[ scene_break ] duke : i 'm sorry that you 've suffered so much , but -- does n't change the way that i feel about you . anna : yes , but it should change it because i 'm a completely different woman to the one that you were in love with . duke : you 're exactly the woman that i remembered , anna . and that 's all i had were memories of you -- of your hair , your eyes -- your smile . anna : oh . duke : we fit together , anna . anna : oh , stop it . that 's enough . duke : is it ? i 'm here now . we love each other . it 's -- it 's our anniversary , anna . anna : of a marriage that ended years ago . duke : not because we wanted it that way . we -- we were torn apart . our lives were blown apart . but now we have a chance to start all over again . anna : it 's not that simple . duke : because of spencer ? [ scene_break ] trey : whoa , wait . i thought you were on your own . joe jr. : not completely . trey : so someone 's helping you . joe jr. : well , kind of a silent partner , except he 's not that silent anymore -- you know , someone with money and connections who put this whole plan in motion . trey : oh , yeah , this wonderful plan to use me and kill my wife ? joe jr. : no , the plan was -- the plan , son , was to take sonny down -- to make him pay for all those years that he was living off of our territory , our money . trey : yeah , how does killing kristina solve any of that , dad ? joe jr. : 'cause all of his wealth was put into kristina 's name . if she had died , it would have went to her and then to her husband -- to you . he took care of that . trey : oh , your silent partner ? joe jr. : like i said , he 's a very powerful guy . trey : give me a name , dad . who is this person ? [ scene_break ] jason : i 'll accept -- whatever you decide . i just need to know . is it -- is it mcbain ? sam : no . i mean , i care about him , but he has nothing to do with this . jason : then who ? sam : my son . i love you , jason , but my son has to be my first priority . jason : a - are you afraid that he wo n't be safe with me ? sam : no . no , i know you would protect him with your life . i know that . but my son needs more than that . he needs for you to love him . jason : i do . sam : i 've got to ask you something , and i -- i 'm not doing it to punish you , but it 's just -- it 's really important . you said that you were afraid that when you looked at my son , you would always see franco . jason : i was wrong about that . sam : you were honest . but then , on the roof last night , you told heather that you loved him and you could be his father . did you say that because you wanted to save him or because you meant it ? [ scene_break ] carly : so where was the baby when heather kidnapped him ? michael : llanview , pennsylvania , with a woman named téa delgado . carly : todd 's ex - wife ? michael : he was driving her to the hospital the night of the storm , and their car broke down . she had her baby at a bus stop . carly : it was her baby that did n't make it . michael : yeah . carly : oh , god . michael : and somehow , during the confusion , heather switched the babies . carly : god , how awful for téa . and todd . i mean , i know how badly he wanted to help her . she took the wrong baby home ? [ scene_break ] todd : starr , there are things that you do n't understand . the whole night was out of control . starr : you are unbelievable . no matter how high the body count , it 's just never your fault , is it ? todd : this is not my fault . starr : do you know how many times you have sworn to me , to mom , and to aunt viki that it was n't your fault , only to get caught , come clean , and swear that this time it 's different . todd : but this time , it is different . starr : is it ? goodbye . todd : i just got caught up in something . wait a second , starr . hold on a minute . look , i - i 'll tell you whatever you want to know , okay ? i 'll answer all of your questions , and then you can decide if you 're gon na believe me or write me off . starr : talk . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , todd is always saying how selfish he is . but i know he was really worried about téa . this is probably really hard on him , and he 's probably blaming himself . michael : from the things starr has told me about her dad , he seems pretty messed up . carly : i know , i know . and whatever happened between him and téa , i know that he still cares about her , so this is probably hard on both of them . almost feel guilty for being so happy for jason . michael : do you think jason and sam are gon na get back together ? carly : i hope so . michael : since when ? carly : since that 's what jason wants . look , sam gets on my nerves -- i do n't think she deserves jason -- but i 'm gon na do everything in my power to push them together . michael : you know what jason would really like ? carly : he would tell me to stay out of it . michael : so maybe you should . carly : if jason convinces himself that sam and the baby are better off without him , he 's gon na walk away . and i have to stop him . want to come with me ? michael : not a chance . i got to go see starr . téa is almost like a mother to her . [ scene_break ] todd : téa 's freaking out , so she begs me to do something . i wrap the kid in a scarf , and i take off , but we 're in the middle of nowhere , and -- i mean , there 's a parked car , but it 's locked . and then i see a light . and it 's a cabin . i get to the cabin , and there 's heather . and heather says she 's great with kids , so i give the child to heather , and heather does everything she can . she does the best that she can , but -- and then she takes off to bury anthony zacchara , and i 'm -- with this child , my nephew -- who never had a chance , never took a breath -- and i 'm saying myself , `` what am i going to do ? how am i going to tell téa ? `` starr : why did n't you just tell téa ? todd : téa lost victor because of me . starr : it was awful , but it was n't your fault this time . todd : i was n't gon na be the one to tell her that her son was gone . and then sam morgan barges through the door , passes out in the middle of the floor . and i hear a baby outside . and i go onto the porch , and there 's this beautiful , healthy child . téa appears out of nowhere -- and she 's filled with hope , and she 's filled with love , and she starts reaching for this kid , and she starts calling him her baby , and i panic . i freeze -- me . i do n't have any words . [ sighs ] and she bursts into tears , and she says , `` thank you . `` and she says that if she had lost the child -- she would not have been able to go on . so i -- i gave her the baby . starr , i lie all the time . i lie to everyone all the time . i did n't mean to lie this time . i did n't . it just happened . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't blame you for having doubts . i let -- i let my hate for franco blind me to something that i 've always known . loving a child is n't about dna . i want to -- i want to be there for danny . every day . i want to help him learn . i want to help him grow . sam , i want to be his father . sam : [ sniffles ] the worst thing for danny would be to try this -- and have it not work out , jason . jason : i know -- i know -- i know that i hurt you . and i 'm never gon na make that mistake again . i will never leave you or danny . i want to love you both forever , sam . [ scene_break ] dante : so , uh -- my request is of a personal nature . epiphany : in what way ? dante : in the way that it , uh , involves me personally . epiphany : look , detective , i 'm not psychic , so unless you want to bring your mother in for a consult -- dante : no , no ! no , absolutely not . that 's not , uh -- look , uh , lulu and i are thinking about taking that next step in starting a family . epiphany : well , congratulations . dante : thank you , thank you . i mean , we 're actually not thinking about it . we 're actually actively trying , and when i say `` active , `` i mean we 're making a dedicated effort to , you know -- but -- well , it 's just kind of taking a little longer than anticipated , and i wanted to know if my -- epiphany : so you need a sperm count . dante : [ chuckles nervously ] yeah . [ scene_break ] luke : where the hell has he been all this time , and why now ? why has he broken cover and showed up here ? lulu : have you asked him ? luke : he 's here for anna . lulu : you 're not gon na let that happen . luke : hell , no . well , he says they 're still married and that i lost her the minute he showed up . [ scene_break ] anna : after robin died , luke was a -- he gave me unconditional support . he was there at the funeral . he helped me through the first agonizing weeks , and -- over time , he became very important . where it 's going ? i -- i 'm not even sure . but we are more than friends . satisfied ? duke : not exactly . anna : well , i do n't know what more i can say . duke : i say good riddance to him . i do n't think he 's good enough for you . [ scene_break ] luke : i just do n't get it . why is a smart woman like anna not more suspicious of this dude calling himself lavery ? lulu : well , he 's her ex . they have history . he has n't lied to her . luke : not that i can prove . yet . i mean , it just sounds like they might still be together if he had n't been kidnapped . luke : well , he was n't just kidnapped , according to him . get this -- he says he was abducted from the witness protection program , snatched from wherever he was relocated and left to rot in a turkish prison . does that sound plausible to you ? lulu : uh , yeah , there 's a lot of holes in the story . but what 's the alternative ? luke : only one -- duke ai n't duke . [ scene_break ] go ! jason : i love you -- and danny . just i hope it 's not too late for you to believe that . sam : he 's probably gon na be hungry -- when he wakes up . i 'm gon na go get a bottle . jason : okay . come here , little guy . oh , yeah . you know what ? uh , i owe you and your mom an apology . it was n't fair to you . and i do n't know if she 's gon na believe in me again . or if i 'm gon na get the chance to watch you grow -- just be there for you . carly : hey , jason . jason : hey . carly : is this him ? jason : this is him . yeah , he 's sleeping right now . carly : oh ! oh , my god . he 's beautiful . jason : you want to hold him ? carly : no , he looks so perfect and peaceful in your arms . oh , you know , you 're the best father ? do you believe that ? please tell me you 're going to be this little baby 's father . jason : that 's , uh -- that 's up to sam . carly : up to sam ? if she lets you go and she deprives this beautiful little boy of your love , she 's a bigger fool than i thought . jason : carly , can you not fight for me ? carly : you gave her the biggest miracle . you found her baby after heather gave him away . look at the ear . jason : why is it only heather ? carly : what are you talking about ? jason : your friend todd was involved . [ scene_break ] todd : what would you have done , starr ? you gon na tear an infant from téa 's arms ? starr : you had sam thinking that her baby died . did what i went through -- losing hope -- did that mean anything to you ? todd : what happened to you hurt me worse than anything that had ever happened to me before . starr : then how could you inflict that pain on someone else ? todd : heather lied to me . she told me that sam had gone to that cabin to abandon her child . starr : so you just believed heather ? todd : what other reason could a woman possibly have to be in a shack in the middle of the woods , in the middle of the night , in the middle of a storm ? she left her child on a porch ! i gave her a job ! starr : you gave her a job for a baby . todd : i do n't know why i did that ! why would i let sam get so close to me ? she almost figured everything out . why would i take such a stupid risk ? starr : because maybe that 's what you wanted . maybe you wanted to get caught . todd : i -- why would i want to get caught ? starr : so that the baby could return to its real mother . todd : well , baby 's home now . and téa hates me again . everything is right in the world . starr : right . so you 're going to confess . are n't you ? todd : could n't do it . [ sighs ] i just could n't tell téa . hoping you wo n't , either . [ scene_break ] epiphany : i 'll stand guard . dante : that supposed to make this easier ? epiphany : look , you go in there , do that . i will have a lab technician take it and run an analysis . completely confidential . dante : thank you . epiphany : go ahead , detective -- fill ' er up ! [ scene_break ] lulu : if duke 's not duke , then who is he ? luke : here 's what i know . duke lavery was in the witness protection program . the feds faked his death with an explosion . and then sometime later -- i 'm not sure when -- some guy named jonathan paget made contact with anna . he did n't look like lavery , but he seemed to have all duke 's memories . he claimed that he had had plastic surgery so he could get back to her . then lavery 's enemies found him , shot him , and he died in anna 's arms . now , you 'd think that would be the end of the story , right ? but no . now this joker shows up . lulu : so then that paget guy was lying . luke : i 'm thinking maybe the paget guy was the real deal and this current incarnation is the phony . lulu : then how did he get duke 's face ? [ scene_break ] anna : when you met me -- duke : i was a confirmed liar . anna : you manipulated me . duke : i certainly tried to . but then i fell in love with you . i turned my life around . i confessed everything . anna : well , not completely , but i know you wanted to . duke : enough to get you to trust me . i 'll do that again . i promise you . you , uh -- enjoy your anniversary breakfast -- mrs. lavery . anna : wait . [ scene_break ] joe jr. : it 's better that you do n't know who we 're working with . that would n't go over well for anyone . trey : come on , dad . if this guy is so bad , if he 's the one that came up with this entire plan , then turn him over to the cops . cut a deal . testify against him -- joe jr. : no testimony , not against this man . you have no idea what he 's capable of . [ knock on door ] michael : starr , you there ? it 's michael . come on , i know you 're in there . [ scene_break ] dante : [ exhales sharply ] epiphany : mm . that was quick . dante : that was n't -- epiphany : oh , no . my lips are sealed . dante : [ clears throat ] epiphany : [ laughing ] [ scene_break ] lulu : so far we 've got scottish gangsters , a mob hit , one , maybe two fake deaths , a turkish prison , and now a doppelganger . luke : [ laughing ] it 's just not a believable story . lulu : or it 's so crazy it could be true , but you do n't believe it . luke : well , baby , there 's no way to verify it . you know ? there are no dates . there are so many red flags on this play , it 's like may day at gorky park . lulu : well , if you do n't believe duke is really duke , then how are you gon na prove it ? luke : with a dna test . [ scene_break ] anna : i hate to see food go to waste . you might as well stay for breakfast . duke : i can not vouch for the cuisine . you know , next time , i 'll probably cook it myself . anna : oh , that 's right . yeah . i was so surprised when i met you at the policeman 's ball -- that the man in the elegant tuxedo is also a chef . duke : do you remember this , as well ? anna : oh . duke : i thought it reminded you of your childhood . anna : yes . but now -- it has a far less comforting associations , i 'm afraid . you see , that 's my point -- we -- we do n't know things about each other . duke : well , let 's not focus on the past . let 's just think about us now . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] michael : starr , you okay ? joe jr. : do n't give me up , son , please . michael : i know about your friend téa and the baby . i just want to make sure everything 's okay . trey : michael , starr is not here , okay ? michael : i 'll wait . trey : i 'm in the middle of something . michael : yeah ? what ? is my sister here ? kristina ? trey : michael , just go home . michael : kristina ! [ scene_break ] carly : how is todd involved in all this ? jason : [ breathes deeply ] he was in the woods that night . he took téa delgado 's baby and went looking for help . carly : yeah , but it was heather who switched the babies . jason : yeah , but todd could have known about it . carly : he could have ? jason : we do n't know . the cops are questioning him . carly : now you 're gon na tell me to stay away from todd ? jason : you 're gon na do what you want , like always . carly : [ stammers ] it 's weird , all right ? but you and todd are nothing alike but you are . jason : how ? carly : he does n't judge me . i tell him all the horrible things i 've done , and he does n't even blink . and the night that i found out the truth about johnny , i was devastated , i was humiliated , and i wanted to run straight to you , but your phone kept going to voicemail . jason : i know . i was right in the middle of the kidnapping thing . carly : i understand that , but i went to todd , and -- he let me talk , and he listened , and he let me vent , and he even made me laugh , so if you 're telling me now that he 's involved in all of this and he 's a baby stealer -- jason : we do n't know that he 's guilty yet . carly : we do n't know he 's innocent . you think i 'm lying to myself about todd ? jason : [ breathes deeply ] i mean , todd could be lying to you . you 're not -- you 're not trying to convince yourself to feel something you do n't feel . carly : no , i -- no , i -- i like him . i do . i mean , he 's my friend , almost . jason : what -- what is `` almost `` ? carly : i only have one friend , you know -- the person who will never give up on me , no matter how much i deserve it -- who will always catch me when i fall . jason : you do n't need me to catch you . you 're a very strong woman . carly : that 's because i have you to believe in me . i love you . i love you so much . and i want you to be happy . will you do that ? please , will you be happy with this little baby ? okay . i , uh , came to , uh -- see your beautiful little boy . you 're a mom now , and you need to do the right thing . you need to let jason be a part of his life . [ scene_break ] todd : i 'm not asking you to lie for me . starr : a lie of omission is still a lie , dad . todd : whatever . what possible good could come from you telling the truth ? sam already has her kid back . starr : and téa lost the baby that you tricked her into loving . todd : téa still has danielle . the only possible outcome is that there 's another trial , and i go to prison , and john mcbain smiles for the first time in his life . do you want any of those things to happen ? starr : this is not up to me . todd : yes , it is . everything they have on me is circumstantial . starr : heather ? todd : heather 's a comatose lunatic . the only testimony that can put me behind bars is yours . starr : i can not believe that you are doing this to me again . todd : i did a stupid thing . i can do better . i will do better . starr , do n't turn your back on me . dante : what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm sorry . sam : it 's okay . she 's entitled to her opinion . jason : yeah . but it does n't matter what carly or anyone else thinks . this has to be your decision . will you let me be danny 's father ? [ scene_break ] starr : i came here to visit my dad . dante : oh . well , you did n't sign in , so i 'm gon na have to ask you to leave . starr : no , no , that 's fine . i 'll go . todd : thank you , starr -- for coming to visit . [ scene_break ] michael : well , now i see why you did n't want to let me in . joe jr. : you should have listened to my boy . michael : you son of a -- trey : hey , back off ! back off ! it 's not like that ! michael : yeah , why do n't you tell it to my brother , the cop ? ! trey : no ! [ scene_break ] todd : i do n't know what took you so long . carly : i did n't know you were expecting me . todd : i -- was n't . i -- i 'm glad you 're here , though . it 's nice to see you . you look great . carly : thank you . todd : sorry you have to see me like this , here . carly : not a problem . you know , it used to be every time jason was arrested , i would come down here and i would scream and yell until they released him . it was actually his lawyer who did all the work , but i made everyone 's life so miserable here , they were happy to see him go . todd : oh . any chance you could do that for me ? carly : yeah , if you tell me something . did you have anything to do with taking sam and jason 's baby away from them ? [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] dante : yeah , michael , what 's up ? [ scene_break ] joe jr. : i 'd hang up if i were you . [ scene_break ] lulu : wait , dad . you know dna tests are n't foolproof . just ask elizabeth . luke : well , they 're better than nothing . that and fingerprints . maybe i can prove this guy is or is n't duke lavery . otherwise , anna 's just fallen into the arms of a lying stranger . [ scene_break ] duke : a toast . anna : do i have a choice ? duke : to anna -- anna , my inspiration . and to tonight -- the beginning of -- many , many wild and wonderful things . shall we toast ? anna : do i have a choice ?

todd admits to starr that he knew all along that téa had sam morgan 's baby . he tells her about how téa showed up at the cabin that night and assumed that the baby he was holding was hers , and he did n't have the heart to take him away from her . starr ca n't believe that todd would inflict that kind of pain on sam after seeing what losing hope did to her . todd says heather told him that sam was at the cabin to abandon her baby , and he could n't think of any other reason that a woman would bring a newborn to a shack in the middle of the woods , in the middle of the night , in the middle of a storm . michael tells carly that jason found sam 's baby . he tells her that téa and sam delivered their babies the same night and that téa took the wrong baby home because heather webber switched them . carly feels terrible for téa and todd , but she is thrilled for jason . she says that if sam has any sense , she will get back together with jason . jason tells sam that he was hoping she and danny would come home with him and be a family . he assures her that he will love her and danny forever . she is n't prepared to give him an answer . carly goes to the hospital to see danny . she asks jason if he is going to be danny 's father . jason says it is up to sam . he tells her that todd might have been complicit in the baby switch , but so far , all they know is that he was in the woods that night . carly hopes todd was n't involved because he is almost her friend . carly tells sam to do the right thing by letting jason be a part of danny 's life , and then she goes to the jail to confront todd . sam decides to go with jason .

[ scene_break ] olivia : claudia is your wife because of a business deal you made with her father when you took over his organization . sonny : claudia agreed because she understands who i am and what i do . olivia : oh , right . so , what , now you guys , you 're soulmates now ? sonny : she does n't talk me down . she does n't keep telling me that i 'm a criminal . olivia : of course she does n't , because she 's done worse things than you 're ever gon na do . sonny : you know what , you went on and on about how claudia and i deserve each other . so i actually listened to you , and i accepted it . so whatever poison you got to tell me , i do n't want to hear it . olivia : sonny ... it 's true . sonny : what ? olivia : it 's true that i 'm disappointed in you , but that 's because i saw how much potential you had . you got the smarts and the confidence and the ambition . i mean , you could have done anything . you could have done great things . but even now , after all the choices you 've made , i still ... i still choose to believe that you 've got a code . okay , a fundamental decency that i am sorry to tell you , claudia does not have . she 's cruel , and she 's -- michael : what gives you the right to badmouth my dad 's wife , huh ?

[ scene_break ] helena : my , such handsome young men . it 's rather a shame there has to be such tension between you . lucky : me and ethan ? we 're like this . helena : oh , come now , lucky . you know you 've always felt slighted by your father . and now to discover that luke 's philandering has produced this -- this smashing young brother , who he clearly fancies over you , well , i would imagine it 's quite a thorn in your side . lucky : helena 101 . she finds out where you 're vulnerable and she works it however she can . ethan : oh , yeah . she 's pretty obvious about that one . helena : i 'd like those few private moments with ethan now . please close the door on your way out . ethan : i ca n't possibly imagine what you could have to say to me in private . helena : i need to tell you a secret . yes . it 's something so explosive that your brother 's happiness could literally be in your own hands . ethan : whatever secret you 're selling , sweetheart , i 'm not interested . helena : that 's very disappointing . well , it seems you 'll have to learn the awful truth from someone else . lucky : i 'm sorry to spoil your fun . let 's get out of here while we still can . ethan : yeah , that 's the best idea i 've heard all day .

[ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm sorry . i did n't know you were listening . michael : oh , so if you had known , you just would have waited and then trashed claudia then ? olivia : um , it 's complicated , michael . michael : no , it seems pretty simple to me . i think , you know , you guys grew up together and now it just upsets you that he 's with claudia . sonny : hey . i do n't like the way you 're speaking to her , okay ? you got ta show olivia some respect . the fight that she has with claudia , there are two sides and claudia has been wrong plenty of times . michael : no , claudia is your wife . dad , you 're the one who always says , `` stick up for family no matter what , `` right ? sonny : okay , that is true . that 's why you got ta stop getting in claudia 's face . olivia : fine . i can do that . i 'm sorry that you 're in the middle of this , michael . you 're a good kid . and it speaks well of you that you would stand up for your stepmother like that . um ... your oldest boy is something to be proud of , sonny . sonny : okay , even though i do n't like the way you spoke to her , i do appreciate that you stood up for claudia . michael : i mean , i 'm glad that you defended claudia , too . i just , i do n't know , i always had this feeling that there was this distance between you guys . sonny : there was , for a long time , but you know , she 's trying her best to be a good wife , and ... i appreciate that . [ scene_break ] claudia : okay , picture this . dominic : hmm ? claudia : me walking into sonny and letting him know that olivia falconeri has been lying to him since the minute her kid came to town , that kid being you . his trusted soldier . his trusted soldier with a fake name and a hidden agenda . you 're screwed . dominic : [ chuckles ] i can see that you would really take a lot of joy out of that , but you 're not going to do it . claudia : all of your leverage is gone , dante . dominic : but so will yours be when you spill your news to sonny . claudia : but i 'm not about leverage . i 'm about payback . dominic : no , think again . you 're holding the truth over my mother 's head so she stays away from johnny . how long do you think it 'll take for her to get back into johnny 's arms when she finds out you told sonny the truth about me ? claudia : i will deal with the fallout when it happens . dominic : uh - huh . keeping johnny away from my mother is way more important to you than any pregnancy could ever be . personally , i think it 's a little twisted to be so involved in your brother 's love life , but hey , i 'm not judging . i 'm not too crazy about johnny being with my mother either , so you know what ? thank you . i owe you one .

[ scene_break ] johnny : okay , i know you 're still grieving over your baby , claudia , but this is not the way to go about solving it . i think you know that . claudia : actually , at the time , it seemed like a workable plan . johnny : okay , but sonny did n't want another child . and i probably would say that it 's not such a bad idea . claudia : you know what , this is perfect because you and sonny loathe each other , but you both agree that i would suck at being a mother . johnny : claudia , it 's not you . it 's the life , all right ? you and sonny , you 're in this business , okay ? and it 's not the place to raise a kid . look at us ; we know that better than anyone else . claudia : johnny , come on . we both had absent mothers . our father is a certified whack job . this is completely different . sonny and i would be loving parents . it 's -- johnny : okay . but you can have all the bodyguards you want . you can pack your house full of security cameras , whatever . but things happen when you least expect it . look at michael . claudia : oh , you know , why do you always bring that up ? why do you always bring that up ? you know what you act like ? you act like i wanted michael to get shot . no , and i did n't . ian devlin is the one who shot him . my part in that was so small , and you know it ! johnny : i know . okay . my point is , claudia , you and sonny will always have enemies . that 's the way it 's going to be . it 's the nature of this business . be glad that you do n't have a kid that you have to look after all the time and protect . olivia : no , i 'm sorry , but i refuse to believe that i 'm never going to have a child . johnny : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , getting pregnant with somebody else 's baby and trying to pass it of as sonny 's is silly . it 's stupid . and you 're asking , begging for misery . claudia : fine , i know . i 'm ... so i 'll just , uh , build a life with sonny . i do n't know , maybe eventually convince him to have a child . johnny : you 're setting yourself up for disappointment again . claudia : no . i do n't think so , john . sonny used to hate me , remember ? he does n't anymore . need a little patience and time . i 'll have everything that i want . you know , i 'll have a partnership with sonny , power and prestige , a child of my own , as long as you love me . that 's all i 'll ever need . [ scene_break ] olivia : you want me to convince you that i deserve to live . anthony : you have to look at it from my perspective . my only son is infatuated with you . he is in constant conflict with sonny over you , and also with his snake of a sister . now , if i got rid of you , i would be eliminating the source of the problem . you know , now that i hear it out loud , i 'm liking it even more . olivia : you do n't scare me , anthony . i got no problem going to the cops with your threats . and as far as protecting john , i can assure you that he is doing just fine . anthony : oh , you are hardly a reliable source . olivia : seeing you here and knowing claudia , johnny really is a freakin ' miracle , that someone so decent and loyal with such a good heart would come out of your gene pool , it really just blows my mind . and the obstacles that he has had to overcome to be his own man and not some twisted tool ? johnny is going to get all the love and support that i can possibly give him . anthony : [ chuckles ] you got guts , kid . i like that in a woman . you 're a little long in the tooth for my son , but you 're hot . i think you 're good for him . so you get to live -- for now .

