stay out of it , olivia . olivia : who shot connie is not the way to help her . sonny : kate 's in that bed because of me . somebody was trying to send me a message . and i 'll tell you right now , i am going to make sure that nobody moves against me or anybody i care about again . [ scene_break ] spinelli : matters with the maternal one deteriorated into a rancorous dispute ? jason : i took her to see kate to show her why she ca n't be with me . spinelli : yeah -- yes , the jackal concurs that it is far too dangerous for stone cold and the maternal one to rendezvous within the confines of port charles . but , fortunately , the grasshopper of love has rebooked their vacation -- jason : sonny wants a war , and i may not be able to stop him . spinelli : then perhaps it is wisest for stone cold to have some distance . jason : why ? i ca n't leave right now , spinelli . [ phone rings ] jason : yeah . carly : i need to see you . jason : you someplace safe ? carly : yeah , jax has us at the hotel . he has the whole security team on alert . jason : okay , just stay there . i 'm -- i 'm at the hospital doing damage control . carly : jason , what 's going on ? carly : who tried to kill sonny today ? and is his family in danger ? i mean , is morgan safe ? [ scene_break ] olivia : sonny , i know my cousin . she does not want the kind of protection that you 're offering . sonny : yeah , but if i do n't do anything , it 's going to just show a sign of weakness . that means everybody around me and you and her and everybody else is going to be in danger . is that what you want ? olivia : so let me get this straight . okay , you want to kill the person -- sonny : yeah . olivia : who shot connie . sonny : yes . olivia : but this has got nothing to do with anger or revenge . this is a perfectly reasonable way to protect yourself and your family , right ? by triggering a bloodbath . sonny , i know you . i know you . i know you got the devil 's own temper . i 've seen someone hit you . you go freaking berserk . you beat them until they got to beg for mercy or someone 's going to pull you off of them . so do n't kid yourself . this is exactly the same thing . this is n't about protecting you or kate or your family or anybody else . this is about payback . [ scene_break ] robin : sonny . honey , i am so sorry . i ca n't imagine how you feel . sonny : i 'm so glad you were n't there because it was -- well , i do n't want to talk about it . robin : yeah , it 's okay . well , i just want you to know , patrick and i will be on this case every step of the way . sonny : this is kate 's cousin . this is robin . and patrick 's the best neurosurgeon around . patrick : your cousin 's condition is extremely serious and she 's not stabilized right now -- sonny : how soon can you operate ? olivia : wait , wait , wait . once again -- sonny : wait for what ? olivia : you and connie did not actually get married , okay ? so that makes me family here . i 'm making the decisions . sonny : kate needs surgery . patrick is the best surgeon there is . olivia : and i 'm supposed to take your word for this ? we 're talking about my cousin 's life here . robin : okay , kate was about to marry sonny . i 'm sure that she would trust him to make this decision for her . olivia : who asked you ? you want to root for the happy couple ? you go right ahead . but sonny 's the one that put my cousin in this room . and i 'm making it my business to see that she walks out of there . robin : okay , with all due respect , though , you do n't live here . you do n't know the doctors . you do n't know their reputations . olivia : i 'm perfectly capable of doing research . patrick : well , do all the research you want . get on - line , do whatever you need to do . but do it fast . i need as much lead time as possible to assure a positive outcome on this surgery . olivia : so define positive for me . that means she lives , or she lives and she walks ? robin : you have every right to be upset . but taking it out on the surgeon is counterproductive . now , sonny already knows patrick , and he -- sonny : that 's okay , it 's okay . this is -- you know -- olivia is entitled to her feelings . consult with the doctor . just make sure that you make the right choice for kate . olivia : so let us just assume for the moment that you 're as good as you say you are . okay ? lay it out for me . patrick : the bullet is lodged a fraction of an inch from kate 's spine . the longer it stays in there , the greater the chance of her waking up paralyzed . olivia : so , take it out . robin : if we go in too soon , kate could die on the table . [ scene_break ] anthony : give me that . johnny : well , i 'm well past the drinking age , thank you . ric : why do n't you listen to your father ? he 's trying to help you . johnny : oh , look at what we 've got here . the next generation of yes - men . anthony : lulu is not good for you , john . johnny : she 's not good for me ? let me tell you what i 've done for her since i met her . after you tried to kill her , she has been kidnapped , shot at , attacked , and now lulu has completely lost her mind . she asked me for help , and i just stood there . anthony : it 's hard for you to understand , but you 're better off -- johnny : i 'm better off ? or you 're better off ? oh , yeah , ca n't have your son and heir tied up with an unstable girl because god only knows we zaccharas are a bedrock of sanity . trevor : andre karpov is using kate 's shooting as a distraction to land one of his shipments right under our noses . it 's time to teach him a lesson . no one , and i mean no one , uses our shipping lanes . anthony : what do you think ? ric : let the shipment go through . it 'll be another slap in the face for jason . he might actually take care of karpov for us . anthony : well , i 'm not sure we want a war between jason and karpov 's people yet . what about you ? you want to weigh in ? johnny : oh , no . sounds like you guys got it covered . anthony : where are you going ? johnny : i 'll know when i get there . [ scene_break ] jason : i had spinelli check out the security system that jax installed . it 's good . carly : do we need protection ? jason : i do n't think you do . but you know what ? it 's better to be safe . i do n't think you and morgan are in danger . carly : why ? do you know who tried to kill sonny ? jason : kate was the target . carly : kate ? why would anybody want to kill kate ? jason : to send a message to sonny . carly : he gave the whole business to you . nothing 's changed . everyone around him is still in danger . jason : they targeted kate while she was marrying sonny for a specific reason . carly : you have a lead ? jason : yeah . but it could be taking me and sonny in the wrong direction . [ scene_break ] claudia : you 're nurse johnson , are n't you ? epiphany : yeah , that 's what it says on my name tag . [ claudia chuckles ] claudia : i need to see kate howard . epiphany : i 'm sorry . visiting hours are over . claudia : um , you were actually on the jury that acquitted my brother . so i have a great deal of respect for you . but you ca n't stop me from seeing kate . epiphany : you 're not hearing me , ms. zacchara . ms. howard is in the icu , which means only family members are allowed in after hours . claudia : look , i 'm not here to hurt kate . i just want to see her . sonny : i do n't give a damn what your intentions are . you 're not going anywhere near kate . claudia : i 'm actually here to see you . you look like hell . sonny : get out . claudia : hey , i 'm sorry . empathy , it 's not my strong suit . but i 'm honestly so sorry for what happened to kate , and i just -- if there is anything that i can do , please let me know . [ scene_break ] olivia : i want every piece of information you 've got about my cousin 's condition , so that i can make an informed decision . robin : well , these latest test results are hopeful . she 's about to be ready to be taken off the ventilator . i have to check on her one more time before we do so . about sonny , he 's not the bad guy in all of this . olivia : what 's the deal with her ? is sonny the one who knocked her up or something ? patrick : actually that would be me . and the `` deal `` with dr. scorpio and sonny corinthos ? they 're great friends . olivia : i 'm sorry . i am sorry . i 'm just a little flipped out about this . patrick : well , you 're not a lot like your cousin , are you ? olivia : well , you might be surprised . we had n't spoken in almost twenty years . but i always knew that connie was okay . you know , the head of a big magazine , on top of the world . you do n't think you have to worry . what could happen to a person like that , right ? patrick : i put an o.r . on standby . but i 'd like to see her numbers go up before i put her through an invasive procedure . olivia : she 's got to walk , doc . you got to give her the best odds you can . patrick : sonny 's right . i 'm the best at what i do . and if it eases your mind , i beat worse odds like this on a regular basis . olivia : it 'll ease my mind if you operate half as good as you run your mouth . [ scene_break ] sonny : my bride is in icu with a bullet in her spine . claudia : i know how you feel . i can see it on your face . part of you is grieving , but one part of you is seething with rage . sonny : i do n't want your sympathy . claudia : you saved my life , sonny . i owe you for that . sonny : no , look , look , look , you do n't owe me anything . you need to leave , because kate would n't want me anywhere near you . claudia : i 'm not your enemy , sonny . that 's all i came here to tell you . my family , our organization , had nothing to do with the shooting . sonny : i know who did it . because if i did n't , i would be coming after all of you . claudia : some life we 're in , huh . this life leaves you dead or broken or crazy . everyone else , everyone you love -- sonny : i thought i could leave . claudia : well , you ca n't leave . people like us , we ca n't get out . and when you try , it 's the ones that you love that suffer . sonny : well , you have an excuse because you were born into this life . i chose it . now kate has to pay the consequences . [ scene_break ] jason : cody retrieved the shell casing . it was a russian bullet . carly : karpov shot kate ? jason : he denies it . carly : well , of course he denies it . you believe him ? jason : well , if he 's not going to admit it , why leave clues that point right to him ? carly : well , then , who do you suspect ? jason : carly , i do n't know . we do n't even have all the facts right now . all i know , kate was shot on purpose . the only reason it could be is to get at sonny . this -- this is personal . carly : it had to be karpov . he was mad at sonny for pulling out of their deal . jason : maybe . carly : now , i spent time with this man . sending sonny a message saying , `` do n't cross me `` , is exactly what this guy would do . jason : whoever was responsible made a move against sonny . not me . [ scene_break ] nikolas : hey , it 's pretty easy to get turned around in this house . and your -- your room is down the hall there . nadine : if i sleep down the hall , i 'll be alone . and i do n't want to be alone . nikolas : no , of course not . you 're emotional , you almost drowned . nadine : yeah , i did . and as i was sinking , i thought , `` i 'm going to die . `` and then i had another thought , which was , `` i never got to be with nikolas . `` and then i felt you pulling me to the surface and onto the boat , and i told myself that i was n't going to waste another chance with you . we 've danced around this for so long . nikolas : look , for good reason . i 'm a terrible risk . i do n't think i can give you what you need . nadine : just stop . stop talking and stop thinking and just go with it . [ scene_break ] vaughn : you are not going out on the water . johnny : i do not remember asking your permission . vaughn : johnny , you 're way too drunk to drive a boat . come on , let me take you home , sober you up , okay ? ah ! johnny : want to bet my own boat can run circles around that russian freighter , huh ? i ca n't hear you ! [ scene_break ] ric : well -- your father went to bed . claudia : uh - huh . ric : so how did it go with sonny ? claudia : uh , well , he does n't think we have anything to do with the shooting . but he was not in the mood to be consoled . at least not by me . ric : oh , was he too angry ? claudia : mostly at himself , for thinking he could leave the mob and join some white picket fence life . ric : he actually said that , huh ? claudia : sonny 's not difficult to read . unlike you . ric : i 've been very up - front about my interest in you . claudia : when i spoke to karpov , he was genuinely surprised that kate had been shot . he had no idea . ric : your father seems to think that karpov ordered the shooting . claudia : yeah , right . so i 'm wondering why you 're going along with that . ric : well , because it makes sense . come on , karpov was angry at sonny . he wanted payback , right ? claudia : it does not make sense , based on the conversation that i had with karpov . so what -- you do n't trust me ? ric : well , i would if you trusted me . claudia : that sounds like a challenge . ric : hey , listen , there 's enough chaos brewing right now . and i just want to see -- let it build and see how it plays out for me . and for you . oh . claudia : you 're playing with me , ric . claudia : i kind of like it . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , you and morgan are going to be safe here . i do n't think you have to worry about anything , but it 's better to be careful . carly : you do realize sonny is not going to rest until whoever shot kate is dead . you know that . jason : carly , that 's his choice . i ca n't make any moves . carly : because you think he 's wrong about karpov ? jason : it does n't matter either way . carly : he 's going to want your help . he 's probably going to ask you to take out karpov . jason : he already has . i told him no . carly : that could n't have been easy for you . jason : well , what am i supposed to do ? risk the lives of everybody in my organization -- the people who are close to me ? i 'm supposed to start a war because sonny is not thinking clearly ? look , i feel bad for him . what happened to kate is awful , but we do n't have the facts . if sonny wants revenge , he 's on his own . carly : for how long ? he 's going to play on your loyalty . he 's going to play on your loyalty , and he 's going to want you to go after kate 's shooter . jason : it does n't matter . my answer is still no . carly : come on , jason . when have you been able to refuse sonny of anything ? even when he 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] sonny : did dr. drake answer all your questions ? olivia : he has got an ego the size of long island . i just hope he 's got the goods to back it up . sonny : how soon before he operates ? olivia : if they operate now she could die on the table . if they wait , she 's got a better chance of survival -- bigger risk that she could be paralyzed . sonny : i love kate , no matter what . nothing could change how i feel about her . olivia : oh , that 's sweet , sonny , but this is not about you . this is about connie . she 's always been beautiful and stylish . and maybe people would say that she 's vain or shallow . and you know what ? maybe they 're right . but you know one thing , she is independent . she 's not going to be happy coming out of this thing stuck in some damn chair for the rest of her life . sonny : she knows how to adjust . do not take a chance on her life . olivia : like you did ? [ scene_break ] patrick : kate . hey , take it easy . you 're in the hospital . sonny 's right outside . kate : if i die , you have to tell sonny -- patrick : no , just rest . kate : i should 've told him , even if he hates me . sonny has -- patrick : kate ? sonny has what ? [ scene_break ] nadine : if you 're about to ask me if i 'm sure , the answer 's yes . nikolas : i was about to say i 've wanted this for a long time . singer : you tell me that you 're scared that all your life only you cared i 'm not about to fold no matter how you 're begging i 'm here for as long as you let me you 'll never be alone one step at a time and when you 're on your own just close your eyes just close your eyes and i 'll be by your side

sonny : thank you for reminding me that i have n't been the father i want to be for kristina and my boys . alexis : i know you genuinely want to give your kids the childhood that you did n't have . you are so generous . you 're committed , and i do n't doubt at all how much you love your children , but that does n't change the fact that your life is a danger to all of your kids . sonny : but ignoring kristina , letting you keep her away from me is dangerous , too . i thought we settled this before she got back from mexico . i 'm just trying to be a good father . i just hope i 'm not too late .

[ scene_break ] sonny : there 's a problem , you need to spill it out right now . alexis : well , technically there 's been a problem since the day i found out i was pregnant , which is why i did n't tell you until i had to , but it ... sonny : uh , kristina needs a father , and i 'm not gon na let her down . alexis : i grew up without a father . i know how she feels . sonny : right . you ended up pregnant in high school . alexis : well , let 's hope that does n't happen to kristina , right ? look , i know there 's probably an inherent risk with every kid who grows up without a parent -- mother or father . sonny : but kristina has a father . she thinks i 've been rejecting her for years , that i love my boys more than her . i love my daughter . i 'm gon na prove it to her . alexis : so what are you going to tell her about what you do for a living ? because she already knows . and she knows the difference between right and wrong , which really puts her in an untenable situation to get close to you , because it 's a question of ethics . sonny : well , you know , you 've had some questionable , you know , things in your life , right ? alexis : i do n't profit from them . sonny : yeah , but my kids and business are separate . alexis : they are not . sonny : what do you mean ? alexis : what happened at the country club when michael and keifer were fighting ? you did n't go in there like a reasonable father would and try to stop it . you sent max and milo , your thugs , in . you scared the hell out of the president of the club . sonny : i 'm not gon na let anybody bully my kids . alexis : i understand that you wanted to protect michael , but if you want to be a father , then you have to act like one , and you ca n't deal with things like a mobster . do you know how fast that went through kristina 's circle of friends ? sonny : are you saying she -- alexis : it 's not fair to ask her to deal with that sort of -- sonny : really ? so you 're saying she 's ashamed of me . is that what you 're saying ? all right . alexis : okay , when the two of you get close , what are you gon na teach her ? what 's she gon na learn from you ? sonny : that , uh -- she 's gon na learn that i loved her for all these years , that i 've missed being part of her life , and i 'm gon na try to make it right . alexis : and then what are you gon na tell her about loving someone who 's dangerous , who gets what they want by using violence ? sonny : i would never be violent with her . alexis : i know that . sonny : okay . alexis : what you 're asking her to do is a lot . i just want you to know that . you 're asking her to love you and look up to you knowing that you 're a criminal . sonny : you know what ? we both made mistakes with our children , but for me to pull away from kristina right now when she needs my attention -- especially now , because if she does n't get it from me , she 's gon na get it somewhere else .

'cause michael could n't get out of there fast enough , and you guys were hiding something from me . jason : just leave it alone . carly : no . it 's stressful for me to wonder . jason : then stop . stop thinking about it . will you -- will you just please focus on having a healthy baby girl and just let me take care of everything else ? carly : you 're really not gon na tell me ? you 're not gon na tell me ? jason : i 'm not gon na tell you , no . carly : when michael was little , you told me everything , and now you 're not gon na tell me ? jason : you trusted me to take care of him back then . you have to trust me to take care of him now . it 's all gon na work out . carly : ok .

[ scene_break ] kate : you have been carrying too many secrets for way too long . olivia : maybe you 're right . maybe i just should have told sonny the whole truth as soon as dante got to town , but i just -- i just kept thinking that i could fix it , you know , that i could get him pulled off the case . and now it 's just gone on too long , and it 's too late . kate : okay , let 's all take a deep , cleansing breath . olivia : [ exhales ] kate : good . now , what makes you so sure that claudia knows the truth ? olivia : because the way that she was acting with us this morning , it got worse in the afternoon . it 's like she was taunting us . she was taunting me and dante , and she was trying to trip -- trip us up , you know ? kate : well , just keep in mind , all right , that claudia only thinks about claudia , so whatever she may choose to do must benefit claudia . olivia : yes , so blowing dante out of the water gets her big points with sonny , and he would hate me for not telling the truth , so why would n't she do it ? kate : well , it all depends on what she actually knows , right ? i mean , if she only knows that dominic is really dante , that he 's your son , that he 's an undercover cop -- olivia : yeah , then he 's a dead man . kate : okay , well , on the other hand , if she knows that dante is sonny 's child , she may not want sonny to know . olivia : i just should have -- i should have told the truth a long time ago , just like you said . i do n't know how i thought that i was gon na protect him from anything . i just wish i could pack up my baby and take him back home , you know .

[ scene_break ] sonny : oh , sorry . i know how deeply important your work is to you . but do you really do it now ? claire : well , it 's an urgent matter , it ca n't wait . want to see ? sonny : huh ? is n't that stuff confidential ? claire : well , i wo n't tell if you wo n't . [ scene_break ] steve : here 's the address . mr. mulvaney told lisa she could use the cabin any time she was to . he has a spare key under the kitchen window beneath a rock . patrick : okay . hopefully that 's where she 's got robin . steve : if she took robin at all . lisa : hey . i 'm sorry . i know that you 're the boss , but since patrick spent the night in lock - up , is it really necessary to keep him at work right away ? i want you to leave with me . right now . [ scene_break ] lulu : um , i 'm not sure i understand what you 're saying . dante : i just think you really like being out here in the middle of nowhere , ireland . i mean , we have no plumbing no heating , we got a busted up car . and you look really happy about it . i mean , you 're running around here like frontier woman trying to make this deserted cottage into a temporary home . it just seems to me like something your mother would have done when she was on the run with luke . lulu : well , i guess i never really thought about it , but yeah , maybe i am trying to relive spencer history . dante : but you never lived it . lulu : technical . okay . i guess i 'm trying to embrace it . is this a bad thing ? is that what you 're ... dante : no , no , not at all . you want to be outlaws ? we can be outlaws . we can be like bonnie and clyde . except for the robbing the banks , unless we really needed the money , of course . but i can get a fedora and like a zoot suit . lulu : oh , whatever . dante : and you can get a sexy white dress that fits really tight . lulu : you know what , you want to make light of this , that 's fine . it actually does n't surprise me , because you did n't grow up listening to these irritating stories about your family 's large life before you came along and killed the adventure . not only was i not born in time to participate , but i was the main reason why my mom insisted on settling in a house that ate my father 's soul . i do n't know , but whatever . maybe you 're right . i 'm here with my courageous cop boyfriend , and i 'm helping my brother take down this infamous , notorious crime lord . what better time do i have to prove myself as a spencer or live up to the legend of luke and laura ? dante : that 's just it . you ca n't . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , i appreciate you worrying about me , but i 'm okay . lisa : i disagree . you need to rest . patrick : it 's not gon na happen . honestly , i 'm a little bit wired from being locked up , and i think getting back to work is probably the best thing for me right now . lisa : you just said it , you 're wired . all right , not just from last night . try the months of dealing with robin 's endless drama . i am not going to take no for an answer . we 're going to go grab lunch , we 'll rent a dvd and we 'll chill . steve : i 'm afraid that 's not going to work . lisa : why not ? steve : because i ca n't spare you . a patient is coming up from the e.r . it sounds like a femur to pelvis rebuild , and i want you to take it . o.r . 5 is being prepped as we speak . lisa : all right . well , you know what , since you 're so determined to work , how about you scrub in ? hmm ? [ scene_break ] mike : hey , maxie . what can i get you ? maxie : i 'm actually going to wait for matt to order . mike : okay . any news on robin ? maxie : no , not yet . but thank you for asking . that 's actually why i 'm meeting matt here to eat . i 'm not very good at sitting around waiting for the phone to ring . he 's actually a pleasant distraction . if i let myself think about it too long , i just get scared . i honestly do n't know what i would do if something happened to robin . i 'm not gon na go there . i 'm not going to think about it . she 's going to be fine . mike : that 's the spirit . so , matt , huh ? i mean , not that it 's any of my business , but i was kind of rooting for spinelli . maxie : time can be cruel . it changes things . mike : yeah . is spinelli doing okay ? is that all right ? maxie : well , as you can imagine , he 's having a really hard time getting over me . mike : of course , of course . so how about some iced tea while you wait ? maxie : sounds good . mike : okay . maxie : spinelli ! i was just telling mike how some things never change . i mean , how many times did i warn you about hacking while walking ? spinelli : maxie ! i did n't notice you . maxie : really ? spinelli : yeah , i 'm sorry . i was distracted by the confirmation of something i 've long suspected . maxie : please tell me this does n't have anything to do with franco . spinelli : what ? no . `` ariel blane `` . maxie : who ? spinelli : `` ariel blane , super spy `` . maxie : um , that did n't help me . i 'm so lost . spinelli : it 's only the most bodacious game ever created , next to `` saga of stone cold `` , of course . and as it turns out , the inspiration for `` ariel `` is none other than stone cold 's ex - wife , the divine brenda barrett . and now that i 've met her , it 's ... most apparent why . she is , without a doubt ... the most captivating woman on the planet . [ scene_break ] brenda : it 's really nice to meet you . sam : you , too . brenda : i 'm so sorry i did n't realize who you are . because he never told me what you look like or anything . he actually has never told me anything about you because he does n't really like to talk . not to me , anyway . jason : yeah , well , no , i do n't see any reason to tell you about my personal life . brenda : what are you talking about ? why would n't you tell me about your personal life ? we 've known each other forever . you have no problem taking away my choices ! jason : taking away your choices ? i just thought your choices were wrong . brenda : oh , now you 're going to tell me how wrong i am in front of your girlfriend ? that 's really nice behavior . jason : sam ! brenda : sorry . sam : no , are you kidding ? it 's okay . it 's actually kinda funny to see you like this . [ scene_break ] sonny : how 'd you get it to do that ? claire : what do you mean ? i 'm a woman of many talents . sonny : yeah , no , i like surprises . claire : yeah ? sonny : yeah . claire : well , i 'm , uh , i 'm just getting started . sonny : yeah ? claire : yeah . before this plane hits the runway , we 're going to have a lot of us time . sonny : yeah ? i like us time . claire : yeah ? sonny : yeah . claire : you know what , i 'm gon na go out on a leap here and assume that this is n't the first time that you 've done this . sonny : um , well ... claire : no , really , i 'm sure you 've had sex on a plane countless times with women . sonny : not countless . claire : no ? is n't it exciting ? sonny : it 's been a long time . claire : mm - hmm . sonny : mm - hmm . claire : do you enjoy it ? sonny : not as much as i 'm going to enjoy right now . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , my nonna , she was chock full of age - old wisdom , but she had a saying . it was `` comparison is the killer of joy . `` lulu : you 're comparing me to your grandma ? how the mighty have fallen . dante : look , think about it , she 's right . i mean , the minute you put yourself or what you have up against someone else , you feel completely inadequate , or your ego gets so blown out of proportion , especially when you compare yourself to other people 's relationships . there 's always going to be another couple out there who 's better off or worse off than you are . and it 's a false impression , because no one knows what really works or does n't work in that relationship except for the people who are in it . lulu : i 'm a little concerned , because that was insightful . dante : i 'm actually trying to be serious . lulu : i know , i know . i know . you do make a good point . you know , my parents were telling these stories to a little girl . so obviously they 're going to emphasize the romance and downplay the danger , or what it was like to live in constant fear . dante : i ca n't imagine how hard it would have been for them after living a life on the run to going back to an ordinary life . i mean , it 's hell for me when i come off an undercover job . i mean , you live this heightened reality , and then you just crash down to mundane . lulu : yeah , i 'm convinced that 's what did in their marriage . i mean , dad was going into this adjustment reluctantly , and i just do n't think it really took . dante : so you see what i 'm getting at here ? lulu : i have a feeling you 're going to tell me . dante : well , i 'll give you a chance to guess it , and then if you 're right , i wo n't have to tell you . lulu : [ laughs ] that i should have a proper perspective , and we will live life on our own terms and i wo n't compare us to my parents . dante : and whatever they have , good and bad , is theirs . and we 'll have whatever we make together . lulu : well , all those cheesy pick - up lines , who would have thought deep down there would be so much wisdom ? dante : fools 'em every time . [ scene_break ] lisa : actually , this is a better idea , 'cause you 've always said that you 're never more centered than when you 're in the o.r . so assist me , all right ? steve : i 'm afraid i 'm going to have to pull rank on this one , too . if you 're going to stick around , i want you on that head trauma we 've been consulting on . patrick : okay . steve : look this over . if you still feel like you need assistance , i 'll get dr. novak . lisa : all right , well , normally if i do n't have patrick i would just do the surgery myself . but this could be a complicated rebuild . steve : epiphany , could you please page dr. novak ? epiphany : right away , doctor . lisa : okay , i am really worried about you and i do n't think that you should be alone . so please meet me after we scrub out . patrick : okay , i can do that . lisa : promise ? patrick : yes . lisa : okay . patrick : she knows . steve : knows what ? patrick : i think she 's figured it out . she 's trying to turn it on me . steve : or maybe she just wanted you to scrub in for surgery . patrick : she 's trying to keep me at the hospital instead of looking for robin . she knows that i 'm onto her . steve : well , i hope you 're right , because from what i 've seen , you 're just grasping at straws . patrick : keep her at the hospital as long as you can , okay ? steve : yeah , i 'll take care of it . good luck . [ scene_break ] mike : here you go , killer . spinelli : thanks , pal . mike : take care . spinelli : you know , the jackal is uncharacteristically at a loss for words . i mean , her ... her presence , her charisma , it was so much more powerful in person than anything that could be captured in a photograph . she ... she is the epitome of womanliness in all its glory . maxie : for pete 's sake , spinelli , you only met brenda for like 5 minutes . i think you 're confusing her with this ariel cartoon or whatever . spinelli : ariel is not a cartoon . she 's a character based on the divine one , for reasons that are now obvious to me . not only is she beyond lovely , but she 's fearless . maxie : how would you know that ? spinelli : because the jackal 's been briefed on recent events . even though the former ms. stone cold was in grave jeopardy , she did not wish to retreat . stone cold had to work hard to convince her , and even stone cold does not intimidate her . maxie : i think i 'm going to throw up . there you are ! i was beginning to think that you were going to forget about me . matt : impossible . spinelli : oh , doctor . do you game ? matt : video or tables ? spinelli : well , i was curious if you 'd ever played `` ariel blane , super spy `` . matt : sure . it took me a week to get past level six , but i did n't mind because the graphics are awesome . spinelli : did you know that brenda barrett is the model , no pun intended , for ariel ? matt : no . no , i did not know that . spinelli : well , it is true . and fortune smiled upon the jackal , because that same ms. barrett is now sharing my abode . to which i must return to post haste to further bask in her loveliness . matt : awesome . see you , buddy . [ door closes ] [ matt chuckles ] [ maxie sighs ] matt : you okay ? maxie : yeah , yeah , i 'm perfect . i just have far more pressing concerns that the awesomeness of brenda barrett , who i 'm really starting to dislike , by the way . there 's still no word on robin . i think mac is working a different angle , but he wo n't tell me anything . he just keeps saying , `` stay out of it , maxie . `` matt : that was not a very worthy effort . maxie : excuse me ? matt : you 're usually much better at the old dodge than that . but , sure , you 're worried about robin , but you 're also worried about your own self interest , too . maxie : i have no idea what you 're talking about . matt : your non - husband has the hots for some other woman and it 's making you crazy .

michael : sounds good to me . starr : yeah , me too . carly : thank you . great . johnny : i 'm gon na go in back and check on something . excuse me . spinelli : so i told maxie that there could be no rekindling of our friendship until we were both otherwise occupied . romantically , that is . ellie : and are you -- occupied ? spinelli : that remains to be seen . ellie : well , that sounds -- complicated . spinelli : well , actually , it 's quite simple . we began as friends , became non- spouses , then non - exes , and now she 's married . ellie : she is ? where 's her husband ? spinelli : in prison for manslaughter . maxie : she calls him damian . lulu : so ? maxie : i do n't know . i do n't like it . sam : hey , i 'm really sorry about natalie . mcbain : should have known something else was going on . i guess , in some way , i should have seen this coming . sam : come on . it 's not gon na make it hurt any less . mcbain : it should hurt , sam . i just lost something -- very valuable to me . and when you lose something that you thought you could build your life around -- you know , once you get past the blame and who did what to who -- at least you 're left with that person , you know ? the person you were in love with , the one that you had this rare connection with . and it 's just gone . and you 're left -- you 're left trying to figure out what comes next . jason : you ready ? hey , elizabeth , you ready ? elizabeth : no , um -- jason : if we do n't leave now , we 're gon na miss the whole -- elizabeth : i have to tell you something . jason : are you okay ? elizabeth : no . jason , the last few months have been really crazy , and i -- i 'm barely recognizing myself right now , and -- jason : what 's going on ? elizabeth : -- there 's a lot of things -- jason , i lied to you . i lied . with my friends , we 'll do almost anything . spinelli : it 's a surprisingly kitschy touch for the queen of couture 's nuptials . although according to maxie , there have been many such departures in taste . you know , perhaps one of mr. sir 's enforcers sent them along as a token of congratulations . ellie : so the `` queen of couture `` -- ? spinelli : yeah , uh , the bride -- kate howard . ellie : oh . and `` mr. sir `` ? spinelli : uh , the groom -- sonny corinthos . `` mr. sir , `` years ago , started as a term of respect . ellie : hey , you think it would be okay if you , uh , just called me `` ellie `` ? spinelli : yeah . it 's a most beautiful name . alexis : kristina said she 's gon na be late . sonny : what else is new ? alexis : apparently something intense is going on with her and trey . sonny : he finally admitted that he 's scully 's son . alexis : willingly ? sonny : i did n't beat it out of him , if that 's what you 're asking . alexis : what else did he admit to ? sonny : would n't tell me who his father is , did n't tell me what he 's planning , but he did say he got in a fight with kate . alexis : about what ? sonny : she said that she was giving him a hard time about kristina , and he started lashing out , but i got that -- there 's something -- i do n't know -- alexis : think it was something about her being his mother ? sonny : kate would have told me . alexis : when are you gon na tell her ? sonny : not till after the wedding , like we said , alexis . alexis : you okay ? sonny : well , i 'd feel a lot better if , you know , i knew that joe jr. did n't have anything in store . kristina : everyone said that you were a liar and a hustler and you were playing me ! but i knew better . i actually thought you cared . trey : i - i did . kristina , i still do . kristina : so what 's the big plan , huh ? how does marrying me gon na get back at my father ? trey : i do n't know . kristina : you do n't know . trey : it does n't matter . whatever it is , it does n't matter . i already told my dad that i wanted out . i am done doing his dirty work , kristina . kristina : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . it 's -- it 's not funny , except it is , 'cause now you 're stuck with a wife for no reason . it sucks to be you , trey . trey : i 'm not proud of myself , kristina -- but when we made love -- for the first time -- kristina : when you told me you wanted to be with me for real ? trey : i meant every word . kristina , if you believe anything , please -- please believe that . dante : all right , well , you ca n't get married without one of these . michael : oh , yeah . how you feeling ? sonny : you know , anxious , nervous a little bit , but with you guys here , i feel great . michael : there 's no place you 'd rather be . dante : you know what ? you and kate have truly been tested . you fought for the woman you love , and here you are . sonny : [ chuckles ] michael : if that 's not worth standing up for , i do n't know what is . sonny : you know what makes me feel great -- is that we 're family , right ? you guys know that . nothing 's more important to me than that . and , as of today , kate 's a part of that . how do i look ? michael : you look like somebody who 's about to get married ? [ laughter ] starr : have you seen johnny ? carly : no . no , uh -- kate probably has him cleaning barnacles off the boat . starr : can she really be that demanding ? carly : yes , she can . connie : hey , hey ! about time you showed up . you ready , freddy ? johnny : no . connie : huh ? that 's the wrong answer . johnny : carly 's here . connie : let 's party . johnny : i ca n't do this to her . please . connie : `` please `` what ? johnny : it 's not too late to change your mind . elizabeth : sam is not with john mcbain . i made it up . please do n't hate me . jason : uh , w - why would i hate you ? elizabeth : i wanted you to get a divorce . i went out of my way to make it happen . jason : make it happen how ? by telling me sam was with john mcbain ? elizabeth : and i told sam that you were with me . actually , i made sure she overheard it . it does n't really matter , but i 'm pretty sure that 's why she delivered the divorce papers . jason : why -- why would you do that ? elizabeth : she saw us kiss on your birthday . but she did n't -- she did n't hear what you said to me . jason : that we could n't be together . elizabeth : i did n't want her to know . especially -- especially because i heard the two of you were getting closer . jason : sam said that ? elizabeth : she told kristina . she did n't know i was listening . jason : so you made sam believe that i had moved on . elizabeth : and it was really stupid . it was stupid , and it was immature . it 's not the person i want to be . i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry , jason . sam : here you go . mcbain : thanks . you know , given our past , this -- may not be the best idea right now . sam : yeah , probably not . mcbain : i think i probably should get going . sam : i think i should probably walk you out . maxie : hey , can you go check on kate ? lulu : why ? maxie : because if i do it , she 's only gon na bite my head off . lulu : you do n't think she 'll bite mine off ? and you 're better at handling her than i am . maxie : true , but you have nothing to lose , and i do . besides , i would do it for you . lulu : you absolutely would not . maxie : you 're right . and that just proves what a better person you are than i am . please , could you just go ? and i need to stay and keep an eye on ellie and spinelli . lulu : her name 's ellie ? maxie : stop . just go . spinelli : i find it somewhat troubling that jason has not yet arrived . ellie : your friend from last night ? spinelli : uh , yeah . he made a terrible mistake , and he 's doing everything in his power to make amends for it . just want everything to turn out okay for him . ellie : it 's remarkable how much you care . i can tell you 're a really good friend , damian . spinelli : well , that 's kind of you to say , ellie . ellie : i 'm sure jason will be here soon . spinelli : jason and the groom are longtime friends and business partners , and -- jason would never let sonny down . unless he was unavoidably detained . elizabeth : jason , please , just try to understand . i only did these things because i care so much about you . i just -- wanted it -- to finally be our time . jason : look , i -- i should get to the wedding . elizabeth : jason , wait . there 's more . it 's about sam 's baby . mcbain : more than anything , i just want you to be happy . sam : so do i . steve : what ? steve : what ? olivia : i just pulled this out of the trash . steve : what ? what am i looking at ? olivia : you are looking at a valuable family heirloom . this was our dead grandmother 's . i gave it to kate , and she wiped mascara all over it . steve : maybe she mistook it for a tissue . olivia : when was the last time you saw a lace tissue ? i know -- i know that you think i 'm crazy , you think that this is all in my head . i 'm telling you , something is up with my cousin and not in a good way . carly : is there still no sign of johnny ? carly : what the hell does kate have him doing ? johnny : i will do anything you want -- anything . just please , leave carly out of this . connie : it is so sweet how you try to protect her . totally futile but so sweet . look , johnny , you 're gon na lose her one way or the other . better now than down the road , right ? johnny : i will not let you do this to me . connie : it 's not like you have a choice ! alexis : that 's it . i 'm calling kristina . sonny : all right . tell the bodyguards the ceremony 's gon na start . i want security to be perfect . max : you got it , boss . no one 's gon na mess up anything for you and ms . howard . sonny : i just got a feeling that joe jr.

[ chuckles ] same here . derek : and second ... if i can help you with whatever this is , i will . alexis : thank you . derek : you 're welcome . so , why do n't you go ahead and start from the beginning ? alexis : the very beginning ? derek : why not ? alexis : okay . um ... well , i was 16 years old , and i , uh , met this guy in a bar in new hampshire , and we -- derek : so this has to do with sam 's father . alexis : remember him ? derek : that 's not exactly a story you forget . alexis : okay . derek : mm - hmm . alexis : remember i remembered his name ? derek : uh , through hypnosis . alexis : his name julian ? julian jerome ? derek : okay ? alexis : you do n't think that this is more than a coincidence , that all of a sudden , i remember this name julian from my past , and then now , the name julian is brought up in the present ? and it makes you wonder if maybe this guy is one and the same ! maxie : i can explain everything , but ... you 're not gon na like it . dante : [ stammering ] that 's real intuitive of you , maxie ! on what planet -- on what planet do you think that we 'd like any of this ? ! spinelli : you 're angry . dante : is that what it is , spinelli ? you think this is anger ? i - i do n't know if it quite covers it ! spinelli : i understand . dante : do you ? ! do you understand what 's going on ? spinelli : but if you 'll just hear maxie and -- and -- and myself out -- maxie : no , spinelli . this is on me ... and no one else . lulu : one of you better start talking . maxie : do you remember on new year 's eve when that dog showed up ? dante : yeah , you tripped over the thing . we showed up at your house to check in on you , and you were n't there , and you and spinelli showed up about 10 minutes later . lulu : yeah , you said that there was nothing to worry about , that everything was fine . maxie : i had a miscarriage . lulu : what ? maxie : i lost your baby . lulu : [ gasps , sobs ] britt : my mother is crazy -- certifiably , undeniably crazy ! who knows what she did with him ! nikolas : we 'll find out , britt . i promise . britt : [ groans ] wait , wh - who are you calling ? nikolas : anna devane . britt : oh , you ca n't ! you ca n't do that ! duke : i never noticed that patrick was still wearing his wedding ring . it just never occurred to me to look . anna : mm . i do n't think it occurred to him , either , until someone pointed it out . he could n't take it off , duke , because he ca n't commit to a life without robin . duke : but you 've encouraged him ? anna : yes , of course ! i was telling him that , you know , he needs to do this for sabrina 's sake ! but -- duke : but what ? anna : who am i to tell him what to do ? who am i to tell him to move forward with his life , when i 'm having as hard a time doing it myself ? [ crying ] i think about her -- i think about her constantly ! [ sobs ] i think about -- [ sniffles ] i think about -- about her in my memories i think about her now ... in the present . i 'll walk past a window , and i 'll see a dress . and i 'll think , `` oh , that 's her style . she would love that dress . `` and i go into the shop , you know , and -- with the intention of picking it up . and then it hits me ! she 's never gon na spin around in that dress ... because she 's not here . duke : oh , anna ... anna : i know i have to accept it . i get that , and i tell myself that i accept it . [ sniffles ] but it 's just so hard to believe ... that she 's not alive . i just feel as if she 's ... alive , like she 's just out there somewhere in the world ! sabrina : accepting that someone is really , truly gone -- i 've been there . patrick : mm - hmm . sabrina : it 's brutal . to this day , it 's still difficult for me to think of life without my mother . patrick : so , i 'm doomed . is that what you 're saying ? sabrina : i 'm saying that the love never goes away . and it should n't ! patrick : you ... are being too kind . you 're letting me off the hook , because what i 'm doing is not fair . sabrina : what are you doing ? patrick : a year and a half , and ... i 'm still wearing my wedding ring ! sabrina : why -- why do you think you have n't been able to take it off ? patrick : i do n't know . i guess because if it 's ... still on my finger , i can hold on to the fantasy that ... robin might still be alive . jerry : ta - da . robin : what is that ? jerry : something i think you might find very motivating . robin : [ sighs ] why do n't you just ever say what you mean ? ! jerry : it is the dvd of the 2013 general hospital nurses ' ball ! [ chuckles ] robin : nurses ' ball ? [ scoffs ] but the board was always saying there was n't enough money ! jerry : well , there nearly was n't . ms. coe , et al . -- robin : wait . [ chuckles ] hold on a second . l - lucy ? she came back for the ball ? jerry : yes , and then , apparently , for good . robin : so th - they did find the funding . jerry : oh , blast ! anonymity is overrated . yes ! it was me ! [ laughs ] i paid for the whole affair out of my very deep pockets . robin : why would you do that ? jerry : on a global note , hiv / aids is a vicious , terrible , and unnecessary disease that should be eradicated . on a personal note , i was concerned about your health . robin : i am healthy . jerry : thanks to me . i 've provided you with cocktail , have n't i ? made you take it every day . robin : yeah , so i do n't croak before i finish your cure ! just do me a favor , okay , and do n't pretend that you actually care about my wellbeing . jerry : i 've provided you with something that was a reminder of what 's waiting for you at home . so ... do you want to see it or not ? sam 's father . do you have anything else to connect these men , other than the fact that they 're both named julian ? alexis : well , that julian is not a common name ! derek : [ chuckles ] well , it 's not exactly the most uncommon name , either . i mean , besides , even if they are the same person , the man is dead . so what difference does it make ? alexis : so why should i care after i ignored it all this time ? derek : i was trying to be a little more tactful , but , uh , yes . alexis : because i do ! because it 's gnawing at me ! because i need to find out ! and -- and that 's where you come in , or -- or where i hope you come in . derek : right ! [ sighs ] i almost , um , forgot about the favor ! alexis : okay . i was wondering if , with all your media connections -- if you could find out if julian jerome is actually sam 's father . duke : to hell with derek wells . my mind is made up . i 'm gon na play hooky for the day . we 're gon na go someplace . we 're gon na go anywhere you want to go . anna : you ca n't play hooky . you ca n't ! you just started this job . and , besides , i 'm swamped anyway . i 've got so much to do . duke : is that a no ? anna : yes . there are any number of criminals out there waiting to be caught , one of which is that hateful woman who tried to kill you . duke : ah , the elusive dr. obrecht . anna : she needs to pay for the hell she caused . and i intend to make sure that she does . britt : anna hates me ! she thinks i 'm working with my mother ! nikolas : give me the phone ! britt : no ! no ! she was about to throw me in jail , and i was nine months pregnant ! now that she knows i lied to patrick about the baby , she wo n't help me ! nikolas : yes , she will ! you know why ? you know why ? because it 's her duty ! a serious crime has been committed here ! we have to call the police ! it 's the only chance we have of finding your son ! give me the phone ! duke : last chance to take me up on a distraction . [ cell phone rings ] anna : yeah -- oh . um ... hello ! anna devane . nikolas : anna , it 's nikolas cassadine . i - i need your help right away . a baby 's been kidnapped . maxie : you have no idea how sorry i am . lulu : you 're right ! i have no idea about any of this ! so , you were pregnant with our child at one time . there was a tiny piece of us in you , just waiting to grow into a baby . maxie : yes . lulu : then that pregnancy failed . spinelli : you know how miscarriages work -- dante : do n't . lulu : so that tiny , little piece of us -- it ceased ... to exist . it died ... essentially , and you did n't tell us ! maxie : i wanted to . but it was all too fresh for me , and then y - you got called off to rescue your dad . dante : do n't -- do n't even try to make this our fault . you should -- maxie : no , i was n't ! dante : no , you owed us the truth ! maxie : please try to put yourself in my position ! lulu : screw your position ! you did n't think that you owed us the truth ? ! maxie : of course , but i - i also owed you a baby ! and the thought of letting you down -- dante : maxie , this is is n't -- it 's not like we asked you to water our plants ! you were carrying our child ! maxie : i did n't want you to hate me ! i did n't want you to look at me the way you 're looking at me right now ! lulu : no , i am legitimately curious . you miscarry our child , but you are too scared to tell us ! what happened ? maxie : [ sighs ] i -- after you left the country , i asked dr. westbourne to implant me with another embryo . lulu : i 'm sorry . you asked her to do what ? ! maxie : you had two frozen embryos left , and i thought that i could get pregnant by the time you got back . lulu : oh , my god ! maxie : it would 've been your child ! dante : just a different one . [ grunts , stammers ] you do n't see how messed up that is ? spinelli : she did n't do it . lulu : because dr. westbourne said no ? maxie : no . because i could n't . i - i was already pregnant . lulu : thanks to spinelli . ohh ! i was so upset with you ... for having sex so soon after ivf ! i - i kept thinking , `` what if she disturbed the implantation process ? `` but there was nothing to disturb , was there ? ! because our embryo , our dream -- it was already gone ! you got pregnant on new year 's ! maxie : that was the last thing i expected . i mean , when dr. westbourne told me , i was shocked . dante : imagine how shocked we are right now . lulu : all this time -- months and months and months , you have been carrying spinelli 's baby , and ... we thought that she was ours ! how could you do this to us ? anna : this is commissioner devane . can you connect me to lieutenant powers , please ? i have an amber alert for a - a newborn . duke : an infant ? anna : yes . duke : how awful ! anna : listen to this for karma -- the mother is britt westbourne . duke : obrecht 's daughter ? anna : yeah , who aided and abetted her dreadful mother and lied to patrick . sabrina : look , if this is about carols , because he threw you wearing your wedding ring in your face -- patrick : it 's not about carols . it 's bigger than that . sabrina : he was wrong to say that . patrick : well , maybe the way that he said it , but it 's a fair question . i mean , do n't you think ? uh , how serious can i be about you if i 'm still wearing my wedding ring ? sabrina : how serious are you ? robin : i want to see it . jerry : excellent ! it 's a riveting show . there 's a strip tease , you know , actually -- all male , unfortunately . and then ms . coe loses her clothing thanks to richard simmons , of all people . robin : richard simmons ? jerry : yes , it makes the whole thing worth watching . but , uh , i 'll just be cueing up the juicy bits . and ... off we go . patrick : the nurses ' ball was first hosted in 1994 . since then , hiv and aids has become more treatable and more manageable , thanks to medical advancements , which ... robin : [ sighs ] patrick . patrick : but it 's also misleading . robin : i love you . patrick : there is a lot of work to be done . and no one knew that better than my late wife , dr. robin scorpio - drake . robin : [ sighs ] jerry : worth pushing yourself a little harder to get home to , is n't he ? jerry : would you like to see more ? [ keyboard clacks ] robin : mom ! oh , my god ! is that -- jerry : duke lavery ... the one and only . he and your mother reunited . robin : [ sighs ] so it was duke that was feeding faison the wrong history ! [ exhales ] duke really is alive ! jerry : they 're a handsome couple , are n't they ? robin : [ sighs ] jerry : you must really miss them . and they 're not the only ones . [ keyboard clacks ] patrick : my little pop - star daughter here and i are forever grateful for the love that you showed robin and for the love that you continue to show to a cause that -- that robin believed in with all her heart . robin : [ gasps ] oh , my god ! my baby ! you 're so grown up !

[ breathes deeply ] sabrina : but ... ? patrick : no . no buts . just an `` and . `` i 'm starting to feel like a little bit of a hypocrite . i mean ... just the other day , i told sam that she 's using her -- her grief as an excuse . i basically ordered her to get over jason , and ... here i am , wearing my ring , holding on to a fantasy ... that could be sending you mixed signals that could hurt you or confuse you or suggest that i 'm not serious about you . and ... that 's not the truth , because i am -- as serious as i can be . britt : you have to find my son , please ! i do n't know where my mother could 've taken him ! anna : take me through exactly what happened , please . britt : and let them get farther away ? are you serious ? no ! you and your people need to be out looking for ben ! anna : i have an apb on your mother and an amber alert on your son . the airports , train stations , and bus depots are all covered . what i need from you , dr. westbourne , is information to aid in that search . do you understand ? nikolas : just take a deep breath and start from the beginning . britt : [ sighs , stammers ] uh , ben and i were alone here . anna : where were you ? nikolas : i was at my niece 's christening . anna : okay . go on . britt : i - i - i - i went to the bathroom , and when i came back , i - i - i noticed that my mother had let herself in , and she was standing over the crib ! anna : were you expecting her ? britt : no ! i asked her what she was doing here , and she said she came to see her grandson ! anna : so you walk in , and you see your mother -- a woman who is a known criminal on two continents . why did you not call the police ? lulu : why did n't you just tell us you 'd miscarried , especially when you realized spinelli had gotten you pregnant ? ! maxie : because ... i thought it was a way for me to make good on my promise . dante : what -- are you crazy ? what -- do you think you 're some kind of a stork ? you get to decide what baby you deliver ? we -- we signed up for ours , okay ? ! mine ! mine and lulu 's ! not yours ! maxie : but you did n't care whose baby it was when you were going to adopt . dante : what did you just say to me ? so , because we looked into adoption , that gives you the right to pass off your baby as ours ? maxie : no , that 's not what i meant ! lulu : then what did you mean ? maxie : this is coming out wrong ! lulu : okay , j - just tell me this . did you even consider coming clean ? maxie : every day . lulu : because we could 've started over ! we could have used one of our other embryos ! we could 've gotten another surrogate ! but instead , we just -- we just fell deeper and deeper in love with -- with every kick and every sonogram ! you two -- you two just let this go on ! maxie : no , this is not spinelli 's fault . dante : why ? he 's only the father ! maxie : he did n't know ! dante : what ? maxie : i did n't tell spinelli until recently . dante : i do n't even -- what the hell ? you just -- you just -- you 're gon na let her give away your child ? what -- all right , there 's something wrong with you , okay ? spinelli : it -- it 's true . i -- it was n't till after connie 's birth that i ... discovered i was her biological father , but ... maxie and i talked about it , and we ... mutually agreed to keep the secret . lulu : except it was n't a secret . brad was in on it ! obviously , so was dr. westbourne , and who knows who else ! you had to know that the truth was gon na come out , maxie ! it always does ! what did you think was gon na happen when we discovered that this baby is n't really ours ? ! derek : [ sighs ] alexis : look , i know i - it seems like i 'm grasping at straws , here . but i really want to know . derek : i will make some inquiries . alexis : really ? derek : yeah ! of course ! i 'll just have my , uh , research department get on it right away ! alexis : thank you ! uh -- derek : you 're welcome . alexis : for this , and for being danny 's donor . i should take you to dinner , at least . derek : ah , well , i , uh , might just take you up on that . alexis : okay . any information that you have about julian jerome would be very much appreciated . duke : information on julian jerome ? i can help you with that . about julian jerome ? duke : i know quite a bit . we worked together very closely -- not the happiest time in my life . what in particular do you need to know ? alexis : well , it would be very helpful to know if he spent any time in new hampshire as a young man . duke : yes , he did . maxie : please stop saying that connie is n't yours ! lulu : i 'm wrong ? maxie : spinelli and i are -- are giving her to you !

[ sniffles ] patrick : [ sighs ] anna : as far as i know , dr. westbourne , there has n't been a single incident where you were n't working another angle , especially when it comes to patrick and that baby ! so is this all part of a larger plan ? britt : if it is , i do n't know anything about it ! nikolas : anna , i realize that you 're just trying to do your job here . anna : yes . nikolas : but britt 's son is missing . anna : yeah . nikolas : is n't that all that matters ? britt : please ! please ! i need to find my son ! anna : that 's the plan ! but if you 're holding anything back , dr. westbourne -- i mean anything -- it will prevent us from doing that . britt : [ inhales sharply ] [ whimpers ] nikolas : we 'll find him . we 'll find him . britt : [ crying ] maxie : i deserved that . lulu : you deserve worse ! do n't you ever ... call yourself my best friend again ! you let us dream ... and plan , and then you took it all away . maxie : i never meant to . lulu : i do n't care what you meant ! and if you claim one more time that it was all out of love -- maxie : it was ! everything i did is because i love you , and i want you to be happy ! lulu : well , you failed ! royally ! and i 'm gon na tell you why ! because you do n't know what love is ! you 're too selfish and blinded by all things maxie to even have feelings for anyone else ! maxie : i am selfish . but that does n't mean that i do n't care about other people , because i care about you . lulu : just not enough to tell the truth . maxie : i would n't have offered to be your surrogate if i did n't ! lulu : oh , please ! you already admitted that this was more for you than anyone else -- something to focus on , remember ? a way to get over spinelli ! maxie : you are twisting my words ! lulu : you twisted our life ! i knew that i should n't have agreed to you being our surrogate , but you were desperate ! maxie : to help . lulu : i do n't believe that anymore . if you had just told us about the miscarriage , we could 've gotten through it ! our friendship probably would 've come out stronger ! but instead , you just trapped us all in this lie ! and you dragged spinelli along with you ! maxie : lulu , please . lulu : take me out of here . i do n't want to look at her face ever again .

dillon : [ sighs ] pull yourself together . she is -- she is happily married . she does n't want you . you have got to find a way to get over her . maxie : get over who ? dillon : maxie , hey . you 're -- uh , you 're early . you 're never early . maxie : hearsay . i 'm always early for shoots , spa days , and sample sales . now back to you -- who 's the woman ? dillon : oh , you -- you misunderstood . maxie : no , i did n't . were you talking about valerie ? did she break up with you ? 'cause if she broke up with you on the first day of principal photography , that is rude . dillon : no , maxie , valerie and i are -- she did n't dump me . maxie : okay , well , if you were n't talking about valerie , who are you trying to get over ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i 've been trying so hard not to say anything , not to have these feelings , but keeping quiet is starting to feel like a lie . so , here 's the truth -- i ca n't stop thinking about you . lulu : [ clears throat ] dante : lulu , hey . lulu : did i ... hear that right ? why ca n't you stop thinking about dante ? [ scene_break ] paul : i received a rather disturbing call from ex - commissioner sloane . anna : disturbing in what way ? paul : well , he said it was impossible for rivera to have shot corinthos because rivera was dead , and you 're the one who killed him . [ knock on door ] paul : come in . nathan : you wanted to see me ? paul : yes , detective . have a seat . i was hoping to pick your brain for a moment . nathan : about ? paul : your former boss , anna devane . i wanted to discuss the things that she 's capable of . [ scene_break ] sam : hi . anna : hello . i was in the neighborhood , and i thought i 'd pop by . sam : oh , um , well , patrick is at work , and emma is at school . anna : no , i came to see you . can i come in ? sam : yeah . sorry , of course . yes , yes , of course , you can . um ... [ sighs ] well ... [ chuckles ] what can i do for you ? anna : i 've taken on a case , and i need your help . [ scene_break ] milo : mrs. c. , ava jerome is demanding -- ava : i 've come for my daughter . morgan : take avery upstairs . milo and i will get ava out of here . ava : morgan , stop it . you can not keep me from my baby . morgan : hey , she belongs with my father , okay ? there 's a bunch of people here that love her . you 're not one of them . michael : morgan , let go of her . morgan : [ scoffs ] the hell i will . i brought ava on our family . she 's like a disease , and ... [ chuckles ] there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na let her hurt our little sister . ava : i will never harm my daughter . morgan : like you never harmed kiki ? like you never lied to her ? like you did n't sleep with her boyfriend ? ava : well , that 's not fair . carly : you want to talk about fair ? you shot and killed an innocent woman , and now you 're walking away free . how 's that fair ? ava : i have a court order , carly . morgan : screw your court order . you 're poison , all right ? there 's no way in hell that you 're taking my little sister . milo , can you help me with this please ? michael : no , no , no . morgan , you need to stop this before it escalates . morgan : all right , that 's fine . i 'll do it myself , then . officer dowling : hands off the lady . ava : do as he says , morgan . i 'm avery 's mother , and she is leaving with me . [ scene_break ] valerie : that sounded weird . what i meant was ... dante 's been sitting vigil all night -- dante : she was worried about me . it 's been a - a rough morning . valerie : yeah , and when dante did n't come into work , i decided the least i could do was bring him some drinkable coffee . lulu : thank you . [ sighs ] um ... it 's times like these when we were really need family the most . i 'm guessing that there 's no update on sonny . dante : uh , no . no , i 'm just trying to convince myself that no news is good news . lulu : i can see that the weight is getting to you . dante : [ inhales deeply ] i do feel better ... [ sighs ] now that you 're here . valerie : i should get moving . i just came to see how things were going , but , now that lulu 's here , you have someone to be with you . [ scene_break ] maxie : i think valerie is a really nice person . we did n't get along in the beginning , but we 've made a lot of strides in our relationship . and now you 're stepping out on her ? how many other women are there ? dillon : none . maxie : that does n't make sense . if you were n't talking about valerie , then who -- [ sighs ] dillon : it was you , okay ? i -- i was running lines with myself . maxie : oh ! marjorie . okay . well , you seem kind of tense , so maybe you should do those breathing exercises that you taught me . in through your nose , out through your mouth . i 'm kind of tense myself . i mean , it 's not every day i simulate sex on camera . dillon : well , i 'll try to make it quick and painless . maxie : that 's reassuring , because if these sex scenes take too long or there 's too many takes , nathan might show up , find out we have a problem with our permits , and shut us down . [ scene_break ] paul : what was anna like to work with ? nathan : she was dedicated to the people of port charles . she 's highly intelligent . i 'm sure you 're aware of her past as an agent for the wsb . paul : i am . nathan : then you know her physical skills are formidable . i would n't want to be the bad guy to cross her . sir , can i ask you a question ? paul : ask away . nathan : you knew anna back in the day , right ? that 's what i heard . paul : yes , anna and i crossed paths , but we were n't exactly what you would call close . anna had a checkered past but managed to put it behind her and become a highly regarded police commissioner . nathan : one of the best this town 's ever had . paul : that 's what i 've read , but it 's been over 20 years since i was last in port charles . a lot can change . maybe anna is n't quite the hero that i remember . [ scene_break ] sam : you are a very accomplished agent , so what could i possibly do for you ? anna : i 've taken on an investigation of personal significance . sam : does this have anything to do with kyle sloane and the way he suddenly changed his story and denied having anything to do with tampering with the election ? anna : no . i have washed my hands of kyle sloane . i 'm trying to find the person who shot sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] paul : is anna devane all that she 's cracked up to be ? nathan : well , there are two people here i would trust with my six -- dante and anna . yeah , she 's a risk taker , but she gets the job done . anna devane is the real deal . paul : well , that 's good to know . anna may prove to be useful . nathan : sir ? paul : what i 'm about to tell you , detective , is highly confidential . i 'm considering hiring a special investigator to work directly out of the da 's office . anna 's name came up as a potential candidate . nathan : well , you 'd be fortunate to have her on your team . paul : i 've heard speculation recently that anna is n't , uh , herself lately . nathan : someone very close to her was murdered . paul : mm , duke lavery . where do you stand with the investigation ? nathan : well , we have a warrant out for the former julian jerome enforcer carlos rivera , but he 's in the wind . paul : no idea where he is ? nathan : we did n't have a lead until last night . apparently , carlos has come back to town to shoot sonny corinthos . paul : you sound ... skeptical . nathan : i do n't think the story is credible . paul : and why not ? nathan : well , consider the source -- ava jerome . [ scene_break ] morgan : and , ava , you 're not taking our sister , all right ? officer dowling : that 's enough . move away or else you 'll be arrested . morgan : go ahead . go ahead , try me . do you even know who this is ? she 's ava jerome . she 's a murderer . so she 's not taking our sister . officer dowling : son , if you do n't back off -- ava : it 's all right . i 've got this . morgan , there is a court order in place . morgan : oh , right , because you have so much respect for the law . michael : no , she respects the law when she can use it against you . she 'll have you arrested if you get in her way , right ? morgan : is that true , ava ? ava : do n't put me in that position . morgan : oh , okay . okay , because this is my fault . this is my fault that i 'm protecting my sister from the wrecking ball that is you . michael : there 's no point in arguing with her , morgan . like you said , she does n't care about anyone . she does n't care about you . she does n't care about avery . all she cares about is herself . ava : well , who the heck are you to judge ? you bludgeoned your own stepmother to death . you should n't be allowed within a mile radius of my daughter . michael : you want to know why i bludgeoned my stepmother ? it 's because she tried taking my baby sister . ava : is that -- is that a threat ? did you hear that ? i think he 's threatening me . michael : no , that is not a threat . i 'm stating a fact . i killed my stepmother , i went to prison , and i was released . i paid my debt to society , but you did n't . but you will . one way or another , you will . ava : oh , that sounds like another threat . these people are defying a court order . maybe they ought to be arrested . carly : no one 's going to be arrested . no one . and we 're not defying a court order . officer , what is your name ? officer dowling : dowling , ma'am . carly : officer dowling , as you can see , this is an extremely emotional situation that ms. jerome is trying to escalate . ava : escalate -- me , escalate it ? how about these thugs that you call sons ? carly : to avoid any further upset to avery , this is what 's going to happen . i 'm going to hand avery to you , and you 're going to hand her to ms. jerome , okay ? and then , you and ms. jerome , you guys can leave my house together . officer dowling : okay . ava : carly . just give me my daughter . officer dowling : ms. jerome , the family is willing to comply with the court order . let 's just let them do it their way . carly : thank you , officer dowling . we have to say goodbye to your sister -- morgan : mom . mom , mom , mom , no . carly : yes . i 'm sorry . michael : you be brave , okay ? you be a brave , little girl , all right ? this will all be over soon . morgan : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , avery , okay ? i 'm sorry i did n't do better for you . carly : hey . it 's okay . we 're gon na get her back soon . morgan : all right , you be good , kiddo , all right ? i love you . carly : yeah . did you hear that ? we love you . thank you . thank you . yummy . we love you , and you are brave . this is for your daddy . and this is for me .

[ scene_break ] lulu : valerie , please stay . we -- we could take all the family support that we can get . valerie : [ sighs ] i would if i could , but works calls . new da , new warrant for carlos rivera -- it 's a busy day at the station . lulu : mm , i remember those . valerie : if you guys need anything -- dante : yeah , we , uh , we know where to find you . thank you again for stopping by . valerie : that 's what family is for . lulu : [ sighs ] valerie has been really thoughtful and supportive . [ sighs ] dante : she has . uh , have you heard from carly ? lulu : no . radio silence , which is strange . i would think that carly , michael , and morgan would be here . dante : yeah , i wonder what 's keeping them . [ scene_break ] [ avery babbles ] ava : say , `` bye - bye `` . carly : bye , for now . just for now . ava : we 'll see what the court has to say about that . carly : yeah , we will . okay , milo , can you please escort officer dowling and ms. jerome out of my house ? morgan : wait , wait . ava : we 're leaving . morgan : no , you 're not . not without this . [ sighs ] it 's her blanky . carly : she gets upset without it . ava : i will make sure she has it all the time . carly : ava , wait a second . ava : what is it , carly ? carly : sonny 's gon na want to see his daughter . ava : are you really asking me to bring my child to see the man who tried to kill me ? carly : sonny has legal rights to his daughter . and whether you want to admit it or not , avery needs her father . ava : maybe . maybe not . morgan : this is wrong . this is wrong . we should have -- we should have taken her to the island . michael : we have to obey the courts . morgan : why did we let that bitch take our sister , michael ? carly : hey , hey ! morgan : why ? carly : knock it off . stop arguing . morgan : [ sighs ] all right . sorry . carly : what matters is that we get avery in the end . look at me . [ sighs ] sometimes , we have to lose the battle to win the war . [ scene_break ] dante : can you call carly ? sonny 's out of surgery . she 's gon na want to be here . sam : [ sighs ] look . [ scene_break ] anna : i just feel that if duke were alive , he would want to know that whoever went after sonny was brought to justice . sam : yeah . anna : right ? sam : but ... yeah . in a way , anna : i 'm not really doing this for sonny . sam : i completely understand that , but i do n't think that you need my help because , from what i understand , the pcpd has a suspect on sonny 's shooting . anna : i 'm aware that ava claims carlos rivera was behind the ambush . but she lied . sam : ooh ... anna : carlos did n't shoot sonny . sam : wait a minute . how do you know ? [ scene_break ] paul : you think ava 's lying ? nathan : well , i do n't believe her claim that carlos is the shooter . paul : why not ? nathan : well , carlos was a jerome enforcer . he was basically a glorified foot soldier . he was lucky to get out of town after killing duke lavery , and i do n't think that he would come back here to kill sonny of his own initiative . paul : [ sighs ] why would ava lie ? nathan : to avert suspicion . paul : mm . well , my records indicate that ava jerome was in lockup when sonny was shot . nathan : well , yeah , and for months before that , she was living here under an alias and hiding in plain sight . she would have had plenty of time to plan this ambush . and ava knows that sonny 's people are gunning for her . if she can provide them with another shooter , then the target 's off her back . paul : well , the best way to get answers is to find carlos . all right ? keep at it , detective . and keep me apprised of your findings . i want to know everything you know as soon as you know it . [ scene_break ] carly : ava just walked out of here with sonny 's daughter , and i want to know what the hell we 're doing to get her back . ric , you better damn well secure visitation . no , avery can not be left alone with that woman . [ cell phone rings ] michael : hello ? carly : no , no , i am not gon na break the news to sonny -- not until we can tell him how we 're gon na fix it ! morgan : let me see that . let me see that . listen , you son of a bitch , okay ? if you do n't have our sister back by the time our dad wakes up from surgery , i 'm personally gon na beat your ass , all right ? michael : morgan , stop . yeah , we 're on our way . that was dante . surgery is over . we need to get to the hospital right now . [ scene_break ] lulu : like what you see ? dillon : [ stammers ] what ? maxie : like what you see ? dillon : cut . cut , cut ! cut . take 10 , everybody . uh ... grab some food upstairs . [ breathes deeply ] maxie : i am so sorry , dillon . i - i suck , do n't i ? dillon : what ? maxie : was it my voice , my delivery ? i mean [ sighs ] when you improvised that `` what , `` i kind of froze . do i need to straddle you more or -- or less ? was it my `` it `` factor ? are you totally regretting casting me as marjorie ? dillon : no , maxie . slow down . you were -- you were fine . you were good . maxie : all right , then , what is it ? dillon : it was -- it was me . i just got too inside my head . the moment did n't feel right . maxie : oh , okay . um ... this is not a criticism , because i know you 're the director and what you say usually goes , but do you think we got a little too ambitious for our first day of shooting ? i mean , trying to get all the sex stuff out of the way ? maybe we should start with something more -- more accessible . dillon : what were you thinking ? maxie : mm ... oh , all the yelling stuff -- we could rehearse the breakup scene . that 'll get your mojo going , and then the sex stuff will be a breeze . dillon : maybe . maxie : i mean , what 's our other alternative ? unless you actually cast somebody you want to have sex with . probably should have gotten valerie to do this part . dillon : i never even thought about that . [ scene_break ] nathan : hey , whoa , easy . easy . valerie : sorry . i was n't paying attention . nathan : you okay ? valerie : yeah , i 'm fine . i just need to get these to records . so , if you 'll excuse me -- nathan : valerie . what 's going on ? valerie : trust me . you do n't want to know . nathan : i do want to know , or i would n't have asked . valerie : okay , well , i do n't want to talk about it , so ... nathan : look , you 're obviously upset , and i ca n't have you running around here bumping into some perp who 's going to , uh , improvise and hold you hostage and make us look like idiots , so why do n't you just tell me what happened ? valerie : dante . [ scene_break ] patrick : we 'll be re - evaluating sonny every 12 hours . [ footsteps approach ] carly : how 's sonny ? is he okay ? [ scene_break ] sam : it 's not completely unrealistic to think that carlos took a shot at sonny . anna : i have information that contradicts ava 's claim . sam : what information ? anna : yeah , i ca n't disclose that . sam : wh -- you -- do you know carlos ' location ? anna : no . but given his talent for avoiding capture , he 's surely beyond our reach at this point . sam : ours , maybe , but not the pcpd . anna : look , under normal circumstances , i would loop them in , but then that would mean jordan would want to know how i came by my information , and i am unable to give her a satisfactory answer . sam : [ groans ] okay , so , you have information , but you 're not allowed to say how you got it . anna : right . look , i know i 'm asking you to go out on a limb here . i have faith that we can find the person responsible for shooting sonny . i just need you to trust me . [ scene_break ] ava : look around ! it 's where we live . i 'm so happy that you 're here with me . [ avery babbles ] ava : we have lots of lost time to make up for , do n't we ? it 's mama 's fault . i got myself in a bit of a fix , and i had to stay away from you for a very long time . and i am so sorry about that . [ avery babbles ] ava : i hated it . it was so hard for me not being a mother to you and your sister . but i am gon na make up for that . i promise you . avery : hi ! ava : hm . i fought off all those mean people who wanted to destroy me . and i came back to you and kiki . [ avery babbles ] ava : i 'll do whatever it takes to keep you . [ avery fusses ] ava : yeah . [ knock on door ] ava : and we 're gon na be a family -- you and me and kiki . and nothing -- nothing will ever get in the way of that . paul : i come bearing gifts . this must be the princess . ava : avery -- her name is avery . paul : may i ? ava : yeah , no , i , um -- you know , we 're -- we had a very long day . paul : well , with three kids of my own , i have a little experience . you do n't have to be so protective . ava : try having one of your kids kidnapped and then tell me that . paul : well , one was -- my son dillon . tracy stole him from me when he was ... probably a little older than avery . kept him away from me most of his life . ava : i did n't realize . paul : another time . different circumstances . but i missed out on so much . haircuts , birthdays , school plays , stubbed toes -- every milestone that every parent holds dear . you should consider yourself lucky ... avery : hello ! paul : that you were only separated from your child a few months . ava : i was shut out of my daughter 's life for months . i should count my blessings , huh ? paul : oh , at the very least , you should be glad that you have a sympathetic friend in me . avery : mama . paul : having been robbed of much of my son 's life , i would n't inflict that pain on anyone . ava : oh , really ? but other kinds of pain is okay , right ? like the pain i felt when you forced me to work for you ? paul : well , speaking of -- we have business to discuss . ava : what 's that ? paul : neutralizing anna devane . [ scene_break ] anna : this was a mistake , you know , asking you for help then setting conditions . that 's -- that 's unfair . it 's unfair . sam : no , no , no , no , no . i -- i do n't only have to do this for sonny , but i - i have to do it for jason . anna : are you sure ? sam : yeah , i mean , how could i even think about turning you down ? [ chuckles ] patrick and emma would never forgive me . anna : i do n't want to trade on your relationship with them . sam : no , listen . anna : i do n't . sam : you are not hearing me . patrick trusts you , and -- and i trust him , so i - i - i 've got to do the same . yes , of course . i 'm in . [ scene_break ] carly : were you able to take care of the embolism ? patrick : unfortunately , by the time we were able to locate it , it was too late , and the damage was done . morgan : what the hell does that mean ? michael : how bad is it ? patrick : [ sighs ] it 's too early to tell . i ca n't say with confidence what sonny 's prognosis will be . morgan : you 're the hot - shot brain surgeon , are you not ? so what 's your best guess , then ? patrick : i 've seen patients with this type of injury make a full recovery . morgan : okay , that 's great . that 's -- that 's dad . he 's gon na come back stronger than ever . he 's gon na be great . carly : stop . patrick : this type of injury is catastrophic . we 're not gon na know unless and ... until sonny wakes up . [ scene_break ] nathan : what happened with dante ? valerie : [ sighs ] i went to gh to check in on him . and we started talking about the investigation into his father 's shooting . nathan : and ? valerie : he started to open up a little about his relationship with his father . i felt like we were really connecting , and ... god , i just could n't do it anymore . nathan : you could n't do what anymore ? valerie : lie by omission . keep my feelings quiet . so , i told dante that the only reason i was seeing dillon was to keep myself from thinking of him . nathan : i thought you and dillon really liked each other . valerie : dillon 's great -- no question . he 's just ... not for me . [ sighs ] i 'm not over dante . nathan : what did dante say when you told him all this ? valerie : nothing . we never got to that point . lulu showed up , and that was that . i just -- i wish we had more time to talk . nathan : dante 's already told you how he feels . you 're just not hearing 'cause it 's not the answer you want .