[ scene_break ] luke : i was in ireland , and i see in the dublin papers that lucky , using the name ronan o'reilly , has been arrested for a double homicide . jason : why was lucky using an alias ? luke : ronan o'reilly was a hired assassin working for the balkan . recently he got killed or died . i do n't know the details . so interpol sent lucky in undercover to try and find out who and where the balkan is . jason : and what happened to him ? luke : well , i went into the jail and had a talk with him , and i was gon na bust him out , but interpol made a call and they let him right out . so it turns out that there was nothing i could do for him . i was in danger of blowing his cover , so i left , came back here . but the fact that the balkan has traced me here and wants to talk to me about ronan o'reilly means that his reach is a lot longer than i expected . jason : [ sighs ] well , thank you for all the information . and if you hear anything else , please -- luke : sure , i 'll let you know . you bet . and for lucky 's safety , you do the same . jason : absolutely . yeah . thanks . luke : see you , jason . jason : all right . [ scene_break ] lucky : how thick are you ? first you tell me to kill the girl in public , then you give her a chance to scream and run . if she tells the cops that ronan o'reilly was ordered to kill her and almost did , i 'll have the police , interpol , and immigration breathing down my neck . so you be sure to tell the balkan that any delay in finding brenda barrett is thanks to you . swavek : the balkan does n't want excuses . he wants brenda barrett to be found . lucky : when i find her , i 'll give him a call . now , stay out of my way , or i 'll shoot you myself . [ scene_break ] robin : you want me out of the hospital ? patrick : robin , that is not what i meant , and you know it . robin : you honestly think that i need a leave of absence , that , oh , i 'm too emotional or something to handle my work as a doctor ? patrick : no , i do n't . but maybe some time to adjust . lisa 's return here was unexpected . robin : i just ca n't believe shadybrook released her , after everything she did . patrick : i agree . but she 's here . we ca n't change that . now , i do n't want her doing things that 's gon na push you into doing something that you regret , like slapping her . robin : so your solution is to get me out of the hospital . which basically means you 'll be here alone with her , so that certainly takes the pressure off . you two can pick up right where you left off . patrick : hey , listen to me . i am on your side all the way . i do n't want anything to do with lisa . but when she provokes you like that and you overreact , you 're giving her exactly what she wants . robin : you gave her exactly what she wanted when you slept with her . [ cell phone rings ] [ ring ] robin : hello ? brenda : hey . can you come over ? robin : are you okay ? brenda : i just need to talk . [ scene_break ] dante : sonny basically admitted that he was behind the car bombing . lulu : does kristina know ? dante : i think she has her suspicions , but she does n't want to face the fact that her father almost killed her . lulu : and you do n't want to be the one to make her face it . dante : she 's suffered enough . lulu : why do n't you just get yourself taken off the case ? dante : i tried to . i cited conflict of interest . but whoever this higher up that 's pulling the strings wants me on this case .

[ scene_break ] jason : i got an update on the balkan . he 's targeting luke . sonny : how did luke get involved ? jason : actually , it has nothing to do with brenda at all . lucky 's actually working undercover in ireland trying to find out the balkan 's identity . i guess interpol recruited him because he looks like this guy ronan o'reilly , who works for the balkan . but lucky got himself in a tight spot and luke got involved . sonny : did they find out who the balkan is ? jason : no . but luke said he 's gon na pass on any information . sonny : we need to talk about brenda . jason : was she okay when you went back ? sonny : i went to see her and , uh -- there 's something going on with her . and i thought i could help ... but then i realized that i 'm the one doing this to her .

[ scene_break ] sonny : after you left and i went to see brenda , she was definitely wound up . there 's something going on like i said . i tried to , you know , calm her down . she did n't really want any part of it . after i left , what did you guys talk about ? jason : i mean , i asked her about the balkan . and i know that she 's hiding something she 's not telling me , and i said i was tired of her lying to me . sonny : how did she react ? jason : not good . because i said somebody 's gon na get hurt or somebody 's gon na die and it 's gon na be on her . sonny : she 's fragile . she 's scared . just -- you got ta be patient with her . jason : i 'm trying . sonny : look , she does n't want me to take care of her . she ... you know , she ... does n't want me looking out for her , whatever , so , uh , you 're gon na -- you 're gon na have to do that for me . you promise me you 'll look after her ? jason : you have my word . sonny : i appreciate that . [ scene_break ] robin : brenda , i am so sorry . i 'm the one that encouraged sonny . brenda : no , no , what are you talking about ? sonny does n't do anything he does n't want to do . robin : yeah , i know , but i ... i thought it could work this time . you know , and ... it was stone 's last wish , and so i had this image in my head , this image of you and sonny happily ever after . i guess because of my own marriage falling apart i needed to believe that , so i -- i apologize for imposing my romantic fantasies on you . brenda : please , do n't apologize to me for anything . trust me , nothing 's your fault . it 's really important that you go talk to sonny and just tell him that we ca n't be together .

[ both chuckle ] sam : you know , spinelli , i think jason 's atoms , molecules , and stardust would be shuddering at the very thought . spinelli : yeah . he was never big on ceremony . i get carried away , i guess . sam : you know , i think you can do whatever you feel is appropriate , but i think we could just stand here as friends ... look up at the sky ... remember the person we lost . let him know how much we loved him . spinelli : excellent idea . sam : did you see that ? spinelli : what ? jason : a shooting star . [ scene_break ] ned : olivia , i want us to be together . i want to be with leo . i want us to be a family . but not under this cloud of lies . it wo n't work for me . olivia : i never wanted it to be like this . i was ready to tell him the truth . i went over to his place . i looked him right in the eye . i was ready to tell him , and the guy got arrested right in front of me . ned : what ? olivia : they thought he was guilty of hijacking sonny 's trucks . ned : were n't those charges dropped ? olivia : yeah , eventually . ned : did n't -- has n't julian sworn that he 's out of the mob ? olivia : he swears he 's out of the mob . he always swears he 's out of the mob . ned : well , maybe this time , with alexis 's influence , maybe it 's true . olivia : even if that 's true , even if you 're right , even if he is out of the mob , what difference does it make when no one believes him ? dante does n't believe him . ned : as long as julian 's enemies have their doubts , there 's still danger . olivia : i can not risk bringing leo into julian 's orbit unless i know that it 's safe . that is the policy that kept dante safe and happy and in one piece until he was a grown man , man enough to take care of himself . leo deserves that same chance . ned : i understand . olivia : okay . ned : and i ca n't blame you . i mean , leo 's safety is your first priority . olivia : yes . so where does that leave us ? ned : at the end .

ned comes back to town after traveling on tour singing with his daughter brook lynn . alexis meets up with him and reflects she can see he 's being `` pulled two different ways `` having one family with brook lynn ... and another with olivia and baby leo , even though she 's been told that olivia adopted a baby named matteo and leo has died . this raises a question about whether alexis suspects or already knows that baby leo is alive and well and ned is sworn to secrecy having to falsify olivia adopted matteo . olivia is ready to propose to ned and be one big happy family with him and her baby . yet he tells her he can not go through with continuing to lie for her . he tells her in order to consider her offer , he would need for her to come clean and reveal the truth to julian that his child is alive . yet she can not do that knowing she has to keep him safe by keeping the secret just like she did with dante , where she did not reveal sonny was his father until dante was an adult . olivia cries and is heartbroken to have to choose between a future with ned and keeping her baby safe . julian is ready to move in with alexis and molly makes it clear to her mom and to julian that he is not welcome and she believes her mother needs to wake up and see him for who he really is . sabrina reveals to michael that she is pregnant and she found out a few weeks ago and hesitated to tell him . there is tension yet he tells her he loves her and wants to celebrate and shout from a rooftop that she is having his baby . yet she is `` incomplete `` with the loss of carlos . jake somehow `` knows `` that nikolas knows who he really is and is lying saying otherwise and keeping a secret . sam agrees . yet nikolas rationalizes that he did , in fact , examine jake 's dna right after he almost blew up the haunted star , out of concern for what kind of a man could so this and so he wanted to find out who jake really was . yet he tells jake he never found out the answer to that . sam and spinelli both reflect how they can see jake as very much like jason and they seem to know that jason is `` ever - near `` although they do n't know exactly how , why or living in whom . kiki is still refusing to speak to morgan when he meets a girl named darby who is a friend of molly and tj .

ava overhears dr. obrecht on the phone at the metro court trying to get a new job at mercy hospital without success . obrecht thinks that something is `` not right `` with morgan 's death in her professional opinion , and the truth will be uncovered when they test his meds . at that point , ava realizes she needs to gain access to morgan 's room , so she goes to sonny 's house . he finally agrees to let her see avery just to shut her up and get her out of his house . he suspects nothing when she goes into morgan 's room with the meds she previously took and replaced with placebos , puts the meds he was supposed to take ( and believe he was taking ) on his bedside table , assuming she is `` in the clear `` . when she drops the bottle of meds under the bed and attempts to reach underneath to retrieve it , nelle finds her and asks what she is doing on the floor of morgan 's room . maxie and nathan find out the dna test she secretly ran with nathan 's dna , proves that charlotte is not his daughter . nathan wonders why she would do that and goes to tell griffin . he finds him with claudette who 's trying to get the ex - priest to run away with her . claudette admits that charlotte is , in fact , griffin 's daughter . both men do not understand her motive for hiding from griffin that they have a daughter and having nathan falsely believing she is his . maxie calls dr. obrecht to sit with charlotte and goes to claudette 's hotel room hoping to find and confront her there . she hears loud music , knowing someone is there and enters but is surprised by a large , bearded man . she runs to the door but he prevents her from leaving , covers her mouth and tells her to be quiet . hayden is willing to stop at nothing to get the money finn needs in order to fund his research and find a cure to save his life . she has a strange guy named evan believing that she will sleep with him in exchange for his writing her a large check . yet she gets him drunk after getting him to write the check , before he can re- consider , having him passed out and incapable of having his way with her . finn rushes to save her and helps her get evan into his bed so he 'll believe the deed was done . she happily reveals to finn that she got the money he needs . he admits he was worried about her then watches her pass out .

ric comforts alexis who pretty much admits to caring about him . thanks to a tip from luke , jax is picked up for aiding and abetting , prompting skye to decide to turn herself in ; however luke and dillon have a better plan , something on the order of thomas crowne affair that involves springing faith out of jail . as emily and nik give lucky the good news of the broken curse , tracy gleefully calls helena to tell her the curse appears broken . edward plans to elope with heather to paris , who demurs , then later is caught by her fiance talking to `` herself `` about her dreams of luke in the attic . later she fantasizes about marrying luke while getting hitched to edward in front of the jp . helena vows that emily and nik will never be happy , if she has to do a repeat of what happened to kristen , alexis ' mother . fortunately , lucky is nearby to hear all this and arrest helena for kristen 's murder . as alan and monica realize a thief has been in their home , tracy finds the note announcing the marriage and they plot to end it . a young lilah visits edward in a dream . jax is released thanks to alexis . somehow , helena gets out of custody to menace both emily and kristina in the chapel .

[ scene_break ] alexis : did you do something to provoke the attack ? ric : what , like make some -- some sort of a sudden movement ? i was questioning jason about alcazar 's whereabouts . he has n't been seen around town for a couple of days , so i just wanted to make sure that he was n't going to turn up floating in the harbor . alexis : ric , how many times has jason been arrested ? 200 -- 300 times ? have you ever seen him snap while being questioned ? ric : well , when sonny had his breakdown , jason had to take over the business , right ? he had to step up . and alcazar 's been on his -- he 's been on him ever since , ok ? maybe he 's just hit a nerve with -- with the two of them about to go to war . i do n't -- i do n't care why he -- he snapped . i think the important thing that you seem to be missing here is that i am alive . jason left a -- a witness . a very credible one , at that . i 'm finally going to be able to charge him with attempted murder , and i 'm going to make it stick . look , enough about that . how are you feeling ? alexis : i 'm tired . tying her shoelaces tires me out . ric : well , why do n't you let sam worry about tying kristina 's shoelaces ? and you can get some rest . why do n't you go home ? alexis : no , it 's too late . she 's -- she 's got the girls at disney world with viola . ric : you 're at the house alone ? alexis : i 'm fine . alexis : and for the record , i 'm glad that you 're still drawing breath .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : oh . colleen : you should n't be doing that on your own . nikolas : i 'm fine . i got it . colleen : i 'm not sure what happened earlier . emily obviously thinks i overstepped in some way . nikolas : she 's just worried about me , that 's all . colleen : so am i . there have been a number of suspicious accidents around here . nikolas : well , my grandmother can be very aggressive when it comes to getting what she wants . colleen : i think it would be wise to only surround yourself with people you completely trust . nikolas : why ? is there someone on the staff that you feel may be disloyal ? colleen : the staff has the utmost respect for you . but emily 's hurt you in the past . i would n't want to see that happen again . nikolas : how 'd you know about that ? colleen : you told me . you were on the pain medication and began to ramble about how emily rejected you . it sounded awful . nikolas : hey , i do n't know what i may have or have n't said while i 've been medicated . but emily 's not only my ex - wife , she 's my best friend . ok ? and although you are a welcomed addition to this family , if there 's a choice to be made , i will always trust emily . colleen : of course , sir . nikolas : and , colleen , if -- if i 've misled you or sent you mixed messages , i apologize . colleen : um -- not at all . i 'm perfectly clear about the situation .

[ scene_break ] dante : so , got to admit , i 'm kind of curious as to how sonny and brenda ended up hooking up . michael : all i know is what i 've been told . dad and brenda had a record company with brook lynn 's mother . they fell in love , and it 's a really big deal for the both of them . dante : and sonny left her at the altar . michael : yeah . i heard it really wrecked her . dante : she could n't have been that wrecked . i mean , she went from jilted bride to international supermodel . that 's pretty good . michael : yeah . kind of makes you wonder what happened to her in between . i mean , along the way , something good must have happened to her .

[ scene_break ] kate : well , that should cover my tab . coleman : so , where 's this guy that 's got you coming and going ? or are you playing hard - to - get ? you know , putting distance between the two of you to make him want you that much more ? kate : who said there even was a guy ? coleman : well , something 's knocked you off your pins . was it being at the church again , at a wedding with sonny ? kate : how do you know about that ? coleman : you made the tabloids . and i was surprised you let yourself get snapped at a mob wedding , with sonny corinthos no less , 'cause you 're always so selective about where and when you were seen with me . kate : you were hardly appropriate for every occasion , coleman . coleman : you know , you ca n't pass sonny off , a guy like him , as your assistant , so what role is he playing in your life these days ? [ scene_break ] lulu : so , now you 're telling me not to marry dante . so what is this , reverse psychology or something ? sonny : no , no . you should n't have to live in fear . i mean , dante would n't want you to do that , right ? so if you ca n't accept what he does , the risks he takes -- it 's part of his job -- you got to let him go . lulu : that 's very easy for you to say . sonny : it 's not about love . i know you love him . it 's about loving him enough to be honest . i mean , look ... it 's easy to live in a fantasy , but it 's the day- to - day that 's the hard part . if you guys ca n't be truthful about what you expect , what you want , it 's gon na end before it starts . lulu : i do n't want to hurt him . sonny : worst thing that you can do to dante is tell him you can live in his life and then realize , after the fact ... you ca n't . lulu : why do i feel like we 're not talking about dante anymore ? [ scene_break ] delores : where do you draw the line between personal and professional ? dante : i do n't know , officer . where do you ? you 're here questioning me after hours . is that because of your professional duty or personal ambition ? delores : well , call me ambitious , but i think whoever shot you needs to be off the streets . dante : i think you need to be off the streets and home in bed . delores : what 's it to you ? dante : hey , look , i was a rookie , too , once , officer padilla . i know what it 's like trying to prove that you can handle the grueling schedule . add into the mixture the sleep deprivation , it can seriously impair your judgment . delores : first of all , i am not a rookie . second of all , one would think you 'd be glad someone in this department is making this shooting a top priority . dante : i am . delores : no , you 're not . why is that , by the way ? are you hoping this case never gets solved ? [ scene_break ] matt : what i just said right there about lucky , that was out of line , so ... all we had , it was just a moment . it was a moment . elizabeth : would you have stopped if i had n't ? matt : well , i ... think with the amount of champagne that i 've consumed , i 'm lucky things went as far as they did . there , finally -- a smile ! i was beginning to think that this entire night was gon na be a bust . elizabeth : i know this is not how you pictured your celebration , but do n't let it take away from the fact that you 're getting published . matt : no , this is good . it 's good because it 's gon na keep me from getting a big head , which , as my big brother reminded me , i still have a lot to prove . elizabeth : why do you that ? matt : do what ? what ? elizabeth : he 's not even here , and you let him get to you . why do n't you step out of your brother 's shadow long enough to realize what you 've achieved ? matt : it 's a big shadow . the guy 's got a good life . he 's got a beautiful wife , he 's got an adorable child , an illustrious medical career . elizabeth : let 's not forget , not that long ago , there was a speed bump in the road named lisa . [ scene_break ] captain : briggs , i 've been looking for you . i -- who the hell ... [ scene_break ] robin : oh , start talking , drake . patrick : [ chuckles ] i was just thinking about the rooms we could have in our new house . robin : yeah ? patrick : mm - hmm . robin : a gazebo out back ? patrick : man cave . robin : sorry , i 'm not -- i do n't -- patrick : man cave . robin : a what ? patrick : man cave . a place for , you know , men to hang out -- like a fridge full of beer , flat - screen tv , foosball table , ping - pong table , air hockey , comfortable couch . robin : sure . just add on a garage so you can work on all your racecars . patrick : really ? robin : yeah , really . patrick : thank you . that 'd be great . robin : yeah , 'cause you 'll need something to do while i 'm relaxing in my spa . patrick : your spa ? your own spa ? robin : yes . you know , nothing over the top . just , you know , a steam shower and a sauna , hot tub . patrick : see , that 's good . 'cause we could both use that . i could get into that . robin : oh , no , but this hot tub , it would just be made for one person -- just a little tiny hot tub . patrick : our home just went from warm and cozy to cold and cavernous . robin : you started it . patrick : you did . well , i 'll start it again . just the essentials . you , me , and emma . that 's all i need . robin : me too . and , um ... this penny ? patrick : mm - hmm . robin : i think that we should frame it , put it over the door of our new house to remind us of this night and how lucky we really are . patrick : i think that 's a great idea . [ scene_break ] matt : but patrick is not the first man to have ever cheated . i mean , my father with my mother , and then -- bam ! -- there was me , so ... i guess that 's why , as hard as i am on patrick and i 've really judged him for what he did with lisa , it 's not his fault that she turned into a psycho anyway , so ... elizabeth : no , and he 's not to blame for what she did after , but , still , he should n't have slept with her . matt : yeah , but it 's difficult when a woman is coming after you with all guns blazing . you know , i guess it 's ... why they call us the weaker sex , right ? elizabeth : really ? so , is that what happened right now between you and me ? you 're just the weaker sex ? matt : look , i was n't putting a ring on your finger , okay ? hell , i was n't even asking you to prom . it was a kiss , all right ? and , look , even if things had gone further , it would n't have been a big deal . elizabeth : oh , gee , thanks . matt : it was just a kiss . men and women kiss sometimes . they have sex . elizabeth : yeah , well , i 'm a mother . matt : mothers have sex . elizabeth : dude , you 're just not getting it , are you ? matt : no , you 're not getting it ! elizabeth : excuse me ? matt : yeah . look , you 're a woman . be happy , go after what you want , but that 's never gon na happen . you 're never gon na be happy if you keep holding on to lucky and turning to men every time you need to be saved . elizabeth : you just crossed the line . well , congratulations . you are officially alone at your own party . [ scene_break ] olivia : whoo ! steve : mm ! olivia : that was invigorating . steve : well , that 's one way to describe it . i 'm gon na go with freezing . olivia : ha ! do n't be a baby . it was n't that bad . steve : yeah . for a mermaid , maybe . [ both laugh ] ice - cold or not , it was worth every second . olivia : aww . steve : hey , maybe this will warm us up . olivia : oh , my god . steve : what ? olivia : my tailbone has n't hurt at all since we got out of the water . maybe it 's true what they say -- that swimming really does cure what ails you . steve : hey , i thought that was my job . olivia : you want a job ? steve : mm - hmm . olivia : i 'll put you to work . but first , you 're gon na play . steve : it 's about time . olivia : [ chuckles ] steve : what are you doing ? oh . no , come on . was n't my earlier performance up on deck enough ? olivia : no , it was n't , as a matter of fact . that performance was for everybody else . take it . this one 's gon na be just for me . steve : i got something just for you .

[ scene_break ] pa : dr. smith to pediatrics . dante : why would n't i want to find out who shot me ? delores : you were shot in a coffee warehouse owned by your father , a known crime figure . dante : very good . so what ? delores : so , the person who shot you might work for your father -- might even be your father ! it would n't be the first time . dante : that 's a massive assumption based on zero evidence . delores : you were shot at point - blank range in february 2009 at the home of your father . dante : yeah , but i - i did n't know that he was my father at the time . delores : strangely , despite being an experienced undercover officer with expert ratings in marksmanship , you somehow managed to shoot yourself , which you stated in court , under oath , at least two separate occasions . dante : i love your tone . delores : only one i 've got . dante : how does your husband like it when he comes home at night ? delores : how does your fiancée feel about you not coming home at all , thanks to your old man ? dante : how do you know about that ? delores : i saw the ring when i went to your apartment and questioned miss spencer . wait . miss spencer is your fiancée , which means your friend , detective spencer , the one you were just defending about being a good cop , despite his botched drug case , will soon be your brother - in - law . dante : i get it . you think that i 'm being selective about who should obey the law and who should n't , right ? delores : well , i see a definite pattern of behavior here . dante : your husband 's a good guy , right ? delores : what does that have to do with anything ? dante : would that come into account if he ever got in trouble with the law ? delores : i did n't even say i was married . and i sure as hell do n't talk about my personal life at work , so -- dante : it 's the perfume you 're wearing , like i said . lulu wears the same one . it says a lot about you . i have to assume that there 's a guy out there who appreciates it as much as i do when she wears it . delores : you done ? now back to your shooting . dante : look , i told you everything i can about that night . it 's looking more and more like i 'm gon na have to solve this thing when i get out of here . unless you take that as a personal challenge . delores : unless you do n't like what i find out . [ scene_break ] sonny : your doubts about marrying dante do remind me of brenda , 'cause , uh ... i did n't -- i did n't look beyond wanting to be with a woman that i loved . lulu : and obviously , she did n't look beyond that , either , in the beginning . sonny : well , you know , we were lying to each other . we were living in some kind of bubble where the real world -- we could n't get through . lulu : bubbles always break . sonny : but she , uh ... she could n't deal with who i was and what i do , so it did n't work out . lulu : so she left . sonny : and that 's -- i 'm having the same feelings about you and dante , and i do n't want him to be hurt . lulu : mm . i 'm sorry . that rings a little hollow coming from you . sonny : i would never set out to harm my own flesh and blood . lulu : why do you have to harm anyone ? sonny : this is not about me . lulu : this is always about you . sonny : okay , lulu , if you go ahead with this ... engagement ... and you know in your gut that there 's no future there , you 'll be knowingly breaking dante 's heart . lulu : i 'm sorry . i do n't have time to listen to a lecture from you about hurting dante . sonny : is that why you 're here instead of the hospital -- 'cause you 've already made up your decision on your proposal ? lulu : that 's between me and him . sonny : yeah , okay . [ sighs ] do you have any idea where kate went ? lulu : maxie said she 's out of town . sonny : you have any idea ? lulu : no , i do n't . this is what she does . she takes off for one day or a few days . i do n't ask questions . you should appreciate that . sonny : all right , listen . do the right thing ... for your sake , for dante 's sake . [ cell phone rings ] lulu : hey , what are you still doing up ? dante : well , i told you i was gon na call you before i crashed . are you still swamped ? lulu : yeah , um ... i 'll call you tomorrow ? dante : uh ... try and make it better than a call . i want to see you here . first thing in the morning would be great . lulu : okay . just get some rest . dante : look , this is the second time you 've rushed me off the phone tonight . lulu : i 'm sorry . i - i do n't -- i do n't mean to . dante : i know . i just , uh ... i love you . lulu : i love you , too . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kate : well , it did n't just disappear . coleman : this what you 're looking for ? kate : yes . coleman : you never answered my question about sonny . should i assume that you lowered your standards about who you will and wo n't be seen with ? kate : i came in here for a drink , not judgment . coleman : who 's judging ? i 'm just trying to get a handle on all this . maybe that tabloid shot of you and him was just you needing some flashy attention . kate : whatever it was , it 's none of your business . coleman : you know , i broke through that wall of ice once , ms. howard , and i got down to what was real . but if real does n't interest you anymore , i can go find it elsewhere .

'cause i tell you what -- carly would never forgive me if she knew i ordered this hit . shawn : it 'll go down without a hitch , all right ? you 'll see . not like what happened with ava . silas : kiki told me about the mix - up with the meds . morgan : yeah , uh , she , uh -- apparently , what she 's been taking can cause premature -- silas : causes premature labor . i know . how you doing , kid ? you been having contractions ? morgan : yeah , she has , and they 've actually -- they 've been getting worse . ava : so , is this it , then ? am i in labor ? silas : i 'm gon na need to do an exam before i can say for certain . morgan : if she 's -- if she 's in labor , is there any way to reverse that ? madeline : do n't tell me silas and ava are at it again . nina : oh , no , no , no , no . he 's done with that troll . no . he moved on to sam morgan , the trailer - trash tramp . madeline : who is ava with now ? nina : oh . who is ava with now ? that is the kicker , mom . that is definitely the kicker . this is the thing -- apparently , ava jerome was double dipping with a father and a son , so she does n't even know who the baby daddy is -- all the more reason she does n't deserve to have a kid . she does n't deserve to have a baby . why is it that ava has two kids , and i do n't even have one ? i have not even one , thanks to you . madeline : i 'm sorry . nina : do n't say that , please , to me . do n't say that , please . it -- it makes you feel better . it does n't make me feel better . madeline : all right . all right . nina : but you do feel bad , do n't you ? you wish you could do things differently , do n't you ? madeline : yes . nina : then help me help myself to ava 's baby . madeline : i ca n't do that , nina . silas : when was the last contraction ? morgan : it was a little while before you got here . silas : okay . how far apart are they now ? ava : i - i do n't know . um , i have n't been timing them . i thought i was just having cramps . it never occurred to me that i could be in labor . silas : okay , but you 've had one , say , in the last 15 minutes ? ava : ye -- yes . silas : nothing since ? ava : no . silas : okay . ava : and my water has n't broken , so that 's good . maybe this is just a false alarm . silas : maybe . tell me a little bit about the pregnancy . ava : uh , where -- where to start ? silas : any complications ? ava : no , um , a couple of weeks ago , i was having some cramps , but ... morgan : but the doctor did n't say that it was dangerous . kiki : well , and the prescription you were given was supposed to stop those cramps . silas : okay , how far along are you ? do you know when the baby was conceived ? ava : yeah . um , it was , uh ... the day of a.j . quartermaine 's funeral . sonny : we need to double down on finding ava . once we get rid of franco , we get rid of her . shawn : and then there wo n't be anyone left to tell michael you killed a.j . michael : you must have some idea who killed a.j . if you 're so positive it was n't carlos . who was it ? sabrina : i 'm not -- i 'm not 100 % sure . michael : you 're not 100 -- then why are we even talking about this ? sabrina : look , all i know for certain is that carlos did n't do it . michael : that 's not good enough . you 're the guy 's friend . you were even engaged at a point . sabrina : so ? michael : so , obviously , you want to believe the best in him . sabrina : that 's not what this is . michael : carlos confessed . he told anna devane that he killed my father . sabrina : yeah , but he told me that he did n't . michael . do n't you have some people in your life who you just -- you just know -- who you know -- you can tell right off the bat if -- if they 're being honest with you ? michael : yes , actually , it was that way with a.j . when he swore he did n't kill connie , i believed him . sabrina : okay . so that 's what it 's like with carlos and me . michael , he did n't do it . i promise you that he 's telling the truth . sabrina : look , i know this is a delicate subject , but you need to listen to me . i was with carlos a few days ago , and just like aj swore he did n't kill connie , carlos swore he made a false confession . he did n't kill aj quartermaine . michael : then why say he did ? why throw away 20 years or more of his life taking responsibility for a crime he did n't commit ? sabrina : someone forced him to . ava : well ? silas : good news is the fetus is pretty far along . if the baby was to be born today , it would have a pretty decent chance of survival . ava : oh , thank god . silas : that being said , it would be a whole lot better if we give him or her a little more time . morgan : okay . yeah , but is that possible ? silas : ava is n't actually in labor . her cervix is softening , but it is n't dilated . give you an injection of terbutaline . let 's see if we can stop you from delivering prematurely . ava : thank you , silas . nina : did you just say no to me ? is that what just happened ? madeline : think about what you 're saying . nina : i 've thought of nothing else for the last few months . madeline : i ca n't help you steal someone else 's baby . it is n't right . nina : all of a sudden , you 're taking the moral high ground ? after you put me in a coma for years ? madeline : accidentally . nina : accidentally ? did you accidentally kill that innocent pharmacist ? did you accidentally lie to your son for his entire life ? all of those things you did for you , and i 'm asking you to do one thing for me . madeline : this is -- nina : and all of sudden , you spring a code of ethics . madeline : listen ! this is n't what you need . you do n't need a child . you need someone to -- nina : i do n't want to hear that i need help ! i do n't need help ! i do n't need help ! i need a baby ! i need a baby . [ sighs ] and that you fail to see that i need a baby because you took one from me is absolutely insane to me ! but , you know , if you want to play ball , let 's play ball . madeline : what are you talking about ? nina : you know what i 'm talking about . if you wo n't take ava jerome 's baby to replace the one that you took from me , you 'll do it for money , wo n't you , mom ? bobbie : come on in . i am thrilled that you could come by . as a matter of fact , i have n't seen you since ... brad : i was arguing with felix over who could bandage your son . bobbie : that 's right . lucas : fun times . brad : yeah , i am very sorry about that . it was completely unprofessional . bobbie : brad , it 's okay . relax . i 'm just having a little fun with you .

[ chuckles ] you 're funny . she 's funny . lucas : oh , yeah , she 's a real comedian . bobbie : by the way , i never had a chance to tell you how much i really enjoyed your performance at the nurses ' ball . brad : yeah ? bobbie : yeah . bet you 're not so broken - hearted anymore , are you ? lucas : you do n't have to answer that . brad : a lot has changed between now and then , that 's for sure . bobbie : and i am thrilled . brad : [ chuckles ] bobbie : so , what can i get you to drink ? lucas : we do n't want to be late for trivia night -- bobbie : i was really looking forward to getting acquainted with brad . lucas : okay , well , you can corner him at the wedding . how 's that ? brad : uh , what wedding ? lucas : my sister 's on halloween . brad : carly 's getting married ? you did n't tell me about that . lucas : yeah , sure , i did . brad : uh , no , you did n't . i 'd remember a halloween wedding . he always thinks he 's told me things when he has n't . bobbie : yeah , you know what ? he always does the same thing to me , too . he 's been doing that since he 's been a little boy . lucas : okay ! and they 're ganging up on me already . nice , you guys . real nice . okay , brad , so how about this ? would you like to come to my sister 's wedding with me ? brad : well , i 'd be honored . lucas : great . well , do n't get too excited . nobody supports the marriage . and everybody hates the groom . heather : will you just shut that off ? you know i ca n't stand her . franco : the bride - to - be ? we have that in common . heather : i mean olivia . for some bizarre reason , your brother steven lars could n't resist her . franco : uh - oh . and we know what happens to the girlfriend when she does n't get the heather webber seal of approval . heather : that 's right . franco : so , how come she 's not six feet under ? heather : not for lack of trying . she 's like a cockroach . i went so far as to inject her with a lethal dose of lsd , but did she die ? franco : i 'm guessing no . heather : just like carly . you know , sometimes , when i 'm in my miserable , little bed in my miserable , little room , i dream that i 'll get a second chance to rid the world of those scourges . but then i wake up , and i realize i 'm gon na be locked in here forever . franco : that could change . heather : how ? franco : you 're the mother of the groom . i simply must have you at my wedding . carly : franco and his mother are two different people . olivia : not so different if you ask me . carly : i did n't ask you . okay ? and in case you 're wondering , your invitation did n't get lost in the mail , and neither did sonny 's . so on halloween , you guys can hang out together and trick yourselves into believing i 'm making the biggest mistake of my life , and you can treat yourself to a helping of holier- than - thou . olivia : i like that little play on words . carly : thank you . olivia : that does n't change the fact that you 're protesting way too much . why do n't you just admit that you made a mistake ? carly : why do n't you shut up and stop worrying about who i love , who i 'm marrying , and whether he 's like his mother , heather webber ? ! olivia : oh , my god ! carly : what now ? olivia : it 's heather ! she 's got a knife ! carly : for god 's sake , olivia , it 's sonny . sonny : you okay ? what 's going on ? carly : she 's not okay . she 's having another lsd episode . olivia : it 's not an episode . they 're visions , and since i just saw heather webber standing there with a gigantic knife , it probably means that that lunatic is on the loose . sonny : heather webber ? what do you mean , heather webber ? olivia : she was standing there , clear as day , brandishing a gigantic butcher knife , which means , one way or the other , that lunatic is gon na try and kill someone . franco : you are a very important part of my wedding plan . heather : i am ? franco : yes , you are . i think it 's gon na be so much fun . dad will be there . oh , and carly 's lying mom -- she 'll be there , too . heather : well , the rotten apple does n't fall very far from the rotten tree , does it ? franco : will you make me the happiest son in the world and be the witness to the happiest day of my life when i finally get back at carly ? heather : i 'd love nothing more . but no one here is gon na grant me a day pass , not even for an event as monumental as this . so how can i possibly be at your wedding ? franco : you just leave that to me . michael : you 're telling me that somebody strong - armed carlos into a confession ? sabrina : yes . michael : how ? sabrina : by threatening to hurt me and my baby . michael : your baby . i , uh -- i heard about that . i 'm sorry for your loss . sabrina : thank you . [ clears throat ] michael : so , the accident you were in ... sabrina : it might be connected . it might not be , but that part we 're just -- we 're still trying to figure out , but , uh , the threat to us was real . so , carlos took the rap and went to prison for a.j . 's murder . michael : to protect you ? sabrina : yeah . michael : from who ? sabrina : [ sighs ] michael : hey , this is my father . please , i deserve to know how and why he died . who was carlos protecting you from ? sabrina : ava jerome . michael : what is that ? silas : it relaxes the uterus . it 's designed to slow or stop contractions . the idea is to give the baby some more time . ava : well , i like that idea . silas : mm . morgan : yeah , me , too . silas : i also have a medication that will speed up the baby 's lung maturity just in case the little guy or girl is born early . ava : and is that in the form of a - a pill or another needle ? silas : the latter one . ava : well , that 's -- uh ... two shots in one day . that 's nice . silas : still not a fan , i take it . ava : [ chuckles ] well , if it works , i 'll manage . silas : i 'll give it my best shot , no pun intended . ava : [ groans ] silas : take a breath . kiki : ugh . all right . [ chuckles ] now what ? silas : now we wait and see . nina : i was the apple of daddy 's eye . and you were ... the worm . it 's no surprise that daddy left me to control his millions and left his worm of a wife ... shriveled up and rotted . madeline : is that really how you see me ? nina : that 's how daddy saw you . i see you as a lying , manipulative witch . that 's how i see you . but , hey , mom , i 'm really impressed by your efforts . convincing silas that i was a corpse so he would sign off all of my fortune to you -- that was pretty good ... until you went to prison and i woke up from my coma . yeah . poor mommy , dead broke at the mercy of your son -- well , actually , he 's not your son -- who hates you even more than i -- oh , well , actually , he does n't hate you more than i do . nina : j 's opinion of you is the least of your worries , mother . the way that i see it , you have two options . number one -- you help me wrangle ava jerome 's baby in exchange for some of daddy 's millions . option two is you ... work at the local supermarket while sharing j 's apartment and his salary . whoo , wow . that is a tough one . [ sighs ] hmm ... [ lock disengages ] nathan : madeline , are you in there ? bobbie : so , brad , how do you like working at g.h . ? lucas : mom , i do n't think brad wants to talk about his job right now . brad : i do n't mind . bobbie : we could talk about yours if you had one . lucas : okay . here we go . bobbie : brad , do n't you think lucas should stop living off me and his sister ? lucas : mom ! bobbie : you know , i mean , he keeps promising that he 's gon na go out and look for work , and then he comes up with every excuse in the world not to . lucas : no , that 's not true . i 've looked . there just has n't been a good fit , yet . bobbie : okay . maybe brad could help you find one . brad : uh ... sure . i - i can , uh , check at the hospital . but , uh , i do n't know what he 'd be qualified for . in the medical field , i mean . bobbie : well , there 's always doctor . brad : [ laughs ] yeah , that 'd be ... wait , what ? bobbie : doctor -- you know , treating patients , saving lives . my son is certainly qualified . brad : he is ? bobbie : lucas has four years of medical school . brad : you went to medical school ? and finished ? bobbie : yes . brad : okay , that i 'd have remembered . bobbie : i thought you would . brad : after everything we shared when we first met , how similar our lives turned out to be , you did n't think to mention this ? bobbie : well , lucas does n't talk much about his medical degree . brad : yeah , apparently . lucas : being a doctor is n't my thing . bobbie : but you put so much time into studying . and according to the doctors that i know , he was gifted . he graduated at the top of his class . brad : uh ... wow . lucas : i do n't want to practice medicine . it 's not a crime . i 'll find something else to do . bobbie : but you have n't yet . brad : have you ever tried practicing ? bobbie : no . but he should . with your knowledge and your compassion , you would make a wonderful doctor . lucas : i do n't know if that 's true , mom . bobbie : well , i do . brad , do n't you think that 's true ? brad : that would depend on why lucas made the choice not to use his medical degree . nathan : madeline ? come on . open up . nina : he calls you madeline . [ scoffs ] think of all those millions , mother . get rid of j . nathan : what 's going on ? why did you put the chain on the door ? madeline : because of nina . silas : so far , so good . how are you feeling ? ava : better . whatever you did seems to be working . silas : okay . kiki : thank you so much , silas . ava : sending kiki to go and get you was the best decision we could have made . silas : i just wish you were in a hospital , that 's all . kiki : i told you -- she ca n't go . morgan : no . unh - unh . it 's too dangerous . silas : why ? because she 's in hiding ? who 's after you ? michael : carlos told you that ava jerome forced him to confess ? sabrina : yes . michael : how ? why ? sabrina : it is n't that far of a stretch , is it ? carlos was working for ava . he was essentially her right - hand man . michael : what , and he 's that loyal ? he 's willing to take a murder rap just because she told him to ? sabrina : like i said , ava found his weakness . michael : you and your baby . sabrina : she got him to do what she wanted by threatening us . michael : again , why ? sabrina : to cast off suspicion . michael : what , from herself ? sabrina : i -- [ chuckles ] michael : wait , are you telling me that ava jerome killed my father ? sabrina : i - i do n't know that . michael : but that 's what carlos thinks . sabrina : no , he does n't know either , not for sure . michael : what exactly did he say , word for word ? sabrina : ava never admitted to shooting aj . michael : but ... ? sabrina : but ... carlos knows for a fact that ava wanted aj quartermaine dead . sonny : are you sure you saw heather ? olivia : well , no . i mean , i guess now that you say that , i - i - i guess it could have been santa claus ! yes , sonny ! i think i know heather webber when i see her . sonny : i did n't know you were still having these visions , but you know what ? what 's going on here ? olivia : well , i did n't think i was having them either . i have n't had one in months , so why ? why would this be happening to me right now ? carly : calm down , okay ? you 're not . you just have heather webber on the brain . we were just talking about her . this is a simple case of your imagination running wild with you . olivia : i am not a five year old imagining monsters underneath my bed . i saw heather webber standing right there , in all her whacked - out glory , waving around a gigantic knife . carly : okay . you believe this is a premonition . olivia : yes , i do . carly : how is that possible ? heather is locked up . olivia : what , and she 's never escaped before ? carly : no . not from the maximum - security wing . they have an entire security team dedicated to heather . the only way she 's getting out of that hospital is in a coffin . olivia : okay , you both have every right to doubt me . i understand that . sometimes the meaning of my visions is not clear . but these premonitions are real , and they always , always come true . heather : so , what 's the plan ? you gon na bust me out or ... pay off a guard ? this is n't like miscavige . after all those comings and goings , they 've saddled me with a -- well , a very intense security detail -- a bunch of incorruptible bozos . franco : do n't you worry . i 've got everything under control . you just need to be ready to roll . heather : when ? i mean , i want to make sure i get my hair done and ... franco : it 's tomorrow . it 's halloween . heather : it is . that 's my favorite holiday . is that why you picked it ? for me ? franco : yeah . heather : oh ! you are the best son in the world ... even though you tried to kill me . hey , this is perfect . i already have an outfit picked out for the party they 're throwing for the inmates . franco : inmates ? you 're not in prison . heather : close enough . but i 'm not sure it 's proper attire for the mother of the groom . franco : it does n't matter what you wear . you could show up in a garbage bag just so long as you come through for me . heather : of course i will . what is it , exactly , that you want me to do ? heather : i want to be prepared for my part in the ceremony . will there be a mother / son dance ? i have some music in mind . franco : all will be explained at the wedding . i have prepared a riveting video presentation not to be missed , especially not by michael corinthos iii . heather : sounds delicious . franco : oh , it will be delicious . it will completely annihilate michael 's relationship with his parents . sonny and carly 's worst nightmare will finally come to life . heather : i love an explosive movie . franco : so do i. i should get going . heather : no , no , no . so soon ? franco : well , if i 'm gon na spring you , i 've got a lot of work to do . but once it 's done , you and i will have the whole day to discuss the fate that awaits carly . heather : thank you so much for having the decency to admit i was right about her . carly : i know what this is about . olivia : oh , really ? i 'm glad one of us does . carly : it 's a lame attempt to try and scare me off franco . olivia : are you kidding me ? you think i like having heather webber popping up at me like a monster in a spook house ? do n't flatter yourself . this is not about you and freako . carly : oh , that -- that 's mature . olivia : if you want to go ahead and throw your life away marrying that hot mess of a sociopath , you go ahead and be my guest , just do n't say i did n't warn you . sonny : where are you going ? olivia : i 'm gon na give the two of you a little bit of privacy . i know how sonny feels about your fiancé . i 'm sure you have a lot to discuss . sonny : okay , let 's -- let 's get a drink . come on . let 's get a drink . come on . olivia : what , us ? ! sonny : yeah , yeah . us . come here . i think you could use one at this point . as far as carly , i think i 've said everything that needs to be said . michael : why would ava want aj dead ? sabrina : i do n't know . michael : carlos must have told you something . sabrina : he did n't , michael . i 'm sorry . i even debated whether or not to even bring it up , because ... i knew that you would be desperate for answers . michael : ava came to port charles with the goal to take over elq . that was way before aj was murdered . and killing aj would n't have helped her get the company anyway . sabrina : i wish i had something more concrete . michael : wait . new york . sabrina : what ? michael : aj was killed in ava 's penthouse . but ava claims that she was in new york that night , but she could have been lying . she usually is . sabrina : should i not have said anything ? michael : no , no . i 'm -- i 'm glad you did . sabrina : i just felt like you had the right to know . look , i 'm sorry to just run off , but , um ... there 's somewhere else i need to be right now -- another wrong to take care of . are you gon na be okay ? michael : yeah , i 'm fine . sabrina : are you sure ? michael : yeah . thank you . thank you for letting me know . ava : i 'm sorry , silas . i wish i could tell you . morgan : we ca n't let you in on this . kiki : it 's not that we do n't trust you . ava : no . it 's nothing like that . morgan : no . we just -- we just do n't want you more involved than you already are . silas : but you 're in danger . ava : yes . morgan : because of your work , and of course , i do n't mean the gallery . morgan : bottom line is that if anyone finds her here , ava 's a dead woman . silas : well , they wo n't hear it from me . i 'm gon na get washed up . is the bathroom somewhere ? kiki : yeah . i 'll show you . silas : okay . morgan : hey . how are you holding up ? ava : i think it 's working . i feel so much better , morgan . kiki : i really do n't know how to thank you , again . silas : you do n't . it 's how this works , okay ? i may have missed out on the first 20 years or so , but i 'm your father . if you ever need me , i 'm gon na be there . kiki : well , that makes me very lucky . silas : i 'm the lucky one . kiki : no , really . i appreciate it . i realize that i 'm asking a lot from you -- not just with my mom 's situation , but also with what 's going on with nina . nathan : you put the chain on the door because of nina ? why ? have you heard from her ? madeline : no . no , i just wanted to be on the safe side in case she showed up . what about you ? have you been able to track her down ? nathan : i did n't want to believe you when you told me about her violent streak . madeline : why ? what happened ? nathan : nina attacked silas . madeline : oh , my god . nathan : apparently they were arguing and she knocked him out . madeline : [ sighs ] nathan : look , i got to keep looking for her . who knows what she could do next . madeline : james , wait . lucas : this is not my favorite topic . bobbie : well , you know , maybe not , but it needs to be addressed . especially now that push is coming to shove when it comes to making a living . brad : why do n't you want to be a doctor ? lucas : i told you about my adoptive father , tony jones , right ? brad : yeah . that guy 's a legend around the hospital . a surgeon , right ? bobbie : he was a brilliant surgeon . lucas : yeah , see ? that 's just it . i can never measure up . it 's , like , statistically impossible . bobbie : well , first of all , you do n't know that , not until you at least try . and second of all , tony was a neurosurgeon . you have n't even chosen a specialty . you could be in an entirely different field if you wanted to be . lucas : i 'm guessing there 's a `` third of all . `` bobbie : i have no doubt you would be every bit as brilliant as the man who raised you . you certainly were in medical school . lucas : yeah , good in school is one thing . saving lives is a whole nother thing . i - i do n't know that the talent translates . maybe it does n't . bobbie : why would you even think that ? lucas : how many college quarterbacks make it in the nfl ? not many . bobbie : we 're not talking about football . lucas : we 're talking about something a hell of a lot more important . i 'm not gon na ask someone to trust me with their life if i do n't believe that i 'm the best to save them . bobbie : but you could be the best ! brad , do n't you think -- lucas : mom , enough . enough ! mom ! brad : look , look , look . i - i love the idea of working with your son , but ... it 's entirely your decision . bobbie : you know , why do n't you just talk to chief obrecht ? would that be so hard ? lucas : oh , no , that 's another thing . i do not want to work with that lunatic . brad : she threw me off a parapet , and i still work for her . bobbie : what ? ! brad : bygones . lucas : oh , my gosh . when did this night go so terribly wrong ? i -- okay , if i agree to talk to dr. obrecht , can we finally go and go to trivia night ? brad : absolutely . lucas : done . mom , you happy ? bobbie : i am very happy , and your new boyfriend definitely has my stamp of approval . lucas : yeah , mine , too , despite the blatant double team . brad : who , me ? lucas : mm - hmm . bobbie : i just wish i could find someone to team up with me to talk some sense into your sister . olivia : you can not possibly be as calm as you 're acting about carly and franco . sonny : i like it better when you call him freako . i 'm fine . everything -- well , what do you want me to say ? i 'm fine . olivia : how is this fine ? sonny : i just -- i just do n't think the wedding 's gon na happen . carly : hey ! franco : there you are . carly : hi ! franco : hi . oh , look . it 's sonny . carly : yeah . who cares ? [ chuckles ] so , long day ? franco : yeah . really long . but very productive . you would n't believe how much work i got done . guard : did you have a nice visit with your son ? heather : he 's my pride and joy . guard : you must be tired after all the excitement . time to get you back to your room so you can rest up . heather : yes . so i can dream about halloween and how nice it would be to be out enjoying it instead of locked up in here . kiki : it sounds like nina 's totally lost it . silas : in a big way . kiki : i 'm so sorry . what do you think 's gon na happen ? silas : i do n't know . i still have n't heard anything back from detective west . just hope like hell the cops can track nina down . nathan : what is it ? you think you know where she might be ? madeline : i 'm so sorry . i should have told you about her before . we could have avoided all this . nathan : yeah , well , you did n't . and now it 's too late . look , if i do n't find nina soon , she 's bound to hurt somebody else . silas : appreciate all your concern . it means a lot . [ cell phone rings ] kiki : oh , sorry . it 's michael . silas : take it . i 'm gon na go see how your mom 's doing . kiki : okay . michael , hey . michael : what are you doing right now ? kiki : uh , no - not much . why ? is something wrong ? michael : i - i - i do n't know . i just found something out . i , um -- i need to talk to you about your mother . madeline : good luck finding your sister . nathan : thanks . madeline : and in the meantime , i 'll just -- i 'll just stay here in case she shows up . nathan : look , if she does , you call me right away , and do not let her in . madeline : i wo n't . nathan : all right . put the lock on the door before i go . madeline : i will . nina : [ claps ] brava , mommy . you almost had me going . does ... this mean ... you 're gon na help me take ava 's baby ? madeline : yes , i will . [ next_on ] nathan : ( to rosalie ) that could be nina . nina : ( to madeline ) i just need you to fix this for me . jordan : ( to tj ) what 's with the attitude ? michael : ( to kiki ) your mother might be the one who killed aj . ava : ( to silas ) for a smart man , you really are such an idiot . sonny : ( to shawn ) franco gave us heather 's motive . franco : ( to carly ) i know what 's going on between you and sonny .