[ chuckles ] anna : yeah , i saw that the other day . you guys seemed so happy on patrick 's birthday . it 's -- things are working well ? sam : yes , they are . anna : i got to tell you i was really worried about patrick there for a while . after robin left and he lost his little baby , gabriel , i just kind of never thought he would be happy again . then you came along . sam : [ laughs ] anna : and it 's clear that he and emma , they 're so -- they are really happy to have you and danny in their lives . i 'm very grateful for that . thank you . sam : okay , so , you would n't mind if patrick and i made it official ? [ scene_break ] patrick : he 's facing a difficult recovery . he 's gon na need your support . morgan : can we all really help him get better ? patrick : mental attitude makes a huge difference . the more support that he 's got , the more people believe in him , the better chance of a full recovery . carly : okay . michael , morgan , we got this , right ? michael : yeah , we 're here for dad . carly : mm - hmm . yeah . dante : sonny wo n't want for anything . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] maxie : this is huge . this is , like , massive . dillon : it 's nothing because you are going to forget all about this conversation . maxie : oh , my god . how long have you known me ? that is clearly not gon na happen , so you might as well start talking . how long has this been going on ? dillon : things changed ... at least for me , when lulu and i went to rescue lucky . i saw something in her that i had never seen before . maxie : such as ? dillon : lulu was all grown up . she still had that spencer courage and impulsiveness , but there was -- there was something else , something ... new . maxie : like a husband and a son ? dillon : [ scoffs ] maxie : she loves dante and rocco , and she is never going to leave them . you -- you must realize that . your feelings are gon na go nowhere . dillon : i know . i need to get her out of my head somehow . maxie : oh , okay . well , that 's nice and vague . look , you need to be proactive and have a strong plan on how to resolve these unrequited feelings for lulu and get back into the friend zone where you both belong . dillon : well , i am open to suggestions , maxie . maxie : okay . um , well , in my experience , the best way to get over someone is to ... get under someone else . dillon : that 's what valerie was supposed to be , but somehow i still ca n't get lulu off the brain . maxie : maybe we should take a day to think about it . dillon : no , we -- we -- we are in the middle of a production . we have work to do . maxie : oh , my god . look at you . you 're clearly not gon na get any work done like this , so i say we take a step back and revisit this tomorrow . dillon : you 're not gon na say anything to lulu , are you ? maxie : as if . this is not my circus , dillon . and however inappropriate your feelings are , they 're totally understandable . lulu is great . but you are great , too . dillon : [ chuckles ] maxie : and there is someone out there who is perfect for you . it 's just not lulu .

while acting out the sex scene which he wrote , directed cast himself as the leading man , dillon reveals to maxie that he has feelings for lulu that are not going away even though she is not available . he admits that he does not have the connection with valerie that he feels with lulu as valerie does not have the feelings for him that she still has for dante . maxie discusses the matter with dillon but does not reveal to nathan or to dante what she found out . meanwhile , valerie discusses with nathan that she 's not over dante although he does not reveal it to his partner or anyone else . although dante does not admit it , whenever he runs into valerie , he makes it clear that he has a connection with her that he may not have with lulu . ava is able to take baby avery out of sonny 's home although carly , michael and morgan are not ok with that and sonny is presently unconscious , unaware and it 's uncertain if he will live . meanwhile , paul is up to no good while having all the cops and citizens of port charles believing he intends to enforce the law and do good . he realizes that most people question the credibility that carlos rivera shot sonny since nobody has seen or heard from carlos because he 's dead ( although it 's still a deep dark secret that anna killed him ) . paul informs ava that they both need to come up with a better `` fall guy `` in sonny 's shooting than carlos since sooner or later , the pcpd will find out they are both lying . people also wonder why either anna or paul would know , with certainty that carlos could not have shot sonny .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : so , has all this research finally brought you to your senses ? alexis : i take it you 're here to pick up the last part of our conversation ? nikolas : i told you it was n't over . alexis : oh . there 's other options other than chemotherapy . nikolas : then give me a better one . alexis : i 'm working on it . what happened with the other family crisis you had ? nikolas : you 're changing the subject . alexis : yes , i am . nikolas : ok , i took lucky to rehab . alex : rehab ? nikolas : you 've been too sick to deal with what 's been going on . anyway , lucky was in a lot of pain after the incident with manny on the docks . he started taking pills so he could get back to work and he got hooked . alexis : was he taking pills the night manny went off the roof ? nikolas : probably . alexis : i made him a hero . nikolas : yeah , well , whatever happened on the roof that night , lucky 's been in trouble for a long time and finally hit rock bottom a few days ago . alexis : what happened ? nikolas : he set jason up on a drug bust . alexis : well , that 's stupid -- jason does n't deal in drugs . nikolas : anyway , he took a wild shot at jason and almost hit elizabeth . alexis : was she hurt ? nikolas : no , but he was -- he was delirious , he was out of control , he -- he thought that the bust would somehow get him his job back . alexis : lucky was fired ? nikolas : yes . alexis : boy , i missed a lot . nikolas : you 'll miss everything if you do n't follow your doctor 's advice . alexis : nice segue . nikolas : thank you . i 'm sorry , i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to understand how you 're thinking about this . i mean , i do n't know , is it a cassadine thing -- do you want to die ? alexis : no . i want to live . that 's why i 'm so afraid of the chemo , because i 'm afraid that the chemo 's going to kill me before the cancer does . [ scene_break ] jax : i know going to my place is a change of plans . carly : especially since i asked you out to dinner . jax : we could still go to dinner if you want . we could fly to paris . you know , why do n't we fly to paris ? or we could just order out from that french restaurant . carly : i do n't think it 's a good time for you to whisk me off someplace special , do you ? jax : yeah , you 're probably right . i 'm really concerned about alexis . carly : you 're scared for her . jax : i 'd do anything to help her -- even get sonny riled up enough to go after her himself . carly : you did that on purpose ? jax : yeah , a little bit . now i 'm hoping that sonny can get through to her where i failed . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , bernie 's having problems with the vista del playa . he thinks the numbers are way off . sonny : ok , have bernie call alfonso and have him double - check the returns . there 's a bigger problem than a light take at one of our casinos . jason : yeah -- alcazar . he 's getting stronger with every shipment he lands . sonny : you know why we ca n't shut him down . i do n't want a war right now . i already told you , you know , alexis refuses the chemo . she 's not going to want to deal with this right now , as you know . jason : i know . sam told me . sonny : is she doing anything to change her mind ? jason : well , she -- what do you want her to do ? she argued with alexis , told her why the treatment would help , but you know alexis -- she 's not listening . sonny : alexis will die , jason , without chemo . jason : it 's -- it 's her decision , right ? sonny : i get that you 've learned a lesson -- you 're never going to tell anybody what to do or what not to do but , look , i got to think about my daughter here . i got to give her the same , you know , love and protection that i give to michael and morgan , except they know me -- that 's the difference . to kristina , i 'm just a man who buys her ice cream three times a year and too many christmas presents . if alexis dies and i have , you know , kristina , she 's going to look at me like i 'm a stranger . jason : you know , nikolas wants sam to take kristina and molly , sonny . sonny : no , no , no , no , no , nikolas is not making any decisions about my daughter . jason : i 'm just saying they think it 's a compromise , because if sam could take kristina and molly , at least they would stay together . sonny : even if i agreed -- which i 'm doubtful -- ric never would . jason : well , ric has a lot to hide . sonny : blackmail wo n't , you know , make ric sign away his own daughter . jason : he could disappear . sonny : jason , listen to me . killing ric will not change what happened with sam . [ scene_break ] woman : excuse me , ms. mccall ? sam : yeah . woman : i 'm frances napier , chairwoman of the charity committee at the salisbury circle school ? sam : it 's very nice to meet you . i -- i thought i was meeting with one of kristina 's teachers . frances : why ? sam : `` why ? `` is n't she having problems at school ? frances : kristina ? absolutely not . she 's a wonderful student , extremely bright and sensitive . we 're honored to have her with us . sam : i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . why are we meeting ? frances : well , i have an idea to present to you and mr. lansing . sam : mr. lansing could n't be here tonight , so maybe -- ric : mrs. napier ? hi , ric lansing . sorry i 'm late . so , shall we get a table ? [ scene_break ] alexis : look , i do n't have any control over what 's happening to my body . hell , i do n't have any control of what 's happening outside of my body . the only thing that i can seem to control right now is what 's going on in my mind , and i 'm trying to use it , but you all seem to think the cancer is compromising my intelligence , as well , and i ca n't make a rational decision . nikolas : well , ca n't you at least understand our concern ? alexis : there are cancer patients who have survived without chemotherapy . nikolas : but what are the odds ? alexis : they 're not impressive . nikolas : no . alexis : but the odds having lung cancer and having chemo are not impressive , either , and if that 's the case , i do n't want to spend the rest of my days bald and throwing up , and i do n't want to subject my children to it . nikolas : your children are fine . alexis : my children are not fine . do you know that kristina was in here trying to wake me up from a medically induced coma ? nikolas : yeah . sam told me . alexis : did she tell you that kristina is frantic ? how do you think she 's going to feel when she watches me go through chemo ? nikolas : do n't you think she 'll feel worse watching her mother die ? alexis : i 'm not planning on dying . nikolas : but you do n't have any control over that , alexis , especially if you give up your best option to survive . alexis : no , i just -- i just need someone to support me here . that 's all i need is someone to support me . nikolas : growing up , i -- i depended on you to be sane in all the cassadine madness , my voice of reason . now , i 'm asking you , please allow me to be your voice of reason right now , please . alexis : i 'm listening . nikolas : it makes absolutely no sense for you to refuse chemotherapy . alexis : oh . nikolas : it 's not fair to your children . they need you , and i do n't understand why you 're not doing everything you can to stay with them . alexis : i am doing everything i can . nikolas : what ? alexis : i 'm reading everything i can . i 'm researching everything i can . i 'm doing the best that i can , ok ? nikolas : i 'm sorry . ok . ok . alexis : you know , and while i 'm doing that , ric is just going to have to take care of the children . nikolas : from -- from what i understand , he 's not being very supportive right now . alexis : he 's not perfect . i know he 's not perfect . but at least i know that with him , the children will be well taken care of . [ scene_break ] jax : i do n't know why sonny has so much influence over alexis . carly : because she has a crush on him . that 's why kristina was conceived in the first place . alexis has convinced herself that she and sonny have this deep connection and he does n't have the sense to tell her she 's wrong . jax : well , i hope she still believes in that connection so at least he can make her , you know , weigh her options before she decides what therapy to take . carly : i know you wish that you were the one saving alexis from herself . jax : of course . but her life 's at stake . i 'll take anyone 's help , even your ex - husband 's . carly : i get that . jax : you know , being with alexis today -- it just made me realize how much i want to enjoy every day as if it were my last . carly : we should all live like that . jax : alexis is one of my dearest friends . she might not make it through this . it made me -- made me consider my own death and what i would miss . and then i realized how much i would really hate leaving you behind . [ scene_break ] jason : sam and i will get past what happened , or we wo n't . ok ? either way , ric is still dangerous . he hates me , he 's obsessed with you , and he always has an agenda . now , he can play the loving husband , sit by alexis , hold her hand , shed a tear , promise to take care of the family , but what he 's really waiting for is a chance to see you and me dead or in prison . sonny : now that he 's been reinstated as d.a . , it 's easier for him to make that happen , is n't it ? jason : how long are you going to let it continue ? sonny : what 's the alternative ? ric disappears , alexis knows it 's you , it shocks her , she dies ? or i could tell her that ric and sam slept together , right , and that 's -- and that 's why i ca n't let ric raise kristina . alexis and ric split up , she forgives sam or she does n't . they may even have a custody battle in court while she has cancer . does that improve the odds ? jason : so -- so basically , alexis is ric 's ticket to do whatever the hell he wants to do ? sonny : i get that you hate ric . jason : is that -- sonny : you got to put that away because we 're in a bad position right now , business - wise . ric is the d.a . ; that makes it worse . what does he want more than anything ? he wants to lock you up . do n't make it easier on him . now , you are great at shutting down your emotions . you need to do that where ric is concerned . jason : you always have a reason to keep ric alive . sometime you should consider all the reasons for ric to be gone . [ scene_break ] ric : well , i hope i did n't keep you waiting too long . sam : i thought you said you could n't make it . ric : well , my meeting was canceled at the last minute . sam : i thought you said kristina was having trouble at school . ric : where 'd you get that idea ? frances : oh , kristina 's absolutely no trouble , ever . ric : yeah . you know , you probably just misunderstood , that 's all . [ scene_break ] emily : why do n't i drive you home ? edward : look at that criminal . why should he be having his family when i 'm losing mine ? skye disappeared because of him . she was -- she was no threat , she presented no danger . all she wanted to do was to keep her child safe , just like any parent . i 'm going to show that son of a bitch what i think of him . emily : no , you take it easy , grandfather . edward : why did n't he just leave skye alone ? emily : take it easy -- sit down . edward : but , no -- emily : sit . sit down . edward : ooh . emily : excuse me . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : scorpio is better at what he does than i thought , because i 've got people looking for skye , but she 's vanished . diego : well , then , why keep looking ? no , i mean , you two barely starting going out when she got pregnant , right ? so she probably does n't want to be with you . lorenzo : diego , i missed your childhood . i 'm not going to make that mistake again . diego : ok , you did n't know about me , pop . lorenzo : because i was arrogant and careless . imagine if i 'd been more responsible , where we would be now . diego : pa , look , we 're -- we 're doing ok , all right ? and i bet that in time , skye 's probably going to realize that she 's better off compromising with you . lorenzo : skye chose to run . there 's no more room for compromise . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . i want you to listen to me . jax : ok . carly : more than anything , we have fun and we laugh and we 're good at it and we stay in the moment . jax : yes , we do . carly : but when things start to get serious -- you know , like when you started to really care about me , you ran halfway across the world to escape . jax : but i 'm here now . carly : and that 's huge for me . i mean , the fact that you came back and you admitted that you were wrong and you 're willing to make amends and not get caught up in your pride -- i mean , you gave me the courage to risk my heart . and you taught me how . and i 'm really scared , but i know that if i do n't take this chance , i 'm going to miss out on something . i 'm going to miss out on you . [ scene_break ] sonny : why are you refusing chemo ? alexis : uh - oh . sonny : if i can take medication for the sake of my children -- me -- you can , too . alexis : chemotherapy can hardly be compared to taking lithium . sonny : it 's the best chance i got for a good life , you know ? chemo is for you . right ? alexis : sonny , my immune system is completely compromised . chemo would just finish it off . sonny : you do n't think you 're being selfish ? [ scene_break ] frances : alexis was the best fundraising chair we 've ever had . we need another volunteer parent to take over her duties . ric : do you have an idea of who you want ? frances : would you two consider taking the job ? ric : oh . frances : i know i 'm asking a lot at this time , but if you split up the responsibility , it will make it much easier . ric : well -- sam : my mother needs me right now -- ric : you know -- sam : so i do n't think it would be a good -- ric : although , alexis would want us to keep up her good work , and i 'm sure if she 's well enough , she 'd like to bring us up to speed as to what she 's done so far . she 'd want to keep an eye on things . frances : then you 'll do it ? ric : i 'm game . what about you , sam ? what about you , sam ? [ scene_break ] carly : do you remember the night you left me ? jax : yes , vividly . carly : we made love and you slipped out of bed . and you got dressed and you walked over to the door and you stopped . jax : you were awake ? carly : yeah , i was . jax : oh . carly : and i heard you say you loved me . and i waited for you to close the door so you would n't hear me say i love you , too . jax : well , i 'm not walking away or closing any doors tonight . and i know that you 're awake , so here it goes . i still love you . carly : i love you . [ scene_break ] sonny : what 's going on here has nothing to do with chemo or immune systems or anything else . you 're scared , and you have every right to be scared . you -- you feel trapped , you -- you feel like running , you ca n't . you feel like you want some control , but you do n't have any . alexis : i 've already had my session with lainey today , but thank you . sonny : you were on the verge of panic and you 're pleading for your life . you want to make a deal , so here 's the deal . you do exactly what the doctors want you to do . ok ? you do your chemo and you be the best patient they 've ever had . alexis : and if i do n't ? sonny : ahem . i -- i will -- i will take kristina from you the moment you die . [ scene_break ] patrick : so what 'd you think ? elizabeth : i did n't realize how many people were dealing with the same issues . i kind of feel like i 've wasted a lot of time focusing only on lucky . patrick : it 's kind of a revelation , is n't it ? elizabeth : yeah . i just honestly believed that if i was determined enough and i was strong enough and if i loved lucky enough -- patrick : but that 's not the way it works . elizabeth : yeah , all this time , i thought i was losing the love of my life and my marriage and my dreams . but i figured out what i was really losing is myself .

emily : if there 's one person that jerry might be honest with , it 's you . so i was hoping that you could ask him if there is a weird side effect that could be the reason for nikolas ' behavior . because it 's getting worse , jax , and i 'm afraid of what could happen next . nikolas : why are you talking to jax about me ? jax : she was just asking me about jerry -- nikolas : i specifically heard you say something about me getting worse . so what is it you think you can find out ?

[ scene_break ] tracy : my husband did n't leave me , he 's coming back . carly : whatever . you know , luke did n't have a problem dumping lulu in the middle of your crazy family , so why should he get a say on where she lives ? alan : tracy , you 're a birdbrain . you want to get to carly , use bobbie 's name , not luke 's . tracy : what about your mother ? if bobbie were in town , what would she do ? carly : my mother understands that lulu is an adult . alan : betcha bobbie 's had a wonderful trip . tracy : lulu is a lost little girl . carly : oh , come on . like you care ? tracy : i do care . lulu got her heart broken by that logan . she needs a family environment . carly : oh , yeah , and what better family than a controlling shrew , a greedy old man , an overworked , grieving doctor , and let 's not forget the mud - wrestling maid . that 'll straighten lulu right up . alan : i 'll bet you monica could use a vacation . i wonder why bobbie did n't invite her . tracy : do n't look at me like that . it 's just a -- whew -- hot flash . just you wait . carly : you 're wasting my time . i have someplace to be , and i do n't tell jason what to do . tracy : you tell everybody what to do . alan : wonderful -- red cape , meet bull . tracy : would you shut up already ? carly : oh , my god . lulu 's right . you really think you see alan . tracy : do n't you try to diminish my concern for lulu by bringing up my dead brother . i came here with the best of intentions . carly : that 's crap . truthfully , i do n't care if you see dead people . i want you out of here . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i already spoke with jerry about the poison . he was very amused , by the way . and in his opinion , the poison was developed just to kill people , that 's it . there are no known lasting side effects . emily : jerry lies whenever it suits him , nikolas . he might be truthful with his own brother . jax : look , i 'd be willing to try . nikolas : the two of you are overreacting here . have i had a short fuse lately ? yes . but robin 's tests show that i 'm perfectly healthy , so maybe i 'm just a little stressed . you really want to help ? keep your damn brother away from me . that certainly will ease a bit of my tension . jax : okay . if you change your mind about questioning jerry , just let me know . emily : nikolas , i 'm so -- nikolas : do n't you ever go behind my back again . [ scene_break ] lulu : let me be clear . i would n't go back to logan for anything , but i know the person most to blame for all of this is you . you wanted to hurt me so badly that you cheated on your boyfriend with his best friend . looks like you 're the one who 's paying here . i mean , you lost coop , who was the best thing about you . and i 've made mistakes , but i ca n't even comprehend being that self - destructive . but then again , you are the baby - faking and pill- stealing tramp of port charles . maxie : you know , getting your heart stomped on was the least you deserve . i was thrilled to be a part of it . i mean , the look on your face when i told you about my plan with logan -- priceless . and that , little miss not - so - perfect , is exactly what you get for trashing me to lucky , breaking up georgie and dillon , coming on to my boyfriend . lulu : oh , ex - boyfriend . see , actually , i really like coop and i 'm glad he does n't have to put up with your garbage anymore . in fact , he hates you . and logan hates you , and you 've been exposed for the lying slut that you are . so remind me -- who 's the big loser here ?

[ robin sighs ] robin : okay , maybe i overreacted a bit . but it was n't just any patient , it was nikolas . which is probably why you could n't help but look in the first place . emily : well , there is the matter of patient confidentiality . i 'm sorry . robin : the truth is if something was happening with the man that i love -- moot point . emily : still , i should have asked you first . robin : it 's okay , it 's done . do n't worry about it . but i 'm sure you saw that everything 's fine . his blood work was clean . emily : no , but he 's not fine , robin . there 's something wrong . robin : why do you say that ? emily : oh , he 's had mood swings , these extreme outbursts of anger where he just flies off the handle . he 's broken things , and it 's getting worse . he 's getting physically violent with people .

[ scene_break ] scott : you can go . scott : welcome back , punk . according to the harbor patrol , you intentionally rammed your boat into the side of a freighter . what boggles my mind is you got away with my son 's murder , cheated your way out of a lethal injection , so why would you try and kill yourself ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : i was with kate all night . she did n't even -- never mind . what did she -- what did she tell you ? patrick : honestly , sonny , we never got that far . kate lost consciousness before she could say what she wanted to . i would n't worry . i 'm sure she 'll tell you herself as soon as she wakes up from surgery . sonny : you say that with a lot of confidence , and i 'm taking your word at that , because i -- i did have to convince kate 's cousin that you 're going to have to hold off on the surgery , because you said it 's best , you know , right , to wait . and you said that you would get her through this and that she would n't be paralyzed . patrick : i am the best at what i do , and i believe i can save kate , but i also think there should be a dose of realism here . with every surgery , there are risks of complications . some things are out of our control , as you well know . sonny : give her the best you got , doctor . patrick : i promise you , i will . i 'm going to go scrub up . you have a couple of minutes before they come and get her . sonny : oh , boy . sonny : i 've been -- i 've been wrong about a lot of things , but i 'm -- one thing i was right about was falling back in love with you . i want you to take that love back to the o.r . beat the odds . come back to me . [ scene_break ] scott : this piece of garbage just admitted to killing my son ! ric : oh , really ? is that so ? anybody besides you hear this startling confession ? scott : oh , come on , lansing . you think he 's stupid enough to -- to ' fess up in front of other people ? his criminal father taught him to be smarter than that . ric : it 's immaterial either way , baldwin . come on , double jeopardy applies here . you ca n't charge john with logan 's murder again . scott : yeah , well , you know what ? we still got him on reckless endangerment . he did run his speedboat into the side of a freighter . ric : well , if you do n't mind , i 'd like to check the witnesses ' statements from the crew . scott : well , take a look . johnny : there are n't any . when the coast guard pulled me out of the water , guess what ? whoops , no freighter . claudia : oh , so now you 're inventing crimes to charge my brother with ? scott : shut up , you . i did n't invent anything . we had a legitimate witness . ric : watch your mouth . an anonymous witness ? claudia : oh , that 's -- that 's good . the only -- it looks like the only thing you actually have proof of is that my brother was involved in a one - person boating accident . is that -- is that a crime ? scott : no . claudia : but on the other hand , there are two police officers who saw you assault my brother while he was cuffed and helpless . ric : i think ms. zacchara raises a very big point here . we could charge you with assault , baldwin . johnny : i like that . where do i sign ? scott : you know what ? i 'm starting to think that maybe lulu did go crazy . who would n't , dealing with scum like you ? [ scene_break ] jason : cody and i went back to the church to double - check the sightline from the choir loft , and there is no doubt kate was the intended target . max : well , then it had to be karpov , not just because the bullet was russian , but he had motive . karpov was pissed that sonny backed out of their deal . he felt disrespected , so he had kate shot to send a message . jason : okay , max . i just want you to think for a second . anyone can buy a russian gun , right ? i mean , why be so obvious ? you want to send a message to sonny , why not say so ? it does n't add up , and until i know all the facts for sure , i can not retaliate . max : are you seriously standing here , refusing to help sonny get revenge for kate after everything he 's done for you ? [ scene_break ] carly : look , i told you , i 'm not the most objective person . i 'm sorry , but i never liked your cousin , and my recent history with sonny has been rocky , to say the least . olivia : look , if i just wanted the facts , i would have read an old newspaper , okay ? i came to you because you 're an insider . you know sonny better than anybody . let 's face it . the guy 's not the most self - aware guy on the planet , right ? carly : true enough . olivia : here 's what i 'm asking . when he makes his grand gesture about being out of the mob , was he telling the truth or not ? carly : the truth is , sonny genuinely wanted to get out of the mob . he sold his business to his best friend and partner , jason morgan , who happens to be my closest friend , too . when my oldest son was shot , i wanted to make sure the same thing did n't happen to my youngest , so that means keeping my son away from his father . olivia : makes sense to me . carly : yeah , well , it did n't make sense to sonny . he refused to give up custody until jason told him he would n't take over the business unless sonny gave up all parental rights . sonny was furious . furious . he thought jason and i were ganging up against him . he thought we were conspiring to take away his child . and let me tell you something . sonny was angry , and when he gets like that , there is no rational thinking going on . none . it 's all about revenge , and it 's about getting back . so when this russian mob boss showed up and karpov wanted to set up shop in this town , sonny went into business with him , and he did n't tell jason , and he did n't tell kate . i do n't know what happened . i do n't know what went down , but sonny tried to walk away . he said he was done . well , i 'm guessing that 's why your cousin was shot , because karpov wanted to send a message that nobody walks away . olivia : so what you 're telling me is sonny lied . he was never out of the mob , and he basically set my cousin up with a big , fat bull 's - eye on her back . [ scene_break ] sonny : i never got a chance to tell you how amazing you looked in your wedding dress . all that time and effort you put into making it perfect -- i got to tell you , you -- you did it great . took my breath away . i remember you walking down the aisle , and it was like your feet were n't even on the ground , and i saw you . you looked so beautiful , and i was filled with so much love for you . sometimes i just do n't know where to put it . the love i felt , the love i feel now . it 's too much for one person to feel . that 's why you -- you got to come through here , okay ? i -- i would lay down my life for you . kate : sonny . sonny : hey , hey . kate : are you okay ? sonny : yeah , you 're the one we 're worried about . listen . listen to me . save your strength , okay , because we 're going to -- we 'll talk later . kate : you need to know . sonny : it 's okay . it 's okay , it 's okay . epiphany : it 's time to take ms. howard in for surgery . sonny : all right . [ scene_break ] nikolas : thank you , alfred . alfred : oh , this will never do . nikolas : what ? alfred : oh , it seems the maid failed to steam out the crease in the collar . nikolas : oh . it 's fine . i do n't have time . alfred : oh , mrs. jacks ' sister just called to confirm your meeting . nikolas : good . good , thank you . thank you . alfred , one more thing . alfred : hmm ? nikolas : did nadine strike you as a bit -- uh , a bit odd this morning ? alfred : no more than usual , sir . miss nadine is an odd young lady . charmingly so . has something specific prompted your concern ? nikolas : well , i was under the apparently mistaken impression that spending the night with me would be a bit more significant for her . but in fact , it was the complete opposite . it was like she could n't wait to get out of here . alfred : oh . nikolas : you see that thing over there on the floor , quivering , battered , and bruised ? it 's my ego . alfred : oh . nikolas : i guess i did n't know her as well as i thought i did . [ scene_break ] nadine : i 'm just going to go get changed and i 'll be reporting for duty . leyla : you arranged to take the day off , remember ? nadine : oh , i changed my mind . i want to work . i need to work . that way , everything is perfectly normal . leyla : uh - oh . nadine : nothing . leyla : nothing what ? nadine : nothing happened . that 's what you were going to ask , right ? so why do n't you just come out and ask it ? leyla : you seem to be doing just fine by yourself . nadine : well , nikolas found me on the ship . we went back to wyndemere and had dinner , and i called to tell you that i was okay . leyla : and ? you do realize you 're leaving out , like , 15 hours . nadine : do i look different to you ? leyla : different than -- ? nadine : yesterday . leyla : you either tell me what 's going on , or i 'm leaving . nadine : nikolas and i slept together . and -- leyla : oh , my gosh . nadine : and it was -- wow . like fireworks going off in the sky while like every fantasy i have ever had multiplied by a thousand . leyla : nadine , i 'm so happy for you . i know you 'd wanted to make a deeper connection with nikolas for a while . nadine : i do n't know about deeper connection . let 's not regress to teenage silliness here . it 's just sex , right . leyla : just sex . nadine : yeah . nikolas and i are adults . we both understand that one - night stands happen all the time . i mean , you scratch the itch . you sleep it off . the butler brings in breakfast in the morning , and you walk yourself out the door . leyla : oh , my gosh , you did n't . nadine : i did n't want to . but it was so bizarre . i mean , we wake up and start making out , and there was a knock on the door and the butler comes right in . `` will you be having coffee or orange juice , miss ? `` i was just speechless . and nikolas acted so casual , and i did n't want to appear needy or clingy or starry - eyed , so -- leyla : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . so you jumped to the other extreme . how 's nikolas supposed to know that last night meant anything to you if you act like that ? [ scene_break ] scott : file whatever charges you want , lansing . but i can hold him for 48 hours , and that 's exactly what i 'm going to do . so take him down to the holding cell , where he 'll be fresh meat . ric : you might want to let a cooler head prevail here , baldwin . now , either you back off with this insane revenge that you want against my client , or i 'm going to turn this little bullying session into a publicity nightmare . not just for you and the d.a . 's office , but for mayor floyd , as well . we all know what a media whore our esteemed mayor is , right ? he 's still taking it on the chin because you failed to convict john . you push this , he 's going to boot you out . johnny : that would be worth getting locked up for . scott : let him go , officer . you know , johnny , what i just realized is that i do n't have to get justice for my son because i can see in your eyes the only thing that keeps you tethered to this planet is lulu . and now that she 's crazy , she does n't know who you are . you 're already dead . [ scene_break ] robin : hey . sonny : hey . how you doing ? robin : oh -- sonny : yeah . robin : hey , listen to me . sonny : mm - hmm ? robin : look at me . sonny : mm - hmm . robin : the best possible surgical team is working on kate right now . and patrick is the best choice that you could make for a surgeon . sonny : is that the words of a professional or the woman in love with the baby 's father ? robin : both , probably . you know , no matter how much he annoys me sometimes , i have never doubted his abilities as a surgeon . and being in love with him has given me a front - row seat to see how he does his job , how he makes his decisions . i can honestly say without any hesitation that he is the best doctor that i 've ever had the privilege to know . sonny : you see this right here ? being pregnant and so full of life ? seeing the look in your eyes of pride and love when you talk about the man you love . that gives me hope . because no matter what happens in life -- and it could be as bad as anything -- if life goes on , happiness is a possibility . right ? robin : right . [ scene_break ] carly : thank you . nikolas : hello . carly : hi . well , i was surprised to get your call . and intrigued . you said it was about business . what 's up ? nikolas : it is . i 'm expanding my interests here in port charles and i would love for the metro court to be part of that expansion . carly : this metro court ? nikolas : yes . i 've already spoken to jax . he 's made it very clear to me he 's not interested in selling , but i was hoping you might feel differently . carly : okay . well , before i consider it , i want to know the real reason you 're making this offer . nikolas : i just told you . carly : not all of it . what prompted this sudden desire in acquiring my hotel ? nikolas : well , it 's really only sudden on the surface . see , at night when i 'm thinking back at wyndemere , i like to sit out on my terrace because it has this amazing view of this area . and the metro court is right smack in the middle of it . just setting there like a jewel . and i 've sort of become attached to it . carly : there 's tons of buildings and businesses in this area . businesses you have hands - on experience with . have you ever supervised running a hotel ? nikolas : no , i have n't . carly : hmm . you 're looking for a challenge . or you just want to go up against jax . [ scene_break ] claudia : why are you still here ? ric : why are you still here ? are you waiting for me ? i 'm so flattered . claudia : we need to talk about what just happened . ric : okay . claudia : how much is this little escapade going to cost johnny down the line in terms of trouble ? ric : you could have told me that in your father 's living room with your father present . claudia : okay . maybe there 's another reason why i waited . ric : ah . claudia : i was thinking maybe we could revisit that whole -- you know , reward i promised you . ric : hmm . claudia : you certainly have it coming . not only did you get johnny acquitted , but you just got him released again . ric : well , i 'm even more flattered . sounds like you 're very anxious to pay up . claudia : well , i do n't like to have big debts hanging over my head , and i like to make sure that the people that come through for me get a huge return on their investment . ric : i ca n't tell you -- claudia : what ? ric : i ca n't tell you how much i am looking forward to that , but sadly , it 's going to have to wait , because i 'm not finished yet . claudia : oh , wait a minute -- i 'm sorry . johnny was just released , so your work here is done as far as i can see . why do you want to hang around this crappy joint instead of plying me with alcohol ? ric : i 'm trying to gather some ammunition . there 's no better place to find it . but by all means , you hold that thought . [ scene_break ] sonny : i wonder sometimes if you ever stop being an inspiration to me . robin : what ? sonny : no , really . i mean , just -- you know , i know when you and stone set an example by , you know , handling his diagnosis . i know you were just kids . but i was moved by your courage . the way you -- you know , hey -- you lived life to the fullest . you loved each other . no reservations . that 's what you got to do if you are lucky enough to find love . you ca n't hold back . you got ta say what you feel . you ca n't sit in a room alone and wish you could change what 's already been done . because the only thing we have is this moment right now . and if you do n't take advantage of that , you did n't deserve it in the first place . i just want to tell you because i have n't been able to tell you that i , uh -- you know , just the fact that you 've been able to manage that every day . you have . robin : i do n't know . i -- i do n't know if that 's exactly true . i forget to do that all the time , you know , but i try my best . now that i have patrick and i 'm in love with him , i -- i -- sonny : how 's kate ? did she make it ? [ scene_break ] patrick : hey . how are you doing ? yeah . it 's been a tough day . why do n't you let me take you for a little walk around the water ? robin : yeah , maybe . i have to say something , though . first . patrick : okay . robin : so , i was with sonny today . patrick : yeah ? robin : and he reminded me of something that i should never let myself forget . and that is , time is precious . and so is love . and we should never be so arrogant as to take that for granted . so that is to say that i know i 've been really difficult . and , uh , i 've been clinging to my fear for dear life , wanting to stay in my sterile emotional comfort zone instead of just staying true to the one thing that i know . that i love you . and i know that you love me . and i 'm sorry that i have n't honored that as much as i should have , but i want to change all of that now . i mean , if you let me , i want to spend the rest of my life with you . will you marry me ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : jax and i will never be friends , but that 's personal . this is business . carly : hmm . okay , then maybe it 's this . whenever i lose someone i love and i 'm feeling a little unsettled , i compensate by taking on new challenges . nikolas : so -- so now you 're connecting my desire to own this hotel with emily 's death . that was a long time ago . nearly a year ago . carly : yeah . in the meantime , you built a clinic in her name . nikolas : you may be right . or you may be over - thinking it . the bottom line is , i want to own this hotel . and so far , i have n't heard you say that you 're not willing to sell it . carly : it 's really hard to think about corporate takeover when your collar 's all messed up . nikolas : thank you . carly : there . that 's better . [ scene_break ] sonny : you made it . patrick says you 'll make a full recovery . you did your part . now it 's time to do mine . you know why i walked away from the mob . you know that better than anyone . but it left me vulnerable . even worse , it made you vulnerable . that ca n't happen again . i have to accept that i ca n't run away from the violence . i have become the violence . so i 'm going back . i 'm going to put myself in a position where i strike fear in my enemies ' hearts . and whoever did this to you , whoever hurt you is going to pay an ugly price . no one will ever come after me or mine again .

[ cell phone rings ] that 'd be my mother . she knows something 's wrong . joe jr. : no , hon , it 's not your mom . it 's my son . joe jr. : your son ? how would your son have my cell phone number ? joe jr. : well , you gave it to him . he is your husband , after all . kristina : you 're trey 's father ? [ crying ] kristina : hey , this is kristina . sorry i missed your call . leave a message . [ beeps ] kristina : everyone said that you were a liar and a hustler and you were playing me ! but i knew better . i actually thought you cared . trey : i 'm gon na make it up to you , krissy . i promise . alexis : it seems that your daughter is having it out with her husband . long story short -- she 's not coming . sonny : is that punk giving her a hard time ? alexis : well , she did n't go into details , but i think she 's kind of getting the idea of who this guy really is . sonny : well , she 's coming to her senses . that 's fantastic , right ? it 's great news , no ? alexis : right ? see ? good . an annulment ? would n't that be a great wedding present ? sonny : be the best . now , as long as i can find my wife , i 'd be happy . lulu : she 's , uh -- she 's on her way . she 's just doing some last - minute bride things . alexis : she 'll be here in 20 minutes . carly : hey . johnny : hey . carly : are you okay ? johnny : yeah . i 'm just a -- little tired , maybe . carly : damn it , kate . i ca n't believe she insisted on you being here . johnny : come on . customer 's always right , huh ? carly : no . no , they 're not , and you 're still recuperating . johnny : i 'm fine . and besides , should n't you be taking it easy and -- keeping the peace for your kid 's sake ? carly : yeah , i guess you 're right . sonny insists he loves kate , and who knows ? maybe he does . although , for the life of me , i ca n't understand why . but he was very understanding with all the connie stuff . johnny : can we not talk about connie , please ? carly : are you sure there 's not something else going on ? johnny : i 'm fine . just , you know , a little thirsty . you mind grabbing me a glass of wine ? red . carly : sure . [ chuckles ] okay . soon as they say `` i do , `` we 're out of here . all right ? johnny : if only that were possible . elizabeth : i 'm sorry , jason . this is impossible for me to keep going , and it 's not fair to anyone . jason : i just do n't understand . elizabeth : i know you do n't . i know . this is -- this is really hard . y - you probably do n't understand , but -- i thought that we would have a chance to be together , and -- not that that justifies anything that i did . jason : what ? lie to sam ? elizabeth : well , i lied to you , too , jason . jason : what , about sam and mcbain ? what does that have to do with sam 's baby ? [ cell phone rings ] jason : yeah , spinelli . spinelli : i trust you are on your way ? the nuptials are commencing . jason : i 'm sorry . i 'm trying , but something 's come up . spinelli : something about sam 's baby ? jason : i got to go . okay , go on . elizabeth : the dna test you had me expedite proved -- jason : proves that the baby is not sam 's . elizabeth : when the results -- jason : what ? what , was there a mistake ? what ? elizabeth : there was no mistake . but the results you saw were n't the right ones . love hanging out with my friends . sam : wait . wait . mcbain : okay . what 's wrong ? sam : this . if we do n't stop now , we 're not gon na be able to . mcbain : okay . that 's a problem . sam : yeah . yeah . mcbain : because of , uh -- sam : just -- because . jason : so you think the lab made a mistake on the dna test ? elizabeth : the test results were for a different child , not the little boy téa delgado is raising . jason : another child . so , what ? the lab mixed them up ? elizabeth : no . i changed the results . maxie : do you want another one ? ellie : oh , sure . thanks . maxie : so , um , how long have you and spinelli been dating ? ellie : technically , this is our first date . so good . maxie : oh , yeah , they 're from the noodle buddha . the bride wanted a pan - asian cuisine . ellie : oh , by the way , you did a super job putting this whole wedding together . it 's like elegant and fun at the same time . and your dress ? so cool . damian told me you work in fashion . definitely shows . i , on the other hand , have a closet full of lab coats , and i never really know what to wear . maxie : no , you look really nice . ellie : oh . thanks . it 's probably a good thing he asked me at the last minute so i did n't have time to shop or overthink . maxie : [ chuckles ] spinelli : well , i think the ceremony 's about to begin . shall we take our seats ? ellie : sure . i was just telling maxie how amazing this all looks . spinelli : she is known for her flawless sense of style . ellie : mm . maxie : ca n't even hate her ! she 's too nice . lulu : you worried about your mom ? dante : yeah . she ca n't get over the thought that -- kate is really connie . lulu : well , i can tell you that kate is acting very weird . dante : more than just bridal nerves ? lulu : [ sighs ] i walked in on her with johnny , and they were obviously in the middle of something , but when they saw me , it just felt like they were covering . max : would you stop with the guilty looks already ? milo : i ca n't help it . boss deserves to know ms . howard put the moves on me , and by moves , i mean full contact . max : fine . tell him . just do n't come crawling back to me when you 're dead . milo : ms. howard 's never even looked at me . okay , last night , she had her hands all over me . does n't that sound like a different person ? max : like a mental aberration ? you 're gon na break this news to the boss on his wedding day ? milo : if the boss knows that i knew something and did n't tell him , then who 's the dead man ? max : look , even if it 's true -- milo : i 'm telling you , she had her tongue down my throat , she was all grabbing me here -- max : stop . listen . and when she calls you a lying piece of garbage , who 's the boss gon na believe ? even if ms . howard did turn into connie , the boss is gon na figure it out eventually . just do your job and make sure scully does n't get anywhere near here . starr : hey , trey . trey : hey . michael : where 's kristina ? trey : what , kristina is n't here ? kristina : so you 're him ? joe scully jr. ? joe jr. : ta - da . trey tell you ? yeah . you know , i love my boy , but he needs to toughen up . he should know better than to spill his guts to sonny 's daughter . kristina : you hate my father . joe jr. : i do , indeed . sonny deserves to be hated and a hell of a lot worse . kristina : you obviously have a history with kate , if she really is trey 's mother . joe jr. : oh , she 's his mother , all right , not that she ever gave a damn about trey . can you imagine ? connie left her own kid for dead . kristina : i know kate . she would never do anything so cruel . joe jr. : [ chuckles ] well , i 'd tell you to ask her sometime , but , you know that 's probably -- kristina : you 're a liar , just like your son ! so whatever you 're planning , it 's over ! 'cause i 'm annulling this marriage the first chance that i get ! trey : i thought kristina was headed here . starr : she was supposed to come with you . trey : we had a fight . kristina walked out on me . michael : mm . well , i knew she 'd see through you eventually . trey : you know what ? i just want to find her so i can explain . michael : explain what , exactly , trey ? trey : that 's between me and kristina . alexis : the bride is gon na get here when the bride is good and ready . you know that . you 've been married 500 times already , so -- sonny : but this is not about me being a nervous groom -- alexis : yeah , it is . you 're nervous . i can tell you 're nervous . sonny : alexis , i want to make kate my wife because i want her to know that she 's safe , especially after i tell her that her son is a liar and his name 's trey mitchell . alexis : are you gon na make time for a honeymoon , at least ? sonny : i want to say i have a lot of time for a honeymoon . i want us to be really happy . but i think she 's gon na have to find out about trey eventually , and i think the shock of that may send her into a relapse . so that 's why i want to get married -- so she knows that her husband is by her side . judge newcomb : i 'm sorry . i have another function to attend in an hour . we really need to get started . sonny : okay , we 're gon na get her . alexis : okay . maxie : oh ! oh ! sonny : oh , no . i 'm sorry . uh -- okay . stop doing this . maxie : i was just passing out hors d'oeuvres . do you guys want a scallion dumpling ? sonny : okay . you need to get kate now . we got to start this now . maxie : oh , yeah ! here ! oh , no . okay . michael : no , kristina was very excited about this wedding . it meant a lot to her that her father confided in her first , so the fact that she 's not here , you must have really upset her , trey . trey : look , i just assumed she headed here , okay ? i do n't know . maybe she went to her mom 's house . i 'm gon na go find her . michael : no , you 're not going anywhere . you 've done enough . trey : really ? you want to start another fist fight , trash this wedding , too ? starr : look , trey is kristina 's husband . if he wants to go look for her , he has the right . trey : thank you for understanding . i just hope i have n't pushed her away for good . starr : it 's okay . connie : watch it . trey : sorry . connie : you 're not excused . maxie : oh ! wow ! you look great . i love the dress you picked . connie : yeah , considering the number of options you gave me . maxie : okay . well , everyone 's seated , the judge is in place , sonny 's in place . now it 's just time for the main event ! connie : certainly is . maxie : everyone -- can i have your attention , please ? ! let 's all take our seats . the wedding is about to start . we need the bridal party . oh ! music ! [ wagner 's `` bridal chorus `` plays ] judge newcomb : please be seated . friends , family , we are here today to celebrate the marriage of michael and constanza , known to most of us as sonny and kate . [ laughter ] judge newcomb : today , they will formally and publicly make their promises to one another . and while this is , indeed , a special moment , marriage is just the beginning of the journey , not the end . jason : you deliberately gave me the wrong results ? elizabeth : i 'm sorry . i completely betrayed your trust . jason : do you have the real results ? elizabeth : you were right . the baby that died the night of the storm was n't sam 's . sam 's child is still alive . sam : i just ended my marriage yesterday . you just found out that your relationship is over . we 're hurt and angry . mcbain : and these are the wrong reasons to turn to each other . sam : just , i feel like if this is where we 're headed , this is the connection that we 've had and it 's where it 's leading us , then -- it 's not going anywhere , right ? mcbain : last thing i want to do is complicate your life , sam , 'cause you any more pain than you 've already been through . [ knock on door ] trey : kristina ! kristina : my father 's gon na squash you like the cockroach that you are . joe jr. : attagirl ! i see you 've also got sonny 's way with words . kristina : you better hope my dad 's men do n't find you ! what were you thinking , bringing me to his warehouse ? joe jr. : well , let 's just call it -- poetic justice . kristina : if you want a prayer of living , you 'd start running now ! i might just put in a good word for you . joe jr. : really ? kristina : tell my dad you chickened out and took off ! joe jr. : really ? i chickened out ? hey , do you realize that your father had me tied up right here ? he would have killed me if that cop john mcbain had n't stopped him . big mistake . leaving me alive to come after you . kristina : you wo n't live long if you keep this up . my dad will have -- joe jr. : why do n't you stop talking ? ! they 'll all be at the wedding ! this 'll all be over before connie and sonny say `` i do `` ! judge newcomb : it 's been my privilege to preside over many unions , and i 've observed that while love does n't necessarily conquer all , commitment does . the choice to be together , to work it through , and make it meaningful -- that 's what counts . marriage requires trust . it requires patience -- constant open and honest communication . and above all , marriage requires faith -- the faith to go forward without knowing what the future holds . and it requires the support of friends and family . now it 's my responsibility to ask if there 's anyone here who knows of any reason this couple should not be joined in marriage , speak now or forever hold your peace . judge newcomb : no one has any objections ? very well , then . we will proceed with the ceremony . olivia : wait ! wait . i got something to say , your honor . jason : sam 's baby is alive . elizabeth : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry , jason . i could n't sleep last night -- knowing what i had done . i needed to tell you the truth . jason : i just do n't understand . why did you lie in the first place ? elizabeth : does it even matter ? jason : yeah , it does matter . i need to know why you lied . elizabeth : when i picked up the test results and i saw that the baby was sam 's -- i thought about that other mom . and i thought , that mom had had sam 's baby for four months -- for four months , raising that child and loving that baby . and i know it 's wrong , but it 's sad . she does n't deserve to have that child taken away from her . jason : but he is n't hers . elizabeth : and i did n't deserve to have my child taken away from me , either ! but sam watched -- sam watched -- while jake was being kidnapped . she watched -- and let you and me and lucky lose our minds with grief and anger and pain . and she knew the whole time and she did n't say a word about where jake was ! jason : so what -- what is this ? payback ? elizabeth : no ! i do n't know ! i do n't know ! [ crying ] maybe . i do n't know . i 'm trying really hard , jason , to put it behind me . i 've tried really hard . but i 'll tell you this -- if it had n't been for what sam did , you know , jake 's life would have turned out differently , right ? well -- that was one part of it . jason : what was -- what was the other part ? elizabeth : i do n't want you with her . i just did n't want this baby bringing you back together ! after everything we have been through -- why could n't we have a chance ? jason : i do n't -- i do n't know what you want me to say . elizabeth : nothing . [ sniffles ] i do n't want you to say anything . uh -- i 've realized that i 've -- slowly been losing my mind . ever since -- ever since we lost jake , i -- i 've been trying to recover on my own . you know , trying to , like -- time heal . but it 's only gotten worse , and so i really thought -- i thought that you -- you would make it better -- that you would fix it . that 's not fair of me -- to ask that of you . jason : elizabeth . elizabeth : jason , i am so sorry . i am so sorry that i had -- ruined everything -- that we had , and i -- i 've -- i 've burned it all down . jason : i know what it 's like -- to , uh -- to make a terrible mistake . at least you were able to make it right . elizabeth : and i will . i will once sam 's baby is back with her , and i 'll tell her everything . jason : no , i do n't want you to say anything . um , i just -- i need to figure out the best way to handle this now . elizabeth : do me a favor , jason . [ sniffles ] when you see that mother -- just be kind . you know what it 's like to lose a child . trey : is kristina here ? sam : i thought she was at sonny 's wedding with you . trey : we had a fight . she 's not answering her phone . can i just leave her a note in case she comes back ? sam : yeah . sure . paper and pen on the table . whoa . it has been a strange day . mcbain : very . sam : but not all bad . mcbain : not all bad . see you around , sam . [ breathes deeply ] [ cell phone rings ] mcbain : yeah . jason : i need to see you . it 's important . trey : can you just give this to kristina , please ? i 'm assuming she 'll be here at some point tonight . kristina : you took the wrong hostage . and if you have n't figured it out yet , i can be a real bitch . another hour or so , you 'll be begging for me to turn you in . joe jr. : that i believe ! you got a smart mouth ! a lot of fire . i can see why trey fell for you . kristina : just get this over with . just make the call . joe jr. : what call ? kristina : to my father for the ransom . joe jr. : who said anything about a ransom ? kristina : you did . joe jr. : no , no . honey , that was your idea . kr . : oh , no . i want your money and everything else that everything that sonny stole from me , i want it back ! and i 'll get it . as soon as you 're dead . sonny : olivia , you got something to say , say it . olivia : yeah ! steve : olivia has n't been well ! olivia : as i was saying , um -- kate -- kate is -- such a lucky girl , and she 's really come full circle -- marrying sonny -- the very first boy she ever loved -- back when she as connie from the neighborhood . and i wish her all the happiness in the world . sonny : your honor , can we just -- judge newcomb : of course . sonny : -- get on with it ? judge newcomb : as there are no objections , we will continue . milo : wait ! do you want to put the doggy inside ? sonny : milo . do you -- do you have an objection with me marrying kate ? max : no . milo just got caught up in the spirit of the occasion . i know that he wanted to wish you and the future mrs. c many joyous returns of this day . um , you 're very deserving of all the happiness . thank you for letting me speak . sonny : no , it 's fine . uh -- okay , i 'm glad that , you know , you 're all happy for me , but this is a wedding . it 's not a free - for - all , so can we just -- can we just get her going , there ? judge newcomb : mr. corinthos , i certainly understand your eagerness to marry this beautiful woman , but given all these interruptions , i 'm required to ask one last time . sonny : [ chuckles ] judge newcomb : does anyone here object to this union ? trey : kristina . [ keys rattling ] trey : kristina ? kristina ! joe jr. : if we want to bring down the king -- you 've got to marry the princess . this girl is our way in . you know , whatever kind of marriage you two kids have is fine by me . just as long as you stay married . trey : oh , dad , what have you done ? kristina : you 're gon na kill me ? joe jr. : the nice thing about sonny 's line of work is he 's got plenty of enemies . in fact , i heard that one of them gunned down his son . you know , that cop you mentioned ? right here in this warehouse , on the very same day , there was a mob wedding this time last year . this 'll just be more of the same , only fatal this time . kristina : fatal for you . joe jr. : no , honey . [ laughs ] they 'll probably blame the soleitos or the trujillos or whatever 's left of the zacchara family . they 'll never even think to pin it on me . kristina : you wo n't get your ransom if i 'm dead . joe jr. : a ransom -- would n't put a dent in what i 'm owed . i want much , much more . kristina : what makes you think you 'll get it by killing me ? joe jr. : you have a husband . when you die , trey inherits everything . mcbain : hey . what 's this about ? jason : sam 's baby . mcbain : thought that was settled . jason : there was a mistake . i was given the wrong results . mcbain : given the wrong results ? what does that mean ? jason : dna 's a match . sam 's baby did n't die the night of the storm . he 's alive , and he 's living with your friend téa . [ knock on door ] elizabeth : hi . sam : what do you want ? elizabeth : i need to talk to you . sam : maybe you can do that another time . i 've actually had a really long day . elizabeth : this ca n't wait . you deserve to know the truth . sonny : there will not be any more delays , your honor . correct ? my bride and i , we 're ready to say our vows . judge newcomb : very well . we 've reached the heart of the ceremony . and as no one here present has any objection -- connie : i have an objection . sonny : what are you doing ? connie : i have to say this for both our sakes . i ca n't marry you , sonny . carly : as if she has n't had enough drama . alexis : this does n't bode well . maxie : this is not my fault . this is not my fault . sonny : kate , what are you doing ? connie : the judge asked if there were any objections . i have to be truthful . sonny : your honor , i 'm gon na take my bride - to - be . we 're gon na talk privately . connie : i want everyone to hear this , sonny . sonny : kate , what -- connie : i ca n't marry you . sonny : what -- are you okay ? do you want to talk to me ? connie : there 's nothing more to say . sonny : kate , you drop a bombshell on me . you tell me there 's nothing more to say ? connie : sonny , i can not marry you -- because i 'm already married . elizabeth : i need to tell you the truth about me and jason . sam : i already know the truth . i heard you the other night with lulu . jason ca n't wait for a divorce . he 's already moved on with you . elizabeth : what you overheard was a lie . sam : [ scoffs ] a lie ? what the hell is that supposed to mean ? elizabeth : i knew you were listening . i wanted you to believe that jason and i were together . but we 're not . sam : look , elizabeth , i do n't understand what you 're doing right now . i do n't know if you feel guilty because you were putting moves on a man who was all married and you did n't want anyone to know , but i saw you kissing him . and it was quite a private party you threw . elizabeth : yes . we kissed . and then he pulled away -- and told me that we will never have a future . jason and i will never be together , which means , divorced or not -- he still belongs to you . mcbain : how confident are you in these results ? look , we do n't want to put anything in motion if there 's any doubt . téa does n't deserve that , and sam does n't deserve that . jason : call the lab if you want . the baby in llanview is a dna match . sam 's son is alive . mcbain : then we got a problem . jason : there 's téa . [ sighs ] mcbain : man , this is gon na hurt . she loves that little boy . jason : i just want sam to have her son back . trey : dad ! dad ! where the hell could he have taken kristina ? kristina : you do n't want to do this . it 's only gon na make things worse for you . joe jr. : i 'm sorry , kristina . i wish there was some other way , but your father did n't leave me any choice . kristina : call -- call trey . just let me speak to him . joe jr. : yeah , no , you know , i think it 's best to leave trey out of this . the less he knows , the better . kristina : he 'll hate you . joe jr. : he 'll never know . see , that 's how it is with parents and children -- you do the dirty work so your kids wo n't have to . kristina : you wo n't be able to cover this up . he will find out , and it will destroy him . joe jr. : actually , this will make trey 's life -- and mine . i 'm sorry that you have to die . the payoff is too good to resist . you understand . finally , sonny loses , and i win . sonny : whatever 's going on here , we 'll fix it . connie : there 's nothing to fix . your honor , if i marry sonny , i 'm committing bigamy . is n't that right ? judge newcomb : if you are indeed already married , yes . sonny : you 're not married . connie : i am . to him .

[ cell phone rings ] ava : carly ? morgan : i definitely do n't need to hear more of her yelling . i 'm sorry about my mom . she can get really crazy . ava : well , i have to admit , once you stopped her from doing me bodily harm , i found carly 's reaction rather entertaining . morgan : yeah . well , my mom reading us the riot act did n't hold a candle to how michael and kiki took the news . kiki : i just ca n't get the image of morgan and my mom in bed out of my head . michael : yeah . uh , morgan 's done some pretty dumb things in his life . i just never thought he 'd go this far . kiki : morgan ? what about my mother ? she 's my mom . she says how much she loves me , how much she cares about me , but all she ever does is disappoint me . michael : well , you know , at least you know now , you know , before you moved in with her . kiki : now i 'm back to square one . i have to find a place to live , and -- i guess i could call silas . he is biologically and technically my father , but i do n't feel very comfortable with him . i have n't even gone out to lunch with him , and i 'm just gon na ask him to move in ? michael : it would be a bit of a leap . kiki : there 's one person i could ask . michael : who ? kiki : franco . carly : morgan stone corinthos , you call me back right now ! franco : carly , relax . he 's probably just at a movie . carly : it rang once , which means he hit `` ignore `` because he does n't want to talk to me right now . franco : he 's a boy . he 'll come around . right ? he just needs time . carly : what are you doing ? franco : i 'm trying to make you feel better . carly : i do n't want you to make me feel better ! i do n't want you to touch me . i want you guys to get him out of here . franco : okay . what are you doing ? what -- carly : if i ca n't throw ava out , then i can get the satisfaction of kicking you to the curb . maxie : i ca n't think about what comes next . i 'm too freaked out about what just happened . i do n't even know this guy brad ! spinelli : consider yourself lucky . maxie : after everything we did to keep this a secret , some random guy overhears us talking about how dante and lulu 's baby is really ours and that 's how the secret blows up ? ! how could we have been so reckless ? ! spinelli : perhaps our recklessness was believing we could ever pull this off in the first place . maxie : we could have , and we would have all been happy ! spinelli : even you ? maxie : i ca n't believe that i am so far off my game . under normal circumstances , i could have beaten brad with one hand tied behind my back . i mean , come on . honestly , who 's the more convincing liar -- him or me ? the first rule of lying is when you get caught , you deny , deny , deny and you keep denying . and it 's not like you did n't give me anything to work with . you were saying that that guy brad was a sleaze , and he did n't even have any proof ! spinelli : i think all the proof dante and lulu needed was written on our faces . maxie : your face , spinelli ... because you are a genuinely honest person . and you had -- you had a completely normal reaction . if you were just some normal godfather who was standing there and some random lab tech burst in , claiming you were the father , that would have been your natural reaction . you should have run with that ! spinelli : i think we had reached a juncture where denials were pointless , maxie . maxie : no . this is obviously my fault . this is the biggest lie that i have ever told , and it blew up in the worst way possible . but when lulu looked me in the eye and asked me -- spinelli : admitted the truth . maxie : and now i have lost my best friend . lulu : that 's better . you just needed to see me . yeah , you just needed your mom . olivia : how is that even possible ? we all know that maxie was implanted with your embryo . i took her to half of her doctor 's appointments . if the procedure did n't work , we all would have known . dante : it did work , ma . maxi was -- she was carrying our child . olivia : sweetheart , i 'm sorry . i do n't understand . if maxie was carrying your child , then what happened ? lulu : she tripped over a dog on -- on new year 's . olivia : we all know that , but the baby was fine . dante : no , the baby was n't fine . maxie , uh -- she miscarried . that night , our -- our -- our baby died . lulu : [ crying ] could you just give me one -- one -- one -- thank you -- one second ? can , um -- can we talk about this for a second ? carly : there 's nothing to talk about . i mean , the charity 's over , franco -- no money , no room . i 'm done . franco : but i have the money . carly : do you ? franco : well , yeah . there 's a lot of stuff that i 've been working on in my room , and it 's kind of coming together , and -- and -- and -- okay . no one in this world , least of all you , ever has to give me the benefit of the doubt . but if you would just follow me , i 'll show you myself . come on . come on . what do you say ? come on back to my place . olivia : i do n't even know what to say . dante : [ sighs ] we were there that night , too . checked on her . she could have told us everything . instead , she told us that she and the baby were fine . lulu : never mind that she 'd already been knocked up by the jackal . olivia : [ gasps ] the jackal ? oh , my god ! that 's spinelli 's nickname ! dante : so what ? what are you talking about ? olivia : but that 's the thing ! the wolfy thing that i 've been seeing -- it 's not a dog ! and -- and maxie stabbing lulu in the back -- dante : okay , stop , ma . olivia : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to be insensitive . lulu : olivia , it 's fine . your vision was right on . maxie stabbed me in the back -- just not literally . spinelli : i do n't like what you did , maxie ... to dante and lulu or me , but -- maxie : lulu believed me . she trusted me . and i broke her heart worse than anyone ever has . and i brought you into it . so , you might have lost her , too . your first instinct was right about me , spinelli . i am bad news . spinelli : you 're not bad , maxie . you 're not malicious , and ... i - i truly do n't think you 're selfish , but ... but you are tragically misguided . maxie : [ chuckles ] i 'll give you the `` tragic `` part , but misguided ? no . no , lying about this baby was just wrong , and i screwed it up pretty bad . spinelli : you thought you were doing what was best , however warped that thinking might seem to me . maxie : all i wanted was to give dante and lulu the baby that they wanted . instead , i just ended up taking one away from them . carly : where 's the money ? franco : what are you talking about ? it 's right here . carly : uh - huh . i do n't -- franco : i 've been working all night . i 've got enough for a whole show . carly : okay , the metro court does n't take canvas as currency . franco : [ chuckles ] that 's funny . nah , this is not for you . i have a friend coming -- an old associate . he should be here any minute -- mr. sebastian leeds . carly : hmm . i 've heard of that guy . is n't he some big , high - profile art dealer from the city ? franco : yes , and he 's my biggest fan . he 's really the first person that ever paid attention to my art . he called me the most influential street artist of the 21st century , so he knows what he 's talking about . so , he 'll show these to all his buddies , and you 'll get your money back . carly : he has n't seen these yet , huh ? franco : no . carly : well , you better start packing . franco : why ? carly : you 're not gon na get a dime for this . franco : what are you talking about ? why not ? carly : because all this art ... franco : yeah ? carly : ... sucks . michael : what , you 're thinking of staying with franco ? kiki : it 's not like i have a lot of options here . michael : okay , look -- i realize the charges against him were dropped , and , from a legal standpoint , the tumor means that he 's not responsible for what he did . okay . but that does n't mean that he 's stable or sane or anything . kiki : look , i was n't crazy about him at first , either , okay ? but when i got to know him , i started to care about him . he feels more like a father to me than silas does , and he still considers me to be family . michael : he 's not your family , kiki . you 're not staying with a serial killer . come on . kiki : and where do you want me to stay , michael -- in a tent on the docks ? michael : no . you 're gon na stay here with me . ava : kiki was furious ... saying i 'm the worst mother in the world . i 've never seen her so angry . morgan : [ scoffs ] so ? too bad for her . she 's the one that left me for my brother . i mean , she gave me crap about keeping your lie about her father from her , but what about all the lies that she told me -- that she loved me , that she was n't into mikey ? okay , kiki deserves whatever she gets . she 's nothing but a lying bitch who will just sleep with anyone that comes -- ava : hey ! morgan : whoa . ava : do n't you dare talk that way about my daughter . keeping a secret about this baby when she found out that it was yours and mine . she wanted to tell you . instead , i destroyed your relationship to keep the secret going . spinelli : you may have pressured ellie , but she ultimately made her own decision ... as did i . even after looking at connie 's beautiful face , knowing that she 's my daughter , i said nothing . maxie : [ sighs ] i guess it does n't matter [ sniffles ] who lied , who blackmailed who . [ sniffles ] all the hoops we jumped through , dante and lulu know the truth . spinelli : and now that they do ... i ca n't imagine they 'll want to raise a child that is n't theirs . lulu : you were right all along , dante . maxie is a selfish bitch who should n't have been trusted with this responsibility . olivia : here , sweetie . lulu : i should have seen it . i should have known . dante : stop , okay ? we did n't do anything wrong . we just have to figure out how to handle this . lulu : there 's nothing to handle . nothing 's changed . if maxie and spinelli think that they 're taking connie away from us , they have another think coming . kiki : thank you , but i am still technically married to your brother , and your parents will hate me if i move in with you right now . michael : okay , we just walked in on morgan having sex with your mom . i do n't think that we 're the ones my family 's gon na be talking about . kiki : very true . michael : [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] i know you 're on overload right now . your life just exploded in the past 24 hours , and i - i -- i do n't want to take advantage or make things worse . kiki : michael , are you kidding me ? you 're the only thing that has kept me sane through all this . michael : okay . so , there 's no chance you 're gon na take a train back to the city or bail on port charles altogether , right ? kiki : no . no , there 's no chance . michael : okay . so , then you 're gon na need a place to live -- here , right ? and i happen to have a place to live ... here . kiki : of course , and now we 're going around in circles . michael : okay , maybe i 'm not seeing this clearly because it 's something that i want so much . but you said that your marriage to morgan is over . kiki : it is . michael : and we both agreed that we -- that we love each other . kiki : yes , we have . michael : okay . so , why do n't we stop worrying about how our actions are going to affect everyone else and start worrying about us -- do what we want ? having you here -- it feels right . it feels right to me . kiki : me , too . michael : okay . then stay -- stay here with me . kiki : okay . michael : okay . kiki : okay . morgan : all right . okay ! easy ! that 's where the dominator broke my wrist ! ava : that 's nothing compared to what i 'll do to you if you say one more word about kiki . do you understand ? morgan : yes ! yes ! ava : good . now apologize . morgan : okay ! i 'm sorry ! [ groans ] [ groans ] is it wrong that turned me on a little bit ? ava : [ sighs ] shut up . morgan : okay . ava : i know you have issues with kiki . but she 's my daughter , and i love her . morgan : do you not get it ? i love her , too , all right ? that 's why this hurts . but , yes , i 'll drop it . ava : good . morgan : okay . well , now that that 's settled , why do n't we order a little food ? ava : wh - what ? morgan : what ? i mean , we 've had a pretty intense day . i need something to eat before we go to bed , whether we sleep or not . ava : uh , morgan , you are absolutely not staying here . morgan : why not ? ava : why not ? well , you 're married to my daughter , for starters ! morgan : okay . not for long , though . ava : you may be through with kiki , but i still want a relationship with her , and that is not gon na happen if i 'm shacked up with you . go home ! morgan : last time i checked , i do n't have one . franco : what are you talking about ? i 'm franco . i do n't suck . carly : okay , franco . you may not suck , but this does . franco : really ? carly : yes . franco : oh , come on ! what , like you 're some kind of an expert in the gallery scene ? you probably like paintings of animals with big , sad eyes . carly : i may not know art , but i know ugly . that 's ugly . franco : huh . [ knock on door ] franco : well , are n't you gon na be embarrassed , then , when sebastian hands me a great big check ? seba . sebastian : franco . my favorite iconoclast . how are you ? franco : oh , i 'm great . i 'm -- i 'm great . come on in . it is so nice of you to come up here and visit me in this two - bit burg . sebastian : nice ? i could n't miss the return of one of the 21st century 's most influential street artists . franco : aw , shucks . sebastian : especially now that that killing - spree unpleasantness is behind you . franco : spree ? why does everybody call it a spree ? oh , i 'm so sorry . carly : mm . franco : sebastian , this is carly jacks , who knows nothing about art . carly , this is sebastian , who knows everything about art . sebastian : charmed . carly : my pleasure . sebastian : right . now let 's get to it . show me the magic . franco : you got it . feast your eyes ... on that . sebastian : interesting . franco : i - i 've got others . um ... here . sebastian : [ clears throat ] franco : this is social commentary . it 's how we 're all being consumed by consumerism . i think it 's -- i think it 's powerful . and that rube over there -- she says these are ugly . sebastian : rube or not , your lady friend is quite right . [ chuckles ] they 're as ugly as sin . take a look at this , 'cause i do n't think you 're getting it . sebastian : [ sighs ] i 'm getting it . it 's just -- it 's not impressive . carly : told you so . franco : smug is not a pretty color on anyone . what 's wrong with them ? well , what 's wrong with any of them , for that matter ? sebastian : there 's no edge . there 's no danger , no sense of torment or loneliness . look , i 'm sorry , franco . i - i simply ca n't put my reputation behind a show of ... these . good luck in your endeavors , and i 'm sure there 's a local community college looking for instructors . franco : [ gasps ] carly : no sale ? pack your bags . you do n't get to stay here any longer . sebastian : wait a minute . now , this -- this i could work with . kiki : michael ... [ breathing heavily ] are you sure you want me to move in with you ? 'cause we have n't even ... you know , uh , been ... together yet . michael : yeah . i 'm sure . look , we do n't [ clears throat ] have to , uh , sleep together , you know , if you 're not ready , if you still feel guilty about morgan or anything . we could just -- we can be roommates . kiki : is that what you want ? michael : [ sighs , chuckles ] i think you know how bad i want you , kiki . it 's been months of fighting myself , and knowing you ... want something that you ca n't have , owing how much it would hurt you , hating myself for it -- kiki : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so -- i did n't help . i would lean on you , and then i would pull away . michael : no , it helped . it honestly helped . it -- [ sighs ] it was nice knowing you had feelings for me , too , even though we could n't act on it . kiki : and now we can . michael : we 're free to be together . kiki : mm - hmm . michael : tonight ... or tomorrow or -- or -- or three months from now . kiki : you want to wait three months ? michael : i do n't -- i do n't want to wait three seconds . [ chuckles ] but i will as long as it takes for you to feel ... okay with this , for you to choose me with no regrets . but , you know , for right now , i guess i 'll stay on the couch , and you can take the bedroom . kiki : you hate sleeping on this couch . michael : it 's not that bad . i mean , after a 5-mile run and a cold shower , i might be okay . it 's -- it 's worth it to have you stay here . kiki : how 'bout we skip the run ? and the shower . michael : okay . kiki : hey , you . you have more to lose here than i do , michael . i 'm the outsider . your whole family could get torn apart because of me . michael : look , i know we 're gon na be facing a lot of obstacles . but we 're gon na figure them out ... together . kiki : i love you . and i want to show you how much . michael : i love you . ava : morgan , do n't be ridiculous . of course you still have a home and a family that loves you . morgan : who -- mikey ? 'cause he stole my wife . and my mom -- she 's gon na take michael and josslyn 's side over me in a heartbeat . okay , dante -- i mean , he 's so busy with his own family that i 've barely seen him at all since i 've been in town . and besides , him and michael are close . he 's not gon na take my side . ava : but there do n't have to be sides . morgan : oh , come on , ava . you know better . i mean , you saw everything . everyone chooses michael over me , especially my dad . he betrayed me and he humiliated me in front of almost everyone that i know . ava : i 'm sure that he regrets -- morgan : i do n't care what he regrets ! i do n't want to hear -- i do n't want to hear explanations about how it 's for my own good . i do n't believe that . i do n't believe him . you 're the only person i have left . are you really gon na put me out on the street ? dante : [ crying ] hey . how can they tell us this sweet little baby is n't ours ? [ sniffles ] i 'm already in love with you . olivia : i know . dante : [ crying ] lu does n't think anything 's gon na change . olivia : do you ? dante : i do n't know , ma . olivia : honey , what maxie did was horrible . dante : [ sighs ] olivia : it 's about the cruelest thing that a person could do to another person , let alone a best friend . but that does n't change the truth . connie is her baby . it 's hers and spinelli 's . does lulu really think that she could keep a baby that does n't belong to her ? maxie : you do n't think dante and lulu want the baby now ? spinelli : i 'm not -- i 'm not saying that . i mean , i do n't know anything for sure . but the life they planned was with a child that they thought belonged to them , not to us . maxie : she does n't belong to us . we decided that . spinelli : yeah , we decided that for dante and lulu , but now they know everything . things may change for them and mostly for us . maxie : what are you saying -- that we raise this baby ? because we felt we had no other choice . it was the only way to keep dante and lulu from being irreparably hurt . maxie : and now that we know they already hate us , we just give them a reason to hate us more ? spinelli : that 's not what i 'm saying . what we were trying to accomplish failed . look , i 'm not -- i 'm not sure what we 're supposed to feel or what we 're supposed to do now , but all i know is that sitting through that christening was one of the hardest things i 've ever had to do in my life , promising god and dante and lulu to watch over connie as her godfather ? it took every ounce of me not to scream out , `` no ! no ! i ca n't promise that , because that girl is my daughter ! `` maxie : [ sighs ] i felt the same way . dante : we spent nine months ... thinking this little baby was ours . how could anyone say she 's not ? olivia : what maxie did was horrible . it 's unfair . and she should n't have done it . but , honey , that does n't make connie your child . i 'm just afraid the longer you love this baby as your own , the worse your pain is gon na be . dante : i do n't know , ma . what -- olivia : oh , honey , i wish -- i wish i could take your pain away . oh , i do . i hope you know that i support you and lulu no matter what . dante : yeah . i know . thanks . talk to your wife . you need some time alone to figure out what to do . dante : [ sighs ] [ both sigh ] dante : okay . hey . olivia : okay . call me ... dante : yeah . olivia : ... if you need anything -- anything . dante : yeah . thanks , ma . love you . olivia : love you , too . dante : hey . what are you -- what are you doing ? [ crying ] [ sighs ] lulu : [ crying ] franco : this is not even for sale , not that anybody would buy it . sebastian : i should have realized you were up to something . you purposely hid that in a sea of crap -- a diamond in the rough , a performance piece within a brokered sale . you give me 20 , 30 more of these , we 'll be in business , my friend . i 'll be in touch . franco : well , crap ! carly : what is your problem ? you made the sale ! all you have to do is paint more of ... that .

[ chuckles ] franco : oh , thanks , carly . carly : good luck . franco : yeah . i 'm gon na need it . [ cell phone rings ] ava : i ca n't believe we just did that -- again . morgan : i can . you 're amazing . and , after all , you ca n't tell me that it did n't make you feel a little better . let me stay . what 's the point of us both being alone and miserable ? let 's just feel better together . ava : how long do you really think we could keep this up ? morgan : till it stops hurting . morgan : hey . you 've reached morgan . you know what to do .

[ connie babbles ] lulu : [ laughs ] maxie : when i was pregnant , i had no idea what it would be like to look at my daughter , but ... when i look at her , it 's like she really sees me , you know -- like she knows that i belong to her . spinelli : i 've only allowed myself to see her a few times , but ... each time has been a powerful experience . she 's a miracle , maxie -- a miracle that we created . i love her . maxie : me , too . spinelli : yeah . i ca n't help it . and if i could , if this were an ideal situation , yes , i would want to be the one raising her . maxie : we ca n't do that . can we ? franco : a diamond in the rough , huh ? this is my ticket back to the art world ?

dante and lulu tell olivia that brad was telling the truth when he said connie is maxie and spinelli 's child . when dante tells her the details , she says it explains her visions about maxie stabbing lulu in the back and the wild animal she saw must have been a jackal spinelli 's nickname . spinelli asks maxie what they are going to do now . maxie says she ca n't think about that right now because all she can think about is losing her best friend because of her enormous lie . she says she destroyed spinelli 's relationship with ellie , too , by forcing her to keep the secret about the baby . spinelli says maxie may have pressured ellie , but ellie made her own decision just as he did . he says he ca n't imagine that dante and lulu will want to raise a baby that is n't theirs , now that they know the truth . she asks him if he thinks dante and lulu wo n't want connie anymore and if is suggesting that they raise the baby . spinelli says he loves connie and in an ideal situation he would want to raise her . lulu tells dante that if maxie and spinelli think she is going to give up connie , they are mistaken . olivia tells dante that lulu has to understand that she ca n't keep a baby that does n't belong to her . lulu refuses to give connie up .