[ keyboard clacking ] [ scene_break ] lulu : the worst part about dillon declaring his love for me was n't even the kiss . it was the fact that he was trashing dante . maxie : i just do n't understand how dillon thought that would work . i mean , he writes beautifully and truthfully about relationships , but in real life [ scoffs ] tragic . so , what did he say ? lulu : see , that 's the thing . he did n't even get that specific . maxie : `` ambiguity is the hallmark of a weak argument . `` abraham lincoln . lulu : mm - hmm . dillon kept going on and on about how he 's better for me and how dante does n't deserve me . dillon : dante does n't deserve you . and i told dante that , too . and i told him why . i assume he told you that ? lulu : no . but then again , why would he ? dillon : if he told you , you would know . maxie : all right , dillon , that 's it . put up or shut up . what could dante have possibly done beyond one stupid kiss that would make him so unworthy of lulu ? first nathan , and now you . is there a reason that nobody wants to tell me their secrets ? dillon : uh , yeah . because you 're a blab . maxie : i might be that , but you 're worse . you 're making harsh , hurtful insinuations about lulu 's marriage . are -- are you gon na back any of that up with facts ? dillon : not unless dante gives me a reason to . maxie : okay , translation -- dillon is lying . he 's got nothing on dante . [ scene_break ] dante : the man has a point . lies have a way of mushrooming out of control . olivia : i get it . i do . it just hurts . dante : [ sighs ] i know , ma . olivia : [ sniffles ] port charles is my home . and , i mean , my work is here , my life is here . and it 's a life that i love , so i had to make a choice . it was either live in brooklyn with ned , in hiding , without you , or live here with you and without ned . and i chose my family . i want -- i want ned . but i need you . [ sniffles ] dante : we need you here , too ... ma . i just ca n't help worrying that you 're taking a huge risk ... [ sighs ] ... keeping leo so close to julian . [ sighs ] sometimes , no matter how hard you try , the truth ... comes out in the end . olivia : are we still talking about my lies here ? or are you hiding something yourself ? [ scene_break ] lucas : look , i appreciate your concern , but you do n't need to go all papa bear on me about brad . julian : all right . so , is this martinez woman holding up the divorce ? because if -- you know , i can talk to her . in or out of the business , i can be very persuasive . lucas : rosalie is not the issue . julian : then what is it ? lucas : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] brad : when i told lucas the truth , it was awful . but we 've hashed it all out , and he 's actually willing to wait for me until i can extricate myself from this marriage . alexis : so your parents wanted you to marry a woman . the world is changing very quickly now . is it possible that they may have softened their position on this ? brad : [ sighs ] alexis : so i will help you with your divorce . brad : [ sighs ] see , that 's the thing -- my parents are actually the least of my problems . if i get a divorce , i could end up going to prison for years and years .

[ chuckles ] kevin : i 've been wondering how you 're doing . anna : not good . not good . kevin : come on . [ door opens ] kevin : [ sighs ] you know , it 's -- it 's perfectly understandable to be still grieving for duke . anna : i miss him every day , you know ? i think about him every night , all night . kevin : anything in particular ? anna : his death . the brutal , cold - blooded way he was killed . [ sighs ] kevin , this is gon na sound really strange , you being a man of science and everything , but , um ... i swear ... i 'm being haunted . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sonny : at first , i thought it was morgan who killed rivera , especially after he almost took out julian . but he 's backed off , right ? max : do n't worry about morgan . we 're keeping an eye on him . sonny : [ sighs ] the thing is , you know , if carlos did shoot me , we know who ordered the hit -- julian . max : or ava , since she 's back in charge of the jerome organization . sonny : but i 'm not convinced that carlos was the shooter . max : whoever did it might try it again . sonny : all right . max : you okay with the people we got guarding you ? sonny : yeah , that 's fine . and i 'm glad milo 's around . max : [ chuckles ] truthfully , boss , i think he 's glad to have an excuse to come back . i mean , he 's got a great girlfriend , but , uh , civilian life is pretty much a bust for him . sonny : now that he 's back , you think you can do more specialized work ? max : you need me to do a job ? sonny : i want you to find out who went behind my back and killed carlos . [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] carly : hey . patrick 's ready to see you . max : i 'm glad you 're looking so good , boss . sonny : yeah , thanks for keeping an eye on things , max . max : my pleasure . i know we 'll be back on top again soon . see you later . patrick : well , well , i hear you two got married last night . congratulations . sonny : yeah , yeah . i 'm on a winning streak , so we just got to keep things going . just give me the release papers so i can , you know , go home to my wife ... today .

[ scene_break ] dante : [ grunts ] you know , ma , your story about adopting a little boy who just happens to be the same age as leo was when he `` died `` is n't gon na hold up for very long . once that kid starts to look like jerome , he 's gon na start asking some questions . olivia : he already did . that 's why i had to blurt out that story about the adoption in the first place . luckily , julian bought it . dante : good . olivia : you know , alexis , on the other hand -- she made a point of chatting me up at the metro court bar . she was n't exactly accusing me of anything , but she was definitely making insinuations . dante : did you convince her to back off ? olivia : eh , she walked out with her tail between her legs . [ sighs ] at least , i think she did . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , if you divorce or get an annulment ... brad : all bets are off , and we could both wind up doing some hard time . alexis : did you commit a felony ? brad : oh , yeah . alexis : what exactly did you do ? brad : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : okay , you just tell me what the problem is , and i will fix it . i will clear the way for you and brad to be married , and then then we can see if brad really wants to marry you . lucas : thank you , dad . i appreciate that , but brad assures me he 's handling it . julian : all right . you know , i just want my kids to ... get what they want . lucas : i can not believe how far you 've come . julian : what ? lucas : man , when i think back about the day i told you that i was gay ... julian : okay , okay , okay . let 's not bring that up . not my proudest moment . lucas : and now you 're getting ready to attend your first same - sex wedding . julian : i ca n't even believe that . lucas : i mean , it 's , uh ... it really is nuts . julian : a lot of things have happened since i first came back here to port charles , that 's for sure . lucas : yeah , from bigoted mobster to open - minded , legit dude . julian : well , i did n't know i was gon na have so many reasons to change . i was given a lot of gifts all at once . a lot of people to love and do right by . and , to top it all off , i was lucky to somehow convince alexis to love me . i am one blessed dude . i 'll tell you that much . lucas : well , we 're just as blessed to have you , pop . julian : thanks . it means a lot . [ scene_break ] kevin : duke was the love of your life . it 's natural to think you see him , to imagine that he 's with you . it 's a coping mechanism . as long as you acknowledge that it 's not real , there 's nothing to worry about . anna : i would n't mind if it was duke i was seeing . i 'd welcome that , actually , just to see his smile again , even if it was in my imagination , just for a split second . that would be everything to me . it 's not duke i 'm hallucinating . it 's his killer -- carlos rivera . [ scene_break ] carly : why do n't we let patrick update us on your condition before we start pushing to go home ? sonny : i know i 've got a ways to go before i 'm 100 % , but i 'm feeling much better . patrick : well , that 's a good sign , but , sonny , there 's a lot -- sonny : see , the doctor says so , carly . just , i 'll go home , and i 'll get my legs working in no time . patrick : okay , your recovery is gon na require more than a change of scenery . we need to get together on a comprehensive plan to get you back -- sonny : i got to get out of the hospital , patrick . i got urgent business . i want to get home and be a good husband to carly . we got to fight ava jerome for the custody of -- of avery , my daughter . just give me the release papers , and we 'll just get this going . patrick : i 'm sorry , sonny . but you are nowhere near ready to go home yet . [ scene_break ] anna : i thought i saw carlos on the docks . kevin : well , that 's where they found his body . that would make sense . anna : no , that 's what does n't make sense . is the fact that the medical examiner concluded the body had only been dead a few weeks . kevin : and why is that odd ? anna : all right , kevin , as your patient , everything we say in here is confidential , right ? kevin : all of it . i 'm only required to alert the authorities if a patient threatens to hurt someone . anna : what if a crime 's already been committed ? kevin : well , that 's a gray area constantly challenged by law enforcement , but in almost every case , confidentiality remains intact . the question is , why ? what are you trying to tell me ? [ scene_break ] patrick : sonny , you suffered a critical gunshot wound . sonny : i know , patrick . i was there . patrick : that injury led to an aneurysm in your brain that nearly killed you . you have had two major surgeries that have led to complications that are gon na need continual monitoring . you have n't begun to regain the use of your legs yet . sonny : because you got me cooped up in this hospital ! patrick : come on , sonny , that is not why . you know that . you think you 're gon na go home and magically regain your mobility ? carly : okay , what do you recommend , patrick ? patrick : you need to get the house ready for a wheelchair . you need lifts . you need ramps . you need somebody to take a look at that chair and make sure that it 's comfortable for you . sonny : why go to all the trouble if i 'm gon na -- if -- that 's temporary , 'cause i 'm gon na beat this thing . carly : okay , you 're not listening to patrick . he 's trying to explain to you -- sonny : no , i 'm listening . every word . i just do n't agree . [ scene_break ] brad : i 've never told anyone about this . only rosalie and a few others know . alexis : well , if you want me to help you , you 're gon na have to tell me . brad : i want to . i - i do . it 's just -- it 's not easy . julian : alexis . what are you doing here ? alexis : uh , just getting some lab results on a case i 'm working with . lucas : hey . brad : hey . lucas : you got a minute ? dad 's taking off . apparently he 's got something important to do . brad : yeah , i 've got a few minutes . uh , so , i guess that 's all for now ? alexis : right . so , i 'm free now . julian : mm . alexis : unless , of course , you have to deal with that important errand . [ cell phone ringing ] julian : yeah , about ... [ sighs ] oh , um , excuse me . [ scene_break ] olivia : leo was gon na grow up here , safe in port charles , surrounded by his family .

[ chuckles ] olivia : what are you saying ? dante : well , uh , i think we 're gon na go ahead with that second child . we got the all - clear from a doctor , and we 're gon na have a consultation with the fertility specialist about implanting our embryo . olivia : ohh ! [ chuckles ] congratulations . well , that really takes some of the sting out of losing ned . thank god . i was starting to worry that there was some kind of problem between you and lulu . you were acting so strange . is there something that you 're not telling me ? dante : [ sighs ] you do n't miss a thing , do you , ma ? olivia : no , i do n't . i can read you like a book . so -- so tell me . is there something going on between you and lulu ? [ scene_break ] maxie : in light of what happened with you and lulu -- dillon : and that would n't have happened if you had n't betrayed my confidence . maxie : okay , yes , i did tell lulu about your feelings for her . but i do n't recall forcing you to trash dante or stick your tongue in her mouth . did i do that ? dillon : no . maxie : thank you . therefore , in light of the upcoming halloween festivities , i think it 's in everybody 's best interest that we find another place to shoot the movie . dillon : i ca n't ! i 'm already hemorrhaging money due to all these delays . maxie : that 's because you freak out every time you 're in lulu 's airspace . i get that you 're in the throes of unrequited love , but , dillon , you 're the director . you need to man up and direct . clearly , that ca n't happen on the haunted star , so we need to shoot the movie elsewhere . dillon : how ? hmm ? i do n't have the budget to start over somewhere else , okay ? if i ca n't finish this film here , the entire movie will be dead in the water . maxie : oh , dillon , must i remind you what i unfortunately witnessed yesterday ? dillon : poor choice of words . sorry . maxie : [ sighs ] dillon : but , maxie , there 's something you are not considering . if this movie folds , you 're out of a job . maxie : if we shoot somewhere else , i wo n't be . dillon : we can not shoot somewhere else , maxie , okay ? so , yeah , you will , and so will everybody else that 's been working on this movie with us . do you really want to let them all down like that ? do you really want to let my dream die like that ? lulu , i am sorry , okay ? ca n't you forgive me ? let me finish my movie here . [ scene_break ] julian : yeah , yeah . so it 's a done deal ? great . listen , thank you for keeping this quiet the whole time . you bet . alexis : all right , what is going on ? julian : what do you think is going on ? alexis : i do n't know what to think . you tell me . i mean , you repeatedly say that you 're out of the mob . julian : that 's correct . i am . alexis : so , what gives ? clearly you 're hiding something from me . frankly , i 'm not really okay with that . so if you want me to trust you , you 're gon na have to tell me what it is . julian : okay , okay , fine . i will tell you . just not here . i will tell you everything once we get home . so , what do you think ? alexis : um , i think it 's -- it 's very nice . it 's ... spectacular , really . w - who are we visiting ? julian : we 're not . alexis : okay , uh , then why are we here ? i thought we were going home so you could come clean about your clandestine goings on . julian : well , we are home , and i am coming clean . alexis : what ? julian : this . this right here is the reason for all those mysterious phone calls . see , i was on the phone with contractors and designers , just making sure that everything was perfect for you . this is your new house , alexis . [ door opens ] julian : welcome home . [ scene_break ] dante : uh , lulu and i hit a bit of a rough patch . olivia : what happened ? dante : look , ma , all you need to know is that i was wrong . it was my fault , and i 'm trying to make it up to my wife . olivia : okay . well , are you sure ? 'cause you still seem a little worried . dante : every time i think that we 're getting back to normal , i have to ... put out another fire . olivia : what kind of fire ? dante : [ sighs ] well , for one thing , dillon quartermaine told lulu that he has feelings for her , and then he kissed her . [ scene_break ] lulu : after everything that 's happened , i do n't feel comfortable with you filming here anymore . dillon : look , lulu , i promise that what i did before will not happen again . and if that means that we only discuss stuff about the movie while working on the set -- lulu : you know what i 'm having a problem with ? this whole apology has nothing to do with actually regretting what you 've done . dillon : yes , it does . lulu : see , i think that if you did n't need to shoot the movie here , you would back everything you said about my husband . i think that you would still back that kiss . maxie : well , i do n't think that 's the case . lulu : i think you probably think that i am doing this for dante , because you said bad things about him , but dante would never ask me to stop production . this decision is mine . and i 'm sorry , but it 's what i have to do . dillon : aw , man , i am such an idiot . maxie : okay , lulu , hold on a second . this is n't just dillon 's project . this is my movie , too . dillon : forget it , maxie . it 's over . maxie : no , i refuse to accept that . if we ca n't shoot here , then we need to get the money to film someplace else . dillon : i have already gotten $ 500,000 from my father . i ca n't ask him for anything else . maxie : why ? what 's the worst he could do besides say no ? oh , we could ask lulu 's brother . nikolas is loaded . dillon : nikolas already offered to fund my movie , but in exchange , he wanted my shares of elq , and i ca n't put the family business in jeopardy like that . maxie : well , if we only knew other people with money , like rich relatives . dillon : yeah ? maxie : oh , come on , dillon . you 're a quartermaine . dillon : i ca n't just pump my family for bucks . maxie : then what 's the point of being related to those back - biting lunatics ? dillon : well , what about you ? do n't you know anybody who 's loaded and would like to be a patron of the arts and of your acting career ? maxie : of course , i do n't know anyone like that . dillon : then we 're done . maxie : okay , fine , fine . if we ca n't get friends and family to help us , we 'll just have total strangers pay for it . lulu : you 're going to panhandle ? maxie : yeah , only legit and on the internet . dillon : like crowdsourcing ? maxie : bingo . indie filmmakers do it all the time to fund their movies . there 's actually a website called fabphilanthropy that people get online and search for projects that need their contribution . lulu : how do they make their money back ? maxie : they do n't . the artist just gives them , like , a small part in the movie or their name in the credits or a free dvd , depending on what they give . dillon : it ca n't hurt . lulu : i actually think it 's a great idea . it could potentially solve a lot of problems . maxie : great . then you could kick off the campaign by making the halloween party a benefit . lulu : what ? maxie : come on , lulu . scoffs ] now that dillon 's movie is homeless , do n't you have it in your heart to do this ? [ scene_break ] kevin : anna . have you committed a crime ? if you have , you can tell me . anna : duke and i had finally got back together , you know , after his thing with , um -- kevin : with lucy . i know . it happened some time after we were divorced . i 've dealt with it . this is about you . anna : so , we were gon na go away . we were gon na spend the rest of our lives together , away from all this -- the killing and the mob wars and the violence . but by the time he reached me on the dock , he had already been shot by carlos . i tried to save him .

[ exhales deeply ] [ scene_break ] carly : you said that morgan 's bipolar disorder was under control and that , between therapy and medication , that morgan would be able to manage his condition . andré : right . carly : you said it was safe for morgan to leave freedman . andré : because at the time the medications were working . his blood work at the clinic confirmed this . morgan was thinking clearly . he was making rational decisions . michael : it was only in the last three weeks that he started to seem a little off . carly : okay , guys , i 'm not crazy here . there was something different about morgan , okay ? and it started when he up and decided to go back to school . he was impulsive , h - he was moody , he was sleeping more in the afternoon , and i was worried sick about him ! but he assured me he was taking his medication and that he was going to therapy with you , so please , doctor , please explain it to me how you did not know something was wrong . andré : looking back at -- i find morgan 's emotional trajectory over the past few weeks to be very confusing . to be honest , i 've never seen anything quite like it . [ scene_break ] nelle : is everything okay ? sonny : yeah , it will be , as soon as ava leaves . nelle : okay , well , in case i watch avery again , i need to know , is it okay if ava just stops by to see her ? sonny : absolutely not . she does n't get to see my daughter unless there 's supervision . nelle : sounds like you hate her . sonny : what was your first clue ? nelle : well , there are different kinds of hate . there 's the hate that 's the flip side of love , where the person just gets to you , you know , gets under your skin . sonny : oh , yeah . nelle : then there 's the hate when you 're feel angry or betrayed . somebody you trusted just double - crossed you . it 's all mixed up with feelings of regret and wishing that things could have been different . sonny : yeah . nelle : but the way you look at ava ... you 're not mixed up , there 's no regret . it 's pure , ice cold . it 's almost as if to say the way that you hate her is ... dangerous . sonny : `` dangerous `` is the right word . nelle : so , how did you have a child together ? sonny : it 's a long , ugly story , which makes me look bad , and it makes ava look worse . the great part of the story is that little girl upstairs . she 's -- she 's a miracle , and i 'm gon na do everything to protect her . nelle : um , from ava ? sonny : ava is toxic . she ruins everything she touches . nelle : now , does that mean morgan ? she said that she and morgan were , like , good friends , and that 's why she was in his room . sonny : morgan was never ava 's friend . she manipulated him , she seduced him , turned him against his family . she tr -- even tricked him to betray his own girlfriend . and i 'm gon na tell you something about -- about morgan . he -- he had a generous heart . he was trustworthy . and he was vulnerable , and she took advantage of that . well , let me tell you something -- what goes around comes around . all the pain that she 's caused , she will pay . you say that my heart is -- is cold ? it is -- it is frozen .

sonny and carly are both alone in their respective homes , both in crisis over the loss of morgan . michael is with his mom while she gets settled into her old house . she declares she needs some answers as to how , when and why her son went downhill , got expelled from school , started drinking , and the unsolved mystery of when , how , why or if he stopped taking his meds , which everyone believed were proven to help him stay on track . she calls andré over and demands to know what he has to say about his assessment of her son 's illness throughout the time he was hospitalized and then released . andre informs carly that morgan did n't go for the blood test he 'd ordered and admits he has no answers . meanwhile , ava knows she has to eliminate any and all evidence that could tie her to what happened to morgan . she goes into his bedroom to take and replace the meds she tampered with when nelle finds her . she can clearly see there is something very suspicious about ava and sonny 's connection to his infant daughter 's mom . he confides in her how ava poses a threat to everyone he loves including morgan . nelle is worried when she hears that and calls carly expressing her concerns about sonny . carly refuses to listen and hangs up . sonny first has a dream that carly has come back to him and declares her love and permanent commitment to him , in spite of what happened to morgan . he later dreams that she and ava arrange to take avery from him and carly declares she trusts ava with the baby and not him because ava , at least , did not get morgan killed . ava leaves the house and puts the meds she wants to hide in the trash . yet shortly thereafter , we see someone reach in and take them out of the trash .

[ scene_break ] robin : sorry . i know i just dropped a bombshell , but i 've learned that in the long run , it 's better to just get it out in the open right away . henri : if you do n't mind my asking , how ? robin : my first boyfriend had aids . we did n't know in the beginning and we just got swept away . i contracted h.i.v . , was diagnosed early . stone was n't so lucky . he died . henri : i 'm sorry . robin : it was devastating -- losing stone , having to start all over h.i.v.-positive . but , you know , just like with anything , you make the adjustment and you learn how to live your new life . i 'm on a drug regimen that works for me . my viral load is undetectable . i was one of the fortunate ones . i try not to lose sight of that . henri : hmm . that 's a remarkable attitude . robin : i do n't know about all that . i just think i 'm too stubborn to let this disease define me . henri : hmm . robin : but even so , h.i.v . complicates potential relationships , and right now i 'd just rather put that energy into my work .

[ anthony laughs ] anthony : that 's good . excellent . really , excellent . who knew ? [ anthony laughs ] ric : i 'll admit that your plan does sound good in theory -- if you were successful to be able to shut down the zacchara organization and leave sonny untouched , but it 's not going to happen . see , there 's a fatal flaw in your reasoning that 's pretty simple for most people to understand . see , you are assuming sonny is just going to step aside while you destroy the organization that he wants to run . sonny knows the only way he 's going to get at karpov is through the zaccharas . and if you get in the way of that , well , it 's going to force sonny into a confrontation . and then where are you gong to be , jason ? could you really pull a gun on sonny ?