[ monitor beeping ] sam : danny . danny , what are you doing ? danny : [ laughs ] sam : hey . come on , kiddo . you got to let go of this man 's hand , because he 's -- he 's actually sleeping . he 's taking a nap . he 's trying to get some rest . you know when you take a nap and you feel better when you wake up ? that 's what he 's doing . danny : he got an owie . sam : i know . he has an owie , so come on . let 's go . danny : no . sam : honey . danny : [ mumbles ] sam : no , i 'm not playing around . we have to go . danny : no ! sam : hey . okay , big guy . what 's the story ? why wo n't you let this man 's hand go ? sabrina : sam all right ? patrick : yeah , no , she 's -- she 's fine . she just had to bring danny in for a checkup , and he 's kind of at that age where he 's a little hard to wrangle , so i 'm just giving her a hand . i think she 's in icu right now . sabrina : wait . they moved danny to the icu ? did dr. clay find out that he -- patrick : no , no , danny 's -- danny 's fine . sabrina : oh ! patrick : i was in icu . sam was there looking for me . i was actually helping out elizabeth with a patient . because obrecht 's not here , i kind of snuck in to give her a hand . sabrina : hmm . which patient ? patrick : john doe . sabrina : oh , the guy from the accident . yeah , no , i was here the day that he was brought in . he was in really bad shape . patrick : yeah . sabrina : were you able to help ? patrick : well , not really . he 's still unconscious , and since i 'm still the , uh , physician non grata , i was only able to look at his scans . sabrina : how 'd they look ? patrick : hard to tell as of right now . um , his cerebral edema has gone down considerably , but whether he 's able to wake up with full brain function is anybody 's guess . i did see something a little bit interesting on his scans , though . it turns out that this is n't john doe 's first rodeo . he 's had brain surgery before . dante : look , patrick has to find out if your father 's responsible for that accident . it 's my job to investigate this whole thing . the best way for all of these to happen is for us to be at this meeting tracy set up . lulu : yeah . i understand what 's driving patrick . he lost a child . we had a taste of that sorrow when we had to give up our baby girl . and it 's like the worst pain in the world . dante : yeah , it is . lulu : someone told rafe to drive patrick 's car off the road to deliberately hurt him and his family . i 've been thinking about it constantly , and it 's impossible for me to believe that that person was my father . it does n't make any sense . neither does the idea that my dad is somehow plotting against yours ? sonny : someone tried to kill you , michael , and you wound up killing him . you think that 's easy to go through ? michael : it 's been handled . and we all agreed that it never happened , so life -- life goes on . sonny : you do n't think they 're not gon na try again ? that 's exactly why i 've decided to send you away . kiki : maxie was here ? please tell me she did n't find my mom . morgan : no , no , i do n't think she would have scarfed the food down if she knew it was for a pregnant woman . she thought it was for you . kiki : all right , well , then what was she doing here ? was she protesting the wainscoting and the light fixtures ? morgan : no , actually , she was here to apologize for doing that to us . kiki : surprising and extremely random . morgan : yeah , well , it gets better . after she was done apologizing , i somehow ended up giving maxie relationship advice . maxie : okay , here it goes . nathan . nathan : maxie . maxie : i 've been thinking about you nonstop since we got back . i think about you when i 'm sitting in my bedroom at my mom and mac 's house . mostly i think about the little things , like how great the shower smells after you 've used your wonderful soap or the fact that you always offer to make me some of your special coffee after you 've made some for yourself in the morning or -- or that playlist of really great music that -- that you blast when you 're working out , which seems to be all the time -- not that i mind , because i do n't know that music , and i really like it . nathan : and i will tell you about all this stuff , the coffee and the music and the soap , tonight at dinner . maxie : that 's just it , nathan . [ clears throat ] i can not go out with you tonight . nathan : we can reschedule . i 'm flexible . maxie : no , i do n't have anything else to do . it 's ... nathan : look , you 're probably still recovering from everything that you just went through , okay ? like , i know i 'm not even 100 % , and levi and his band of psychos had you a lot longer than they had me . you got to be physically and emotionally drained . so , we can wait a few days . maxie : no , nathan , that 's not it , either . nathan : well , what is it ? maxie : i 'm sorry . i ca n't go out with you at all . morgan : i tried to tell maxie that i was n't the right person to be giving relationship advice , but then she promised to stop talking and leave if i told her what to do , so i just jumped at the chance of that . kiki : so , you told her what ? morgan : i just told her to trust her heart . kiki : [ chuckles ] uh , nice , but completely noncommittal . whatever . morgan : yeah , i mean , i think i just confused her more . but anyway , the upside of the whole thing is that she extends her apology to you and michael . which how -- how did things go with michael this morning ? kiki : yeah , about that . um ... morgan : look , i - i know i 'm putting you in a tough position , asking you not to tell him that our dad killed aj , but i promise you that this is the best way . kiki : keeping secrets from michael almost became a moot point last night . morgan : what do you mean ? kiki : someone tried to kill him . sonny : do n't be naive . you 've lived at my house . you know how it works . one hitman does n't finish the job , you get another one . michael : dad , i trust you to handle it , okay , but i really got to get to work . sonny : you 're not -- you 're not brushing me off here . i need you someplace safe so i can figure out who targeted you , and i can eliminate the threat . michael : dad , you 're worried about me . you 're concerned about me , and you have every right to be . but you have the national guard of the underworld outside my door , and you told me you have security all over elq . sonny : i do , but i do n't think it 's enough . i do n't want to take a chance with my son . you 're too important to me . michael : dad , i am not 10 anymore . i do n't need to be sent away to keep me safe . sonny : i ca n't lose you , michael ! you understand ? carly : hey , what 's going on between you guys ? why are you arguing ? michael : dad is trying to force me into hiding . can you please tell him he 's overreacting ? carly : i ca n't do that , michael . i agree with your father . lulu : i am the first one to admit that my father is far from perfect . he was m.i.a . for large chunks of my life , but whenever it mattered , he was there . and i knew deep down that he really loved me . dante : of course he loves you . lulu : whenever things would get really tough , he would just , like , magically appear . when i decided to have an abortion and the quartermaines took legal action to force me to keep the baby , my dad was there . he was there , and he was making everything right . when jerry jacks held a bunch of us hostage at the metro court , my dad saved the day . my dad has saved my life i do n't even know how many times . dante : i know he has . lulu : and now because of something that a kid said and -- and a bunch of coincidences , i am supposed to believe that my dad intentionally hurt patrick 's daughter , that my dad is dealing cocaine and heroin to kids ? i 'm sorry . no . no , this person that -- that everyone is talking about , this is not the person that i know and love . this man is not my father . dante : okay , we 're not sure of anything yet , but even you have to admit since your father came out of miscavige , he -- he has not been himself . lulu : it does n't mean that he has turned into a monster . dante : no , no , i 'm not saying he -- he is a monster . but i 'm saying we have to find out exactly what is going on , and the best way to do that is for us to go to amsterdam . lulu : yeah , except ... i 'm not going . patrick : hey , um , i 'm sorry to cut this short , but i need to go find sam . sabrina : you two still working together ? patrick : yeah , yeah , we are . sabrina : well , before you go , have you found out anything else about the accident that killed gabriel ? patrick : well , a little bit . we -- we think we might have a new lead . sabrina : this is n't about the crichton - clark clinic again , is it ? patrick : no , no , i 'm putting that place behind me . over and done with . no , the person we 're investigating has nothing to do with that place or anyone in it . sabrina : all right , then . who do you think did it ? sam : i do n't get this . daniel edward morgan , why are you doing this ? why wo n't you let go of this guy 's hand ? elizabeth : sam , is everything okay ? sam : i do n't understand . danny will not let go of this guy 's hand . i keep -- i 'm afraid if i yell at him , he 's gon na throw a tantrum . elizabeth : i have something that might work . sam : you do ? elizabeth : hey , danny . kiddo , look what i have . look at this . [ gasps ] sam : do you want a lollipop ? elizabeth : you want it ? you can have it as long as you sit down over here . come here . we 'll sit you on this stool . you hold it . and i 'll put you here . there you go . good job . sam : way to go . elizabeth : i have a lot of experience with stubborn little boys . sam : yeah . elizabeth : when all else fails , you bribe them . sam : clearly it works . elizabeth : so , that was funny he was hanging on to this patient right now . what was that all about ? sam : yeah , it was so strange . he -- he would not let go of this guy 's hand . it was just so weird . elizabeth : then i must be a little weird , too . i 'm not even supposed to be here right now . but for some reason , i just ... i do n't know . i feel the need to stick close to this one . sam : i mean , clearly you do care about your patients . elizabeth : it 's more than that . i have patients day in and day out , but i do n't feel the need to care for them like this . there 's something different about this guy . sam : so , what do you think it is that 's making you feel such a strong connection to him ? do you know who he is ? elizabeth : that 's the thing . no one knows . he was hit by a car , and i happened to be here when he was brought in . he was semi - conscious for a bit , but he could n't answer any questions . he does n't have any i.d . on him , and now -- now he 's a john doe . sam : well , someone 's got to miss him . elizabeth : you would think , but no one seems to be looking for him . sam : well , what did the police say ? elizabeth : there have been no reports of anyone matching his description , and obviously we have n't been able to release a photo because of his facial injuries . sam : of course . so , what now ? elizabeth : i have no idea how long he 's gon na be unconscious . maybe once his bandages can be removed , he 'll be recognizable , and then we can release a photo . sam : i mean , do you think he 's gon na wake up ? elizabeth : i hope so . then maybe he can have some company other than strangers . sam : you know , there must be someone out there who loves and misses him . sabrina : who do you think caused the accident that killed our baby ? patrick : sabrina , i just -- i do n't think i should tell you right now . sabrina : patrick , if you think that i ca n't handle it , do n't . i promise i 'm not gon na fall apart . patrick : it 's not that . i just , you know , this is a new thing for sam and i , and i do n't want to start pointing fingers and blaming somebody if they did n't have anything to do with the accident . sabrina : patrick , i was gabriel 's mother . if you have a lead , even if it 's a random , crazy theory , i have the right to know about it . patrick : okay . i can respect that . sabrina : thank you . so , who do you think did it ? patrick : luke spencer . sabrina : luke spencer ? that 's impossible . dante : you really do n't want to make the trip to amsterdam ? i mean , your dad 's gon na be blindsided . tracy 's already a mess . you do n't want to be there for that ? lulu : i want to be there when my dad proves to everyone that he did n't do all those hateful things , that he 's not this person that you and everybody suspect he is . dante : all i care about is uncovering the truth , and hopefully in the process , we exonerate your dad . lulu : i know . i know . and i want to be there when he clears his name , but i had the night to think about it , and i just remember what it was like when my dad would take off for whatever reason and i was left with my grandmother . and i loved her . she was wonderful . but i always felt left behind . i do n't want to do that to rocco . i want to be here for him . like , last night -- last night , he was really fussy . dante : yeah , i know . i heard him a couple times . i got up to check on him , but of course you already beat me to it . lulu : i was happy to be here to comfort him when he was crying . i do n't want to miss that . i do n't want to choose my father over my little boy . i hate the fact that i even have to choose , but we almost died at that clinic . i was terrified that i was never gon na see rocco again . dante : so was i . lulu : we lost all that time with him when he was a baby , and i just do n't want to miss another second . dante : i know . look , i do n't blame you , okay ? lulu : there 's another thing , okay ? we made the choice to devote ourself to rocco instead of adding another baby to our family , so i ca n't just hand rocco over to your mother and go off on some adventure . i 'm sorry , dante . i just ... i ca n't go with you . michael : did you two plan this , an assault from both sides ? carly : no , i came over to see how you were . i had no idea that your father wanted to do this , but i 'm glad . michael : mom , i have a life here ! sonny : you can pick up your life where you left off as soon as the threat 's handled . michael : i understand that you 're concerned , but you have to understand my position here . i run elq . i took on that responsibility . carly : ned can take over for however long it takes ! michael : yeah , maybe so , but the main reason i 'm running elq is because of aj , to do something he never had the chance to do , okay ? and i ca n't just walk away whenever i feel like it . carly : you 're a target , michael ! you have to let your father protect you , and that means going away until it 's safe . michael : i have plenty of guards . carly : what if these people get past the guards ? michael , you killed a man in self - defense , and we ca n't report it because of the trouble with claudia . michael : you mean my manslaughter conviction . carly : yeah . that 's exactly what i mean . you have to go away until it 's safe ! sonny : there is a satellite link on the island . you can work remotely . michael : okay . yeah . what about my -- my relationship with kiki ? i ca n't have a relationship remotely . sonny : you can take her with you . carly : your dad 's thought of everything . michael : you two are double - teaming me here . carly : yeah , we are . i know . but if it keeps you safe , we do n't care . sonny : so , what 's it gon na be , mike ? are you gon na do this for me and your mother ? you gon na give us some peace of mind here ? morgan : my brother killed someone last night ? is he okay ? kiki : he 's actually a little too okay , if you ask me . his -- his place is flooded with your dad 's guards . morgan : kiki , he 's been to prison for manslaughter once already for -- for self - defense . he was -- he was defending our mom and josslyn , but -- but the police are not gon na accept the same excuse twice . kiki : oh , i know , and that 's what i said , but he keeps saying that your father has it handled and that it 's all going to go away . morgan : this is insane . kiki : you know what 's a little more insane ? your new gal pal rosalie , she was there when it went down . nathan : i thought you decided to give me a shot . maxie : i did . and -- and then i , uh , went to the brownstone to apologize for that terrible sit - in that levi aka peter staged . nathan : got handcuffed together . maxie : yeah . anyway , i was talking to morgan . nathan : what was so bad about that ? we got forced to walk home through the park and we caught the fireworks on the way . maxie : we were n't forced to do anything . you forced me to because you were too embarrassed to go to the police station and get a new set of keys . so , technically , it 's like you kidnapped me , too . only you did it on a holiday on accident . nathan : i told you your eyes were beautiful . maxie : i vaguely remember that . very clearly . a little . nathan : [ chuckles ] so , what about the next morning when we woke up together ? that was n't so terrible , right ? maxie : well , my wrists did n't like it , but , yes , i think about that night all the time . and i think about all the other really nice things you 've done for me , like offered to perjure yourself so i could get custody of my daughter . that 's very sweet . nathan : okay , so what 's the problem ? maxie : i ... can not just jump right into something again . new year 's eve , i was supposed to leave on a soul - searching trip . i ended up making one of the biggest mistakes of my life . i was supposed to be alone so i could reflect . i ended up hooking up with levi . nathan : but i am not levi . i 'm not some guy you just met . you know me . maxie : no , nathan . i - i do n't know you at all . nathan : how can you say you do n't know me ? we lived together in your apartment for months . maxie : that does n't mean that i know you . i mean , i thought i knew who levi dunkleman was , but he did n't turn out to be some spiritual meditative altruistic guy . he turned out to be a homicidal maniac named peter harrell . nathan : yeah , but i 'm -- i 'm none of those things . i 'm not even all that -- that spiritual or -- or meditative or altruistic . maxie : hello , you 're , like , the most altruistic guy i 've ever laid my eyes on . you do so many nice things for me , and i refuse to believe that you have some sort of ulterior motive . nathan : i do n't . maxie : ha ! then how can you say you 're not altruistic ? nathan : okay . maybe i 'm a little altruistic when it comes to you . is that such a bad thing ? maxie : well , what about everything else ? nathan : what everything else ? maxie : nathan west is not just some cop who decided to move to port charles like i thought . you moved here because you thought dr. clay put your sister in a coma . i mean , your name 's not even nathan west . it 's james reeves . a - and yes , nina 's your sister , but you 're adopted , which makes britt your sister , too . and you got hammered and almost hooked up with her . that 's at least what i saw . nathan : okay , i did n't know she was my sister at the time , and these are all true things , and they 're all things that you already know about me . maxie : yes , but i do n't know , like , the little , tiny details that make you who you are . like , what was it like growing up in manhattan ? what 's your favorite color ? i would guess cerulean blue , but that 's just an educated guess . nathan : i like blue . i did n't know that i had it narrowed down to the cerulean part . maxie : no , you are missing the point . how can you say that i know who you are when your mother 's not your mother and your father 's turned out to be a cassadine ? you do n't even know yourself . nathan : all right , maxie , look , maybe you 're right . maybe i do n't know the truth about my parents , but i know myself , okay ? and if you 'll go out with me , i 'll tell you everything there is to know about me . morgan : rosalie 's not my new gal pal , especially after she told her boss , nina clay , that my parents were hooking up behind franco 's back . kiki : she 's a real crusader for the truth , is n't she ? morgan : what the hell was she doing at michael 's again in the first place ? kiki : oh , uh , supposedly she came to apologize for the other day when she told michael that we were hiding something from him . morgan : oh , that 's great . what 'd she tell him this time ? kiki : do n't worry . michael still thinks that the only secret we 're keeping from him is the big anniversary surprise that rosalie ruined . morgan : okay , so he still does n't know anything ? kiki : no , morgan . he still does n't know that sonny killed his father or that his mother knows about it or that she has been hiding it from him . fortunately , he still has no idea about that . morgan : which is a hell of a lot worse than anything else he could find out about . michael : you know , i think i liked it better when you two were fighting . you both together like this is a force of nature . [ sighs ] carly : we both love you , and we refuse to let you risk your life . sonny : listen to your mom . michael : you know , when i was a kid , i had to listen to everything that you said . okay , but now i 'm an adult , and ... i 'm setting boundaries . carly : michael . we tried reasoning with him , okay ? now we use force ! we make him go ! michael : mom , relax . relax , okay ? look ... i may not have to do everything that my parents tell me to do , but i do realize that an attempted hit is a serious matter and it should be addressed . and besides , i do n't want you two to worry more than you have to . i love you both too much for that . lulu : i understand that anna made you lead detective on this case and that you have to go to amsterdam to investigate my father . it 's your job . dante : it is . and , uh , i already cleared the trip with anna . lulu : you should start packing . dante : you do n't actually think i want to leave this little guy again , do you ? lulu : no , of course not . dante : and i sure as hell do n't want to leave you . and every second that you were gone , i did n't think you were coming back to me . and then we wake up in that clinic , and i do n't think that ... the three of us are ever gon na be together again . lulu : you hid it well . dante : well , i 'm a very brave and daring man . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : actually , the truth is , i thought i was gon na collapse from happiness when i realized we were gon na be together again . lulu : i - i did see that . [ chuckles ] dante : i do n't ever want to leave you and rocco ever again . i love you both too much . but i also do n't want to let you down . lulu : what are you saying ? dante : i 'm saying -- or i 'm asking you ... would you be disappointed if i did n't go with tracy and patrick and sam ? sabrina : why would you think luke spencer 's behind what happened ? patrick : supposedly he came right out and admitted it . sabrina : he confessed ? to who ? patrick : spencer cassadine . spencer overheard luke saying something that luke wanted kept quiet , so luke threatened emma in order to shut spencer up . sabrina : that 's absurd . patrick : sabrina , we at least need to rule out the possibility that luke was n't involved . there 's -- there 's a chance that the reason we were run off the road had nothing to do with me or you or gabriel . this had to do with emma . sabrina : no , spencer is obviously lying . whoever did this to us was not after emma . they -- they were after our son . sam : whoever you are , i want you to know that elizabeth is going to take really good care of you . she 's actually the best there is here . i do n't know what it is about you , but i want to see you get better . [ alarm beeping ] sam : what is it ? elizabeth : his vitals are rising . sam : that 's good news , right ? elizabeth : yeah , but he 's under such heavy sedation , he should n't be manifesting all this activity . but he seems to be fighting to come out of it . sam : well , do you think he 's gon na wake up ? elizabeth : possibly . something 's bringing up his vitals , and that 's a good sign . patrick : i - i understand that you need to make sense of this , all right , and you want to find a reason why our son had to die , but as of right now , it does n't seem like it was about him . sabrina : and you know this because a 9-year - old boy said so ? patrick : if it was just spencer 's word , then that would be one thing , but we were able to uncover more information about luke . and if it checks out , then there 's a chance that luke was behind this accident . sabrina : well , five minutes ago , you did n't want to tell me who you thought it was because you had n't confirmed it yet , and now suddenly you 're trying to convince me that it was luke . and for all you know , this could just be another false lead just like the clinic was . patrick : right , you -- you were adamant that the clinic was a dead end . sabrina : and i was right , was n't it ? patrick : now you 're pretty sure that luke is a dead end , too . why is that ? sabrina : what do you mean , why ? have you been listening to yourself ? these are all just theories . you do n't have any proof -- patrick : okay , but do you have a theory ? do you have idea who caused the accident ? lulu : so , you 're not going to amsterdam ? you 're gon na stay here with rocco and me ? dante : is that okay ? lulu : oh , thank god ! oh , i do n't want to be away from you . after everything we went through , i just -- being apart so soon ... dante : we wo n't be . we wo n't be . we 'll stay right here . lulu : okay . wait , what about the investigation ? anna 's not gon na be happy if you 're not there . dante : i already talked to anna . she said there 's plenty for me to do here in port charles . i can build a file on your father , and if -- if -- he is working with the jeromes , the best way to find out is by sticking close to julian . lulu : julian jerome is a lying liar who lies . and i can not imagine that my father had anything to do with him . dante : well , then i will work to prove luke 's innocence , okay ? and i 'll keep an eye on what 's going on in amsterdam from over here , and i 'm sure sam will keep me apprised every step of the way . elizabeth : i need to go get his doctor , but if you want to stay here and talk to him , it seems to be doing a lot of good . sam : listen , i would , but i have to go . patrick must be thinking that danny and i went missing . elizabeth : right . patrick . yeah . about him . real quick -- he told me that you guys have been spending some time together ? sam : i mean , we 're working together , but it 's pretty much the story . elizabeth : well , it 's just my opinion , but i think he would like there to be more to the story . [ alarm blares ] sam : what was that ? elizabeth : it 's just an alarm , but i got to go get his doctor . bye , danny . sam : hey , buddy , do you want to say goodbye to the guy ? yeah ? say bye - bye . danny : bye . sam : see you later . danny : later . sam : feel better . danny : feel better . sam : okay . let 's go . nathan : okay , so maybe you 're right . maybe i do n't know the truth about my biological parents . but i know me , and i want to tell you everything there is to know about me , the -- the trivial stuff , the important stuff , and i want to ask you things , too . maxie : oh , well , i 've done a lot of bad things , but it 's all a matter of public record , as you know . nathan : no , maxie , i want to know you , not your rap sheet . so far , i 've learned that you 're funny and you 're beautiful and you 're kind and you 're loyal even when people do n't deserve it . and when you make a mistake , you make a really big mistake . maxie : i thought we covered that already . nathan : because you want to help people . and i know you 've been jerked about , and i know you 've been through a lot of loss . but i want us to learn everything about each other , and in order to do that , we have to spend time together . maxie : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , nathan . i just -- i need to be alone right now . nathan : okay . i - i understand that . but i have a proposition for you . sonny : all packed ? michael : yeah , anything else i need i can get on the island . does enrique know i 'm coming ? sonny : everything 's arranged . we just , you know , just for a couple days till we clear things up . think of this as like a , uh , a mini vacation . michael : oh . well , maybe kiki will like seeing the place where i spent half my childhood . sonny : car 's gon na be waiting downstairs . you can pick up kiki on the way . your mom and i are gon na make sure we close up the place . michael : you really did think of everything , did n't you ? carly : you know how protective your father is of his family . michael : yeah . carly : thank you . thank you so much for doing this . michael : love you , mom . carly : [ sighs ] i love you so much . kiki : i ca n't explain to you how much i hate keeping this from him . morgan : kiki , we have to . he 's been through enough . kiki : maybe he could handle it . morgan , he just killed someone last night , and he 's -- he 's handling that perfectly well . morgan : you do n't get it . the reason why he can handle all the crap he 's been through is because of the trust that he has for our parents . kiki : this is n't just about your mom and your dad , okay ? this is about me and michael . i know that it was my idea to keep from michael that carly and sonny slept together , and maybe that was wrong of me . but we 're also not telling him that my mom is staying here in this building that he owns , but -- but this , to not tell him what your father did to aj , this is the biggest thing that we have kept from michael . morgan : which is why we are keeping it from him , kiki . kiki : every time i see michael , i 'm lying to him , morgan ! it took everything in me not to tell him that his father was n't worth defending . this is so wrong on every level . morgan : what are you saying ? you 're gon na tell mikey what our dad did ? carly : let us know as soon as you get there , okay ? you call me the second you get there . michael : all right . carly : i love you . michael : love you , too . bye . sonny : thanks for backing me up . i could n't have done it without you . carly : thank you for making that happen . um , well , i 'm glad that we 're alone here , because there , uh ... there 's some -- something i need to say to you . morgan : kiki , i am sorry that this is so hard for you , okay ? and -- and maybe my dad deserves what 's coming to him if mikey finds out . kiki : [ scoffs ] and then some . he killed his father . morgan : but then what about my mom , okay ? it 's gon na destroy their relationship . and hell , i feel like i just got my brother back after everything . kiki : everything that happened with us ? morgan : i do n't want to lose that . telling -- telling him is not gon na bring aj back . punishing my father -- that 's not worth all the damage it 's gon na do to everyone else . kiki : i do n't know . morgan : please , kiki , you -- you have to understand how mikey can never find out . please . it will change everything . please tell me that you will not say anything to him . [ door opens ] michael : anyone home ? what 's wrong ? did i scare you ? morgan : no , no , no . we just , uh , were n't expecting you , that 's all . kiki : i thought you were going to the office . michael : yeah , i thought so , too , but , uh , my parents had other plans . sonny : i think what you want to say is that you broke it off with franco . you 're gon na call off the engagement , 'cause you know ... that we should be together . nathan : so , i was so excited about us tonight that i made a reservation at the metro court . and -- and i 'm gon na be there , okay ? and if you want to be alone , i understand that . but if you change your mind , you know where to find me . [ door closes ] patrick : you have n't said much about who you think is responsible for gabriel 's death . do you have a theory ? sam : hey , wait a minute . patrick , sabrina , hi . patrick : hey . sabrina : hey . patrick : hi , buddy . sam : hey , sabrina , you remember danny , do n't you ? sabrina : yeah . hi ! how 's it going ? patrick : how was it ? sabrina : how was the doctor 's appointment ? sam : great . um , i was thinking we should probably get danny home , because we got to go . patrick : yeah , i just -- i want you to know that i told , uh , sabrina about our suspicion , but she seems to have her own theory , actually . sam : okay . well , that 's -- that 's great . w - what is it ? sabrina : you know what ? i - i overreacted . i 'm sorry . you guys are doing such a great job . just let me know if you find out anything else about luke spencer . patrick : okay . sam : okay . patrick : bye . good seeing you . sam : bye . patrick : hey , how was your appointment ? dante : hey . come check this out . lulu : ohh ! look at that smile . dante : he is having one happy , happy dream . lulu : i know exactly how he feels . except i 'm awake . dante : ohh , that 's , like , worse than any . lulu : [ laughs ] dante : yes , we definitely made the right decision staying home . patrick : so , you were looking for me ? sam : yeah , epiphany sent me to the icu , but i just missed you . patrick : yeah . were you there the whole time ? sam : the whole time . danny wound up wandering into your john doe 's room . patrick : really ? sam : yeah . patrick : he looks pretty beat up . it did n't upset him , did he ? sam : uh , no , it was just the opposite . i had a hard time getting him to let go of him . patrick : hmm . [ monitor beeping ] elizabeth : are you gon na give him more sedatives to keep him under ? doctor : his levels are all good . nature seems to be taking its course . if it 's time for him to wake up , then let 's not stand in his way . elizabeth : he 's gon na be in a lot of pain . doctor : we 'll deal with that when the time comes . but for now , i think it 's best we just let him come around on his own . so keep me apprised of his progress , okay ? elizabeth : i will . did you hear that ? you 're gon na wake up soon . then maybe we can finally find out who you really are . [ next_on ] patrick : ( to sam ) it 's just a matter of time before i 'm officially divorced . maxie : ( to lulu ) so you 're saying i should go out with nathan ? dante : ( to nathan ) why are you in such a rush here ? what are you running away from ? sonny : ( to carly ) we 're stronger together than we are apart . todd : ( to nina ) i 'm about to hear exactly how carly feels about sonny .

[ sighs ] i have -- i have faith in the system . i do . but right now , i sure see how my father 's ways -- it looks pretty good . lulu : that 's it ? your father 's way landed him in icu . dante : yeah , i know . do n't worry . i 'm not gon na do any of this . lulu : look , i know that you 're frustrated , okay ? i get it . dante : hey , you know what ? thanks for letting me vent . lulu : we 're gon na get through this , okay ? we are . all of it . your dad , morgan , and -- and michael and avery , too , okay ? i promise . dante : when you say it , somehow i do believe you . lulu : stick with me , kid . we got this . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] nathan : what ? all of a sudden , this secret means more to you than i do ? maxie : i take offense to you even saying that . nathan : well , i take offense to this whole thing . maxie : nathan , please . you have to know that outside of georgie , you are the most important person in the world to me . but does that mean i have to tell you everything ? nathan : yes ! maxie : really ? so if your friend came to you begging for you to keep a secret , you would just turn around and fill me in ? nathan : no . maxie : thank you . nathan : some things you ca n't tell even if you want to . maxie : finally he gets it . are you speaking from experience ? is there something that you 're keeping from me ? nathan : yes . [ scene_break ] kiki : all right . well , i have to get ready for work now , so ... franco : take your time . we 'll all go out together . kiki : i guess , if you insist . nina : um , can you tell me why we 're waiting here ? franco : to show our support . she 's been through a lot . no matter how much it appears that she 's keeping it together , okay ? having to deal with that barracuda of a realtor -- nina : i liked her . she was great . franco : really ? you liked her ? you liked babs ? nina : yeah , i do like babs . i like her . she 's honest . i mean , this place is never gon na sell , franco . i could use a realtor like that . franco : why ? are you thinking of moving ? nina : yeah . i think it 's time that i moved . i 've been at the metro long enough . i should get my own place . franco : yeah , i know what you mean . there 's only so long a grown man can live with his father before it starts to look really weird , right ? nina : so , we 're in the same boat . franco : looks like . what ? nina : what ? i thought that you wanted to say something . franco : i - i might want to say something . nina : about ? franco : well , i was thinking that ... okay , i was thinking about the possibility of you and i living together . [ scene_break ] sam : mm !

[ scene_break ] lulu : everything that my family has been through this year , i - i know that it 's not the same , but i get that feeling of being powerless , like feeling like you want to do something , but you ca n't , and it sucks . dante : pretty much . god , i 'm like , uh , so ... tense right now . lulu : you know what ? i think that you need to let me help you with that . [ clears throat ] okay ? sir , i 'm going to need you to take off your shirt , lie down , and close your eyes . [ scene_break ] dillon : lulu and i have n't had anything for a long time , obviously . she 's married . she has a kid now . she 's happy . is it not insane how happy they are ? valerie : i 've never seen anything like it . dillon : and i knew all of this , right ? but the more time that i spend with her , the more that i feel this ... spark , is the only word that i can describe it with . and i - i try to ignore it . i try to tell it to shut up . valerie : but it wo n't listen . dillon : nope . valerie : yeah . been there . still there . dillon : so as you can see , you are not the worst person ever . you have company . valerie : are you kidding me ? [ scoffs ] all you did was think about being with lulu . i actually acted on it . dillon : you got to give yourself a break . it was just one kiss . valerie : yeah , no , i just ... ... still feel about it , that 's all . dillon : oh , my god . valerie : what ? dillon : it was n't just one kiss , was it ? [ scene_break ] sam : you were right . patrick : tell me something i do n't know . sam : my day just improved immensely . patrick : a - ha . sam : wait , wait , what time is it ? what time do we have to pick emma up from school ? patrick : anna is on duty today . sam : okay , so we 're now -- mm -- [ chuckles ] patrick : what ? what , what ? sam : well ... are we gon na tell the kids tonight ? i mean , emma 's gon na wonder where her ring pop went . patrick : she 's not gon na care about that ring , believe me . if we do tell her tonight , she is gon na be so excited . i ca n't wait to see the smile on her face . sam : i 'm the lucky one . i love that little girl so much . patrick : well , she loves you , too , and , i mean , we ca n't get enough of danny . you know , i think after we lost , uh , gabriel , she -- she did n't think that she was gon na get another brother or sister in her life again , so ... sam : and now she has one . and you have a surrogate son . patrick : yeah . you know , it 's crazy because ... sam : [ sighs ] patrick : ... when i knew that i was having a boy , you start thinking , you start dreaming of all those times that you 're gon na have with him . you know , you go camping and you race in cars and taking him to the ball park . sam : um , you know , girls can do those things , too . patrick : not my girl . sam : really ? patrick : no , believe me , i would not change a thing about her . she 's the best . and , you know , that princess tea party is ... one of the best things in my life . i will never , ever lose those moments with her . sam : but i - i get that you were kind of probably looking forward to the other things , too . patrick : i put all that away . but now with danny and our little family here , i get to open it all up again , and it 's the greatest gift . sam : yes . can you believe it ? i mean , this is our life . this is ... patrick : that thing . sam : this is our home . samantha drake . patrick : well , what do you think ? sam : i think it has a nice ring to it . patrick : i think so , too . you 're right , though . i can -- i can believe it , because this is just perfect . it 's the easiest decision i 've ever made in my life . asking you to marry me is a no - brainer . sam : a no - brainer ? says the neurosurgeon .

[ scene_break ] nina : so , you want to move in together ? franco : yeah , i do . i do . more than anything . but i ... nina : but what ? franco : okay , i 'm trying to figure out a way to say this tactfully . nina : oh , um ... franco : i do n't , um ... nina : what ? that -- that you 're broke and i 'm loaded ? franco : that was good . you did a good job . that -- that 's how you say that . nina : [ chuckles ] it 's not a big deal . franco : it 's a big deal to me . nina : no , it 's not a big -- franco : i do n't want to live off of you . nina : you 're not living off of me . it 's not my money . i did n't earn it . i inherited it . that money nearly killed me , and that money killed silas . you know , the best revenge i could think of is to -- just to use the money to really live . and there 's nothing that i would like more than to live with you . what do you say ? franco : yeah . i say yes . nina : really ? i mean , yes ? franco : do you think i would say no to something like that ? nina : i do n't know , because you 're ... unpredictable . franco : i 'm unpredictable ? i do n't think so . i think i 'm pretty predictable when it comes to you . i 'll go wherever you are . i 'll do anything to be with you . kiki : [ forced cough ] franco : sorry . i 'm sorry . nina : hey . kiki : you guys ready to go ? nina : yeah , let 's go . yeah . let 's do that . franco : i am -- i am so stupid . i ca n't believe how stupid i am . i said that we would all leave together , but , you know , we parked on the other side . kiki : okay , well , guess i 'll see you later , then . franco : okay . do n't work too hard . hey , and call me anytime , okay ? i 'm always available . kiki : thank you . nina : we did n't -- we did n't park on the other side . franco : yeah , i know . we took a cab . nina : why 'd you say that to her ? franco : something 's wrong with kiki . [ scene_break ] nathan : max , come on . forget about the secret , okay ? i 'm the one keeping it , not you . maxie : true , but the fact that i know it exists essentially means i 'm keeping it , too . nathan : is this conversation hurting your head ? 'cause mine is killing me . maxie : and i would hate to be a part of something that could potentially hurt someone , so could you do me a favor and at least tell me that much ? nathan : i love that you 're always thinking of other people . maxie : after thinking about myself , of course , and that is so not an answer . nathan : okay , look , how about this ? the only way the secret that i 'm keeping could hurt somebody is if i told it . [ scene_break ] dante : ahh . lulu : does that feel good ? dante : like you would not believe . lulu : i know as impossible as this is going to sound , you have to release the tension , okay ? even if it 's just for a few minutes . so i want you to relax and think about nothing . just give your body and your mind a break . how 's the pressure ? dante ? sweet dreams , babe . [ scene_break ] valerie : you 're completely off base . dillon : am i ? valerie : yeah ! it was just one kiss , like you said . dillon : well , i might believe you if you were n't completely tied up in knots right now . valerie : yeah , that 's only because you 're accusing me of something that 's completely outrageous . dillon : i am not accusing you of anything . i am asking you a question . did something more happen between you and dante ? you can talk to me , valerie . i am not gon na repeat this to anyone , and i hope that that goes both ways . valerie : you mean about your feelings for lulu ? of course . i would never say anything to anyone . dillon : thank you . valerie : [ sighs ] but this ... ... oh , this is bigger . dillon : how big ? valerie : dante and i slept together . dillon : slept together ? so that -- that whole story about the kiss was just a cover ? valerie : no . that night happened just how we said . one kiss and i put a stop to it . but there was another night ? dante was out of his mind with jealousy . he thought his marriage was over . when he realized how wrong he had been , i 've never seen regret like that , dillon . he hates himself for it . dillon : well , not enough to tell lulu the truth . valerie : for what ? to break her heart over a mistake that will never happen again ? because that 's what i am -- a mistake . dante made that very clear . dillon : well , i 'm betting that feels like crap . valerie : i 'm not looking for sympathy . i knew what i did was wrong on multiple levels . but when we slept together , it was everything i 'd imagined it would be , until it was n't . and now i 'm stuck with all these insane emotions that i do n't know what to do with . [ scoffs ] and not only did i do this despicable thing , but now i 've blabbed it to the world . dillon : i am not the world . valerie : yeah , you 're worse ! you 're lulu 's friend . dillon : i 'm your friend , too , valerie . and i 'm guessing that 's all we 're gon na end up being from this point on . unless this was a rom - com . then we would probably end up partnering in crime trying to bust up the happy couple . valerie : this is n't a movie . and you would n't do that . dillon : neither would you . yes , you messed up . if anybody knows about inconvenient feelings ... [ sighs ] do n't worry , okay ? your secret is safe with me . valerie : promise ? dillon : no one else will ever know what you just told me .

both maxie and nathan realize they have to each keep a secret told to them in confidence , from everyone including each other . she has just caught wind that dillon has lulu on his mind and ca n't stop believing she is the one for him instead of valerie , even though he knows lulu married to dante . nathan has just discussed with valerie that she only has feelings for dante and not for dillon . dante and lulu are happily together and not remotely considering breaking up or cheating on one another . yet , regardless , he indicates that he feels close to valerie and there might be a connection he has with her that he does not have with lulu , and she has the same special bond with dillon . when valerie and dillon meet up , after he 's shot the scene with maxie , he admits that he has feelings for lulu , to which she promises not to divulge and respect his anonymity . she also confides in dillon that she made the `` one time mistake `` of sleeping with dillon and has not told anyone . he graciously promises her that her secret is safe with him . yet , while they speak `` privately `` , they are unaware that the video camera is taking their entire conversation . kiki is ready to sell the place she and silas used to live and franco is concerned that she is shutting everybody out , realizing she may be all alone , without her dad , her mom or her boyfriend . he wants to be there for her but is not certain how to do that . sam agrees to marry patrick . but before they can spend an evening together , they get a surprise visit from laura . little do they know what she knows ( that jason is alive and the same person as jake ) .

luke : everybody ready to rock and roll ? luke : say hello to a selected group of your family , peers , and victims . stefan : you 've finally gone completely mad . you 've kidnapped me and brought me before a room full of witnesses . what makes you think these people will let you make them accessories to your crime ? luke : but you see , that 's the beauty of tonight 's entertainment . when i say `` a selected group , `` i mean everyone in this room knows what a vile bloodsucker you are . everyone in this room knows how you destroy and pillage and murder , and then excuse yourself of any responsibility for it by saying you did it in the name of the cassadines , as though the rest of humanity does n't matter a damn next to your high - minded self - interest . stefan : you 're obviously having yet another public mental breakdown . you release me immediately , and i may show compassion by not having you prosecuted ! alexis : this is a good show , luke . really , it is . we all really appreciate it , except you need to end it right now . luke : bite your tongue , natasha . we have n't even started . we 're serving up justice tonight , hot and fresh from the oven . justice for all of you . justice for the vast unwashed , like darius . people who have found themselves suddenly on the business end of the defendant 's wrath with no means to defend themselves -- people like summer ! a beautiful woman with a kind heart , whose only crime was being in the wrong place when this man intended to kill another innocent young woman . people like darius and summer -- they 've been calling out from the grave . and tonight , by god , we 're going to listen ! stefan : you make a mockery of it every day you draw breath . you go through with this and you will end up in prison , having accomplished nothing more than making a bigger fool of yourself than usual . luke : well , i 'll take that risk . zander : luke , as much as i 'm enjoying this , i really think you should stop now . emily : we all know what stefan did . maybe that 's enough . lydia : hardly , but i do n't see why this luke person should go to jail instead of stefan . nikolas : i say we let luke finish what he started . i mean , he makes a great point . my uncle killed darius because he was an incompetent killer . does anyone hear how twisted that is ? if darius had been a better killer , emily would n't be here right now . she 'd be dead instead of summer . either way , a woman lost her life and there 's been no justice for that . the legal system wrote summer off like her life did n't matter . i say we owe it to her to prove it did . luke : well spoken , young nikolas . nikolas : go ahead . stefan : you ca n't do this . nikolas : i just did . luke : well , then , let 's get on with the show . it seems that we 're only missing one thing -- a jury . stefan : oh . why am i not surprised ? of course , in your colossal arrogance , you would want a record of your vanity production . luke : oh , no , no . no , vlad , you 're wrong . we ai n't making little videotapes tonight . something else entirely . luke : good evening . we are coming to you live from an undisclosed location in good old port upchuckles for the long anticipated event , the murder trial of stefan cassadine . mac : spencer , you maniac . luke : that 's right , viewers . tonight we seek street justice -- georgie : what 's he doing ? luke : for inbred , self - important , quasi - greco - russian nobility , since somebody had to do it . our d.a . could n't find his way out of a paper bag . scott : leave me out of your shenanigans , spencer . luke : the d.a . decided that seeking justice for a hooker -- georgie : you have to see this . luke : was not nearly as important as having the mighty cassadines owe him a favor . lucky : what the hell ? alexis : luke , i am begging you to stop this now . luke : uh -- too late , counselor . we on the air . hear ye , hear ye , court is in session , the decidedly dishonorable lucas lorenzo spencer presiding and prosecuting . let the good times roll . [ scene_break ] bartender : why are you passed out on my floor ? jax : i came to meet someone here . they must 've whacked me in the back of the head . you were here . you must 've seen it . bartender : nope . now clear out . this ai n't a hotel . jax : listen , i was playing cards here with a woman the other night . you must 've seen her . she 's a pretty , petite little thing , a brunette . kind of woman you ca n't miss . bartender : so ? jax : well , she has something that belongs to me . bartender : sorry , i ca n't help you . jax : well , perhaps my friends can persuade you .

[ scene_break ] luke : i can practically hear the legal eagles and the talking heads as they view these proceedings . i can practically hear them . `` outrageous ! `` they cry . `` unorthodox ! `` `` inadmissible ! `` well , where was their outrage when a young woman was found in a bloody heap at the bottom of a cliff ? where was their commitment to the scales of justice ? nobody -- nobody stepped forward on summer halloway 's behalf and insisted on the truth ! nobody demanded that her killer pay . but you see , all that changes here tonight . stefan : am i allowed to make an opening statement of my own to defend myself ? or do n't you intend to make any effort toward impartiality ? luke : speaking on behalf of the defense , stefan cassadine . stefan : i 'm certainly not going to sit here mute while luke spencer , of all people , disparages my good name . i 'm innocent . i 've neither killed nor ordered the death of anyone in my life . i ask you to consider the source . most of you know luke spencer , either personally or by reputation . you know that he 's a hothead with the emotional maturity of a 15-year - old . he 's deranged and he grows more so with each passing year . you check the psych ward records at general hospital and you will see that luke spencer is a frequent visitor . [ scene_break ] ric : elizabeth ? hi . elizabeth : hey . what are you doing here ? i ca n't see you very clearly , but you do n't appear to be shot or beat up . ric : well , i have to admit i knew you were having an exam today , and i just wanted to see how you were doing . stefan : i 'm not entirely unsympathetic , however . since luke finally shattered his wife 's mind -- elizabeth : is that stefan cassadine on tv ? [ scene_break ] stefan : he 's been consumed by grief and self - recrimination . scott : hey , give me that ! lucky : what 's wrong with you people ? does n't anyone see we got to stop this ? scott : quiet ! i do n't want to miss this . [ scene_break ] stefan : that 's where summer came in . first luke tried to turn her into a cheap imitation of laura . when he found that was an impossible task , he had no further use for her . under normal circumstances , he might 've walked away . but then summer made a fatal error . she fell in love with luke 's son , and that is why summer is not alive today . in a fit of rage and jealousy , luke spencer killed her . clearly , i 'm in this place against my will . luke chloroformed and kidnapped me , and he dares to speak to you of justice . luke : like i need this ! stefan : again , i ask , consider the source . luke : what the hell am i supposed to do with you , anyway , huh ? emily : dillon ? what are -- luke : you know this sprout ? dillon : hi . [ scene_break ] georgie : dillon ? dillon : i could be really useful to you . luke : you got 10 seconds to tell me how . mac : what the hell is he doing there ? georgie : i do n't know . dillon : one word -- camera work . mac : you 're telling me he 's gone and gotten himself involved with spencer ? georgie : no ! look , luke just dragged him in . luke : ladies and gentlemen , i give you the court cameraman . mac : why is it that when there 's trouble , dillon is sure to find it ? [ scene_break ] scott : well , i hope he gets that camera steady . luke : mr. spencer , call your first witness . thank you , your honor . the prosecution calls nikolas cassadine .

[ scene_break ] frances : thank you for meeting with me , mr. lansing . i realize you 're a very busy man . ric : oh , please , it was my pleasure . sam 's , too . i 'm so sorry she left so abruptly . frances : oh . oh , we all have time constraints . ric : mm - hmm . frances : i 'll be in touch . ric : thank you . lorenzo : so your big plan appears to be a bust . ric : i do n't follow . lorenzo : jason was n't exactly blinded by jealous rage when you touched sam . he just walked away . ric : you 're not seeing the forest through the trees , mr. alcazar . jason did n't want to go off here in this very public place . i think my plan 's working very well . lorenzo : so your plan to put your hand on sam 's knee was supposed to distract jason enough to make him vulnerable to me ? ric : mm - hmm . that 's the idea . lorenzo : yeah . i wonder . ric : now , what 's that supposed to mean ? lorenzo : well , it 's a little simplistic , but i ca n't help but think you 're working your own agenda , and it has nothing to do with some agreement you came to with me . ric : my only agenda , mr. alcazar , is my family -- protecting and providing for them . so , no , i 'm not trying to make jason so mad that he tries to kill me . i 'm sorry to disappoint you -- if that 's what you were hoping for . [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm glad you came . jason : you said it was important . sam : look , you probably figured it out for yourself , but what you saw at the metro court -- jason , it was a setup . ric 's meeting was miraculously canceled , and there i was , trapped with that pig and the school charity director . when he put his hands on me , jason , i wanted to scream , especially when i turn around , and i saw the only reason why he did it is because you were standing there . jason : sam , sam , sam , sam . i knew ric was putting on a show . i 'm sorry i confused you by leaving . i do understand that you are in an impossible situation . sam : ok . well , if you understand and you do n't blame me , then why do you get so mad ? [ scene_break ] carly : as god is my witness , if this is another trick to get me away from jax , i 'll be so mad at you . sonny : it 's not at all . listen to me , ok ? alexis is being stupid . carly : what else is new ? sonny : ok , jax -- what jax said ? it 's worse than that . she refuses to take the chemo . i did everything i could to change her mind . i even threatened to take kristina away if she dies . you know , i do n't know what to do at this point . i 'm kind of -- i just need your help . you know what i mean ? carly : i am sorry , ok ? i do n't know what i can do to help . sonny : i know what you can do , because you -- you frustrate her more than anybody that i know . use that . carly : how am i going to use that ? sonny : you just -- just go in there for a second -- carly : oh -- sonny : i 'll show you . no , just -- like this right here , look . carly : sonny -- sonny : just watch what i 'm -- just go . alexis : hi . carly : hi . alexis : carly . this is a surprise . carly : sonny told me about your decision , and i would like to say that i 'm sorry that you 've decided to pass on chemo . but i do think it is entirely up to you how you manage your own health . alexis : yeah , well , thanks . that 's -- um -- unexpected but appreciated . carly : i support you 100 % . i do . and i -- i do n't want you to lose one hair on your head worrying about kristina . because she is going to be perfectly fine -- with me . [ scene_break ] ric : you know , i should have as many doubts as you do . by all rights , it would be a win - win situation if jason were to kill me . he would go to jail , sonny would crumble without his trusty hit man , and the d.a . -- who pretty much knows where all the skeletons are in your closet -- would become a non - issue . lorenzo : you know , it 's really not like you to underestimate your own value . what 's that saying -- `` better the devil you know `` ? why would i want to take my chances with a new d.a . ? ric : good point . you might want to follow that advice . look , you need me as much as i need you -- perhaps you might need me more . lorenzo : hmm . let 's not get carried away . skye left town with my unborn child . for all i know , the child 's been born . i have no way of knowing . diego 's a full - grown man who thinks he can take care of himself . break it down -- i do n't have a lot to lose . you , on the other hand , have a sick wife , a couple of girls who are depending on you , sam -- whatever she means to you . oh , yeah -- and then there 's that older brother who you 've been obsessed with since you were a little child . i 'd say that gives me the advantage . [ scene_break ] carly : do you think we should tell her ? sonny : uh -- yeah . carly : i mean , it seems counterproductive not to tell her . sonny : yeah . right . tell her . carly : i mean , the whole town is going to know eventually . sonny : yeah . alexis : tell me what ? carly : sonny and i got back together last night . i 'm predicting a remarriage by christmas . it 'll be our fourth . alexis : what about jax ? sonny : nah . carly : he was just a speed bump on my road to true love . i want you to know that sonny and i are remaking our stable home , and it 's ready for kristina at any time . michael and morgan are going to be so thrilled to have their little sister there they can mold into their adorable images . i 'm sorry -- `` thrilled `` is a really bad word to use right now . i mean , i know that you would rather raise kristina on your own , but at least you have the next best thing -- kristina 's dad and her new mommy . i am so excited , i have to tell you . i mean , this is the daughter i 've always wanted . and as soon as kristina comes to live with us , i 'm going to take her on a shopping spree and i 'm going to teach her how to use credit cards . we 're going to buy a whole new mommy - and - daughter wardrobe , and i might even dye her hair blond . what do you think about that ? sonny : and i 'm sorry , alexis , you did n't hear it from me . it 's just that you were facing death , and it was happy news , and -- you know , your position right now . carly : and as soon as krissie turns 16 , i 'm going to train her at the hotel -- a `` start from the bottom up `` type of thing . you know what ? she can start sweeping hair at the salon -- sonny : yeah , yeah . carly : and then help the maids do all the laundry and the -- and the sheets . alexis : funny . that 's -- that 's good . that 's comedy . you 're not raising my daughter . she 's not raising my daughter . sonny : is that any way to show gratitude to a woman who -- who wants to raise your child ? alexis : i get it . i get it . get out . out . sonny : we -- carly : take care . i think it worked . [ scene_break ] lulu : gee , professor . this tough - love strategy of yours is absolutely brilliant . i feel so much better now that you 've put my abortion in perspective for me . and thank you for pointing out that i 'm too stupid to know how to read a book . that 's actually an amazing observation for someone who has n't even tested me yet . i guess , in addition to your perfection in all worldly matters , you 're a psychic , too . pete : well , someone as self - involved as you are is easy to read . you might as well wear a sign around your neck . lulu : oh , and i bet it says `` spoiled , ignorant , little drama queen , `` right ? you think you got me nailed , professor , but i 'm going to surprise you . i 'm going to ace your pompous class and have you eating my oh - so - ignorant dust . pete : somehow , i do n't think so . [ scene_break ] maxie : elizabeth , can i talk to you for a second ? elizabeth : nope . maxie : i know you 're not going to make this easy for me . elizabeth : what do you want , maxie ? maxie : i already apologized to lucky , and i just want to do the same for you . i 'm really sorry about how i went about telling my dad about me and lucky . i should n't have done that . i was just angry and hurt , and i -- i did n't mean for him to lose his job . elizabeth : i know . maxie : well -- you 're being kind of cool about this . just so you know , i think lucky should go to rehab , too . elizabeth : if you think i 'm in any way `` cool `` about what you did to my husband and my marriage , you are sorely mistaken . as long as i draw breath , i will never forget it . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't like carrying this anger . but you know i 'm not good at hiding my feelings . sam : jason , you should n't have to . feelings are what they are . you know , there was a time when this would have been really easy for me and -- and i would 've been able to put all of my energy into this , but i ca n't , jason . i do n't have the energy to put into it . every time we take a step forward , we take two steps back . this is n't working . this is starting to hurt worse than it did before . jason : i understand . [ sam sighs ] jason : you know i have my own issues i have to deal with , but none of this means i -- i do n't still care about you . sam : i know . [ sam sighs ] [ scene_break ] maxie : first you say you 're glad lucky lost his job , which is not a very wifely response . and then you turn on me because i slept with your husband . i mean , no wonder lucky was confused . elizabeth : no , honey , lucky was confused because he was addicted to drugs . and if you 're confused now , let me clarify . i ca n't stand you for the way you manipulated a bad situation to your own advantage , and when it did n't work out your way , you went running to your father , who then fired lucky from the force -- which was exactly what he needed to bottom out . and the only place he had left to turn was to rehab so , in a very weird and twisted way , i should be thanking you -- the girl who made lucky worse . life is full of ironies . maxie : so are you going to take him back when he gets out of rehab ? elizabeth : that 's none of your business , now , is it ? lulu : so , you 're the slut who was having sex with my brother . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . jax : hey . carly : uh -- has alexis called you ? jax : no . is she going to ? carly : yeah . she 's probably going to call you and -- uh -- well , you should probably hear it from me . but i 've got to warn you , you 're going to hate it . you -- you are going to hate it . jax : ok . carly : maybe you should sit down just for a minute . jax : no , i 'm fine standing , thanks . carly : it was sonny 's idea , ok ? i want you to know this was sonny 's idea . jax : ok , you 're right , i hate it already . carly : well , you were right . sonny went straight to alexis to try and convince her to have chemo and , of course , hardheaded alexis did n't listen to anything he had to say . so sonny called me and asked me to help him with a little bit of shock therapy . so to freak out alexis , i -- we pretended like we were back together . and i kind of went on and on about how -- um -- i 'm so excited that she 's eventually going to die because she 's not going to have chemo , and then i 'll get the daughter that i always wanted . jax : wow . ahem . that must 've been a shock . carly : i even threw in there that i was probably going to dye kristina 's hair blond . jax : really ? oh . carly : are you mad ? [ scene_break ] bernie : i -- i just think we need to -- to be more hands - on . you -- did you hear what i said ? sonny : yeah , i heard you loud and clear . we 'll talk about it later . bernie : rome is burning ; i ca n't get anybody to listen . jason : was that about vista del playa ? sonny : we ca n't get our money out , and bernie thinks we 're going to have the same problem with our casinos in puerto rico . they killed alfonso . yeah , he 's not going to be the last if we do n't take action now . jason : i 'll take care of puerto rico . this would be a good time for me to leave town , anyway . [ scene_break ] ric : where 's alexis ? sam : took her in for some tests . ric : so , what was that all about before ? why the hell did you walk out of the meeting ? i mean , it 's exactly what alexis wants us to do -- is try to have a normal flow while she 's trying to get better -- and you purposefully flake on something that 's very , very important to her ? sam : are you kidding me ? it was important to you , ric . you told me that kristina was in trouble with school . you said that she had a -- she had a teacher that i had to meet with . you said you had a meeting to go to . you stuck me with some charity director who wanted money and time , time that we do not have right now . and then to add insult to injury , you put -- you put your hands on my leg -- ric : oh , that was -- sam : just so jason could see . how dare you . [ scene_break ] elizabeth 's voice : ooh , that is no fair ! you can throw farther . lucky : hey , you started it . you ca n't wimp out now . elizabeth : ah ! who you calling a wimp ? lucky : i 'm storming the barricade ! elizabeth : oh -- retreat , retreat ! lucky : hey -- elizabeth : ok , ok -- lucky : ah . elizabeth : the white flag . oh -- wave the white flag . lucky : ok , why do n't we call a truce ? elizabeth : how about i stuff this snowball down the front of your -- lucky : oh , no , no . how about we say you do n't ? elizabeth : and why not ? [ scene_break ] lulu : you have no idea how much pain you caused my family . lucky and elizabeth have been changed forever because you were needy and bored . maxie : you have no idea what happened between me and lucky . lulu : ok . fine , i 'll tell you what i know . you targeted a married man and got him hooked on drugs so you could trick him into bed with you . maxie : oh , lulu , you really need to get off your high horse . i mean , you have no room to talk -- you targeted my sister 's husband , lied to him , tricked him into sleeping with you , and even worse , you got pregnant and had an abortion . and you 're calling me a slut ? you 're no paragon of virtue so your judgment rings just a little hollow . bye . [ scene_break ] alexis : thank you . sam : um -- ric : i -- i do n't know -- i do n't know what you heard or what it was -- sam : what you just walked in on -- it just -- it was n't -- ric : it was n't anything , really . alexis : obviously , the two of you were fighting about something . i do n't know what it was . do n't want to know . probably a good idea for you two to get along . i mean , it -- it would be best for the family . ric : well , hey , i 'd like to try myself . i 'm sure sam would , too . sam : if -- if i -- if we have to try and work on this family thing , then i think you should try , too . i just do n't understand why you are so insistent on refusing chemo . and i -- i do get that there is a chance that it 'll leave you too weak to fight off the pneumonia , but i think there 's a bigger chance -- and we all know this -- that if you do n't fight this aggressively , it could kill you . ric : ok , i think she already knows that , sam . you do n't have to remind her . it 's not based on your comfort . sam : i resent that . ric : well , then stop doing it , ok ? alexis : stop it , both of you . i 've thoroughly investigated all of the treatment options and i 've made a decision . [ scene_break ] carly : are you going to say something ? are you mad ? jax : no , i just -- you know , i might not agree with your methods , but i get the intent . you know , you care enough to want to help , even though alexis is n't your favorite person . you think she changed her mind ? carly : i do n't know . it 's hard to say with her . jax : you know , it 's just -- it 's interesting that sonny 's solution would be to ask you for help . carly : i would n't read anything into it . jax : oh , i 'm not . i 'm just , you know , pointing out that you two seem to be finding it easier to , you know , be in the same room together . you even managed to convince a skilled attorney that you 're an item again , and then you went your own separate ways , so -- yeah , it 's good that you 're getting along . it 's good . carly : are you done ? jax : yeah . carly : i happened to have a really , really hard time selling that i was in love with sonny . jax : really ? carly : yeah , you want to know why ? jax : yeah . why ? carly : because i 'm in love with someone else . jax : who would that be ? carly : you . jax : me ? you love me ? carly : mm - hmm . jax : yeah ? how much do you love me ? hmm ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you do n't have to go to puerto rico . i 'm going to go . jason : sonny , i know all the players . i had to handle them while you were out of commission . and i meant what i said about needing the time away . sonny : i ca n't give it to you , not this time . jason : why not ? sonny : i need to make my presence felt . the situation here is a lot more explosive than what 's going on in puerto rico . that 's why you have to stay here , keep a lid on alcazar . he may perceive our situation as weak , and you know what ? he may even take action -- jason : alcazar is not ready to move . i can go down there ; i can be back by the time he does any -- sonny : jason -- i 'm not going to let you run away from sam . [ scene_break ] alexis : it 's no wonder that you 're fighting . i 'm sure the hospital 's getting on your nerves -- thank you -- it 's certainly getting on mine . i 'm tired of this hospital , i 'm tired of the diagnoses , i 'm tired of it all , and i 'm scared that i 'm going to feel even worse than i -- i do now . i 'm scared that i 'm going to fall into another coma and this time i 'm not going to wake up , which is why i -- i do n't want to have the chemo . but all 500 people that i 've asked think that i 'm making a mistake . they 're people that i respect , people that i love , people that i care about , people that i ca n't even tolerate all think that i should have the chemo . so i am going to go with the majority , and i 'm going to trust that . i 'm going to do the chemo . sam : wow . uh -- i am so glad to hear that . ric : yeah , so am i . alexis : well , you know , this is n't going to be a picnic because i 'm going to be drained physically and emotionally , so i 'm going to need your support , both of you . ric : well , you do n't need to ask . alexis : i think i do . you two need to stop fighting and find some way to coexist , because i 'm asking you to . sam : i 'll give you anything you need . ric : we both will . [ scene_break ] jason : i get that sam has to be around ric because of the circumstances and they 're connected through family . but when i see them together , i want -- i want to kill somebody . sonny : and you -- you 've talked this over with sam ? jason : yes , i 've talked over and over , but you know what the thing is ? when we 're alone , it 's -- it 's ok . sonny : right . jason : it 's actually starting to get a little better . but then she 'll say his name or i 'll see them together , and i get angry and i change , and she sees it in my eyes . and i know that she 's under a lot of stress right now . she just thinks it 's better that we do n't even try . that 's why it would be best for both of us if i left town . sonny : that 's not good for business or you . you 're not going to forget about sam just because you go on a trip to puerto rico . as a matter of fact , you 're going to be distracted , surrounded by a bunch of hotheads who already have a problem with you running the organization . jason : what , are you saying you do n't trust me down there ? sonny : no , it 's not about that . i 'm looking at things objectively . i have to make an appearance as a show of strength , and you got to do the same thing by staying here . [ jason sighs ] jason : ok . sonny : and i understand that , you know , anger consumes you . but sometimes you got to , you know , take a step back and look at things from the outside in , and you may figure out that the anger you feel is not as strong as how you and sam feel about each other . as long as you got that , you know , things may work out . unless you let a third party take it away . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] jax : no more distractions ? carly : oh , one more thing . jax : no , no , no , no -- no , no , no . carly : no , wait , wait , wait . now , i give you my heart . singer : you just stand in my doorway i fight to keep my temper i try to figure what to say please believe me and tell me yourself i do n't please believe me that chances are you 'll lose yourself lose yourself to someone else who made that mistake and i am sorry from the time it takes to give it back somewhere i do n't know if i can stay anymore [ next_on ] maxie : does anyone know what rehab facility lucky 's in ? robin : is n't it past visiting hours ? lucky : i 'm in the drug rehab center across the way . emily : you 're pregnant ? why did n't you tell me ? alcazar : why do n't you come up with a good reason why i should let you live , or i will kill you where you stand .

[ sonny chuckles ] sonny : can you get that for me ? i just -- it 's a critical time right now . kate : uh - huh , i understand . sonny : damn it . kate : what ? sonny : it 's another text message . kate : `` nanny got the phone cord . who comes next ? `` phone cord ? sonny : leticia was killed by a phone cord , right ? and the police never released that information , so the only way this freak would know that is if he 's the real killer . [ scene_break ] emily : are you sure that you do n't remember anything between the time you saw me at the metro court and finding yourself outside of the coffeehouse ? nikolas : no -- nothing . it 's happened twice before , too -- earlier today and then -- and then the night that sonny 's nanny was murdered . [ scene_break ] jax : forget about your loyalty to jason and tell me where my wife is . spinelli : okay , if i enlighten the white knight about the valkyrie 's whereabouts and you show up in a highly emotional state , it 'll just make things worse . jax : oh , and showing up with a loaded gun that you do n't know how to use is n't helping things , either , is it ? spinelli : okay , look , the -- the jackal trained at the feet of the master . i am well - versed in all things stone cold , from firearms to hiding secret pain . jax : oh -- you really know how to use this thing ? where 's the safety ? hmm ? spinelli : well -- jax : do you even know how to change the clip ? spinelli : wait , i know that one . jax : we do n't have time for this , spinelli . okay ? carly 's in trouble . now , unless jason is on his way to help her , he would want you to tell me where she is . now , where is she ? spinelli : okay . uh -- fair lulu was hitchhiking out of town to escape the pain inflicted by someone completely unworthy of her mind and spirit -- okay , okay . she was picked up by the spawn of the dark warlord zacchara . jax : zacchara 's son is in town ? spinelli : yeah , and the valkyrie learned that the blond one was still in contact with the warped one via text message , so your valkyrie pretended to be the blond one , set up a meeting , and is now in the park as we speak about to meet -- wait -- oh . [ scene_break ] carly : you do n't need to hide behind me . johnny : i want to make sure you 're in on the fun when the shooting starts . carly : i came alone ! johnny : you went through a lot of trouble to get me here . why ? carly : lulu 's my cousin and you 're trouble she does n't need . johnny : huh . how do you know ? [ scene_break ] logan : what are you doing here ? lulu : um -- ahem -- scott , uh , called kelly 's looking for you and he wanted me to pass along the message and it sounded important , so i wanted to tell him that i could n't find you but i guess scott had better luck . logan : you did n't have to go to all that trouble . lulu : well , i knew that you guys were waiting for the dna test to come back from the lab and since scott was leaving messages all over town for you , i figured the results came in and i wanted -- i did n't think that you should wait longer than you had to . logan : i know why you did it . you 're a good person , lulu . i did n't think you 'd stop caring about me just because i messed everything up . lulu : well , i got to get back to kelly 's . georgie 's shift ended an hour ago and mike 's there all alone , so i -- i hope everything worked out the way that you wanted -- logan : thank you . lulu : logan , wait . [ scene_break ] kate : well , the message certainly appears to have come from the killer , but it could also be a hoax . sonny : i told you nobody but the cops know that leticia was strangled by a phone cord . kate : well , except the district attorney . is it possible that ric could be using information from the crime scene ? he 'd have access to the evidence . he could be using it to manipulate you . sonny : ric is a sick freak , but even he would n't do this . it came from the killer .

[ scene_break ] carly : nikolas and i were having a discussion . nadine : oh , a private discussion right out here in public . carly : it 's my hotel . i can have a conversation wherever i want . nadine : if you do n't mind a simple observation , there are conversations , and then there are conversations . and that one seemed a little up close and personal . not that it 's any of my business . carly : you 're right . it 's not . nadine : it 's just that nikolas has n't really mentioned you hardly at all . i mean , he 's never even brought up your name , but you obviously know each other extremely well , so this whole thing has been going on behind my back . not really behind my back exactly because no one 's made any promises to each other . it 's just that to come in here and see this after last night , i mean , this morning , and -- i 've done everything wrong since i woke up this morning , and -- carly : nothing is going between me and nikolas , okay ? nothing . nadine : oh , i know what i saw . carly : what you saw -- he had a wrinkle in his collar , and it was distracting me , so i smoothed it out . nadine : oh , i 'm sure you did . [ scene_break ] jax : well , well , i just sailed past spoon island . you were right . you have a great view of my hotel . which is n't to say i 'm interested in selling . nikolas : perhaps you are n't , but carly might be . jax : you did n't approach her , did you ? nikolas : oh , yes , why would n't i ? she 's co - owner . she has an equal say in what happens to the property . jax : you 're unbelievable , cassadine . you 're like a kid who ca n't get his way , so you 're pitting one parent against the other . is that what you 're doing ? nikolas : carly actually made a similar observation , but you 're both mistaken . this is about business and nothing more . jax : no , this is nothing more than a whim for you . it means nothing . to carly and i , we 've put a great deal into the metro court . nikolas : she actually said that , too . but she did n't turn me down . jax : well , she will . i 'm not going to allow you to take advantage of her .

[ scene_break ] olivia : okay , here 's what i do n't understand . how -- how could you see kate lying there shot and be thinking about going out and shooting someone else ? sonny : what do you want me to do ? turn the other cheek ? olivia : that 's not an option ? i think that would be the safest thing for everyone involved . sonny : i did that with michael . my oldest son . i 'm not his biological father , but that does n't matter . i love him the same . i married his mother . olivia : carly told me about michael . sonny : i 'm sure she told you a lot of things . did she tell you that i promised to give michael a good life ? olivia : i 'm sure that you did your best . sonny : yes , i tried . yes . but the business always came first . no matter -- you know , well , look , carly and i fought all the time , but that little boy knew how much he was loved . but he had a lot of chaos in his life . one day he picked up a gun , and i lost it . olivia : you did n't hit him ? sonny : what do you mean ? i would never hit a boy . but i did get -- you know , hey , i said to my kid , `` you pick up a gun again , you get caught . you better run . `` make a long story short , that 's what he did . olivia : your son ran away ? sonny : we got him back , eventually . and i decided i wanted to be a better influence in his life , so he wanted to spend a night with me . and so i took him to the coffee warehouse . kate was there . somebody shot at me . it ricocheted . now he 's in a bed at the aftercare institute in manhattan . olivia : that 's got to be hell . sonny : yes , it is . and after michael got shot , i could have retaliated , but i signed over my business to jason because i wanted to get away from the violence . turn the other cheek . and look what happened , olivia . you see kate ? that 's proof . patrick : hey , how 's kate ? have you noticed any changes ? sonny : not yet . olivia : thanks for what you did , doctor . patrick : you 're welcome . olivia : so , is she going to be able to walk ? patrick : there 's no damage to her spinal cord . olivia : how soon will she be able to wake up ? patrick : it should be any minute . she might be a little disoriented . so , like i said , sonny , i would be aware of what she was trying to tell me before surgery . sonny : yeah , well -- olivia : what was she trying to say ? patrick : honestly , i 'm not sure , but it seemed important . it was something she wanted me to tell sonny . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal is aware that stone cold considers mr. sir a mentor , and maybe even a father figure . but one can not avoid the potential for a deadly oedipal conflict , the shedding of blood , the dark power of -- jason : you running a fever again ? spinelli : no , i am quite well . spleen - less , but well . jason : okay , can you stop babbling about the greek stuff ? spinelli : it is relevant to the situation and indeed , a strong example of how a similar tragedy could be avoided . see , if oedipus had just guided his wagon around that of his father on the road to thebes , blind tiresias ' prophecy would have never been fulfilled . oedipus would have never killed his father , however unknowing . stone cold has a similar opportunity to avoid a potential conflict , and by doing so , save himself . jason : so are you saying do n't challenge sonny ? spinelli : continuing to refuse to go after comrade karpov could lead to mr. sir turning his wrath on you . and knowing you , you might not defend yourself . so just maybe if you bend to mr. sir 's will , he 'd be placated . jason : so are you saying i should do what 's easiest for me ? spinelli : easy is a relative term . jason : okay , if i give in to sonny , i 'm taking the coward 's way out . [ scene_break ] sonny : i wonder what kate was trying to tell me . olivia : i think the important thing is , what are you going to tell her ? sonny : everything . olivia : starting from exactly where ? sonny : starting probably from the beginning , okay ? this is , you know , that 's what i always loved about you , olivia , you never push too hard . [ knock on door ] mac : how 's she doing ? sonny : she 's going to live . mac : glad to hear it . look , i know this is a bad time , but i need to finish up on the statements of the shooting from both of you . olivia : i already told you everything i know . mac : sonny has n't . [ scene_break ] anna : hi . there you are . robin : hey , mom . anna : so why are n't you ready ? because we 've got to finish up shopping for the closet -- nursery . robin : yeah , i know . i know . anna : uh , what is it ? robin : take a wild guess . anna : did you have a fight with patrick ? robin : no , no . no , we did n't have a fight . he 's wonderful . he 's sweet and reasonable and -- oh , yeah , by the way , he saved kate howard 's life by performing a very complex surgery today . anna : wow . so why are n't we shopping , then ? robin : because he gave me the thing that i told him i wanted . anna : okay . robin : i asked patrick to marry me . and he said no . [ scene_break ] sonny : i did n't see anything . mac : no , you never do . sonny : kate was walking down the aisle . the wedding started . there was a shot , and she fell in my arms , mac . mac : how about you ? do you remember anything since we last spoke ? olivia : no . mac : so have you made any new enemies in the coffee business ? sonny : no . mac : have you received any threats ? sonny : no . mac : any deals fall apart ? any serious disagreements ? sonny : no . mac : you 're lying , sonny . which should n't surprise me . [ mac chuckles ] sonny : i can not help you , mac . what do you want me to say ? mac : you know , it seems naive , but i honestly thought that after what happened to michael , you would 've been out of the business . or at least you would 've wanted to be . sonny : do you have anymore questions ? mac : why bother , huh ? you 're stonewalling , which tells me you know exactly who did this and you 're planning to retaliate on your own . olivia : look , could you please focus a little bit less on all the ways that sonny 's wrong , and a little bit more on finding the person who is responsible for my cousin getting shot ? mac : that would be sonny . no ? what -- what , you honestly thought you could have both , huh ? a life in the mob and a high - profile wife ? kate had no idea what she was walking into . which means sonny corinthos is doing business as usual . olivia : seems like he knows you pretty well . sonny : i got some place i got ta be . can you -- can you stay with her ? olivia : i would n't be anywhere else . sonny : can you do me a favor ? if kate wakes up , just tell her i love her . [ scene_break ] anna : see , it 's very hard to keep track . i mean , first of all , you turned patrick down over the p.a . system . robin : what an idiot . what an idiot . me , not him . anna : and then you continued to turn him down every time he asked , which is quite frequently , apparently . and then , now he 's stopped asking . robin : i know . it makes no sense , right ? anna : mm - hmm . robin : but i was with sonny today , and everything -- it just hit me . you know , how lucky i am to have an opportunity to marry someone like patrick . anna : oh , robin . you do n't know how happy that makes me to hear you say that , because really , i was beginning to worry . robin : really ? anna : yes . robin : because look at all the time that i 've wasted , being stubborn about the wrong things . and if anyone should know how short life is , it should be me , right ? and i should be trying to live every second instead of trying to protect myself and trying to push away the one person that i should be holding onto . and i just realized , you know -- yeah , that the world , it 's a very scary place . but that just means that i should hold on to him even more so , right ? anna : mm - hmm . you got all that from sonny corinthos ? robin : come on , i know you do n't like him very much . anna : oh , i am not in a position to judge him . you know , considering that i was in love with duke all those years ago . but he is a very dangerous man , and i would hate for you to get close to him . literally . robin : sonny 's done some pretty bad things in his life . anna : mm - hmm . robin : he 's also suffered some terrible losses . i would n't wish his life on anyone . anna : yeah . robin : but that 's what made me realize how lucky i am to have the life that i do . i 'm healthy , despite being hiv positive . i have a healthy baby on the way . anna : mm - hmm . robin : patrick loves me . anna : yeah . robin : the only thing standing in our way was me . until today . and now it 's patrick . although i ca n't say i blame him . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal fails to see how dispatching comrade karpov could be seen as an act of cowardice . jason : because i would n't be doing it because it 's right or it 's smart . i would be doing it because i want to keep sonny as my friend , and i want to please him , spinelli . we do n't even have all the facts . if i go to war , i 'm going to be hurting everyone . people who work for me , people who are close to me . so i guess it comes down to this -- either i betray them , or i betray him . spinelli : perhaps in the event of comrade karpov 's demise , his associates would be too intimidated to retaliate . a conflict with mr. sir would be avoided . the attack on the fashionista would be avenged . peace , or something close , would reign . [ cell phone rings ] spinelli : nurse nadine ? hmm . that seems odd . [ cell phone rings ] jason : go ahead , take it . spinelli : ' tis i , the jackal . nadine : spinelli ? it 's nadine crowell . could you meet me on the elm street pier ? like , now ? spinelli : are you in dire distress , or in need of rescue ? nadine : well , not exactly . but i could really use your help -- spinelli : the jackal 's in a meeting -- jason : it 's okay , go . spinelli : are you certain ? nadine : well , yeah i 'm certain , that 's why i called . spinelli : okay , i 'll be there straightaway . jason : i appreciate your thoughts . spinelli : i hope my private meeting with the bernificient one could n't be construed as insubordination of -- jason : no , no , no , not at all . talking this through makes it a little more clear to me , because i ca n't give in to sonny . no matter how much i want to . [ scene_break ] carly : what 's up ? marty said it was urgent . jax : promise that you wo n't sell to nikolas cassadine . carly : that 's why you pulled me out of a conference call with montreal ? jax : yeah , he 's playing us against each other . carly : you know , he made a pretty good offer , jax . why are you so upset about it ? jax : because he 's taking advantage of you , that 's why . carly : i 'm going to try not to be offended by that comment . jax : no , no . he knows that we 're vulnerable because we 're breaking up . that 's why he 's doing this . carly : is n't that what you do every day ? you look for weaknesses in corporations that you want to acquire ? jax : yeah , but -- no , no , this is -- this is personal . okay , the metro court is ours . we rebuilt it together . carly : i love this place . i do n't want to sell out to nikolas cassadine . jax : good . carly : i want you to sell out . [ scene_break ] anna : you 've always been so cautious , even as a child . and i blame myself for that , you know . i mean , if i had given you more stability , then maybe you would n't be so afraid of the future . robin : no , you 're an amazing mother . anna : no , not really . i did my best . but you 're going to a whole lot better . [ robin laughs ] robin : i 'm not so sure about that . anna : yeah . robin : one thing i am sure of is that my life , and my daughter 's life would be better if patrick and i were married . i just have to convince him of that . when he first asked me , why did n't i just say yes ? anna : i do n't know . but he loves you anyway , and you should be happy about that , right ? robin : i mean , how did i create a situation where the man that i 'm in love with and who is in love with me wo n't marry me to save me from myself ? anna : i do n't know . maybe you guys are just trying too hard . if you just slow down a bit and stop second guessing each other -- robin : it 's karma . it 's karma . he 's doing this to me because i did it to him , and -- anna : you just said you loved each other madly . that 's something when you think about it . right ? robin : it 's just so ironic . so typical of me and patrick . the second he refuses to marry me -- i want to marry him . [ anna laughs ] [ scene_break ] carly : i know , when you think about it , this hotel is like a metaphor for our relationship , right ? jax : hmm . carly : you did n't want me to buy in to the metro court , but i did anyway , and once i got here , we realized we could work together . we were strong , we were solid , even when sonny tried to break us up . remember the whole corinthian marble mess ? jax : yes . carly : we even stayed together when your brother blew up the lobby , and generated enough bad press to throw us into bankruptcy . but we were able to keep our heads above water , and we just kept swimming . it 's really sad when you think about it , that we 're breaking up now when the metro court is so incredibly successful , but you know , i guess that 's just how things work out . jax : okay , what does any of this have to do with me selling my shares to nikolas ? carly : because it 's your chance to make a graceful exit , okay ? you can go on with your life , i can go on with mine , and we wo n't be tripping over each other . jax : well , i do n't want to sell . carly : neither do i , okay ? you own properties all over the world . i own the metro court and the belle maison . that means that these properties are more valuable to me than they are to you . jax : i 've put just as much work into the metro court , if not more than you have . carly : i know that , and for a long time , jax , we were able to work together , okay ? no matter what was going on in our marriage . but you 've made it abundantly clear that you do n't enjoy working with me anymore . i feel like i 'm being treated terrible . you feel undercut . we 're both being disrespectful . whatever , man , just cut our losses . you go your way , i 'll go mine . jax : nikolas is -- nikolas is just doing this on a whim . carly : and you 've never done anything on a whim ? you wanted out of this marriage . i never have . this offer is your way out . it 's a nice chunk of change . you get my best wishes and your freedom . is n't that what you want ? [ scene_break ] [ foghorn blows ] spinelli : nurse nadine , are you okay ? nadine : yeah , uh , maybe i should n't have called you . but it 's an emergency . and probably not life or death , but it 's really important . at least , to me . spinelli : okay , but might i inquire as to what i can -- nadine : the launch has already left spoon island . he 'll be here in a second . spinelli : oh , oh , the brooding prince . nadine : yeah , exactly . except he is n't always brooding , especially after last night . it 's just after last night , i thought we had an understanding . and we do , it 's just that what nikolas understood is very different from what i understood . and i need to make him understand on a different level , that even though he has a butler and breakfast in bed and even after last night i 've been -- you have no idea , you really do n't . still , he needs to know that he is not the only game in town . spinelli : okay . nadine : yeah . spinelli : while the jackal can somewhat follow your , well , somewhat circuitous , but not unsound reasoning . i 'm still a little hazy on what nurse nadine expects of me is all . what [ scene_break ] jason : how 's kate ? sonny : she made it through surgery . she was unconscious when i left . dr. drake said she 's going to be -- she 's going to be fine . jason : that 's , uh , that 's good news . i 'm happy for you . sonny : okay , here 's what 's going to happen . this is what i should 've done months ago . i 'm going to tell you what i want you to do . you 're going to do it .

that -- that you , what , you 're suddenly gon na walk away ? elizabeth : he will always be in my heart . sam , please . you need to hear this , and i 'm not leaving until you do . can i come in ? sam : yeah . of course . elizabeth : i manipulated you into getting a divorce so that i could have jason all to myself . mcbain : you 're confident in these results ? i wo n't put this in motion if there 's any doubts . i mean , tea does n't deserve that . sam does n't deserve that . jason : call the lab if you want . the baby in llanview is a dna match . sam 's son is alive . mcbain : that 's good . also means we got a problem . jason : tea . mcbain : oh , man . this is gon na hurt . tea loves that little boy . jason : i just -- i just want sam to have her son back . mcbain : so do i . so how do we tell tea that the child she loves was never hers ? sonny : how can you be married to johnny ? connie : were you always this stupid ? pay attention to me , okay ? we filled out the forms . we filed the paperwork . we are legally we d . sonny : right . carly : this is crazy . i mean , she 's obviously having another breakdown or an episode or something . sonny : just give me a sec . why would you marry johnny when you hate him ? connie : well , kate hates johnny . but lucky for everybody , she checked out of the bridal suite , right ? sonny : checked out ? connie : that 's right . she stood you up at the altar , sonny , literally . i 'm not kate . i 'm connie . do you want to put the doggy inside ? mcbain : tea 's a lawyer . she 's gon na want proof . jason : we got a dna test right here . mcbain : she 's gon na say , `` you know , you got a lot of goofy dna tests going on up there . `` you know , first you have a negative result . now suddenly you have a positive match . jason : run a test in an independent lab . let 's do that . mcbain : i 'm convinced , all right ? i 'm convinced . but then again , i 'm not the mother about to have her child that she 's raised for the last four months taken away from me . we got to do this one by the book , you know , and unfortunately that means we 're gon na have to get evidence that the baby that is buried in the grave is tea 's son . jason : we need to get sam 's permission to exhume the body . mcbain : that was only true when we thought sam was the baby 's mother . sam : elizabeth , i heard you with lulu at kate 's bachelorette party . first there was this thing where jason came on to you and you stopped him because you did n't want to get in between us . elizabeth : we only kissed twice . the first time was the 4th of july , on the bridge . it was right after jason saw you kissing john mcbain . jason kissed me , but then he stopped and he apologized , and that should have been the end of it . sam : i know , but it was n't . elizabeth : and the second time , it was his birthday , and , yes , i kissed him , but he stopped me again then . and then i overheard you telling kristina -- sam : you were eavesdropping on us ? elizabeth : just like you were doing with me and lulu . i told lulu exactly what i wanted you to hear . how your marriage was over and how jason had moved on with me . it was all a lie , sam . tracy : things between me and joseph are complicated . monica : really ? seems awfully simple to me . all you had to do was return that silly little thing and just wash your hands of him . tracy : is everything always so black and white with you ? monica : well , were n't gino soleito and anthony zacchara bad enough , tracy ? did you have to go and get involved with yet another gangster ? tracy : i did n't know he was a gangster . monica : oh , of course ! yes . exactly . because -- wait for it . he lied to you . why do you hang on to such a ridiculous thing ? oh . do n't tell me that you and joseph are going steady . tracy : monica , stop being so petty ! he gave it to me to remember . monica : what ? remember ? remember all the disastrous relationships that you have had ? have n't you learned anything , tracy ? get rid of that and get rid of him . tracy : that is exactly what i went over to his motel to do . monica : you know that god created overnight delivery for a reason . tracy : i needed to see his face ! i wanted to know that he understood that it was over . monica : ah , yes . and let me guess . you walked in , and there was instant connection , and you were drawn to him , and you knew that you understood him above anybody else , and stop me any time . tracy : sit on a tack , monica . monica : and then you had sex . did n't you ? you willingly went to bed with a murderer and a rapist . kristina : put the gun down , and we can work out a deal . no one has to know about this , especially my father . joe jr. : see , i want him to know . i want him to grieve for you and blame himself , because sonny is absolutely to blame . kristina : [ sobs ] joe jr. : you ca n't do what he 's done -- you ca n't build a fortune on the backs of other people , steal their inheritance , destroy their lives , and expect to live happily ever after ! kristina : you do n't have to kill me to take my money . joe jr. : it 's ok -- it 's -- it 's okay . kristina : i 'll get it for you . joe jr. : i give you credit , kristina . you 're a brave girl . you kept fighting to the very end . kristina : [ crying ] joe jr. : close your eyes . trey : dad ? kristina : trey ! trey : dad , what are you doing ? ! joe jr. : son , h - how did you find me ? trey : the motel room . you left a note there . kristina : trey , stop him ! he 's gon na kill me ! joe jr. : i 'm sorry , kid . this is the only way . trey : no , no . w - why ? w - what ? joe jr. : she dies , you inherit everything that sonny corinthos took from you . trey : no , dad , that 's crazy . she has no control -- kristina : i tried to tell him ! joe jr. : you 're both wrong ! i know a few things that you do n't . now , i did n't want to get you involved in this , kid . but do n't worry . it 'll be over in a few seconds . trey : no , no , dad . you want to kill kristina , you 're gon na have to shoot me first . kristina : [ crying ] sonny : kate was integrated . connie : oh , you mean dr. keenan ? what a great shrink he turned out to be , huh ? sonny : she recovered all her memories , and she does n't need you anymore . connie : no , you have it backwards . i do n't need kate anymore . see , i do n't have to hide anymore , sonny , like i 've been hiding for months , only coming out on certain occasions -- with certain people -- like johnny . sonny : what are you talking about ? connie : go on . tell him , baby . go on . johnny and i had so much fun giving you your birthday present , that , um , we 've been hooking up ever since . carly : johnny ? you need to stop this and tell us all that she 's making this up . carly : i mean it , johnny . this has gone on long enough . will you just tell us that she 's lying ? sonny : t - that 's what connie does . she lies . she wants me away from kate . so you want me away from kate so bad that you 're telling me you 're sleeping with johnny , which is not true . connie : i had to sit quiet for months while kate was bleating her love for you , okay ? i needed a little fun time with johnny to keep going every day . sonny : kate would have known if she was losing time . she would have talked to a therapist . connie : oh , dr. keenan ? yeah , he was a little busy , sonny . olivia : i told you she was connie . dante : yeah , i should have believed you . olivia : until right now , i was n't sure i believed me . maxie : oh , that explains the tequila shots and pupu platters . lulu : and the desperate desire to get a stripper . sonny : you could n't have . michael : starr , you okay ? connie : in the beginning , i did n't have a lot of time , so i did a little quickie here and there . but the more i did it , the stronger i got . so kate can keep her therapy , sonny . because johnny 's the only thing i need to put kate to sleep for good . sam : oh , you are good , elizabeth . i was a grifter for years . i really worked on my technique . but i 've got nothing on you . elizabeth : i deeply regret what i did . elizabeth : it 's not too late to stop the divorce . sam : i was holding on to those papers until the night of that bachelorette party . i practically threw them in jason 's face because of what you said . elizabeth : i know ! sam : what are you talking about ? how do you know ? elizabeth : jason told me . i went to see him a little while ago . [ sighs ] i went to see him to convince him -- that you were in a relationship with john mcbain . [ sighs ] mcbain : we need the mother 's permission to exhume the grave , which means i need to go back to llanview and face tea . i need to take this dna test and explain to her how i showed up at her house under false pretense and took a sample of her child that she thought was hers . jason : you want me to go with you ? mcbain : you worried i 'll let her make a run for it ? jason : no , i 'm just saying she might handle it a little better if it 's coming from a stranger . you can be there so she can lean on you . i can be the bad guy . mcbain : why should you do that ? this is not your fault . it 's not tea 's fault . i guess manning can explain to her from his jail cell someday . no , i just want to do this . i just want to get it done with as little damage as possible . jason : she 's about to find out her child died . there 's no way to lessen that damage . mcbain : i know . tea 's my friend . i 'll do it . you should be the one to give sam the good news . joe jr. : enough , son . now get out of the way . trey : no . no , dad . i already told you . if you 're gon na kill kristina , you 're gon na have to shoot me first . joe jr. : do n't you understand ? i 'm doing this for you . i 'm giving you everything that you did n't have when you were growing up . trey : what are you talking about , dad ? i had everything . joe jr. : i could never give you what you deserved , your birthright . trey : dad , i do n't care about what sonny stole from us ! joe jr. : it 's not just about sonny ! all those years that i had to be both parents to you because you did n't have a mom . she left you for dead . everything bad that 's happened to you , to us , happened because of sonny and that woman ! trey : kristina has nothing to do with that ! joe jr. : she 's her father 's child , son ! kristina : [ crying ] joe jr. : kate never cared what happened to you , but sonny will care what happens to kristina . and to lose her on the day he marries kate -- is poetic justice . now , son -- get out of my way ! starr : if that 's connie , she 's the one that 's responsible for killing cole and hope . connie : -- that stupid smile on you face , and then i get the hell out of the bed , and i go see johnny , and we do it in his car or his desk in his office . and you know after he got shot -- sonny : shut up ! connie : -- in the hospital . dante : okay , okay . just -- sonny : no , no , i 'm fine . lulu : connie 's been around for months . how could he not notice ? spinelli : this is a dark day . for connie to vanquish kate and make her presence known at the altar in front of her erstwhile groom 's family and friends . this -- this is a disaster . come on . ellie : it is the most extraordinary wedding i have ever been to . spinelli : um , [ chuckles ] perhaps i should explain . the bride suffers from a very rare -- ellie : dissociative identity disorder , also known as d.i.d . spinelli : d - did you come across that in your studies ? ellie : well , it was in a chapter in one of my textbooks , but i have to admit , i 've gleaned most of my knowledge from daytime television . spinelli : it is a surprising font of information . sonny : fine , connie . you 've been here for months , skipping out of my bed , banging johnny . still does n't explain to me how you got married . carly : she did n't ! she 's lying ! connie : tell her , johnny . [ sing - songy ] tell her . johnny : i 'm sorry . everything she said is true . connie : thank you . dad : hello ! hi ! hi , pretty ! sam : does jason believe you that i 'm in a relationship with john ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] i could n't go through with it . sam : which part , elizabeth ? the lies about me and john ? jason ? i mean , you 're gon na have to be specific here , because you 've dumped a lot on me . elizabeth : i - i told him that i tricked you into serving the divorce papers . i told him i -- that i never heard you say you were with john mcbain -- that actually it was quite the opposite , that you said there was hope between you and jason . sam : i do n't know why -- why , if you almost had everything you wanted , why ? elizabeth : because everything that i have done has been a complete betrayal . a betrayal of my history with jason , a betrayal of our son and the love we had for him . i just needed to stop lying . i 've lied to jason and to myself , to another mother . sam : `` another mother `` ? what -- what ? my -- my baby died . you know that . w - what does that have to do with lying to me and jason ? mcbain : i know you did n't want to give sam false hope , but now you got proof . jason : soon as i tell sam her son 's alive , she 's gon na want to go to him . mcbain : she 's gon na make it worse for tea , but there 's no easy way to do this . jason : [ sighs ] i was thinking that i could just , you know , wait to tell sam , but it just -- it does n't feel right to let her go on believing that her baby 's dead . tracy : all right , i had a moment of weakness with joseph . monica : well , congratulations , tracy . your dreadful taste in men has now reached an all - time low . tracy : i -- did n't mean to . i could n't help myself . monica : really ? that 's your excuse ? you were powerless to resist his masculine charms . i hope there was a couch for you to faint on there . tracy : oh , monica , please . could we skip the rending of garments and the gnashing of teeth ? i let it go too far . you 're right . monica : yes , i am , because he is a criminal . he is a violent , dangerous psychopath . tracy : well , that 's according to sonny corinthos . according to joseph , he 's a victim of circumstance . monica : you did n't believe him , did you ? joe jr. : i 'm done talking about this , trey . now move out of the way ! trey : dad , i 'm not gon na let you kill kristina to get back at sonny and kate . joe jr. : you do n't understand , son . trey : i do n't care about the money . okay , i love the way that i grew up . i do n't care that i did n't have a mom , that we did n't have all the money in the world . all that matters , dad , is that every day , when i got home from school -- you were there -- in your shop . i had you , dad . joe jr. : you do n't know what you were missing . you know , once we get kristina 's money , the sky 's the limit . it 'll be you and me , joey , together again . you know , five - star hotels , penthouse suite , v.i.p . everything . a - and more important than the cash is the power that comes with it . trey : dad , if you think for a second i 'm gon na let you kill kristina and then go away with you on some vacation -- joe jr. : you 'll finally have the life that you should have had -- the good life . trey : you pull that trigger , i go straight to the cops . joe jr. : you would n't do that to me , son . trey : you 're right , dad . because i 'm not gon na let it get that far . joe jr. : no ! kristina : trey , no ! stop ! he 'll hurt you ! trey ! trey ! [ gunshot ] kristina : no ! carly : everything connie said is true ? everything ? connie : [ gasps ] do you remember the ceremony , with the waves crashing against the boat and the smell of the sea air ? see , that 's what they call déja vu all over again . do you remember when you were calling me and i did n't answer because you would n't leave me alone ? that 's because i was busy marrying the man of my dreams , which , if you did n't notice , is not you . sonny : you really want me to believe that you married that son of a bitch ? connie : yeah ! what , you want proof ? sonny : yeah , i want proof . connie : okay . understandable . see , this is my marriage license . there you go . oh , `` bride , constanza falconeri . groom , john zacchara . `` sonny : you expecting anybody 's gon na believe this ? connie : only the state of new york . sonny : alexis , come here . tell me , is this real ? alexis : [ sighs ] it 's real . connie : that 's what i 've been saying . thank you . sonny : so , what was the point ? why did you walk down the aisle with me ? connie : oh , well , you see , um -- your birthday party -- that was just the beginning . having you eat dirt on your wedding day -- that 's the big finish . so , tell me now , sonny , how 's it feel ? huh ? do n't spare any details . i want you to tell my hubby and i every last humiliating detail . huh ? we got you good , did n't we ? sonny : johnny -- why did -- alexis : sonny ! [ glasses shattering ] connie : stop ! get away from him ! alexis : stop it ! sonny : get up ! johnny : [ coughs ] sonny : come on ! johnny : [ coughing ] alexis : on behalf of everyone , i would like to apologize . sonny 's weddings have a tendency to get a little off track . judge newcomb : no apologies necessary . sonny : hey ! max : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . milo : it 's okay , boss . max : we 'll take of zacchara later . johnny : carly . connie : johnny , here . let me help you . johnny : [ grunts ] connie : steve , you 're a doctor . get over here . steve : i 'm not here in a professional capacity . connie : excuse me ? my husband is recovering from a gunshot wound . i want you to make sure there 's no lasting damage . steve : do n't worry . he 'll live . connie : `` he 'll live `` ? oh , that 's great . thank you . great bedside manner . baby , are you okay ? johnny : i 'm fine . connie : better safe than sorry . 'cause i 'm gon na take you home to bed . although i do n't imagine we 'll get much sleep tonight . carly : you 're crazy . they should 've locked you up last time and not let you out . connie : hurts , do n't it , carly , to find the love of your life has been playing you for a fool ? carly : is that what you 've been doing , johnny , huh ? ! connie : why do n't you tell her , sweetie ? tell her how you could n't wait to get away from her and come running to me . starr : you 're a bitch ! i 'm gon na make you pay for killing cole and hope . you understand me ? connie : whoa ! whoa . i thought you and me were good . forgive and forget . starr : no , no , no . i forgave kate because she was sick . i will never ever forgive you , you bitch ! i 'm gon na kill you , you bitch ! connie : help me ! kristina : oh , my god ! trey ! trey , are you all right ? ! trey : it 's not me . dad ? i shot you . no , dad . dad -- my god . what have i done ? tracy : he 's not a killer . he 's not a rapist . when i 'm with him , he 's gentle and sweet . i ca n't imagine him forcing himself on anybody . monica : well , why should he have to when you 're throwing yourself at him all the time ? tracy , please , you ca n't keep ignoring the facts . he is joe scully jr. , son of a mobster , and do n't for a moment think that he has left that world . tracy : he has assured me that he has . monica : oh , you can not be that naive . you 've got way too many miles on you . tracy : oh , hello , pot . meet kettle . and by the way , you are not known for your flawless taste in men . monica : it 's going to be just a matter of time before he involves you in his dirty dealings , which in turn will involve our family . and we have seen enough mob violence to last a lifetime . tracy : yes . we have . thanks to your son . monica : do n't you dare bring jason into this . there 's absolutely no comparison between jason and your gangster . and i am warning you , tracy , you get rid of that man . tracy : are you threatening me ? monica : yes . trey : i 'm gon na call an ambulance . you 're gon na be okay . joe jr. : [ grunts ] trey : okay ? joe jr. : joey -- trey : i 'm gon na get you out of this , okay ? stay with me . look , we 'll say it 's a misunderstanding . i 'm gon na make up an excuse . the gun went off by accident . just -- i 'm gon na get you out of this . just stay with me . starr : you killed cole and hope -- michael : starr , stop ! starr : i will make you pay for what you did ! michael , let go of me ! johnny , how could you do this to me ? ! you married the woman that killed my little girl ? ! my precious little girl ! why would you do that ? ! michael : starr , let 's go . you do n't have to be here . l - let 's go . starr : i will make you pay , connie ! i will make you pay ! connie : w - what ? what , my husband 's not gon na help me ? i want you to kiss my boo - boo . seems like the least you can do after i got attacked for killing those two people . sonny : feel good about yourself there , johnny ? taking advantage of kate , knowing that she 's mentally ill . carly : this is why you wanted me to run away with you last night , is n't it ? spinelli : you know , i 'm sorry . this is turning into a disastrous first date . ellie : are you kidding ? this is the kind of first date you tell your grandkids about . sonny : okay , i 'm gon na have you committed to shadybrook . i 'm gon na fly in specialists from all over the world . i do n't care what it takes . i 'm gon na do it . the shrinks are gon na beat you down , connie , until kate comes back to me . sam : elizabeth , wait . you just said that you could n't lie to another mother . what does that mean ? elizabeth : i know what it feels like to lose a child , and i do n't want to add to your pain . sam : would you care so much if jason had n't already turned you down ? elizabeth : sam , i do n't expect you to forgive me . but i am so sorry for everything . sam : [ sighs ] i 'm in absolutely no -- position to judge . you know that . i 've made my mistakes . i -- elizabeth : i appreciate your understanding . sam : i am grateful that you told me the truth . elizabeth : i hope very soon you see just how far jason has gone to make things right for you . you 're gon na get back everything you lost . sam : not everything . elizabeth : you 'll see . jason : listen , i appreciate you getting that sample , and i know that the hardest part 's gon na be telling tea . mcbain : oh , you do n't know tea . jason : i know enough . i know what it 's like to lose a child . mcbain : tea 's always gon na be that little boy 's mother in her heart . but sam is his mother , and she 's gon na get her son back . that 's all that matters . jason : [ sighs ] it 's the little things in life that make me smile . sonny : i do n't know why you were in such a hurry to get married , 'cause where you 're going , you do n't need a husband . connie : oh , that 's the sonny i know and love . you big man , you snap your fingers , you expect the world to do whatever you want . sonny : what i want is for you to get help , kate . and you 're gon na go to shadybrook , and you 're gon na get help . connie : well , there 's just one problem with that , genius . only my husband can have me committed , and last time i checked , that 's not you . carly : you conniving snake . connie : that 's right ! only johnny boy can have me committed , and you 're not gon na do that , are you , baby ? johnny : no , i 'm not . carly : so this is all true , huh ? johnny : carly , please just -- carly : no , that 's what you said . you said every single word out of connie 's mouth was true . so you 've been sleeping with this skank since april , going behind my back . that 's what you 've been doing ? johnny : yeah . carly : son of a bitch . johnny : carly . sonny : looks like you 're on your own , connie . joe jr. : trey , you ca n't . trey : dad , you 're bleeding . we have to get you to a hospital . joe jr. : no , listen to me , kid ! i 'm not going down for this . trey : no , dad , i told you . do n't worry . we 're gon na make up an excuse , okay . all that matters right now -- joe jr. : i said no ! trey : no , dad ! joe jr. : no ! trey : dad ! kristina : trey , no ! do n't follow him ! please just , trey , let him go ! tracy : what are you gon na do if i do n't stop seeing joseph , evict me again ? monica : i 'm going to tell edward everything . tracy : no , monica . you ca n't do that . daddy has n't been well . monica : just my point . i do n't want to see him blindsided when your gangster boyfriend gets ambushed on the front lawn . tracy : remember all those nice things i said at the hospital ? i take every one of them back . monica : tracy , do you think i want to tell edward that you are cavorting with a criminal , another gangster , no less ? tracy : `` cavorting `` ? monica : well , whatever word you want to take . i ca n't wait to hear you tell him about your sexual chemistry with joseph and how you jeopardizing the family and the family 's name does n't mean anything to you , because you 're getting a great roll in the hay . i wonder how long it 's gon na take to break edward 's heart . tracy : daddy ca n't know this . monica : well , then get that man out of your life before it brings this family down . connie : oh , come on . sonny : connie 's bluffing . there 's no way she 's been sleeping with johnny since april because i 've watched kate . i 've seen her progress . it 's all a lie . alexis : but the marriage certificate is n't . it 's legal , as much as i wish it were n't . sonny : she was not in her right state of mind . johnny was taking advantage of her , right ? alexis : i get that , but he 's the only one that has the power to have her committed right now , and i 'm quite certain she knew that when she married him , right ? connie : yeah , trust me . there are many other reasons , aside from johnny 's performance between the sheets . and on any flat surfaces , really . but i have to admit , being legally protected from involuntary commitment from sonny was a major incentive . i mean , johnny and me , we 're just , um , we 're a match made in heaven . shawn : is that why johnny boy hightailed it out of here to catch up with carly ? sonny : what about olivia ? olivia : me ? sonny : you 're a blood relative . connie : are you kidding me ? she 's got a standing reservation in the loony bin . olivia : i 'm not crazy . i 'm not crazy . steve : olivia knew she was connie before anyone else did . sonny : alexis , can she have her committed ? alexis : it 's possible she could be made kate 's guardian ad litem , but having max and milo drag her out of here involuntarily is not gon na sit well with any judge . connie : i could have told you that . sonny : let -- dante : all right , thank you . thanks for letting me know . lulu : is something wrong , aside from the obvious ? dante : there 's a report of shots fired at my father 's warehouse . kristina : [ voice wavering ] i thought he just wanted a r - ransom . i - i could n't believe it when he pulled out the gun . just tried to say anything to distract him . he just kept saying he was doing it for you . trey : i had no idea that he was gon na do this , that he -- that he might actually -- kristina : [ crying ] trey : i 'm so sorry . lulu : there 's gunfire at sonny 's warehouse ? dante : yeah . i got to check it out , but i ca n't exactly leave in the middle of this mess . sonny : -- attention for a little bit . i thank you for coming , first of all . i know that it was n't , you know , uh , what i expected or hoped for , but i think the best thing is for everybody to just go ahead and leave . alexis : you sure that 's a good idea ?

[ sniffles ] [ telephone ringing ] robin : i know it 's silly , and i know my mother is n't a god , but ... i 've always seen her as some kind of a superhero . and i keep thinking that at any moment , she 's gon na come busting through that door to take me home . anna : oh , yes . frisco jones , please . robin : [ sighs ] you 'd think that i would get used to [ sighs ] imprisonment , but ... they say some people actually do . but nope . not i . time has n't dulled the ache to be home with the people that i love . i wonder all the time , `` what are they doing ? what are they ... are they even thinking about me ? `` emma : [ giggles ] robin : `` does emma miss me ? `` `` does she even remember me ? `` mac : so , emma , have you decided what you want to be for halloween ? emma : i have n't decided yet . felicia : mm , well , if you ca n't think of something really fabulous , you could always go as an aztec princess . mac : ohh . patrick : wow . sabrina : ooh . patrick : what do you say ? emma : it 's too big . sabrina : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm sure we can get it resized . emma : thank you , aunt felicia . felicia : ohh . patrick : aww . emma : it 's so beautiful . felicia : ohh . sabrina : [ chuckles ] felicia : you 're welcome , sweetheart . emma : daddy , you can wear it till we fix it . patrick : oh , i do n't know if i 'm an aztec - princess type . what do you think ? where 's your wedding ring ? there 's no time i surrender jerry : no telly until you do your homework , doctor . robin : i have been working all day . jerry : well , you may have worked all day , but i gave you this video as an incentive to spur you on , not as a distraction . robin : i am already doing everything that i can . jerry : well , maybe you should do more . need i remind you of the consequences if you fail ? robin : no , it 's not necessary . you 've only reminded me about a thousand times . jerry : cure me ... or you 're never returning to port charles . to put it bluntly , you 'll lose your husband , your daughter , to that beautiful sabrina santiago forever . ellie : i 'm so sorry the christening was difficult . i expected it might be hard for you . i mean , giving up your daughter is painful enough , but then to agree to be her godfather ... spinelli : yeah , the christening was excruciating ... but it was nothing compared to what happened when brad arrived . ellie : brad brad ? as in brad cooper ? what about him ? spinelli : the ceremony had barely concluded when brad arrived and announced to dante and lulu that the baby was n't theirs . emma : did you lose your wedding ring ? patrick : no , i would never lose anything so special . emma : then why are n't you wearing it ? patrick : well , because i 'm not gon na wear it anymore , so i put it in a safe spot so i would never misplace it . emma : why do n't you want to wear it anymore ? patrick : i kept that ring on so i would never forget about your mom , so it would always remind me of her , but you know what ? i do n't need it anymore because every time i look at you , you remind me of her . and she 's in my heart , in your little smile and your funny little laugh . emma : [ giggles ] patrick : because she 's everywhere , right ? she 's never , ever far away from us . [ door opens ] you okay ? maxie : what 's going on ? is everything okay ? mac : uh ... yeah . we were talking . maxie : about what ? patrick : about robin . robin : your cure is coming . science takes time . jerry : i 'm beginning to think you 're stalling , doctor . robin : and why would i do that ? jerry : well , perhaps you 're betting that if i drop dead , your chances would improve . trust me . they wo n't . if i die , you join me . robin : and if i manage to save you , what 's to stop you from killing me then ? jerry : my word . robin : well , i find that less than reassuring , since you already tried to kill me . jerry : oh , come on . i had a lobby full of hostages . i wanted them to be suitably intimidated . and shooting you was a means to an end , and i was very careful about the placement of the shot . i gave you a reasonable amount of survival , and survive you did . robin : i want assurances that , when this is over , you will let me go ... unharmed . jerry : i 'm afraid you 're gon na have to take my word for it . and if that 's not enough , too bloody bad . now , take this time and energy and put it in your work . otherwise , the family reunion you so long for wo n't be in this life , but the next . anna : yeah , thanks , frisco . any help , any help at all , the wsb can give us , we would greatly appreciate it . yes , thanks . i 've got to go . nikolas , dr. westbourne . yes ? what can i do for you ? britt : uh , commissioner , have you found my son ? anna : no . i 'm afraid not . nikolas : it 's been 24 hours since liesl obrecht took ben from spoon island . surely , you 've made some progress -- a clue , a lead -- as to the whereabouts of britt 's mother . no ? anna : as a matter of fact , i have . jerry : i 'm most impressed by your temporary cure to keep me alive . you 've done a bang - up job . nothing like a little positive feedback , do n't you think ? cheerio . [ snaps fingers ] keep up the work . come on . dr. obrecht : you see , my little schnitzel ? ohh , here we are to meet the man i told you about . jerry : what is that ? dr. obrecht : a baby . and he has a name . you may call him cesar . jerry : i know it 's a bloody baby . what 's it doing here ? dr. obrecht : i could n't leave my grandson alone , and your hired thugs are useless . what do they know about caring for an infant ? jerry : let me repeat the question . what is your slobbering grandson doing here ? dr. obrecht : he could n't stay with his mother . her plans for him were [ scoffs ] inadequate . jerry : you kidnapped him ? dr. obrecht : i liberated him . jerry : so , you went back to port charles , where you 're wanted by the police , kidnapped him , and came back here ? dr. obrecht : you have a firm grasp on the obvious . jerry : have you lost your mind ? your daughter wo n't rest till she finds her son , which means the police , the wsb , and anna devane will be alerted . you might as well have brought the authorities right here . nikolas : i told you we could count on her . britt : so , you located my mother ? anna : no . your mother is still at large . britt : but you just said that you -- anna : no , i said i have a lead . i do n't have a location . nikolas : it 's -- it 's a start , britt , okay ? what -- what kind of lead ? anna : well , my detectives have been working around the clock since you informed us that your son was kidnapped to find a trail . so , it seems that your mother left spoon island by a chartered boat , where she was then met on the mainland with a hired car , which we then traced to a private airstrip just outside of town . britt : she took off in a plane ? nikolas : well , she could n't have just vanished . there has to be a flight plan . anna : yeah , well , if there was , it 's been expunged . britt : that -- that 's not possible , though . anna : yeah , actually , it is . obrecht has covered her tracks , which is no mean feat . she 's not working alone . she has help -- powerful help . dr. obrecht : relax . i know how to cover my tracks . jerry : your tracks ? well [ chuckles ] that proves my point . they need to be covered . dr. obrecht : i was deceiving better women than anna devane when you were in nappies . she will not find us here . jerry : still , a search is underway where there was once none -- a search that could get us caught . dr. obrecht : i had no idea you were so timid . that is not your reputation . jerry : oh , shut up . i ca n't afford delays or distractions so you can see your grandson . have you ever heard of skype ? dr. obrecht : my plans for little cesar require more than a glimpse of his digital image , which reminds me -- i 'll need a babysitter . jerry : oh , do n't look at me . dr. obrecht : trust cesar with you ? [ laughs ] you are many things , jerry . paternal you are not . no , we have another idea , do n't we , liebchen ? robin : [ sighs ] sabrina : dr. westbourne , i do n't think this is the time or the place -- britt : i do n't think this concerns you , nurse santiago . sabrina : actually , it does . robin : what is this ? britt : fine . stay . although you may wish you had n't . sabrina : well , i 'm never gon na know until you spit it out . britt : patrick , i have great news . i 'm pregnant . maxie : you guys were talking about robin ? mac : uh , comparing notes , you know ? we all remember her in our own way . emma : daddy keeps the ring in a special place . and i have a special phone i use to talk to her . what do you do , maxie ? maxie : well , i think about her every day , especially when i walk by elm street . you know , your mom used to take me there when i was little , and we would watch the boats . emma : are you sad ? maxie : i 'm gon na be okay . [ sighs ] i was hoping you guys would have a second so we could talk . felicia : of course , sweetheart . mac : sure . would you like to join us ? maxie : i 'm gon na wait outside . mac : excuse us . felicia : excuse us . emma : what did i say ? sabrina : oh . ellie : brad knows that connie 's your daughter ? spinelli : [ sighs ] and now dante and lulu do , too . ellie : but i do n't understand . how did brad find out ? i did n't say a word . and i know that you did n't tell them . spinelli : i did n't intend to , but apparently he overheard maxie and i discussing our decision to keep the truth a secret . ellie : [ sighs ] and then he just decided to go tell dante and lulu ? spinelli : [ sighs ] ellie : why ? what possible motive would he have to just march into a christening and -- oh . spinelli : what ? ellie : i mentioned something about the christening at work , and brad asked me where it was , so i told him , and then he just took off and said something about wanting to prove that he could do the right thing . i had no idea what he meant at the time . spinelli : clearly , he thought razing dante and lulu 's life to the ground was the right thing to do . ellie : maybe it was . dante : when we started looking into having a surrogate , we -- we wanted -- we wanted someone to carry our child , the child that we conceived . and maxie had a miscarriage and did n't have the decency to tell us , and ... we lost the little boy or little girl that carried our history and our future . lulu : i know . dante : as much as we love connie , we 're not her parents in that way . she came from maxie and spinelli . lulu : [ sighs ] what difference does it make ? are you telling me that you love connie less just because she does n't have our dna ? dante : no . god , no . i 'm not saying that . that little girl -- she owns my heart . lulu : okay , good , because brad 's big announcement did n't change anything for me , either . maxie and spinelli -- they said that we can keep connie . so that is exactly what we 're gon na do . okay . felicia : i thought you had a session with kevin . maxie : i did , but i canceled it . i 'm not seeing him anymore . mac : um , sweetheart , look , you know , we do n't want to pry . it 's your therapy . but we just want to make sure you 're getting the help you need . maxie : it 's not necessary anymore . felicia : kevin told you that ? mac : look , i know you do n't like talking things out , okay ? but it 's the only way you 're gon na get over this attachment to a baby that is n't yours . maxie : that 's the thing . [ sighs ] connie is mine . felicia : that 's not possible , honey . maxie : dante and lulu are not connie 's parents . spinelli and i are . jerry : i wo n't have it . dr. obrecht : need i remind you who brought robin to you in the first place ? i can just as easily remove her . jerry : [ chuckles ] i 'd like to see you try . dr. obrecht : i 'd like to see you try to stop me . now , are you going to get out of my way ? anna : has your mother ever mentioned an associate ? britt : my mother did n't confide in me . anna : right . well , then i can only assume it 's faison . but he 's being held in steinmauer , which is a maximum - security prison , and he has n't had any visitors or phone calls for months , so ... nikolas : what can we do to help ? anna : has the baby 's father been informed that his child is missing ? lulu : maxie has known that connie was hers for months . she never said anything . even after she told spinelli . i mean , not a word . at the church , after brad 's little speech , they both swore up and down that they wanted us to keep connie . dante : okay , but that was in the moment , okay ? they did n't have time to think through what they were saying . lulu : well , what is there to think about ? maxie and spinelli want us to keep connie . dante : yeah . okay , they said that because they were feeling guilty , and they wanted to make us feel better . i mean , they were emotional . they -- they did n't know what was coming out of their mouths . lulu : were fully prepared to spend the rest of their lives not admitting to anyone that connie was their biological child . just because the truth is out , that has n't changed anything . dante : do you know why we read perps the miranda ? lulu : we 're talking about the miranda right now ? dante : we read it to them because people say things in the heat of the moment , especially if they 're guilty or if they feel like they did something wrong . okay , we advise them of their rights so that they can choose their words carefully because they ca n't be taken back . lulu : thank you for the lesson in criminal law . i 'm sorry . i just do n't see how this applies to our daughter . dante : it applies -- it applies to our daughter [ sighs ] because when maxie and spinelli were talking to us , they were emotional , okay ? and maybe they 've reconsidered what they want to do . lulu : about us keeping connie ? dante : yeah . i 'm just trying to make sure that we 're prepared . maxie is , uh , understandably so , pretty attached to our little baby , and i think spinelli is , too . lulu : so , what are you saying , dante ? dante : i 'm saying before it all came out , i think they were okay with us keeping connie , and now that it 's not a secret anymore , what if they 've reconsidered ? what if they 've changed their mind , and they want connie back ? maxie : all this time i never told you , but i could feel her growing -- my little girl . felicia : she 's yours . your daughter . mac : no wonder it was so hard for you to let her go . felicia : [ chuckling ] that sweet , little baby . oh , my god . she 's my granddaughter . mac : [ chuckles ] maxie : and i think i -- i mean , i might be imagining this , but i think she looks like you a little . felicia : [ chuckles ] mac : maxie , why did n't you tell us ? maxie : because i thought i was making the right decision , and i was afraid that you were gon na make me tell the truth . mac : maxie , i wish you had n't had to go through this all alone . i mean , it must have killed you , keeping it bottled up all this time . maxie : there was one person i told , but i made him promise not to say anything . frisco . felicia : [ scoffs ] oh , that jackass ! maxie : mom , please . felicia : how dare he ! even frisco should have been able to see what a horrible , unwise decision he was letting you make . maxie : it 's not his fault . i begged him not to say anything . felicia : oh , i 'm sure he loved that . after abandoning you most of your life , he drops in out of the sky , and he gets to feel important because he 's keeping your little secret . that 's not helping you , maxie . that 's enabling you . mac : felicia , listen . look , i agree with everything you 're saying [ sighs ] but going over frisco 's many misgivings is n't doing maxie any good . felicia : look at the situation he created . maxie : no , mom . no . i created this . i had a miscarriage . i lied . i decided to give dante and lulu my child . frisco just respected my choice . none of that even matters now because the truth is out . ellie : i really think you need to be honest with yourself , damian . what do you want ? spinelli : but , ellie , i 'm not the only one involved . ellie : and it was so noble of you to want to spare dante and lulu , but they know the truth now . you ca n't protect them anymore . spinelli : what are you saying ? ellie : i think you know . it 's time you do what you 've wanted to all along -- claim your daughter and be a father to her . patrick : [ sighs ] i thought it would have been a little harder for beautiful over there to accept me taking my ring off . sabrina : how hard has it been for you ? patrick : not easy , but it 's the right thing to do . sabrina : [ sighs ] part of me feels like i cornered you , like i gave you no choice but to just take it off . patrick : no , no , no . hey . taking my ring off was my decision . i 'm always gon na love robin , but i can honor her in ways that allow me to move forward . britt : i know this may come as a surprise , but will you find it in your heart to celebrate with me ? patrick : you 're pregnant ? britt : we 're pregnant . our baby 's gon na be so beautiful . [ lock clicks ] dr. obrecht : good morning , little bird . robin : obrecht . dr. obrecht : come , come . we 're peers . you can call me liesl . hmm ? robin : what do you want ? dr. obrecht : i hate to be a bother , but i need you to look after this little schnitzel while conducting your research . robin : so , now i 'm a babysitter ? dr. obrecht : i thought you 'd like a roommate . robin : what is this , some kind of trick ? you thought that i would be so horrified by the sight of you anywhere near a child that i would just do whatever it is that you wanted ? dr. obrecht : i 'm afraid you 're overthinking a simple request for childcare . robin : i am not in the mood for manipulations . i have work to do . dr. obrecht : perhaps you 'd change your mind if you knew his parents . robin : what does that have to do with anything ? it 's not my child . dr. obrecht : but he is your husband 's . britt : ben 's biological father has no interest in him . anna : you see , if obrecht contacts him , he needs to be informed so that he -- britt : well , you can contact him . it 's not gon na do you any good . his only connection to ben is his dna . anna : should there be a ransom demand ... britt : my mother does n't need money , and even if she was interested in that , we definitely could n't get it from ben 's father . he has none . [ sniffles ] nikolas : well , i do , and i care about ben . look , we will do whatever is necessary ... britt : [ sniffles ] nikolas : ... to find him and bring him home and make sure that obrecht is brought to justice , okay ? anna : i want this as much as you do , because she is wanted in connection with the attempted murder of both duke lavery and robert scorpio . nikolas : okay . is there anything that we can do ? anything ? anna : well , i do n't know . it 's really a waiting game at this point . just have to sit tight , and you need to notify me should obrecht contact you . britt : oh , okay , commissioner . we 'll just follow your orders and `` sit tight `` while my son is god knows where with my mother , doing god knows what . robin : this is patrick 's son ? britt : yeah , i stopped listening to your orders and starting thinking for myself . i told patrick that ben is n't his son . dr. obrecht : a bundle of joy , nicht wahr ? and that 's his mother , the striking woman on the video , britta , my daughter . robin : patrick ... had ... a son with your daughter ? dr. obrecht : it was such a good match . [ sighs dramatically ] but you know patrick . he 's insatiable . he quickly tired of britta and moved on to that slatternly nurse , sabrina santiago . robin : no . i do n't believe you . dr. obrecht : you expected patrick to remain faithful to your memory ? robin : no , i just -- i do n't -- i - i ca n't . i mean , patrick had a child with another woman ? patrick : so , i 'm gon na apologize right off the top here , but have you heard anything from carols lately ? sabrina : yeah , he actually called a few times , but i did n't pick up . the last thing i want to hear is him tearing you apart some more . patrick : and what if he keeps calling ? sabrina : oh , no , he 's already stopped . patrick : yeah ? sabrina : yeah . i think he finally got the message that i 'm happily taken . patrick : i hope so . sabrina santiago ? sabrina : yes ? uh , these are for you . spinelli : dante 's a good man , and he 'll make a great father , and lulu will be a wonderful mother . ellie : i know . except , damian , the baby they have is n't theirs . she 's yours and maxie 's . spinelli : yeah , but maybe that is just an accident of biology , nothing more . ellie : [ sighs ] look , at the heart of all of this is a simple and undeniable truth . spinelli : [ sighs ] ellie : you 're a father , damian , and now that everybody knows it , it 's inevitable that your baby be returned to you . spinelli : i have thought about it , and it does seem possible . you know , maxie has said that she will not hurt dante and lulu , but i - i know her , and she wants our baby back as much as i do . maxie : i never meant for dante and lulu to find out . now they 're dealing with a lot of pain . mac : i 'm afraid it 's gon na get worse before it gets better . maxie : what do you mean ? mac : maxie , you and spinelli need to get ready to take care of connie . felicia : why did n't you bring your baby home with you ? maxie : what was i supposed to do , just rip her out of lulu 's arms ? mac : she 's your baby , yours and spinelli 's . maxie : yes , but [ sighs ] even spinelli thinks that they 're not gon na want to raise connie now that they know she 's not theirs , but i 'm not so sure , and i 'm not gon na force them to give her up . mac : [ sighs ] felicia : maxie , honey , you 're not thinking clearly . this is your child . maxie : i promised lulu a baby . felicia : and you did everything you could to keep your promise , but you had a miscarriage , and however misguided you were in the way you handled that , connie is not lulu 's baby . maxie : well , how am i supposed to take her back ? how am i supposed to do that to lulu ? she 's already so hurt . felicia : do you miss your baby ? maxie : more than ever . felicia : do you want her back ? maxie : of course i do . felicia : well , then it 's not a question of asking , `` how do i do this to lulu ? `` you just simply have to do it . mac : maxie , listen to your mom . felicia : this will never be right if you let your baby go . you need your daughter , and she needs you . maxie : [ inhales deeply ] but what about dante and lulu ? mac : maxie , i have a feeling that dante and lulu are coming to that same conclusion right now . maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : no one is pressing any claim on connie . maxie 's not gon na do it . one , she 's got no backbone . two , she 's guilty as sin for lying to us . she 'd be going back on everything that she said about loving me and being my best friend to now demand the baby . maxie said that connie is ours . dante : do you really think she 's gon na keep her word with something so personal to her ? lulu : what do you want me to do , dante ? dante : i do n't know . i do n't know what to do . i - i just -- we have to be prepared that maxie might not do right by us . lulu : fine . fine . if that happens , then we 'll be prepared . i know exactly how to make sure that maxie never gets her hands on our baby . anna : dr. westbourne , i understand how difficult this is for you . britt : [ voice breaking ] i doubt that . [ sniffles ] anna : well , i do . my daughter , robin , was taken when she was young , and the wait and the despair are unbearable . nikolas : yeah , robin -- she actually told me about that -- that kidnapping . robin : she did ? nikolas : yeah . robin : oh , i did n't realize that . [ sniffles ] nikolas : uh , she said that she was so young , she barely understood what was going on . but the one thing she knew for sure was that you were coming to find her . she had absolute faith in you . anna : it 's an impossible situation ... britt : [ exhales deeply ] anna : ... wracked with anxiety . but i had reason to hope back then , you see , dr. westbourne -- britt . and you have reason to hope now . nikolas : thank you for everything , and please just keep us informed . anna : i will see to it that ben is brought back to you safe and sound . nikolas : let 's go . thank you . britt : [ sighs ] britt : [ sighs ] nikolas : hey . hey . britt : [ sniffles ] [ sobs ] nikolas : i know . let 's get out of here , okay ? britt : [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] i do n't know what i 'm gon na do if i do n't get ben back . nikolas : look at me . britt : [ sniffles ] nikolas : you wo n't have to find out . i promise . britt : [ sniffles ] nikolas : come here . britt : [ sighs ] robin : your daughter -- what 's her name ? dr. obrecht : britta . robin : your daughter , britta , got pregnant by patrick . and this is their son . dr. obrecht : as i said . why is it taking you so long to grasp this ? robin : because it does n't make any sense that my husband would have a child with another woman . dr. obrecht : [ chuckles ] there is no mystery to this . patrick is not a man known for his fidelity , and britta is very , very attractive . robin : well , maybe she had some help from you , obrecht . just how involved is your daughter in all of this ? huh ? does she know that i 'm alive ? dr. obrecht : [ chuckles ] if you knew my daughter ... [ ben fusses ] dr. obrecht : ... you 'd know your question is absurd . britta is troubled by an overactive conscience and a lack of willpower . i can not trust her with anything . if i told her you were alive , she might have found the knowledge too much to bear and informed patrick , despite the countless ways he 's wronged her . robin : [ sighs ] well , if the relationship did n't work out , i 'm sure it was n't patrick 's fault . dr. obrecht : you refuse to admit what you already know . patrick drake simply can not be trusted among women . emma : these are so pretty . sabrina : your daddy is a sweetie pie . patrick : they 're not from me . sabrina : what ? uh , how did you know where to find me ? man : i just go where i 'm told . enjoy the flowers . patrick : what 's the card say ? emma : here . sabrina : `` mi querida ... `` patrick : what 's it say ? sabrina : nothing . patrick : let me see . `` mi querida ... `` [ sighs ] `` ... you avoid my calls , but you ca n't avoid me forever . i love you now and always . love , carols . `` ellie : if you 're right about maxie , then you two need to talk openly and honestly . damian , you have to get on the same page about how you 're gon na tell dante and lulu that you want your daughter . spinelli : i know you 're right . it 's -- it 's just difficult . ellie : of course . it 's so difficult . but , damian , you have such a good heart , so just follow it . and if there 's anything i can do to help , just let me know . spinelli : [ sighs ] maxie : [ sighs ] what you 're saying about reclaiming the baby -- it makes an awful kind of sense . but i do n't know how to do that without destroying dante and lulu in the process . felicia : well , that 's why we 're going to go see kevin . unless you 've already confided in him . maxie : no . [ sighs ] no , i 've been lying to everyone . felicia : well , he 's been counseling you based on the wrong information , so you 're gon na have to tell him what 's really going on . mac : kevin will know what to do and how to do it , okay ? [ cell phone ringing ] mac : it 's holly . she must have an update on robert . even though every update is the same . felicia : maybe she just wants to talk to you . [ ringing continues ] felicia : i 'm going to take maxie to see kevin . mac : okay . i 'll see you at gh . felicia : okay . [ ringing stops ] mac : hello ? holly ? dante : wait , what -- what 's your idea ? lulu : we 'll adopt connie . hey . i know that it was n't our original plan , but -- i know that we thought that maxie was carrying our biological child , and connie is n't technically ours , so let 's make her ours . dante : you want to legally adopt her ? lulu : parents give up their children all the time . that 's exactly what maxie was planning on doing . this would make it official . dante : it 's a lot . we got to -- got to do a lot of stuff . lulu : we 're gon na adopt connie , and we 'll make her ours , no matter what maxie or spinelli decide they want . [ elevator bell dings ] [ door opens ] maxie : spinelli . spinelli : hey , maxie . what are you doing here ? maxie : i 'm here to meet kevin . i should actually go . he 's probably waiting for me in his office . spinelli : maxie , wait . i 've been thinking a lot about our situation . [ chuckles nervously ] maxie : me too . spinelli : i 'm not sure what to do next or how to do it , but i do know one thing . i want our daughter back . maxie : so do i . spinelli : [ chuckles ] emma : do n't forget your flowers . sabrina : oh , i 'm leaving them for the waitress . emma : you do n't want them ? sabrina : i do n't need them . besides , i already have a giant flower in my life , and her name is emma . [ chuckles ] come on . britt : i 'm really not hungry . can -- i just want to go home . nikolas : no . not until you 've had something to eat . you got to keep your strength up . emma : watch out . it 's the britch . patrick : hey , watch your language . britt : [ clears throat ] it 's okay , patrick . sabrina : how is your little boy , britt ? nikolas : he 's , uh -- he 's missing . patrick : what ? nikolas : ben 's been kidnapped . britt : [ sighs ] by my mother . dr. obrecht : mein liebchen , dr. scorpio - drake may be a sour little thing , but she is not entirely heartless . i trust she 'll take good care of you . robin : so , why is he here , of all places ? if this is patrick 's son and your daughter 's son ... [ ben fusses ] robin : ... what are you doing with him ? dr. obrecht : he 's very important to my plans . are n't you , my little schnitzel ? robin : what plans ? dr. obrecht : would n't you like to know ? anna : [ sighs ] robin , wherever you are ... please help me find this little boy . [ knock on door , door opens ] mac : anna ? anna : oh , yes ? mac : holly just called . anna : what ? mac : robert 's awake .

maxie tells mac and felicia that she and spinelli are connie 's biological parents and that dante and lulu know now , too , but that she is n't going to force them to give her up . felicia says maxie has to do it , and that dante and lulu probably think so too . spinelli tells ellie that brad went to the christening and announced that dante and lulu are not connie 's parents . she says that when brad left the hospital , he said he was going to prove that he could do the right thing . spinelli concludes that brad must have thought that ruining dante and lulu 's lives was the right thing to do . ellie says spinelli can claim his daughter now . she says spinelli and maxie will have to have a serious discussion about what to do . felicia takes maxie to the hospital to talk to kevin collins . maxie runs into spinelli . he tells her that he wants their daughter back . she says she does , too . lulu wants to adopt connie so maxie and spinelli ca n't take her away .

nathan : [ sighs ] maxie : i 'm sorry . i ca n't go out with you at all . dante : hey , buddy . what 's going on ? nathan : hey , uh , dropping files off for the commissioner . i did n't expect to see you here . what 's up ? dante : no , i , uh , i need to talk to anna . it 's about lulu 's father . lulu : i still ca n't believe that you caused patrick 's accident , dad . could it be possible ? [ knock on door ] maxie ! hi . maxie : hi . lulu : did n't you get enough of me when we were literally tied to each other ? maxie : i could never get enough of my best friend . lulu : aww . okay , fine . get in here . maxie : yes . where 's dante ? eh , i do n't really care about that . where 's rocco ? lulu : rocco 's asleep . dante 's at the station . he had to talk with anna about something . maxie : are you okay ? why are you holding a picture of your dad ? pa : ladies and gentlemen , welcome to flight 1481 to amsterdam . we will be taking off in just a few minutes , so please take your seats so we ensure an on - time departure . patrick : okay . get a business - class seat and you got to put your luggage way back in economy ? what 's that all about ? why do you pay for this thing for ? sam ? hey . sam : sorry . patrick : you all right ? seem like you 're a million miles away already . sam : [ sighs ] not that far . no . i just ca n't stop thinking about danny and that john doe in the icu . elizabeth : did you hear that ? you 're gon na be waking up soon . and then maybe finally we can figure out who you really are . and with any luck , you can tell me your name , and we 'll be able to reunite you with your family . nina : franco , what are you doing in here ? franco : what 's it look like i 'm doing ? nina : spying on your girlfriend again . franco : yep . and it 's a good thing . carly and sonny are together . they 're at michael 's apartment . nina : well , they 're probably visiting their son , right ? i mean , he 's probably in another room . franco : kid left forever ago . carly just said to sonny that she 's glad that they 're finally alone . carly : i have something important i need to say to you . franco : oh . yeah , that sounds totally innocent , right ? sonny : i know what you want to say . you want to leave franco . and you decided to call off the engagement 'cause you want to be with me , right ? that is -- that is what you want to say , right ? franco : this is it . nina : okay . franco : i 'm about to hear exactly how carly feels about sonny . sonny : come on . do n't keep me in suspense . i want to hear it from your own lips . you decided to leave franco . that 's what -- that 's what you want to say , right ? carly : what i wanted to say ... is that you 're a son of a bitch . patrick : can i ask you something ? sam : sure . patrick : you mentioned elizabeth 's patient , the john doe . sam : yeah . patrick : why do you keep thinking about him ? sam : well , i told you how danny ran into his room and latched onto his hand , and it just really struck me , why would danny go into a total stranger 's room and grab his hand ? i mean , you saw the man . his right hand was practically the only part of his body that was n't covered in bandages . patrick : right . yeah , i would imagine the way he looked connected to all those machines and everything else that it would actually frighten him , but it was like it was the opposite . sam : exactly . it was just the opposite . patrick , you have no idea . i - i told him so many times , `` let go , let go , `` and he yelled at me , `` no . `` it took elizabeth to bribe him with another lollipop . patrick : has he ever done that before ? sam : well , i mean , danny can be stubborn , but he 's fearless and he 's definitely not afraid of machines , as you know . he 's been in and out of the hospital . but , i mean , he 's -- he 's really kind of standoffish with strangers , and i think it 's a personality trait he gets from his father . patrick : he was n't standoffish in the icu , that 's for sure . sam : no . i just -- i do n't know why he was so attached to this patient . i mean , do you have any idea ? elizabeth : monica , what are you doing here ? monica : well , i came to see our mystery patient . so , this is the john doe . elizabeth : this is him . i was here when they brought him in , so i - i just promised him that i would be here when he woke up . monica : ah . so that explains why you 're here on your day off . elizabeth : dr. franklin is easing him off sedation , so he should be waking up in the next few hours . just wanted to keep my promise . monica : my , 36 hours of surgery . facial reconstruction , internal injuries , broken bones . he 's very lucky he survived . elizabeth : mm - hmm . hopefully when he wakes up , he can tell us who he is . monica : hmm . uh , dr. franklin wanted me to look him over after that spike in his vitals earlier . elizabeth : why ? i thought that was a good sign . monica : i think it 's probably just a precaution . if he is waking up , we need to see what kind of shape his heart 's in . [ monitor beeping ] nathan : why ? did something happen ? if lulu 's father all right ? dante : uh , actually , luke 's in trouble . but not probably in the way that you mean . nathan : well , i mean , lulu 's father seems a little quirky . there 's a lot of luke spencer stories floating around the precinct , but i thought they were all back in the day . dante : yeah , not so far back in the day , apparently . nathan : well , i was supposed to de - brief the commissioner on everything that happened at the clinic before she arrived , but she got pulled into a budget meeting . dante : oh , really ? those never are quick . nathan : yeah . yeah , i know . it 's gon na be awhile . is -- is there something i can help you with ? dante : no , you know what , man . this is just some off - the - books operation . do n't worry about it . nathan : dude , we just survived an escape from a -- from a clinic that was a - a cover for the black ops branch of the wsb . i mean , i think it does n't get much more off the books than that . dante : yeah , you 're right . you got a good point there . nathan : besides , i 'm your partner . if i can help , i want to help . dante : well , it involves the jerome crime family . we have reason to believe that the man julian jerome was taking orders from is lulu 's father . lulu : i 've just been missing my dad lately . maxie : he has n't called ? lulu : he 's not overly communicative when he 's on the road . maxie : yes , but luke always finds a way to keep tabs on you . and he has his brand - new grandson . lulu : you would think that would provide some incentive to , i do n't know , send a text message . after tracy dumped him on their honeymoon , maybe he 's nursing a broken heart . maxie : yeah . there 's a lot of that going around . lulu : that sounds serious . how are you doing ? levi / peter did a number on you . maxie : no , stop . can we please just refer to him as the loser who should not be mentioned ? lulu : yeah , i 'm fine with that . maxie : anyway , he 's not why i 'm over here . actually , yes , this is about him , because he has ruined my life . it is his fault that this happened , not mine . which is actually not completely true because i did fall for his garbage and swallowed his lies and all those tidbits of wisdom . i really thought he was making me a better person . i 'm happy he 's dead . i know i should n't be saying that , but he 's dead , and he 's still ruining my life . anyway , that 's not why i 'm over here . lulu : well , obviously something 's wrong . it 'll probably make you feel better to talk about it . whatever it is , just say it . maxie : i need you to tell me that i 'm not making the biggest mistake of my life . nathan : the meeting is tomorrow , but you 're not gon na go ? dante : yeah . why ? do you think i should ? nathan : no , no , i think you should do whatever 's best for your family . i mean , it 's not like you 'd actually have any legal jurisdiction in amsterdam anyway . dante : right ? i mean , it 'd just be for intel . nathan : you think he 's gon na confess ? dante : i do know this has been hard on lulu . i mean , the only way she will believe that her father was capable of causing patrick 's accident is if she hears it from him herself . but at the same time , we -- we 've been away from our boy for far too long . nathan : i get it . the man is your father - in - law . it 's the definition of a conflict of interest . dante : what ? are you saying you do n't think i can be impartial ? nathan : no , no , no . i know you can . i just ... i 'm just saying if somebody wanted to make a case out of this , it 's the first thing they 'd cite in court . maybe i can go in your place . dante : no , thanks . i appreciate it , but patrick and sam are on top of it . they can keep an eye on tracy . nathan : it 's not a problem . i can leave on the first flight out of port charles . i can leave tonight . dante : slow down . i said it 's okay . i appreciate it , but what 's going on ? why are you in such a rush to leave the country ? what are you running away from ? nathan : i 'm not running away . what would i be running from ? dante : i do n't know . maxie ? lulu : the biggest mistake of your life -- that has to be major . maxie : okay , i know there 's a lot of competition for that title , because i can count my mistakes on both my hands and my feet and all the accessories that i wear . uh , but that 's not even including my most recent mistake of almost marrying a complete psycho . not to mention , me , the queen of liars , being lied to for months . lulu : you 're rambling . maxie : i am . and i have n't even gotten to the date with nathan . lulu : what date with nathan ? maxie : uh , the one i 'm not going on . patrick : well , danny 's been in and out of hospitals a lot in his young age . maybe he -- maybe he felt sympathy for the guy . i mean , maybe he could actually tell that -- that john doe is in bad shape . sam : elizabeth said that she asked you to look over john doe 's brain scans . and is it as bad as it looks ? patrick : well , the tbi is very serious . i was able to tell from the scans that there was a bunch of scar tissue and that he 's had brain surgery before . sam : before the accident ? patrick : yeah . more than one . sam : just like jason . [ monitor beeping ] monica : well , his sinus rhythm is extremely strong . i think that spike earlier was an anomaly . elizabeth : so , his heart was n't damaged in the accident ? monica : i did n't detect any damage when i examined him , and the scans seem to agree with me . so , whatever this man has been through , at least his heart is in good shape . elizabeth : wish i could say the same . franco : did carly just call sonny a son of a bitch ? nina : yes , she did . franco : well , that 's great , i guess . it 's a start . nina : did you change your mind ? did you jump to conclusions about spying on carly ? sonny : son of a bitch ? why am i a son of a bitch ? carly : you really need me to spell it out for you ? sonny : apparently . carly : michael was almost killed last night thanks to you . sonny : where is this coming from ? you were with me when we sent him out . carly : we need to present a united front to keep our son safe , and now that we 're alone , i can tell you what i really think . sonny : and you think i 'm a son of a bitch ? carly : why did your people not see this coming , sonny ? why was michael left unprotected ? i mean , if i ever need a reminder , is a perfect illustration of why i 'm not with you , why i 'm going to marry franco . and now that i 've made myself clear , go ahead ! get the hell out of here ! go ! nina : just -- franco : we 're really gon na play that game again ? give me back my phone . nina : okay . um , i think that your spy cam has let you hear everything that you need to hear . franco : yeah , i do n't think so . nina : what part needs repeating ? the -- the part where sonny makes a play for carly or the part that she calls him a son of a bitch and , um , she 's really excited about marrying you ? she said that to him . she laid everything out on the line . what do you need ? a blood oath ? i just think that you should let it go . sonny : you know , carly , i 'm gon na go , but i got to tell you something . this is the biggest load of crap i 've ever heard . carly : excuse me ? sonny : i mean it . you -- you 're coming down on me for putting michael in harm 's way , but we both know who put him there to begin with -- you . carly : oh , that 's ridiculous . sonny : you picked me to be michael 's father . if you did n't want michael around my lifestyle , you would have had aj raise him , end of story ! but you asked me to love him as my own , and i 've done that . but that means you get everything that comes with that . carly : i made it clear . sonny : what ? carly : i did n't want my kids to be targets ! you know that ? sonny : you knew the kind of man i was . i - i still am . so why do n't we just admit what this is really about ? carly : i told you what this is about ! sonny : no , you know , all this talk about michael 's safety is a smokescreen because you 're trying real hard ... to convince yourself that you 're doing the right thing , when we both know you 're not . dante : you asked maxie out on a date ? how did that happen ? maxie : i guess it all started when we kissed in crichton - clark . lulu : wait , hold up . while you were running for your lives in the clinic of hell , you and nathan kissed ? maxie : it was a `` heat of the moment `` thing . nathan : maxie had just saved my life . maxie : after nathan saved mine . nathan : and somehow we ended up kissing . lulu : so , how was it ? maxie : pretty amazing . no , completely amazing . dante : i hate to be the one to break it to you , buddy , but the kiss could n't have been that good if maxie turned you down for the date . nathan : that 's not why she said no . lulu : so , if you had this incredible kiss , why did you turn nathan down ? nathan : she said that she wanted to be more responsible , that she 'd made a lot of mistakes recently . maxie : i was n't sure i was ready to trust someone again . nathan : so , i told her i 'd go to the metro court tonight and wait to see if she showed up . maxie : but i 'm not gon na go . nathan : even though i think she 's made up her mind . maxie : and that 's why i came to see you , my best friend , so you can tell me that i 've made the right decision . lulu : ah . i ca n't tell you that . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . i totally should n't have said that . my issues are not your concern . monica : do n't be silly . i mean , with all you 've meant to me , my family , if you want to talk , i 'm certainly happy to listen . elizabeth : well , thank you . really nothing serious . monica : oh . excuse me , but this is from a woman who was envious of a man in a coma . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i 'm just a little lost in the romance department . nikolas and i finally let go of our long and difficult romance . ric is gone . a.j . 's gone . how are you doing with that ? monica : oh , i miss him every day . you know , after years of keeping his survival a secret , i finally get him home , only to lose him again . elizabeth : at least you got that time with him . it 's not often we get that kind of second chance with someone . sam : you know , i can sympathize for this patient , you know . when jason went through the ramifications of his surgery , he had to deal with memory loss and certain things that he was n't able to do , even though he never was able to admit to it . patrick : oh , no . by far the worst patient i 've ever dealt with in my life . sam : mean . patrick : seriously , he never listened to my advice . never gave himself enough adequate recovery time . it does n't matter how many brilliant surgeries i did on the guy . i did it with zero cooperation . sam : well , for what it 's worth , i have to say that i am glad that jason 's operations brought you to town . even though i did n't like you at first . patrick : oh , well , that 's fair , 'cause i did n't like you at first , either . sam : what ? are you kidding me ? what about me did you not like ? patrick : i do n't want to talk about it . i do n't want to rehash old feelings . sam : no , stop it . do n't be mysterious and just drop it . i can handle it . i 'm a big girl . tell me . patrick : it was n't you , per se . sam : oh . patrick : no , it was n't . it was -- it was port charles women in general , these beautiful , smart , amazing women that were constantly making excuses for these deadbeat mobsters , and it was -- it was annoying . i did n't understand it . sam : [ chuckles ] patrick : i hope that 's not too harsh , but ... sam : no , it 's not . i said i can take it . i 'm a big girl . patrick : [ chuckles ] sam : i mean , to be honest , i was no angel when i first got to port charles . and neither were you , by the way . patrick : what are you talking about ? i was an angel . sam : what do you mean , what am i talking about ? you were a womanizing , sexist pig with a god complex . patrick : i 'd really like that to say that that was n't true , but i ca n't . sam : i know . patrick : it 's kind of true . sam : it hurts , does n't it ? patrick : that was right on the tip of your tongue . how long have you waited to tell me that ? sam : [ laughs ] patrick : i would like to think that i 've changed a lot . sam : you have . patrick : [ exhales ] so have you . patrick : thank you . sam : mnh . oh , my god . patrick : you all right ? sam : no . yes , i 'm okay , but i just remembered i was so busy getting molly and danny all situated , but i forgot to call my mom and ask her if anything happened between julian and whether he had any sort of connection with luke . patrick : it does n't really matter , does it ? tracy already said that she saw luke and julian at the stables that night , just like spencer said . sam : no , i know , but my mother should have called me back still and followed up with something . patrick : you do n't think he would hurt her in any way , do you ? sam : gosh , no . of course not . i think it 's just the opposite . i think he would try and lure her in . patrick : really ? sam : [ chuckles ] yeah . really . look , my mother is well - documented for being involved with dangerous men . i mean , julian was n't just her first but her latest . he 's got this -- this hold on her , and i do n't know what it is . but she said that she would not date him as long as he was still in the mob . so , no . maybe she 's at the office or something working on some sort of a case . hopefully . patrick : yeah , maybe she 's filing my divorce papers . sam : what ? patrick : i did n't tell you . sam : no , you did n't tell me . you said that robin had n't sent the form yet . patrick : no , we talked . she signed them , and she sent them . now it 's just a matter of time before i 'm officially divorced . sam : i 'm sorry . patrick : yeah . it 's kind of a crazy thing . i never expected to be in this place , but here i am . ready to move on . sam : excuse me . hi . can we have another drink , please ? elizabeth : monica , i 've been wanting to tell you that i 'm really sorry for the way things ended between me and aj . i 'm sure you feel like i abandoned him . monica : aj was accused of doing something horrible . and he really could n't say he was innocent because he was blind drunk the night that connie was murdered . i do n't blame you for pulling away . i would have done the same thing had i been you . still , i ca n't really believe that aj did shoot connie . elizabeth : ultimately , i do n't think that 's what broke us up . monica : was it the alcoholism ? elizabeth : partially . i just think we got together for all the wrong reasons . monica : aj did love you , elizabeth . elizabeth : i ... i do n't know if we were in love or we both just needed redemption . monica : what do you need redeeming for ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] for what i did to lucky . and to jason . maxie : what do you mean , you do n't think i made the right decision telling nathan that i could not go out with him ? lulu : do you remember when we were tied up ? maxie : we were tied up for days . lulu : and you said that nathan showing up last new year 's was a sign from the universe and that when he asked you to stay instead of going off to eat , pray , and love that you should have listened . maxie : um , hello . we were being held hostage , and i was trying to wage a psychological warfare against levi . he -- he felt inferior to nathan , so i just wanted to get him all wound up so he 'd make another mistake , like leave his phone around us again or something . lulu : okay , so you did n't mean it when you said that nathan was wonderful . maxie : [ sighs ] i meant that part . lulu : and you do n't wish that you would have stayed and gotten to know him instead of going off on your spiritual journey ? maxie : of course i wish i stayed , okay ? but i did n't stay . i left . and i met up with a loser , and i got conned and swindled and kidnapped . i 'm trying to learn from my mistakes . i do n't want to just jump into something new . i want to be responsible . lulu : i understand that you went through a terrible ordeal . maxie : no . we all did because of me . lulu : yeah , and you were the one who got your heart broken . look , i know how scary it is to try again , okay , but you ca n't hide in a corner for the rest of your life . maxie : i 'm not talking about the rest of my life . i 'm just talking about right now . i went by my apartment to pick up a few of my things 'cause i 'm staying at my mom and mac 's house , and , lulu , you would not believe how many paisley- print boho - chic tunic tops i have . and why ? because mr. unmentionable liked me in them ? i mean , he even ruined my sense of fashion . no , it is way too soon to go out on a date . lulu : it sounds very sensible . maxie : thank you . lulu : except this has nothing to do with timing or paisley tunic tops . you put your heart on the line , and now you 're scared that you ca n't trust yourself . maxie : so , you 're saying i should go out with nathan ? lulu : no , i 'm saying that nathan 's a great guy , and if you want to go out with him , then you should . but it 's your decision . dante : so , that 's it ? nathan : what ? dante : well , you make this gesture . you ask her out on a date . she says no . you just gon na throw in the towel ? nathan : i think she 's made her position pretty clear . dante : so what ? so what ? you go to the metro court , you end up sitting by yourself for a little while . is that so bad ? i mean , you gon na run for cover 'cause you do n't want to get stood up ? nathan : maybe . dante : may -- dude , i watched you stand there and take everything maxie could throw at you . she was -- she was irrational . she was unfair . she -- she made unfounded accusations . dude , she kicked you out of your own apartment , and you still never gave up on her once . nathan : she was being lied to by this -- this dirtbag con man . dante : right , and you wanted to be there for her . nathan : yeah ! dante : exactly ! because you 're a standup guy . you 're reliable . you 're honest . you 're patient . believe me , that 's gon na come in handy when dealing with maxie . she wants someone she can count on , someone who honors their commitments , so honor this one . show up there tonight . franco : you 've been in a coma , so you do n't know this , so i 'm gon na cut you some slack , okay , but taking a man 's smartphone , that 's like kidnapping a child . it 's just not done . give it back . nina : okay . no , not until you promise to me that you 're gon na let this go . franco : why would i let it go ? nina : franco , you -- you told me you were just testing carly . that 's what you said . and you told me that you would stop spying on her when -- when you were able to prove that the reason that she accepted your proposal is that she chose you over sonny , and she 's done that . she said that she was happy that she was marrying you , right ? franco : i guess . nina : okay . so , she passed the test . that 's it . you should stop obsessing over this , and you should be excited that you 're marrying the woman you love . franco : you 're right . you 're right . i 'll stop . i 'll let it go . nina : all right . hmm ... prove it . carly : you have no right to psychoanalyze me . sonny : right . we got two kids together . we 've been married four times . why would i think you 'd pick a fight instead of admitting you 're wrong ? carly : let 's be clear , okay ? i am genuinely mad at you for almost getting michael killed last night ! you have got to do better ! sonny : that 's why i sent him away , so he could be safe ! carly : i still have nightmares about michael being shot in your warehouse ! sonny , we did n't know if he was gon na live or die ! that was hell for me , okay ? do you know that ? ! sonny : of course i know that . 'cause i went through hell along with you . there was nothing worse for me than having to put michael in that clinic . but we were -- we were there . we did it . you know why ? 'cause we -- we could lean on each other . and then we were in the limo , you know -- carly : no . do n't . do n't . do n't mention the limo , because we only had sex because i left my heart in that clinic and i needed to feel anything . i needed to feel something , and that is the only reason it happened . and it happened with you because you were there , okay ? sonny : that 's not -- that 's not why . carly : i was just vulnerable at the time , and that 's all . sonny : when the chips are down , we can count on each other 'cause we -- we -- that 's who we are . we always end up together . because we 're stronger together than we are apart . ton'ton4w maxie : wow . you 're not making this easier for me . i came over here so you could make me feel better . lulu : you came over here so that i would tell you the truth , which is exactly what i did . go out with nathan , do n't go out with nathan . just promise me that you wo n't make the decision out of fear . maxie : i just wish figuring out what i wanted was n't so hard . lulu : you know whatever you decide , i 'll support you . maxie : i know . i love you . lulu : i love you , too . mmm . maxie : and i 'm not gon na ask you again what 's wrong with you , but i know something is , so when you 're ready to talk about it , you can call me . lulu : i will . maxie : okay , well , i hope everything works out for you . lulu : i hope everything works out for you , too . nathan : you give a hell of a pep talk . dante : that 's what partners are for , to tell you when you 're being stupid . nathan : [ chuckles ] thanks . dante : did it work ? nathan : you gave me some stuff to think about . dante : that 's good enough for me . i got to go out to the bullpen , see if i can find how long anna 's gon na be . good luck , man , with whatever you decide . nathan : thanks . [ sighs ] patrick : hey . just so you know , i did n't -- i did n't bring up my divorce to kind of put you on the spot and , you know , let you know that ... sam : yeah , no . no , i know . of course not . patrick : because i heard you loud and clear . i get it . you know , with everything that you and silas just went through and it 's just ... sam : right . patrick : you know , this is strictly business . sam : yeah , yeah . patrick : we 're going to amsterdam . we 're gon na find luke . sam : mm - hmm . patrick : and we 're gon na get some answers , right ? sam : yeah . patrick : you do n't have to worry about me leaning over and kissing you or anything like that . okay ? sam : okay ? patrick : just so you know . sam : i know . that 's ... it 's good to hear . elizabeth : i knew sam 's baby , little danny , was alive . and god help me , i lied to jason about it . monica : yes , but then you did the right thing , and you turned it around . elizabeth : yeah , but i still gave into that first bad impulse . i waited to tell what i knew because i knew it would bring jason and sam back together . jason and i were really close . we had been through so much together throughout our lives , and i just felt like ... we never got our moment , you know ? and now he 's gone , and ... monica : hey . it 's okay . nina : you gave carly a test . now i would like to give you a test . franco : i do n't understand . nina : well , it 's not really a test . um ... uh ... i would like to take you to lunch . franco : now i really do n't understand . give me my phone . nina : just ... franco : touch it like that . nina : i just ... want to take you to lunch -- without the phone . franco : i ca n't leave my phone here . what are you -- someone would take it . nina : what are you talk -- it 's just a phone . leave it at the nurses ' station . it 's not a big deal . seriously , what 's wrong with people ? they ca n't be without their electronic devices . franco : she does n't mean that . do n't listen to her . nina : [ scoffs ] if you go out to lunch with me , you will prove to me that you are done spying on carly . so i think it would be really fun . i 'm taking you , just the two of us . franco : where would we go ? nina : uh , the metro court has a really great tasting menu . that seems really fun . it 's -- it 's guaranteed to make your mouth water . franco : guaranteed to take hours and hours . nina : yeah , exactly . that 's the point . so , i think that this will be just the thing to get your mind off of carly , and you wo n't be so , you know , compelled to spy on her . what do you say ? are you in ? franco : i 'm in . nina : okay . sonny : there 's something between us , you know . i know you know it . carly : sonny ... even if that 's true , it does n't mean we should be together . we 've been down that road so many times , and we 've seen how it ends . you must know this is going to be a disaster . sonny : maybe , but ... it 's gon na be a beautiful one . [ clanging ] lulu : you were gone for so long , i actually attempted to make your mother 's bolognese . dante : mm - hmm . wow . that 's , um , even better than my mother makes . lulu : oh , you 're a terrible liar . i appreciate it , though . dante : yeah , i appreciate you making dinner . and i 'm sorry i had to leave you and rocco for so long , but anna was in a meeting . i had to wait till i could talk to her . lulu : did she have a problem with you not going to amsterdam ? dante : not at all . you know , she completely understood . lulu : good . i 'm glad to hear it . you know , rocco and i , we were not alone all night tonight . maxie stopped by . apparently nathan asked her on a date for tonight . she turned it down . dante : yes , i heard that . i talked to nathan . lulu : why did n't you tell me ? dante : when -- when was i supposed to tell you ? he just told me at the station . was i supposed to cut him off mid - sentence so i could phone you and tell you the news ? lulu : you could have texted me ! dante : okay . lulu : did you also know that even though maxie said no , nathan is still gon na be waiting for her at the metro court in case she changes her mind ? he 's determined . i like it . dante : i did know that . he told me that she was n't gon na be there , and i encouraged him to go anyway . lulu : i did the same for maxie . oh , they 'd be so good together . i hope she decides to go . dante : i hope she does n't break his heart . shall i clear this away for you , sir ? nathan : uh , no , no . i 'm waiting for someone . [ sighs ] would you like to order a drink while you wait ? nathan : uh , no , i 'll , um , i 'll wait . she should be here any minute . oh , i 'm fine . thanks . are you sure you do n't want to order anything ? nathan : no . i 'm just gon na leave . i 'm , uh , i 'm really sorry about , uh , keeping your table so long . here . not at all . nina : wow , you can slow down . i just -- slow down , please . franco : sorry . nina : thanks . i spent the whole afternoon eating . i was supposed to go out with silas . i ca n't take another bite . franco : it was totally worth it , though , right ? nina : yeah . franco : the food was awesome . nina : yeah , it was awesome . metro court 's tasting menu is incredible . franco : yes , it is . nancy ? nancy : yes ? franco : hi , i - i left my cell phone here , and i 'd like it back . nancy : ah . here it is . franco : thank you . hello . nina : hmm . franco : what ? nina : going to get my book in the conference room . franco : okay , nina . hold on . wait . i - i 'd like to thank you , and not just for the meal . you were right . nina : you passed the test . franco : i 'm gon na do you one better , okay ? i 'm gon na -- it does n't stop there . nina : okay , so impress me . franco : i 'll try . i 'm gon na delete the camera app . i do n't need this kind of challenge in my life anymore . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : hey . carly : hey . sonny : [ sighs ] you okay ? carly : no . i 'm not okay , because i spent the afternoon in my son 's apartment having sex with you . and my fiancé has no idea . excuse me , sir . sorry . you and your friend need to move your seats to the upright position . we 'll be landing shortly . patrick : thank you . hey . we 're landing . sam : what 's that ? patrick : put your seat up . amsterdam is right below us . hopefully we 'll find some answers . sam : yeah . nancy : elizabeth . elizabeth : hey , nancy . nancy : you 've been sitting with this patient for hours , and it 's not even your shift . maybe you should go home and get some rest . elizabeth : i just -- i told him i 'd be here when he woke up , but he has n't , so maybe he 's not ready . nancy : you should at least get up , stretch your legs , maybe grab some water . you 'll feel better . elizabeth : thanks . i will . okay . i 'll be right back . [ alarm beeps ] elizabeth : hey . hey , are you coming back to us ? [ next_on ] maxie : ( to nathan ) you 're just full of surprises , are n't you ? sam : ( to tracy ) we need to be here when this goes down . silas : sam and i are no longer together . elizabeth : ( to jason ) can you tell me your name ? nina : okay , please calm down , franco . sonny : ( to carly ) i think it 's time we let this out in the open .

finn : hey , travis . that 's -- that 's great news . thank you for the update . all right . i 'll talk to you soon . hey , i 'm in luck . travis is working security at gh tonight . hayden : well , i do n't know who that is or what that means . finn : uh , oh , he 's uh ... you know , he 's my friend . hayden : really ? i thought i was your only friend . finn : you 're right . friend might be pushing it . he owes me a favor . hayden : what did you do for him ? finn : oh , um ... well , his -- his mom was sick , and -- and he did n't have any insurance . so he asked me if i could , you know , treat her on the down - low , and i - i did . um ... look , none of that -- none of that matters . n - none of that matters . the point is , travis is on duty , so i can sneak in my lab . i can get my electro - thermal reaction station , which i need to continue my research , and then i can get out of there before being arrested . hayden : okay , so let me get this straight . you 're gon na trespass into a closed hospital where a psychopathic serial killer has been roaming the halls ? finn : hey , look , if i could get this piece of equipment at a hardware store , i - i would do it . i do n't have a choice if i want to find a cure for this disease . and why would a serial killer be hanging out at a place where there are n't any people ? that just does n't make any sense . i 'll be fine . hayden : i know you will . i 'm going with you . [ scene_break ] ava : look at morgan 's father . sonny went off his medication a few years ago , and you remember what happened . he blew up your life . he broke up you and morgan , and that 's when morgan came running to me . kiki : are you threatening me ? ava : what ? ! kiki : are you trying to say that you and morgan can start up any time ? ava : no ! of course not . [ scoffs ] wait , kiki , that is not that point . i want you to look at the bigger picture -- please . kiki : [ sighs ] ava : morgan will have to deal with this illness for the rest of his life . you will have to depend on him to be disciplined about his medication and his therapy and his self - monitoring for the rest of his life . and say what you want about morgan , discipline does not come natural . kiki , y - you 're a young , healthy woman . i just do n't understand why you want to saddle yourself with a man who is mentally ill . franco : okay , that 's enough . cut it out . ava : [ sighs ] franco : seriously , that 's enough fear - mongering . take off . ava : you take off . this is a private conversation between a mother and her daughter . franco : okay , well , if you want kiki to have a serious conversation about mental illness , she should talk to an expert . kiki : yeah . actually , i - i do want to talk to him . ava : i am not trying to cause you pain . i want to spare you from it . franco : right , 'cause that you -- mother courage . ava : mark my words -- morgan will hurt you again . but no matter how many times he does , i promise you , i will always be there to help you pick up the pieces . [ scene_break ] morgan : hey . thanks for seeing me so late . i was n't even sure you were still working . andré : oh , come in . gh being closed is unfortunate , but i 'd never abandon my patients . i mean , this office is n't perfect , but it will do temporarily . i 'm glad you called me . so , tell me , what 's going on ? morgan : i 'm losing it , doc -- big time . all i keep thinking about is going back to freedman , which is just such a stupid name for that place , because the last thing you are there is free . andré : okay , morgan , let 's talk this through one beat at a time . morgan : i 'm not kidding , doc . i will run away before i go back to that place . [ scene_break ] dillon : do n't do it ! get away from her . paul : [ sighing ] dillon , get out of here . get away ! dillon : you want me to go away ? you think i can pretend that i did n't see all of this ? forget that i 'm watching you try to kill my mom ? no , dad , i 'm not going anywhere . not until you let mom go . [ scene_break ] morgan : stuff went down , doc . some of it my parents know about . some they do n't , and i do n't want them to know about it . andré : look -- morgan : ' kay ? andré : i ca n't help you unless you give me specifics . and you know that anything you say to me is confidential . it stays between you and me . so , let 's ease into this . what are the things that your parents and kiki know about ? morgan : i got in a couple fights . i mean , `` fights `` is not really accurate . it was more like i -- basically , i hit two guys . andré : why ? morgan : one of them joe rivera . andré : i 'm familiar with joe -- pediatric surgeon . he was visiting gh to do some research . morgan : yeah , he 's carlos rivera 's brother . anyway , he showed up at the quartermaines ' , which is where my brother lives , on the day that sabrina died and just demanded that my brother give him sabrina 's son . i mean , the guy showed no respect . he showed no compassion , so yeah , i got pissed . andré : okay , and who was the other man ? morgan : julian jerome , which i - it 's ridiculous that that guy 's even walking around town a free man . andré : okay , i 'm not going to try and minimize what you did . you assaulted two men . you could go to jail for either action . morgan : yes , i know that . that 's why i 'm freaked out . andré : but on a positive note , you came to see me . before each of the assaults , what were you feeling ? morgan : i was pissed . i was upset . i feel like -- i felt like the world could n't be right unless i beat the crap out of those two guys . and for the record , i did n't . andré : because you stopped yourself , or because someone else stopped you ? okay . i have to ask , how angry were you ? were you feeling like you wanted them dead ? [ scene_break ] kiki : thank you for chasing my mother off . she 's always been anti - morgan , but today was particularly bad . franco : ava 's not known for her fairness or for her sensitivity , but she 's not always wrong . so , what specifically did morgan do this time that ava 's so down on him ? kiki : she still blames him ... for what happened to me when -- franco : right . when you were shot . which is a terrible memory . not just for me , for your mother , i 'm sure , as well . it was horrible seeing you in that hospital bed like that . kiki : i do n't need another lecture about morgan . franco : oh , you think that 's what this is ? you think i 'm gon na advise you to stay away from him , because he 's volatile and unpredictable . and because , uh , he 's always gon na be like that . and possibly , you 're not safe . kiki : so , you 're just gon na go ahead and give me the lecture anyway . franco : no , no , no , i 'm not . i 'm not , not at all . i 'm fine with your relationship with morgan . i have to be . kiki : what ? you have to be ? franco : well , if i tell you to stay away from morgan , i pretty much have to tell elizabeth to run screaming away from me . [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm not leaving you , mom . dad is not gon na hurt me , and i 'm not gon na let him hurt you . paul : i need to do this for your sister ! dillon : what does my mom have to do with susan ? paul : she did n't -- not in the beginning . but she saw me -- she saw me talking to susan and telling her that i was avenging her -- that i killed everyone for her ! dillon : all those people at the hospital ? paul : i had to ! the system failed her , dillon ! the only way to make them pay was me ! dillon : anna told me her theory -- that you were the gh killer . i did n't believe it . i could n't . not my dad ! all those helpless people in their hospital beds that went to gh for treatment , and you preyed on them ! what kind of man does that ? ! [ voice breaking ] i do n't know my sister very well , dad , but i know that susan would not agree with all of this . and when she finds out that you did all of this in her name , she 's not gon na want you to be her dad any more than i do .