[ scene_break ] scott : you understand -- move -- lulu , that you ca n't just run off with pee wee . you need help . lulu : who would n't need help after the way that you harassed me ? spinelli : yeah , the jackal agrees most heartily . maxie : you made this whole experience as painful and as difficult for lulu as you possibly could . from the very beginning , you jumped to the conclusion that johnny was guilty before my dad could even begin the investigation . and then you chased lulu and johnny down like dogs when he was only trying to help her . you made sure she ended up in a straightjacket and padded cell . spinelli : a most unhappy place to be . lulu : you lied and said that logan was a cop so you could try and get johnny a lethal injection . spinelli : an act for which you should be disbarred . maxie : but the worst thing you did was dragging lulu to the witness stand when you knew she was in no place to testify . scott : oh , obviously , that was a big mistake . maxie : you do n't really care whether or not lulu gets well . you just want to punish her because she did n't love your pig of a son . spinelli : maximista 's analysis is quite astute . scott : i told you to be quiet . maxie : logan hayes was a mean , sadistic jerk . scott : so he deserved to die ? lulu : no . maxie : even if he did n't , you have no right coming in here and terrorizing a mental patient when she 's just trying to visit with her friends . scott : well , you 're right about that . she is a mental patient . she -- there is mental illness in her family . she simply made the mistake of running off with the wrong guy , kind of what her mother did and you saw that turned out . listen , i know that you think that i am a jerk . lulu : jerk does not quite cover it . scott : but what i am doing here by not letting these fools take you out of here , i am actually helping you , lulu . [ scene_break ] mac : we found a large quantity of pharmaceutical drugs in this apartment . do you know anything about that ? lucky : no . sam : good , then you have no reason to be here . alexis : she has a point . sam : i mean , really , does any cop who feels like it get to barge in my apartment when they want to ? mac : we have a warrant . stick around , lucky . sam : i mean , you bailed on me months ago . you 've been practically stalking me all over town and you show up here at my apartment when i 'm getting arrested . you 're not even on the case . do i have any rights at all ? alexis : the right to remain silent , okay ? sam : why ? i did n't do anything . i have nothing to hide . mac : alexis , why did you arrive before we arrived to serve a warrant ? alexis : because i wanted sam to explain these pictures . sam : what pictures ? mac : what was going on when you got here ? alexis : sam was making out with jerry in the hot tub . [ sam scoffs ] [ scene_break ] ric : i know you have trouble thinking long term , jason , so let me put it in perspective for you . well , sonny gave you the organization . now he wants it back and you do n't want to give it to him , so that makes you an enemy , even more than karpov . but not because -- not because it 's going to spoil his happily - every - after with kate . because it has to do with power , you know ? prestige , money , respect . see , sonny wants that all back . that 's the only reason he got involved with the zaccharas , because he wants to come after you . and i do n't know when it 's going to happen . it 's going to be maybe tomorrow , maybe 10 years from now . but at some point , sonny is going to have to make a decision and threaten your life to get back what is rightfully his . and you 're going to have to make a choice . jason : this is what you 've wanted all along . this whole time you wanted sonny so turned around that he ca n't tell the difference between friends and the enemy . ric : hmm , you know what 's really ironic , though ? see , i spent all those years trying to bring sonny down , and now the person who is going to do all the dirty work is you . just like always . [ scene_break ] claudia : it would n't be the first time daddy tried to get rid of me , but , you know , no offense , your wives do n't fare too well . sonny : zacchara family politics are n't my problem . claudia : it 's too late for that . you already let daddy know you wanted something . i do n't have to tell you , i mean , you 've been a boss for a long time -- you were . plus , you must be considering it , or we would not be having this conversation . sonny : there are major weaknesses in your father 's organization . he 's an old man . trevor does n't want to get his hands dirty . your brother is a loose cannon . you know , he needs someone to run things . claudia : you need something to run . you 're sick and tired of sitting out there on the sidelines , right ? i mean , obviously you are motivated to go after karpov , but what 's really driving you here is that you want back in . you want to be a gangster again . and if you want to do that , then you 're going to have to talk yourself into marrying me . sonny : so you would actually consider marrying me ? claudia : every marriage i 've ever seen up close and personal has ended badly or tragically . i just do n't really see the point of it . besides , you seem to hate me most of the time . but we still could have great sex . sonny : so you would marry me ? claudia : not a chance . you 're going to have to find another way to prove your loyalty to my father . and good luck with that , by the way . [ scene_break ] scott : lulu , i want you to get well , believe me . my son loved you until the day that he died . and for his sake , i want you to take your medication . maxie : do n't listen to him . he 's totally trying to psych you out . spinelli : the jackal agrees . maxie : logan was a creep . scott : look , these two claim to be your friends , but really they are doing you an injustice here , all right ? they cooked up some half - baked scheme to break you out of here , and it 's not going to work . spinelli : okay , if the loathsome lawyer does not stop badgering fair lulu , i will contact the shadybrook staff . scott : and they will come in here and throw a butterfly net over you . maxie : you know , is your name even on the visitor 's list ? scott : i 've got a badge . i can do what i want . spinelli : then i will contact fair lulu 's brothers who will no doubt insist that you keep your distance . scott : oh , how is lucky these days ? is he still scoring goofballs down at the docks ? spinelli : just back off , you loathsome worm , or the jackal will land on you like the goth god of zune . scott : or we can get nikolas over here . i 'm sure he 'd like to see his sister having a nervous breakdown . lulu : that would be good . i would like to watch my brothers kick your ass .

[ scene_break ] lucky : if the only way to get evidence against jerry would be having sex with him , would you do it ? sam : no . lucky : i 'm not sure if i believe you . sam : i can see that you 're hurt , and that is never what i wanted . lucky : what do you want ? sam : what do you think i want ? i want to finish what we started .

[ mike scoffs ] [ scene_break ] johnny : sonny treats you like garbage . besides , look what happened to his last bride . i 'm not going to let you marry him . claudia : daddy only has one daughter to marry off to seal this deal . that gives me a lot of options . i could marry sonny and make daddy happy . or i could not marry sonny and leave them both stranded . or i could marry somebody else . johnny : and what would that accomplish ? claudia : it depends on who i marry . johnny : you are not going to marry anybody . claudia : you 're missing the point , little brother . for the first time in a long time , i have real power in this family , right ? i am in a position to make or break a major deal . and i do n't mind telling you , i 'm -- i 'm okay with that .

[ scene_break ] patrick : hi . robin : hi , sleepy . patrick : good morning . robin : i heard you come in last night , but you stayed downstairs , and you never came to bed . why ? patrick : yeah . my brain just would n't shut off . robin : oh . you were in the er late last night ? patrick : it was late last night . jason and sam brought in a pregnant woman who needed an emergency c - section . [ robin chuckles ] patrick : thank you . and she pulled through . the baby 's fine , too . but it just got me thinking how many things can go wrong with a pregnancy , and how lucky we were that emma was born -- robin : we are . patrick : safe and healthy . robin : yes . we 're very blessed . not everyone is as lucky as we are . patrick : there was something else , too . in talking to jason , he mentioned that they found the woman in a house east of town . they were there looking for evidence on ian devlin . supposedly , he was using the house as a storage facility . robin : really ? patrick : yeah . did n't find much , except for a bag of cash . robin : well , i know that jason did have questions about michael 's shooting . patrick : yeah . you know , ian was a friend of mine , but i obviously accepted too much of what he said at face value . i did n't ask the question that i should have asked . robin : there was no way for you to know what he was up to . he was a very good liar . patrick : yeah , well , i wish i would have figured that out earlier . my blindness is partially to blame for michael 's shooting . [ scene_break ] dominic : look , joey limbo could easily call in a favor or offer somebody a deal and have sonny taken out when he gets to that meeting . ronnie : well , sounds like a win in my book . i mean , if sonny is stupid enough to walk into an ambush , i say we let him do it . dominic : i thought the whole point was to build a case against sonny , take him down the right way . get him tried and convicted . you know , our job is to uphold the law , not to condone sonny 's murder . ronnie : our job is to take sonny out , period , any way we can . look . if joey limbo or one of those bosses from south america decide to take sonny out , well , that 's good news for us . tell me that you get that , dominic . [ scene_break ] sonny : i got a very lucrative business moving product for these south american suppliers . i do n't intend to lose that . so , it 's time to take control of the situation . claudia : these are the guys that lost property in the zacchara raid , right ? sonny : well , you know , they 're under the impression that i ca n't control my territory and the shipment 's not safe . claudia : so you 're here to reassure them ? sonny : no . i 'm here to , uh , show them the error of their ways and , you know , give them an opportunity to apologize . look at this- [ scene_break ] jax : carly , you 're getting sick of me hovering , are n't you ? carly : no . i know your heart 's in the right place . you 're just being a loving father , not to mention a wonderful , supportive husband . and besides , someone needs to protect our little girl from my occasionally unreliable impulses . jax : you ? mmm . carly : i know i can be , let 's say , impulsive at times . and i do n't always make the best decisions . and if i do n't , you know , take your advice , it 's not because i love you less . it 's because i love you more . jax : of course . carly : i mean not many people would put up with my idiosyncrasies . jax : you 're not that bad . carly : come on . you know there are times when you 're ready to jump on your jet and fly off to monte carlo and leave all this behind . jax : you make my life sound very glamorous . carly : you are glamorous . jax : really ? carly : you 're damn sexy . and do n't you think for one minute that i do n't appreciate you giving up all your corporate raiding and your international adventures just to stay home with me and monitor my green vegetable intake . jax : i have absolutely no problem with the fact that my priorities have shifted . in fact , dr. drake and i were talking about this very thing last night at the hospital . carly : oh , really ? wow . jax : yes , we were . carly : you guys must have a lot in common . the reformed playboys ? himm . look , you traded it all in for commitment , baby formula , and diaper duty ? jax : yep . carly : you got the better wife , though . jax : absolutely . no argument there . my decision to be with you and have a family has made me happier than i 've ever been in my life . i love you . carly : i love you .

[ scene_break ] jason : need you to hack into the gh mainframe . pull up devlin 's files , his patients ' files , any research he was doing , anything he might have left behind . sam : okay . wait a minute . hold on . so you 're thinking that ian could have left recordings of his illegal activities embedded in patient files ? jason : well , what i 'm saying is , the hospital files are totally secure . so maybe he did transfer the recordings to a disc , put it in a patient 's files . the cases that are closed , no one 's ever going to know . sam : hmm . spinelli : i secured a complete list of patients treated by dr. devlin , and stone cold is right . several of the files indicate records , data , and scan that may be backed up to dvd . jason : okay . we need to get to those dvds . [ scene_break ] dominic : you know , maybe i 'm being old fashioned here , but i think maybe we should bring charges against sonny , make a case . you know , follow the law . that 's why i became a cop in the first place . ronnie : you know , that 's really all stand - up of you , dom , but if i 'm being honest , i do n't buy it this time . dominic : do n't buy what ? ronnie : look . you know if it was up to me , you 'd already be off this case . i think i 've made that pretty clear . dominic : oh , yeah . ronnie : you 're way too involved in sonny 's life . and i 'm not just talking about his business -- his family . you 're friends with his kids . hell , last week , his wife tried to bang you . i mean , to say that the lines are n't blurring for you would be a massive understatement . dominic : well , you know what ? it 's a good thing i know what i 'm doing , then . ronnie : oh , do you ? dominic : yeah . ronnie : because it seems to me that you 're treating sonny more and more like a boss , you know ? someone to be loyal to . dominic : come on . that is crap . we both know where my loyalties lie . i 'm a cop , ronnie . ronnie : yeah . dominic : i 'm loyal to my badge . look , if and when sonny comes back , i 'll continue this assignment . i 'll compile evidence . i 'll make a case . i 'll do my job . once we find out how sonny moves his money out of the country , we have all we need to take him down the legal way . ronnie : yeah . but that just seems a little overly optimistic . you are trying to find a non - violent way to bust sonny , and the truth is , that just may not be possible . you need to accept that . look . i got to go . i 'll check you later . dominic : look . wait . hold on one sec . look at this tag here . have you ever seen that before , man ? something looks familiar about that . ronnie : no . i ca n't say i have . sorry . i 'll call you later . dominic : yeah . [ scene_break ] claudia : you know what my crazy old bastard of a father used to always say ? the best defense is a good offense . sonny : he 's right about that . but tonight is all about you . want to make a show of strength . we 're going to have to move into the room , anticipate any opposition , and then intimidate the hell out of whoever it is . claudia : sounds like fun to me . sonny : we are going to run the show . no , you know , explanations . we 're going to make sure everybody knows that it was their screw - up , and i 'm just there to bail them out . claudia : oh . i honestly ca n't wait to walk in there as your wife . and you can count on me . you know that , right ? sonny : i appreciate that . claudia : yeah . sonny : but you know , they 're going to have to clean up their own mess , 'cause it was their own weakness that allowed anthony to jump on them in the first place . and that 's where you walk in . as anthony 's daughter , as my wife , you need to let them know that i am in complete control of the situation . claudia : done . sonny : if anybody comes up and says , `` anthony this , anthony that , `` all you got to do is say he 's old , he 's crazy , and his double cross failed . and we have handled the last of the renegade zaccharas . claudia : yeah . yeah . okay . the one concern that i have , though , is , is n't seeing you down here in person going to make some of these guys kind of nervous ? sonny : well , nervous people make stupid mistakes , and the thing is , that 's usually good . unless their stupid mistake is trying to take us out . [ scene_break ] [ jax sighs ] [ knock on door ] alexis : hi . jax : hey . alexis : you have a minute ? jax : yeah , absolutely . for you , anytime . come on in . what 's going on ? alexis : i wanted to talk to you some more about michael . jax : what 's going on with michael ? [ alexis sighs ] alexis : i want to just explain more about why i made the decision that i made , and how guilty and awful i feel about it , and how sorry i am that i upset carly and , worse , michael , because he does n't deserve it . it 's not his fault , none of it . and then , you 're in the middle . jax : yeah , in more ways than one . alexis : jerry . [ sighs ] jax : i 've decided to tell carly the truth once the baby 's born . i know that the whole situation is going to blow up in everyone 's face , especially mine . alexis : but you did n't do anything wrong . jax : i do n't think carly will see it that way . i can hope , but i kept my brother 's secret . i allowed him to continue after the metro court incident , and that led to michael being shot . alexis : jax , you were trying to protect carly , who is having a high - risk pregnancy . you do n't think that 's going to carry any weight ? jax : michael almost died because of my brother 's actions , so -- i do n't know how carly 's going to react , but i 'm prepared for the worst . [ scene_break ] carly : yeah . they 're for the lobby . well , just call kako over at the florist and make sure they 're be delivered by tomorrow . thanks , olivia . oh , do me a favor -- do n't tell jax that i called . okay . bye . hey . uh , wait . did your dad mention to you that he was going out of town ? [ scene_break ] michael : no . why ? carly : no reason . i guess it was last minute . no big deal . michael : maybe he took off 'cause he 's trying to give me some space . carly : why would you say that ? michael : 'cause i freaked out on him again , for no reason . you know , he was trying to help me figure out . i was being totally cool . and then , i just got all pissed off again and lost it . i do n't understand why my brain just goes there , you know ? i hate it . carly : it 's okay . it 's going to take time . and your dad knows that , michael . michael : i just wish the whole memory thing would just stop , you know , and go away . i ca n't stand not being able to control it or control how angry i 'm going to get when it happens , you know ? i -- like some freak , you know ? i 'm just afraid that something bad 's going to happen . carly : do n't say that . you 're fine . and besides , what bad thing is going to happen from your memories ? ramona , voiceover : some villains are vague . some are clear . some are standing by the bed . some are in the mirror . [ scene_break ] spinelli : unfortunately , it appears dr. devlin 's files are restricted . i 'm afraid a break - in could cause some heinous difficulties . jason : keep at it . there 's got to be a way . sam : wait a minute . wait a minute . maybe we do n't have to break in . is there any way you can have the files transferred to somewhere else in the hospital , somewhere jason and i would have access to , somewhere -- anywhere -- in the building ? as long as it stayed in the building , it should be okay , right ? jason : yeah . you 're right . why do n't you have them transferred to one of those conference rooms ? spinelli : okay . we may be being a bit overly optimistic . jason : is n't it worth a try ? i mean , if devlin left something behind to prove claudia 's guilty , do n't we need to find it ? [ scene_break ] robin : you ca n't blame yourself for what ian did . it was n't your fault . patrick : i 'm not blaming myself , but i still feel like i should try and help figure out what happened , or figure out if there was an accomplice or not . it just pisses me off that ian was lying to me the whole time , face to face . robin : you were just trusting your friend . patrick : yeah . well , that friend certainly had a lot of cash stashed away . figure it 's for a getaway if he had to leave town or something . you know what ? i 'm going to look at all the files that ian and i worked on . maybe there 's something i missed in one . robin : that 's weird . patrick : why are all ian 's files being moved to the conference room ? [ scene_break ] sonny : so here 's the deal . it 's a dangerous situation . if you do n't want to take the risk , i would n't hold it against you . claudia : you 're going , are n't you ? sonny : well , i did n't get where i am being cautious . tonight , i have to take care of the situation . claudia : well , i 'm going with you . and i got your back . you know how i see it ? you got to risk big to win big , and you always seem to come out on top . sonny : i appreciate your faith . claudia : okay . sonny : all right . claudia : listen , i 'm excited to show you just exactly what kind of asset i can be to you . sonny : really ? claudia : yes , i am . sonny : all right . claudia : mm - hmm . [ sonny sighs ] sonny : you look amazing . red 's my favorite color . claudia : likewise . [ sonny laughs ] claudia : and you look great , too . sonny : you know what ? this might not be that hard , 'cause guys are going to be looking at you , and i 'll be able to do what i need to do , you know what i mean ? claudia : it 's too bad i ca n't incorporate a bullet - proof vest . sonny : if you do n't want to do this , just let me know . claudia : no , i want to do it . you know what ? they 're disrespecting you , so they 're disrespecting me . and i ca n't wait to help you put them in their place . sonny : you and me together ? they 're not going to know what hit them . claudia : you know i love the whole power couple thing , anyway . sonny : all right . let 's do it . claudia : all right . let 's do it ! i 'm so proud to be your wife . [ scene_break ] [ sam sighs ] robin : oh . i had a feeling we might be seeing you guys here . jason : yeah . what 's going on ? patrick : all of ian devlin 's files were brought to the conference room . i 'm thinking spinelli 's handiwork ?