[ chuckles ] i do -- i do take you seriously . so , seriously , what bank did you rob ? scott : no bank was robbed . ever since i got your brother acquitted , criminals -- they 're just lining up for me to represent them . in fact , i 'm flush . they 're just coming every -- look at this . i just made up this new campaign i concocted for myself . what do you think ? [ hip - hop music plays ] scott : [ rapping ] you are not throwing away your shot as long as you got scott you are not throwing away your shot as long , as long as you got scott what do you think ? ava : [ laughing ] that is ... scott : brilliant , huh ? ! ava : that is absolutely brilliant . scott : and what about my rapping ? good , huh ? ava : yeah , you know . one think i can say about you , scott , is that you truly are ... unforgettable . scott : [ clears throat ] well , you know what ? um , i know you do n't mean that as a compliment , but i 'm going to take it as a compliment because i 've got some really great news that i 'm excited about . i know who the prime suspect is in the general hospital killings . ava : i was n't aware that they even had a suspect . i mean , why would anybody tell you ? scott : tell me ? i 'm a lawyer . i was at the pcpd . i heard the discussion about getting a warrant . ava : well , for pete 's sake , scott , just tell me who it is ! scott : well , it 's , uh , it 's someone that 's gon na surprise you , someone that you know well , someone that no one would ever figure out . ava : just tell me ! scott : our district attorney ... paul hornsby . [ scene_break ] hayden : i had no idea how creepy it would be to see the hospital shut down . finn : oh , how i wish i 'd been able to convince you not to come . hayden : you know i 'm stubborn . we need to focus on you finding a cure so you can stop threatening to die on me . finn : huh . [ chuckles ] lucy : i was so flattered when you asked me and chose me to scout the property . you know , i am port charles ' go - to realtor . you know , the confusing thing for me , though , is why did we decide to , um , take pictures of the building in the dark ? you know , i - i do realize that are you a gh board member , which gives you total access , but , um , truthfully , i was -- i was a bit surprised . until you called , i had n't realized general hospital was for sale . [ scene_break ] andré : do your parents know what you did ? morgan : yeah . so of course , they 're worried -- asking me if i 'm taking my medication . i told them i was . i am . you know , and then i - i - i had a heart - to- heart with my dad because , you know , he 's dealt with the same illness , so i feel like he can understand me . andré : are there any changes to your routine ? morgan : yeah . college , which is a lot harder than i thought . i 'm trying to get a business degree , you know . i want to make a better future for me and kiki . um , it 's important to me that i make her proud , that i make my folks proud . but there 's this -- there 's this one class , and i just -- i just could n't get a grip on it . so i - i - i did something stupid . i bought a paper online . and , you know , just before i got here , my dean called -- wants to see me in the office in the morning . i 'm sure they caught me cheating , and now i 'm just -- i 'm gon na get kicked out . andré : well , are you sure ? kicking you out for your first mistake ? morgan : yes , pcu has a zero - tolerance policy for cheating . [ sighs , groans ] i do n't know how i 'm gon na tell my parents this . this is ... my mom gave me this tonight . it 's jade . it 's supposed to bring me peace . you know , she said she was so proud of me , how i 'm handling things in -- in my life , except i 'm not . you know , i do n't know what to do . what am i gon na say to kiki ? i mean , she was so excited when i turned in my paper . andré : what are you afraid kiki 's reaction will be ? morgan : i 'm afraid that when she finds out i 've been lying to her , she 's gon na break up with me again . [ scene_break ] kiki : are you trying to compare yourself to morgan ? franco : yes , i suppose that i am . kiki : well , i do n't see the connection . you see , morgan 's never kidnapped , tormented , or purposely victimized anyone , so ... franco : right , i was violent because i had a tumor . my brain did n't work right . and now that it 's been removed , i 'm only partially unbalanced . but morgan , on the other hand -- bipolar disorder , right ? and before he was diagnosed , he went a little nuts -- took you to that cabin , tried to take on all those gun smugglers . kiki : yes , i get your point . but ... just like you , after you got your tumor removed , you changed . morgan -- he 's -- he 's on medication now . he 's changed , and as long as he keeps taking his pills , he can lead a very normal life . franco : you really think that ? kiki : morgan assures me that he 's still taking his meds , but , you know , he 's said some pretty paranoid stuff lately . franco : what 'd he say to you ? kiki : morgan does n't think i 'm supportive enough . he 's doubting me . and i do n't know . morgan -- he used to be so fun and spontaneous , but now i feel like i 'm just walking on eggshells , trying to avoid saying the next thing that 's gon na set him off . so i just keep reassuring him over and over and over again . franco : right . well , that does n't sound like a good relationship . kiki : can i tell you something ? but you have to promise that you wo n't repeat it to anyone . franco : sure , no , absolutely . kiki : well ... i know this is gon na sound really selfish , but ... sometimes i think to myself , `` what about me ? `` you know ? if this is the best morgan 's gon na ever get , what about my needs ? who 's gon na take care of me ? [ scene_break ] paul : everything i did , i did to get justice for susan . dillon : my mom never hurt susan ! paul : your mother was in the wrong place at the wrong time , dillon ! dillon : and killing her was gon na help your daughter ? paul : and i - i ca n't have anna arrest me . i need to be free to help susan . dillon : dad , that makes no sense . it is over . anna : hey , dillon ! do n't you try to be a hero . dillon : no , i have to help my mom . [ scene_break ] ava : the cops are zeroing in on paul as the gh serial killer , huh ? oh , my god . scott : yeah , our own district attorney is a serial killer . from what i understand , they 're putting quite a case together against him . ava : [ gasps ] scott : i would hate to be the poor fool that has to represent him . ava : scott ! you have to represent paul . and not just represent him . you have to win . scott : why ? why do you care so much ? [ scene_break ] hayden : the hospital 's for sale ? did you hear that ? finn : shh ! lucy : look , let me just tell you this . if you would specify your needs -- the things you like about this building -- i guarantee you , i can find over at least a dozen other commercial buildings to show you by , say , tomorrow , because really , if someone told you that general hospital is actually for sale , they were sadly mistaken . i mean , it 's gon na reopen , and it 's gon na be better than ever 'cause it 's gon na survive this crisis with bells on . so , really , general hospital is not going away . man : maybe it is . lucy : no , n - no , it 's not . that does n't make any sense . port charles really needs general hospital . man : well , the property could be re - purposed . lucy : repur -- re - purposed ? as what ? man : luxury condominiums . [ scene_break ] andré : pcu is going to expel you . your parents are going to be disappointed , and , probably , so will kiki . but , morgan , everyone makes mistakes . it 's how we deal with them that matters . your parents and kiki are n't going to write you off forever because of this . morgan : you know what , doc ? maybe if this was my first mistake , you 'd be right , but it 's not my first . it 's not my second . it 's like my millionth . [ sighs ] i do n't get it . every time i tried to write that paper , i just got distracted . andré : and people will understand that . morgan : yeah , but that 's not what i told people . i told people i was doing great . you know , `` look at me . i 'm mr. joe college juggling , you know , a job and school , `` and that was just a lie . andré : morgan , i 'm sure your father has already explained to you your battle with your disease is going to last your whole life . maybe you jumped into school too soon , put too much pressure on yourself . i thought we 'd gotten a handle on your medications , but we can always adjust those again . morgan : [ sighs ] andré : i know you do n't want to , but first thing 's first . you ca n't deal with your mistakes until you admit them . you have to acknowledge that you 're going to be expelled and why -- to yourself , to your parents , and to kiki . [ scene_break ] franco : i do n't think you 're selfish . i think you 're smart to think of your own needs . morgan has a disease . maybe his medication is off . kiki : i do n't know . the first few months that morgan was out of freedman , things were so good . i mean , yeah , he was kind of pushy and sort of needy sometimes , but he 'd been in that clinic for so long , i understood why he was anxious to get back to real life . but overall , he was -- he was loving , and he was caring , and he was kind . franco : so something 's changed ? kiki : now everything 's about morgan . what 's morgan doing ? how does morgan feel ? i do n't know what happened to make him change . franco : okay . now , i took your side against your mom , because i thought that being with morgan made you happy . kiki : oh , he does . franco : was i wrong or did i do something wrong ? kiki : he makes me happy -- most of the time . and i was so excited for him when he finished that paper , i bought us tickets to go see hypothermia . franco : oh , that reminds me . i 've got to get tickets for elizabeth and i to go see norovirus . kiki : [ laughs ] franco : what ? no . okay . all right , you 're right . you 're right . i - i make jokes because ... ... sometimes it 's hard for me to be truthful . i 'm gon na tell you this , okay ? if it 's difficult to be with morgan , if it 's not the relationship you want , you do n't have to stay in it . kiki : but i love him .

[ chuckles ] sh -- she 's better . yeah . she was all tucked in before i drove over here . kiki : oh , i 'm surprised you left . i would 've expected you to be hovering over her and making sure she 's still breathing . franco : actually , i have hired 24-hour , around - the - clock professional care for just that . kiki : oh , is n't that , like , really expensive ? franco : it is an astronomical amount of money , actually . kiki : so , that means you 're pulling out all the stops for elizabeth . is it working ? franco : [ laughs ] all right . so , she was gon na take a nap earlier , and she asked me if i would be there when she woke up . and that was great . that felt really great . kiki : aww . so , she 's not afraid ... of who you used to be . franco : i believe her position on that is evolving . my mother , on the other hand ... uh , you know , heather actually believed that i was the gh serial killer . [ scene_break ] andré : morgan , this is n't the end of the world . morgan : well , then why does it feel like it 's the end of the world , doc ? [ both sigh ] andré : you know , between your panic and your physical assault of two men , it 's clear to me that something 's seriously wrong . morgan : what are you saying ? are you saying that -- th - that i need to go back to freedman ? andré : no . morgan : is that what you 're talking about ? andré : no , no , i do n't think we 're at that point yet , but it appears your medication is n't having the effect that we wanted , and i will take responsibility for that . morgan : that 's great . well , while you 're taking responsibility , you want to take responsibility for me cheating and getting kicked out of school , too ? andré : morgan , what you need to do is tell your parents and kiki that you 're still experiencing the highs and lows that come with bipolar disorder . no one 's going to fault you for that . in the morning , first thing , i want you to go to this lab for blood work . i will check the results ... and i 'll go over them , so that we can get a better handle , okay ? we can get a better handle on your meds . morgan : okay . andré : morgan , you made a mistake , but you do need to own up to what you did . do i have your word that you 'll do that ? [ scene_break ] ava : come on , scott ! you owe me ! you were supposed to get me that flash drive where i talked about killing connie falconeri , and you did n't ! paul has it . scott : i still ca n't believe what you told me about this trial , that -- hornsby allowed me to pick all those jurors ? ava : yes . scott : and he changed the address on that wire tap ? ava : yes . scott : what about alexis ? she was drunk up there . what -- what did -- did he slip her a mickey ? ava : i do n't know . he did n't tell me every detail of his plans . he just assured me that he would get my brother acquitted . scott : sabrina was killed on the day of the trial . and you knew about hornsby being the killer , and you were blackmailing him . ava : no , you 're getting off topic . scott : no , no , no . i 'm just connecting the dots , here . you did n't turn him in to the police . you allowed him to continue killing because you wanted to get your brother and you off of all those murders that you committed .

[ scene_break ] lucy : so someone is going to turn general hospital into condominiums ? i do n't think so . that -- no , there is no way -- absolutely no way . tracy quartermaine would never allow that to happen . man : tracy has a lot on her plate right now . she does n't need to be bothered . lucy : bothered ? you listen to me . mark my words right now . look , this place , this general hospital -- i - it 's more than just a building . it 's -- it 's a sanctuary . it 's a home -- a family . look , you know . you 're on the board . i host the nurses ' ball , and it 's such a special thing because the whole town of port charles and all the staff of general hospital come together , and we do good things . we raise money and awareness for aids and hiv . you can not tell me that all might be gone . man : i guess i should have started this conversation by telling you about my associate 's plans to relocate gh in a different building . lucy : so gh is n't ... going away ? it 's just moving ? man : that 's the plan . lucy : all righty , then . hey , um ... well , if you can give me your complete assurances that gh is n't gone , then perhaps we should just continue our tour , shall we ? hayden : do you really think that guy 's associate is gon na relocate general hospital ? finn : oh , yeah . a real - estate developer that cares about people ? yeah , i would n't hold my breath . hayden : you 're right . i know enough about greedy people to know that if this deal goes through , that 's the end of general hospital . finn : [ scoffs ] 50-plus years of helping the sick and the vulnerable . who cares about that when you can make a few bucks selling condos ? hayden : and it could all happen before anyone can step in to stop it .

[ scene_break ] anna : if you can not afford an attorney , one will be appointed for you . do you understand your rights as i 've read them to you ? paul : what 's gon na happen to my daughter ?

paul is ready to inject tracy with the lethal poison when dillon and anna find them . anna pulls a gun on paul ordering him to drop the needle yet he does not listen . dillon then tells his dad if he intends to go through with this , he will have to kill his son also . paul protests that he had to get justice for susan after the staff at general hospital ruined her life . after assessing that his father murdered many innocent people at the hospital , dillon demands to know how that will help susan . anna urges paul to honor his daughter , not be a coward and own what he has done . paul does not listen to anything they say , however , and realizes now that they are onto him for what he did , he will go to prison for murder , and so the only thing to do is take his own life . yet dillon prevents him from injecting himself . anna takes paul away and dillon and tracy are both free and safe although devastated and shocked to find out that his father has murdered many people including the mom of a baby . meanwhile , ava makes it clear that she wants kiki to see how sick and how much of a burden morgan is to her and end their relationship . yet kiki continues to refuse to listen to her mom . she does , however , admit to franco , that she wishes her life did not have the restrictions that she lives with by being with morgan . ava later talks to scott and reveals to him , for the first time , that she knows that paul hornsby is the hospital killer . the reason her brother got acquitted is not due to scott 's brilliant legal expertise . it was because she motivated paul to free julian or else she 'd expose his secret that she knows of . she further informs scott that she is taking drastic action to cause morgan to lose it and convince kiki to break upon with him , by refilling his meds with something he 's not supposed to take , without his knowing . she explains her theory that she has seen that paul 's son dillon wants to be with kiki , as well as knowing kiki would rather be with him than with morgan and is merely obligating herself because of morgan 's illness . she figures that dillon will have one good thing come from losing his father by being with kiki after she breaks up with morgan . morgan will in turn , reveal how sick he is , given that he does not have the meds he believes he is taking and after kiki has broken up with him . hearing that , scott admits that he does not think she has any business playing with people 's lives given that morgan has a mental illness . meanwhile , morgan knows something is `` not right `` and goes to talk to andre , who assesses that he wants to get to the bottom of whether these meds are right for him or not . morgan admits to his shrink he 's afraid of revealing his personal issues to kiki or to his parents , afraid he will lose his girlfriend and have consequences he can not face . meanwhile , finn and hayden manage to sneak into the darkened and closed hospital and overhear lucy coe talking to a guy who is planning on buying the property and possibly relocating port charles . general hospital elsewhere , and they both wonder what this will mean to many people .

[ scene_break ] valentin : the shared - custody agreement is just a temporary cease - fire . lulu wo n't stop until i 'm completely out of charlotte 's life . nina : oh , she can try all she wants . she 's never going to succeed . seriously , the self - righteousness of lulu drives me crazy . and i feel her pain . she thinks you killed her brother . and if it were j ? [ scoffs ] it 's unimaginable . but she knows nikolas was making questionable decisions about his life , and he 'd just come back from faking his own death . so , for charlotte 's sake , lulu should suck this up . valentin : lulu subscribes to her take on the world and her take only . it 's black and white . it 's right or wrong . she thinks i do n't know the difference . nina : but that makes no sense , because you always put charlotte first . you love charlotte so much . that 's the first thing i noticed about you , notwithstanding the great sex . it 's why i fell in love with you . valentin : great sex ? nina : [ chuckles ] [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't know if you remember this , but when we first got together ...

[ scene_break ] finn : did you really just call me a terrible spy ? anna : yes ! if you were a field agent , you would 've been just banished to research or -- or dismissed on the spot . finn : i 'm not a field agent , nor do i have any desire to be one . in fact , it was very poor judgment on your part to even insert me into this little game of cloak and dagger , and i told you as much . so if you do n't like how i play the game , well , that 's on you . anna : okay . just calm down . calm down . finn : i 'm calm . anna : we 'll just come at it from another angle , that 's all . finn : why ? do n't you get it ? this is over . by this point , cassandra 's probably shoved my card into a drawer if not thrown it in the trash , and we 're never going to see her again .

[ carly sighs ] carly : then she tells me how `` you `` think johnny might be the one who killed leticia . jason : it 's a possibility . carly : then lulu admits that she and johnny are text - messaging each other . jason : so -- carly : so i had to find out if johnny was responsible for leticia 's murder . jason : what , you texted johnny , pretending to be lulu to set up a meeting ? carly : leticia was like family to me . jason : you should 've come to me and let me deal with this , carly . carly : and you should ask my opinion about lulu moving in with you , but you did n't . jason : oh ! will you just tell me everything johnny said ? carly : nothing about leticia if that 's what you 're getting at . jason : start from the beginning . any small detail could be useful .

[ scene_break ] ric : sorry for the interruption . skye : i take it that was about your daughter ? ric : oh , was my voice carrying ? skye : not really . but you looked pretty livid , and so is alexis . and in my experience , the only thing that causes that level of fury to rise is when the question of your child 's custody is at hand . ric : okay , cards on the table . you allowed jason morgan to kill lorenzo alcazar because you wanted your daughter protected , okay ? now a man just like alcazar -- potentially more dangerous -- is hanging around alexis . so , how far do you think i 'm willing to go to protect my own daughter ? [ scene_break ] emily : why do n't we try to reconstruct why you lost control , okay ? maybe there 's some sort of trigger to your outbursts . nikolas : uh -- no . no , i do n't think so . because this -- i mean , this rage -- whatever it is -- it 's -- it 's out of proportion to the -- to the reason . with logan , it was obviously because of what he 'd done to lulu . but with you at the metro court , it was just because you had gone to jax for help , that 's it . emily : you were furious . nikolas : i know . i mean , all i really remember is -- is the anger just rising up inside me , but the rest of the argument is -- it 's just a blank . please tell me i did n't hurt you . [ scene_break ] carly : johnny and i only talked for a few minutes . jason : and what was your impression ? carly : he 's scary , violent , and unpredictable , and he likes pulling guns on people . jason : did he pull one on you ? carly : he 's a wild card , okay ? he had a couple of handlers with him that were used to him getting into fights and causing trouble . but when i fished around about whether he had been in port charles before the night he met lulu , i got the feeling he had n't . but lulu is on his radar . when i told him to stay away , he only wanted her more . this is a disaster waiting to happen . jason : then do me a favor -- please do n't make it worse . [ scene_break ] maxie : logan ! logan , it 's maxie ! [ scene_break ] lulu : johnny is a guy i met the night i found out about you and maxie . logan : you met -- you met the guy on the street ? lulu : i was hitchhiking and johnny picked me up . logan : oh -- lulu , do you -- do you have any idea how dangerous that is ? there are all kind of maniacs just roaming around , waiting to pick up some girl -- that guy , johnny , is living proof of that . lulu : oh , enough with the lectures , okay ? i get the picture . logan : then why are you being so friendly to the guy , huh ? lulu : it does n't matter ! i am probably never going to see johnny again , which is fine by me because i 'm not big on people waving guns around . but sorry to burst your bubble -- johnny is not the reason why i wo n't get back together with you . you did that all by yourself when you lied and cheated and slept with me on a bet with maxie , and then topped it off by sleeping with her , too . logan : look , okay , you know that was before - lulu : oh , stop ! stop it , save it . why would i get back together with someone who treated me like crap ? logan : okay , look , i know this sounds so corny , but you 've made me a better person . do n't you understand ? i 'm different when i 'm with you . i care about you so much , and i know you still care about me because i -- i saw it -- i saw it in your eyes when i was talking about scott being my father . lulu : i felt really bad for you . you were seriously messed up . and if you think that i 'm going to be the one to save you , you 're wrong . [ scene_break ] logan : what are you doing here ? maxie : well , i thought i 'd finish off my lousy night by visiting you . logan : maxie , seriously , i am not in the mood . go bother coop or something . i do n't -- maxie : i had dinner with coop at the metro court . i got all dressed my heart on the line . he basically threw it back at me and told me i needed to do some serious work on self - improvement . logan : can you blame the guy ? maxie : i thought he 'd miss me just a little . logan : you came all the way over here to tell me this ? maxie : oh , no , i thought i 'd pay coop back by sleeping with you again . i mean , you could always turn me down out of loyalty to lulu , but where 's that gotten you ? logan : hmm . you know , maxie , i 've had one hell of a day . i got confirmation that baldwin is my loser father . i got held up at a park by some guy with a gun who i 'm pretty sure lulu has the hots for . so why not top all that off by sleeping with the bitch that ruined my life ? oh . [ scene_break ] carly : how are you ? lulu : not good . carly : i want you to know i met with johnny zacchara and i told him to stay away from you . lulu : well , it must not have worked , because i just saw johnny . carly : what did he say to you ? lulu : no , you first . you tell me how you got johnny to meet you . carly : you told me you were texting him , so i stole his number from your phone , i started texting him , and i pretended to be you . lulu : how could you ? carly , i trusted you ! carly : and i 'm worried about you . i do n't want you to end up like leticia . lulu : oh [ scene_break ] spinelli : stone cold , i welcome you home with great relief . did you get my many messages ? jason : yes , i did . and i 've spoken to carly , and i know she met with johnny zacchara . spinelli : okay , well , did she mention that mr. corinthos , sir received a second message from the killer ? jason : no , she left that part out . spinelli : okay . well , mr. corinthos , sir has instructed me to hack into the warped one 's accounts to see if there 's a possibility he sent another message from another phone . jason : mm - hmm ? [ spinelli sighs ] spinelli : um -- if mr. corinthos , sir is correct , then the warped one is truly insane , and i -- i tremble to think of what he 'll do next . [ scene_break ] alexis : no that i 'm not firing you -- lucky you -- as my client , we should probably go over your petition and check into your assets in the swiss bank account . alexis : i 'm not angry . jerry : no , no , i understand , but why do n't you take a moment and calm down , all right ? if only because we 're dealing with large amounts of currency . i would hate for you to inadvertently drop a zero and lose a few million dollars of my money . alexis : i 'm perfectly capable of conducting business . jerry : yes , and i understand that , i understand that . it 's just the idea of you being hauled into custody court for representing me is very unsettling . i mean , you probably know that i have absolutely no inclination towards self- sacrifice , but i do n't want to be the reason you lose your daughter . alexis : ric got custody of my daughter because i was too sick to fight . he voluntarily returned her , and there 's absolutely little or no chance that he 'll ever get her back . jerry : again , i -- i 'm not one to make moral judgments , but as i understand it , ric took your daughter away while you were battling cancer ? which begs the question -- and , again , it may sound strange for me , but -- why 'd you get involved with such a soulless creep in the first place ? [ scene_break ] skye : i know how far i 'd go to protect lila , and i 'm sympathetic to you about your concern for molly . but do n't mess up things with alexis , ric , because if you fight her again , you 're not going to win . ric : i did before . skye : the woman was debilitated by cancer , she was caught smoking marijuana -- i doubt those circumstances are going to repeat themselves . i 'm telling you , if you want to drag alexis back into family court , she can and will find any way she can to paint herself as the victim and you as the bully . so you have to ask yourself , what do you want for molly , hmm ? do you want to fight ? or do you want to have some kind of a working truce where you might have to just suck it up and deal with a situation you might not particularly like ? ric : jerry jacks is not a situation , okay , he 's an amoral psychopath . skye : alexis is a conscientious mother , we all know that . she may be interested in him , she may even flirt with him a little bit , but she will not get involved with the man , and she will certainly not bring him home to spend time with her children . ric : yeah , well , maybe you , because , you know , you can admit when you 're wrong , alexis ca n't . if she says that jerry jacks is perfectly fine , then that 's what we 're all expected to believe , okay , and if she has to bring him around kristina and molly in order to make her point , she 's going to do it . look , i ca n't let that happen . i have to do what 's best for my child and act in her best interest . trevor : excuse me . ric : ahem . trevor : i need to talk to you , richard . ric : skye and i are in the middle of dinner . trevor : oh , i 'm sorry , but this is a family matter . it 'll only take a couple of minutes . skye : certainly . i have to call and check on my daughter anyway . trevor : thank you . ric : a family matter , huh ? trevor : leticia juarez , sonny 's nanny -- i need you to close down the investigation into her murder . [ scene_break ] emily : i do n't believe you 'd ever hurt me , nikolas . nikolas : i wish i had your confidence . what if i lose control with you the way i did with logan and jerry ? emily : see , that 's my point . you got physically violent with two people that you dislike . anyone who knows what jerry 's done to you would say that you 're perfectly justified . it seems that whatever 's happening to you is magnifying your anger so that it overwhelms the rational part of your brain , the part that throws up barriers and allows you to act with restraint . nikolas : i -- i do n't know . emily : i 'm sure when logan humiliated lulu , you wanted to throttle him . this chemical imbalance -- or whatever it is -- throws away those barriers that would ordinarily stop you from acting on that impulse . nikolas : okay , so what you 're basically saying is i 'm still myself , just a little angrier ? emily : oh -- [ nikolas chuckles ] emily : yeah , i can live with that . nikolas : i 'm really sorry i yelled at you . emily : apology accepted . so as long as you do n't yell at me when i drag in from the hospital and leave my scrubs all over the floor -- nikolas : ooh , i -- emily : oh -- nikolas : i do n't know . emily : then i think i can manage this . nikolas : okay . it 's a deal .

[ scene_break ] brenda : you know what the biggest problem was in our relationship ? it was trust . no trust . look , here we are , almost a decade later , and you still do n't believe that what i am saying to you is the truth for me . sonny : what i do believe is that you do n't want to get hurt , and you 're holding back . and that 's why you 're making up any kind of excuse you can so we do n't ha another chance . brenda : yeah . you 're right . i 'm afraid . so maybe i 'm a little bit afraid because i know it ca n't work between us , and i know that no matter what we do to try to make it work , things are always going to fall apart for us . sonny : i told myself the same thing , that we 're better off apart . but things changed when i walked in here . and we 're doing this thing over again . i mean , the timing is crazy . but i -- there 's a connection . and , you know ... all the good intentions in the world ca n't match ... what we 've always felt for each other .

[ scene_break ] shawn : michael noticed something was off at the warehouse . sonny : off how ? michael : well , i could n't grab hold of it . at first , i thought something was missing or misplaced , but then i started thinking in reverse , like there was more stock than when i took inventory . shawn : and he was right . i found seven bags of what looked like uncut hydrocodone on a pallet mixed in with bags of coffee . sonny : a frame job . shawn : now , after the bakery got busted , somebody got stuck with product they could n't move . picked your one legit business to plant it . sonny : not somebody . the zaccharas . shawn : whoever . dante probably walked in on 'em . sonny : where are the drugs now ? shawn : that 's a ... conversation for just you and me . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , dante 's in the very best possible hands , medically speaking , but you know what 's really gon na speed his recovery ? you .

[ scene_break ] maxie : can i come in ? matt : why start asking permission now ? maxie : on a scale of one to ten , how angry are you ? will you forgive me ? matt : for what ? maxie : ignoring you . i 've spent all this time on the wedding , plus throw in the extra hours at work , and i have n't really spent much time left for us . matt : yeah . we used to make time . maxie : you said you wanted to have a picnic up on the roof . was that to tell me you got published ? matt : yeah , well , i had this crazy idea that it might be something special enough to warrant a celebration . maxie : and i blew you off . i 've been a terrible girlfriend . matt : no , actually , you 've been a perfect girlfriend -- very independent . it was exactly what i needed to do all this research and get my paper written . in fact , i should thank you . maxie : well , i vaguely knew that you were working on something , but i did n't ask . i mean , i figured i would n't be able to understand it . i 'm a lot of things , but a brain surgeon is n't one of them . look , matt , i 'm really sorry . i really should have paid more attention , and ... i do n't know if it matters anymore , but i 'm really proud of you . matt : it matters . god help me .

[ scene_break ] tracy : you act like i 'm the only one with skeletons in the closet . anthony : aha , but there 's a difference . i keep mine in line . i 'm willing to bet you 'll do just about anything to keep daddy quartermaine from finding out you made off with millions in dirty money from the soleito family coffers and used it to resuscitate elq . his heart probably could n't take news like that . tracy : you made your point . anthony : so , you 're asking for my silence ? tracy : yes . anthony : that 'll cost you . tracy : duh . anthony : this is gon na be so good . tracy : just tell me what you want . anthony : one night of passion . no excuses . no substitutions . me and you . a nice , cushy hotel room . and ... the morning after . i 'll let you know when , but i can promise it 'll be soon . i wo n't be able to wait long . oh ... something you should know . i 'm a cuddler . [ scene_break ] sonny : well , i was under the impression that the cops showed up to search the warehouse . shawn : yeah , they did . sonny : and i know ronnie dimestico . he 's a dog with a bone when it comes to putting me behind bars , so i ca n't imagine him just -- you know , walking away . shawn : they ran , actually . some of them , anyway . i assembled and planted a bomb . sonny : you carry c-4 around just in case ? shawn : ordinary items can cause a decent blast . all you need is a basic knowledge of high - school chemistry . sonny : resourceful . shawn : thanks . sonny : but what i 'm saying is , it must have been difficult to get the drugs past the cops . where are the drugs now ? shawn : now , do n't you , uh , think we should talk about this another time ? michael : so , you would n't have found the drugs if it had n't been for me and now you 're trying to cut me out ? sonny : mike , mike . shawn : look , you found dante . okay , the cops are gon na be asking you a lot of questions . now , it 's better to have deniability than get caught making a false statement . sonny : i do n't want you involved here anyway . michael : if i had n't gotten involved , you 'd be behind bars right now . look , i noticed something was off , and i called max . it was my first instinct . sonny : but that 's what i 'm talking about . you were willing to let your brother bleed so i would n't go to prison . michael : but dante 's fine . sonny : what if it 'd gone the other way ? would you be able to live with yourself if your brother died because you did n't get him any help ? !

connie : but you did . did n't you ? you let joe jr. rape me . you let kate get shot . so much for promises , right ? todd : how hard is it to find one measly psychopath ? find a crazy blond lady with a huge syringe full of lsd . yeah , that was a joke . you need to find that bad - luck troll before the cops do . i 'm paying you good money . you go find heather webber . starr : why do you need to find heather webber ? mcbain : [ sighs ] hi . tea : john . what a surprise . to what do i owe the pleasure ? sam : jason ... is something wrong ? jason : yeah , there is . sam : is it about elizabeth ? jason : no . i 've been working on something . it 's -- it 's important . todd : sneaking up on me . how 'd you get in here ? is that delinquent boyfriend of yours sharing the tricks of his trade ? starr : michael 's trade is college , and you gave me a card key . todd : right . i still do n't like michael . he is a bad influence on you . what are you doing here ? starr : you told me that any time i wanted to come here that you wanted me to have it feel like home . todd : not any time . i mean , now 's not a good time . i 'm a little edgy . starr : well , yeah , i can see that . what do you want with heather webber , was it ? todd : that lunatic is holding a grudge . i did n't send enough lawyers , guns , and money when she went on her killing / poisoning / kidnapping spree . starr : a lot of people hold a grudge against you , dad . you do n't send men after johnny , sonny ... todd : no , of course not , because i know where they are still . starr : ... john mcbain , aunt dorian , aunt kelly , aunt cassie ... todd : yeah , i do n't have a problem with the witches of llanview -- well , maybe dorian . i get it , i get it . nobody likes me . what 's your point ? starr : do you want to get back at all of them ? is that what 's going on ? todd : no , because none of them ... would be stupid enough to try and get back at me by hurting the people that i care about . starr : i do n't even know heather . todd : yeah , well , you should thank your lucky stars . and hide your cutlery . starr : and did n't she escape from a mental institution ? would n't she want to stay as far away from port charles as possible ? todd : yeah , any normal crazy person would , but ... that lunatic ? after she flew her cuckoo 's nest , she could be in tierra del fuego . i 'm half - expecting her to hop out of that wardrobe . starr : would n't it make more sense for you to concentrate on an enemy a little closer to home ? todd : i 'm not worried about sonny . starr : i 'm not talking about sonny . i 'm talking about the person who killed cole and hope . carly : what kind of dirt does connie have on you ? it 's got to be bad because you 're afraid to tell me what it is . is it the mob ?

johnny : you know i did . carly : that 's why i gave you another chance . and it is what you do with it ? johnny : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt you . carly : i do n't want your apology , okay ? i want you to tell me how this happened . how the hell could you be going behind my back with anyone ? but connie ? johnny : it 's the truth , all right ? carly : was this some big joke to you ? johnny : no . no ! we were never a joke . carly : you loved me , right ? i inspired you . you were committed to me and only me , and you meant every word , right ? but somehow you needed your whore on the side ? but not even a real whore . connie is a symptom of a mental illness , so please tell me , johnny , what is it that connie can give you that no other woman can ?

connie : yeah . got to tell you , you are a sound sleeper . sonny : if that 's true , why 'd it take you so long to ... to take over ? connie : was n't the right time . sonny : now , all of a sudden , it is ? kate : i gave birth to a baby boy . and every time i looked at him , i saw joe . and so i left him . i thought he died . but he did n't die . connie : things changed . sonny : such as ? connie : such as kate going on a permanent vacation when she found out her unwanted brat was still alive . jason : it 's very complicated , and you need to hear it in the order that it happened , so -- [ door opens ] kristina : it 's okay . i 'm fine . trey : no , no , no , you are in shock , okay ?

[ breathing heavily ] okay . it was sonny . he sent his men to kill me . what , you do n't believe me ? tracy : sure . on his wedding day , sonny thinks , `` what would make this day extra special for me and kate ? rubbing somebody out . `` no , i do n't believe you . joe jr. : what better gift than killing the guy that kate says raped her ? or maybe choose today because it 's a perfect alibi to do it on the day of the wedding . i do n't know what happens in that sick bastard 's mind ! tracy : why are n't you dead ? would n't a professional feel obligated to finish the job ? joe jr. : i did n't stick around to ask him . i was too busy running for my life . not that it 'll last much longer . unless you help me . tracy : i 'll get monica . joe jr. : not your sister ! what makes you think that she can keep her big mouth shut about this ? ! tracy : oh , she wo n't . she 'll take an ad out on a blimp , but you have a gunshot wound , and someone 's got to take the bullet out ! joe jr. : and that someone is gon na have to be you . jason : joe scully jr. is your dad ? kristina : he was n't involved . jason , trey did n't know what was going on . he saved me . sam : saved you from what ? what did trey 's father try to do to you ? jason : okay , if you can , just start at the beginning . tell me where and when this happened ? kristina : i was in the hall outside of trey 's apartment , and we had a fight , but that 's not -- i mean , that 's why i walked out , but that 's not why it happened . but trey did n't know what was going on , and he did n't know what his father -- sam : hey , it 's okay . it 's okay . just breathe . we got to call the police . i 'm gon na call sonny . sam : it 's gon na be okay . sonny : kate knew about trey ? connie : oh , yeah . you should have been there when she put two and two together . they were going at it . something about him marrying your daughter . i do n't know . i was n't really paying attention . and then i saw it . sonny : saw what ? connie : that medal , hanging around that bastard 's neck , the same one that joe had when he raped me . sonny : that 's when you came out ? connie : no , that 's when i started paying attention . see , 'cause a couple minutes later , kate realized her son survived dying in that dresser ... sonny : uh - huh . connie : ... and she wanted to have one of these little family - time talk - show reunions with him . sonny : and that 's when kate reach out to trey ? connie : yeah . she told him everything -- how she gave him up and everything in her life because of what joe jr. did to us . sonny : what 'd he say ? connie : oh , he told her that she was making up the rape , that she was sick and he wanted nothing to do with her . cue freak - out . that 's when i step in . sonny : yeah , well , trey told me that he got in a fight with kate . connie : oh , yeah , i let the little twerp have it . told him i wished he 'd never survived making it out of the boarding house . felt really good to unload on him . sonny : and that 's when you came out , when kate found out about trey ? connie : oh , yeah . ever since then and forevermore . todd : starr , i can tell that you 're upset ... but when you 're talking about who killed cole and hope , you are talking about kate howard , right ? starr : no , i 'm not talking about kate . i 'm talking about connie . she 's back . todd : uh , she 's back ? starr : she came out right in the middle of the wedding . todd : wow . sorry i did n't crash that one . starr : no , it was n't entertaining , trust me . it was ... todd : it was what ? hey , you okay ? starr : no , i 'm not okay . okay , cole and hope are dead , and i never got a chance to confront the person that took them away from me until today . connie is back . she 's never really been away . she 's been hiding this entire time , and she felt that she was just going to be able to get away with what she did . but i 'm going to change all of that . i 'm calling the police , and i 'm turning her in . todd : uh , wait . no , ho - hold on a second ! look , nobody loves revenge and retribution more than i do -- starr : i do n't want revenge . i want justice . todd : hold on a second . let 's think about this , okay ? i mean , you ca n't , um ... connie was already charged , right ? and she walked . she ca n't be charged again . that would be double jeopardy . starr : connie was n't even tried , much less acquitted . todd : yeah , but , still , right ? you 're on record making a very passionate plea in her defense . i mean , how 's it gon na look if you keep changing your mind ? and , you know , we do n't need the cops , we do n't need the courts to get connie thrown in the looney bin . you know that . there are other options . starr : only connie 's husband can commit her . todd : well , great . i 'm sure sonny does n't want connie -- starr : sonny is n't connie 's husband . johnny is . carly : is it the tight pants ? the fire - engine - red cheap - drugstore lipstick ? or what about the way her voice sounds like a mixture between a car alarm and a crack whore ? look at me , johnny ! johnny : connie 's got nothing on you , all right ? carly : then why are you pretending to care -- johnny : i 'm not pretending ! carly : is this the secret that you swore you were n't keeping ? every time i called you out , you had a ready - made excuse . and i knew something was going on because my instincts were screaming -- johnny : you 're right . i should have been up front with you about -- carly : this is what you were trying to tell me , right ? when you were trying to confess that night you were shot ? johnny : no . i swea -- carly : i should 've known something was going on when you and todd teamed up to go get the money back from jerry . todd knows . that 's why you guys are fighting all the time , right ? because he knows something was going on between you and connie ? that 's between me and todd . carly : well ... it 's a good thing you have todd , 'cause we have nothing left . johnny : yes , we do . carly : you married another woman , johnny ! you got one last chance -- here . if i mean anything to you , please ... tell me why you married connie . johnny : because ...

[ gasps ] why do n't we find out where my johnny is ? maybe he 'll make it better . we could warm up that wedding bed , huh ? sonny : you 're not going anywhere . carly : you love connie . johnny : yeah . i guess i fell for her . carly : just could n't resist , huh ? johnny : what was i supposed to do , carly ? huh ? i tried to change my life around . i tried to become a better guy , and i could n't . and connie was there . all right ? she wanted me for me . she did n't ask me to change my life to prove myself . what was i supposed to say , no ? carly : yeah . that 's exactly what you were supposed to say . johnny : well , maybe i thought that i wanted to have it both ways . maybe i wanted to be with you and connie and stick it to sonny all at the same time . carly : what about kate ? where does she fit in here ? remember her ? the woman who is mentally ill and you were so ashamed that you took advantage of her , and now i 'm supposed to believe that you 've had this big romance ? johnny : it 's the truth . carly : okay . since you and connie have such this big connection , why did you ask me to run away with you last night ? johnny : because she was pushing marriage . she says she got sick of sharing me with you and she wanted me to choose . carly : and you chose her . johnny : yeah , i told her i 'd marry her , and then i got cold feet . carly : what if i had said yes to your escape plan ? johnny : then ... you and me and josslyn would be on this boat ... in the ocean , sailing to some island somewhere . carly : right . and i would have never known that you were sleeping with connie . but i said no , and you were like , `` what the hell ? i 'm gon na go marry the lunatic . `` one question -- why did n't you dump me ? starr : connie and johnny have been sneaking around for months . carly was completely blindsided . todd : carly was there ? starr : yeah , she was sitting next to johnny when it all came out . and johnny ... todd : johnny what ? starr : i thought that johnny was my friend . ever since cole and hope died , he has been nothing but supportive and -- and thoughtful with me , and then i find out this ? that he -- that he knew the whole time the person that took my family was me was out there , and he was sleeping with her ? he married her ! i trusted him , dad . i -- he lied to me , and it 's so ... you know , it 's so different with you . todd : what -- what 's different with me ? starr : well , when you lie to me , it 's ... i do n't know . you 've always been there . you bought me fred the magic frog . you took me to reptile roundup , and ... you named me . it 's a lot more tough to write you off . todd : well , i hope i never give you a reason to write me off . starr : dad , he was the one that reached out to me . he was compassionate to me . i put my faith in him , and he lied to me . todd : well ... i hate to say i told you so . starr : no , you do n't hate to say it . you know , if johnny could be keeping a secret like connie from me and everyone else , who knows what else he could be hiding . tea : john ? mcbain : what ? tea : did my nanny pass through here with victor ? mcbain : your nanny ? no . why ? what 's wrong ? tea : he 's gone . my son is missing . mcbain : just think about this . would she ever just take victor somewhere ? tea : she would always tell me that sort of thing before she did it . all right , the phone is ringing . mcbain : good . tea : she never turns her phone off . mcbain : okay , we 're gon na track her down . you said her name was susan . tea : yeah , susan moore . mcbain : did you say susan moore ? tea : yeah . she 's the good samaritan that todd ran into in the woods . she helped save victor 's life the night he was born . mcbain : this woman who helped you in port charles , she just showed up here in llanview ? tea : yeah , she was looking for a job . i thought it was strange , too , at first , but she had excellent references , and they all checked out . mcbain : tea , is this what she looks like ? tea : yeah . why ? mcbain : susan moore died in 1983 . this woman 's name is heather webber . she 's no nanny . todd : you know , starr , people have secrets usually have more than one . johnny 's got a whole boatload of them . whatever he was doing with connie was just one of them . starr : i feel so stupid . todd : i do n't like hearing that . this does mean that you 're cutting ties with him . starr : i wish . he owns the right to my recording contract . and i headline at his club . todd : i 'll buy your recording contract , and we 'll call your mom . you can sing at her club . starr : in llanview ? capricorn 's in llanview . todd : it 's perfect . you can have a completely unsuccessful , long - distance relationship with that creep michael , and as an added bonus , llanview -- fewer lunatics . starr : are you kidding me ? i ca n't leave port charles , not when connie is just out there . would you ever let someone that hurt your family just walk ? todd : no . exactly . revenge , retribution -- my thing , not yours . starr : i can handle connie . todd : oh , like you handled sonny ? starr : [ scoffs ] todd : you went to a very dark place , starr . let somebody who 's really good at it handle your dirty laundry . starr : you promise me ? todd : yes . i promise you . i promise you that cole and hope 's killer will suffer . [ door opens , closes ] todd : although it 's entirely possible johnny 's already begun to suffer . carly : so you wanted connie again ? you love her and you married her , and you sit at the wedding , holding my hand , knowing what she 's gon na do all along ? johnny : i was hoping that she was n't gon na go through with it . carly : so what ? then you could just continue to sleep with both of us ? sonny 's wife , sonny 's ex , and then if kate came back , well , hell , she 'd never know . johnny : carly , if there was any way that i could have spared you , i would have . carly : you should have ended things with me if you wanted to be with connie , assuming that 's what 's happened . johnny : it 's the god 's honest truth . carly : if it 's the truth , you 're scum . if it 's not ... you 're still scum . i 've given you every opportunity to come clean , and for some reason , you 're still lying to me , and i do n't know why . but what i do know is that we are truly over . connie : let go of me now ! sonny : you 're coming with me ! connie : no , i 'm not ! you can not force me ! sonny : the only one you 're forcing yourself on is kate ! connie : no , you got that backwards ! kate forced me to lie next to you , to hear you declare your love for her and make all these promises to protect her , which usually came right before you put her life at risk ! you are a bully , and you are a pig ! and -- and she did not have the guts to kick you out ! so i did ! sonny : you can hate me ... all you want ... but i 'm not letting you go out there with johnny zacchara ! he 's a rat ! connie : do n't -- we 'll see what that rat has to say about that . wo n't we ? johnny : wait , carly , i -- connie : johnny ! i need you ! carly : there 's the little lady now . connie : johnny ! carly : good luck with that . johnny : no , please , do n't leave things like this . please ! connie : johnny , i 'm not kidding ! carly : you made your bed . now you got to lie in it with your crazy wife .

[ door closes ] tea : oh , my god , victor . oh , my god . mcbain : thank you , fish . put a rush on it , got it ? i know , i know . listen , listen ... tea : oh , my god . mcbain : i just talked to the lpd . they 're putting an apb out on heather webber , and they 're gon na send a backup unit over here right now . tea : but listen , john , this is n't happening , okay ? she was a little high- strung , but -- but for the most part , she was a wonderful , devoted nanny . why would she steal someone 's identity and come here ? mcbain : she 's a crazy person , tea , all right ? susan moore was her cousin . she must have assumed her identity when she escaped from ferncliff . tea : why is she doing this ? what does heather webber want with my son ? huh ? [ knock on door ] todd : i heard about what happened at sonny 's wedding . i 'm really sorry . [ breathes deeply ] how can i help ? [ crashing ] todd : [ clears throat ] connie : johnny ! sonny : come here . connie : get off of me ! sonny : stop it ! stop it ! connie : no ! sonny : listen to me ! you can scream all you want ! it 's not gon na matter when you 're locked up . johnny wo n't be able to find you , the cops wo n't . connie : oh , you a big man ? ! you gon na kidnap me now , sonny ? ! sonny : you 're the one who killed a 3-year - old little girl . connie : oh , touché . sonny : okay , listen , this is not -- this is not what i wanted ... for you , okay ? johnny : hey . connie : johnny -- johnny , he 's trying to take me out of here . johnny : i can see that . connie : do something ! sonny : johnny . connie : please do something . you want the alternative , johnny ? todd : what 'd you do that for ? carly : because you 're a son of a bitch . todd : i 'm pretty sure it 's already been established that i 'm a completely son of a bitch , but i thought we were friends . carly : what kind of friend let 's me stay with a guy who is cheating on me ? ! todd : carly , i tried . carly : no , you did n't ! no , you did n't ! you did n't try . there were tons of stupid insults and stupid comments , but you were never gon na tell me the truth , were you ? you were n't gon na say a word ? todd : okay , carly , you need to calm down . carly : i almost trusted you , todd ! i almost trusted you ! how could you not tell me about connie and johnny ? ! connie : will you do something ? ! johnny ! johnny . sonny : stop . johnny : sonny , get your hands off my wife or i 'm calling the cops and having you booked on kidnapping , assault , and false imprisonment . now ! connie : come on , let 's go . sonny : johnny , johnny ... do n't -- do n't do this . if you have any decency , if you 're a man , you will move out of the way ... while i try to help a woman who 's obviously sick . connie : shall we , husband ? johnny : sorry , sonny . i ca n't help you . tracy : i know i just pulled a bullet out of your shoulder , but could you help me a little ? joe jr. : look , i 'm doing the best i -- [ knock on door ] dante : port charles police . open up . joe jr. : [ breathing heavily ] jason : still ca n't get through to sonny . sam : maybe it 's for the best . jason : he 's kristina 's dad . he needs to know what happened . sam : why , jason ? so he can order you to hunt down scully and take him out ? jason : not if dante finds him first . sam : look , i know it was a big deal for you to cooperate with dante , but i think it 's best if you just leave him . just please , jason .

duke : well , how is robert ? is he really awake ? anna : i do n't know . i have n't seen him . mac 's in there with him now . um , holly had to leave . i guess there 's some trouble with her son ethan -- a scam gone wrong . anyway , she 's not here . it 's just mac and i , waiting for robert . duke : well , call me when you have an update on his condition , will you ? anna : i will . i love you , duke . duke : i love you more . anna : that 's not possible . i 'm gon na hope and i 'm gon na believe in you alexis : hi . thank you for taking the time to meet me . duke : of course . i 'll do anything i can to help . alexis : you said you have something for me ? duke : i do . alexis : so , now we 'll find out if julian jerome is really sam 's father . derek : [ sighs ] carlos : something wrong , boss ? derek : [ sighs ] well , you were right . i am playing a dangerous game . sabrina : hey . patrick : hey . sabrina : i was just in a patient 's room , and they had the tv on . the kidnapping -- it 's all over the news . patrick : britt 's son . sabrina : they 've got an amber alert with updates running out of the regular programming , and the baby 's picture -- it 's everywhere . patrick : that 's a good thing . sabrina : i feel so bad for britt . patrick : well , britt 's mom is a psychopath . i mean , there 's no telling where obrecht took that little boy . robin : patrick and i used to talk about having another child someday . and now he has you ... with someone else . [ door opens ] dr. obrecht : good . you 're doing as you 're told and minding mein schweinchen . how 's mein kleiner enkel ? [ groaning ] ooh . yeah . yeah . robin : well , he probably would be better off if you just left him alone . dr. obrecht : oh , so hostile . i hope your negative attitude does n't affect the baby . robin : speaking of things that affect the baby -- you still have n't told me what you 're doing with patrick 's son . sabrina : even britt 's mother would n't hurt her own grandson . patrick : i would n't be so sure about that . i mean , she drugged duke . robin 's dad is still in a coma because of her . she 's capable of god knows what . nurse : so , what 's the occasion , dr. drake ? are all the nurses getting flowers ? patrick : what are you talking about ? nurse : that bouquet just arrived for nurse santiago . [ chuckles ] patrick : like déja vu . all over again . robin : did you kidnap patrick 's son ? dr. obrecht : did i give you permission to interrogate me ? and such stupid questions ? you should be thanking me for t killing you . the only reason you 're still on this earth is to save jerry jacks ' life . anna donely called again . jerry : of course , she did . her father 's dying on polonium poisoning . she wants more of that elixir i gave her . why would i share it with her after what she did to me , bringing that decrepit cur my way ? well , i 'll take that . [ sighs ] he 's not dead yet , is he ? there we go . robin : what , do you expect me to be grateful ? the only reason that i 'm alive is because my father caught you when you were trying to kill me , and you gave him the drug that was meant for me . anna : tell me robert 's all right . mac : come see for yourself . [ monitors beeping ] robert : hi , sweetheart . that really wants to know who sam 's father is , and there 's another part of me that dreads finding out , because i do n't want to know that i procreated with yet another mobster . duke : oh , that would be quite a coincidence , would n't it ? alexis : yes , it would . look , julian jerome went to a college that was in the same town as the bar that i met sam 's father . i also understand that he was there around the same time that i met sam 's father , and , really , how many julians are there ? duke : well , it 's also a rare - enough name not to merit further investigation . alexis : so you do n't think i 'm overreacting ? duke : i brought something for you . alexis : [ sighs ] duke : it 's a photograph of julian jerome when i knew him . do you remember him ? is that sam 's father ? derek : thanks to lavery , alexis is beginning to figure out that the boy who got her pregnant when she was a teenager was julian jerome . carlos : yeah , but she does n't think you 're julian jerome . she thinks he 's dead and you 're derek wells . that 's what everybody thinks . derek : yeah , but alexis davis strikes me as an extremely intelligent woman , and she 's got a hell of a reputation as an attorney , so if she and lavery keep digging , they may just discover that rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated . and that 's gon na change everything ... for both of us . patrick : from carlos ? again ? sabrina : i 'm sorry . patrick : yeah , no . i mean , guy does n't quit , does he ? sabrina : yeah . that 's pretty much the message . patrick : so , are you gon na read it , or do i have the honors ? sabrina : `` mi querida ... you know me . i do n't quit until i get what i want . you are the only woman in my heart . can you say the same thing about patrick ? `` patrick : okay , come on . this has got to end now . sabrina : you know what ? i 'll -- i 'll deal with carlos . okay ? sam : was it something i said ? dr. obrecht : must you be so tedious ? your father 's timing was unfortunate . i had no choice but to put him in that coma . robin : if he had n't been distracted , he would have stuck that needle right in your heart , where it belongs . dr. obrecht : clearly , you overestimate the threat he poses in hand - to - hand combat . [ ben fusses ] robin : no . he would have stopped you if he had n't been so shocked to see me . dr. obrecht : there 's no point in speculating . it all worked out well . robin : [ scoffs ] on what planet ? dr. obrecht : you 're still breathing , are n't you ? jerry jacks would n't allow me to remove you . jerry : rain , rain , go away . come again another day . luke : [ sighs ] jerry : you 're dismissed . [ sighs ] hello , sunshine . enjoy your nap ? luke : oh , this cassadine hellhole . i 've woken up here before . jerry : yes , what it lacks in amenities it makes up in atmosphere . luke : does it ? [ groans ] jerry : yes . no en suite whirlpool , no wi - fi , no premium cable , but we have room service . luke : poisoned , no doubt . jerry : well , you 're already poisoned . remember ? luke : [ groans ] i did n't expect to wake up . [ breathing shallowly ] what 's going on , jacks ? why have n't you killed me yet ? robin : remove me ? i did n't think you were the type to hide behind euphemisms . dr. obrecht : i think you understand me , little bird . my only regret is that i could n't return to remove your father . alas , it was too dangerous . robin : i hope you know that , someday , my father will wake up from that coma and that he 'll tell my mother that i 'm alive . anna : robert . robert : [ strained ] ohh . anna : ohh . robert : come on . no -- no sloppy stuff . you know i hate that . anna : i was praying that you would wake up , but i just did n't know whether -- i was kind of too afraid to hope . robert : you know i 'm never gon na stay away for too long . but [ sighs ] i get a feeling that it 's been awhile . anna : i 've missed you . mac : life has n't been the same without you , brother . anna : emma 's been praying every night . she 's been praying to the angels that you 'd get better . robert : well , you tell that granddaughter that it seems to have worked . anna : i will . robert : so , tell me , how long have i been under ? anna : uh , it 's been awhile . almost 12 months . mac : anna 's been trying like hell to put obrecht behind bars for doing this to you . robert : obrecht ? [ chuckles ] who 's he , and what 's he done to me ? mac : `` he `` ? anna : obrecht 's a woman . you do n't remember her , do you ? and she is the one who injected you with a lethal dose of propofol . it nearly killed you . robert : where was this ? anna : it was here . right here at the clinic . she was on staff . mac : she 's also cesar faison 's obliging deputy . robert : faison ? ! anna : shh , shh , shh . yeah , we had come here in order to rescue duke . robert : this i absolutely remember -- lavery 's dead . we got to that swiss hotel , where -- where -- where faison was holed up with you , about to do something , and he was masquerading as duke , hmm ? anna : yeah . you remember that ? robert : yeah . anna : but you do n't remember coming here to the clinic and finding duke alive ? robert : lavery 's alive ? [ sighs ] well , i guess i can adjust to that . but , look , i promise you -- i have no recollection of anything taking place in this clinic . dr. obrecht : even if your father comes out of that coma , it 's highly unlikely he 'll remember seeing you at the clinic . your only hope for freedom is to finish formulating jerry 's cure . robin : i 'm not doing anything until you tell me what you 're doing with that baby . dr. obrecht : he 's my grandson . he 's important to me , even if his father is n't . robin : i still do n't believe you . i do n't think patrick has another child . britt : yeah , i stopped listening to your orders and starting thinking for myself . i told patrick that ben is n't his son . dr. obrecht : believe it . this is his son . robin : no . patrick would never let you take him . dr. obrecht : [ chuckles ] i certainly did n't ask his permission . robin : of course not . you kidnapped him . [ sighs ] patrick must be losing his mind . patrick : congratulations . i hear danny 's going home . sam : i know . i know . it 's been so long . i ca n't even remember the last time i think that i would feel like i had anything like a normal life . patrick : well , it 's like riding a bike . that 's what they say , anyways . you never really lose it . sam : i wanted to thank you . listen , the night that i brought danny into the e.r . , i was -- i was a mess , and i was so panicked , and i think any other doctor would have probably kicked me out , but you just -- you were patient , and you made me feel calm , and you made me feel strong enough to get through it for danny . patrick : you 're giving me way too much credit , okay ? you love your son . you 're always gon na be strong for him . sam : come on , stop it . do n't be modest . patrick : i am never modest . you never have to worry about that with me . sam : patrick , is there anything , at all , that i could -- i could give you ? i - i -- like , i want to give you something significant to thank you . patrick : your son going home is the best gift that i -- sam : no , no , no . please , listen to me . are you sure there 's -- there 's nothing that i can give you ? there 's got to be something i can do for you . patrick : you could get rid of carlos rivera . carlos : i 'll handle whatever happens . derek : well , do n't you sound confident ? carlos : i knew there was a risk that , when you hired lavery , you 'd be exposed . derek : but that 's why i hired him . you see , i ca n't wait to see the look on duke 's face when he finds out who i really am . carlos : [ chuckles ] derek : but it ca n't happen yet . you see , when the truth comes out , it 's got to be on my terms , not on lavery 's or alexis ' . so , this -- this has to stay between us ... carlos : yeah . derek : ... until i 'm ready for julian jerome to come back from the dead . [ footsteps approaching ] duke : is that sam 's father ? alexis : i do n't know . i ... i ... [ sighs ] he does n't look like the guy that i remembered , but i did n't remember much because i was tanked in the back seat of a car . duke : well , is it even possible that it could be him ? alexis : anything 's possible . i want to find out one way or the other , because if julian jerome is n't the guy that got me pregnant , then there 's some julian running around there somewhere , and someday , sam and i might want to find him . i just wish that i could find out if julian jerome is sam 's father or is n't sam 's father . duke : well , actually , there is a way . jerry : why waste a bullet on you when the polonium 's doing the job ? luke : the last thing i remember is you telling a guard to take me somewhere to die . jerry : yes , i 'm hoping to accrue some karmic points by making you comfortable while your organs shut down . luke : good luck with that -- your version of mercy . [ coughs ] jerry : i know . maybe the polonium 's making me softer . luke : [ labored ] or maybe the only reason i 'm alive is you need something ... from me . [ coughs ] dr. obrecht : i would n't worry about patrick . he has nurse sabrina to comfort him . robin : the woman that i saw with patrick and emma at the nurses ' ball , right ? the one jerry said was my replacement ? dr. obrecht : hmm . patrick has indeed replaced you with that petite pink dust mop . i have to admire her shrewdness , the single - minded focus . she 's not a doctor . she 's not patrick 's equal . [ scoffs ] she 's certainly no beauty . but somehow she was the one who managed to worm her way into patrick 's heart . my poor britta , pretty as she is -- did i mention she 's a brilliant doctor ? still , she was no match for that mousy , little nurse . britta 's too weak , too principled . robin : [ sighs ] so , what did sabrina do ? robert : why ca n't i remember this ? anna : because you almost died . you 've been in a coma for months . mac : it 's a miracle you came back to us , at all . robert : miracles aside , there 's something -- there 's something else , something -- it 's -- it 's -- it -- anna : all right . robert : it 's important . anna : all right . if it 's how you got here , we can explain all of that . robert : no , no , no , no . no , no . it 's something else -- something vital , anna . anna : oh , that 's right . before you lost consciousness , you were trying desperately to remember something . robert : help me . help me . please , help me remember this . please ? your physical decline . luke : so , you 've got some ... master plan for me ? jerry : [ chuckling ] well , i would n't exaggerate your importance . i have a use for you . let 's not elevate it to master plan . luke : are we gon na argue semantics , or are you gon na tell me what it is you want ? jerry : well , if you must know , the cure for what ails us is proceeding , and when the good doctor presents it to me , i 'm gon na give it to you . dr. obrecht : believe your eyes . you saw the footage of the nurses ' ball . there can be no doubts that patrick and emma have bonded with the glorified stalker . robin : stalker ? dr. obrecht : constantly underfoot , pressing herself on patrick and emma at every opportunity . eventually , sabrina 's hard work paid off . she got her man . a bitter pill for you , i know . i sympathize . robin : i doubt you 've ever felt sympathy or compassion in your entire life . dr. obrecht : you 're wrong . sabrina is your rival . i have one , too . i advise you to do what 's most expedient when it comes to the competition . i attempted to remove mine but nearly killed her boyfriend instead . alexis : how can i prove that julian jerome is or is n't sam 's father ? duke : well , you could run a dna test . alexis : on a dead man ? what do we do , dig him up ? duke : oh , no , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to imply you compare sam 's dna with julian . alexis : so , who are we gon na test ? duke : his son . carlos : querida . derek : uh , can i help you ? carlos : uh , derek , this is sabrina santiago , the woman i was telling you about , the light of my life . sabrina : [ sighs ] carlos : sabrina , my boss , derek wells . sabrina : nice to meet you , mr. wells . derek : the pleasure 's all mine . carlos : did you get my flowers ? sabrina : yes , i did . carlos : and my notes ? sabrina : both of them . carlos : and ? sabrina : and ... i want you to back the hell off . sam : who 's carlos rivera ? patrick : sabrina 's ex - boyfriend . showed up a couple days ago from puerto rico . sam : did he show up just to say hi , or ... ? patrick : no . i mean , it 's over between them . they broke up years ago . [ sighs ] but he does n't seem to get the message . he keeps sending flowers and love notes . sam : oh . patrick : twice . just today . sam : are you sure that it 's over , or is he -- he 's getting to sabrina ? patrick : no . but he is getting to me . keeps trying to convince sabrina that i 'm still hung up on robin . robin : look , i 'm not surprised that patrick found someone else . dr. obrecht : i see . you had no illusions about his fidelity . robin : no . i left patrick a message . i told him that i wanted him to ... find love again after i died . i did n't want him to be alone , i wanted emma to have a mother figure in her life , and i knew that patrick 's first instinct would be to cut himself off in grief and not allow himself to fall for anyone ever again . dr. obrecht : my daughter experienced that . patrick shut her down cold . [ singsong voice ] but not sabrina . robin : [ sighs ] fine ! if you 're so eager to tell me , obviously , then what did sabrina do ? how did she get to patrick ? dr. obrecht : by using you . anna : after faison was taken off by interpol , then , uh , you and i -- we started to talk about the fact that maybe duke was alive , and he was being held prisoner here at the clinic . so we raced over , and then obrecht tried to stop us , but we made quick work of her , and then we got ourselves into the room ... dr. obrecht : no ! do n't ! anna : ... we found duke ... alive . duke ? duke : anna . anna : and then you went off to pursue obrecht on your own . robert : i remember , anna . i do remember . enough for one . jerry : so there is . luke : so , what 's the catch ? jerry : oh , there 's no catch . i am gon na give you a sample of the cure . luke : you do n't want to save me . jerry : true . i want to save myself , above and all , so you 're going to be my lab rat . luke : i 'm your guinea pig . jerry : well , if you prefer . i 'm gon na give you a sample of the cure first to see if it works . do n't get your hopes up . it 's not gon na heal you . i just want to make sure the formula 's not gon na kill you or me . luke : you went on and on about how brilliant your doctor is . the medical community frowns on doctors killing their patients , so how could this brilliant doctor of yours have made such a mistake ? jerry : oh , it wo n't be a mistake . it will be intentional . luke : why would your doctor want to kill you ? robin : how would a nurse who 's never met me use me to get to patrick ? dr. obrecht : britta told me that sabrina made a big show of recognizing that patrick was grieving for you . she was cloyingly sympathetic , offering him a shoulder to cry on . she surmised that emma must be missing her mother , and so sabrina babysat incessantly , lulling emma into looking at her as a new mommy , which sabrina paraded in front o of patrick . and so , of course , emma objected whenever patrick tried to romance britta . robin : emma 's a smart girl . i trust her judgment . dr. obrecht : so did our little nurse . she pumped your daughter for information about you . that 's how she came up with the jejune idea to rekindle the nurses ' ball . sabrina made patrick feel that she was honoring you and all the good you 'd accomplished . but she does n't care about you . you were just a stepping stone to patrick . sabrina : do n't you get it , carlos ? stay away from me . carlos : hmm . you want me to leave you alone ? sabrina : yes . carlos : but you came all the way down here , querida , to see me . sabrina : no , no , no , no , no . i am not your querida . i came down here for one reason -- to tell you to back off . not to see you . carlos : as much as i love -- sabrina : do n't . carlos : as much as i love it when you 're angry , can we -- mr. wells has some work to do . let 's take this outside . come on . derek : you know what ? it 's fine . it 's fine . uh , i was just leaving . so , it was very nice to meet you . sabrina : i 'm sorry about this , mr. wells . derek : it 's fine . it 's fine . but , uh , i would n't be so angry with , uh , carlos . you wo n't meet a man more devoted or loyal to you . carlos : it 's true . i know you think you 've made this whole life here for yourself and that you do n't need me , but you 're wrong . i love you ... more than patrick ever could . his heart is with his wife . patrick : carlos made a crack about me still wearing my wedding ring , implying that i am misrepresenting myself to sabrina , which i 'm not . but it got me thinking if i had the nerve to tell you to get over jason -- yet here i am , still wearing my ring . sam : well , the night we talked , i did notice that you were wearing your ring , and i was gon na call you out on it , but ... [ sighs ] patrick : but what ? why did n't you ? sam : because you were giving me such good advice , and you were telling me , you know , how i needed to move on and get over jason , even though i do n't think you are as far along as you think you are in getting over robin . can i -- can i ask you a question ? patrick : yeah . sam : why did you decide to take your ring off ? patrick : well , it was n't about carlos , but , uh ... it was n't fair to sabrina . sam : well , maybe it was n't fair to robin , either . patrick : what does that mean ? sam : well , i mean , you told me that jason would want me to be happy , and -- and i was thinking about it , and you 're right . he would -- he would -- he would want me to be happy and move on with my life and take risks and hopefully find someone to do those things with . jason would n't want me sitting in the dark somewhere , missing him , and i ... i do n't think robin would want that for you , either . patrick : no , she would n't want that . sam : so , if wearing your ring was holding you back , keeping you tied to this -- these memories and this loss , that is not why she gave it to you . patrick : you 're good , sam . sam : yeah . you told me that i needed to let -- let go of jason and be happy . and do n't you want that for yourself , too ? i mean , is n't -- is n't that why you took your ring off ? patrick : yeah . yeah , it is , and , of course , that 's what i want , and i just -- it 's -- it 's hard . it 's hard to move on . sam : yeah . [ chuckles ] i know . i know . dr. obrecht : sabrina played it right -- kept her distance , pretended to be asexual , which was n't difficult for her . finally , after months and months of planning , on that night of the ball , patrick was like a veal calf who 'd been fed on sweet milk , softened , unaware that sabrina was going to lead him out of his safe , little cage of grief to his destiny . that is how sabrina stole your husband and child . that is why you have nothing to go home to . robin : you bitch ! if i have lost patrick forever , it 's your fault . none of this would have happened if it was n't for you . robert : i remember finding lavery alive . i - i remember looking around , realizing that obrecht had left the room , and so i went after her . and i go in the direction of the raised voices . mac : robert , you 're doing great , all right ? do n't push it . just let it all come back to you . anna : okay , that must have been obrecht . okay , maybe she was in the room where we found you , but you were alone , and you had a syringe sticking out of your chest , but you did keep saying to us , `` we have to find her . `` mac : who ? obrecht ? robert : no . anna : who ? is that who you were talking about ? robert : no , i do n't think so . anna : well , then who ? who were we supposed to find ? stole my life . you 're the one that took me from every single person that i love . and you talk about sabrina like she 's the bad guy ? i mean , you 're the one that left patrick alone and heartbroken for people like your daughter and like sabrina . why would n't they go after him ? he 's supposed to be a widower . i 'm supposed to be dead . dr. obrecht : [ clicks tongue ] such maudlin hysterics -- making excuses for the husband who 's already forgotten you . robin : no , i 'm not . i told patrick to go after love . why would n't he respond to someone like sabrina ? in patrick 's mind , i 'm dead . what was he supposed to do ? sabrina : stop talking about patrick and his wife . you do n't know him or her . carlos : all i know is that man 's still wearing his wedding ring . sabrina : no , actually , as a matter of fact , he took it off . carlos : [ laughs ] really , now ? sabrina : yeah , really . carlos : did he ? sabrina : mm - hmm . carlos : do n't you think that timing is a little suspect ? i happen to mention something , and then he takes it off . sabrina : [ scoffs ] come on . it had nothing to do with you . carlos : it had everything to do with me . he 's afraid he 's gon na lose you now that i 'm here . he -- he 's threatened by what 's between us . sabrina : there 's nothing between us . carlos : come on . i just wish he would have taken it off without prompting from me . that 's all i 'm saying . sabrina : so what ? so what if it happened this way ? patrick realized that it was time to put robin behind him , and he 's ready to step into a future with me . carlos : hmm . well , what about his devotion to his dead wife ? sabrina : what about it ? i do n't expect him to stop loving her . i would n't ask him to . but that does n't matter , because i know patrick loves me . we are good together . patrick knows that , and he wants to share his future with me . carlos : mm - hmm . who are you trying to convince ? me ? or yourself ? patrick : thank you . sam : mm . patrick : i like talking to you . sam : you know , i feel the same . patrick : yeah ? sam : yeah . [ gasps ] hey , i actually , um -- i took your advice , and i went out on that date with silas . patrick : to his daughter 's wedding reception ? sam : yes . it was a complete disaster . prick : huh . sam : but that 's a different story . silas and i -- we actually , um -- we -- we had a good time . patrick : good . sam : i 'm never gon na stop loving jason . and you -- i know you 're -- you 're never gon na stop loving robin . but i think going out with silas and giving him a chance -- it made me realize that there 's hope for the both of us . do me a favor , patrick . patrick : yeah ? sam : can you -- can you please take your own advice and let yourself be happy ? patrick : do you like roses ? sam : you are not doing that . okay . i get it . this is how you 're getting rid of carlos . patrick : exactly . this is your gift to me and mine to you . congratulations on your little boy going home . sam : [ sniffs ] well , thank you . patrick : back at you . sam : all right . see you later . patrick : bye . [ elevator dings ] derek : hey . sam : hey . hi . i did n't -- i did n't expect to see you here . derek : oh , well , i heard you were taking our boy home today , so i had to come for a visit . sam : thank you . derek : yeah , of course . is , uh -- is your mom with danny ? sam : uh , no . no . i have n't , um -- i have n't -- i have n't seen her yet . derek : really ? huh . oh , where is she ? alexis : julian jerome had a son ? duke : yes , he did . his name is lucas jones . alexis : jones is bobbie spencer 's son . is n't tony jones the father ? duke : well , lucas was adopted . uh , his mother was a woman named cheryl stansbury , and his father was julian jerome . well , it 's not common knowledge . in fact , uh , julian did n't know he had a son when he died . luke : a doctor 's dictum is to `` do no harm , `` so why would yours want to kill you ? jerry : well , she 's just not that into me . luke : really ? a charming , erudite sociopath like you ? shocking . jerry : it 's discouraging , i grant you . i 've been so polite . luke : yeah , you 'd think she 'd appreciate your impeccable manners . jerry : in any case , it 's very advantageous to have another victim of polonium poisoning here as a royal taster of sorts . luke : a taster for the king , huh ? jerry : well , you ca n't be too careful . luke : [ labored ] hail jerry jacks . and what will you do if your doctor ... wants to kill you and not save you ? dr. obrecht : you americans -- so emotional . i was simply warning you not to expect patrick and emma to welcome you with open arms upon your return . then again , if you do n't succeed in curing jerry , you 'll never see your husband and daughter again . you will be removed . robin : i feel sorry for your daughter . no one deserves to have a mother like you . dr. obrecht : the baby is sleeping . i leave you to work before the little one wakes and requires your attention . robin : and where are you going ? dr. obrecht : to see someone i love as much as you love patrick . anna : so , you were fading , and before you lost consciousness , you kept saying to us that we `` have to find her , `` but we did n't know who you were talking about . robert : i 'm sorry . i - i - i -- i 'm in the corridor , and i hear the voices . i can go so far with this , and then i just hit this wall . anna : okay , that 's all right . it 's all right . robert : no , it 's not . anna : yes , it is . robert : no , anna , i 've got to remember . this is imp -- anna : no , you do n't . you need to relax . we 're not going anywhere . mac : anna 's right . listen , i 'm gon na call felicia and tell her the good news . robert : felicia ? mac : yeah . hey , my wife . i married her a second time . [ chuckles ] robert : you did something good in your life for a change . mac : you know , i could have used you at my wedding . robert : ah , to fight off the enthusiastic frisco ? mac : mercifully , he did n't make an appearance . robert : i am shocked . i 'd have bet every penny you had that he 'd have crashed the party . mac : well , he made a play a few months earlier -- tried to tell felicia that he loved her . but you know what she did ? she turned him down , turned to me , and proposed . robert : you accepted , of course ? mac : of course . i 'm not gon na lose her a second time . robert : bro , i am so happy for you . you tell my sister - in - law that , this time , she got the right guy . mac : [ chuckles ] of course , she did . robert : okay , this time -- anna : no , no , no . you need to rest . robert : no , let 's go through it again . right -- right from the top , anna . anna : robert . you have to stop . you really have done too much for one day , okay ? rest . robert : [ sighs ] robert : robin ? robert : oh , my -- oh , my god . be here soon , but now that danny 's better she said that , um , she had to look into something . derek : hmm . well , do you have any idea what that is ? sam : no . but i - i did get the feeling that it was important . alexis : okay , so , if julian jerome is sam 's father , then lucas jones is sam 's half brother , which means sam has a sibling on her father 's side . duke : well , if you can get lucas to consent to a dna test , then you 'll know for certain whether sam 's father is the mobster julian jerome . carlos : you 're just insecure that you ca n't compete with patrick 's dead wife . sabrina : oh , my god , stop ! stop twisting everything i say about him to mean something that it does n't ! you 're relentless ! carlos : when it comes to you , yes . sabrina : no ! we are not having this conversation , okay ? i came here for one reason and one reason only -- to tell you that it 's over . no more trite flowers . no more insinuating notes . no more anything . i do n't love you anymore . carlos : but you 're the love of my life . has patrick ever said that about you ? sabrina : goodbye , carlos . carlos : adios , querida , for now . when patrick breaks your heart , i 'll be waiting for you . robin : i promise to carry out that noble tradition to love you more than i did yesterday and less than i will tomorrow . i promise to love you for the rest of my life . dr. obrecht : take care of patrick 's baby . i 'll be back after i tend to my personal things . robin : oh , my god . dr. obrecht : did you find something ? robin : well , if i 'm right , this could actually save jerry 's life . dr. obrecht : are you sure ? robin : well , come take a look . i mean , tell me what you think . dr. obrecht : i do n't have time . [ scoffs ] you 've kept me far too long . robin : come on , liesl . i need your expertise , okay ? you 're a really good doctor . please ? dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] for heaven 's sake . [ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] this is nothing more than simple -- luke : say the cure kills me . what do you do then ? oh , right . you die anyway . jerry : oh , the doctor wo n't do that to me . she has way too much at stake . robin : now who 's the stupid girl ? [ sighs ] sweet dreams , frau doktor . now it 's time for my dream to come true . i 'm going home to my husband and my daughter . i 'm going home to my family . anna : what is it , robert ? what do you remember ? you look like you 've seen a ghost . robert : oh , you have no idea . anna : what do you mean ? robert : [ panting ] i got out into the corridor . i followed the voices . i burst into her room , and obrecht was there , all right , but she was n't alone . anna : all right . who was she with ? robert : she was with our daughter . she was with robin , anna !

[ scene_break ] jordan : when anna told me that you were the one who murdered kyle sloane , i should have realized that was only gon na be the tip of the iceberg . paul : i did it for my daughter . jordan : oh , no , no , you did it for yourself , because you were so enraged at your own impotence , your inability to protect someone who you loved from being hurt . so you took revenge on a whole bunch of helpless people who could n't help themselves . you are a bully , the lowest of the low .

[ scene_break ] claudette : nathan divorced me , would n't want anything to do with me , and i was pregnant and alone . in those nine months , i just waited for an answer to come to me . griffin : what did you come up with ? claudette : nothing . nothing at all . and then charlotte was born , and i was completely overwhelmed . i could n't leave my apartment , i lost track whether it was day or night , and i just thought that if i was able to get out for a few hours , i would feel better . so a neighbor offered to watch charlotte , and i put on my slinkiest dress -- the silver one , remember ? griffin : yeah , i remember . claudette : well , i was just grateful that it still fit . and then i put on my highest heels , and i hit a nightclub opening up in town . [ scene_break ] maxie : i am sure that charlotte will know how much she 's loved . you 're an amazing man . you 're always been so wonderful with georgie . you 're gon na be a great dad . nathan : you know how appreciative i am of you ? maxie : i can always hear it again . nathan : i mean it , max . you have been so great , just dealing with all of this and every curveball that life has thrown at us . and i want you to know how much i love you . maxie : how much ? nathan : this much . maxie : uh , how about we take this to the bedroom ? nina : ah , good , you 're both home . we need to talk . [ scene_break ] claudette : i felt like my old self again . you know , i knew that i looked good . and i walked right by everyone waiting in line for the club and right up to the front door . and they let me in . and then i tripped over my heels , and i was fully ready for the epic face - plant that i was about to have , and ... and i felt someone lifting me up . and i looked , and there was this handsome man carrying me into the club . griffin : valentin ? claudette : yeah . he did n't leave my side all night . we stayed in the vip lounge , of course , and the champagne was flowing . [ sighs ] and then the next day , there were photos of him carrying me through the club all over the internet . they called him my knight in shining armor . and they were n't wrong . griffin : so what happened ? claudette : he changed . [ scene_break ] maxie : so ... remind me we got to get our spare key . nina : what are we waiting for ? let 's have it . maxie : have -- have what ? nina : your wedding binder . guys , if we 're going to plan this wedding , i mean , we need to get a move on , and honestly , today i 'm on a roll and brimming with ideas . the first one , let me throw this at you -- a helicopter . we could take aerial shots , sort of paparazzi shots , to make it look a celebrity wedding . nathan : no , i do n't think a helicopter is a -- nina : okay , or not . or not . i mean , no decisions without you . so , i ca n't wait to hear what you 've come up with . maxie : actually , we 've not done too much work on the wedding . got some other things on our minds . nina : like what ? [ scene_break ] claudette : it was a really low point in my life . as someone who has made some spectacularly bad decisions , it was really nice to have someone make choices for me . and then i started to realize that maybe valentin was one of my bad choices . he went from attentive to controlling to suffocating . and when i told him that i wanted to leave , he made it very clear who was in charge . griffin : was he physically abusive ? claudette : no . no . he did n't have to be . he could intimidate me with a look or a gesture . and then when i tried to leave , his sweet , charming smile evaporated . and he had this cold stare . i 've never seen anything like it . and he told me that if i ever tried to leave him , he would kill me and my daughter .

[ scene_break ] morgan : how did you know that i got expelled ? carly : that 's what you 're worried about ? sonny : dean wellington called , apologizing because he could n't do enough to prevent you from being expelled . carly : he 's saying that you turned in a plagiarized paper , morgan . how could you do that ? what the hell were you thinking ? morgan : because i - i did n't know what to do , okay ? i had a paper due and i could n't focus on it , and i know you guys went through all the trouble to get me into the school , so i did n't want you thinking that i could n't -- i could n't handle it . sonny : so , what do you do ? you get yourself kicked out of school ? and then you lie to us ? morgan : well , i ca n't tell you that i screwed up , 'cause you 're going to be ashamed of me , both of you . carly : that is -- do n't do that . 'cause we love you , and we are not ashamed of you . we are never ashamed of you , morgan . morgan : yes , you would be . okay , i know you want me to get better . i want to get better . okay , that 's why i 'm taking the medication , going to the sessions , all of that stuff , but it 's not working . sonny : it takes time . morgan : no , it does n't take time ! you told me , dad , that if i did everything that i would be better , and i 'm not better , okay ? and i 'm never going to be better , so we should just accept that i 'm screwed up ! carly : morgan ... morgan : no , i 'm done with all this pity ! carly : morgan ! morgan : i 'm out of here ! carly : sonny . sonny : let 's give him some time . he needs to -- he needs to ... spend some time alone . [ scene_break ] claudette : so now you know why i had to find nathan . our daughter was in danger . griffin : well , why did n't you say something sooner , like , when you first got to town ? claudette : well , i wanted to . i would be ready to tell nathan , and then i would just lose my nerve . valentin said that if i told anyone , charlotte 's life would be in danger . griffin : well , i can see why you took him at his word , but at least you have nathan now , you know , to protect charlotte and you . claudette : yeah . do you want to hear the craziest part ? griffin : hmm ? claudette : [ laughs ] i always knew deep down that nathan was charlotte 's father . but i wish that he was n't . griffin : what do you mean ? claudette : i wish that she was our daughter . yours and mine .

[ scene_break ] michael : none of this makes any sense . he was married to my aunt tracy . he 's my cousin 's father . he came to sabrina 's funeral for god 's sake . he offered his condolences . nelle : well , maybe he felt guilty about what he 'd done . michael : yeah , you think that matters to teddy ? he 's never going to remember his mother . he 's not even going to know her . that little boy 's life was completely flipped upside down -- all because of paul . nelle : yeah . i ca n't even begin to imagine why paul did what he did . but you can take comfort in the fact that he 's been caught . he 's going to pay for what he did . michael : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] ava : you know what i want . i want that flash drive . the flash drive where i confess to killing connie falconeri , and i want it buried -- forever . paul : and you thought if you hired me a lawyer , give it to you ? ava : i 'm offering you your freedom in exchange for mine . paul : what if baldwin could n't get me acquitted ? would you consider that a fair exchange ? ava : [ sighs ] paul , i am sorry that you 're in this situation , but there is no reason to drag me down with you . we 're not so very different , you and i . you -- you did terrible things to protect your daughter , and i -- i may have done some questionable things to protect mine . and that is why you can not turn me in . if i go to prison , who will protect my girls ? [ scene_break ] jordan : you 've spent several months now lobbying for a job here , and we sort of glossed over the whole reason why you lost your job all those years ago , right ? curtis : look , i 'm aware that i screwed up . i do n't need to be reminded every day . jordan : but it 's the details that are important . we were on a major , major stakeout with a major drug cartel . i followed one of the lieutenants into an abandoned building . shots were fired . i called you for back - up . you were n't in the car . why ? why , curtis , because you had taken off to score from one of the corner boys . so then , a case that we had been working now for two years was blown , because you were using . curtis : [ hits desk ] we were on surveillance , okay ? nothing was supposed to go down . now , i screwed up , more than i could have ever imagined . but we were partners . we were a team . we were supposed to work that out between us . instead , you turned me in . jordan : so you think that was easy for me ? curtis : no . i 'd like to think that once you cooled down , you regretted your decision . jordan : actually ... no , i do n't . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , dr. maddox could n't tell me much without breaking doctor / patient confidentiality , but he said that morgan 's been showing up to all his therapy sessions , and he has an appointment scheduled to check his blood for his meds . sonny : something 's off . carly : yeah . sonny : i 'm worried . no , i am . we got to stay on top of this . carly : okay , well , dr. maddox said that morgan has a therapy session in the morning , so we 're just going to have to make sure he 's there . sonny : maybe he just was n't ready for school . i know that he was excited about it , and i did everything i could to make it happen , but you know what ? clearly he 's not ready . okay ? but he ... carly : what if he 's never ready , sonny ? sonny : eventually he will be . carly : what if he 's never ready ? sonny : [ scoffs ] he 's dealing with his bipolar a lot harder than i did . does n't mean he ca n't be fixed . it 's just -- we got to give it some time . carly : but i do n't understand it , though . none of it makes sense . morgan was doing so well . right ? i mean , i thought we were past all this . and now look at -- morgan 's not even out of the woods .

'cause we 're going to be there every step of the way . i know it 's taking a little while , but ... we just got to give him a little more time , that 's all . carly : yeah . i know you 're right . he 's just my baby , and i love him so much . and it just kills me to see him struggle like this , you know ? sonny : i promise you that , uh ... ... morgan 's going to have a hap - happy ... and healthy life just like you dream of for him . carly : i love you . sonny : i love you , too .

[ scene_break ] claudette : i thought that if the baby was yours , it ... might be a sign . that what had happened between us was n't wrong . the love i felt for you was n't a sin , but in fact blessed by god and that i was n't a terrible person . griffin : how many times do i have to tell you , you 're not a terrible person . claudette : maybe someday i 'll believe that . [ scene_break ] curtis : you really do n't regret ever turning me in ? you cost me my career ! for what ? one mistake . could your career not afford one blemish ? jordan : wow . that 's why you think i did it , to protect my reputation ? curtis : your record could have absorbed the hit for the blown operation . your career would have survived , okay ? we were a team . we were supposed to work this out . jordan : curtis , i tried talking to you countless times . i did everything in my power to get you to quit . nothing was working . i did n't -- i did n't -- i did n't worry about my career . i was worried about your damn life and the lives of the cops that were around you . you know , you had some of the best instincts i had ever seen , and you were just throwing it away . curtis : so you just decided to end it all for me ? jordan : no ! no , that is not what i wanted . all they were going to do was put you on suspension while you went to rehab , but you would n't play ball . you gave the brass no choice but to let you go . curtis : so you 're saying you 're turning me in for my own good . [ scene_break ] paul : you 're right . i did what i did to protect susan . to convince her she could come back to me , that the world was safe again . and i was so focused on making things right for her that i lost myself along the way . ava : i - i can not condone your actions , but i do understand your motives . i know that all of those people that you targeted originally , i know they hurt her , they hurt your daughter . paul : i was a bully -- nothing more . and ... i deserve ... to be punished for it . in some ways ... it 's the best thing for me . almost a relief . and i think the same might be true for you . [ scene_break ] michael : you really think that paul 's going to pay for what he did ? nelle : well , he 's in jail . michael : julian jerome was in jail . he ordered duke lavery 's death . he murdered carlos rivera . and he tried to kill his own wife . there was corroborating evidence , including a recording of a confession , yet he was acquitted . and now he 's a free man . nelle : but he was being prosecuted by paul hornsby , who 's another criminal . michael : yes , so you assume that paul undermined his own case so that julian would go free . you 're probably right . but what 's to stop the next da from undermining the case against paul for whatever reason ? this is n't about justice . this is about people pursing their own ends . that 's what paul did . and now it 's my turn . nelle : wait -- what -- what are you going to do ? [ scene_break ] jordan : of course , i did it for your own good . all i wanted for you was to get straight and get back to the job . curtis : then hire me at the pcpd . you know i 've been clean for years . jordan : it 's not that -- there 's too much damage that 's been done , curtis . and i do n't trust you anymore . curtis : okay , i 'm sorry i broke your trust . i 'm different now . i 've been telling you for a long time -- i 'm not the same man . jordan : how do i know that ? curtis : i guess you do n't . you go ahead and play that lottery ticket while your luck still holds up . [ scene_break ] griffin : well , now you 've found nathan and you 'll be safe . claudette : yeah , he 's looking into valentin and making sure that he 's locked up . behind bars . griffin : well , nathan is an honorable man . charlotte 's lucky to have him as a father . claudette : she would have been lucky either way . but you 're right . you 're right . it is time for nathan to meet charlotte .

[ scene_break ] ava : if you want to atone for your sins , fine , you go ahead and do that . your mission has been accomplished . your daughter is safe from those who would hurt her . my daughters are still vulnerable . and you know how much kiki and avery mean to me . paul : i know how convenient they are for you . ava : excuse me , convenient ? paul : you play the mommy card to justify getting away with murder . you think that just because you love your daughters that you should never have to pay for your crimes ? ava : please , paul . if you ever cared about me at all , do n't do this . please . do n't send me to prison . jordan : hornsby . your arraignment 's been scheduled . paul : before i go , there 's something i need to tell you , commissioner . [ next_on ] sonny ( to michael ) : do n't throw it all away on hornsby . paul ( to jordan ) : what i 'm about to say that will impact many people . tracy ( to kiki ) : if anybody 's gon na get him through this it 's not the girl who threw him aside . ned ( to dillon ) : i come in peace . carly ( to dante ) : if you think you can do better , be my guest . andré ( to morgan ) : is there a good reason you 're risking your life ?

after the big shock of finding out that da hornsby is the hospital killer and he 's in jail , many people are dealing with the dust settling . ava finds scott baldwin and urges him to represent paul . he agrees to do so but paul suspect their motives knowing that ava is clearly using that as a bribe for something . she then admits to him that she has incentive to motivate him not to turn over evidence that could get her put in prison , for murder . she assesses to him that his need to `` protect `` his daughter has already been accomplished and having her incarcerated will not help him . she protests she can not be locked up and unable to protect her two daughters from known dangers . yet he does not buy that she wants to protect them and is only playing the mommy card in order to save her own skin . michael admits to nelle and to kiki that since the da has gotten away with murdering sabrina and there 's obviously something very fishy and too coincidental that paul also just happened to fail to convict julian of murder , he can not sit by and let more corruption happen and may need to take the law into his own hands . morgan is also in a really bad state of mind after his parents find out he 's cheated in school and gotten caught and expelled . he makes it clear that he believes he has nothing to lose and no incentive to make his life better with therapy or anything else . curtis can see that nina is not giving up on finding a baby at any cost , although he declares he wants to stay on the right side of the law and wants jordan to give him his old job back . when nathan is certain that he is the father of claudette 's daughter , yet maxie clearly questions the validity of that and is not ready to have his daughter living with that even if it 's proven correct , nina comes to see them . she hears what this means for them and concludes she has the perfect solution for them which would involve having her having charlotte living with her . however , it may not be as simple as that , given that the man who is threatening both claudette and charlotte is valentin cassadine whom nina has met and he knows he has her thank for turning him in for murder .

[ scene_break ] ava : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] griffin : hey . ava : hey . so ? what did you do with klein ? griffin : he is in the room next door , tucked in with the lights off . whatever was in that syringe should keep him out for hours . ava : how did you know where to find me ? believe it or not , i ... i met a man in a church . [ scene_break ] father stanislov : a train is not best for you . patient 6 : the american who came here to pray -- he gave me some money . i can afford a ticket . father stanislov : ticket is no good without papers . patient 6 : [ sighs ] yeah , i know . i know they check passports . i 'm just gon na have to figure out a way around it . father stanislov : there is another way -- boat going to america . [ scene_break ] valentin : can i offer you a drink ? laura : no , thank you . not from you . lulu filled me in about how you bought ava 's silence ... with some kind of a promise of a - a miracle restoration ? valentin : well , i do n't know about that , but i did give her a referral to the clinic that performed all my surgeries . laura : you took advantage of a vulnerable woman who 's suffering from disfigurement . valentin : i 'm gon na go out on a limb here and suggest that i 've probably forgotten more about pain and disfigurement than you will ever hope to learn . laura : and yet , you were still willing to use that against ava to manipulate her . valentin : did lulu , uh , tell you that we agreed to joint custody ? laura : you did n't give her a choice . valentin : we agreed to compromise for charlotte 's sake . laura : you forced her into it . [ scoffs ] you murdered my son , you left spencer an orphan , and now i think it 's time that i got revenge for all of it . [ scene_break ] cassandra : are we really going through this tiresome pantomime again ? go get your glass . man : thank you , madam . cassandra : dr. finn seems very capable . too bad i have to travel to the states to be treated by him . man : yes , it is . madam , you 're not seriously considering ... ? cassandra : it 's just a plane . it 's not like it 's a voyage in a three - masted schooner . man : you despise planes . cassandra : well , they 're disgusting -- all those germs trapped in the air vents . man : much safer to stay here . cassandra : i ca n't be cured here . [ scene_break ] finn : seriously , here i am -- i 'm playing spy games against my better judgment , i 'm doing the best i can to hold up my end of whatever the hell this is . anna : and you have -- you have . finn : oh , okay , so , all i really want to know is if cassandra does n't want me to treat her , am i off the hook or ... or do you find some other use for me ? anna : may i point something out to you ? finn : instead of answering my question ? sure . anna : we 're in monte carlo . hmm ? yeah , i know maybe i pressured you into coming here , and maybe , yes , it 's kind of a strange way to show my gratitude for saving my life , but you 're on an adventure . you know ? by the looks of things , you really needed it . finn : no , that 's where you 're wrong . i did n't need that . you know what i needed ? i needed peace . i needed to be left in peace , and the only face i needed to see was roxy . anna : your lizard ? finn : technically , bearded dragon . she 's a support animal . and i know that 's -- that must sound very strange to someone like you who dodges bullets for a living , but yes , i have an emotional - support animal . anna : i think that 's really nice . finn : really ? anna : mm - hmm . finn : well , it 's just ... that , you know , i can talk to her . she 's the closest thing i have to a friend . do you have someone like that ? you know , like , um ... like a friend or a confidant , or is that verboten in your world ? anna : well , it 's not verboten ... finn : ah . anna : ... but it 's risky because ... attachments ... that kind of shows your vulnerabilities , and your enemies ... they can exploit that ... and they will ... and they do . and then , sooner or later , your dedication to duty just kind of leads to disappointment and regret . finn : yeah ... i get that . [ cell phone beeping ] finn : [ scoffs ] is that your boss ? what are you -- what are you going to tell them when they ask for a progress report ? anna : aww ! [ scene_break ] griffin : okay , it 's all clear . we should get going . ava : yeah , i know , it 's ... it 's just you being here ... you showing up here like this in the nick of time ... if i did n't believe in miracles before , i certainly do now . griffin : look , that was insane . what were they gon na do to you ? ava : i - i 'm not sure . i know that klein was getting ready to punish me for helping another patient escape . griffin : light -- light hair , blue eyes ? ava : yeah . yeah . how do you know that ? griffin : he told me where to find you . ava : oh , it 's the man you met in the church . griffin : yeah . ava : is he all right ? griffin : last i saw . look , do -- do you have your travel documents and your passport ? ava : no , there 's a room down the hall where they keep the patient ids , and it 's locked . griffin : wait , wait , w - will this help ? i t -- i took this off of klein . ava : well , first a fight , now theft ? i 'm impressed , father . maybe there 's hope for you yet . griffin : hurry , okay ? every second counts . [ scene_break ] father stanislov : this is vasca -- a sailor . his ship goes to america . patient 6 : you can get me onboard ? father stanislov : yes , he has agreed . patient 6 : i 'll pay . i 'll pay . this is just a deposit . i 'll get you more money when we get to the us . just please , take it . father stanislov : you do n't need to pay . he helps stranger -- his act -- pleasing to god . patient 6 : then you take it . father stanislov : no , your need is greater . you keep . patient 6 : thank you . [ knock on door ] anderson : open up . [ scene_break ] valentin : you have my attention . laura : this ava thing ? you 're gon na fix it . valentin : um ... [ glass thuds ] valentin : laura , even if i wanted to , ava 's already retracted her statement in writing . it 's out of my control . laura : you got her to change her mind once , you can do it again . valentin : ava 's out of the country . i have no idea when or even if she 's coming back to port charles . laura : you sent her away ! you can get her to come back ! and for god 's sake , it 's not like you have n't kidnapped anyone before , have you ? valentin : you 're disappointed and you are upset , but you have to face facts . with ava 's testimony withdrawn , spencer 's civil suit is dead in the water . laura : oh , no , no . we are going ahead with that lawsuit , with or without ava . valentin : well , then , my lawyers will bury you ... laura : [ scoffs , laughs ] valentin : ... and you will be putting spencer through a pointless ordeal , because you ca n't even prove that nikolas is dead . laura : i know my son is dead , and i know you did it -- cruelly , deliberately . and i know you never paid for it , either . and now you probably think that you never will , right ? 'cause you got ava to change her story , so you just think you 're -- you 're home - free , right ? think again . [ laughs ] is this how it felt when you held the gun on my son -- knowing that at any moment , you could just pull the trigger ... and end his life ? well , now i know what it felt like to be in your shoes , and you know what it felt like to be in his . [ scene_break ] anna : it 's from my daughter , robin . finn : [ chuckles ] i met her . she 's nice . anna : yeah . finn : is she one of those attachments that you mentioned that your enemies have tried to use against you ? anna : yeah . all her life . most recently , olivia jerome . she held her trapped in an elevator at the hospital with a bomb . do you remember that ? finn : i did n't realize that was about robin . anna : yeah . i came so close to losing her . but this summer , she had her second child -- a little boy . [ chuckles ] he just went for his well - baby checkup , and he passed with flying colors , so ... finn : really ? that 's nice . anna : yeah . he 's named after his two grandfathers -- noah robert . we call him noah , but really , he takes after robert . i mean , it 's kind of crazy to say that you can see the twinkle in the eye of a newborn baby , but you really can . i mean , he 's just -- he has it . he 's so like his grandfather . finn : where 's -- where 's our food ? this is taking forever . anna : you know , i never even told robert that i was pregnant with robin . i did n't tell him . i gave her to a good friend to raise . not a day goes by that i do n't regret those lost years . finn : years ? anna : six years ... yeah . i had to keep her in hiding . i used to go and see her as a friend , but i could never really be her mother . you know , i could n't tuck her in at night or ... kiss away her tears . and then , we were able to be together , and i just became a mom with a vengeance -- you know , full - time ... until we were separated again . but now , she has , uh , two children . she 's a mother . you know , i have a second chance to make up for lost time . finn : you ca n't . you ca n't ever make up for abandoning the people you love . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] ava : hey . griffin : i was worried you got caught . ava : no , no , no . i 'm not gon na waste this miracle getting caught . got my wallet , my passport -- my phone ! griffin : hey , maybe we could skip the packing . ava : no , no , no , i 'm almost done . griffin : well , is there anything in there that ca n't be replaced ? if not , just leave the luggage . let 's get the hell out of here ! ava : `` get the hell out of here `` ? well , that 's nice language for a priest , huh ? griffin : if that 's what it takes to get through to you , leave the damn luggage and let 's get moving ! ava : what do you think we 're gon na do ? we 're gon na peek out there and make sure the coast is clear and then make a run for it ? griffin : yes . ava : no . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] anderson : we 're searching for an escaped mental patient . let us in ! [ speaks russian ] patient 6 : is there another way out of the church ? father stanislov : uh , yes , vasca will show you . patient 6 : no , not for me . for you . you need to get out of here -- both of you . father stanislov : what will you do ? patient 6 : i 'm gon na stop these guys . father stanislov : no ! patient 6 : they 've already been here once . they came back because they figured out i 'm here . father stanislov : then , go . patient 6 : i 've seen these guys . they 're gon na come in here , they 're gon na tear this place apart , and when they do n't find me , they could take it out on you . and i do n't want that to happen . [ knock on door ] anderson : last chance ! unlock the door ! patient 6 : please , you have to get -- you have to get out of here . father stanislov : i can not let you fight in house of god . [ scene_break ] valentin : you are so lucky . laura : me ? you do n't know how close i came to putting bullets in this gun . valentin : it 's a mistake to wave a gun at a person when you do n't know what level of self - defense training they 've got . laura : oh , i know you 're dangerous . that was a risk that i was willing to take , because i wanted you to have the experience ! i wanted you to know what it felt like to know that your life was about to be over . you know , valentin , you are not invincible . you 're not invulnerable . valentin : i never claimed to be either of those things . laura : tell me something ... valentin , i 'm curious . when you thought it was all about to be over , what god do you pray to ? or do you ? [ scene_break ] anna : you have no idea how hard it was for me to leave my daughter . yes , she was showered in love and affection , but it hurt like hell . finn : somehow , you found the strength to abandon your child . anna : [ clicks tongue ] i did n't have a choice . finn : i know . you did n't have a choice , you know , 'cause ... you know , maybe the pregnancy was an accident , right ? and you did n't think you were set up to be a mother . you knew your job was important to you , so to be good at your job , you had to -- you had to choose that over your daughter . you did n't even have the strength to tell the baby 's father the truth . anna : you have no right to judge me . finn : you had no right to run away . you had no right to run away 'cause you were lucky enough to be having a child and to be having a child with a man who loved you so much . anna : oh , this is about hayden ... and the baby you lost . [ scene_break ] ava : trust me , i have a little expertise in this area . the way to get away with a crime -- thank you -- is to make it look like no crime took place . griffin : i do n't consider it a crime to run for our lives . ava : well , we 're not gon na run . we are gon na have the main desk call us a car , and we are gon na very calmly walk down the hallway with my luggage in tow . griffin : but if klein wakes up -- ava : but i thought you said he 'd be out for hours ? griffin : but what if i 'm wrong ? you know , what if i 'm wrong ? what if -- what if somebody finds him ? you do n't think they 're gon na come looking for us ? ava : do they even know you 're here ? griffin : yes . i had to use my medical credentials to get in . i told them i was consulting with a patient . ava : well , then , that 's perfect . the result of that consultation is that i 've decided to check out , and i 'm gon na leave with my personal physician . griffin : oh , my god , this is insane . we 're gon na get caught . ava : no , if we do it your way , we 'll definitely get caught . if we do it my way , we have at least a 30 % chance of success . so , father , would you mind getting the door ? [ scene_break ] father stanislov : god has helped you . do n't repay him with violence . patient 6 : i - i 'm not the one you should be worried about . father stanislov : go now , please . [ speaks russian ] patient 6 : thank you . [ door opens ] father stanislov : all are welcome here , but , uh , i only speak , uh , small english . anderson : we 're looking for an escaped patient . he 's very dangerous . someone else already lied and said he was n't here . another american . father stanislov : another ? anderson : our patient is also american . we 'd like to handle this quietly , but we can call in the police to search . father stanislov : the police can come if you want , but as you can see , there 's no one here . anderson : we 'll see . no one back there . [ scene_break ] finn : [ sighs ] i guess i 'm just not bond material . anna : you 're doing just fine . finn : [ sighs , sniffles ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry about what happened in there . i got a little lost thinking about ... this woman i loved and this baby i could n't wait to hold in my arms . and part of me keeps thinking that if hayden had stayed , if he had n't run , i could 've saved the baby . i 'm -- i 'm not good at much , but i 'm a hell of a doctor . and it was early in the pregnancy , and i ... forget i said that . [ chuckles ] the road to hell is n't paved with good intentions , it 's paved with if - only 's . anna : hey , um ... i can just say something , but it 's , um , gon na sound really hypocritical . finn : by all means , go for it . anna : [ chuckles ] i do n't know . [ sniffles ] sometimes you just have to accept that ... things are n't in your control . finn : [ inhales sharply ] you 're only saying that 'cause you think you still need me . anna : no . finn : do n't worry . your operation 's safe . i 'll continue to play nice with cassandra 'cause it 's -- it 's pretty clear i got ... nowhere else to go and nothing better to do . [ scene_break ] cassandra : i 'd like to know more about dr. finn 's traveling companion . man : why ? cassandra : he never even mentioned her name . man : is there any reason he should ? cassandra : a man and a woman vacationing together in monte carlo ? they 're either siblings , lovers , or business associates , or some combination thereof . man : they could simply be friends . cassandra : [ scoffs ] platonic friendships between a man and a woman are like unicorns -- everyone 's heard of them , but no one 's actually seen one . man : you consider me your friend ? cassandra : ' course i do -- a well - paid one . i 'm still trying to figure out whether dr. finn 's silence about his traveling companion implies a lack of involvement or a secret . man : it wo n't matter if you never see him again . cassandra : you expect me to pass up a chance to be accurately diagnosed -- maybe even cured ? man : when no one else could cure you , why should he ? cassandra : he 's brilliant . man : is that all ? cassandra : as opposed to ... ? man : madam has been known to mix business with pleasure . cassandra : [ scoffs ] do n't be absurd . the man is a doctor . man : and ? cassandra : and this time will be different . i 'm almost sure of it . [ scene_break ] valentin : i do n't pray to anyone for anything . but if my life ever does flash before my eyes , i will be faced with some pretty powerful regrets . laura : you do n't regret killing my son . you 're happy you got away with it . valentin : i regret the encounter on cassadine island because , as it turns out , my father 's will was already written and i am the legitimate heir . so , i could 've very peacefully disinherited nikolas without resorting to violence , and that would 've been better off for everybody . laura : you bastard . valentin : yeah , i know . and i also know that you mean that as an insult , but it 's nothing short of the truth . laura : you would n't know the truth if it jumped up and bit you . all you know are lies ! and you know what ? soon , nina is going to figure that out , and one day , charlotte will , too . valentin : i 've missed our chats . and charlotte will be very glad to have you back in town , because she needs her grandmother , and you and i really should learn how to get along together . laura : oh , you 've got this all figured out , do n't you ? valentin : oh , hardly ! but like i said , lulu and i came to an agreement for charlotte 's sake . laura : which you forced her into . valentin : i did n't hold a gun on her like you just did me ! and if you ever think about denying this , i want you to think long and hard about what kind of tech i have installed here , because i might have video of everything that 's transpired . and if i show it to the police , you 'll be facing some very serious criminal charges . laura : you 're bluffing . valentin : is that what you 're counting on ? laura : mm - hmm . valentin : because i promise you , if you ever pull a stunt like this again or if you try to disrupt my agreement with lulu -- laura : you 'll what ? valentin : i 'll win . and you and that bobble - head daughter of yours will lose . [ scene_break ] ava : i keep thinking , `` am i dreaming this , or did klein actually drug me and i 'm having some kind of hallucinations or what ? `` griffin : [ groans ] you 're not dreaming . ava : oh , you -- you probably should n't be encouraging my vices . griffin : oh , come on , you had a tough day . ava : mm . oh . [ sighs ] i ca n't believe we did it . we got out of that clinic , we managed to find the airport , we got through security , and we got ourselves to these seats . griffin : well , are n't you the one that said we had a 30 % chance ? ava : well , i was lying . griffin : [ chuckles ] ava : [ chuckles ] griffin : that certainly did n't show the way -- the way you stayed icy calm as we walked out of the front of that clinic . and were n't you scared at all ? ava : oh , yeah . yeah , i was scared to death . griffin : well , you have nothing to be afraid of now . all you have to do is lean back and close your eyes and sleep . i 'll wake you up when we get to jfk . woman : ladies and gentlemen , we 've been detained at the gate for some kind of security issue . [ scene_break ] laura : excuse me . [ inhales sharply ] you know , there 's one more thing that i want you to know before i leave . it 's about your family . valentin : you mean our family . laura : your step - mother put a curse on me once . valentin : yeah , that sounds like helena . laura : mm . valentin : you believe in curses , do you ? laura : i do n't , but the funny thing is , you do n't need to believe in helena 's curses for them to work . valentin : so , how does this curse manifest itself ? laura : oh , she could make things happen . but just knowing that she had a vendetta against me and everyone i love , that was enough . she tortured me and my family for decades . valentin : well , then , i suppose it 's best for all of us that she 's gone . laura : you know , that 's what i thought , too . after she died , i thought maybe the curse was finally broken , but i was -- i was very cautious . i waited a moment to see ... if there was any black cloud looming on the horizon . and then , there you were . valentin : well , you know , curses are a lot like prophecies and gods . they really only have as much power as you give them , so i choose not to believe in such stuff . laura : you do n't have to believe in the supernatural to understand evil . it 's a sickness of the mind , of the heart -- it manifests itself through the things you do -- the things you put out into the world . valentin : uh , if this is gon na be a lecture on karma -- laura : oh , yeah , i 'm sure that you do n't believe in karma . but you know what ? just like helena 's curses , you do n't need to , 'cause karma works whether you believe it or not . so just enjoy this little victory of yours now . but , valentin ? you will never know peace of mind . you will have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life , wondering when your past is gon na catch up with you . [ scene_break ] anna : i 'm sorry . finn : [ scoffs ] for what ? i mean , there 's a lot to choose from . anna : [ laughs ] yeah . i was really insensitive -- talking about my family and my grandchildren , knowing what you 've been through . finn : it was fine . i 'm sorry . i ... i should n't have judged you for leaving your daughter . i know that must 've been heartbreaking , and you were just doing what you thought was best . anna : yeah . i do n't know . okay , so ... now we 've officially apologized for everything we regret . finn : yeah . anna : we should probably quit while we 're ahead . just cancel the food and ... get the check . finn : yeah . anna : call it a night , yeah ? finn : yeah , we , uh , we probably should . anna : okay . finn : yeah . but where 's the fun in that ? anna : sorry , what ? finn : you were right before . i mean , we 're not in new york , we 're in -- we 're in monte carlo . the smart play here when you 're on a roll is you double - down . i mean , that is unless you 're not still a gambler . anna : [ chuckles ] what did you have in mind ? [ scene_break ] announcer : sorry about the delay . this issue has been resolved , and we 'll be pushing back from the gate very soon . please sit back and relax and enjoy our flight to new york city . ava : oh , god , i 've missed this . believe it or not , even underground russian medical facilities do not serve alcohol . at least not to patients , anyway . griffin : after what you 've been through ... ava : mm . once this goes down the hatch , i 'm not gon na think about how that flight attendant tried so hard not to look at me and how so many of these passengers -- they were very busy , uh , studying the emergency card . griffin : some of them were actually reading it for the instructions . ava : oh , really ? griffin : yes . ava : oh , good . well , let 's hope whatever 's on that laminated card can save us if we go plummeting into the atlantic . griffin : [ sighs ] so , you ready to tell me about what happened back at the clinic ? [ scene_break ] [ door creaks ] patient 6 : this is great , thank you . vasca : when underway , no crew this level . till then , be careful . patient 6 : yeah , i 'll stay out of sight . one q -- one question -- where in the us is this ship headed ? vasca : new york . [ scene_break ] finn : you know , we told this big crime syndicate we were in monte carlo to have a good time . anna : mm - hmm . yeah ? finn : we -- we have to keep up the front . we need to look the part . so , what do you say we go on back to the hotel , i 'll try to round up a dinner jacket , you find yourself a dress , we hit the town , maybe try our luck in the casino . what 's your game ? is it roulette or baccarat ? anna : let 's roll the dice and see what happens next . finn : you 're on . anna : yeah ? [ chuckles ] let 's go . thank you . [ scene_break ] ava : and now you want me to change my testimony to help exonerate you , and for what ? so i can once again be pretty ? ! valentin : do you really want spencer to wonder if his father 's alive and well out there ? that he 's actually just abandoned him ? ava : i know you killed him 'cause i saw it with my own eyes . valentin : well , you have two choices -- you have two choices . you can stand by your original statement , you can put us all through a pointless trial , and you can look like you do for the rest of your life . or you can sign it . [ cell phone ringing ] valentin : i thought i told you we have nothing further to discuss . cassandra : well , i 've never known you to make such a blindly uninformed decision . i should think , given our past -- valentin : but despite what you and certain other people in my life believe , the past is much better left where it is . cassandra : well , we 'll put your theory to the test when i see you . valentin : and when do you think that 's going to be ? cassandra : sooner than you do . i 've decided to seek treatment with dr. hamilton finn , which means i will need to come to port charles . a bientôt , mon chérie . [ scene_break ] ava : you know , if it 's all the same to you , i 'd rather not relive what happened at the clinic right now . griffin : i mean , you said you helped that man escape and the doctor was punishing you for it . why ? ava : just later , okay ? right now , all you need to know is written all over my unfinished face . griffin : hey . come on , do n't -- do n't lose hope . there -- there still might be a way . ava : i already received one miracle today . i do n't think i ought to push my luck . griffin : fair enough . ava : besides , the more you talk about me , the more you 're avoiding the question . why did you come to find me ?

[ scene_break ] emily : what makes you think leaving port charles will give you what you want ? jason : i do n't know , but i ca n't remember anything . there 's nothing to keep me here . look , i 'm sorry that you 've been through , you know , a bad situation , and from what you 've said , i 'm the one that you used to depend on . emily : always . jason : i ca n't be that person anymore . i have to leave . emily : jase , i 'd never ask you to stay for me . but would you think about staying for yourself ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i ca n't do this . i ca n't leave carly here . lainey : you do n't really have a choice . sonny : watch me . i 'm taking carly home . [ scene_break ] jax : the night i found out that elizabeth lost the baby , you were there for me . you were very kind . courtney : well , i knew what you were going through , the pains . jax : and also when i found out that i was n't the father of sam 's baby , you were there for me then , too . always seems to be about children with us , does n't it ? anyway , i do n't know if you believe in karma or not , but i think it 's time to set mine straight . courtney : jax , you do n't have to . jax : no , i really do , because i never thought that i could treat a woman the way i treated you . courtney : well , i think that there 's plenty of blame to go around . jax : i 'm not saying that i excuse what happened , you know , the damage that was done to our marriage and to me personally , but the way i reacted -- that was the reaction of an angry , bitter man , and i do n't want to be that guy . i want us to try to move on and put what happened behind us . [ scene_break ] emily : i 'm your sister . jase , i love you , and nothing would make me happier than knowing that you 're out of danger . but deep in my heart , i still believe that one day you 're going to remember everything -- who you are , who you cared about . it 's all going to come rushing back , and when it does , i do n't want you to regret this decision to leave now . jason : i ca n't live my life waiting for my memory to come back . emily : jason , i do n't know if you know this , but sonny is living his worst nightmare . he told me that he 's putting the mother of his children , a woman that you cared so much about , in a mental hospital . jason : after what she did to you , emily , it 's clearly where she needs to be . she needs help right now . emily : it goes deeper than that . sonny 's had breakdowns . he 's had mental problems of his own . ok , and besides carly , it was you who helped him , jason , who covered for him and protected him . and he 's dealing with carly 's illness , and at the same time the ruiz family is ready to pounce . jason : i know , but the way things are right now , if i help , i could just make things worse for everyone . emily : sonny 's support system is in shambles , jason . i 'm at a loss of what to do for him . jason : it 's his life , it 's his family , it 's his business . i ca n't do what sonny wants me to do . look , i just wanted to say that -- you know , thank you for everything , and i hope you 're out of here soon . emily : jason ? when the day comes that you remember everything , i hope it 's not going to be too late . [ scene_break ] sonny : i can take care of carly myself . lainey : how 's that working for you so far , sonny ? you 've done everything but lock carly up in the attic , but she still managed to put emily in the hospital . sonny : that was an accident . she believed that , you know , emily was faith rosco . lainey : sonny , no , that was n't an accident . that was a paranoid hallucination , and with the next one she might not be able to stop herself in time . tell me what you want for carly , sonny . when all of this is over , what 's your hope ? sonny : i just -- i want her to be herself again . lainey : ok . sonny : all right ? lainey : well , then this is the best chance . i mean , this is a nurturing environment with caring with caring professionals . honestly , i can not think of a better place for a woman in carly 's condition . sonny : i promised . i just promised i would not put her away . lainey : well , then you made a mistake . the promise should have been that you would get her well no matter what . sonny : you do n't understand . i swore this would never happen . lainey : do n't make this about your failure , sonny . if carly needed a new heart , would you perform the surgery ? you know i 'm right or else you would n't be here . sonny : i do n't want her to hurt anybody or herself . lainey : i know . and you 're doing the right thing , ok ? you stay focused on what 's good for carly . your ex - wife has a medical condition that requires professional help . you love her enough to let her get it . sonny : all right , we 'll try it , you know , but i 'm not going to just disappear . i 've got to say goodbye to carly . carly : dr. kim , this is my ex - husband and father of my children . dr. kim : we 've met . i 've assured mr. corinthos that we 'll take very good care of you . sonny : how do you like the doctor ? carly : he 's fine . sonny : yeah ? listen -- carly : sonny , could you take me back to my room ? i just -- i do n't think i can be alone . yeah ? [ scene_break ] monica : hi . jason : hi . monica : how are you ? jason : better . monica : i heard you got a job at the docks . jason : yeah , crane operator . i actually liked it , but i 'm not staying . monica : why not ? jason : well , you know , sam and i , we 're leaving town . i just kind of need a clean break from whatever my life was before . monica : that 's what you came to tell me ? jason : yeah . and you have been good to me . it would have been so easy for you to be like alan , but you respected me , and i just want to thank you for that . monica : i 'll always respect you . and i 'm going to miss you . i 'm going to miss you terribly . but i 've always just wanted for you to be safe , to be away from the violence and the bloodshed . so where you going to go ? jason : i -- i should n't really say anything because -- monica : oh , no , you should n't . no , that 's right . safety 's sake , yeah . but you 've got to promise me something -- you 'll stay on your medication ? and wherever you and sam end up , you find a doctor that you are secure with , you have them get in touch with me , and i will forward your files , ok ? jason : we 'll see . monica : no , jason , please promise me . promise me you 'll take care of yourself . jason : i am . that 's why i 'm getting out while i can . monica : i love you . and i am glad . i 'm really glad that you and sam are going to have a chance to build a life on your own terms . after everything you 've been through , you certainly deserve that . jason : thank you . [ scene_break ] javier : in the interest of full disclosure , we 're about to make our move on sonny corinthos . lorenzo : at the risk of repeating myself , what you do is none of my business . i agreed to stay out of it which means we have nothing further to discuss . javier : lorenzo , if you think sonny and i are going to cancel each other out , leave the door open for you to walk in and take over , that would be a mistake . lorenzo : what we 're talking about here is last man standing . javier : and that 's going to be me . tonight sonny loses his last line of defense . the rest is easy . skye : lorenzo , darling . you did n't tell me that mr. ruiz would be joining us this evening . may i call you javier ? i feel as if i know you so well . javier : i do n't believe we 've met . lorenzo : javier ruiz , skye quartermaine . skye : lorenzo 's mistress . [ scene_break ] courtney : there were so many things that went wrong on both sides . as long as you know i never -- i never set out to hurt you , jax . jax : yeah , but i did hurt you . courtney : but you also taught me a lot , too . jax : that revenge is n't all that ? courtney : well , you also taught me that good things come when you least expect them . jax : you know , everyone 's been so concerned with elizabeth and me over the baby -- courtney : as they should be . jax : but i have n't forgotten that you lost a baby , too . courtney : thank you . jax : i 'd really like us to forget the ugliness and try to remember the reasons why we cared about each other . you know , you started by helping me the other night as a friend . i owe you at least as much . [ knock on door ] mike : hey , honey . courtney : hey . mike : why ca n't you just leave my daughter alone ? [ scene_break ] sonny : nice color , huh ? carly : yeah . yeah , it makes me feel warm . sonny : when you wake up in the morning , you 've got a beautiful garden . carly : i know , i know . there 's a hummingbird feeder right outside the window . sonny : you just love those hummingbirds . carly : i know . i watch them from michael 's room . i love the way the alpha male chases off all the other birds . i love the way that he only lets the family , his mate and his babies , near the feeder . he makes sure that they 're taken care of . he 's ferocious about it . sonny : i 'm sorry . i promised that i 'd -- carly : oh , yeah , promises . people break promises all the time . you know , what are you going to do ? sonny : if there 's anything you need , anything you want -- carly : you know what i want , sonny . sonny : the boys need their mother to be well . and i got something to remind you of that . i ordered it a couple weeks ago . it 's a -- it 's a charm thing . it 's for each of our sons , michael and morgan , but what i wanted is for you to put in on your wrist so that way when you look at it -- carly : i love this bracelet . sonny : well , you know -- carly : will you tell michael and morgan that i love them , too ? sonny : let the doctors help you , ok ? you do that for me , ok ? carly : and sonny . i love you . sonny : i love you . ok . [ scene_break ] courtney : daddy , do n't worry . mike : have n't you done enough damage , jax ? do you need to kick my daughter in the teeth again ? courtney : we just -- we were talking things through , dad , it 's ok . mike : well , that 's great , that 's great . talk about how he dragged you through the mud , called you a liar , and god knows what else . so what 's the plan tonight , jax , blackmail or out - and - out threats ? courtney : daddy , please stop . jax : no , your dad 's right . i did -- i did behave badly . mike : oh , you bet you did . jax : and i 've apologized to courtney and she 's been kind enough to cut me some slack , and i 'm hoping that you will do the same . mike : why ? because you 're such a standup guy ? you knew how much my daughter wanted to be a mother , and then what do you ? you dangle the promise of a baby in front of her and then you pull out the rug . you are a coward . courtney : dad , stop . elizabeth miscarried . she lost the baby . mike : oh , my god . jax : i think we can all agree that we 've suffered enough , so thanks for hearing me out . courtney : i 'll see you soon . mike : i 'm sorry , sweetheart . courtney : no , it 's -- it 's just been really hard on everyone . mike : yeah , but even so , i 'm impressed with your generosity . i mean , the way that jax has treated you is -- courtney : jax may be the father of my baby . [ scene_break ] skye : you 've visiting us from miami , are n't you , javier ? oh , i just love that part of the country . south beach is my favorite -- the eating and the shopping and ending the evening salsa dancing with the one you adore . hmm , what more could a girl ask for ? do you salsa , javy ? lorenzo : it 's javier . skye : oh , i bet you do under that long , lean look . you know what you should do ? i 'll tell you what you should do . you should open a salsa club right here in port charles -- once you get rid of that sonny corinthos . that man is so old school . no , we need to liven up this burg a little bit . lorenzo : skye is a beautiful woman with a very overactive imagination . skye : oh . you never seemed to mind that before , cupcake . javier : i 'd watch the pillow talk , cupcake . you might find yourself not sleeping well at all . skye : oh . i think he likes me . lorenzo : do you have a death wish , or is it me you 're trying to have killed ? skye : you want me to shut up ? tell me where to find luke . [ scene_break ] lainey : sorry i 'm late . i was checking your client 's ex - wife in at roselawn . justus : did you clear that with john durant ? lainey : is this going to be an issue between us ? just tell me now and i 'll leave , save us both from wasting time . justus : i just ca n't believe you would call the d.a . lainey : i called carly 's father . the fact that durant is also the d.a . is an unfortunate coincidence . i 'm not going to apologize for doing what 's best for my patient . justus : it was a breach of a violation of trust -- lainey : i saw a train wreck happening and i had to do something . carly was dangerous . apparently , sonny agrees with me . justus : sonny ran out of options . lainey : sonny was the one who brought her to roselawn . he checked her in himself . justus : how 'd it go ? lainey : it was heartbreaking . carly was calm . she seemed to accept the inevitable . justus : carly ? was she medicated ? lainey : it was as if she wanted help but she did n't know how to ask for it . you know , it 's not uncommon for a patient to feel a sense of relief when their burden is lifted ; when they do n't have to work so hard to appear normal . justus : you would know what it 's like , would n't you , i mean , as a patient and everything ? [ scene_break ] javier : i do n't care if morgan says he wants out . when we move , he 's going to step up for corinthos , and i do n't need that kind of trouble . man : you gave him his chance , boss . javier : and he did n't have the sense to take me up on it , so tonight we 're going to take him out . [ scene_break ] jason : i was just with emily . sonny : how 's she feeling ? jason : she 's scared , mostly for you . yeah , she told me what happened with your ex - wife , that you had to put carly in that -- that place . sonny : at least i got to walk out . she 's stuck there . the one thing i promised her after everything , you know , that she helped me -- you can imagine how difficult this is for both -- or maybe you ca n't . i do n't know . it 's just you would have been very proud of carly , the way she stood up . it 's the most terrifying thing for her . jason : you should know ruiz is n't backing down . sonny : on that cheerful note -- jason : he came to see me tonight . he asked me to work for him . actually , he tried -- he tried to force me . sonny : well , he 's a smart man . he knows a good man when he sees one . what did you say ? jason : no way in hell . sonny : be careful . you do n't want him to get the idea that , you know , you want to come back and work for me . [ scene_break ] courtney : you know , of course i did n't believe the pregnancy test . i mean , how could i get pregnant , right ? i mean , i ca n't carry a child myself . if i had thought miracles were possible , i mean , why would i have gone through this whole surrogacy ? mike : wait . what happened ? courtney : dr. meadows said to start believing in miracles . daddy , it was n't motion sickness i was feeling . it was morning sickness . and now i have got this little life growing inside me and -- oh , god . you know , poor elizabeth , she 's mourning the baby she conceived for me . it 's just so , so beautiful and cruel at the same time . mike : this is unbelievable . courtney : it 's probably nikolas ' baby . but there is a chance that jax could be the father . mike : so what did jax say when you told him ? you did n't . you did n't , and we all know how well keeping these things secret has worked out in the past . courtney : daddy , i ca n't say anything to either of them until i know for certain . look , jax is completely torn up over losing this baby that elizabeth was carrying . i ca n't just get his hopes up on the outside chance . mike : `` out -- outside chance `` ? honey , this is n't a horserace . your life is a wreck , and now you 're having a baby . i mean , one of those men has to step up to the plate . courtney : i do n't even know what nikolas will do , ok ? i just saw him with emily today , and they 're still tied to each other . you know , nikolas is n't even sure if he wants to be a father after his own childhood . he 's not sure he wants to pass on that legacy . and there 's a -- there 's a pretty good chance that i am going to be raising this baby on my own . mike : you think that jax will allow that ? you saw the way he was -- courtney : yeah . mike : when elizabeth was pregnant . courtney : i know , ok , i know . it tore us to pieces . i just -- i do n't want to deal with that right now . mike : deal with it ? honey , you already started by letting him reach out to you today . courtney : as a friend , that 's it . mike : `` as a friend `` ? ok . call it what you want , but you know that jax will not walk away from that baby if it 's his . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : luke 's been gone for weeks . and yet you pick this moment to play with fire just to find out where he is . skye : i suddenly got very lonely . lorenzo : no , there 's more to it than that . you 're playing a very dangerous game , skye , on two fronts . one , you just painted a target on your back for the miami mob . and , two , you called yourself my mistress . why is that ? skye : got your attention , did n't i ? lorenzo : yeah , i suspect that 's what you wanted . why did n't you just come to me and tell me what was in your heart instead of exposing that very lovely neck of yours to javier ? skye : you know very well what 's in my heart . lorenzo : you miss luke . skye : terribly . lorenzo : you want him back . skye : immediately . lorenzo : you need him now more than ever . skye : you know me so well . lorenzo : to be a buffer . skye : exactly . huh ? lorenzo : between you and me , because while you may want luke , you want me , too , and that terrifies you . [ scene_break ] justus : there was something you said at sonny 's that got me intrigued . lainey : and so you decided to investigate me , as opposed to simply asking me outright ? justus : lainey , i 'm counsel to the most powerful man in port charles . when somebody becomes intimately involved in his life , it 's incumbent upon me to do my research . lainey : so what did this research reveal ? justus : it showed that once you graduated high school , before you went to college , you spent some time at a mental institution . lainey : and does this revelation somehow disqualify me from being in the orbit of the most powerful man in port charles ? justus : on the contrary , it shows that you had an unfortunate situation in your life and you turned it into something positive . i think it shows great character . lainey : oh , so i suppose next you 're going to tell me not to take it personally ? justus : take what ? lainey : that you dug around in my past , looking for god knows what behind my back . justus : lainey , i was digging around for anything . it 's no big deal . it was a straightforward background check . lainey : it was a power play , justus , designed to keep me at a disadvantage and to give you leverage , and it was manipulative and it was arrogant . and in case you 're wondering , no , this date is n't going well . [ scene_break ] sonny : when are you leaving ? jason : tonight . sonny : tonight . sam going with you ? jason : yeah , she 's -- she 's the only thing that makes any sense to me . sonny : sam 's good for you . jason : look , i 'm sorry that , you know , you 're going through a bad time . emily 's convinced that i 'm going to regret leaving . sonny : you 've always , you know , figured out what 's going on in your mind , you know , even when you did n't remember . well , i appreciate the heads - up on javier , you know ? apparently , he 's going to try to take away what i 've worked my life for , and i really do n't know how to stop him at this point . more bloodshed . jason : if that 's the only language he understands , what else can you do ? sonny : yeah . javier 's a dangerous man , but not as dangerous as his brother , manuel , the one you put in the hospital . he 's a lowlife , spent too much time in prison . it poisoned him . he does n't appreciate the good things in life like the , you know , crack of a bat at a baseball game , listening to children laughing , or the love of a good woman . because , you know , that 's all that really matters in life . it 's what makes everything worth it . but you have that , i mean , with sam and you trust her . she listens to what you have to say . i used to have that . jason : with carly ? sonny : i 'm going to miss her . anyway , good luck , ok ? jason : i do n't remember , but i can tell you 'd be a really good friend to have . sonny : so would you , jason . jason : you know , sonny , you know , i made my choice knowing nothing . at least you can remember what you 're fighting for . [ scene_break ] justus : think about this , lainey -- if i wanted to dig up dirt on you , i would do it without you knowing , and if i wanted power and leverage , i would spring it on you at a time when you 'd least expect it . lainey : well , in case you had n't noticed , this is what surprise looks like . consider me sprung . justus : this is not how i work . lainey : ok , so convince me you did n't want personal information . justus : not in the way that you think . ok , look , obviously i 'm interested in you , ok ? you 're beautiful , you 're smart , you have a mind that absolutely fascinates me . lainey : that 's what we call conversation , justus . you ask what school i went to , i ask what sports you played . that 's how you get to know someone you 're interested in . justus : all right , i 'll admit i 've never really been good at small talk . i like to cut to the chase . lainey : that 's too bad . you miss half the fun -- the discovery , the common ground . and honestly , you really did put me at a disadvantage . i know virtually nothing about you . justus : well , let me help you out . i went to penn state . i played lacrosse . i 've been engaged once , i love fast cars , i 'm passionate about music . lainey : lacrosse ? are you serious ? justus : i never said i was good at it . you want to talk about it ? lainey : you know , it 's nothing i 'm ashamed of . it was just a painful time . i was a young girl and , you know , life was confusing . justus : is that why you chose the profession you did ? lainey : i met some really amazing people who gave me some great help , and i was moved to pay it forward . if i could help a girl like me or anybody , you know , get ahold of their life , i 'd be giving a great gift . justus : it 's obvious you 're very good at what you do . lainey : thank you , justus . and let me tell you , if you ever root around in my past again without my knowledge , i will drop - kick you in the lake . cheers . justus : cheers . [ scene_break ] skye : you need to get over yourself , lorenzo , ok ? the only thing i want from you is luke 's location . lorenzo : the lady doth protest too much . skye : doth not ! there are far too many strikes against you . lorenzo : name three . skye : well , you 're too dangerous and you 're rebounding from a painful , failed marriage . lorenzo : you 're coming up short . skye : and i am not the least bit attracted to you , ok ? lorenzo : hmm . see , but i was there when we kissed , and your lips belie your words . skye : oh , you leave my lips out of this , ok ? lorenzo : you know , i wish i could , but they 're my proof . skye : do n't you even think about kissing me . do n't you -- lorenzo : i rest my case . skye : lorenzo ? what about luke ? lorenzo : oh , luke is fine . he 'll be back soon . and you 're going to have to make up your mind . [ scene_break ] bellhop : mr. spencer ? mr. spencer , i have the items you requested . [ scene_break ] michael : it 's called roselawn , huh ? that 's a funny name . sonny : it 's a nice place , mike . mama likes it . i mean , the people are -- you know , she likes the people , and she 's even got a hummingbird feeder outside her window . michael : like mine ? so how long is she going to stay in there for ? sonny : well , until the doctors , you know , say she can come home . michael : well , is she locked up ? sonny : it 's not like that , mike . you know , it 's more like a cottage . michael : like in the mountains when we were on vacation ? sonny : yeah , yeah , a lot like that . michael : ok . she needed to get away , huh ? sonny : yeah , i 'm afraid she did . but there 's good news . i know that mama is not here and that you miss her , but you do n't have to live in the guesthouse anymore . you can come back here and live with me , you and morgan . i need you guys because we need to take care of each other and -- you know what i mean ? i mean , because mama 's not going to be here and it 's going to take a little while for her to come back . michael : yeah . sonny : right . michael : so what about jason ? is n't he going to help us ? sonny : well , jason and sam are going to go away for a little while . jason has to take care of himself , and -- but he loves you very much . he always will , and he 'll come home . he 'll come home . michael : we 'll be fine . sonny : yeah , yeah , yeah .

[ scene_break ] javier : check upstairs . go . man : we 're too late . [ scene_break ] sam : no doubts ? jason : if we do n't get out now , i 'm not sure we ever will . i do feel bad about sonny , but he chose his business long before i knew him . sam : someone does always end up getting hurt in the end . jason : i just got to make sure it 's not you . sam : well , it 's our life , and we are finally free to figure it out together .