[ sighs ] what did he say ? sabrina : oh , well , he denied it , of course . i mean , what else could he do ? patrick : do you believe him ? sabrina : i do n't know . i do n't know . he 's just been working so hard to make me doubt you and trying to rekindle our relationship . wait . that 's not why you proposed to me -- not because of carlos , right ? patrick : no . me proposing to you had -- had -- had nothing to do with him . it had to do with robin . robin : wait . i do n't understand . why did n't patrick come himself ? nikolas : patrick did n't send me . robin : so , wait -- he did n't tell you that i called ? nikolas : no . i do n't -- i do n't know anything about a call . and , robin , i - i had no idea that you were even alive . robin : then if you do n't know that i 'm alive , why are you even here ? nikolas : i 'm -- i 'm trying to help my friend britt find her -- her little boy . robin : oh , no . nikolas : her mother ... robin : [ sighs ] nikolas : ... kidnapped him and brought -- what ? what do you know ? robin : obrecht -- um , she brought him here -- the baby -- and -- and i took care of him . nikolas : what ? are you ser -- is he okay ? robin : i took care of him . i - i took care of him for patrick . nikolas : for -- what do you mean ? robin : well , the baby -- i mean , he 's -- [ scoffs ] he 's patrick 's son . nikolas : [ sighing ] oh , god . patrick is not the father of britt 's baby . britt : that 's right , father . not one drop of your blood is in my son . faison : of course it is . he 's my grandson . britt : not the way you want him to be . faison : did your mother lie to me about you ? are you some other man 's bastard ? britt : no . she did n't lie to you about that ... unfortunately . i have your dna , but ben does n't . lulu : they ca n't take her . she 's ours . she 's our baby . we have to do something . alexis : [ sighs ] well , lulu , you could sue maxie . lulu : sue her ? for what ? alexis : punitive damages . you put a dollar amount on the emotional suffering that maxie caused you and the money that you spent for her medical care after she miscarried . you demand repayment with a lawsuit . lulu : there 's no amount of money that 's gon na change what 's happened , no amount of money that 's gon na lessen the pain that we 're feeling . dante and i -- we just want our daughter . we want connie . we ca n't lose her . please , alexis , help us . maxie : it 's pretty clear that dante and lulu are not gon na give up this baby without a fight . spinelli : and it 's not as though we can just barge in and take her . maxie : no , we ca n't . can we ? diane : i would n't advise it . spinelli : so , what would you advise ? diane : you know , it 's not normally my practice to be judgmental about my clients , but i consider you a friend , mr. jackal . spinelli : likewise . diane : i know you to be caring , considerate , sensitive , loyal to a fault , and i think that you are in for a world of hurt . spinelli : could -- could you be more specific ? what form will that hurt take ? diane : well , this is technically a legal matter , but there has never been a law written or a court convened that can adequately describe what it means to love a child . i have seen people wreck themselves over parental rights . i 've seen scorched earth between formerly rational individuals . case in point -- carly and jax nearly dismantled each other over josslyn . and this from two people who said they wanted an amicable divorce . maxie : no , that -- that was a totally different situation . spinelli and i are the parents , but we 're on the same side . we 're not fighting . diane : yes . about that . it is my understanding that you never told spinelli that he was the father of your child . maxie : that 's right . i did n't . diane : in point of fact , you would have let him go the rest of his life without acknowledging that he had a daughter . maxie : yes , i thought i could do that , but ... [ sighs ] diane : all right , well , this is me taking off my lawyer hat in order to be able to say to you that i find your actions appallingly selfish . you have used and abused this young man , and you should be grateful that he 's even forgiving you , let alone standing by you . spinelli : while i certainly appreciate your spirited defense , and -- and i 'm grateful for the friendship that prompted it , i think we 're getting a little off track . maxie : no , spinelli , it 's okay . diane has every right to feel the way that she does , and ... i agree with her . yes , i was selfish and stupid and delusional to think that i could just give up our daughter , pass her off as dante and lulu 's , but however it happened -- however the truth came out -- i 'm grateful that it did before any more damage could be caused . diane : oh , there 's been enough damage to go around . maxie : [ sighs ] so , i understand , okay ? you 're -- you 're saying you 're doing this for spinelli 's benefit . diane : no . however much i do n't like what you did -- and i do n't like what you did -- that does not impinge upon your right to a vigorous legal defense . the law , in this case , is on your side . spinelli : great . so , how do we make it work for us ? diane : well , you have a couple of options . you could to the police . spinelli : the -- the police ? diane : dante and lulu are holding your child against your wishes . you could accuse them of kidnapping . spinelli : that seems unsavory . maxie : i do n't think we want to do that . what are our other options ? diane : i could file a court order , demanding that dante and lulu surrender the baby to you . lulu : would it be possible for us to sue maxie for custody of connie ? i -- we 've been connie 's parents since she was born . it ca n't be good for her to rip her out of the only home she 's ever known . i -- i 'm sure that if we could just tell a judge the situation that he or she would see it our way . alexis : i am so sorry , lulu . i know how much you think of connie as your daughter , and i know how devastating it is to think about losing her , but i highly doubt that a judge is going to allow you to keep her . faison : you talk a lot of nonsense . look at me . if you truly are my daughter and carry my dna , how can you say little cesar is n't my family ? britt : because i 'm your biological daughter , but ben is n't my biological son . anna : no more lies . tell us where we can find robin . dr. obrecht : i 've already told you -- she 's dead . robert : do n't even go there . i 've seen her with you , alive . dr. obrecht : you dreamt of her while you were in a coma . robert : you were trying to kill her . dr. obrecht : i stand corrected . it was a nightmare . robert : i came into the room . she was strapped to a bed . i took the needle meant for her . dr. obrecht : if you 're so certain my intent was to kill your daughter , would n't i have completed the task once you were out of commission ? anna : but you did n't . faison told me that she 's alive . dr. obrecht : you fool . he 'd say anything to please you . anna : he told me he 'd take me to her . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] cesar did n't want to take you to your daughter . he wanted to take you to his bed . [ voice breaking ] and when he failed to entice you , he tried to use me as your replacement . anna : i 'm sorry . what ? dr. obrecht : are you happy ? he wants only you . never mind that i am the one who 's loyal . i freed him from prison . i brought him a boy child . he wants me to wear your face in his bed ! i should have never made that mask in your image . [ scoffs ] it 's only given him more reason to inflict pain on me . anna : it 's obvious faison has hurt you . you could hurt him back by helping us . tell us where we can find robin . anna : faison does n't deserve you . you 've been loyal to him for years , and how does he repay that ? dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] anna : by humiliation . you 've risked your life , your freedom . and for what ? has he returned your affection ? i do n't think so . he just wants you to be me . you deserve more . dr. obrecht : and why is this of interest to you ? anna : i just think it 's time for faison to get what he deserves . do n't you ? i mean , you are gon na have to be punished for what you did to robert ... and to robin . but if you cooperate with us , i will see to it that the court goes easy on you , and i will put faison away for good . yeah ? your daughter , britt -- she said that you do n't care about her , but i know that 's not true . she may not agree with your methods , but you only want what 's best for her , 'cause you 're a mother . your child is your number - one priority . so , you can understand what i 'm going through -- believing that robin is alive and not being able to find her . and what about your own child ? your own daughter ? she 's suffering without her baby . you can put an end to all of this . you can have your revenge on faison ... if you just tell us where robin is . and maybe we can find britt 's baby , too . dr. obrecht : i will tell you what you want to know . robin : patrick is not the father of that little boy ? nikolas : no . robin : but obrecht told me that he was . nikolas : probably so you 'd be willing to take care of him . robin : no . i - i - i saw the dvd of the nurses ' ball , and britt walked onstage and announced to everybody that she was carrying patrick 's baby . nikolas : she was lying . she was in love with patrick , but he was n't in love with her . sabrina : patrick , you suffered an unimaginable loss . if you still need time to deal with that , it 's okay . you can . you do n't have to propose to me to try to prove something to me or to yourself . patrick : come on . is that what you think i 'm doing ? sabrina : look , i 'm just saying , if you -- if you want to take the proposal back , you can . we 'll just -- we 'll pretend it never happened . robin : i was so worried that patrick was losing his mind , wondering where his baby was . nikolas : where 's the baby now ? robin : obrecht came back a few hours ago and took him with faison . nikolas : do you know where they took him ? robin : no , i do n't know . nikolas : [ sighs ] did they say anything that might help me find them ? robin : all obrecht said was that faison had to spend time with his grandson . britt : ben is n't my flesh and blood , which means he ca n't be yours . faison : what 's the meaning of this , britta ? who is this child ? ! who is it ? some foundling your mother brought ... britt : no . faison : ... in order to win over my affection , or what ? britt : no , he 's my son . faison : well , did you adopt him ? britt : no . faison : no ! 'cause i remember your mother told me you gave birth ! britt : she was right . i gave birth . but she did n't tell you everything , okay ? i carried this child . i gave birth to him , but he 's not my biological son . he does n't have your blood . thank god . faison : [ sighs ] i do n't understand this . britt : mother says you 're some brilliant scientist . figure it out for yourself . lulu : alexis , i know that we are dealing with a crazy situation here , which means that most judges wo n't have dealt with a case like this . so how can you be so certain that they wo n't rule in our favor ? alexis : well , i can give you an educated guess on how i think the judge will rule . connie is maxie and spinelli 's biological child , and in family court , they almost always rule in favor of the biological parents . lulu : [ sighs ] alexis : lulu , if you seek custody , it will be an uphill battle , and i would be lying to you if i thought you stood a - a chance . lulu : [ voice breaking ] so there 's no way for us to keep custody of connie ? you 're 100 % positive ? alexis : as draconian as it is , family law , particularly when pertaining to children , is based on , if you can believe this , property law . so , connie , because she was created from spinelli and maxie 's dna -- it gives them rights . their rights are pre - eminent . lulu : well , what about connie 's right ? what about connie 's right to a happy home , to the parents that she knows and she loves ? alexis : lulu , listen to me . if you pursue this , you will not only be wasting a lot of money , you will take a situation that is so horrible , and you will make it much worse . [ connie cooing ] lulu : what -- what are we supposed to do ? i m -- wh -- are we supposed to take her and run , go underground somewhere , live like fugitives for the rest of our life ? is this what i have to do to keep my daughter ? alexis : no , please , do n't do that . [ sighs ] uh , all right , look . maybe -- maybe there is another way . spinelli : so , how would this court order work ? diane : i go in front of a judge and argue your case . if the judge agrees with me , he signs a document which forces dante and lulu to surrender all rights to the baby . maxie : that sounds great , but what if the judge does n't agree ? diane : well , this is new york , and in new york , as in most states , the courts bend over backwards to see to it that the biological parents have the right to raise the child . maxie : how soon can you get this court order ? diane : how soon can i get in front of a judge ? spinelli : and once you procure it , dante and lulu would just give us our baby ? diane : in a perfect world , yes . but we all know that this is not a perfect world . lulu : you know of another way that we can keep connie ? tell me . i will do it . alexis : it depends on how far you want to go , lulu , and , uh , i do n't even know if it 's remotely possible . lulu : i want to keep my baby , alexis . i will do whatever it takes to make that happen . alexis : even if it destroys someone ? lulu : destroy someone ? who ? alexis : maxie . you 'd have to prove that she 's an unfit parent . lulu : prove that maxie is an unfit mother ? how would that even work ? alexis : the law in family court is to act in the best interest of the child . it 's the duty of the court to try to ensure that the child in question is in a safe , loving , and stable home . that 's the precedent . lulu : well , how would this work for us ? alexis : you would have to prove that maxie would somehow neglect or endanger her child . that would be the only way i think you 'd get a shot at custody . lulu : maxie is unfit . but there 's no question . alexis : i do n't want to mislead you . this will be very difficult to prove . lulu ? i know that maxie has lied to you , and i know how much she has hurt you , and that is not okay , but that is a long , long way from being able to prove that she is an unfit mother . lulu : do you think that she would be good for connie ? alexis : it does n't matter what i think . it matters what you think . it matters what you want and what i 'm able to prove , and i am telling you right now that it will be very difficult to prove that she 's an unfit mother . lulu : yeah , but not for me . look at everything that maxie 's done . alexis : maxie is your best friend . spinelli : are we to infer that alexis may find a way for dante and lulu to win custody of our child ? diane : well , i 'm sure she 'll try . maxie : wait . you just said the courts favor biological parents . diane : they do , but alexis is a formidable attorney . she 'll do her research . she will craft an argument , very compelling , based on precedent , i 'm sure , because somewhere , someone has to have found sufficient cause for the adoptive parents to retain custody of the child , even when the biological parents want that child back . maxie : but -- but that does n't apply to our situation or spinelli and me . diane : i 'm just trying to explain to you that this is going to be a fight . maxie : well , we 're already fighting . i just want to know we can win . diane : dante and lulu will lose , but i 'm going to warn you that , before all is said and done , things could get ugly . lulu : maxie was my best friend . but not after this . not after everything she 's done . i can tell you anything you need to know to prove that she 's unfit . alexis : lulu , i want you to go home , and i want you to take some time and think about it . lulu : what for ? i know exactly what i 'm doing , alexis . i know every lie that maxie has ever told . i know every scam that she 's -- she 's ever tried to cover up . i know every single harmful , hurtful , possibly illegal , and definitely immoral thing that maxie 's done . once i tell what i know , no court would even allow maxie to raise a parakeet , and they certainly will not award her custody of my precious baby . alexis : i understand that your first impulse is to fight . i have empathy for you as a mother , but can you do this to maxie ? can you ? britt : so , father , you must see now that you do n't want my baby . faison : well , i see you lying , trying to trick me into giving you this baby ! britt : i 'm not lying ! if you do n't believe me , go ask my mother ! faison : that cow ? i 'm not gon na ask her nothing . [ sighs ] britt : please , just let me have him . ple -- faison : i always tire of you quickly . go . please , go . just go . britt : i 'm not going anywhere without my -- faison : just go ! britt : i 'm not going anywhere without my son . anna : you 're gon na tell us where robin is ? or britt 's baby ? or both ? dr. obrecht : you 'll see . robert : where do we find them ? dr. obrecht : there 's a laboratory downstairs . what you 're looking for is there . anna : robin 's in the lab ... with the baby ? dr. obrecht : i 've said enough . you 'll see for yourself . robert : if you 're lying , we 'll be back . but , in the meantime ... dr. obrecht : [ groans ] robin : obrecht was really vague . i - i mean , i ca n't be sure where they took the baby . nikolas : well , they might still be here . and britt 's upstairs . i have go to her . wait -- wait here . i 'll come back for you . robin : what ? no . i have to come with you . nikolas : i 'll come back , robin . i swear . robin : nikolas , no . you do n't understand . i have been locked up in here for a really long time . i ca n't be here . i have to come with you ! nikolas : obrecht and faison might still be on the grounds , so who knows what they 're planning ? and you -- you know how crazy jerry is . and , honestly , i do n't know -- i do n't know how -- how loyal the staff here is -- is to me at this point , okay ? i - i swear , i 'll come back . you 're safer here . robin : no , nikolas . you 're not leaving me behind . patrick : i do n't want to take back the proposal . i know what i want , and it 's you . sabrina , last year , i was -- i was caught in a - a fog of grief , and , quietly , you came into my life with your -- your big hair and your big glasses , and you made me and emma smile when i did n't know if we were ever gon na be able to smile again . before you , i was simply putting one foot in front of the other , just trying to get through my day , and then , before i knew it , everything was better . i was better , and i realized that -- that i could i have a life again ... without robin . sabrina : [ sighs ] patrick : i know this is all sudden , and this proposal surprised me just as much as it surprised you . but i love you , and i know i do n't have a ring , but i have this -- i want you to be my wife . i want to have a family with you and with emma . and i want you to be beside me for the rest of my life . sabrina : [ crying ] patrick : sabrina santiago , will you marry me ? maxie : i was hoping getting custody of our biological child would be simpler than this . spinelli : with less potential for ugliness . diane : i 'm trying to explain to you that it is never simple or pretty when it comes to parental rights . maxie : whatever we have to do , i 'm ready . i want to bring our baby home . i 've loved her since the moment i knew that she belonged to spinelli and me . spinelli : so have i . maxie : get that court order , diane . we 'll do whatever it takes to bring our baby home . lulu : i have to protect my baby . alexis : lulu , i want you to go home and talk to dante , and i want you to cool down and take some time and think about it . lulu : i 've taken all the time that i need . i do n't want to lose connie . i ca n't lose her . file the paperwork . i will go after maxie . i 'll do whatever it takes to keep my baby with me . [ ben fusses ] faison : do n't make this difficult , britta . i 'm leaving , and i 'm taking cesar . britt : you 're gon na have to kill me first . anna : psst ! robert : oh , damn it . anna : she 's not here . robin : dingdong , the witch is [ sighs ] down for the count . nikolas : here . here . here . if she tries anything , shoot her . robin : oh , do n't worry . i will . go find britt and the baby . nikolas : okay . robin : [ breathing heavily ] britt : get away from my son , you freak ! [ whimpers ] faison : the boy stays with me . britt : [ panting ] never . never ! nikolas : take your hands off her ! i swear to god , i 'll kill you right here . britt : [ panting ] robert : obrecht lied to us . anna : [ sighs ] maybe not . robert , look ! oh , my god . our daughter was here . robin was here . robin : i 'm free . i 'm finally free . and guess what . i won , obrecht . after all those times that i got so close , it 's happening . i 'm finally going home to patrick and emma . finally , i 'm going home to my family . sabrina : [ voice breaking ] you 're really sure about this ? patrick : as sure as i 've ever been . sabrina : [ crying ] [ sniffles ] patrick : will you marry me ? sabrina : [ chuckles ] yes . [ chuckling ] yes , patrick , i 'll marry you .
things appear to be `` unfolding `` with robin returning , the finding of britt 's baby , and the custody battle for baby connie . lulu asks alexis to represent her , although alexis warns her she has no legal rights to a baby who 's not hers and dante 's biological child , unless of course , she 's willing to attempt to prove maxie an unfit mother in court . angry and determined to keep baby connie , lulu is willing to destroy her former best friend . diane is ready to represent maxie and spinelli , confident that she can win their case for them but admits she believes she finds it reprehensible that maxie has lied about connie to many people . maxie & spinelli urge diane to get a court order , so they can get their baby back .

[ scene_break ] carly : you had a meeting about me ? franco : yeah . i ran in to michael at the hospital . we had a nice , long chat . carly : you talked to michael about me ? franco : yeah , about you -- and about sonny and about aj . [ scene_break ] kiki : you think my mother killed aj ? michael : it 's a possibility . kiki : carlos rivera confessed . where is this coming from ? michael : sabrina santiago . she and carlos knew each other from puerto rico . they were even engaged at a point . she went to see him at pentonville the other day , and he convinced her that he did n't kill aj . supposedly , your mother forced him to make a false confession . kiki : why -- because she supposedly killed aj ? michael : ava never actually admitted that to carlos . kiki : so , it 's all just speculation , michael . michael : carlos worked for the jeromes . your mom could have used him to cover her own ass . kiki : you ca n't even be sure that carlos is telling the truth . michael : if carlos is telling the truth and if ava forced him to make the false confession , who else would she be protecting ? [ scene_break ] ava : do we have to get into this now ? silas : well , i ca n't imagine the next time i 'll have your undivided attention . ava : you know why i kept kiki from you . i thought you put nina in that coma . everybody did . and when i found out that you lied about our affair to the police , i just thought a love child would damn you even further . silas : [ sighs ] ava : i thought i was protecting you . silas : okay . yes , there were plenty of misunderstandings to go around . ava : yeah , there were . silas : hey , you know , credit where credit is due . you did a great job raising her . kiki is a very special girl . that -- that could n't have been easy , doing that on your own . i do n't think anyone would have faulted you for giving her up . ava : silas ... for a smart man , you really are such an idiot . you know that ? i loved you so much back then . i would have done anything to hold on to any piece of you i had . [ scene_break ] nina : rosalie knows where ava is hiding . madeline : rosalie , your nurse ? well , that 's a stroke of luck , is n't it ? nina : well , it would be if rosalie told me where ava is . madeline : it 's so hard to find good help these days . nina : right ? right ? and she 's not even help anymore . we had a falling out . madeline : what did you do ? nina : why would you assume that i did something ? why would you assume that it 's my fault ? she was working for me , and i asked her to do a little favor for -- well , actually , i paid her to do a favor for me , and she turned it into a cause célèbre . madeline : what was this little favor you asked her to do ? nina : i asked her to sleep with kiki 's boyfriend so i could destroy kiki . madeline : oh , honey . nina : i do n't need your judgment . i just need you to fix this for me . madeline : i certainly would like to , but now you 've made it very difficult . nina : well , what am i supposed to do ? rosalie wo n't return my calls . madeline : maybe she 'll return mine . [ scene_break ] rosalie : [ chuckles ] do n't tell me . you have an ex named rosalie ? how bad of a number did she do on you ? nathan : no , no , no . it 's nothing like that . you are n't a nurse , by any chance , are you ? rosalie : how did you know ? nathan : i think you work for my sister , nina clay . rosalie : nina ? no , her brother 's name is ... nathan : james . nathan 's my middle name . rosalie : oh , my -- you 're j ! oh , i ca n't believe we 've never met . she talks about you all the time . nathan : yeah . nina 's -- nina 's been really great to me , which is why i 'm ... rosalie : what ? nathan : i do n't mean to be rude , but i need your help . i have n't been able to track nina down , and i 'm worried about her . do you know where she is ? madeline : if this goes to voicemail -- [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] rosalie : excuse me . huh . i do n't recognize the number . it 's probably a telemarketer . nathan : it could be nina , though . would you -- would you mind picking it up ? rosalie : uh , no problem . rosalie martinez . madeline : rosalie , hello . this is madeline reeves , nina 's mother . i think it 's time we had a little chat . [ scene_break ] tj : [ sighs ] you 're not supposed to be back here . jordan : when i told you that things got a little complicated and then you implied that i was referring to shawn , why ? tj : look , i was waiting to hear it from you , but you have n't been around , so i 'm just gon na come right out and say it . i know you and shawn are sleeping together . jordan : say what ? tj : yeah . so , what 's the deal ? are you two together now ? jordan : [ sighs ] i told him not to tell you . tj : why -- because i would n't approve ? jordan : no , baby . no . because i did n't want you shutting him out like you did me . i love you , thomas , okay ? and i know that things have been really hard for you these last few years , and i 'm trying to be there for you , but you keep pushing me away . tj : yeah . i 've had my reasons , okay ? jordan : that 's fair enough , and maybe i deserve that , all right ? look , i just took comfort in knowing that you can at least open up to shawn , you know ? and i was worried that if you shut him out that you would n't have anybody else left . tj : i 'm gon na tell you like i told shawn . i 'm not gon na ice him out because you two are together . jordan : hey , if it 's any consolation , we 're not together anymore . tj : ca n't say that i 'm not surprised . jordan : what do you mean ? tj : well , shawn 's a stand - up guy . i 'm sure he thought twice about being involved with anyone who pushes heroin to kids . jordan : you have no idea what you 're talking about . [ scene_break ] shawn : so , franco visited his mother before i got there . sonny : what 's he doing there ? i thought he hated his mother . shawn : yeah , but it 's possible that franco and heather are n't nearly as on the outs as we thought they were . now , if she does n't hate him , she has no motive to kill him , which makes it hard for us to pin her for the murder . so , what do you want to do ? want to call the whole thing off or what ? sonny : [ sighs heavily ] [ scene_break ] carly : what did you do ? franco : oh , no , carly . i 'm sorry . you -- you thought that i told michael about sonny killing aj ? carly : you did n't ? franco : carly , i swear to you that michael will not get that information from me . carly : what did you and michael talk about ? franco : well , neither one of his fathers is / was a big fan of mine . carly : okay . what 's the point of revisiting painful history ? carly : well , i felt like we should hash some stuff out , and , okay , we 're never gon na have a coke -- well , not anytime soon -- but i did ask him to be my best man . carly : you did ? oh . oh . well ... i hope you were n't too disappointed . franco : oh , no . not at all . he said yes . carly : he did ? franco : yeah . he 's gon na stand up for me . carly : really ? franco : mm - hmm . carly : how the hell did you pull that off ? franco : well , i just told him how happy it would make you . carly : michael -- i mean ... franco : i know , right ? carly : ... he just looks out for me , and -- franco : yeah . he 's your son . he loves you . he supports you . so , we have agreed to table our issues for your special day . [ scene_break ] michael : i realize this is difficult for you to hear , but i did n't want to hide it from you . she 's your mother . you have every right to know . kiki : michael , you said it yourself -- assuming that carlos is telling the truth . what if he just did that to save face with sabrina ? michael : no , it 's too late for that . he already confessed to killing aj . he 's doing 20 years to life in pentonville . kiki : why would he tell sabrina ? why would n't he call the cops or , better yet , call his lawyer to appeal , to have his confession thrown out ? you know why ? because he does n't have any proof that my mother did it . michael : i know you and your mother just repaired your relationship , and i hope for your sake that this is n't true . kiki : it 's not true , michael . michael : i need to be sure that carlos ' original confession was real , okay ? that 's why i need to talk to your mother . do you have any idea where she is right now ? [ scene_break ] silas : well , ava , our affair caused a lot of heartache for a lot of people . one good thing came out of it -- kiki . ava : look at you -- proud father . looks good on you . silas : you 're in better shape . i 'll give you another dose in a couple hours . ava : ca n't morgan do that ? silas : it 's a syringe , ava , not a xbox controller . ava : [ laughs ] well , wo n't your wife wonder where you are ? silas : i doubt it . ava : really ? well , kiki told me that you and nina were giving your marriage another go . silas : things change . nina 's changed . she 's not the same person i married all those years ago . [ scene_break ] madeline : i do n't really want to talk on the phone . could we meet somewhere ? rosalie : uh , yeah . right now 's not really a good time . nathan : is it her ? nina , nina , is that you ? madeline : james ? nathan : mother ? what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] kiki : where 's my mother right now ? um ... i could n't tell you . michael : she 's probably at home . she does n't leave the house much these days , from what i remember , so why do n't we swing by her penthouse so i can talk to her ? kiki : no , she 's not -- she 's not there . michael : i thought you just said you do n't know where she is . kiki : i do n't . i just , um ... i spoke to julian , and she 's missing . no one knows where she is . sorry . michael : if ava forced carlos to cover for her , she 's probably having him watched . she 'd know that sabrina went to visit him . she probably thinks he said something . kiki : michael , no . that 's just speculation . michael : look , it 's possible that your mom took off before the cops could reopen the investigation . kiki : i do n't think so . michael : i know -- i know you want to protect your mother , okay ? but if she killed aj , this changes everything . i need to call this in to the police .

[ scene_break ] madeline : james ? nina : j ? is it j ? madeline : i - i - i was hoping that rosalie might know where your sister is . i guess great minds think alike , huh ? nathan : unfortunately , no . rosalie did n't have any information . she and nina had a falling out . madeline : well , that 's a shame . did she give you any information ? nathan : no . i 'm gon na stay on it , though . nina could n't have just vanished . she has to be somewhere . madeline : i do n't doubt it . nathan : all right , look -- do n't wait up , all right ? i 'll be home later . madeline : all right . james , please be careful . nina : good job , mother . madeline : [ chuckles ] might have been nice if you 'd have told me that rosalie and james are new best friends . nina : i did n't even know they knew each other . madeline : nina , he 's a police officer . he 's investigating . of course , he would investigate staff , but what i do n't really understand here is if you and she are on such bad terms , why did n't she give you up ? nina : she 's not gon na do that . i assured her if she said anything that i would reveal to the world her dirty secret . madeline : do n't be withholding . what do you have on her ? [ scene_break ] tj : what part about the story did i get wrong ? jordan : i just mean that i did n't realize that heroin was part of the sale . tj : oh . so , you thought you were just pounding coke . real classy , mom . jordan : tj , come on . what is it gon na take for you to realize i am not the woman that you think i am ?

[ scene_break ] tj : you know , this is not the first time you tried to tell me i did n't understand what 's really going on , and i would love to believe that , but they 're just words , all right ? your actions say otherwise . jordan : i know how it looks , okay ? tj : and you claim you came to port charles to see me , but it only took you a few weeks to get mixed up in selling drugs -- again . jordan : i 'm so sorry that i 'm hurting you . tj : mom , look me in my eyes and tell me you 're not up to your neck with a bunch of dealers . jordan : everything that i have ever done has been to protect you . i hope when this is all over that you can understand that . good luck on your test . [ crying ] [ scene_break ] kiki : michael , can we just please talk about this ? i know that you want answers , but if sabrina really thought that what carlos told her was true , she would have called the cops . this is gossip . it 's hearsay . michael : as long as the theory of your mother killing aj is out there , unproven one way or the other , it 's gon na be hanging over us . kiki : no . no , it wo n't -- not if you do n't let it . michael : no , we need answers , okay ? and the cops can get it faster than we can . [ scene_break ] morgan : something wrong ? ava : well ... silas was just telling me that nina is still very angry with me , and she blames me for breaking up their marriage , and that concerns me because it 's your friend rosalie who is one of the few people that knows where i am . morgan : i told you that rosalie promised me she wo n't say anything . i know she wo n't say anything . silas : i hate to break it to you , kid -- nina knows that you 're in this together . they 're thick as thieves . morgan : well , that 's not what i heard . i heard rosalie 's not on good terms with your wife , nina , and that she 's done helping her . [ scene_break ] rosalie : try not to worry too much about your sister . she 's very resourceful . she can definitely take care of herself . nathan : well , that 's what i 'm worried about , though . if nina feels like she does n't need any help , then she might just disappear , and i 'll never find her . and i know i can help her . rosalie : you 'll find her . or she 'll find you . you 're her baby brother . she loves you . nathan : hey , if you , uh -- if you hear anything ... rosalie : uh , yeah . definitely . nathan : thanks , rosalie .

[ scene_break ] franco : [ coughing ] i 'm sorry . why -- wh - why would heather show up at the wedding ? carly : it 's nothing , probably . it 's just that olivia had another one of her visions earlier at the metro court . franco : she 's still doing that ? carly : apparently . and she said she saw heather with a knife . i mean , i just think olivia 's having another lsd episode and that her premonitions are just coincidence , but hearing heather 's name gave me the chills . franco : well , heather is locked up tighter than fort knox . they built a whole separate wing for her . believe me , heather 's not going anywhere without me knowing all about it . carly : i 'm being silly . i know . are you hungry ? i 'm feelin ' pizza . franco : wow ! now you 're the one having psychic premonitions , 'cause that is exactly what i was thinking -- pizza !

[ sighs ] julian : and what she did is n't ? alexis : you are not on the birth certificate . you have no legal claim yet . so we have to strategize and handle this appropriately . julian : the dna test right here proves i 'm the father . alexis : the dna test was obtained through improper channels . i stole the binky , so we have to handle this with the utmost care . julian : oh , is that how olivia handled this -- with the utmost care ? was -- was allowing me to grieve for my son some sort of a legal maneuver ? was it within her maternal rights to make me think that my baby had been taken from me ? and not just taken , cremated . burned to ashes . the only thing i have left from my son is that little hospital bracelet . she got to hold him and love him . she did n't just deprive me of my son , she made me believe he was dead . [ scene_break ] olivia : i can not tell you how glad i am that julian jerome has no claim to this child . morgan : yeah . well , you lucked out , 'cause matteo here seems to be a pretty great kid . olivia : [ chuckles ] yeah . i think i 'll keep him . [ baby babbles ] morgan : listen , um ... you know , i know you had your reasons for why you did n't tell dad about dante and why you kept them apart , but from what i hear , you were a champion of a mom , and i 'm willing to bet that matteo here is gon na grow up to be just as good as dante . [ scene_break ] lulu : dante , does dillon know something that i do n't ? dante : lulu , i -- lulu : we have already been through so much together , and we 're gon na have another child . i just want everything out in the open . so if there 's something that you have to say , just say it . dante : there 's nothing , okay ? lulu : okay . well , i think i did the right thing by telling dillon he could n't continue filming on the boat . dante : i think that 's for the best . [ scene_break ] maxie : i loved being in that movie . nathan : i know . maxie : and i was challenging myself . and i was good , damn it . at least i think i was good . and even if i was n't , i was having the time of my life . nathan : well , look , now that you know that you can , i 'm sure that there 'll be another opportunity . maxie : oh , i refuse to give up on this opportunity . we might not be able to film at the haunted star , but dillon and i are gon na find a way to finish that movie . nathan : how are you gon na do that ? maxie : by depending on the kindness of strangers . courtesy of fabphilanthropy . nathan : which is ... ? maxie : crowd funding . i promised dillon we could use it to raise enough money to finish the film . nathan : can you ? maxie : probably not . which is why we need to find an investor with enough money to pitch in . nathan : well , why does n't dillon just ask his father ? maxie : [ sighs ] he refuses to ask his dad for money . and he wo n't ask tracy for money because of the whole family pride thing . and , of course , i do n't know anyone with that kind of cash . but i refuse to give up hope . we just need to find an investor with a big infusion of cash to give us .

alexis wastes no time presenting julian with the dna test results she secretly obtained that prove that he is the biological father of the baby olivia claims she adopted and named matteo . finding out that olivia not only lied to him about the baby but had him falsely believing his son died without so much as a chance to meet or say good - bye to him , when all along he 's alive and well , julian is infuriated and ready to take action against her , so he can have legal rights to his son . alexis urges him not to take drastic `` illegal `` action to set himself up to give olivia good legal justification to prevent him from having legal rights to his child while she goes to petition for a judge to hear julian 's case . while at the station , dante and lulu overhear her and dante urges her to know his mom had reason to do what she did in order to keep baby leo safe , like she did with him , and not like alexis did with her own daughter . she tells him she understands but intends to protect julian 's legal rights . lulu assesses the situation and is still completely `` in the dark `` about her husband 's secret as she tells him she 's so grateful they have no lies between them and she wants to have another baby . dante is obviously not comfortable hearing that . meanwhile , julian is not about to wait or do what alexis has asked him and goes to confront a completely uncooperative and unapologetic olivia . noticing out infuriated and ruthless he appears , olivia tells him he is not fit to go anywhere near `` her `` child . nina is ready to not only financially support franco with her trust fund . she wants to `` buy `` kiki who is completely unfriendly to her . maxie and nathan are able to persuade her to financially bail out dillon 's film so maxie has her acting opportunity . sonny is not about to listen to patrick 's advice that he not leave the hospital and gets physical therapy . the thought of being paralyzed for life is not ok and not something he even wants to consider .

[ scene_break ] lulu : you live in the middle of nowhere , johnny . every time you step foot outside your father 's house , there are two of his men right behind you . johnny : you ca n't be too careful . lulu : there is a difference between caution and keeping you on a leash . no wonder you take off so much . if i lived here , i would make a run for it , too . johnny : i 'm sure you would . lulu : look , i get that your father 's business is very dangerous , but that does n't give him a right to keep you as a prisoner . you need to start living life on your own terms . johnny : here . lulu : what is that for ? johnny : you can go now . [ scene_break ] ric : well , i 'm going to hazard a guess and say that my father did n't just stop in here for coffee . you dragged him in off the street , maybe at gunpoint ? that would constitute a crime . if you want to press charges , i 'd be more than happy to prosecute them .

[ scene_break ] patrick : you and lucky may be getting a divorce , but you still share two kids together . you ca n't honestly think this is a good idea for lucky to help robin have a child ? elizabeth : if robin wants to have a baby and lucky 's willing to help her , then that 's his decision . it has nothing to do with me . patrick : well , maybe not , but it has everything to do with your two kids . if lucky agrees to help robin , that baby is going to be cam and jake 's little brother or sister . they 're not going to grow up together -- if robin has her way , they probably wo n't even know each other . she 's bound and determined to do this on her own . elizabeth : well , being a single mother is hard , not impossible . people do it every day . patrick : i understand that , but it does n't mean robin should . elizabeth : if you have a problem with this , maybe you need to take it up with her . [ scene_break ] lucky : yeah , i know this may be none of my business , but why are n't you asking patrick to be the father of your baby ? robin : uh -- patrick and i broke up . lucky : i 'm sorry . i -- robin : do n't be . really , it 's -- it 's just -- it better this way . see , patrick did n't want children , and because being a mother is n't something that i 'm willing to give up , i had to give up patrick instead . lucky : that could n't be easy . robin : it took me a really long time to let my guard down with patrick . but when i finally did , i fell completely in love with him . the truth is i 'm still in love with him , but patrick is not an option anymore . i 've decided that i can do this on my own – well , not completely on my own , obviously , so that 's why i 'm asking you for your help . lucky : why me ? robin : we 've known each other almost our whole lives . you 've always been a good friend . and judging from jake , you make beautiful babies . i would just like you to at least think about it . [ scene_break ] logan : you want to make threats ? you go right ahead . carly : you got exactly two seconds to let me go , or i call jason , i tell him what you 've done , and he blows your head off . logan : what are you doing ? carly : i 'm calling jason . logan : look , carly , listen , i was out of line . i should not have grabbed you like that , okay ? carly : no , you should n't have . logan : look , i 'm just worried about lulu , all right ? she 's not answering her phone , no one 's seen her since last night -- it 's like she just disappeared . carly : or she 's wised up ! logan : l get that you do n't like me , okay ? listen to me . i care a lot about her . carly : yeah , you proved that by jumping into bed with maxie . logan : i was an idiot . carly : you 're a liar , and you 're a cheater , and after what you just pulled , i 'm more convinced than ever that you do n't belong anywhere near lulu . [ scene_break ] trevor : oh , my , it 'd be very tempting to send you to prison . but in the end , i do n't think it 's worth the time to press charges . because , you see , any competent lawyer could get the case thrown out of court for lack of evidence . ric : well , charging jason with assault would get him off the street . trevor : yeah , an hour or so -- unless you trump up murder charges while mr. morgan is down at the precinct . ric : the last time jason was charged with murder , it was n't fabricated . he walked into lorenzo alcazar 's home , shot him in cold blood , and then he dumped his body in the harbor . trevor : well , you could n't make that stick in open court . so unless you want to be next , i would suggest that you stop antagonizing mr. morgan . because it seems to me he could put a bullet in both of us . but then again , you know , there would be a terrible bloody mess on the boss ' floor , and you would n't have the time to clean it up with such short notice . so , come on , ric , let 's go . ric : no , i 'm going to stick around for a while . i have a few more questions for mr. morgan . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm -- i 'm just here to talk . your people have been moving into my territory . is that -- is that happening without your knowledge ? anthony : i know all about it , mr. corinthos -- port charles is mine . sonny : that 's going to be a problem . anthony : there 's a simple solution . sonny : whoa , whoa , whoa . anthony : your turn . sonny : i 'm not doing this – i 'm not doing this game right now . anthony : i 'm offering you a possible future , take it . sonny : i do n't want a future . okay , okay , give me -- i 'll take the gun . sonny : i do n't play games . anthony : `` i do n't play games . i do n't play games ! `` you 'll play with me !

[ scene_break ] logan : look , when i made that deal with maxie , i had no idea how wonderful or amazing lulu was or how much i actually cared about her . she really is the best thing that 's ever happened to me , and i wanted to come clean with lulu about the bet . but i knew if i did , she 'd never speak with me again , and i could n't risk losing her . carly : so you 're not only a jerk , you 're a coward . a real man would own up to his mistakes and face the consequences . logan : look , carly , i know i 've handled things badly , but lulu 's willing to give me another chance , all right ? i 'm not going to screw that up . i swear on my life i 'm never going to hurt that girl again . carly : you 're damn right you 're not going to because i 'm not going to let you get anywhere near logan : you have n't heard a single word i 've said , have you ? carly : i hear a lot of excuses , okay , so get the hell out of my house before i have you removed one piece at a time . lulu : i would n't want to bore you , so do n't worry , you 'll never have to see me again . [ scene_break ] johnny : do n't forget your cash . lulu : i do n't want your money -- correction -- your big , scary dad 's money . just because he 's an overprotective freak does n't excuse the way you treat people . johnny : you hitched a ride with me , lulu , and now you 're trying to make it out to be more than it was . lulu : for the record , you 're the one who pursued me . johnny : i did n't make you get in the car . lulu : oh -- you know what ? everyone warned me that you 're crazy , and it turns out they 're right . let 's go , milo . milo : with pleasure . [ scene_break ] ric : so i hear johnny zacchara 's paid several visits to port charles recently -- and he 's reputed for being unstable and very violent . what are the chances that he 's responsible for leticia 's murder ? jason : i got nothing to say without my attorney . ric : i see . still refusing to cooperate with law enforcement , even though we 're trying to solve the murder of an innocent woman whose only crime was agreeing to work for sonny . you know , leticia raised michael and morgan from the time they were born . she loved and cared for those children as if they were her own , and what 'd she get for it , hmm ? a phone cord wrapped around her neck . if johnny zacchara is responsible for leticia 's murder , jason , then he needs to be put in prison before he can do it to somebody else . and if you have any information , i would appreciate it if you would tell me . jason : why do n't you call diane -- you got her number ? ric : okay , you know what ? you do n't speak for yourself , okay , you certainly do n't think for yourself , and god knows you do n't make a move unless sonny tells you to -- i mean , look what happened tonight . you wanted to kill both me and my father , but you could n't take action unless sonny gave you the approval . jason : like i said , i got nothing to say to you . ric : as a mob enforcer , you have a reputation for being a well - trained , highly feared killing machine . but the only problem is that you ca n't pull the trigger unless sonny orders you to . that makes you nothing more than a trained guard dog . [ door opens and closes ] [ scene_break ] anthony : this is your one last chance , mr. corinthos . play the game , or pay with the lives of everyone you love . sonny : i did n't come here to disturb you , i came -- anthony : you do n't think i know what you 've done ? you stole my son ! he 's all i have left in the world , and you tried to take him away from me ! i 'm going to take your sons away . i 'm going to slit their throats from ear to ear , and i 'm going to make you watch while they bleed . anthony : i have to talk to the gardener . the roses need to be pruned before the weather turns . sonny : max -- max , come on . [ scene_break ] patrick : okay , i 'm trying to get robin to understand that having a baby is a huge , life - changing decision . you do n't just wake up one day and decide to get pregnant . elizabeth : robin is not an impulsive person . you know she would n't make a decision like this without thinking it through . patrick : see , that 's the problem , elizabeth -- i do n't believe she 's thinking . she 's reacting -- or , in this case , overreacting -- to our breakup . elizabeth : sometimes it takes a breakup to put things into perspective . you 're forced to take stock of your life and then you begin to realize what 's really important . and maybe robin took a long , hard look and decided that being a mother is what really matters to her . patrick : if robin wants to be a mother , that 's fine -- adopt a child that really needs a home . do n't chase every guy around town looking for sperm to have a baby . elizabeth : how she chooses to become a mother is up to her . patrick : elizabeth , you ca n't really think this is a good idea , that she 's asking lucky for help ? elizabeth : i do n't get a say in what lucky does . my marriage is over , and i 'm focusing on the future . and if that 's what robin is doing , then who are we to tell her she 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] lucky : i am honored that you would even think to ask me to be your child 's father . robin : you do n't want to do it . lucky : it -- robin : it 's okay . i understand . lucky : elizabeth and i , we 're going through a messy divorce and the kids are in the middle of it . i 'm not even allowed to see cameron and jake at all . robin : oh , my god , lucky , i 'm so sorry , i had no idea . lucky : it 's okay . it 's only been a few hours and it 's driving me crazy . that 's -- that 's how i know i just could n't help father a child and not be a part of it . and since that 's what it sounds like you want me to do , i do n't think i 'll be able to help . [ scene_break ] jax : i 'm sorry , i might be misinterpreting this but , um , are you asking if -- i -- i thought that you were involved with -- with sonny . kate : yes , i 'm -- well -- jax : like i said -- okay , okay , i 'm sorry -- kate : no , no , no . okay , that 's the problem -- sonny has a -- jax : oh . kate : `` situation `` -- jax : right . kate : and i ca n't go into the details -- jax , i know . it 's absurd that i 'm -- i 'm making myself complicit in god knows what by keeping sonny 's secrets . it -- jax : okay , please do n't take this the wrong way , but sonny does that with all his women . kate : i 'm not one of sonny 's `` women . `` jax : of course . yeah . kate : yeah , i 'm kate howard , i actually have a life and a career -- which i fully intend to revive , which is why i 'm soliciting you -- which is why i -- i really should n't be telling you any of this . jax : oh , no , no , please , please . you can tell me anything you want , because i really would appreciate the distraction . kate : okay , then -- so we 're in the same boat , because i could use the distraction , too , to keep my mind off of sonny 's `` event . `` and , anyway , um , why do n't you tell me about surfing . jax : surfing ? kate : yeah . jax : well , okay , that 's one of my favorite things to do . first , you have to be a go swimmer , which i do n't -- actually , i recall you 're not that good at it , are you ? kate : uh -- it 's one of those things i never got around to learning . jax : yeah . carly -- she 's a good swimmer . she grew up in florida and spent the summers on the beaches . um -- she never surfed , but we went surfing on our honeymoon for the first time -- really fun . kate : did something -- did something happen with you and carly ? look , you just told me i could tell you anything , and i assure you it goes both ways . [ jax sighs ] jax : i want to have a baby , and i just found out tonight that it might never happen . [ scene_break ] lulu : carly ? carly : hold on . yeah , she just walked in . okay , bye . logan had me worried sick about you . lulu : when did you see logan ? carly : a few minutes ago . he was worried because you did n't answer your phone all night . lulu : well , there was n't much cell reception at the cabin . carly : `` the cabin `` ? lulu : it 's a long story . [ lulu scoffs ] lulu : i hitched a ride with johnny ; we ended up in the mountains . carly : johnny zacchara is dangerous . why would you get in the car with him again ? lulu : save the lecture -- i know , it was stupid . carly : did he hurt you ? lulu : no -- his father 's men could 've been a little gentler when dragging me back to the creepy house . carly : anthony zacchara 's men grabbed you ? lulu : it was just so that johnny would come home . once he did , they let me go . carly : did you see his father there ? lulu : i did n't have time to see much of anything -- johnny was too busy kicking me off the property . but from what i could see , there was a lot of weird stuff going on over there . [ scene_break ] anthony : get out ! trevor : anthony ? what is the problem ? anthony : he 's gone . trevor : who ? anthony : johnny -- they took him again . i want my son . what the hell have y my son ? where is he ? johnny : i 'm right here . anthony : you 're back . johnny : do you want something ? anthony : you have to be more careful , johnny . you 're all i have left of her . she loved roses -- white , pink -- but red -- red were here favorites -- deep red like blood . trevor : john , you need to sit with him for a while , it calms him down . johnny : you 're thinking if he gets upset again , it might ruin your plans . trevor : no , no , no , no . if your father gets upset , people tend to die . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i picked up trevor just like you asked . i had him waiting here , ric shows up , of course -- sonny : we got -- we got a bigger problem than ric . zacchara is -- is crazy . i 'm -- i 'm talking out of his mind , and i 'm not just talking irrational . he -- he is insane . one minute he 's talking about roses , the next minute he 's talking about coming after my family . jason : are you sure it was n't an act ? sonny : no , no , no , no , it 's real . trevor has not wanted me to -- to see him because he does n't want the truth to come out . okay , i just thought that trevor was a mouthpiece , but he -- he 's -- he 's been running zacchara 's organization in his name . the real enemy here is trevor lansing . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's pretty obvious you 're not over robin yet , and somehow i seriously doubt she found a way to get over you . if the love is still there , why not try to work things out ? patrick : i will always love robin and want the best for her . but i 'm not it . elizabeth : how do you know ? patrick : because she told me in no uncertain terms that she wants a family , and i do n't . elizabeth : oh . is the thought of committing to one person for the rest of your life really that scary ? patrick : surprisingly , commitment is not the problem . robin and i were together for a year and a half . if this whole baby thing did n't happen , we 'd still be together . we broke up because we have fundamentally different views of what we want out of life . now , if i was to have a baby with her to try and hold on to a relationship , that would n't be fair to anyone , most of all the child . elizabeth , i just -- i do n't think i 'm father material . elizabeth : that 's what most men say until the moment they hold their first child . patrick : i like my life the way it is . do i wish robin was in it ? absolutely . but realistically , i know that that ca n't happen . so i have to try and find a way to accept that i can love someone and want to be with them , but for whatever reason , we ca n't share a life together . elizabeth : if you figure out how to make peace with that , will you let me know ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay , i want you to tell me everything , starting with what you were doing with johnny up in the mountains . lulu : a lot has happened since we last talked -- not johnny , but with logan , too . carly : so he was n't just running his mouth about you forgiving him , you -- he was n't making that up ? lulu : yeah , we agreed to try again . carly : why ? lulu : because i made a deal with scott baldwin . um , he said that he would drop the charges against my dad and give guardianship of my mom back over to nikolas if i gave logan a second chance . carly : that 's not a deal , lulu , that 's blackmail . lulu : you sound exactly like my dad . he thinks that scott 's really using me , and this is all about him trying to get back at my dad . carly : i ca n't believe i 'm going to side with your father , but no one knows scott better than your father , and if luke thinks that he has some kind of an agenda he probably does . lulu : scott feels bad about bailing on logan , and he 's trying to score points any way that he can . carly : because scott was a deadbeat dad does n't mean it 's up to you to fix it . lulu : the truth is i 've been looking for an excuse to try again with logan . carly : then what were you doing with johnny up at the cabin ? lulu : ugh . i was trying to explain to my dad why i care about logan , he basically made me fee a fool . so i started second - guessing myself , and the more i tried to make sense of it , the more confused i got , so i took off , and i ran into johnny . carly : you 're second - guessing yourself because you know that logan is a lying , unfaithful jerk , and if you get back together with him , he is just going to break your heart again . lulu : you do n't know logan like i do . carly : i know when he does n't get what he wants , he loses it , just like he did with me today . lulu : what are you talking about ? carly : he busted in my house looking for you , and when i told him to get out , he grabbed me . i 'm telling you , the sooner you get rid of this guy , the happier you will be . [ scene_break ] trevor : john -- john , do you want to destroy everything that your father 's built up by allowing sonny corinthos to see him like this ? johnny : it 's his to destroy , remember that . trevor : no , john , it 's going to be `` yours `` one day . so now i got to clean it up for both of you , so , please , a little help would be nice . no more visits to lulu spencer . johnny : you can relax . i made sure lulu will never want to see me again . trevor : and that 's a wise choice . the last thing you want your father to find out is why you have been taking off . johnny : lulu 's name better not come up anywhere near my father . trevor : johnny , johnny . you want lulu to be safe ? stay home . do n't make your father come looking for you . [ scene_break ] sonny : from what i hear , zacchara 's always been a crazy , ruthless bastard , okay , who 's been hanging on by a thread . if his wife was murdered , that could 've been enough to make him snap . jason : and when he did , trevor was there to pick up the pieces . sonny : right , and trevor , you know , got him out of the city , left him in crimson pointe , had somebody watching him 24 hours . hey , you know what ? if nobody knows that zacchara 's crazy , then trevor can run things in his name . jason : and he has complete deniability . sonny : it 's the perfect -- it 's the perfect setup . trevor can call the shots , and , you know , zacchara can take blame for the fallout . jason : oh , man , you said anthony made some threats . what -- what ? sonny : he 's -- he 's totally and criminally insane , and there 's no doubt in my mind that if he got loose , he would make good on his promise and come after my family . [ scene_break ] logan : i 'm glad you called . lulu : sorry , i did n't mean to take off without telling you . logan : what 's wrong ? did i do something to upset you ? lulu : i -- no , i just -- needed time to think . i have so many voices in my head , i do n't know which one is mine anymore . logan : let me guess -- they 're all saying `` get rid of logan . `` lulu : no , not all of them . logan : so where were you ? lulu : i -- um -- went up to the mountains for the night , and then when i came back , i stopped by carly 's , and she said stuff got kind of ugly with the two of you ? logan : yeah , they did . i realized i do n't -- um -- i do n't think we 're going to work after all . [ scene_break ] sonny : focus is on trevor lansing . if you see johnny zacchara around town , you leave him alone . milo : what if he 's with lulu ? sonny : then you take her home . i do n't want you to lay a hand on johnny zacchara . you understand what i 'm saying ? milo : yes , i do , mr. c . sonny : you got your tail -- the tail on trevor ? max : they 've been on him all week . sonny : okay , i want you to find him , bring him here . okay ? max : sure , boss . anything -- anything else ? sonny : yeah , i want you to put some more guards on -- on carly and the boys . max : jax already has around - the - clock -- sonny : i do n't care what jax wants . zacchara 's threatening them . for all i know , he put a hit out on michael and morgan , and leticia got killed instead . i ca n't take any more chances . max : of course not . uh -- just so you know , mrs. c is n't going to like this very much . sonny : you know what , max ? she can get in my face all she wants . but at least i know she 's alive . [ scene_break ] carly : oh , jason , thank got you 're here . i have so much to tell you , starting with lulu -- you 'll never believe what she did this time . jason : no , no , no , no , you need to -- you need to let me go first , it 's important . i checked on michael and morgan , and they 're -- they 're fine . carly : why would n't they be fine ? jason : because sonny met with anthony zacchara today . carly : did he see lulu there ? because she was -- jason : no -- please , carly , you need to listen to me . sonny says that anthony is crazy , and i 'm -- i 'm talking totally insane . he threatened to kill michael and morgan . carly : you 're not going to let that happen . jason : no , zacchara is basically a prisoner in his own home , there 's guards on him 24/7 , he has no real power anymore . carly : then why are you scaring me like this ? jasonl because sonny says if this guy got loose , might make good on his word . you 're -- you 're their mother , you need to know the danger exists . carly : what are you going to do about this ? jason : i -- it 's complicated . sonny says the place is like a fortress , it would be really hard to get to zacchara , and nobody knows the guy 's crazy -- trevor 's been covering for him for years . so it would look like that sonny went in , killed his rival in his own home without being provoked . carly : and then someone would turn around and do that to sonny . jason : right . i mean , it 's just -- it 's just going to take time to deal with zacchara . i mean , that does n't mean you and the boys need to change how you live . but you -- you need to be careful this time . carly : if that son of a bitch comes near my kids , i 'll kill him myself . jason : i 'm -- i 'm going to take care of it . not as soon as i would like , but i will . carly : i want you to tell me everything that 's happened . start from the beginning so i can wrap my brain around this , jason . jason : it 's just business . most of it 's business -- carly : if anthony zacchara is trying to kill my kids , then i get to know why . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , i was never in a hurry to have kids . i always thought that it would just happen one day . kate : hmm . jax : a few years ago , i was involved with a surrogacy -- that did n't turn out too well . then i married carly . and i have two great stepsons , but i would like another child -- preferably a girl . but i 'm not picky , you know . kate : and carly disagrees ? jax : she 's afraid that she 'll have difficulty getting pregnant , which will then put a strain on our marriage . kate : well , she has a point . i 've known a few marriages who have broken up over fertility issues . jax : really ? kate : ironically , usually it 's -- it 's the woman who wants to do it because , you know , she has a career , she feels like her time is running out , and so they get on the fertility bandwagon and -- they got the shots and the temperature testing , and , sadly , even sometimes when there is a baby , it 's too late , the marriage is already falling apart . jax : right , so you 're saying i should let it go ? kate : what i 'm saying is that my advice and a $ 1.70 will get you a cup of coffee . jax : no , no , come on , i still want to hear it . kate : jax , i do n't like carly very much , but that does n't mean that i 'm oblivious to her strengths . i think in time that carly will realize that having a baby with her husband is worth the emotional upheaval -- after all , carly does seem to thrive on emotional upheaval . jax : so you 're saying i should just wait her out ? kate : i think that carly will realize that she does want to have a baby with you , i think you just need to give her some time to realize it . [ scene_break ] patrick : one more question . is that okay ? elizabeth : ask away . patrick : if you had to do it all over again , would you make it work with lucky ? or would you have let of it sooner ? elizabeth : uh -- as much as i care about lucky , i should 've never remarried him . patrick : why did you ? elizabeth : he checked himself into rehab , he got clean so he could get his family back -- i wanted to support him . patrick : yeah . elizabeth : and i wanted our family and our love to come back , too . but i remarried him even though my feelings had changed , and if i 'd been honest from the start , i could 've saved us both a lot of pain . patrick : so you think a clean break is best ? elizabeth : i ca n't speak for anyone else . i was n't in love with lucky ; you ca n't say that about robin . and until you can , i do n't think you 'll ever be able to make a clean break . patrick : can you tell me when mr. westmoreland 's labs are back , please ? elizabeth : yes . patrick : thank you . robin : i 'm sure patrick just gave you an earful of my plans to have a baby , but do n't worry . lucky wo n't be making a contribution -- he turned me down . go ahead , say it . i mean , i -- i asked the man who is technically still your husband to be the father of my child . you have every right to tell me how you feel about that -- and , believe me , ca n't be any worse than what carly said when i asked jax . elizabeth : you asked jax ? robin : and leo . but i 'm 0 - 3 for potential fathers -- patrick will be happy to hear that . i know how that must sound . it 's really not that way . see , i made a list of men , mainly friends , who had qualities that i would like to pass on to a child . elizabeth : you do n't have to explain . robin : seems like that 's all i 've been doing lately . i keep having to defend why i want to have a child and raise it on my own . elizabeth : okay , not that my opinion matters , but if you want to have a baby , i think you should . robin : thank you . elizabeth : one word of advice -- use a sperm bank , not a friend . robin : why ? elizabeth : even with the best of intentions , i seriously doubt any guy on your list will be able to walk away from his own child once it 's born . [ scene_break ] lulu : you want to break up with me when we 're technically not together ? logan : all i want is for you to be happy . there 's not a chance of that happening with your family , your friends , and everyone else constantly coming down on you for being with me . lulu : since when do you care what people think ? logan : i 'm sorry , okay ? i just do n't want to set myself up to be angry all the time . and i definitely do n't want to go off on somebody else like i did with carly today . lulu : what was that about anyway ? logan : i just -- she told me to stay away from you . lulu : well , that 's not carly 's call to make . logan : well , i still should n't have grabbed her . i mean , that 's proof that this is a bad idea . you would not even be here standing , talking to me right now if baldwin had n't scammed you into giving me a second chance . lulu : i know what i 'm doing . logan : look , you were trying to take care of your parents . i do n't blame you for that . but , lulu , baldwin signed the papers . you 're not obligated to him , me , or anybody else . you 're free to be with whoever you want . [ scene_break ] handler : texting your girlfriend ? johnny : you should n't have brought lulu here . handler : yeah ? well , you should n't have ran off . but i guess we know where to find you when you do . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , listen to me . lulu was here . she took off with johnny zacchara again , and then zacchara 's men picked her up . she was in the zacchara house . jason : yeah , as soon as sonny got there , he had her sent home . carly : i do n't understand . if anthony 's not in charge , how can he have his men pick her up ? jason : okay , trevor lansing is running the zacchara organization . he can only do that by hiding the fact that anthony is absolutely crazy . carly : so trevor had lulu picked up ? jason : right , so johnny would come back home . anthony is obsessed with his son , and you know what ? trevor uses johnny to keep anthony calm and manageable . carly : so all those trips to port charles was just so johnny could get away from his crazy father ? jason : right . and if anything happens to johnny , trevor loses all control over anthony . carly : which explains why trevor was so weirdly overprotective of johnny , telling me to keep lulu away from him . huh . you know , he made johnny out to be the crazy one , when anthony 's the nut job , and johnny 's basically in the unfortunate position of being a bargaining chip . jason : yeah , pretty much . carly : well , it 's not like johnny 's completely normal . i mean , he 's a little off . why would n't he be ? you know , he 's the son of a mob boss , been around violence his whole life . you sure michael and morgan are okay ? jason : well , i can check with the guards again if you want . carly : no , no , i 'm just thinking how johnny is basically a hostage for his father . i do n't want that to happen to michael and morgan . [ scene_break ] trevor : you son of -- this is the last time that i get picked up by your men . sonny : you just might want to get your own bodyguards then , right ? but that might send out a message that you 're not just anthony zacchara 's mouthpiece . and that would ruin the arrangement you 've worked so hard to keep quiet . you guys go ahead and go , because i got some business to take care of . it 's a nice little setup you got going there , trevor . [ door closes ] sonny : zacchara 's out of his mind , so you step in and run his organization . you get all the power , none of the blame , and i 'm sure you found a way to make him think that he 's calling the shots . every threat you make , every hit that you order , he thinks it 's coming from him , but i sure as hell know better . and i want you to know that that threat -- for me to step aside , unless my family 's going to pay ? that came from you . now , i want to give you my answer . [ next_on ] jason : sonny knows that trevor 's running the organization . it 's possible trevor might back off . sonny : port charles is mine . trevor : what makes you think you have a choice ? lucky : welcome home .
ric rescues trevor from jason . despite what patrick thinks , liz wo n't stop lucky from fathering a child with robin if he wants that . the two then discuss relationship issues . sonny realizes that zacchara is a two carat nut when he gets in to see the man and that trevor 's been running things for years . so , he goes to the man himself as the show ends . first , carly lays down the law to logan , then has a heart to heart with lulu . kate and jax talk about his desire for a child with carly and the potential problems with infertility she might have . logan decides to break up with lulu .
luke : nature 's nosh and nectar of romance . tracy : bubbling wine and fish eggs wo n't make me more receptive philanderer . luke : that 's a category i have n't graced in many a moon . tracy : only because you were held captive . luke : my dear , it 's been a very long , dry summer . i crave your healing touch . tracy : if this is your idea of romance , i 'm not impressed . luke : well , i 've done everything you asked . i got helena back to europe . i 'm standing here totally devoted to your comfort . could n't you meet me halfway ? tracy : if you want nooky ... you 're gon na have to work a lot harder to get it . luke : allow me to consult with my associate . dodge , first thing in the morning , pick me up three dozen long - stemmed red roses and a sparkler from that jeweler on main street , and put it on her credit card . ethan : i 'm sorry , mate . you 're gon na have to fend for yourself tonight .