[ scene_break ] carly : thanks -- i 'm glad you could come by so fast . spinelli : well , it 's an honor , albeit a bit of a puzzlement , to be summoned by the valkyrie . carly : huh . let 's have some refreshments before we get down to business , okay ? spinelli : you -- you have the jackal 's libation and munchie of choice , wow -- which , while tempting and appreciated , give him pause . yes . um -- again , the intriguing invitation is appreciated , but i must obey my master 's orders and refuse any participation in the valkyrie stupid plans . carly : excuse me -- `` stupid plans `` ? spinelli : okay , stone cold 's description , not mine . nonetheless , the grasshopper must follow through on his instructions and steer -- steer clear of any scheme -- carly : even if it means saving lulu 's life from johnny zacchara ? spinelli : it is most unfair of the valkyrie to dangle fair lulu 's safety to entice the jackal to break his word to stone cold . carly : is it working ? spinelli : huh ! you are most effective . carly : i 'm the best , and i hear you 're the best in strange ways that only jason understands , and i believe that if we work together , we can get the job done . spinelli : oh , no -- `` job `` ? carly : keeping lulu safe from johnny zacchara . spinelli : okay , normally , i would be -- i would be more than happy to assist . see , fair lulu 's welfare is a -- is a motivating factor for me . unfortunately , i 'm in a delicate position right now , caught in between opposing immovable , formidable forces -- and the jackal 's loyalty to stone cold is unquestioned , as is stone cold 's loyalty to those that are in his protective circle , which fair lulu is , so why not just get your b.f.f . to -- you know , to take the necessary steps to protect the fair one ? carly : jason knows that i always do what i deem necessary . spinelli : mm - hmm . carly : look , i understand your position , okay ? i do , but i 'm sure i can talk jason into forgiving you this one small transgression . spinelli : you know , stone cold has also mentioned on numerous occasions that your plans have a way of endangering your life . carly : better mine than lulu 's . spinelli : okay . if you 're intent on taking action , why not -- just bring stone cold in , i urge you . carly : i ca n't do that because he will stop me and lulu will be at even more risk . i want access to johnny zacchara , all right ? and i need you to give me everything you can dig up on trevor lansing . [ scene_break ] diane : no one is more motivated than i am to bring down trevor lansing . that cultural fascist got kate fired from `` couture `` and payment must be exacted , so rest assured i am on the alert for even the slightest whiff of illegal misconduct . but caution is of the essence . trevor lansing 's a lot of things , but he 's not stupid . he 's probably already well aware that i am after him . sonny : i 'm sure his first clue was when you tried to impale him with your -- with the heel of your shoe . diane : okay , well , even if i had n't given myself away with that , trevor lansing is very good at covering up his tracks . sonny : why am i hearing excuses with no progress , diane ? diane : what you are hearing is the very thing that irritates you the most , and that is the truth . trevor lansing is going to be very difficult to ambush , legally or otherwise . sonny : everybody has weaknesses , diane . i want you to find trevor lansing 's before we have another body on our hands . [ scene_break ] cody : why am i here ? officer : dr. winters wants to see you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : see , alexis is n't just a good attorney . she 's also one of the most competitive people on the planet , and although she wo n't admit it , it bugs her that sonny replaced her with diane . so winning this for her is just as important as looking out for you . lucky : well , i do n't see the downside . nikolas : well , that depends on what you want when the dust settles . would you rather let elizabeth go in a way that allows you two to have an amicable relationship , or do you want alexis to turn this divorce into a fight that someone has to win , making any good feelings between you and your soon - to - be ex - wife impossible ? [ scene_break ] emily : you and lucky did n't want to subject your kids to the constant tension between you , so you were ready to dot a few i 's and cross a few t 's with an attorney to guide you so that you could detach with care and concern . and now , you 've got two lawyers in the mix that are working their own agendas . elizabeth : no , no , no . diane drew up a very reasonable agreement . i did n't ask for alimony , lucky volunteered to pay child support -- it 's exactly what we had talked about , and then he suddenly changed his mind . emily : okay , maybe alexis , with the best of intentions , influenced lucky , but if the divorce becomes a fight , it could take on a life of its own and keep the tension alive long after the divorce papers are signed and diane and alexis have gone their merry ways . elizabeth : well , lucky 's the one who 's getting alexis into the middle of this . emily : i know , but lucky feels like an outsider and diane 's jason 's attorney . it 's a touchy connection . elizabeth : yeah , well , i 'm a little touchy about trusting the mother of the woman lucky 's sleeping with . epiphany : divorce -- it 's a nasty business with the best of intentions . elizabeth : do you have any words of wisdom you 'd care to share ? epiphany : develop a tough hide . you 're going to need it . [ scene_break ] robin : mom ? hey . where are you ? hey , it 's kind of sta -- oh . of course you ca n't tell me where you are -- you 're probably so deep undercover , you have no idea . hmm . patrick ? uh -- well , you 'd have to ask someone else . we 're not together anymore . not great . actually , i 'm really glad that you called because i really need -- was that an explosion ? mom ? mom , i -- you 're -- mom ? robin : cyndy , it 's dr. scorpio . is dr. drake in er ? you know what ? it -- never mind . [ scene_break ] dr. julian : you know , this goes against what my father taught me about chivalry , but i do n't care . thank you . leyla : hey , at least you 're still walking . dr. julian : well , that 's not good enough . i still ca n't operate . ow . leyla : uh , i suggest you count your blessings . that bullet could 've kept you out of the or permanently . dr. julian : ah -- even worse , it could 've ended my guitar - playing days -- whew . leyla : now , that would 've been a real tragedy . dr. julian : i completely agree . hey , listen , if you 're -- if you 're not busy later , a few of us are going to go to -- to jake 's ? we 're going to go see this new blues band and if you want to come along and join , you 're more than welcome . leyla : thanks , but i actually have plans . dr. julian : funny , because that 's what patrick said . and though he was just as vague , he did n't blush . leyla : okay , okay , so dr. drake and i have sort of a date at the metro court . no big deal . dr. julian : huh -- `` sort of . `` yeah , and see with -- with drake , there is n't a `` sort of . `` there 's just one kind of date , but have fun . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : believe it or not , i am trying to keep this divorce simple . we both want it ; we 're not fighting over alimony or property . the only issue is custody and visitations , and that 's probably best left for the lawyers to sort out . epiphany : sometimes when you make a mess and you leave it for other people to clean it up , they make a bigger mess . dr. behar wants you in x - ray . emily : oh . we 'll pick this up later . elizabeth : right . hey . robin : hey . elizabeth : how happy are you to be done with night - shift duty ? robin : whew -- let me count the ways . elizabeth : oh . here . robin : thank you . oh -- unfortunately , the after - effects still linger . mrs. myers in 1012 -- she needs a dressing change . elizabeth : okay , i 'll take care of it . leyla : okay , i 'm going to take my break now . epiphany : okay . robin : epiphany , i need the blood panel on the gastropareresis patient . robin : how closely do you monitor dr. drake , nurse mir ? leyla : just enough to do my job , and should you like to take this up with him personally , he 's in the er , cubicle two , checking on a patient . emily : hey , robin . robin : yeah ? emily : if you have a minute , i 'd like to talk to you about nikolas . robin : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] lucky : elizabeth never checked to see if i was on board with diane as her attorney . she just hired her . nikolas : i -- i think she just went with somebody she knew who happened to be available . lucky : huh . it was n't enough that elizabeth slept with jason and then lied the whole time we were married ? now she brings in jason 's attorney into our divorce ? nikolas : i -- i do n't think that that thought ever really entered into her mind . lucky : maybe . maybe not . i just want alexis to protect me . nikolas : lucky , if you 're spoiling for a fight here , i highly advise against it . and if you push this too far , okay , someone will get hurt . [ scene_break ] cody : you 're about the last person i ever expected to see again . lainey : how are you holding up ? cody : no access to meds , a murder rap hanging over my head . what 's your professional opinion ? lainey : i 'll give you my personal one -- i owe you . my father was trapped inside his body . his prognosis was n't going to change . and by disconnecting his life support , you had the guts to give him the peace and the dignity that i could n't . cody : it 's too bad society does n't see it that way . in here where i am , they call it murder . besides , i 'm just a vet . i already served my time -- who cares what happens to me now , right ? lainey : if you can get past your raging self - pity , i think there 's a way to get you exonerated . [ scene_break ] carly : oddly enough , we have a lot in common . spinelli : uh -- `` we `` ? huh , as in you and -- i ? carly : there 's no one else here . spinelli : oh , well , perhaps the valkyrie could enlighten me . carly : well , we both like junk food . spinelli : mmmm . carly : we both look out for the people we love , and i 'm assuming you love lulu ? spinelli : the blond one is most close to my heart . carly : it 's like this -- johnny and trevor are connected by the father , anthony . he 's trevor 's client . now , anthony may have put trevor in charge of johnny , even as far as having him cover up any crimes he might have committed . spinelli : you think the warped one killed loyal leticia . carly : if he did , trevor has the proof and i want the proof . spinelli : right , but should n't you leave that line of inquiry to individuals that have a little more experience with the ways of evildoers ? carly : leticia was like family to me and i need to find out who killed her . spinelli : and if we then -- if we then present the proof to lulu , she will abandon all interest in the warped one . carly : and live to love another day . are you in ? spinelli : my cybersacious services are at your command . oh . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know , trevor lansing is more than just anthony zacchara 's mouthpiece . diane : i ca n't tell you how much i deeply resent that term . and i sincerely hope you never use it to describe me . sonny : i need you to focus , diane , because what i 'm telling you is trevor lansing is up to his neck in anthony zacchara 's dirty business -- drugs , prostitution , who knows what else ? trevor broke the law . there 's -- there 's got to be a way to prove that . diane : mm - hmm . but you 're missing the forest for the trees , because the only one who can prove it is you . [ scene_break ] cody : i 've already confessed to unplugging your old man . what -- is n't it kind of late to take it back ? lainey : look , you confessed because i was about to be arrested for murder . and if you had n't , you would 've walked away scot - free . cody : i could n't let you go down for something i did . lainey : your trial is coming up . i think you should change your plea . cody : how would that work ? lainey : there 's been a rash of accidents at the hospital , all done by one person -- jolene crowell . we could -- cody : pin your father 's death on the crazy nurse ? [ scene_break ] officer : all right , mr. cassadine , i 've got your receipt right here . nikolas : thank you . lucky : come on , get up . nikolas : right . lucky : dude , where the hell did that come from ? [ scene_break ] emily : did you happen to go any further with the blood panel that you did on nikolas ? robin : there was nowhere else to go . since nikolas was so vague about his reasons for wanting to get blood work done , i tested for anything and everything . he 's clean . emily : okay . we stepped things up a little bit . robin : how so ? emily : cat scan , mri -- the works . robin : okay , nikolas did n't tell me what 's going on . are you going to ? emily : honestly , robin , i do n't know what 's been going on except nikolas has been having these , um , episodes . robin : describe them . emily : he flies into rages , much more than the situation calls for , and he 's been losing time . robin : that 's not good . emily : yeah . there have been incidents of violence , as well . he attacked jerry and logan hayes twice , and that 's just what we know about . [ emily sighs ] emily : i think that he might have come to you because he thinks that this is a side effect of the poison that jerry injected him with . robin : that 's totally possible . i mean , if that 's what it is , nikolas ' condition could be treatable and temporary . emily : what if it is n't ? [ scene_break ] diane : if the `` mouthpiece `` -- [ diane snickers ] diane : may be so bold , you are the kingpin . your contacts can ask questions in places that would get me bushwhacked . sonny : `` bushwhacked `` ? diane : yeah . what -- okay , what ? so , is my -- is my criminal lingo off in some way ? sonny : `` whacked `` -- diane : `` whacked `` -- sonny : just `` whacked . `` diane : `` whacked . `` `` whacked `` -- whatever . i 'm dead ! `` you `` can find out whether or not trevor lansing is doing business on behalf of anthony zacchara with some simple , well - placed phone calls . sonny : whatever i find out wo n't be admissible in court , diane . you know that . diane : do you see this ? sonny : mm - hmm . diane : you know what it is ? sonny : uh -- a drawing ? diane : it 's a designer sketch of an original dress by neela llorente . sonny : okay . diane : yeah . this was supposed to be my dress , my dream dress -- sonny : mm - hmm . diane : my gift from kate . but trevor lansing got her fired from `` couture , `` so neela llorente is n't even returning her phone calls . so the most i can do with my dream dress is pin it onto some drab little cocktail number and wear it as a corsage , and that infuriates me , and it motivates me beyond belief . so , sonny , you get me the dirt on trevor lansing and i will `` bury `` him under it -- spinelli : godfather ? diane : the worm that he is . spinelli : scratch that -- sorry . sonny : can you -- can you see that we 're busy right now ? spinelli : oh , begging your pardon . i come bearing news of a disturbing nature regarding the valkyrie . diane : you see ? just one sentence and i have a headache . so , you come up with something useful on trevor lansing , then call me . sonny : okay . this better be life and death . spinelli : mm - hmm . sonny : no babble . use words normal people can understand . i want you to start with -- say `` carly . `` spinelli : carly . sonny : what about her ? spinelli : she 's designing a plan to go after trevor lansing . [ scene_break ] trevor : hello , alexis . listen , i -- i miss my little granddaughter . how 's molly doing ? alexis : she 's doing just fine at wyndemere . and kristina 's fallen in love with my nephew 's horse . trevor : hmm . is n't that wonderful ? your whole family is together . you know , i -- i 'm sure that if you wanted to bring them home , that 'd be okay if that 's what you prefer . alexis : your assurance for my daughter 's safety is very much appreciated . trevor : well , alexis , what goes around comes around . would you -- would you let me see molly again , please ? alexis : sure . why do n't i bring her by next week ? we can all have lunch . trevor : huh . thank you . that 's really nice . you are a reasonable woman , alexis . alexis : i 'd like to think so . trevor : as molly 's papa , for her sake , i hope that she takes after you and not my son . alexis : what do you want ? carly : your help with trevor lansing . alexis : no . carly : and if you know what 's good for you and your daughters , you 'll give it to me . [ scene_break ] leyla : i 'm back . epiphany : yeah . you have n't noticed anything different about the er ? leyla : not really . epiphany : take a closer look . there 's no exploding ambulances , no crazy nurses running around pulling plugs or switching meds , no gun - blazing gangsters running in here and shooting up the place . i like it this way . the only drama i want is between doctor and disease . leyla : as opposed to doctors and nurses ? epiphany : since you brought it up , word is that you caught dr. drake jr. 's eye . now , if it 's true , he 's not doing you any favors -- aside from the fact that it 's going to put you in an awkward position with dr. scorpio , which may possibly interfere with patient care . that man goes through women like we go through tongue depressors . leyla : thanks for the warning , but dr. drake and i are just having fun . kelly : `` fun `` is dead and buried -- we 're having a memorial service soon . woman : can somebody help us ? leyla : oh , yeah . what 's the problem ? man : my leg was slammed into a truck door . woman : actually , it was the other way around -- truck door versus leg and me . we got in a fight . man : but all is forgiven . woman : i am so sorry i hurt you . man : i know . i love you . woman : i love you more . kelly : okay -- hey , hey ! hey , you ? yeah , you , with the raging hormones ? this is a hospital , not the back seat of a car , okay ? doctor : excuse us . ahem . kelly : okay . okay . doctor : dial it down a notch . kelly : do you know how hard it is for me to see two people grope each other ? doctor : sex - addiction therapy not going well ? kelly : i have nine more weeks of abstinence . i may just set myself on fire and be done with it -- and -- and wipe that smirk off your face . has anyone pointed out you look like hell ? doctor : thank you . i have n't slept in four days . kelly : sleep - aid addiction therapy not going well ? doctor : well , frankly , it sucks . i took a run at 3 : 00 last night just to tire myself out . i nearly mugged a bum for his bottle of peppermint schnapps to make me drowsy . kelly : we 're a fine pair . doctor : we 're a mess . [ pager beeps ] kelly : i 'll help you if you help me . [ scene_break ] sonny : what is carly planning to do with trevor lansing , and why the hell are you mixed up in it ? spinelli : um -- sonny : come on -- you do n't keep it from me , spinelli . spinelli : okay , perhaps the jackal exaggerated the seriousness of the situation , because i sometimes exaggerate in order -- in an attempt to , you know , explain why -- um -- you -- sonny : just spit it out . spinelli : okay -- um -- carly used our mutual concern for fair lulu , as well as some strategically displayed food items , to extract a promise from the jackal to aid in the gathering of information on the dark father of the dastardly d.a . and his possible connection to the murder of loyal leticia . or that he -- or to procure evidence that he 's covering the identity of the killer . or -- and this is just my theory -- that he actually may be the killer himself . sonny : you know , i actually understood enough of that to -- to know i do n't like it at all . [ scene_break ] carly : be sure to tell me everything trevor lansing has ever said to you . alexis : i ca n't do this right now because i 'm waiting for a client . carly : i need you to talk to me . this is serious , okay ? i do n't think you realize how serious this situation is . no , you need to focus . trevor lansing could be a danger to everyone you care about . alexis : would you like to be more specific ? carly : trevor lansing could be anthony zacchara 's jason . not some clueless attorney who is handling legitimate business , but his right hand . alexis : trevor is molly 's grandfather . when we speak , we speak about molly , or we exchange pleasantries . he 's confirmed that he works for anthony zacchara , he 's also assured me that kristina is safe . that 's all i know . carly : do not be naive when it comes to trevor lansing . alexis : there 's a very difficult balance that i need to maintain here in an effort to keep my daughter safe . please do n't go stomping all over that in an effort to impress sonny with your dubious detective skills . [ phone rings ] alexis : i 've got to take this . [ scene_break ] carly : i need you to connect me to trevor lansing 's room . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . elizabeth : hey . emily : i wondered where you disappeared to . elizabeth : oh , i 've got to get the kids out of daycare and drop them off at gram 's so i can make this meeting with diane . emily : listen , i hope i was n't out of line with my unsolicited advice . elizabeth : no . please , i know you mean well . everybody does , but everybody 's not in my position . i just want to put this whole divorce behind me , forget about how much lucky and i hurt each other , and get on with my new life in my new house . lainey : you know , i think we are in serious need of a girls ' night out . emily : sign me up . elizabeth : me , too . i will call kelly and robin and see if we can arrange something -- maybe at my new house . lainey : hmm . have you spoken to nikolas this afternoon ? emily : no . why ? lainey : i was over at the pcpd , and they brought this guy in -- he was obviously high , and he went berserk . and before anybody else could react , nikolas laid him out flat , with more strength and violence than i thought he was capable of . [ scene_break ] lainey : i am referring her to patrick , and i would love for you to consult . i know you guys are broken up , but i could really use your help on this one . robin : i 'm really sorry . i do n't think i can do it . i got this very strange call from my mom this morning . i heard an explosion , and then we got cut off . my first instinct was to call patrick -- for what , i really do n't know . lainey : a little understanding ? a soft place to land ? robin : all of the above . and the truth is patrick would 've loved to help . but -- he 's going on a date with leyla . i mean , i ca n't say i 'm surprised , but it hurts , you know ? i -- i wish it did n't . even though it 's not the height of professionalism , out of self - preservation , i think the further i stay away from patrick now -- professionally and personally -- the better . [ scene_break ] epiphany : before you start , know that i am not in the mood for whatever buzzes around in that tangled mess you call a brain . spinelli : okay , the jackal is here to visit the angel of mercy -- rather , the angel of death -- jolene . i know i 'm in a lonely minority -- she did terrible things to many . epiphany : jolene sabotaged this hospital , and if she had n't been shot , she would 've killed even more patients . spinelli : all too regrettably true , yes . epiphany : murder is murder . spinelli : yes -- no , and the jackal understands the formidable one 's firm stance . but , remember , the not - so - fair jolene did -- she did save my life . she threw herself in front of a bullet that was meant for me . epiphany : maybe jolene knew that she was caught and chose to take the easy way out . spinelli : i would like to think of her differently . epiphany : nurse crowell is still in a coma and on life support . she is not expected to regain consciousness . spinelli : well , given the price of her actions in this world , maybe she 's better in another . nonetheless , i -- i 'd like to see her . maybe she 'll awake for a moment so i can have one last chance to ask her why she saved me . [ scene_break ] doctor : you were right . i mean , putting my mind on work got my blood circulating . what about you ? kelly : oh , there 's something about a c - section that checks my libido for a while . thanks for the assist . maybe we can do it again soon ? doctor : or maybe we could keep doing it for 68 days and then -- kelly : have sex ? doctor : yuck -- you make it sound so clinical . kelly : well , we 've done the deed . was i being clinical ? [ kelly laughs ] doctor : no , it would just -- it 'd be nice if , you know , it meant more . kelly : oh , maybe it will . we have a deal on the table -- we both stay clean of our respective vices for a couple months , and we celebrate by jumping in the sack . doctor : see , there you go again -- `` the sack `` ? kelly : okay , i am not a romantic person , okay , but trust me . by the time that we get to round two , can promise you fireworks . doctor : you 're on . [ kelly chuckles ] doctor : well , in the meantime , i , dr. andy archer , anesthesiologist and sleep- aid addict , have a meeting ; 67 days , 23 hours , and counting . kelly : okay . dr. julian : oh -- whoa ! kelly : oh , sorry -- oh , sorry . dr. julian : no , it 's my fault . i usually have quicker reflexes . kelly : well , getting shot in the chest tends to slow you down . dr. julian : yeah . kelly : how 's the recovery ? dr. julian : well , i 'm about to go find out . kelly : you look mighty fine to me . dr. julian : yeah , i 'll -- i 'll pass that on to the doctor . so i 'll -- i 'll see you around , yeah ? kelly : okay . dr. julian : all right . [ scene_break ] singer : i 've been looking around to what i want diane : hello , alexis . alexis : ah . diane : elizabeth should be joining me here shortly . alexis : good . i want to go over some things with you before lucky gets here . diane : well , we 've got some time -- smart suit , by the way . alexis : oh . this ? thank you . i was trying out a new color . i wanted to go over your response to this memo that i wrote on lucky 's visitation and -- your hair 's different . do you have a new hairstyle ? diane : oh , yes . yeah , luis left the salon for some less - than - exotic love affair in buffalo , so i thought i 'd let his ex take a stab at me . we 'll see how it works . i 'll be filing my response directly with the mediator . alexis : you jockeying for position ? diane : taking control . elizabeth : hi . diane : hi . elizabeth : i hope i 'm not late . diane : no . alexis : elizabeth , i 'm going to say this to you one more time -- on a personal note , before business starts -- diane is going to pump you up with a lot of false hope . i would like you to stop this before it goes any further . i 'm going to draw up papers that are fair for lucky , i want you to agree not to contest , i want you to sign them . otherwise , i 'm afraid you are going to regret it . [ scene_break ] carly : thanks for coming . trevor : carly . i 'm really pleased and intrigued that you invited me for cocktails . because after our last meeting with jason and you , i never thought that i would be welcome here again . carly : i 've known jason forever . i would protect him with my life . and make no mistake , he would blow your head off in a second if he thought you were seriously threatening mine . trevor : hmm . carly : olive ? trevor : huh . not necessary . carly : but jason and i do n't always see things the same -- like the situation we 're in right now . i think everything is complex and emotional , he does n't . trevor : and ? carly : and i think there 's a way for you and i to help each other out . trevor : to your health . [ scene_break ] diane : it is completely unacceptable that you sit there and try to intimidate my client . alexis : oh , do n't be ridiculous , diane . you know that we have a relationship -- i was giving her the courtesy of a fair warning . diane : oh -- well , then by all means , allow me the same courtesy . hello , lucky . i strongly suggest that you sign the divorce agreement as i originally drafted it . or you will have your wages garnished for the next 18 years , and be fortunate if you see cameron and jake on thanksgiving and every tuesday of every fourth month . alexis : that is completely inappropriate ; we 're not going to give into threats like that . we can take diane and her fright wig on any day of the week . diane : oh -- go shake the mothballs out of your bargain - basement clothes and bring it on . [ scene_break ] robin : mom , i do n't know where you are or what happened , but please just find a way to call me and tell me you 're okay . okay , bye . leyla : dr. drake needs you to officially rescind the course of treatment you ordered for the paresis patient . robin : you 're a nurse -- a relatively new one at that . you do n't get to speak for doctors , or shove yourself in my face just because you 're going on a date with patrick . leyla : and you do n't get to belittle me just because your boyfriend broke up with you . [ scene_break ] kelly : how 'd it go ? dr. julian : hey . well , it went well . i still ca n't go back into the or anytime soon , but i 'm getting my strength back . ow . kelly : if you want to build up on your stamina , you ca n't beat regular cardio . dr. julian : yeah , well -- ahem -- my doctor said i could n't do any running or jumping . kelly : yeah , well , who said anything about staying on your feet ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : go ahead . woman : thanks . that 's a pretty nasty - looking hand . how 'd you hurt it ? nikolas : uh -- actually , i have no idea . [ scene_break ] trevor : carly , you 'll have to be a little bit more specific about what you 're after . carly : i 'm talking about my cousin , lulu -- and johnny zacchara . trevor : hmm . carly : i 'm sure you have your reasons for looking after him , and i have my reasons for looking after lulu . sonny : carly ? carly : this is n't a good time , sonny , okay ? sonny : okay , what -- you may have pulled the rug out from under kate , but you 're not going to do it to the mother of my children . get the hell out of here . carly : trevor is here -- sonny : get him out right now . carly : on my invitation . you are not , you need to leave .

patrick : robin , i do n't want to end our marriage . robin : i 'm just trying to face the facts . patrick : i made some mistakes . some big ones . and you 're hurt , and you 're angry , and you 've been through a lot . so i 'm just asking you not to make any rash decisions . robin : i 'm not . when i was trapped in that well , i had a lot of time to think . i thought about how much i love you . patrick : i love you , too . you and emma are the world to me , and i would do anything for you . robin : i know . but ... what chance did we ever have ? i mean , come on , when i met you , you were a player . you were the kind of guy who could be with any woman he wanted to be with , who did n't want a commitment . i mean , it was completely unrealistic to think that you could ever change . [ scene_break ] jason : you mean you want me to get you an escort ? michael : yeah . it seems like it 'd be a good way to get experience . jason : wait a minute . what about this girl , ali . i mean , you said that she liked you and you like her . why do n't you go down that road and give it a chance , see where it goes ? michael : you know why , jason . you were in pentonville with me . i 'm too messed up for my first time to be with someone like ali . [ scene_break ] lulu : let me guess , a swimsuit photo ? dante : what ? lulu : it 's a women 's fashion magazine , not exactly reading choice for men . dante : ahh . you know what , i was just thinking about what agent bates said about the balkan , how he 's getting stronger . [ scene_break ] brenda : i ca n't . sonny : what are you talking about ? you came to see me . brenda : i came here to be honest with you . sonny : i know . brenda : i have to go . please , let me go . sonny : i 'm not gon na let you go . come on . brenda . come on . [ scene_break ] michael : if i was a normal guy , me and ali would probably get close at the party , but i 'm not a normal guy . jason : you 've just got to give yourself a chance . michael : i ca n't risk it , jason . look , ali knows that i went to pentonville , and she 's cool with that . but she has no idea what happens in a place like that . none of the other guys do . nobody does . no one understands how i feel , jason . it still wo n't leave . jason : michael , that 's why you 've got to take things slowly . you ca n't rush into anything , you ca n't force anything . michael : when ali 's being friendly and she gets close to me , i just ... i react . i snap without even meaning to . what if i lose it on her sometime and i hit her before i can stop myself ? jason : see , right now , you 're trying to protect her . and that means you will . look , the first time with a girl is scary for any guy . michael : that 's my point , jason . honestly , i do n't know what 's gon na happen with ali , but that 's exactly why i need to be with a woman that i have no feelings for . so i do n't feel bad about hurting her or rejecting her . jason : yeah , but i just do n't think the answer is calling some random escort service . michael : that 's why i 'm asking for your help . jason , if you do n't help me , i 'm gon na do it by myself . sam : hi . gosh , i 'm sorry , michael . can i talk to jason ? michael : yeah , no , that 's fine . we 'll talk later . jason : yeah , just do n't do anything before we talk . sam : i was listening to your conversation . and i think i have a way to help michael . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm not defending what i did . it 's indefensible . i was completely wrong . robin : right . well , i do n't think you woke up one day and decided to break our marriage vows . patrick : of course not . robin : i 'm sure you struggled , and now you 're truly remorseful . patrick : yes . robin : but that does n't mean it wo n't happen again . patrick : it wo n't happen again , robin . i promise you that . robin : you seem so sincere . patrick : i 'm serious . i 'm committed to you for the rest of my life . robin : but that 's what you said when we got married , when you said our vows in front of everyone that we loved . and then when temptation came about , you still could n't resist . patrick : lisa was a one - time thing . i 've learned my lesson . i would never , ever jeopardize our marriage again . i love you too much . robin : sometimes love is n't enough . you know , sometimes people are just too different . patrick : how are we different ? robin : because i want fidelity . i want consistency . i want commitment . that 's not who you are , patrick . i realize that you tried to change for me , but you ca n't . patrick : i will change . i have changed already . robin : i do n't think that you can be faithful no matter how good your intentions are . i think it 's better to end our marriage now . [ scene_break ] lulu : how do you know so much about the balkan ? what 's your connection to him ? dante : like i told you before , i was on a case that involved the balkan . lulu : well , what ? i mean , what was the case about ? dante : it was a couple of years ago when i was still a beat cop , so i was only involved peripherally , but i did learn enough about these guys to realize that they are for real . i mean , they are hardcore eastern european mafia . lulu : what happened to the case ? dante : rumor had it it went cold . balkan 's guys went back to europe . lulu : that 's it ? dante : well , that 's all they told me . lulu : oh , okay . yeah , so that 's what bugs you . you probably wish interpol had recruited you to take the balkan down because you hate leaving anything unfinished . [ scene_break ] sonny : leaving 's not gon na change how you feel . brenda : i can choose to not act on my feelings . sonny : why deny what 's part of you ? we 're feeling it right now . 7 years ago . it 's stronger now . brenda : no , no . this is exactly why i could n't come back to port charles . it 's gon na be too painful for me . sonny : why does it have to be painful ? brenda : because i know we ca n't be together . sonny : years ago we could n't be together because there were obstacles in front of us . now those obstacles are gone . maybe , maybe we can get it right this time . [ scene_break ] jason : michael struggles every day with what happened to him in prison . he 's afraid of his capacity for violence . because of the moves i taught him , he 's already lashed out at a few people without even thinking . sam : exactly . and michael does n't want to do that to a girl that he likes . he 's trying to do the right thing . jason : i just do n't think hiring a girl is the answer . sam : jason , it might take the pressure off . jason : yeah , but it 's not gon na erase the hell that he 's been through or make it any easier for him to be around a girl his own age . sam : michael is definitely not ready to jump into a normal relationship , and he knows it . he 's not even ready to go see a shrink for what happened in pentonville . maybe , just maybe , it might be better for him to go with a woman with experience who could be gentle and caring , rather than a teenage girl who 's gon na be just as inexperienced and nervous as he is . imagine if ali pushed the wrong button . jason : i think she already did once . sam : okay . well , if michael is struggling with this already , can you imagine if something sexual happened ? ali would get upset and michael would feel horrible . jason : i just think he needs to take it slow , that 's all . just slow . sam : yes , jason , but he 's asking for your help . and if you do n't , he 's going on his own . jason : no , i do n't . no . think this whole thing 's his idea . sam : i know this girl . her name is candy . i worked with her undercover . she 's going to college , she 's trying to do the right thing . jason , she just may be the perfect girl for michael . [ scene_break ] patrick : giving up on our marriage is n't fair to anyone . especially emma . robin : plenty of kids grow up with divorced parents , and they still feel loved and supported . i mean , i 'm one of them . patrick : you 're parents are a special case . robin : every divorce is a special case according to that person . we have to face the truth , you know . we just do n't make each other happy . patrick : come on , robin , that 's just not true . we 've been very happy . i know we can be happy again . robin : how ? how is that supposed to happen when i 'm walking on eggshells , wondering the next time that you 're gon na look at another woman , or , you know , worrying about you when you 're supposedly working late at the hospital . patrick : i have to regain your trust . robin , i understand that . robin : but i just do n't see how that is possible . patrick : marriage is difficult , and divorce is a last resort . and i honestly , i do n't think we 're there yet . robin : patrick , i 've known that you slept with lisa for weeks , and i just ca n't get past it . i ca n't . patrick : robin , you 're not a quitter . we can go to couples therapy . we can -- robin : therapy is n't gon na change who you are . patrick : i 'll go to therapy . i 'll figure out why i blow my world apart , why i sabotaged everything that 's good -- you and our marriage . robin : you do n't have to do that unless you want to do it for yourself . patrick : i 'll do whatever i have to in order to get you back . i do n't want to be without you . you and emma are everything to me . and i 'll do whatever it takes . robin : but what if the only way to save what 's good is by letting go ? [ scene_break ] sonny : come here . i 'm not gon na hurt you . brenda : it 's not your fault . sonny : no . brenda : i 'm sorry . i realize now it 's not your fault . it 's my fault . i know that you loved me the best that you could . sonny : you loved me , too . brenda : yeah , but i was crazy . i was so crazy . i was desperate and needy with you and i did stupid things . i just do n't want to be that way again . i do n't want to ever be that way . sonny : people do stupid things when they 're young . you know , they do n't know any better . we 're adults now . brenda : you were too overwhelming for me . i lose myself in you . i just ca n't . i ca n't . sonny : but just ... brenda : i 'm sorry , i ca n't . [ scene_break ] robin : remember that time upstairs when i yelled at you in front of everyone at the hospital ? patrick : yeah . you were justified . robin : it does n't matter . i do n't want to feel that way ever , ever again . patrick : you wo n't . not on my account . robin : you sleeping with lisa and how i reacted , it brought out the worst in both of us . you know , emma 's still a baby . she does n't understand what 's going on right now . and i will not risk an upheaval in her life as she grows up . patrick : robin , you 're not giving me a chance here . robin : putting you in a position where you have to be faithful is setting us both up for failure . you 're a wonderful dad , and i am so grateful for that , you know . i mean , as parents , we do bring out the best in each other . and i really believe that with a little time and with some distance that we can be amicable exes , maybe even the best of friends . patrick : i do n't want to be your friend . i want to be your partner , your lover , your husband , everything that includes . i made mistakes , but it does n't have to destroy us , it could make us stronger . robin : being apart will make us stronger . i mean , look at my parents . they get along great . patrick : robin , i 'm not talking about your parents , i 'm talking about us . me and you . we have a chance to be happy for the rest of our lives . [ scene_break ] claire : true , very true , we may have left the island behind , but we can make port charles our own tropical paradise . you 've been drinking champagne . sonny : you want some ? claire : no , thank you . i brought these to remind you of the island . sonny : that 's beautiful . claire : yeah . impulse buy . there was a flower stand at the market where i bought the beer , and i just thought it would be spontaneous , whimsical . sonny : i 'm glad you 're here . there 's something i got ta ... there 's something important i got ta tell you . claire : about whoever 's lipstick is on that glass ? sorry . you know , it 's just a curse of just being a federal prosecutor . we have an obsessive eye for detail . just the tiniest piece of evidence , that can change everything . you and someone were drinking champagne . and that implies a celebration . sonny : remember that woman you asked me about , brenda barrett ? she was out of the country . she came back to port charles . and as much as i really ... i 'm not gon na ... i 'm gon na be honest with you . i ca n't -- i ca n't ... it would n't be fair for me to go on seeing you .

[ scene_break ] brenda : what ? jason : i can not deal with you right now . brenda : okay , i saw sonny . the reason why i wanted to go see sonny was because i wanted to tell him myself that i am here in port charles and that i am going to avoid him for all the right reasons . and then he starts saying to me that he thinks that we should -- it does n't matter . listen , you need to keep me away from him . jason : you can keep yourself away from him or not . i do n't care . brenda : it 's not that easy . jason : no , i have other things to deal with right now that are more important . brenda : i did n't want to come here . you 're the one who made me come here . so i 'm just asking you as my friend to please keep me from blowing my life apart .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i saw brenda briefly weeks ago . claire : you know , you really should n't be telling me this . sonny : i want you to know everything . claire : you know , as i understand it , ms. barrett resides in rome . so if you were there a few weeks ago , that would mean you were in violation of the terms of the bail agreement . sonny : do not get professional . claire : i 'm just advising you not to incriminate yourself . sonny : okay , but i 'm just saying to you that if you want to press charges on me now for something that , you know , it does n't make any sense . it 's useless . just listen , okay ? claire : fine . you were illegally in rome . and you saw brenda . sonny : i saw brenda , yeah , in rome . and then she told me she was engaged . we said our good - byes . and i thought that was the end of it . claire : you thought wrong ? sonny : after the trip , i came in here , brenda was here . i saw her , we started talking , and i knew that i had to be honest with you . brenda and i , we have this kind of thing , you know . we love each other off and on . i know the timing is terrible , but i want to be with her .

[ dante gasping ] [ scene_break ] luke : well , that was a low blow . if you had dropped that rock any further down , you could have done permanent damage to the goods . tracy : you 're lucky i did n't lock you in the sauna . what are you doing here ? luke : i 'm home . tracy : home is wherever you find your next bottle . luke : i quit . tracy : you quit rehab after 15 minutes . luke : i quit drinking . tracy : luke , do you expect me to believe that ? luke : i have n't had a drop to drink in over a month . tracy : oh , luke , luke , luke , luke ! lemonade ? ! luke : no , it 's scotch . but if you look closely , you 'll see that it has n't been opened . it 's completely full . i carry it as a test . i 've had nary a drop . look at this physique if you doubt me . tracy : it 's the same physique that left here . you smell a little different -- less booze , more dust . when 's the last time you bathed ? luke : this is great . i 'm so happy to see you . i come back all excited . i have great news , and all you can say is i smell like dust . when was the last time i bathed ? tracy : luke ... if you expect me or your children to throw a parade in your honor ... do n't hold your breath . [ scene_break ] lulu : he 's -- he 's having trouble breathing . [ monitor beeping ] steve : all right , janine , turn off the alarm , please . dante 's tachycardic . i can get him stabilized . i 'll just need you to take lulu and wait outside . i got this . olivia : okay . lulu : i do n't know what happened . he was trying to propose to me , and then all of a sudden he was hyperventilating . olivia : it 's okay . it 's okay . honey , he 's gon na be okay . he 's gon na be all right . he 's gon na be all right . lulu : how do you know that ? olivia : i know because i have faith in my son . this is just another test , and he 's gon na pass it with flying colors . honey , you two are gon na get married . you 're gon na settle down . you 're gon na have something real , something permanent , okay ? trust me . think of all the joy that you two are gon na bring each other , okay ? just think of that . think of all the laundry that i 'm not gon na have to do for him anymore , right ? lulu : yeah , or me laundry , that 's -- olivia : no , honey , honey , you 're gon na be great . you 're gon na be great . you know what ? you know what ? i always wondered if dante found the right girl , if he might settle down , stop taking all these crazy risks that he takes , like the thing that he did last night , right ? it 's just like he 's so damned determined to prove to everyone that he 's a good cop that -- that he 's not trying to protect sonny . lulu : do you ever regret that he became a police officer ? [ scene_break ] ronnie : you 're abby , right ? mind if i ask you a few questions ? abby : without my lawyer ? ronnie : padilla , do me a favor . hook me up with some coffee . black , two sugars . you know , when people start asking about lawyers , it makes me think they might have something to hide . abby : well , you 've been known to be wrong before , detective . ronnie : yeah , but something just is n't adding up here , right ? i mean , first , look , we got michael . sonny 's son , ex - con , your boyfriend , uh , managing sonny 's coffee warehouse , working with a security guy who could make a bomb real fast . abby : what -- what are you asking me ? ronnie : you 're michael 's girl , right ? i mean , you 're always on his arm . you 're in a perfect position to hear a lot of things . abby : i do n't know anything . ronnie : well , you 're sitting real pretty right now , are n't you ... candy ? that 's a real catchy stripper name , by the way . candy . you mind if i call you that from now on ? see , what you do n't realize is this free ride you 've been on , it 's about to come to an end . okay ? and you 'll be back working your magic in the pole . so you 're gon na need somebody like me in your corner . so , why do n't we try this again , okay ? only this time , you actually cooperate . sound like a plan ? [ scene_break ] shawn : i was just about to explain what really happened . sonny : it seems pretty obvious . shawn : but i did n't want to say anything in front of michael . carly : 'cause you wanted to protect him . michael : mom , i 'm not 10 . it 's not like i do n't think you have sex . carly : watch it . sonny : you should just be more discreet next time . carly : do n't go there with me , okay ? and , michael , i need you to leave . i want to talk to your dad . michael : gladly . shawn : i 'm sorry it made michael uncomfortable to see what he thinks he saw . carly : listen to me and hear me out . it is none of your business who i have sex with . [ scene_break ] tracy : you 're in for a rude awakening . luke : fine . wake me up . tracy : lucky came to you with his heart in his hands , ready to forgive you after you hit jake . luke : i did n't want lucky 's forgiveness . tracy : so your response is to tell him you do n't want to be his father anymore ? luke : i wanted him to hate me as much as i hated myself . [ tracy sighs ] luke : i wanted to set him free . it was the best gift i had to give him at the time . tracy : mm , because nothing says `` i love you `` like `` i do n't want to be in your life anymore . `` look , luke , even if what you 're claiming is true and you have stopped drinking , it is too little too late . i know what you 're gon na say . luke spencer did not hit that child because he was drunk and impaired . anybody on the road that night could have hit him . but it was n't anybody on the road . it was you , luke ! and you had been drinking ! luke : in my current freakishly lucid state , i 'm well aware of the damage that i 've done . i 've done a lot of thinking . i 've done a lot of mental housekeeping . and i think , maybe , i 'm ready to deal with things now . what i do n't hear here is some kind of wifely support . tracy : that department is closed . it 's been closed for a long time . and if you need money ... have n't got any . how about sympathy ? fresh out of that , too . oh , do n't even . luke : if i were a different kind of guy , i might suspect that somebody has taken my place while i was away . [ scene_break ] anthony : i 'll grant you this about shooting dante . business could get awkward . but keep in mind , i 'm the one who helped sonny 's daughter when she passed out on the , uh , docks . johnny : right , so one should cancel out the other ? anthony : it 's all about balance , john . god knows how much you love balance . johnny : yeah , every shred of balance i ever had in my life is gone now , thanks to you . what the hell 's with these keys anyway ? anthony : they 're for hotel rooms i have on reserve for special occasions . and i 'm definitely gon na need something special for this partic -- the honeymoon suite at the metro court -- perfect . johnny : what the hell are you up to ? anthony : i got a life , john . you ought to try it sometime . i 'll tell you something , kid . if you really want balance , you need to go find yourself a good woman . [ scene_break ] abby : carly forgot her wedding gift at the warehouse . michael 's car was almost out of gas , so all three of us went over there together . carly walked in and found dante . ronnie : you and carly . abby : michael was there , too . i called 911 , and then michael went to get help . ronnie : in that order , or did michael go get help first ? and -- and help with what ? abby : you 'd have to ask michael that . ronnie : you know , they got you trained real good . wow . it 's the first step . abby : no , i just know my rights , okay ? i am getting certified to be a paralegal , and this is borderline harassment . ronnie : wow . candy the stripping paralegal . that is very impressive . you know , but if i were you , i would hold on to your sugar daddy . actually , in michael 's case , your sugar baby . abby : what is that supposed to mean ? ronnie : you know , michael could get shot again ... or end up back in prison . he 's not his father , you know . he does n't have those same kind of , like , survival instincts , not even close . abby : i 'm sorry . are you saying that you know michael ? 'cause that 's a joke . ronnie : if you cared about michael like you said you do , then you should probably waive some of those rights ... put yourself in a position to help him . see , because we both know what happens to sonny 's kids when they rely on their father . [ footsteps approaching ] delores : black , two sugars . ronnie : yeah . just in time for us to leave . you 're a smart girl . think about what i said . [ scene_break ] michael : bernie , it 's michael . look , i want to make sure you do n't call jason and interrupt his honeymoon , but did he have some kind of a backup plan in place in case things did n't work out with shawn butler ? [ scene_break ] sonny : the bodyguard ? carly : bodyguards are an everyday part of my life . you made sure of that . sonny : yeah , but it does n't mean you get to sleep with them . you got think about the time and the place . obviously , you 're trying to make a point to me . and you , being mr. professional , you got -- you ca n't mix business with pleasure . you know that . carly : you are delusional thinking that i was trying to make a point to you , after everything you 've put me through , especially sleeping with shawn . shawn : we did n't do -- what , what , what ? sonny : okay , oh , so now you 're unprofessional . you 're also denying that you took advantage of the poor lady ? shawn : i did n't take advantage of anything ! carly : and he 's not unprofessional ! and you to accuse anyone of taking advantage is just insane ! shawn : hey , hey , just hold up a damn minute here ! [ scene_break ] johnny : how about you just be straight with me and tell me what the hell 's going on , huh ? anthony : i 'm not gon na apologize for saving your life . the guy had a gun aimed at your back , so i shot him before i knew it was sonny 's son . johnny : would you have thought twice had you known ? anthony : what kind of a question is that ? of course not . i protect my own ... just like sonny protects his own . anyway , it was n't my idea to be in that warehouse . it was yours . johnny : and it was your drugs . anthony : and i 'm sure they 're at the bottom of the harbor by now . we both know how sonny feels about that stuff . the clean king of port charles . what a joke . it 's over , john . let it be over . johnny : wow . for once , you and sonny actually agree on something . you know , he came to me , wanting to extend that truce . anthony : there you go . you 've got your beloved balance . johnny : oh , god , you are so annoying sometimes . anthony : ca n't you just be happy ? enjoy yourself . go play some of your gloomy music on the piano and crack open a cold one . and i 'll have you know ... that first shipment paid for that beauty . personally , i 'm ready to put all this behind me and move on to other pursuits . i 'll catch you later , kid . [ scene_break ] shawn : i 'm here to do my job , and we are straying way off point . carly and i having sex ? it 's a nonissue . look , it worked as a nice cover - up for the cops and for michael . it 's better to let them think we 're rolling around in coffee beans than stashing away seven bags of hydrocodone in your panic room , which is what we were really doing . sonny : `` we `` ? so you were moving the drugs with him ? carly : yeah , it was either that or waste valuable time that could have gotten michael implicated if the police found us . shawn : look , the cops were about to search the place . i was able to stall them for a little while with the bomb , and carly knew about the panic room . so we moved the drugs in there . carly : and we got locked in . sonny : i 'm sure you did . shawn : look , we could n't risk trying to open the door and get busted with the drugs . we stashed them in the air duct , which cut off the air circulation , made the room get hot . carly : very hot . sonny : okay . how 'd you get out ? carly : i few hours later , i suddenly found myself pressed up against the button . sonny : so , y - you 're telling me that i have a warehouse full of drugs now ? shawn : no . you have a panic room with drugs stashed in the air duct . now we 've just got to get them out and dump them . sonny : no , nobody 's doing anything , 'cause you 're fired . [ scene_break ] olivia : i am so proud of what my son does for a living . you know ? now , that said , i am -- i am concerned that coming out of this thing , he 's gon na be more determined than ever to take sonny down , and we both know what happened the last time he tried to do that . lulu : yeah , it 's scarily similar to what he 's dealing with right now . olivia : you know , he had the best role model growing up . i 'm sure he told you about lieutenant poletti , rest his soul . that guy ... steered him away from all the other bad things that the kids in the neighborhood were getting into , all that crap that pulled sonny in all those years ago . and the irony is ... it was poletti 's death on sonny 's orders that made dante decide to be a cop in the first place . lulu : i know that i ca n't change dante . olivia : and you would n't want to . honey , relationships do n't work that way . you know , we both want dante to be dante , only safe . lulu : yeah . olivia : yeah . steve : we were able to stabilize him . olivia : okay . now , do you think this was an isolated incident , or is it a sign of something worse ? steve : it 's too early to say . i just -- it 's highly likely it was a one - time thing , but we got it under control . lulu : thank you . steve : dante 's anxious to see you . i bet you 'd like to get back in there , too . olivia : go . steve : just not too long . lulu : okay . steve : all right ? [ scene_break ] dante : hey . sorry about that . it was a little hiccup . [ lulu laughs ] dante : where were we ? lulu : you scared me . you okay ? dante : yeah , i 'm fine . you gon na give me that answer or what ? i do n't know how long we got before these alarms go off again . oh , hey , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . it was a bad joke . i 'm scared , too . not so much about this , but about this . i feel like my proposal 's just been ... hanging in the air for days . i ca n't promise you bad things are n't gon na happen . but i can promise you that i will love you ... no matter what comes our way , always and with everything i got . come on . say you 'll marry me . yeah ? lulu : yeah . on one condition . [ scene_break ] tracy : i just ca n't imagine finding anybody ... debauched , conniving , and self- centered to fill the void you left . luke : oh , we 're out there . tracy : you waltz in here and expect us all to bathe in the golden glow of your presence . luke : something like that , yeah . tracy : one problem . that glow has become radioactive . you chose the nuclear option . you destroyed every single connection to every single person in your life . congratulations ! job well done ! mission accomplished ! the problem is , it was a one - way mission . there is no coming home . luke : when you put it like that , i just might take it as a challenge . tracy : take it any way you like . just take it out the door . there is no place in your kids ' lives anymore . there is certainly no place in mine . ethan is through defending you , and lulu -- luke : what about lulu ? tracy : oh , my goodness . lulu was so desperate ... desperate for your love and approval , she almost lost the one thing that meant anything to her . luke : dante ? you on his bandwagon now ? tracy : leave your daughter alone . do n't take this away from her . [ scene_break ] dante : wait . one condition ? okay . what , no more `` sportscenter `` at 5 : 00 in the morning ? um ... socks . i 'll wash my own socks . flowers every day for a year . lulu : i do n't want anyone to know . dante : i 'm not that ugly . [ lulu laughs ] dante : why not ? lulu : because you had part of your lung taken out , and i do n't want every well - intentioned friend and family member bothering you . you need to focus on resting and relaxing . this is for us , okay ? so ... that 's my one condition . and i 'm saying yes . dante : what about my mother ? lulu : yes , you can tell your mom , but she can be the only one who knows and we have to swear her to secrecy . dante : oh , great . great , so that 's ... successfully concluded this negotiation , and that 's a yes . lulu : it 's a yes . dante : i 'm so relieved . i hope you brought the ring . i was really -- i was really looking forward to this part . ah . i love you . i can beat anything ... knowing i got you by my side ... for good . [ scene_break ] abby : michael , i really need to talk to you . ronnie just cornered me and was asking me a bunch of questions . i mean , i - i 'm okay , but , i just -- just call me as soon as you get this , okay ? johnny : hey . abby : hey . johnny : i saw you through the window . i just wanted to stop by and say hello . [ abby laughs ] johnny : are -- are you here with somebody ? abby : no . well , i mean , i was . you know what ? i would love to stay and catch up , but i actually got to take off right now . i just -- i have a meeting , so ... johnny : really ? is something wrong ? abby : no . why ? johnny : well , you 're not looking at me in the eye very much . that 's one thing . and ... your palms , they always get sweaty when you get nervous . let me guess . you think i 'm behind this whole dante shooting , too , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] shawn : we 've been over this . jason hired me , not you . sonny : but jason 's on his honeymoon , so i ca n't really tell him what 's going on . but this is my organization , which means i get to do what i want to do . i 'm telling you i do n't want you working for me or anybody associated with me . carly : meaning me . sonny : look , carly , you know what ? you do whatever , whoever , you want to do . but it 's -- that 's your life . this is my business . carly : shawn saved your ass and he probably saved michael from going back to prison , and you thank him by firing him ? sonny : how do i know he did n't plant the drugs , he did n't set me up ? carly : that 's a bunch of garbage , and you know it ! sonny : he 's a gun for hire . how do i know he 's not working for the zaccharas ? he was working for that idiot hoffman before jason h -- carly : when you were wallowing around in your pain because brenda walked out on you and you were destroying your life , shawn stepped up to the plate , and now you 're gon na do this to him ? ! sonny : that 's a pretty passionate defense . whatever you 're doing ... it 's got to be working . carly : go to hell , sonny . sonny : look , you know he 's working you 'cause he 's good at it . and obviously , he 's getting under your skin ! the one who 's not thinking clearly here ... is you . carly : sonny , you need to get over yourself and realize you 're making a big mistake . shawn has more than proved himself to be valuable to you and jason , who handpicked shawn to fill in for him . he did it for a reason . shawn : no , no , no , that 's okay . you do n't need to defend me . there 's really nothing to defend . you 've got seven bags of bad stuff in your panic room . you want me to handle it , i will . if not , i suggest you get rid of them as soon as possible . you let me know . [ door opens ] carly : hey . well , you certainly went out of your way denying sleeping with me . shawn : look , i have no interest in getting sucked in whatever it is you and sonny call your relationship . carly : that 's fine . you just did n't have to make it sound like the actual act would be a fate worse than death . [ scene_break ] michael : look ... if there 's something going on in the warehouse i should n't know about , you do n't have to tell me , okay ? but at least give me credit for figuring out that something was off and handling the situation . sonny : michael , you did good . that 's why i need you to take some time off so i can handle this . michael : okay . i need to tell you something first . sonny : what ? michael : i have some information that might help you confirm who 's behind this . [ scene_break ] johnny : i 've always been straight with you . abby : you have . i 'm worried about michael . johnny : why ? did dante get worse ? abby : no . i - i mean , he 's definitely worried about his brother . but it 's not that . you should be careful . johnny : me ? why ? abby : people are very upset right now . i mean , michael is really upset about dante , and he tends to react without thinking when he gets upset . johnny : yeah , but what does that have to do with me ? they think i did this ? should i be worried someone 's coming after me ? abby : michael would never take that on himself . johnny : but sonny would . abby : you know what ? just forget that i said anything . johnny : no , no , no . it 's really not about what you said , abby . it 's more of what you did n't say . that whole talk that i had with sonny about keeping the peace , it was just garbage , right ? a setup ? you know , never mind . i 'm sorry . i do n't want you to get any more involved than you already are . abby : i - i should n't have said anything . johnny : no , it 's okay . you actually did the right thing . and i 'm glad that you did because now i can prepare and hopefully control any outcome ... and protect you and michael in the process . you do believe that that 's what i want , do n't you ? abby : i want to . [ scene_break ] lulu : olivia ? you can come . dante : ma , we got some news for you , but you got to keep it on the -- olivia : oh , my god ! you did ! oh , it 's beautiful ! lulu : thank you . olivia : congratulations ! lulu : thank you . wait . but actually , before you start going crazy , there 's something that you need to know . olivia : this is officially the happiest day of my life , other than the day that i brought you into this world after exactly 36 hours of labor . okay , okay , what ? what is it ? what do i need to know ? lulu : um ... we 've decided to keep this between us for now . dante : it 's a secret . olivia : what ? lulu : well , dante has to focus on recovery , and that was my one condition for saying yes . olivia : okay . okay , okay . i get it , i guess . i mean , it 's just there 's always so much bad news to share , and then there 's never enough good news , and this is just ... this is just the best . you guys , look how happy you two are . [ lulu laughs ] olivia : i am so proud ... of the commitment that you guys are making . lulu : uh ... so , i 'm gon na go get the insurance stuff that they keep hounding me about . olivia : okay . dante : and , uh ... some food . lulu : why ? are you hungry ? dante : not for me , for you . you have n't eaten anything today . olivia : look at this . he 's stealing my best material . lulu : oh . [ olivia laughs ] lulu : my fiancé can be so overbearing . dante : i like the sound of that . `` future husband . `` lulu : okay . um ... i 'm gon na be back soon . olivia : okay . lulu : this is , uh ... all gon na stay in this room ? olivia : yes . lulu : okay . olivia : you got it . yeah .

[ chuckles ] dante : you know it 's funny . we 've -- we 've told each other we love each other so many ... different ways , and ... until she actually said the words that she was gon na marry me ... now it feels real . [ scene_break ] tracy : i am not going to bother telling your kids that you 're back because you might not be by the time the words are out of my mouth . luke : i 've got some groveling to do . is that what you 're saying ? tracy : what i 'm saying is that we 've all adjusted to life without you , luke , and some would argue that things are a lot better . luke : if you really felt that way , you would have found a way to divorce me . i 've received no paperwork . tracy : maybe you ought to check your mailbox . could be buried underneath the stack of unpaid bills . i do n't give a damn about our marriage . it 's over . paperwork or no paperwork . luke : that 's a lot of tough talk , missy . i still know your sweet spot . tracy : no , you do n't . [ door closes ] [ door opens ] [ door closes ] tracy : please do n't . it 's not gon na do any good . anthony : well , you ca n't blame a guy for trying , can you ? [ scene_break ] shawn : what are you looking for here , carly ? carly : maybe you could act like i 'm an attractive woman . shawn : you know , attractive women usually know they 're attractive and been treated differently all of their lives because of it . carly : well , what about attractive men ? shawn : not exactly my area of expertise . carly : so ... are you saying you would n't sleep with me ? shawn : am i being propositioned here ? these really are n't the circumstances under which i 'd consider -- carly : okay , well , let 's just pretend they 're perfect circumstances . would you sleep with me ? and that 's what i thought . [ scene_break ] michael : people are always talking about drugs being run through our territory and how they assume you 'll shut it down . look , i 'd say most of our men think it 's the zaccharas . sonny : that 's why i need you to take some time off , because i know it was johnny who planted the drugs to set me up . and he may not have pulled the trigger , but he 's the reason your brother is in the hospital . and things like that have to be answered for . [ scene_break ] johnny : fisk , thanks for getting here so quickly . fisk : no problem . so ... what can i do for you ? johnny : well , it turns out that whole peace talk that i had with sonny was just that -- a bunch of talk . so , i 'm gon na need you to make sure michael stays out of the picture . fisk : you got it . what about sonny ? johnny : you focus on michael . i 'll handle sonny . [ scene_break ] tracy : i am really not in the mood for this right now . anthony : give me a shot . i guarantee you , i can take your mind off whatever 's troubling you , get you right back in the mood . tracy : okay . it 's my husband . luke . he 's home . anthony : he 's decided to show his face again . he 's got some cojones , that guy . tracy : that 's one way of putting it . anthony : eh , husbands come , husbands go , especially with you , right ? tracy : well , luke claims that he 's home for good and that he 's gon na repair all the damage he 's done . anthony : well , some damages are n't easily repaired . tracy : i agree . but to tell you the truth ... despite everything , i , uh ... i guess i still love him and i 'm gon na ... stand by him and support him . and i know that it would destroy him if he ... thought that i was being unfaithful to him . and i ca n't risk the possibility of destroying all the good that he 's doing himself and his children . i 'm so sorry . this changes everything for me . anthony : well , it does n't change anything for me or for our deal . the price of my silence is still a night of passion . i even got us a room at the metro -- the honeymoon suite . words can not express how much i 'm looking forward to this . and do n't forget -- i 'm a cuddler . [ scene_break ] olivia : he 's gon na pull through this . lulu : yep . olivia : he is too strong and he loves you too much not to . [ lulu cries ] olivia : and then you can say yes , and you kids can start a beautiful life together . dante : i am a good investment . that 's what i want . i want -- i want us to invest in each other . 'cause i want you in my life . not just sharing an apartment or a stupid nameplate . i ... want us to share a real future together . singer : you call me with a simple smile it 's here with you i want to live i want to stay lost we are in the midst of a stolen moment the world goes on as we stand still together lost we are in the midst of a stolen moment

[ knock on door ] dante : port charles police . open up . joe jr. : [ grunts ] you have to hide me . tracy : why are you acting like a fugitive ? dante : tracy , it 's dante falconeri ! tracy : tell him sonny shot you . joe jr. : no , please , please . sonny 's too powerful . he 'll find a way to frame me . dante : you may be a material witness to an investigation . i need you to open the door right now . joe jr. : tracy , please -- you have to hide me . [ pounding on door ] dante : tracy , open up ! olivia : i thought we 'd be dancing at kate 's wedding by now and toasting her and sonny with $ 500 bottles of champagne . steve : what , you do n't like chicken kebabs and falafel ? i used to live on this stuff in med school . olivia : you really are a hopeless romantic , are n't you ? steve : yeah , well , despite the fact that my mother escaped from ferncliff -- olivia : please , honey , do n't remind me of that , please . steve : hey . this morning , all i could think about was how lucky we are . i mean , after all we 've been through , we deserved a day with our friends and family . olivia : yeah . steve : and i could n't wait to celebrate with you . olivia : me too . and now all i 'm gon na be doing is just worrying about my cousin and wondering what the hell is gon na happen to her now that connie 's back . steve : i 'm so sorry i did n't believe you when you told me kate had a relapse . olivia : no , you had good reason to doubt me , what with all my magical mystery tours . steve : yeah , but still , i should have taken you seriously . if i had , i might have been able to prevent this fiasco of a wedding . [ ring clinks ] alexis : i take it the evening did n't get any better after we left . [ sighs ] are you okay ? sonny : what do you think ? my bride married somebody else . connie : man , this is good . you want some ? mm . sonny really knows how to pick out champagne , huh ? we should have grabbed the whole case . it 's not like he 'll be celebrating . [ chuckles ] hey ! johnny : what ? connie : are n't you gon na carry me over the threshold ? [ door slams ] connie : now that i have your attention , lose the attitude , johnny . or i 'm gon na send your little butt to the slammer . carly : what kind of friend let 's me stay with a guy who 's cheating on me ? todd : look , i tried -- carly : no , you did n't ! no , you did n't ! there were tons of insults and stupid comments , but you never told me ! you were never going to tell me ! todd : okay , carly , you need to calm down . carly : no , i almost trusted you , todd ! how could you do this to me ? how could you not tell me about connie and johnny ? todd : it 's not like johnny and i are pals , you know ? we do n't sit around braiding one another 's hair and talking about who we like . carly : no , i get you loathe each other , okay ? todd : loathe and detest . carly : but it did n't stop you guys from huddling around , and it was n't about the mob money . you knew what was going on the whole time . todd : carly , i -- carly : stop ! and do n't . because i have been swallowing johnny 's lies for months . is it your turn to stand here and play me for the fool ? todd : i do n't think you 're a fool . carly : then tell me what 's going on . tell me the truth ! todd : the truth is , i 've known about connie and johnny all along . michael : you 're as much to blame for this as your father . kristina : trey had no idea what his dad was doing . he stopped him . michael : yeah , i heard the whole thing from dante . kristina : then you know , michael ! he stood in front of me ! he said his dad would have to shoot him first ! michael : he was manipulating you like he always does ! kristina : by shooting his own dad ? trey did n't want to hurt his dad but he did to save me . please , michael -- please let him go . michael : i 'm not letting him go . hey , hey , hey , you idiots ! come on . enough of this . easy , easy , easy ! settle down , hot shot . calm down , all right ? michael : dante told me that scully ran away . kristina : he did . michael : yeah , and i 'm guessing you have no idea where he went , do you ? trey : i wish . i wanted to get an ambulance for my dad , but he would n't let me . for all i know , he 's out there , bleeding to death somewhere . michael : yeah , or he 's looking for someone else to kill . tracy : what are you doing here so late ? dante : official business , i 'm afraid . tracy : has something happened to a member of my family ? dante : no . tracy : then why are you here ? dante : i 'm looking for someone -- joe scully jr. have you seen him ? tracy : i do n't know who that is . dante : does that help ? tracy : ca n't say that it does . dante : i have a witness who saw joe scully jr . in this house with you not too long ago . tracy : well , maybe your witness has -- an ulterior motive . dante : and perhaps you 're covering for mr. scully , as he 's known to be a friend of yours . olivia : do you have any idea what it 's like to not be able to trust what you 're seeing with your own eyes ? steve : that 's got to be horrible , i 'm sure . olivia : i -- i know that my cousin is not having her best day , but she had one thing right -- i got a standing reservation at the looney bin . steve : hey , hey , hey . you ca n't listen to connie . she -- she was lashing out , trying to protect herself . olivia : i would give anything right now to go before a judge and be able to petition for connie to get committed so that kate has some chance of getting the help that she needs , maybe getting her life back . steve : well , maybe alexis can orchestrate that or make -- olivia : seriously , what judge is gon na appoint me guardian of my cousin when my own sanity is in question ? i -- i do n't trust myself . i do n't know what 's real and what is n't . steve : just have to give it time , honey . olivia : that 's one thing -- time is one thing that kate does not have . sonny and alexis are gon na have to find some other way to get connie under a doctor 's care , get rid of her for good . alexis : i am so sorry about everything . sonny : it 's not your fault . alexis : well , that does n't make me feel any better . so , what happened after we left ? sonny : well , i tried to get through to kate , and for a second , i thought i did , and then connie was just playing me . so no kate . sonny : you know what ? this whole thing about taking the ceremony to the altar and announcing in public that she was married to johnny , it was connie 's way to jerk me around . for whatever reason , she hates me . and the feeling 's mutual . alexis : i do n't know that that 's entirely healthy . sonny : hating an aspect of kate 's personality ? maybe not , but the truth is , if connie keeps saying , you know -- `` you 've lost kate forever , `` she walks out of here with johnny , right ? it took every -- you know me . it took everything in me not to want to strangle that bastard . alexis : and i admire your restraint . i 'm sorry . i know how difficult this is for you . sonny : you told me you were gon na find a way to have connie legally committed . tell me you figured that out . connie : the stakes are very high for you , johnny . you keep me happy , you stay free . you piss me off , you serve a life sentence . so i think you should do as i say . johnny : fine . you want to be carried over the threshold , let 's do it . come on . connie : i can live without it , just as long as you remember that you 're my husband when it counts . johnny : i backed you at that ceremony . and you had the joy of rubbing carly 's face in our supposed affair . have n't you had enough fun for an evening ? connie : that was fun . but humiliating carly was just the opening act . i 'm all about the main event . johnny : what 's that ? sonny ? connie : mm . well , kate got shot at their first wedding . only fair that sonny get demolished at his . this is my wedding night . this is your first one , too , right ? johnny : wow . ca n't say i ever dreamed of this . connie : hey , hey ! do n't knock it ! we got everything we need . we got a blushing bride , eager groom . we are the picture of wedded bliss . so why do n't we go up into your bed and make this marriage official ? carly : so , all this time , you 've known about connie and johnny and you did n't tell me . i thought you were my friend . todd : i , uh -- i - i did n't think it would get -- this far . carly : when ? todd : `` when `` ? carly : when did you find out that my boyfriend was cheating on me ? todd : you know the camera that i had set up at the haunted star ? carly : the one where you saw johnny and i having sex ? todd : i saw connie and johnny going at it . tracy : oh , you mean joseph . i 'm sorry . you confused me with -- dante : tracy , have you seen him ? tracy : well , of course . he 's our antique dealer . we 're redoing the east wing . dante : joe jr. 's not gon na be much help with that , especially since sonny already told you who he really is . tracy : your father made outrageous accusations about an innocent man . dante : tracy , do you know the whereabouts of joe scully jr. ? tracy : you first . why are you looking for him ? dante : he tried to kill my sister . michael : you know your supposed husband here is worried about his father , who kidnapped you and tried to kill you ! trey : look , i hate what he did to kristina , but he 's still my father . kristina : how can you judge trey ? look at everything our dad does . michael : dad never tried to pull a gun on my girlfriend . kristina : do n't act dumb . you know -- you know the horrible things dad does . and if he was her , we 'd be worried about him just like trey is . michael : krissy , i 'm not gon na fight with you , okay ? you 've been through enough . trey : does that mean i get to live ? michael : shut the hell up . kristina : please do n't start this all over . trey : okay , but only for your sake . kristina : i just want to think about something else . [ sniffles ] h - how 's dad doing ? trey : and kate . huh ? dante told us how kate 's alter , connie , came out at the wedding . michael : yeah , too bad your camera crew was n't there , right ? trey : you know , actually , i was asking 'cause kate 's my mother . michael : yeah , i know . kristina : and you did n't tell me ? michael : dad and i figured it out a couple days ago . but the bigger question is , why did n't trey tell us about it first ? sonny : connie is too strong . you understand ? kate can not beat her , so she has to go to shadybrook so the doctors can help her . alexis : right . but only someone from her immediate family can have her committed . sonny : right , which would have been me if johnny had n't married her first . alexis : i 'm afraid you have no legal standing in this situation . sonny : what about olivia ? alexis : olivia ? even if we can convince a judge that her wishes should trump johnny 's , she has her own issues with mental health . sonny : you saw her today . she seemed fine . alexis : and by her own admission , she said that she 's still having hallucinations , that she ca n't distinguish between what 's real and what is n't . there 's no way a judge is gon na give her authority over the situation . i 'm sorry . sonny : no , do n't apologize . just figure out a way to fix it . alexis : i would if i could , and you know that . sonny : yeah . alexis : you know how much i hate to admit this , but i 'm at a loss here because kate has protected herself from legal intervention . she knew exactly what she was doing when she married johnny . johnny : i married you for one reason and one reason only -- blackmail . that 's it . connie : hey , you 're acting like this is my fault , johnny . if you had n't killed those two people on the side of the road , you would n't be in this mess . johnny : it was an accident . okay ? and if you did n't have that to hold over my head , you would n't be here . you 'd be in shadybrook where you belong . connie : why are you so grumpy , huh ? i took the rap for you , and you get a kick - ass wife as a bonus ! johnny : ooh , lucky me . connie : hey , do n't pretend you 're not hot for me , johnny . i know better . you need me to jog your memory ? johnny : back off . connie : hey ! why you so uptight ? come on , baby . do n't you remember how much fun we had when we did it on sonny 's birthday ? sonny : does n't matter that connie is dangerous , that she killed starr manning 's little girl ? hey , you know what ? let 's not have her committed . let 's have her arrested . alexis : what , do you want to have her arrested for manslaughter , murder ? sonny : well , they 'd have to evaluate her state of mind , am i right ? alexis : they would , if the charges against her had n't already been dropped . sonny : against kate . now she 's connie . alexis : the court does n't discriminate between personalities . both kate and connie inhabit the same body , so , according to the court , they 're the same person . sonny : so what are you telling me ? that kate 's alter has taken over now ? i just have to live with it ? alexis : for now , yes . sonny : no , not for now , because i 'm not gon na sit around while she 's sleeping with johnny ! johnny : sonny 's birthday does n't count , okay ? it was a performance . connie : you 're telling me . well , listen , if you say it was an act , you earned yourself some great reviews . johnny : i just wanted to make sonny suffer . that 's it . connie : do n't kid a kidder . when i came to you with the plan , you could have said , `` no , thank you . not interested . `` johnny : i did , over and over again , and you would n't take no for an answer . connie : that 's true . you did shut the door in my face , but you opened it again , and you said you were good to go , which is an understatement , really , because you were wildly enthusiastic . and you ca n't tell me that it had everything to do with sticking it to sonny . you were hot for me . and you still are . carly : you saw johnny and connie in his office . that was months ago . todd : yeah . i - i know . carly : how many times did you have the opportunity to tell me the truth , to let me know what was going on ? todd : johnny swore to me that it was just a one - time thing . carly : and you believed him . you believed him ? you warned me nonstop about johnny . you came up with ridiculous excuses for me not to be with him . todd : i do n't think any of them were ridiculous . carly : my boyfriend was cheating on me , todd , and you knew ! why did n't you tell me ? todd : i could n't . carly : why ? i 'm with sandra who just got these great glasses . olivia : what ? steve : you look worried . olivia : are you always this perceptive ? maybe i just wanted the last chicken kebab . steve : [ chuckles ] olivia : all right , you got me . i was just thinking -- i -- what if this keeps happening ? steve : what , the hallucinations ? olivia : yeah . i mean , so far , none tonight , and -- unless that was n't actually humus . steve : baby , i know you 're concerned , and so am i , but you 've only had a few episodes , and that 's been over the course of a few weeks . olivia : yeah , but those were doozies . i mean , hallucinating that lulu was pregnant , that ewen keenan is the devil and we 're all gon na be saved by some magic rain falling from the sky -- what ? steve : all of those things came true . olivia : i already know what you 're gon na say , and dante already teased me about it . steve : maybe dante 's right . maybe they were n't hallucinations but premonitions . tracy : are you referring to kristina ? dante : only sister i 've got . tracy : and you expect me to believe that joseph tried to kill her ? dante : i got two witnesses to back up the story . tracy : look , sonny hates joseph . he has already tried to frame him for the murder of lieutenant mcbain 's sister . dante : did scully tell you that ? tracy : yeah . he wanted me to know just how low sonny would stoop . any story you got tonight from sonny , i guarantee you it 's a lie . dante : i did n't get the story from sonny . i got it from kristina herself . tracy : that 's impossible . dante : joe scully jr . abducted her , held her at gunpoint , was gon na kill her if someone had n't intervened . tracy : oh , please , dante . why would he do that ? did kristina happen to mention a motive ? or did sonny just whisper in her ear the name of the guilty party ? dante : joe figured , with kristina out of the picture , he 'd inherit her money . tracy : [ laughing ] why would he inherit her money ? dante : because his son is married to her . michael : why did n't you tell anybody kate was your mother ? kristina : trey just found out himself . michael : yeah ? when ? and how long did it take him to tell you ? trey : i did n't tell anybody anything because i did n't want it to be true . michael : why ? trey : when kate found out who i was to her , that she was my mother , the things she said -- i could n't deal . you know , i thought , now that we know that connie 's here , though , maybe that was her standing in front of me , telling me all those things that day . kristina : you think that 's possible ? trey : i do n't know . i mean -- all i know is that kate and i were arguing -- about you , about me being married to you -- and then she saw my medal , and she asked me about it . and so i said , well -- you know , i told her about it , and i told her that my dad had one , and -- she got all emotional and started saying things like she 's my mother , right ? i -- i called her a liar . and that 's when she flipped . like -- i do n't know . she just started tearing into me , and -- and saying these vicious things . i just -- i -- i could n't listen to anything that she was saying . i did n't -- i did n't want to hear it . michael : and you did n't think to tell anybody , possibly get her some help ? kristina : michael , give him a break , okay ? he was clearly upset . michael : if he would have said something right when it happened , dad would have realized that kate relapsed into connie . alexis : where are you going ? sonny : to get kate the hell away from johnny . alexis : no , you 're not . sonny : what do you mean `` no , i 'm not `` ? alexis : because you already assaulted him once . you go there , you assault him , that 's two times in one day . you kidnap her , you 're gon na get five years without breaking a sweat . sonny : it 's not fair ! you know how hard kate has worked to get rid of this connie ? alexis : i know it 's not fair , but if you go there , you 're gon na make things worse . sonny : ah , whatever . alexis : now wait a second . hold on . now , something must have triggered this . what happened to get connie to have such a hold over kate ? sonny : connie told me that kate found out about her son , that it was trey . yeah . alexis : when did that happen ? sonny : well , he came by to make peace , supposedly , after he snuck off and married our daughter . she found out , you know , and she freaked out . she went after him , and that punk did n't even bother to say anything . kristina : you ca n't blame this on trey . he had no idea that kate had turned into connie . michael : so what ? if he would have told us how crazy she was acting , dad might have been able to figure it out , could have got her some help , stopped her from marrying johnny . kristina : you do n't know what would have happened . michael : the wedding was a freak show , kristina . dad was furious , but he was afraid to go after connie 'cause he did n't want to hurt kate . and the whole time , my mom was sitting there , hearing how her supposed love , johnny , was cheating on her with connie the whole time . connie : so tell me , johnny , how do you feel about taking me to bed now ? what 's the matter ? cat got your tongue ? hey ! ugh ! johnny : would n't kiss you if you were the last woman on earth . i do n't want you . i want carly . todd : i could n't tell you about johnny because every time i tried to bring it up , you told me to leave you alone , you told me you did n't want to hear it . carly : 'cause i thought you were making it up . todd : exactly . why would you have believed anything that i said ? carly : you could have tried , todd . because then maybe i would n't have been blindsided . todd : there 's another -- reason why i did n't tell you about johnny cheating on you . carly : why ? todd : because i did n't want to be the one that hurt you . carly : how are you okay with this ? todd : um -- okay with what ? carly : with connie . connie marrying johnny , destroying sonny , running around town doing whatever the hell she wants . maybe she 'll shoot out someone else 's tires . todd : no , i do n't think she 's gon na do that . carly : bull ! how are you okay with any of this after connie killed your granddaughter ? dad : hello ! hi ! hi , pretty ! dante : you seem surprised . you have no idea that trey mitchell is joe jr. 's son ? tracy : i -- i have no idea who trey mitchell is . dante : he 's kristina 's husband and the guy who saved her life when joe tried to kill her . tracy : the intervention you spoke of earlier . dante : yeah . trey tried to talk scully down . apparently , he did n't listen . trey grabbed the gun , it went off , scully got hit . tracy : his son shot him ? not -- dante : not who ? tracy : someone else ? dante : no . it was his son . scully took off before anyone could call an ambulance . look , i got this directly from kristina and trey . tracy : i would like to help you , dante -- dante : well , then tell me the truth , tracy . you 've had contact with scully . i think you know where he is . are you gon na tell me , or do i come back with a warrant ? this guy taped my sister to a chair . he tried to kill her . now , are you gon na put him behind bars , where he belongs ? alexis : leave it to your son - in - law to screw things up . as if i did n't think it could get any worse . sonny : when kate found out that trey was the baby she 'd given up and the only reason he existed was because joe jr. raped her , she could not handle it . you understand ? and that 's when connie came out . alexis : you said that would happen . sonny : and i 'll tell you what -- joe jr. is the one who put all this in motion . i mean , he wound up trey so much that he pointed him straight at my family , and it includes you , kate . he is -- he is the reason that i lost kate when we were kids , and now he 's the reason that i lost her tonight . connie : you do n't care about carly . if you did , you would n't have spent all those months lying to her . johnny : i love carly . and i never wanted to hurt her . connie : you sure did some number on her at the wedding . johnny : that 's killing me ! connie : oh , please ! spare me the pity party . it 's way worse for carly , if you ask me -- finding out her man 's been stepping out on her in front of all her family and all her friends . johnny : you think i do n't know that ? all i keep seeing is carly 's face when i told her that we had been sleeping together for supposedly months . connie : well , you sure seemed convincing to me . johnny : do you have any idea how much it hurt carly to find us in bed together ? huh ? how long it took me to convince her that i had changed , that i would never do something like that again ? connie : you know what they say , johnny -- fool me once , shame on you , fool me twice -- johnny : no , no , i meant it . i did change . i wanted to be out of the business , and i was getting out , away from the business , the violence , the revenge against sonny . all i wanted to do was run my club and earn an honest living and go home every night to carly and josslyn . connie : oh , you would have been bored to tears if you were n't already . johnny : it was a dream come true , and you blew it up to pieces ! connie : and what if i had n't , johnny ? you just gon na go keep lying to her for the rest of your life ? ! johnny : why do you care ? connie : because , johnny , when i see that someone is lying to themselves , i have to stage an intervention . because let me tell you why . you can go run a legit biz , and you can go home to the same woman every night , but it does n't make you a good person . it never will , and you and i both know that . and i can give you something , johnny . i can accept you . 'cause you never have to pretend that you 're someone else with me . because you know what we have ? johnny -- what we have is real . todd : connie showed up again , right ? connie re - emerged , and i went to her , and i confronted her about hope , but at that point , she had already turned back into kate . carly : so she tricked you . todd : i guess . either way , kate 's not responsible . carly : you 're gon na let connie off the hook for kate 's sake . is that it ? todd : i will never forgive hope 's killer . carly : what are you gon na do ? todd : nothing . i 'm not gon na make starr go through that again . starr 's already forgiven kate . she 's got her life back . i do n't want my daughter to have to relive the loss of her child , the loss of her boyfriend just to put connie behind bars . carly : wow . that 's noble of you . the only problem is , at the wedding , when connie showed herself , starr went off . she totally freaked out . so why do n't you tell me again why you 're letting connie do whatever the hell she wants ? olivia : you were right . everything that i have hallucinated has wound up coming true , one way or another . steve : maybe we should take you to vegas . olivia : yeah , right . when was the last time you heard of someone taking lsd and it makes them clairvoyant ? steve : we never read about it in med school . olivia : maybe you should get out your old medical books . steve : [ chuckles ] steve : that would take way too long because the last time i saw them , they were buried under a bunch of flannel shirts and nirvana cds . olivia : [ chuckles ] steve : besides -- i 'd rather spend my time with you . olivia : yeah . that sounds good . be even better if i could just get back to normal . steve : i do n't know . i kind of like the idea of having my own personal psychic . olivia : i do n't want -- i do n't want to predict the future . i just want to be right here , in the here and now . with you . alexis : sweetie , are you all right ? kristina : mom , i 'm fine . alexis : oh , sweetheart ! sonny : you sure ? come here . alexis : honey . kristina : it was scary , but i 'm okay . sonny : all right , all right . alexis : i got sam 's message , and she said that you were here answering questions and giving a statement . sonny : did they find scully ? kristina : i do n't know . dante 's working on it . sonny : what was he planning ? i mean , you know , he was gon na kill you , and then give trey all the money ? kristina : does n't make any sense . i told him all i had was a trust fund . alexis : i do n't even believe this . sonny : i can , because joe jr. 's capable of anything . i knew him and his son were gon na try to use you . but -- alexis : oh , no ! kristina : dad , stop ! sonny : what are you doing here , man ? ! kristina : trey did n't know about this ! if it was n't for him , i would have been dead ! sonny : why would you bring him in here ? ! michael : dad , trey put himself between the gun and kristina , okay ? there was a struggle , and when his dad did n't back down , trey shot his father . kristina : to save me . it 's true , dad . trey saved my life . trey : look , i love my father , okay ? but i can not defend him . not after all this . i 'm so sorry -- for everything . tracy : go get your warrant . i have nothing to hide . joe scully jr. is an innocent man , and whatever happened tonight , i guarantee you your father is behind it . and joe scully is god knows where with a gunshot wound . he 's probably bleeding out on the street somewhere , so if you want to save the life of an innocent man , you should get out there now . you 've wasted enough time . there 's the door . dante : i leave , i come back with a warrant . tracy : this is bordering on harassment . dante : scully ! tracy : joseph ! dante : stay here . todd : i know what happened at the wedding . i talked to starr . i told her that i did n't see any point at all in having connie arrested . carly : that does n't make sense . todd : it makes perfect sense . she 's my little girl . i do n't want her to have to relive that particularly past . carly : and you know what 's best for everyone . todd : i do n't know anything , carly . here 's what i know . i 'm really sorry that johnny hurt your feelings . carly : there 's no reason for you to apologize . i do n't know why i 'm getting so mad at you . yeah , i do . because it 's easier than being angry at myself for being so pathetic . todd : you 're not pathetic . you made a mistake . everyone makes mistakes . carly : you told me all along that i was too smart to buy johnny 's lies . todd : and you are . i still think that . carly : i did n't trust my own instincts . i mean , even right now , i 'm wondering , what if i 'm wrong , you know ? what if there 's a reason for all this ? what if there 's some big secret and that 's why johnny 's doing all this ? todd : no , it 's -- johnny 's just not good enough for you . he never was . carly : but i knew johnny better ! i did . i mean , i knew the loving johnny . i knew the kind johnny . now he 's married . and he humiliated me in front of everybody . todd : carly -- carly : i do n't understand why . it does n't make sense to me , because he worked so hard trying to get me to trust him . todd : you do n't need to do this to yourself . carly : and i was n't gon na let myself be hurt again , you know ? i was n't . and then he promised me and he promised me , and i do n't understand why he would do this to me . todd : okay . johnny : you know what ? this has been a really moving pep talk , but i got stuff to do . so why do n't you go out and find yourself a party or something ? connie : nice try , johnny . sonny 's got all his goons at every nightclub ready to throw me in the looney bin . johnny : oh , i thought you just got finished telling me he does n't have the authority to do that . connie : you think that matters ? give me a break . he said he 'll do anything to lock me up . so i think i 'll stay here , thank you very much . maybe i 'll do a little online shopping . that is , after i put my name on all your credit cards . johnny : fine . do whatever you want , as long as you 're out of my sight . connie : you know -- i really think you need to stop mewling over carly , okay ? because this is gon na be a very miserable marriage , johnny . i am mrs. john zacchara , and i intend to make the most of it . i think you should do the same thing . johnny : you know what ? when you 're right , you 're right . i am gon na make the most of this , since , you know , legally we 're husband and wife and all . connie : that 's the spirit . johnny : which means i can have you committed . olivia : wait a minute . i think i 'm having another hallucination . steve : what ? what do you see ? olivia : i do n't know . it 's really , um -- it 's hazy right now , but i think i see , um -- i think i see you and me together . steve : yeah ? olivia : in that big bed of yours . [ both chuckle ] steve : that 's funny . olivia : yeah ? steve : yeah , 'cause i think i 'm seeing the same thing . you think i 'm clairvoyant ? olivia : i do n't know . why do n't we find out ? [ chuckling ] steve : come here . come here , come on . [ both laugh ] sonny : do n't even think of defending your father after what he did to kristina . michael : dad , i still do n't have any use for trey , but he did save kristina . and if he had no idea what his father was planning -- kristina : he did n't . i swear , joe jr . kept going on and on about trey would never even have to know . alexis : i think we 'll all be better off when they find joe scully . sonny : dead or alive . trey : if you guys will excuse me , i 'm gon na go see if the cops have any news . kristina : i 'm really sorry , dad . sonny : what are you sorry about ? kristina : that after everything you went through today , joe scully just made it worse . sonny : come here . kristina : [ sniffles ] dante : suspect escaped on foot sometime in the last 30 minutes . okay , good . i have every unit in a 5-mile radius looking for him , and i 'll have a car set up outside in case he comes back to the house . tracy : it does n't make any sense . he told me that sonny shot him . dante : how bad was the wound ? tracy : it was pretty bad . i do n't think he could get very far . dante : tracy , you did the right thing . [ door opens , closes ] tracy : [ crying ] that is the last time you are going to lie to me , joseph scully jr . sonny : no matter what i do , i ca n't help kate . johnny 's her husband . he 's the only one that can have her committed . kristina : mom , is that true ? alexis : yeah . well , we thought olivia would be a good possibility -- but she has her own psychological issues . kristina : olivia ? sonny : she 's a blood relative . i mean , she could petition the court to be kate 's -- alexis : guardian ad litem . but a cousin does n't usually trump a husband 's authority . a sister or mother would be an easier sell . michael : yeah , well , if kate does n't get help -- is she gon na stay as connie forever ? sonny : hell , no . 'cause i 'm gon na do what i have to do to get kate back , and there 's got to be a way to force connie into getting help . [ breathes deeply ] connie : you listen to me , johnny . you even think about committing me , i 'm gon na hightail it to the police and tell them my new husband 's a baby killer . and now that we understand each other , i 'm gon na go get ready for bed . if you 'd like to join me for our wedding night -- i brought sex toys . carly : i have to go . i should get home to josslyn . right now . todd : no . no , you 're not going anywhere . carly : i could have the front desk call me a car . todd : no , putting you right here . josslyn 's already asleep , right ? carly : well , the hotel 's fully booked . i 'm not gon na sleep in my office . what are you doing ? todd : you need to talk to somebody who owns this hotel about the thread count . i 'm here for you , carly . and i 'm not going anywhere . johnny : carly -- carly : [ sighs ] todd : close your eyes . everything 's gon na be all right . .

[ scene_break ] paul : i certainly understand why you think that michael would be better off without sonny . i 'm just glad that he did n't hear it . tracy : i waited until he left the room . paul : tracy , [ scoffs ] i know you 're not widely known for -- for holding your opinion , but perhaps you should try , at least for michael and a - at least for now . tracy : let me remind you you 're not my husband , nor have you been for a very long time . guess what , you do n't get to tell me what to do . paul : did i ever ? tracy : [ scoffs ] yes . paul : well , i could probably try again , but i doubt you would listen . anyway , my point is th - that michael needs the support of h - his friends and his family , even you . tracy : gee , thanks . i 'm gon na be supportive in my own way . paul : hey , michael . are you feeling better ? michael : um , a little bit . thank you . paul : well , it 's great to hear . all right , if you 'll excuse me , i 've got a phone call to make . michael : if you , uh , see sabrina , can you tell her that i 'm upstairs ? tracy : yes , of course . michael : thank you . tracy : michael . i - i hope they find carlos rivera soon . michael : thank you . tracy : when did he become a suspect ? nobody 's heard from him in months . michael : [ sighs ] ava told me he was responsible , and then i passed the information on to the police . tracy : why would you believe a word that comes out of that woman 's mouth ? michael : well , look at it this way -- if they find him , we will know one way or another . tracy : maybe . why was she confiding in you ? michael : she did n't . she , uh , announced it at a meeting . tracy : what meeting ? michael : a meeting i ca n't talk about . tracy : oh , my god , michael , you 're scaring me ! [ scene_break ] sabrina : if carlos had come back into town , he would have been in touch , at least to let me know that he was all right . anna : maybe his strategy is to slip in and out of town without trace and do what he needs to do , shoot who he needs to shoot . sabrina : look , whatever his reasons were , i - i just -- i just feel like i would have heard from him by now . anna : hmm . sabrina : maybe that 's something that i should tell the police ? anna : mm , think very carefully before you do that . essentially , you will be admitting to accessory after the fact -- aiding and abetting . i do n't know how this da would react to that . emma : mission accomplished . sabrina : great ! that was awesome . you did so great . thank you . emma : and i 'm a big tipper . [ laughing ] sabrina : oh , okay . thank you . anna : no problem . no problem . sabrina : so , i should be getting these back to michael , you know , before he heads to the hospital . i love you so much , and i 'll see you later , okay ? emma : i love you , too . sabrina : okay . anna : bye . sabrina : bye . emma : grandma ? anna : hmm ? emma : do you want to hear what i 've written so far about you ? [ scene_break ] sam : well , this was actually emma 's . patrick : it 's temporary until i get her the real thing . sam : oh , stop . patrick : yeah . laura : oh , my goodness . so -- so the celebration that i have interrupted ... patrick : yeah . sam : [ chuckles ] patrick : she -- she finally agreed to be my wife . sam : he finally agreed to be my husband . laura : congratulations . patrick : thank you . sam : thank you . laura : i wish you every happiness . patrick : i appreciate it . sam : yeah . patrick : yeah , she said yes , finally , again . and , uh , you 're actually the first person to hear about this . laura : i feel honored . [ chuckles ] but `` finally `` ? why the delay ? sam : uh ... well , um , i just -- i needed a little time . i had to finally let jason go . [ scene_break ] jason : i have to tell you , it was surreal . there was this very sweet , blind old lady -- mrs. yi . she 's one of the owners . and she was there when sam and jason got married . she also remembered that it was their anniversary , and , well , she actually thought that jason and sam were there to renew their vows . elizabeth : but sam was there with -- jason : yeah , me . that 's right . that is the second person in a week who thought i was jason . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] sonny was on morphine . you know that . and mrs. yi is old and apparently blind , so i guess it 's not that strange . jason : yeah , i guess . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jason : you know , i never met this man , yet i keep tripping over him . [ cell phone ringing ] elizabeth : excuse me . hello ? hayden : hello , elizabeth ? elizabeth : uh , speaking . who 's this ? hayden : this is hayden barnes . elizabeth : i - i 'm having a really poor connection . can you just hold on a minute ? just give me a second . okay , can you hear me ? hayden : yes . i know , um , you do n't know me very well , and from what i can piece together , the parts of me that you do know , you do n't like very much , so do n't worry . i wo n't take up too much of your time . elizabeth : mm . what can i do for you ? hayden : i was hoping you could tell me why i broke that vase . elizabeth : sorry . i do n't know what you mean . hayden : [ scoffs ] come on . even i remember it , and i do n't remember anything . i broke a vase at wyndemere worth a ton of money , and you were there . [ hayden 's flashback ] elizabeth : god , what is wrong with you ? hayden : me ? try asking that to a mirror , and then take a seat . nikolas : this ends right now ! it 's over . it 's over . hayden : oh , no , you know what , i 'm just getting started , okay , so stop harassing me , or i 'll march over to that garage and tell jake who he really is . [ back to present ] hayden : do you recall what we were talking about at the time ? hello ? elizabeth ? are you there ? nikolas : elizabeth , it 's nikolas . do n't worry . i 'll take care of it . everything 's under control . [ scene_break ] sam : i had to take a good look around me , and i realized that jason is gone . and as devastating as it was to lose him , i 'm actually , finally happy again . laura : that 's wonderful . sam : i know . i mean , how lucky am i ? i get -- i get to see this guy every day . patrick : how lucky can you get ? sam : danny and i are lucky , and we have emma . and just -- we 've -- we 've become a family . patrick : and we 're very excited to make it official . sam : oh , will you listen to us ? we 're just going on and on about our engagement . [ chuckles ] patrick : well , you 're marrying a very handsome doctor , so that 's to be expected . sam : i know i am . but in the meantime ... you rushed all the way from the airport . yeah , you wanted to talk to us about something . what is it ? [ scene_break ] emma : `` my grandma is smart and strong and beautiful . and she lets me play with her jewelry . she can also shoot a gun , but only for good reasons . `` that 's all i got so far . what do you think ? anna : it 's -- it 's wonderful . it 's really good . emma : next i 'm gon na write about how you stop bad guys and bring them to justice and how people always trust you to do what 's right . anna : sweetheart , this is a wonderful profile , thank you . but you ca n't paint me to be perfect . you know , you got to put some flaws in there . emma : like what ? anna : like i 'm a failure as a cook . i - i can do three things -- tea , uh , soft- boiled eggs , grilled - cheese sandwiches . i burn those sometimes . emma : you do n't have to be a good cook when you 're a hero , grandma . anna : oh , god . i hope i never disappoint you . emma : you never could . anna : all right , um , we should get home so you can finish your essay . i think on the way , i 'm gon na come up with some more flaws that you can include , all right ? emma : okay . [ scene_break ] tracy : there 's only one kind of meeting where ava jerome would announce that a former employee tried to kill sonny . michael : i told you i ca n't talk about it . tracy : i do n't want you to talk about it , especially with the da in the house . but this business of figuring out who shot sonny is not your problem . michael : he 's my father , okay ? i ca n't just sit back . tracy : he 's not your father ! sonny shot aj , and when he did , you embraced being a quartermaine . you changed your name to quartermaine . you are not now nor have you ever truly been a corinthos . michael : i do n't agree with that . tracy : you know who agrees with me ? my father . my father believed that you were the best hope for the future of the quartermaines . you are the guardian of my father 's legacy . do n't blow it , michael , by letting your grief over sonny bring you down . [ scene_break ] kiki : [ sighs ] thank you , guys , for seeing me home . i 'm kind of tired . i just want to go to bed . and , nina , um , i 'm sorry for blaming you for what your mother did . nina : well , thank you . i 'm sorry for blaming you for what your mother did . kiki : uh , and thank you for handling finn . uh , goodnight . franco : i think , um , you know , after all the tension and all the booze tonight that maybe kiki could use a cup of coffee . nina : oh , she said she 's tired . she does n't need coffee . it 'll keep her awake . she should have water . franco : okay , then . nina : actually , she should have warm milk with some honey . it soothes the stomach . it soothes it . and , um ... oh , after all the shots you 've had , it would probably make you puke . kiki : oh , my god , nina , he wants you to go into the kitchen so that he can lecture me in private . nina : oh . okay , i 'll make coffee . franco : i 'm not gon na lecture you . kiki : then what do you want ? franco : i want to know why you lied to me . kiki : i lied to you because i did n't want you feeling sorry for me . franco : i do n't feel sorry for you . i care about you . i do . i do n't know why it 's so difficult for you to understand that you mean something to me . kiki : oh , please . i mean , is there anything more boring than listening to someone whine about how everyone in her life has turned on her or died a tragic death ? franco : absolutely . i can think of a ton of things that are more boring than that . kiki : [ sighs ] okay . the truth is ... since my dad died , i do n't know where i 'm going . [ scoffs ] i do n't know how i 'm gon na live . [ chuckles ] but i was n't gon na show you that . i definitely ... was n't gon na show nina . franco : i do n't see why not . what 's the big deal ? kiki , you have every right to be angry , furious , outraged , even . kiki : thank you for the permission . franco : that 's not what i meant . kiki : sometimes , i wish that you 'd never even told me about my mom and morgan . that is how desperate and lonely i 've been -- that i would actually put up with them screwing behind my back just as long as i did n't know . just so i did n't have to feel like this -- like , so lonely . franco : i - i know this is probably not what you want to hear right now , but you 're better off without them . kiki : this is exactly what i mean by `` boring . `` i mean , you do n't need to listen to me say , `` oh , poor me . i 've written off my mom and my ex - boyfriend and my dad 's dead and i 'm all alone , so i think i 'll just go out and get drunk and pick up strangers . `` franco : hey . hey . i know that i 'm not your father . i know that . i spent 20 years of my life thinking that you were my daughter , hoping , longing to meet you . and then when i did meet you , i do n't know how you felt about that period of time , but for me , it was pretty great . i look back on that time , and i think that they 're some of the best moments of my life . kiki : until you forgot about me . franco : i did n't forget about you , kiki . how could i forget about you ? kiki : you 've got your whole new life now -- you and nina . you 're vindicated . you 're out of the nut house . you guys are happy , happy , happy . franco : what are you talking about ? i called you . i called you over and over again . you did n't call me back . i started to think that you -- kiki : so you thought that i was fine because that 's what you wanted to think . you wanted to think i was okay , so that 's what i showed you tonight . that was me being okay . and here i am . i 'm still fine . i 'm fine . franco : you 're a liar . i know you 're lying to me now . kiki : you know what , you can get out , and you do n't ever have to come back , okay ? and be sure to tell nina that i 'll call babs and have her lower the price , okay ? or you know what , she can just give this place away 'cause i really -- i ca n't stand living here , rattling around by myself anymore . franco : all right , let 's think this through . where are you gon na go ? kiki : i do n't know . i ... i do n't have anywhere to go . [ scene_break ] michael : i appreciate the advice , tracy , but i have to do what i have to do for my father . tracy : i 'm counting on it . we are talking about aj , are n't we ? sabrina : if it is n't my two favorite quartermaines . michael : hey . sabrina : hi . tracy : thank god . talk some sense into him . remind him that his life is here with his family . sabrina : as opposed to ... ? tracy : i 'll let michael fill you in . i 'm going to the rose garden to commune with my mother 's memory and pray for patience . [ door opens ] sabrina : do i want to know ? [ chuckles ] michael : uh ... tracy 's just expressing her concern in her own unique way . what do we got here ? sabrina : oh , um , i thought you and your family could use these . michael : oh , geez . you truly are a healer , you know that ? sabrina : [ chuckles ] well , emma picked them out . michael : oh , well , thank you and emma . sabrina : just wish there was something more that i could do . michael : are you kidding ? you already do so much , really . and this is just icing on the cake . as a matter of fact , i 'm gon na -- i 'm actually gon na take one of these to the hospital with me . sabrina : hmm , well , then , i 'm glad i showed up . [ chuckles ] so , what 's up with tracy ? she seemed pretty upset . michael : yeah , she 's not happy that i went to the police about carlos . she thinks that i should stay out of the search for whoever shot my father . sabrina : look , i know that ava thinks it was carlos , but ... i do n't think it 's him . michael : okay , let me ask you this , then -- do you think carlos is innocent , or is that just what you want to believe ? [ scene_break ] laura : well , in light of your news , i just feel so silly having rushed over here and interrupted you . patrick : please , it 's fine . sam : yeah . yeah . what is it ? patrick : what is it ? laura : well , actually , um , i 've decided to stay in port charles sort of indefinitely , and i was just wondering whether or not you 'd be willing to be my local neurologist . sam : aww . laura : um , i have a condition that i have to monitor , and actually , i 'm really overdue for a check - up . so , anyway , that 's why it had to be the first stop . patrick : yeah , absolutely . it 's probably a good thing that you came by . we 'll get you -- we 'll get you set up right away . laura : great . thank you so much . and now i will leave you to your family , and i will check on mine . sam : oh , yes . of course . patrick : well , good to see you . laura : nice to see you . [ patrick clears throat ] laura : [ sighs ] so , you 're happy ? you 're really happy , huh ? sam : [ chuckles ] yeah . i 'm -- i 'm really happy . laura : okay . sam : that ... was kind of weird , was n't it ? [ scene_break ] jason : are you okay ? elizabeth : yeah , i 'm fine . it was just someone from work . jason : do you need to go to work ? elizabeth : no , it was , um -- it was a misunderstanding . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , what were you doing , hayden ? hayden : making a phone call . [ scoffs ] nikolas : really ? you do n't even know elizabeth . hayden : but she was here when i broke that vase , so i figured she might remember what i was being such a bitch about . nikolas : so the minute i turn my back , you start bothering my friends ? is that how it 's gon na go ? hayden : yes , nikolas . i was pranking your pal . it has nothing to do with this stupid secret that 's driving me crazy . nikolas : stop . stop evading . i asked you not to bother elizabeth , but you called her behind my back . hayden : yeah , i did , and you 're massively overreacting , after telling her , right in front of me , that she should n't worry , that you 've got it under control . and by `` it , `` i can only assume you mean me . so what is it exactly that you do n't want me to know , nikolas ? is it my secret , or is it your secret ?

[ scene_break ] sabrina : i have a pretty good sense of how carlos reacts in these situations , and ... this just does n't feel like him . michael : okay , thank you . that 's -- that 's good to know . sabrina : are you having doubts , too ? michael : well , if the police find carlos , we 'll know one way or another . sabrina : yeah . michael : i should -- i actually got to go . um ... can i walk you out ? sabrina : sure , but , hey , michael , look , i know how much you 're hurting right now . and ... look , i just need you to do something for me . michael : okay . sabrina : i know how much you want to help your father , and i know you want to get him justice , but just , please , let the police handle this . you know , they 're investigating . just let them do their jobs . michael : that 's actually the plan . sabrina : great . [ laughs ] and , look , if it does turn out to be carlos , then , you know , so be it . but you -- you save your strength for your family . your mother , your brothers , your sisters -- they all need you right now . michael : which is why i should be with them .

sam and patrick are happily ready to get married , announce it to everyone and suspect nothing when laura comes by to pay them a visit . she makes it clear that she had an `` urgent need `` that prompted her to rush all the way from the airport just to tell them something `` very important `` . they have no clue what she ( as well as nikolas and elizabeth ) know about jake and she wants to enlighten them both , knowing how it will affect both of their lives . however , when she hears their joyous news , she hesitates to reveal the secret and abruptly leaves . sam finds that very odd and suspects that laura knows `` something `` she needs to find out about . meanwhile anna is with her granddaughter and hears emma praise her grandma and express that she wants to tell her class about her hero . hearing that , anna is clearly uncomfortable knowing that she murdered carlos , paul is onto her , and she 's deceived sabrina and many others about what happened to carlos while keeping them in the dark about what she did . tracy urges michael not to go back to his `` old ways `` of recognizing sonny as his father when sonny murdered his real father who is a quartermaine . hayden needs to find answers which she knows both nikolas and elizabeth are preventing her from having about what happened before she got shot . she still has no recollection what they know about jake but may find out before too long . neither jake nor sam nor patrick have a clue . however , laura does and may not be as willing to keep the secret about jason as her son and elizabeth are . she goes to find nikolas and catches him `` with `` hayden .

[ scene_break ] officer taylor : i know i saw detective falconeri 's name here .

[ scene_break ] officer taylor : everything okay over here ? sonny : oh , everything 's fine . sorry for interrupting . you know how sons can be . can i have a second with him ? come on . michael : [ sighs ] hat 's going on ? what ? what are you doing here ? sonny : nelle called . she 's worried about you . michael : look , what i do is none of her business . sonny : that girl saved your life . what do you think ? you 're gon na come in here and kill paul hornsby ? michael : wait . i do n't have a gun . sonny : of course not . because there 's metal detectors at the entrance . you were gon na swipe one off that cop . and then what ? how far was that gon na take you ? michael : far enough to put a bullet in that bastard . sonny : hey , listen to me . paul hornsby is gon na -- he 's gon na spend 30 years in a prison cell . he 's gon na be a broken man . no one 's gon na care about him . no one 's gon na love him . we got to let the law take care of it this time . michael : the law will take care of it . like it did with julian ? [ scene_break ] carly : you know we 're not having this conversation , right ? dante : yeah , okay . carly : what is it ? dante : this ? all right . there it is . i 'm not here as a cop . i 'm here as family . i want to talk to you about my father . carly : well , you know i 'm not privy to the details of sonny 's business . and there 's also something called spousal privilege . you know this . dante : come on , carly . we do n't have time for this . sonny 's going after julian jerome . carly : how do you know that ? do you have wiretapping ? inside information ? how do you know this ? dante : i do n't know . call it instinct , okay ? he has n't been around to see rocco . he 's not returning my calls . he 's trying to keep himself at a distance . carly : now you 're speculating . dante : carly , sonny is making plans to kill julian jerome , and he does n't want me to know about it . look , i 'm not gon na shed a tear for the guy , okay ? believe me , he 's had this coming for a long time . but the bloodshed will not end there . ava will retaliate , or someone will step in for julian . either way , the violence will escalate . it always does . and the next time our families get together , it wo n't be for a sunday dinner . it will be to bury sonny or someone he loves . [ scene_break ] darby : hello , stranger . uh , scotch neat , please . morgan : wow . you 're not wasting any time , huh ? darby : it 's my study break . morgan : mm . it 's my permanent break , thanks to you , actually . i got expelled from school because you told me to buy a paper online , yeah . darby : i do n't get it . i 've never had any problem before . did you run it through the plagiarism filter first ? morgan : no . you did n't tell me to do that . darby : i did n't think i had to spell it out for you . it 's pretty obvious . well , it was n't to me . but whatever . i 'm over it . i can handle getting kicked out of school . what i ca n't handle is losing kiki . [ scene_break ] kiki : all right , olivia , i 'm off . olivia : oh , wait , wait . i know tracy 's a tough customer , but your shift is n't over . kiki : oh , no . [ chuckles ] sally 's covering for me . it 's not because of tracy . well , not exactly , but ... olivia : well , wait , wait , wait . what ? what , honey ? am i giving you too many hours ? kiki : oh , no , no . it 's definitely not that . um , i 've been trying to reach out to dillon all day , but he 's not picking up . olivia : oh , this is about ned 's baby brother . kiki : yeah . olivia : say no more . the poor kid must be going through hell trying to process what his father did . you go . go . be a good friend . send my love . [ scene_break ] ned : dillon , it 's not here . dillon : it is , ned , okay ? ! i 'm gon na find it ! i do n't want to show up here one day looking for the kayak and be ambushed by a bunch of bad memories . ned : you know what ? this reminds me of my 8th birthday party . dillon : [ sighs ] ned : our mother dressed me up in a tie and short pants . dillon : i am so sorry . ned : me too . anyway , she invited all the best people . she introduced me to ambassadors and socialites and dignitaries . i could n't care less about these people . all i wanted to see was my father . and then , all of a sudden , i smell a cuban cigar , and i run into the library , and there he was ... my father holding court , regaling the guests with his latest adventure . he put me on his shoulders , paraded me around the house , and i was king for a day . as a gift , he gave me diamond - encrusted cuff links . dillon : just what every 8-year - old wants . ned : i was just thrilled that i had my father 's attention . even mother started having a good time . dillon : how could you tell ? ned : well , when she started doing the hustle on the dance floor . dillon : mm . i would have loved to see that . ned : anyway , it was all fun and games until my father was caught fondling a , um ... a swiss olympic fencer out behind the pool house . mother sent him packing . and the next day , she had those cuff links appraised . dillon : and ? ned : cheap pewter and bad zirconias . i threw those cuff links in the garbage , and i did n't see my father for another 10 years . dillon : are you actually comparing your father to my father ? you realize that one is a lout and one is a serial killer ? ned : what i 'm trying to say is , while those cuff links might be long gone , their memory is n't . we can put distance between ourselves and our past , but we can never truly shake it . larry will always be a part of me , and paul will always be a part of you . it 's how we learn to live with it that counts . [ scene_break ] ava : why did n't you give me up to save yourself ? paul : that 's not who i am . ava : well , then you would n't mind ... paul : giving you the flash drive ? [ chuckles ] that 's not gon na happen . ava : you have no need for it now . paul : `` now `` being the operative word . circumstances might change in the future . it makes sense to have an ally who 's motivated on the outside , someone with a debt to repay . ava : you do n't need that flash drive as some kind of leverage . if the time comes and you need me , i 'll be there . we are kindred spirits , after all . paul : which is why i wo n't be turning over the flash drive to you . but i 'd like to take this opportunity to give you some advice . you say your daughters are the reason for everything . be there for them -- now , not after all the damage is done and it 's too late . ava : actually , that 's not bad advice , paul . thank you . take care of yourself . [ scene_break ] carly : what sonny does is his business , not mine . dante : [ breathes sharply ] unreal . you 're avoiding what 's staring you right in the face . how many more close calls and gunshot wounds and bargains with god is it gon na take before the law of averages catches up with you ? i mean , when are you gon na realize that it 's not god that 's protecting your family ? it 's blind luck . and your luck 's run out , carly . you got to do everything you can to stop sonny . you got to play every card that you have . carly : who the hell are you to lecture me ? ! you 're damn right i want to stop this cycle of violence , to end the suffering and the loss . i begged sonny to let the legal system do its job , to let justice be handed to julian . and sonny agreed . and what happened , dante ? that system -- your system -- it failed ! julian 's out there walking around free , and the message that sends to sonny 's enemies is that he ca n't protect his family . and that is a perception no man in sonny 's position can afford . dante : there are other ways for sonny to defend himself than by offing julian . carly : i have done everything i can to avoid what 's coming . so if you think you can do better , be my guest . and i hope to hell you succeed , because god help us all if you do n't . [ scene_break ] michael : everybody keeps telling me the case against paul hornsby is open and close , but so was the case against julian . we all know how that turned out . sonny : if the courts do n't send paul hornsby to prison , he will be dealt with , but not by you , michael . michael : tell me , if you were in my place , would you be able to just sit back and keep your hands clean ? sonny : you 're not , and i thank god every day for that . you know what i always wanted for my kids ? michael : yes , for us to have a better life than you had . sonny : to be better than me , and you are . you are , michael . you 're honorable . you 're decent . you know how to treat people . you do n't threaten them . you persuade . you know the difference between right and wrong , and you act accordingly . you know what ? i 've always wished to be the kind of man that you are . but if you think you 're gon na come in here and kill paul hornsby , people are gon na see you not as you are . they 're gon na see you as a criminal , the son of a criminal , the son of sonny corinthos . michael : that 's who i am , though . and in some ways , i 'm -- i 'm more your son than dante and morgan , because i know how you think . sonny : okay , if i ca n't appeal to your goodness , i 'll appeal to your intelligence . vengeance -- it 's expensive . it 'll cost you the rest of your life . michael : [ sighs ] sonny : do n't throw it all away on a bastard like paul hornsby . [ scene_break ] darby : kiki ? so , what 's going on with that ? morgan : oh , the usual . just pushing her away again , screwing up the best thing i ever had ... again . darby : i never really had much use for kiki , but i have to say -- that girl has the patience of a saint when it comes to you . morgan : what do you mean by that ? darby : she hung on with you after you possibly gave her an sti in addition to , you know , getting her shot . anyone else would have ran screaming for the exit . so you need to pull it together and do right by kiki while you still can . [ scene_break ] kiki : dillon ? dillon : kiki , hey . kiki : i was worried about you . i left you a couple messages . dillon : yeah , no . thank you . i just have n't really been in a talkative mood . kiki : i understand . dillon : i thought you would . kiki : i just -- i wanted to check on you , but feel free to tell me to leave . dillon : would you ? kiki : i mean , if you had after i got out of the hospital , then i never would have left that damn apartment . dillon : [ clicks tongue ] so that 's a definite no . [ chuckles ] okay , then make yourself useful . i want to go through all of this junk again . kiki : what are we looking for ? dillon : a fishing rod that my father ... paul gave me . kiki : oh . dillon : it 's got to be here somewhere . i just have n't been able to find it , so ... kiki : you mean ... [ opens door ] ... this fishing rod ? [ scene_break ] ned : olivia . olivia : ned . how are you ? ned : doing well . doing well . olivia : ah . ned : how 's leo ? olivia : fantastic . getting bigger every day . i believe your date is here . ned : yes . i should go . olivia : always nice to see you . ned : good to see you . olivia : mm . ned : sorry i 'm late . tracy : catching up with mama leone ? ned : olivia is a very good person . and i know for a fact that she goes out of her way to take care of you whenever you come here . tracy : well , that 's not surprising , considering the amount of business i 've sent to her . ned : mother , do you want to talk about the service here at the metro court or about what your ex - husband tried to do to you last night ? [ scene_break ] sonny : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] what 's going on ? dante : i do n't know . never get ahold of you . you do n't answer the calls . you do n't text back . i thought i 'd stop by , have a chat . sonny : sure . what do you want to talk about ? dante : you . you and your plans for julian jerome . sonny : that 's none of your business . dante : [ scoffs ] sonny : it does n't concern you . dante : of course -- sonny : and you know it . dante : the hell it does n't . sonny : why ? dante : 'cause you 're my father and i 'm worried about you . sonny : do n't worry about me . you should worry about your brothers , because michael and morgan , they need all the help they can get . [ scene_break ] michael : [ breathes deeply ] enjoying your nap ? paul : i was wondering when you 'd show up . michael : well , now you do n't have to wonder . [ scene_break ] ned : i was thinking that , um , maybe it 's time to reach out to your former in- laws . are there any soleitos left in town ? i 'm sure they know people , right ? have contacts ? i mean , i 'll consider sonny for the job , but only as a last resort . tracy : what are you talking about ? ned : paul 's death . we have to kill him . [ scene_break ] jordan : [ sighs ] andré : jordan ? jordan : hey . andré : hey . jordan : hey . andré : everything okay ? jordan : yeah . i just ... i need a vacation . andré : ah . i thought you might have forgotten to eat , so ... jordan : i did . i 'm sorry i have n't been able to call you back . andré : no . you 're in the middle of a crisis . jordan : yeah . andré : paul hornsby , district attorney and serial killer . jordan : yeah . the killer was in plain sight the entire time , right under my nose . andré : under all our noses . jordan : yeah , but i 'm the police commissioner . i mean , at least -- at least for now . andré : what does that mean ? jordan : [ breathes deeply ] it means ... that it 's over . i 'm resigning . [ scene_break ] tracy : kill p -- paul ? ned : the sooner , the better . tracy : you ca n't be serious ! you 're not a killer ! ned : what i am is a son who loves his mother . tracy : oh . thank you . i appreciate that . but why do n't we let the courts deal with paul and you concentrate on your brother ? he needs you . ned : what about you ? tracy : i 'm gon na concentrate on the hospital . as a matter of fact , i sent you a draft of the proposal i 'm going to make tomorrow to the board to get it reopened . ned : and what about paul ? tracy : what about paul ? ned : spend all your days at the hospital , but until you face what paul did to you and deal with it , you are never gon na have any peace in your life . [ scene_break ] michael : i 've been thinking about the cost of vengeance , what i 'd have to invest versus what i 'd get in return . [ breathes deeply ] i 'd like very much to kill you . but you 're not worth throwing my life away . paul : i understand your anger . michael : i do n't care . all i want from you are answers . why ? why did you kill sabrina ? paul : [ sighs ] it 's -- it 's difficult to explain . i ... everything just sort of spiraled and -- michael : sabrina 's brother - in - law brought teddy back to puerto rico . one day when he 's old enough , he 's gon na want to know what happened to his mother . you very well might be dead by then . so i 'm going to have to explain it to him . paul : i - i - i do n't want to think about it anymore . michael : yeah , well , too bad ! you owe teddy this much . when that day comes ... ... this is what you can tell teddy . that his mother died a hero . [ scene_break ] dillon : you know , growing up , my mom never even really mentioned my father . she insisted that i was better off without him . but i never really believed her , you know ? i always thought about him or tried to imagine him . and then when he showed up , and he wanted to get to know me ... ... i fell for it . [ chuckles ] kiki : it 's natural to want a relationship with your dad . dillon : i mean , i was n't a total sucker , you know . i - i was really standoffish at first , and then , little by little , he got to me ... to the point where i accepted money for my stupid movie ... to the point where i wanted his help , his encouragement ... to the point where i cared about what he thought . i mean , how pathetic , right ? well , not anymore . [ breaks rod over his knee ] damn it . kiki : dillon , you 're bleeding . dillon : just another gift from my dad . kiki : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : michael 's grieving , and morgan ... well , you might as well just hear it from me . he got expelled from pcu . dante : what ? carly : [ sighs ] dante : he just -- he just started . sonny : well , it 's not my story to tell . he just needs your support . dante : [ sighs ] well , i 've always supported my family , sonny . this is why i 'm pushing for this . we want you around , all of us . sonny : i 'm not gon na go anywhere . i promise you that . dante : okay , but that 's not gon na be up to you if you start a war by taking out julian jerome . sonny : why do you have to bring that up in front of carly ? dante : what are you talking about ? ! do n't play -- come on ! stop playing this game with us ! with me and with carly ! she 's not gon na say anything in front of me , but i know she feels the way i do . leave julian be . let it go , sonny . [ scene_break ] ava : olivia , hello . olivia : i 'm sure that any one of our very talented servers would be more than happy to seat you . ava : well , it 's just that the only server that i 'm interested in does not appear to be on the floor . olivia : kiki is not here . ava : well , do you know where she is ? olivia : she left early to help a friend . ava : i hope everything 's all right . olivia : do you even read your news feed ? did you hear what happened with tracy and paul ? kiki went to help dillon . ava : how very like kiki . always worried about her friends . so , i 'm guessing that she ... she went over to the quartermaine estate ? olivia : yeah , sure . whatever . now , if the 20 questions are over , i got work to do . ava : kiki and dillon . hmm . [ scene_break ] andré : you ca n't resign . jordan : julian jerome went free on my watch . andré : because the da sabotaged his own case . jordan : yes , but i 'm still the commissioner . that makes me answerable . andré : yes , you are the commissioner , and you did your job . you did it tenaciously and with integrity . you ca n't resign . you have a responsibility as a role model , as the first black female police commissioner in port charles to prove to our community what i already know to be true -- our faith in you is not misplaced . [ scene_break ] paul : i was about to leave monica 's office when sabrina arrived . she opened the door and found monica lying on the floor and immediately began cpr to save her . michael : so she had no idea what you had done ? paul : not at first , at least not consciously . she asked me to get help , and , uh ... i walked away , and i was worried that sabrina would put it together . so i stayed close by in the icu area . a few moments later , sabrina came running up , and she said that monica had been injected , and , uh , she was gon na call the police . sabrina : i found a mark on monica 's neck . dr. andy said it 's definitely an injection mark . it could be derisifol . paul : and then her face changed . and i knew she knew . sabrina : i 'm going to let you call , um , commissioner ashford , and i 'm gon na go check on monica . and i probably need to call tracy , too , because she 's gon na want -- [ screams ] michael : you dragged her into an empty icu room , and you killed her . sabrina : [ screaming ] let me go ! michael : she must have fought you with everything that she had . you know , she was n't like the others . no , you could n't just shoot her up or shove her down some stairs . you had to choke her to death with your own bare hands . you were at the wrong place at the wrong time . sabrina : no ! ! paul : i 'm so sorry . sabrina : no ! paul : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . michael : how long did it take , huh ? how long was she afraid ? tracy : michael , that 's enough . michael : no , no . paul -- paul -- paul is n't finished yet . tracy : yes , he is . he 's done . [ scene_break ] kiki : i am sorry , but this might sting a little bit . dillon : i think i can handle it . kiki : yeah ? dillon : [ groans ] kiki : all right . i 'm sorry . i 'm not the best nurse . you might want to get this , like , actually looked at . dillon : [ sighs ] kiki : you might have a small scar . dillon : it 's okay . it 'll be a reminder not to end up like my dad . kiki : you know , a lot of people think that my mom is n't much better than your dad . does that mean i 'm gon na end up like her ? dillon : of course not . you and ava are nothing alike . you are your own person . you 're a good person . kiki : well , so are you . do n't let your dad 's decisions define you . he acted on his darkest impulses even though he knew it was wrong . you would never do that . dillon : how do you know ? kiki : because you , dillon quartermaine , are a good , nice , kind , funny guy . and you have a lot of people that you can lean on if you ever need help . you have your mom , your brother . and you have me . [ scene_break ] ava : ah , hey , morgan . how 's it going ? morgan : have you seen kiki ? ava : uh , kiki . well , she was -- she was here not too long ago . morgan : okay , well , i 've been trying to call her . i think her phone 's off . ava : or maybe she forgot to charge it . you know , she does that sometimes . morgan : do you know where she went , ava ? ava : you know , i - i think that i should stay out of this . morgan : out of what ? ava : well , your relationship with my daughter is really none of my business . morgan : no , it 's not , but if you know where she is , you need to tell me . ava : i 'm actually not comfortable with this conversation . morgan : where ... is she , ava ? ava : well , i did n't see her . but olivia did , and she said that kiki was upset , um ... about dillon quartermaine . morgan : what about him ? ava : well , she and dillon are friends . you know , they became close when you were off at the ... morgan : the mental hospital , ava ? ava : right . well , i 'm sure that kiki is just there to comfort him . nothing romantic going on . [ scene_break ] sonny : i could have killed julian that night on the pier . he had a knife . he had a knife to alexis ' throat . i stepped back , let the cops do their job , which they did n't . i trusted the system , and julian , the psycho , walked ! [ laughing ] now , you 're standing here in my house telling me to let it go ? dante : yeah . sonny : oh . dante : yeah . sonny : [ chuckles ] dante : because if you do n't , the constant need for retribution will hurt , if not kill , everyone that you love . sonny : it 's a dangerous world . you are a cop . a very good cop . but people get killed around you . you could get killed . dante : what are you even talking about right now ? this is just going in circles . sonny : well , then drop the subject ! dante : i ca n't -- what ? what ? you 're not the only one with a family , sonny ! i got a family ! i got an obligation to protect my son ! you , me , and rocco -- we all share the same blood . i know how this stuff works . i know innocents get caught in the cross fire . that 's not gon na happen to my son . i 'm telling you that right now , okay ? fair warning . if the choice is between saving my son and taking you down , i will not hesitate . [ scene_break ] tracy : come on , michael . you need to go home . michael : [ sighs ] i thought , coming here , i 'd get some sort of satisfaction , some sort of closure . all i see is a terrible waste . sabrina was a good , generous person , and now she 's dead . there 's -- there 's no closure to that . there 's no balance . there 's no satisfaction . it 's just wrong . tracy : go home . leave paul to rot . find a way to move forward . that 's how you honor sabrina . michael : moving forward seems impossible right now . tracy : michael , we 're family . we 're gon na take care of each other . that 's more than he will ever have ever again . take comfort in that . go on . paul : how 's dillon ? tracy : lost to you . you are all alone now . [ scene_break ] jordan : michael . what are you doing here ? michael : i just saw paul hornsby . look , how soon will he be tried ? do you have enough evidence to get a conviction ? jordan : actually , there will not be a trial . paul is pleading guilty to all charges . by the time he gets out of pentonville , if he ever does , he will be a very old man . he wo n't be a danger to anyone . [ scene_break ] paul : i do n't know what to say . when i look back on what i tried to do to you ... it 's as if i 'm looking at a stranger . tracy : yeah , well , looking at you now , i 'd have to agree . you know , for years i felt guilty taking dillon away from you , but i know now i was absolutely right . you 're a maniac . paul : i would never hurt my son . tracy : you certainly wo n't . would it surprise you to know that ned wants you dead ? do n't worry . i talked him down . he 's not capable of it anyway . i , on the other hand ... if you dare to make contact with dillon , if you so much as put up a prayer at bedtime , you will wake up in hell . i 'm watching you . [ scene_break ] carly : do you think for one second that sonny wants to put rocco in danger or any of us in danger ? julian 's already making threats . now , he 's probably just running his mouth , and he probably does n't have the power to back it up , but sonny has every right to be concerned . and you showing up here throwing around these ultimatums does n't help a damn thing , dante . sonny : carly , can you just take it easy ? carly : and let me be clear with you . violence is not the answer . you are smart enough to outmaneuver julian in other ways , and that 's exactly what you should do . dante : well , thank you , carly . that 's all i 'm asking you to do , sonny . bankrupt the guy . drive him out of town . i do n't know . pick some form of justice that does n't involve me being compromised to look the other way ... because if you do kill him , i 'm coming after you . sonny : can you both just relax ? i am not pulling the trigger on julian . dante : what ? you do n't think i know a hedge when i hear it ? sonny : believe what you want to believe , dante . but one thing i will guarantee -- i will always keep danger away from my family . dante : so will i . sonny : it 's all right . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] jordan : taylor , one second . i need to ask you one thing . the case against julian -- how the hell did it fall apart ? i mean , that -- that recording was golden . i know i did n't screw up the warrant . you threw it , did n't you ? why ? paul : ask ava . [ scene_break ] andré : would you mind sending morgan corinthos ' blood work over to the metro court hotel ? my temporary office is on the second floor . well , can you check again ? yes , morgan corinthos . my patient said that he came in for the blood draw . are you sure ? [ sighs ] okay . thank you . hi . ava : oh , morgan . what are you doing to yourself ? [ scene_break ] morgan : damn it , kiki . [ next_on ] olivia : wow ! morgan ( to nelle ) : i just found out my girlfriend is cheating on me . kiki ( to dillon ) : you do n't need to feel that way . you 're not alone . griffin ( to anna ) : when i see julian , i have a visceral reaction . alexis : get the hell out of my house , julian . sonny : you know why i 'm here ? i have to take action .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you got a minute ? carly : uh , that depends on what you want to tell me . sonny : uh ... what if i tell you that i think you have the most beautiful face in the world ? carly : [ laughs ] i would think that that 's really sweet . it is . but also transparent . you 're trying to charm me , which makes me nervous . so whatever it is you have to tell me ... sonny : well , it could be nothing , could be a game - changer . either way , we 're about to find out . so brick 's coming by with an update on that call on my private line that i told you about . carly : i thought you said that call came from russia . sonny : well , who the hell would be calling me from russia ? carly : i do n't know . sonny : maybe it was a wrong number . well , that 's why i 'm having brick do , you know , a follow - up and let me know , trace the call . carly : okay . are you worried ? sonny : well , at best , it 's a coincidence , but you know how much i love coincidences . carly : mm . well , i 'm happy to see brick . sonny : could you not flirt with him ? carly : i do n't flirt with him . he flirts with me . and i do n't mind . [ chuckles ] sonny : yeah , but see , you distract him , and i need him focused on my business . carly : i need him to focus on my business this time . sonny : right , but he 's a surveillance expert and a security guy . what would you need him for ? carly : [ gasps ] oh , josslyn ! oscar -- hi . sonny : hey . good to see you , oscar . how are you , buddy ? oscar : you , too . carly : so , what are you guys up to ? josslyn : um , well , pc is playing greenfield . sonny : yeah , you guys got a hell of a quarterback . his name is martinez . been recruited by a lot of schools . oscar : yeah , it should be a great game . josslyn : yeah . yeah . we 'd really love to go , um ... without a bodyguard . [ scene_break ] griffin : ava , i needed to come find you because i care about you . ava : as you do any member of your flock . griffin : i do n't have a flock , but i do have you , and i do n't want to lose this . ava : this ? what is this ? griffin : our friendship . that 's what drove me to the clinic . i know it may not be enough for you . but it 's ... this is honestly all i can say right now . ava : sure , griffin . it 's enough . [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan , this is getting out of control . i came back to be with you , to build the life that we hoped for together . nathan : yeah , well , that 's what i want , too , which is why i ca n't be worrying about tweets and gifts from fans and stuff . i 'm more worried about bills and rent . i hope you enjoyed going out to dinner . it might be the last time we get to do that for a while . maxie : well , then we 'll prepare to starve . is that why you were so distracted at dinner ? what are n't you saying ? nathan : i 'm saying i ... my days as a full - time detective might be over , max . jordan texted to make sure i was gon na be here tonight . i think she 's gon na fire me . [ scene_break ] jordan : okay , um ... i 'm gon na get back to work . stella : do n't rush off on my account . i have some news i 'm sure you 'll both find interesting . curtis : [ sighs ] i hope it 's good news . stella : it concerns me being here . i know i 've been in your way since i got out of the hospital . and you are a sweetheart for taking me in , and i love you for it . but now ... i think it 's time for me to think about leaving . i recovered from my stroke -- thank god . and my blood pressure is in the healthy range -- or it was until i walked in on the two of you . curtis : sorry about that . stella : you 're a grown man , curtis . and you need your space . and i need to be the independent woman i was in baltimore . curtis : auntie , i have really enjoyed you staying here . i have . and [ sighs ] i hope it was n't something i said or did that made you want to leave back to baltimore . stella : oh , i 'm not moving back . i just landed a great job right here . port charles is my new home . [ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm sorry , nathan . i know how much being a detective means to you . and if spinelli had n't ruined everything , you 'd still be anonymous . and i might even be working for nina again . maybe -- maybe we could go to portland . maybe my position there is still open . nathan : max , it 's not your problem , okay ? and i do n't expect you to fix it . yeah , spinelli kind of blew everything up when he thought i was cheating with amy , but i 'm the one who ran into the book launch and announced in grand fashion that i am ask man landers . i just could n't stand the thought of anybody , especially you , thinking that i was cheating . but none of that matters 'cause it 's done . it 's over . no matter what , i love you . maxie : i love you , too . oh , we need to get all this stuff out of here before jordan sees it . [ chuckles ] what are we gon na do with all this ? nathan : could take it to the hospital . i 'm sure the kids in peds would love it . [ scene_break ] stella : i went to my buddy felix 's church last sunday and saw him there . and he told me that one of gh 's social workers was retiring , so i applied for the position . today was my second interview . after they checked out my references , they offered me the position . i am now officially part of the gh team . curtis : so all of this under my nose , huh ? you know , you should have went into business with me . stella : [ laughs ] curtis : you 're craftier than i am . where do you think you get your skills from ? [ both laugh ] stella : anyway , now i can stay close to both my men . maybe tj and i can make up for lost time . it 's the best i can do at this point . curtis : well , congratulations , auntie . gh is lucky to have you . stella : [ chuckles ] thank you , darling . and rest assured , i will move in to my own place eventually . so you can carry on like adam and eve all hours of the day and night . jordan : yeah , okay . that 's my cue . um ... congratulations , stella . i 'm sure that tj will be thrilled . stella : i hope so . [ scene_break ] josslyn : it 's an important game . you know , the stands are gon na be packed . oscar and i want to sit with our friends . not devon . no offense . devon : no problem . oscar : there 's plenty of security . joss will definitely be safe . carly : i understand that you guys want to sit with your friends . so devon can sit a few rows behind you . close enough to watch ... mom ! ... far enough away to not intrude . what ? josslyn : so there 's gon na be an entire stadium full of screaming pc high football fans and one guy in a suit staring at me the whole time . gee . no one will notice that . sonny : josslyn . josslyn . i understand where you 're coming from . it -- [ sighs ] it sucks having bodyguards , but that 's a fact of your life right now . like seatbelts . you may never need them , but if you do get in an accident , it could save your life . josslyn : okay , well , nobody 's coming after me . sonny : probably not -- i 'd say it 's a million - to - one shot . but since i have protection , right ? and i can take care of you , make sure nothing happens to you , i can eliminate that one - in - a - million chance . and i 'm sure oscar would appreciate that , right ? oscar : he 's right , joss . i would never want anything to happen to you . [ scene_break ] griffin : was i right ? was i the reason you went to the clinic ? yeah . ava : yeah . you were -- at first . griffin : ava , i 'm so sorry . ava : it 's just that your interest in me , it gave me hope that -- that i could be the woman that i once was . and then when you rejected me , i became fixated on the idea of becoming that woman again . but even if my face had been completely restored at that clinic , i know now that i can never be the person that i once was . and maybe that 's a good thing . griffin : why do you say that ? ava : because healing my face , it is n't the same as healing myself . i mean , sure , i want to be held . i want to be loved ... but my insides were all mangled up . and i realized that i have to heal that part of myself , too . griffin : ava , you risked your life to save a stranger . ava : [ laughs ] yeah . i blew any chance i had of having my face fully restored , but that 's okay , right ? there 's nothing i can do about it now . i just have to go for it . this is me . this is the new me , inside and out . take it or leave it . griffin : yeah , but what you did was truly selfless . but i have to ask , i have to know , did you put yourself in danger , because you wanted to help somebody else , or because you just ... you just gave up , you did n't care about what happened to you ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay , i know you guys are n't gon na betray our trust and try and ditch devon . right ? you would n't do that ? josslyn : mom ! oscar : no , ma'am . josslyn : mom . carly : okay . all right . you can leave after i get a picture . let me see your phone . josslyn : no , you do n't need a picture . carly : yes , i do . josslyn : mom , no . no ! uncle sonny ... carly : it 's fine . you can go over here . josslyn : please make her stop ? ! sonny : you ca n't stop her when she gets like this . carly : you 're right . you ca n't . okay . get together and smile ! aww . [ chuckles ] oh , my god . that 's so good ! oh , did you see that ? josslyn : okay , okay . carly : oscar , do you want me to send this to your mom ? oscar : thanks . that 's so nice . but if we do n't leave now , we 'll miss the kickoff . josslyn : yeah . yeah . we really need to go . carly : okay . okay . go , go , go . bye , bye , bye . all right . sonny : i got to tell you , that was kind of smooth . carly : yeah . sonny : like , send it to ... carly : i know . we 're going to have to meet her eventually , though , you know . sonny : yeah , but he 's going to want to do it later . carly : i know , i just ... sonny : you know why . carly : we 've talked about this . i think that oscar 's afraid that his mom is gon na find out that he 's dating the stepdaughter of the local crime lord , and maybe not be too happy about it . sonny : and if she does , what ? carly : well , then i 'm gon na do cartwheels and backflips and do everything i can to reassure her . sonny : i thought you were n't into josslyn dating . carly : i 'm not into josslyn dating -- at all . she 's too young . sonny : she does n't think so . carly : no , she does n't . so if she 's going to date , i 'd like her to date oscar . sonny : yeah , i guess he 's an all right kind of guy . carly : yes . and look , look , look . aww ! look how cute they are . sonny : [ laughs ] yeah . carly : yeah ? [ scene_break ] ava : i was not being intentionally reckless with my life . i was just sort of curious . i mean , here was this man with these dark glasses on and this safety restraint on his face . and then he started showing signs of life . and i was intrigued . and then i saw that they were pumping him with enough drugs to fell a rhino . and that 's when i decided that i would help him if i could . griffin : why ? i mean , like , what inside , like -- what made you want to do it ? ava : please do n't be impressed . because , really , i did n't do much . all i did was manage to get him to write down a phone number . oh , and i left the pen with him , which was a big mistake , because he used it to try to escape . and it took three orderlies and a syringe full of special k to stop him . and klein was furious , of course , and he threatened to throw me out . so i gave him the number . griffin : a moment of weakness . i mean , you more than made up for it by helping him escape . ava : oh , i 'm not at all as noble as you 're making me sound . really . patient 6 was handcuffed to a bed , and he was using a paperclip to pick the lock . and he dropped the clip , and i gave it back to him . and that 's it . that 's all . that is the extent of my heroics . griffin : so you 're not only courageous , you also modest , too . ava : [ laughs ] you 're really laying it on thick . griffin : you saved a man 's life . and by doing so , it sounds like you 've saved yourself . ava : karma , huh ? griffin : more like divine intervention . after all , patient 6 led me to the clinic . he told me how to find it . and as i said before , i met him in a church . ava : well , st. petersburg is a very big city . how did you even know where to start looking ? griffin : sonny helped me . [ scene_break ] carly : oh ! [ laughs ] can i get you a drink ? brick : poured by your own lovely hands ? carly : of course ! bourbon , straight ? brick : you remembered . carly : always . sonny : brick , brick . stop flirting with my wife . brick : perks of the job , man . perks of the job . sonny : by the way , did you get any progress on the call from russia ? [ scene_break ] ava : sonny helped you ? griffin : i needed his resources , so i appealed to his better nature . ava : i was n't aware that he had a better nature . griffin : listen , sonny was already dealing with some mysterious phone call on his private line from russia . he was able to narrow the location to somewhere near your clinic . ava : hold on . that 's crazy . the number that patient 6 gave me -- it had a port charles area code , so i knew there was a connection . why would he have sonny 's number ? who was patient 6 to sonny ? [ scene_break ] nathan : last one . you okay ? maxie : yeah . i will be . these women are just so out of control . no matter what , i 'm proud of you for helping amy and her brother . and i 've never been this close to an internet sensation before , so ... nathan : at least one of us likes the attention . maxie : [ chuckles ] nathan : i hate it . especially for something i 'm not even doing . maxie : a million women ca n't be wrong . you are sexy and wise . let 's face it -- you 're basically the perfect man . [ chuckles ] do n't forget to call me when your shift ends . nathan : yeah . hopefully sooner rather than later . bye . commissioner . jordan : detective . i need to speak with you . privately . now . [ scene_break ] brick : traced a call to a cell phone . sonny : could you get into the account ? brick : yeah , for all the good it did . bills are paid through a swiss bank . sonny : someone 's going through a lot of trouble to cover their tracks . brick : i do n't think so . traced other calls from the same phone . most were in or around st. petersburg . sonny : any international calls ? brick : yeah . london , paris , tokyo . even a couple to manhattan . all private lines . all really rich people . nobody associated with your line of work . carly : that does n't make any sense . sonny : yeah , it does if griffin was right -- and the call came from ava . [ scene_break ] ava : i can only assume that klein called the number that patient 6 gave me , and it turned out to be sonny 's . griffin : [ sighing ] i do n't know . i mean , i think tying patient 6 to sonny is a big leap . ava : well , i mean , the whole thing 's pretty improbable , do n't you think ? starting out with you being there at all . when did you go and see sonny ? griffin : uh ... i do n't know . i 'm mixed up with all the travel . but i would say just over 24 hours ago . ava : well , that was about when i gave klein the number . why else would sonny get a call from russia ? griffin : i do n't know . i - i - i - i do n't know . but when i told sonny you were in st. petersburg , he assumed you were working with his enemies . ava : well , that stands to reason . why would he help you find me ? griffin : oh , it was a happy accident . i - i went to sonny to ask for help in finding you . he was in the process of turning me down when he referenced a call from st. petersburg . i thought it was you reaching out for help . ava : no . no , it 's patient 6 that was trying to reach out for help . and i got the feeling that he knew the person -- person turns out to be sonny -- would come and get him . no matter what . griffin : like i came and got you . [ scene_break ] josslyn : sorry , um , to drag you away from the game . i guess i was n't really into football all that much . oscar : do n't be sorry . i feel the same way . josslyn : you do ? oscar : i do n't really get football . guys plowing into each other . getting concussions . josslyn : i know , right ? on purpose . oscar : it 's insane . josslyn : yeah . oscar : you , uh , think devon will tell your mom and sonny we left the game early ? josslyn : i mean , it should n't matter . right ? it 's not like we went off on our own . devon 's still here -- watching every move we make . god , i wish my parents would n't stress all the time . you know , the one , single solitary thing that my dad and sonny actually agree on is making sure i 'm constantly protected . oscar : so your dad is in favor of the whole `` bodyguard `` thing ? josslyn : oh , yeah . he calls it a `` necessary evil . `` he checks in on me everyday no matter where he is . oscar : sounds sweet . josslyn : do you miss having a dad ? oscar : uh , you ca n't really miss something you 've never had . i do n't even know my father 's name or anything about him . and my mom , she just -- she gets so tight when i ask about him . i do n't anymore . i do n't know . she works so hard , i do n't want to make her feel bad . josslyn : well , yeah , but -- but what about you ? are n't you curious ? would n't you like to know who your father is ? [ scene_break ] stella : i bought this to celebrate . curtis : wow . that 's a fancy bottle . you sure you should be drinking ? stella : i checked , and it 's okay every now and then . which is fine with me , since i only drink on special occasions . curtis : well , this certainly qualifies . stella : yes . [ laughs ] curtis : yeah , i think it 's real cool that you 're working at gh . you know , you 've got the built - in community at the hospital . hell , you 're already making friends . i 'm gon na go get glasses for this . stella : okay . so what you 're saying is , you hope i 'll be busy enough to stop interfering with you and jordan . curtis : well , i mean , there 's that . stella : mm - hmm . curtis : but i think it 's -- i think it 's perfectly healthy that you 're going on with your life . you are a beautiful , vibrant woman . stella : [ chuckles ] curtis : all right , let me get this . ah . there we go . stella : so what you 're saying is , you hope i find me a boyfriend or a group of friends that 'll keep me so busy i 'll stop meddling in your love life ? curtis : well , yeah , now that you mentioned it . stella : [ laughs ] curtis : no , but seriously . what 's wrong with finding a nice guy who will appreciate you for the phenomenal woman that you are ? so , here 's to you , phenomenal woman . stella : oh ! [ chuckles ] ooh ! curtis : [ laughs ] stella : [ sighs ] that 's nice , curtis . it 's nice , but it 's not gon na happen . i already had the great love of my life . curtis : marcus ? stella : he was it . and there 'll never be another one . not for me . curtis : hmm . [ scene_break ] griffin : okay , first , let me apologize for not being upfront about the blog . okay ? i did n't know that it was gon na blow up the way that it did , and i can assure you that i will continue to protect and serve the people of port charles as my first priority . jordan : are you done ? griffin : yeah . okay . jordan : i was surprised to learn that you are ask man landers . i wish you would have come to me before this whole thing became a pr event . griffin : i know . i know . and i should have made a full disclosure . jordan : with that said , you are one of my best detectives . and as long as you can assure me that your activities as ask man landers wo n't interfere with your work ... griffin : they wo n't . you have my word . jordan : that 's all i need to hear . you can relax . i am not gon na fire you . griffin : really ? really ? oh ! thank you . okay , so why 'd you call me in here like this ? jordan : because i need your advice . i have a situation with my boyfriend 's aunt . and ... i need you to help me fix it . griffin : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] amy : sorry to keep you waiting . we were passing out all those goodies you dropped off . [ chuckles ] the kids in peds are thrilled . maxie : great . it was nathan 's idea to send that stuff over . he 'll be happy to know all of the ask man landers swag went to a worthy cause . amy : speaking of ask man landers , how are you and nathan dealing with all of the publicity ? maxie : it 's ... an adjustment . [ cell phone chiming ] maxie : [ scoffs ] are you seeing these tweets ? amy : [ laughs ] yeah . just ignore that one with you as a gorilla . maxie : it 's a grizzly bear . amy : uh , nope . there 's a new one with a gorilla [ laughing ] maxie : and it 's ... the point is nathan 's reaching superstar status online for work that you 're doing . how are you handling that ? does n't it bother you in the least ? amy : oh , my . no . i have no problem with nathan being famous . it was never about that for me . in fact , nathan coming out as ask man landers has worked out better than i could have ever dreamed . the book is already on backorder . we 've sold so many copies . maxie : [ sighs ] amy : and i can get chet the best care and the quality of life that i did n't think was possible . all because of your wonderful , generous husband . maxie : yeah , well , like i told him , i 'm really proud . amy : what 's it like being married to someone everyone adores ? maxie : oh , it 's a blast . amy : mm - hmm . must be a change for you to watch nathan shine . when we were in high school , you were the one in the spotlight . maxie : what are you talking about ? i was an outcast because of my heart . amy : [ laughs ] give it up ! you were the queen of the corridor between classes . maxie : i struggled a lot . you have no idea what it 's like to pick out a great outfit everyday . amy : [ scoffs ] maxie : to be polished and upbeat , to get every cheer and dance move right on the first run through , to know people are gossiping behind your back just waiting for you to blow it . to make sure your makeup 's perfect . i literally dreaded every pimple and bad hair day . amy : but you succeeded . brilliantly . maxie jones -- cheer captain , head of the popular group . [ chuckles ] now that nathan 's getting all of the attention , you ca n't stand it . [ scene_break ] jordan : so curtis has made it clear that we 're in love , and we love each other and we 're gon na stay together . but stella , she will not back off . nathan : hmm . you know if she 's had a partner or somebody she loves ? jordan : yeah . i think she was engaged at one time . but , you know , she ended the relationship so that she could raise curtis and his brother . i do n't know . that was a long time ago . i - i - i do n't ... i 'm pretty sure she has n't had anyone since . nathan : maybe she 's -- maybe she 's grieving her sacrifice , you know , now that everybody 's grown and gone . or i do n't know , maybe she 's afraid to love again . maybe her heart 's broken . it 's actually kind of sad . i do n't even know the woman . i feel really sorry for her . [ scene_break ] curtis : i know you sacrificed a lot to raise tommy and me . and i just want you to know that i am eternally grateful . stella : oh , honey . i 'm not looking for your gratitude . you and tommy were my family . there 's nothing i would n't do for you . i only told you about marcus , so you 'd know why i 'm not interested in anyone else . no man could measure up . curtis : wow . so have you seen him or talked to him ? stella : no . see . that 's where the game gets tricky . see , oftentimes , when we 're not around our loved ones , we elevate them to hero status . and we only remember the good stuff about them . [ scoffs ] believe me , marcus had his faults , but that does n't change the way i feel about him , though . curtis : all right . well , uh , just promise me you 'll stay open to the idea of possibly dating again . stella : so i can stop meddling in your scandalous love life . [ chuckles ] curtis : no , aunt stella . [ laughs ] so you can get your groove back . stella : oh ! [ laughs ] boy . [ both laugh ] [ scene_break ] oscar : it 's kind of weird . knowing someone 's out there that made me , and i do n't know him . that i 'm walking around with his genetic code . maybe he gave me a gene that likes hanging out with you . josslyn : so do n't you want to know who gave you such great taste ? oscar : [ laughs ] absolutely , but i ca n't without upsetting my mom , and i wo n't do that , so -- it 's impossible . josslyn : oscar , nothing 's impossible . [ scene_break ] sonny : griffin said that ava was in st. petersburg at some clinic to restore her face . carly : is that even possible ? sonny : i do n't know . now the other calls , what do you think ? brick : could be from the plastic surgery clinic . sonny : you think she borrowed the doctor 's phone ? carly : why ? why call your business line ? how did she even get that number ? morgan , he probably gave it to her . sonny : well , she was probably checking in on avery , you know . when no one answered the house phone , she called the cell phone . carly : so she called your business line knowing you wo n't recognize the number , hoping you 'd pick up . sonny : and i did , but ava did n't say anything . she probably figured that i 'd hang up when i heard her voice . carly : huh ! brick : so , mystery solved ? sonny : okay , great ! thanks , brick . carly : hold on , brick . i have a job that requires your expertise . brick : just tell me what you need . [ scene_break ] ava : you should be proud of yourself standing up to sonny like a man . do n't you ever think of yourself like that instead of as a priest , just as a man . griffin : you 're exhausted . you should get some rest . i 'll text kiki when we land . ava : good . thank you .

[ scene_break ] lucky : come here . sit down . with all of the things that i 've been agonizing over , you being pregnant has never crossed my mind . maxie : are you unhappy about it ? lucky : i do n't know how i feel ; it has n't sunken in . just -- ok , just promise me you wo n't tell anybody about this yet . maxie : i 'm not ashamed of having your baby , lucky , and i would never try and keep it out of your life like elizabeth . lucky : i did n't hear a promise . maxie : i 'm going to have to tell dr. lee eventually -- she 's my gynecologist . lucky : ok . that 's ok . you know what ? you 're covered by doctor / patient confidentiality . maxie : it 's only going to last for so long . i mean , eventually , my condition 's going to be obvious . lucky : well , maybe by then , we 'll have some idea of how to deal with this . maxie : i already know . i 'm going to keep this baby whether you want me to or not . it 's a part of you that i 'm always going to have with me , and i can raise it on my own . i 'm sure mac will let me live at home -- once he gets over wanting to kill you . lucky : i -- slow down ! it 's going way too fast . i need to think . maxie : you 're right . sorry . [ lucky sighs ] maxie : i should n't have come all the way here and just dumped this on you . that was selfish of me , and that 's an old habit i 'm trying to kick . i do n't want to stress you out or make you stray off the program or whatever they call it . i want you to concentrate on getting better . i 'll handle this . the first thing i have to do is explain to elizabeth that the pregnancy was an accident , and i know you want to get back together with her . i 'm not trying to be an obstacle . lucky : no , just stay away from elizabeth . maxie : fine . i 'm just trying to help . i 'll do whatever you say . after all , we are in this together . [ scene_break ] jason : i want -- i want sam to be ok . but at this point , no matter what i do , i end up hurting her somehow . carly : oh , that 's not true . it does n't mean you stop trying to reconnect . look at me -- i have taken love on over and over again with varying degrees of success and failures . but no matter how many times it disappoints me , i pick myself up , i dust myself off , and i go back in swinging . you got to take the ride , jason . life is n't nearly as fun without it . you know i 'm right . you 're just too jaded right now to tell me i 'm right . jason : it 's just i ca n't turn my back on elizabeth , carly . carly : oh . can you please for once think about yourself , instead of doing what you think is best for everyone else ? [ scene_break ] colleen : my plan is working even better than i 'd hoped . nikolas thinks it 's all helena . not just his fall , but alfred 's accident , as well . i hope you understand i did n't mean for your dad to be seriously hurt . i -- i just needed him vulnerable for a while . i want nikolas and , given time , he 'll want me , too -- once he 's seen all my sterling qualities . once he realizes that everything he 's looking for is right under his nose -- the perfect surrogate mother , partner , and wife . and if helena should interfere -- well , god help her . helena may think she 's the big , bad wolf in this scenario . but she has no idea what i 'm capable of .

[ robin laughs ] robin : i know . and i am not going to live in fear or hide behind my father . but i will be open to the fact that you care about me . i do n't want to lose you . patrick : vice versa . i 'm already starting to regret this trip . robin : it 's important . you should go . dr. legrasse could help laura spencer . patrick : yeah , or it could be nothing more than a glorified hair tonic salesman . robin : oh , are you starting to feel guilty because you 're only going to prove me wrong ? patrick : i 'm going to prove you right . robin : oh . and why would you do that ? patrick : i do n't want my inbred cynicism to get in the way of someone getting help . robin : well , i want to be right about this . i know that you do n't know laura , but she 's remarkable . she has a lot to offer , and her family really needs her right now . patrick : all right . what can i bring you back ? robin : hmm . just you . patrick : just me ? all right . well , that i can happily manage . [ scene_break ] bernie : no , no , you misunderstand . mr. corinthos does not want the repairs of his wife 's house finished in a timely manner . the whole idea is for it to take a couple of weeks at least . yeah , that 's right . he wants you to drag your feet . he wants his wife in residence for as long as possible .

[ scene_break ] olivia : [ moaning ] oh ... no . it 's just -- johnny : okay , that right there was not the kiss of a woman who 's in love with somebody else . olivia : do you want me to say it , john ? okay . you turn me on , all right ? like i ca n't even believe . it 's physical . and it 's visceral , and i know that you 'll always be able to get me respond to you that way , but that 's all that it is , okay ? that was a moment . and the moment has passed . johnny : so you 're really doing this ? olivia : yes . i am . okay , and it 's not fair of you to make it difficult for me , because we had an agreement in the beginning that we were going to take this ride wherever it led . and when it did n't work for one of us or for both of us , we were going to let the other one go , with no hard feelings , right ? no harm , no foul , no apologies . and i 'm making that decision now , okay ? so you have to respect it . johnny : okay . then i 'm going to do exactly what you want , and i 'm going to leave . because i ca n't stand to listen to that crap that 's coming out of your mouth anymore . i know you . and something else is going on here . but if you do n't trust me enough ... if you wo n't trust me enough to tell me exactly what 's going on , to tell me the truth ... well , i guess we did n't have what i thought we did in the first place . good luck with sonny . olivia : [ sobbing ] i need to see you . please , as soon as possible .

[ sighs ] if you give dominic another chance . sonny : all right , can you justify him stepping up for you ? can you prove to me that you can be a lieutenant in my organization ? dominic : absolutely . i want to prove myself . no more arguments , no hesitations , no mistakes . sonny : okay , just because jason says so , i 'm gon na let you stay in . dominic : thank you . sonny : but consider yourself on probation . dominic : i understand . sonny : do not make me regret this . dominic : not a chance , sir . sonny : get out of here . [ door opens and closes ] sonny : why 'd you step up for dominic ? jason : because i knew you did n't want to fire him . [ scene_break ] [ knocking on door ] jax : ooh , what happened ? did sonny find out dante 's undercover ? olivia : no . it 's dante , but it 's not that . oh , god . it 's claudia . claudia knows , jax . she knows . she knows that dominic is dante , and she knows that sonny 's his father . jax : how 'd that happen ? olivia : [ sighs ] my stupid cousin was running her mouth off outside of jake 's . and i told her , i begged her a million times , `` please , please keep your mouth shut . `` but she could n't do it . she would n't do it . claudia was lurking somewhere around , and now i 'm living my worst nightmare . jax , i just -- oh , god , olivia : she wants me away from johnny . jax : could be worse . olivia : i just ... i just want to kill her . i just want to rip her larynx out with my fingernails . i threw away the best man that i 've ever known , jax . a man that i -- i love him , and i trashed him today because that spiteful bitch has the power to blow my kid 's life apart . jax : i 'm sorry . i really am . olivia : yeah , well , you know what ? i know a couple things , too , okay ? i know a couple things about what claudia 's done and a couple things about what she 's capable of . maybe it 's time for me to start spilling , make that sociopath pay for what she did to michael . [ scene_break ] [ crickets chirping ] claudia : damn it . [ scene_break ] molly : oh , how about jessica ? it means `` rich , `` 'cause come on , let 's face it , that 's what the baby 's gon na be . carly : you do n't like josslyn ? molly : no , it 's not that . i just think you should consider all the options . oh , here 's one -- jadwiga . polish . carly : hmm . molly : it means `` the contentious one , `` which is perfect for your daughter . no offense . kristina : let it rest , molly . carly gets to name her daughter whatever she wants . carly : what do you think ? kristina : josslyn john jacks ... it 's different . josslyn 's okay . it reminds me of joss stone . but john i 'm not so sure about . carly : that 's jax 's father 's name . kristina : well , there you go . michael : yeah , and i mean , it does n't even matter 'cause in the end , whatever you name her , you 're gon na find a way to call the baby jace . what do you want to bet ? carly : that 's a bet you 're gon na lose , and you will be so , so sorry . claudia : i 'm sorry , michael . i never meant for you to get shot . i was trying to protect my brother , not that that excuses what i did . carly : michael ? you okay ? morgan : michael 's been doing that a lot lately . carly : hey . michael ? michael : what ? huh ? carly : i do n't know . you just kind of checked out for a minute there . were you remembering something else ? [ scene_break ] jax : i understand that you 're angry , okay ? olivia : angry ? angry , jax , angry does not begin to cover what 's going on in here . jax : okay , okay . you want to tear claudia apart . i understand that . but you 've got to be careful not to overreact in the heat of the moment . besides , what claudia did to michael is not your secret to tell . it 's mine . when carly gives birth , and she 's safe , i will deal with claudia . okay ? olivia : what if i ca n't wait that long ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i am disappointed . i meant it when i said i had high hopes dominic , you know , but ... the guy has great potential , and i am grateful that he saved morgan 's life , but i ca n't let because i 'm grateful -- i 'm not blind and stupid . if he ca n't do a simple assignment , then i do n't want him around . jason : okay , i 'm sure dominic had every intention of taking soto out . i 'm sure that he did n't anticipate having any problems . i mean , look the guy has killed before , although they were in shootouts , and you 're jacked up on adrenaline , and it 's either you or the other guy . that 's easy . it 's a whole other story when you 're taking somebody you 've worked with out into the woods , and you 're pulling that trigger when he 's staring you right in the eyes begging for his life . sonny : that 's a point . jason : so i do n't think he 's incompetent . sonny , that type of work , it 's specialized . not everybody 's cut out for it . sonny : i guess maybe i judged him harshly . i like the guy . i like his energy . i like his ... i just appreciate you stepping up for him . jason : i 'm glad it worked out . anything else ? sonny : no . i got ta -- we need to talk about claudia .

[ scene_break ] olivia : you know , i could be flexible . i do n't have to tell sonny that claudia was responsible for his kid almost getting killed . jax : oh , that 's good . olivia : i 'll just go right to jason . he would love to know what claudia did . and she could say whatever she wanted . jason would n't give a damn . he would shoot that bitch right where she stood and make the world a better place . jax : and you could live with that , hmm ? being the reason jason killed someone ? olivia : someone ? it 's claudia , jax . yeah . i would think that i was protecting all the people that i love from the heinous acts that she will definitely commit in the future . i 'd feel like i was protecting johnny from her sick , twisted obsession . i was protecting my son from finding out his father is the very thing that he fights against every time he picks up a badge . so , yeah . i could carry that on my conscience to protect the people that i love . [ scene_break ] jason : have you found proof that claudia had something to do with michael 's shooting ? sonny : you always go to the exact same place , accusing claudia , trying to prove she 's guilty . can we stop that ? jason : well , okay . can you just define `` stop `` for me , then , please ? sonny : well , we all know that you hate her , right ? uh , but just , you know , look . every time you guys are in the same room , right , there 's a lot of bad energy . if you do n't want to be near her , just stay away from her . jason : okay . first of all , you know i do n't like her , and i do n't trust her , and i would do anything for you -- i ca n't even pretend to do that . sonny : i 'm not asking you to be her best friend , but just have some compassion . i mean she did -- you know , she just lost a baby that my daughter , you know , was responsible for . and when a woman loses a baby , it 's a lot of pain , a lot of disappointment . i 'm just asking you to treat her with just a little respect . [ scene_break ] claudia : why are you acting so shy ? are n't you the one who was telling me how good we could be together ? dominic : yean . and then , you turned me down flat , treated me like the gum on your shoe when you were n't actively threatening my life . claudia : changed my mind . dominic : and that is the question -- why ? what 's the agenda ? claudia : why do n't you stop thinking so much and just focus on what 's coming ?