anna : duke does n't have any dna on record . so that sample 's not gon na tell you whether it is or is n't him . luke : [ sighs ] monica : oh , tracy . how are you this lovely evening ? tracy : why are you nauseatingly chipper ? monica : well , you can congratulate me . i am a grandmother again . jason and sam are back together , and the baby is alive and well . sam : hey , i -- hi . mcbain : hi . sam : uh , i did n't expect to see you here . i thought jason forgot his key . mcbain : i did n't expect to find you here , either . duke : you should n't have interfered . dante : dr. v says any time you get pregnant , you 're gon na have a miscarriage ? lulu : i ca n't carry past the second trimester . dante : why did n't she tell us this before ? lulu : 'cause i guess it 's not something that you can find in a regular exam , and she did some tests , including an mri , and ... that 's when she saw what was wrong . dante : so when we thought you were -- you were pregnant before ... ? lulu : i might have been and just had a really , really early miscarriage . dante : all right . so what do we do now ? how do we fix this ? lulu : dr. v says that it 's not treatable . dante : what do you mean ? so , like , i mean , if you wanted to , they could n't have , like , a surgery to help it or anything ? lulu : i 'm sorry . dante : why ? do n't apologize . lulu : i think ... this is my fault . monica : does this look small to you ? i mean , it says 6 to 9 months . tracy : it looks fine . you , on the other hand , look absolutely ridiculous . the role of doting grandmother does not suit you in the slightest . monica : well , too bad . tracy : and not to be indelicate . the baby is n't jason 's . it 's franco 's . monica : do n't go there , tracy . tracy : i certainly understand jason accepting the baby . he clearly has no problem with other men 's babies . look what happened with michael . but i do n't know why the rest of us have to accept franco 's baby as a quartermaine . monica : because he is a quartermaine , tracy . he is alan 's son , just like jason and a.j . tracy : lucky alan . a.j . and jason were disappointing enough . at least he did n't live long enough to find out about franco . tracy : ooh . be careful , tracy . your greed is showing . you 're worried about another potential heir . tracy : daddy 's always had a soft spot -- or should i say blind spot -- for quartermaine babies . monica : especially when they 're named after him . tracy : no . they 're naming the baby edward ? oh , that has to be sam . she 's always been a gold digger . jason would n't care . monica : [ laughs ] well , first of all , tracy , you named your firstborn after edward . tracy : with good reason . i 'm his daughter , not a career criminal who turned his back on this family years ago and has done nothing but spill blood all over the quartermaine name . monica : okay , enough of the dramatics . the baby 's name is daniel edward . tracy : so why did n't you say that in the first place ? monica : and speaking of blood , when did you decide to play doctor ? tracy : what ? monica : you were in my medical bag , and you certainly did n't put it back the way you found it . tracy : oh . did n't i tell you ? i , uh ... pulled a bullet out of joseph 's shoulder a few weeks ago . monica : wha ? duke : goodbye , mr. morgan . joe jr. : [ grunts , gasps ] duke : oh , scully , scully , scully . what in the world am i going to do with you ? luke : what was i thinking ? duke died before dna profiling . anna : he did n't die . he 's alive , and you yanked his hair out for nothing . luke : well , i got to say , the man 's pain tolerance is that of a gnat . anna : [ scoffs ] my point is that you really need to give up this idea that you 're gon na prove duke is an imposter . luke : not necessarily . sam : jason ... let me know that he really loves this baby , and he wants to be his father . so when he asked me to come home with him that day , i -- i said yes . we belong together . we are a family . mcbain : i 'm happy for you . sam : you are a really good man , john . you helped my son and i through everything . i do n't want to leave things unresolved between us . i mean , i know you and i , we have -- mcbain : we do n't need to talk about you and i . sam : yes , i think we do . duke : you failed to kill kristina . to redeem you , i gave you this job . you could n't even dispatch a lowly accountant . joe jr. : i 'm sorry . duke : yeah . no murder is perfect , scully . there 's always evidence . it always leaves a trail . that 's why i delegate . well , you let me down . my hands are dirty . they might as well get dirtier .

lulu : do n't you worry , connie . alexis is taking care of all the paperwork to make it official that she is handling our case . and then i am going to tell her everything that she needs to know about maxie to make sure that no judge will ever grant her and spinelli custody of you .

[ sighs ] sweetheart , i felt it was more important to come back home because of what 's going on with you and the baby . lulu : there 's nothing to talk about . connie is our baby -- mine and dante 's -- and that 's exactly how it 's going to stay . spinelli : i know we all feel strongly about her . lulu : actually , alexis is handling the paperwork to make sure . spinelli : to make sure of what ? lulu : we 've made a decision . we 're suing you and maxie for custody of the baby . sabrina : [ laughs ] oh , my god ! we have so much to talk about ! when are we gon na have the wedding ? where 's it gon na be ? what kind of wedding is it gon na be ? who 's gon na marry us ? patrick : okay , i do n't know if we have to figure all that out right this minute . sabrina : okay . no , i know . you 're right . i 'm just so excited . it 's actually happening !

robin : it 's his house . it 's his island . and by the way , he was n't too happy to find out that he had squatters . dr. obrecht : it 's impossible . this was his grandmother 's home . he would never return here . robin : well , he made an exception for you . dr. obrecht : me ? robin : you should n't have sent that video with you and britt 's baby . for supposedly a brilliant doctor , that was a really stupid move . nikolas recognized his family home , and he is upstairs as we speak , rescuing britt 's baby . nikolas : let britt have her baby , or i will put a bullet in your head . there 's not a jury in this world that would convict me for it . britt : listen to him , father . he means what he says . ah ! faison : take him . call that bulldog off . britt : oh , ben . oh , my god . oh , my god . i 'm so happy you 're okay . faison : how come you 're so happy to have him back , britt ? according to yourself , you 're not even that baby 's natural mother . dr. obrecht : [ grunts ] robin : and by the way , frau doktor , i know that that baby is n't patrick 's . i know that you lied to me . you only told me that because you thought that i would guard him with my life . and you were right . dr. obrecht : i do n't understand what is happening . robin : what 's happening , obrecht , is that it 's over . as soon as nikolas comes back with that baby , i 'm going home , and there is nothing that you can do about it . and to make it even better , i see that someone did me the favor of knocking you out . so who was it ? who else have you pissed off ? dr. obrecht : you want to know who left me like this ? it was your mother and your father ! jerry : what have we here ? the wsb elite has arrived . now it 's a party . robin : jerry j . jerry : oh , you recognize me . how nice . of course i know you both by reputation . the legendary robert scorpio and the delightful anna devane . so wonderful to meet you . anna : where 's our daughter ? ! jerry : oh , i see . no pleasantries , eh . you 're eager for the reunion . anna : where is she ? ! jerry : is that what passes for professional detachment at wsb these days ? either the bureau 's standards have declined dramatically , or you 're -- what 's the official term ? -- emotionally compromised . robert : shut up , jacks , and get out of the way . jerry : you 're in no position to give me ultimatums . you see , you 're both armed , but so am i . in fact , it looks like we 're in a standoff . robert : our daughter 's here , and we intend to find her . anna : this ends now . jerry : oh , i do n't think so . you see , i need robin more than you do . nikolas : what are you talking about ? of course britt 's ben 's mother . i was there when he was born . is he -- is he all right ? let 's get out of here . faison : oh , so britt did n't tell you . that 's interesting . so did britt lie about this kid and his parentage , or was she just lying to me ? nikolas : what is he talking about ? what are you talking about ? faison : britt told me that little cesar is n't my flesh and blood , nor is it britt 's flesh and blood , so ... nikolas : no , t - that does n't make any sense . baby 's yours and brad 's is n't it ? spinelli : you 're suing for custody ? she -- she is n't yours . lulu : we 'll see what the courts have to say about that . alexis is drawing up the paperwork as we speak . i suggest you get a lawyer . spinelli : maxie and i have talked to diane . she 's agreed to represent us . in fact , she 's filing paperwork , too , that ensures maxie and i will raise connie . lulu : you 're wasting your time and your money . because we are not giving her to you . spinelli : lulu , you 'll have to . diane is petitioning the court . she 's getting a court order to force you ... to relinquish our daughter . mac : court order ? are you sure you want to do this ? maxie : i do n't want to do any of this . it 's painful and awful , and i feel horrible about all of it . but spinelli and i do n't have a choice . it 's the only way we 'll be able to get back our baby . mac : there must be something else . maxie : well , diane said we could go to the police and inform them that dante and lulu kidnapped connie , but we do n't want to do that . mac : that would only make things uglier than they already are . maxie : you still think we 're doing the right thing , do n't you ? i mean , you and mom said that you thought the baby should be with me , since she 's mine , i should raise her . mac : yes , maxie . she 's your daughter . you should fight for her . maxie : even though i would be tearing her away from dante and lulu ? they 're like family to me . mac : sweetheart , things like this tear families apart . maxie : i hate this . i hate that i 've hurt dante and lulu . i mean , i 've proven to them that they never should have trusted me . i basically have lived down to everyone 's expectations . but i know that i would hate it even more if i had to live without my little girl . mac : yeah . sweetheart , i know you 're doing the right thing . but you need to be prepared . i mean , things could get worse before they get better . lulu : i ca n't believe that you would get a court order to force us to give up our baby . [ baby fusses ] lulu : that 's something that i would expect from maxie , not from you . spinelli : i do n't -- i do n't see another option in this -- in this most difficult of circumstances . lulu : yeah , we 've been through a lot of difficult circumstances , spinelli . do you remember when you were on the run from alcazar ? you were hiding out in that skateboard shop . spinelli : yeah . buddha barry 's . i sent a text to an acquaintance asking for help , and to my great surprise , you showed up . lulu : alcazar grabbed us , locked us in that warehouse . we heard him give the order to have us killed . spinelli : his henchmen gifted us a bottle of tequila , thinking that if we were drunk enough we would n't move , making us easier to kill . lulu : it almost worked . yeah . you were really drunk . spinelli : i thought a little buzz would lessen the terror . with greatest respect , you were -- you were pretty hammered yourself . lulu : poor jason came to rescue us . spinelli : you know , you taught me to be a friend . you and jason . lulu : that 's why i do n't understand . we 've always had each other 's back , spinelli . how can you do this to me ? patrick : what are you doing ? you 're supposed to be asleep . [ grunts ] emma : i could n't sleep . there are funny shadows on my wall . patrick : oh , yeah ? u want me to go chase them away ? emma : i want to stay with you and sabrina . patrick : oh , you do ? emma : what were you talking about ? sabrina : shall we ? patrick : tell her together ? we have some big news , and we want you to be the first to hear it . robin : my parents are here ? dr. obrecht : i must give credit . they are the consummate spies -- violent and deceitful . you mother manipulated me into telling her what she wanted to know , and then they dispatched me with a clonk on the head as thanks . robin : where are they ? dr. obrecht : i sent them to the lab . run along and go find them . you 're right , robin . you 're free now . free to do as you choose . robin : nice try . i 'm not letting you out of my sight . you 're coming with me . dr. obrecht : but i am injured . my second concussion -- robin : save it ! you 're coming with me right now . jerry : not so fast . britt : of course ben is brad and mine 's . i would have told my father anything to get him to give me my baby . i knew he would lose interest if i told him that ben was n't his grandson . faison : which is it , britta ? just tell me . is little cesar my flesh and blood or not ? britt : all you need to know -- faison : just answer me ! nikolas : i do n't have time for this ! and you 're in no position to make demands . we 're leaving , and so are you . faison : and where the hell do you think we 're going ? nikolas : your daughter and her son are going home . you 're going back to steinmauer permanently . britt : we have to be careful . my mother 's downstairs . faison : another lying viper . nikolas : do n't worry . i got obrecht covered . britt : by whom ? nikolas : you 'll find out soon enough . jerry : drop the gun . my usually even temper has been frayed by recent events . do n't test me . now slide it over . thank you . [ grunts ] dr. obrecht : it looks like the tables are turned once again , little bird . jerry : no thanks to you , dr. obrecht . how did robin manage to knock you down again ? dr. obrecht : she did n't . it was my insipid daughter who knocked me out . the first time , at least . that ungrateful wretch ! jerry : are there anymore members of your family dropping by ? dr. obrecht : i assure you britta 's arrive was quite unexpected . jerry : well , you stole her child . it did n't occur to you that she would come looking for him ? you 've become more trouble than you 're worth , dr. obrecht . robin : if you 're ready to shoot her , please , do n't stop on my account . dr. obrecht : so petty . jerry 's not going to shoot me . jerry : oh , that depends . where is your inconvenient daughter right now ? dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] she ran upstairs to try to wrest her child from cesar . britt : and i succeeded ... mother . oh , my god . you 're ... robin : robin . britt : you 're patrick 's wife . robin : and you 're the woman that tried to pass off that baby as my husband 's . emma : is this about dr. westbourne 's baby ? patrick : no . why would you say that ? emma : because whenever you say you have news , it 's always about her baby . patrick : well , not this time . this is about me and sabrina . now , you know how much we love each other ? very much . emma : i do know . sabrina : and we both love you very much . emma : i love you , too . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : and because we all love each other , we want to spend the rest of our lives being a family -- all three of us . so we decided that me and sabrina are going to get married . spinelli : you saved my life , lulu -- not just physically , but ... you saved me as a person . u - until then , besides my beloved granny , there was no one that i cared about , nor anyone who cared for me , but ... you were so smart and so strong and ... so unexpected . i ... you made me want to be braver and better than i ever thought possible . so knowing all of what we 've been through , it is almost unbearable to see us in this place . lulu : a place where you are going to send an officer of the court into my home to rip my daughter away from me . spinelli : lulu , i had no idea that maxie was pregnant with my child until the baby was born . i did n't -- i did n't ask for this . i - i did n't know anything about it . i was in the dark as much as you were . lulu : why are you siding with maxie , then ? spinelli : when i found out what maxie had done , i was furious . and i - i - i told her that we had to keep it a secret because i wanted you and dante to have the baby that maxie had promised you , but ... now ... now i just ca n't . lulu : yes , you can . drop the court order , spinelli , please . convince maxie to do the same . maxie : i wish i could turn the clock back . you know , i wish i had been ... honest about the miscarriage when it happened . lulu said that she could 've forgiven me back then if i had been honest . do you think that 's true ? mac : no one really knows what they would have done . all we can do is face things the way they are now . maxie : i know you 're right . i just ca n't help but think this whole thing could have been avoided and lulu and i could still be friends . why do i do it , mac ? why do i lose all my best friends ? sabrina : so , emma , what do you think about our news ? emma : i 'm happy you 're getting married , but ... what about mommy ? britt : mother , did you know this whole time that she was still alive ? dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] what does it matter ? where is your father ? where is cesar ? jerry : finally a pertinent question . now , please enlighten us . where is that outrageously expensive and increasingly bothersome über criminal ? nikolas : oh , there 's so many to choose from . could you be more specific ? jerry : faison and prince cassadine . so lovely to see you there again . nikolas : now , i do n't remember inviting you , jerry . jerry : oh , please . with our history ? i did n't think a formal invitation was necessary . i mean , you 've been so helpful in the past . nikolas : right . when you poisoned me . but i understand that you 've since been poisoned . proof that karma exists . jerry : thank you so very much . nikolas : i was hoping you 'd already be dead . i can wait . drop the gun . jerry : or i could shoot robin . it 's not like i have n't done it before . robin : you 're not gon na shoot me . i 'm the key to your survival . unless you 're prepared to ship yourself off to australia to die . jerry : if i ca n't kill you , rest assured i wo n't hesitate to put a bullet in your parents .

[ baby fusses ] nikolas : whatever you want . jerry : what i want is to live . robin : oh ! now , my brilliant scientist here told me that the cure for polonium poisoning that is killing me is currently incubating in luke spencer . faison : does he hold the key to your survival ? jerry : yes , it 's rather macabre , do n't you think ? it 's almost vampiric ... the fact that for me to live , i have to have luke spencer 's blood . and you 're gon na get it for me . patrick : mommy 's not with us anymore , babe . emma : i know . but are n't you already married to mommy ? patrick : no , not really 'cause she 's in heaven now . emma : is that why you took off your wedding ring ? patrick : it 's part of the reason . but it 's not gone . it 's with mommy 's ring ... in a special box , where we 'll keep it always . patrick : that 's right . one day i 'm gon na give it to you . emma : because you 'll get another ring when you marry sabrina ? patrick : [ chuckles ] yes . sabrina : hey , emma , is something bothering you ? emma : you said that mommy 's always with us , watching us . patrick : that 's right . emma : then will mommy be sad if you get another wife ? robin : but luke spencer is in port charles . jerry : i imagine so , unless his flight was delayed . but he 'll be there soon enough . which presents a logistical challenge . see , here i am in greece , in the final throes of my illness , and my salvation is half a world away . what to do , huh ? dr. obrecht : it 's simple enough . abduct spencer , bring him back here , drain him dry , and let us get on with our lives ! nikolas : good luck with that . jerry : i agree with the prince . now that he 's healthy , he presents a real challenge . you two should be careful . faison : us ? y - you mean obrecht and i ? jerry : i did n't pay nearly $ 90 million for the pleasure of your company . if you could n't find me the cure , now you need to expedite it . robin : that 's not gon na work . you ca n't trust faison and obrecht . jerry : well , if i ca n't trust them , i know i can trust you . maxie : it hurts so much to be the one left behind when you know you 'll need someone that you 'll never see again . why do i keep doing things that make me lose my best friends ? first robin , now lulu . mac : [ sighs ] maxie , do n't talk like that . maxie : i mean , the explosion happened because my bag had got caught on that valve thingy in the lab , and i was so caught up in myself , in my own problems , that i could n't take the five seconds i needed to unhook my bag instead of just yanking it . five seconds . that 's all it took to cause that lab explosion . and now robin is dead because of me . mac : it was an accident . there 's no way you could have known . maxie : and now it 's happening again . lulu 's not dead , thank god . but i will be dead to her when i take this baby away . lulu : you and maxie are in no way prepared to take care of a baby . you 're not even together . what about ellie ? where will she live ? you live in your office . spinelli : look , it 's true . we have n't discussed logistics . but we 'll do whatever we need to do -- lulu : dante and i are prepared . we have had nine months to prepare for this little baby -- nine months of bonding and falling in love with her and listening to maxie tell us what great parents we 're gon na be . and we are . look at connie . she 's healthy , and she 's happy . [ voice breaking ] dante and i are doing a damn good job . spinelli : i know you are . lulu : so why ca n't things just stay the way they are ? why ca n't connie just stay with us ? spinelli : because it ca n't work . lulu : you said that it could . you said that at the baptism . spinelli : i was naive . i - i was naive to think that i could keep the secret that this ... this beautiful child is actually mine and maxie 's . but now -- now that it 's out in the open , now that i know ... that i 'm a father ... i ache for her . i - i want to hold her . i want to be with her . i want to be the father that i know that i am . lulu : people give up their children for adoption all the time . spinelli : lulu ... i 'm sorry . i would never want to hurt you . i wish i could take your pain away . but i 'm not gon na give up my child . lulu : then what are we supposed to do ? [ baby fusses ] lulu : dante and i are just supposed to suck it up ? we 're supposed to give up this miracle that we waited nine months for ? spinelli : no , no , no . uh ... y - you can have another ... baby . lulu : i ca n't carry a child , spinelli . spinelli : i - i 'm aware . but ellie told me that you had three viable embryos as a result of the in vitro fertilization process you did with dr. westbourne . obviously maxie used one and miscarried , but there are still other viable embryos in the lab . perhaps you can find another surrogate and start again . lulu : you make that sound like it 's easy . like a mother ... gets another goldfish to replace the one that died . do you think that we can replace this baby with another one , that we can trade in our little connie falconeri for a new model ? she is our daughter . i love her . and so does dante . we 've had nine long months to -- to bond with her , to fall in love with her . spinelli : i 'm so sorry , lulu . i would -- i would not have done that to you . lulu : everything that we 've been through ... all of the appointments , the sonograms , the classes ... even shopping for baby clothes , baby furniture -- do you know how hard it is to pick out a car seat ? i was there when she was born . i was -- i was the first person to hold her . and for weeks now , dante and i have been taking care of her . we 've been watching her growing and blossoming and learning every day . she recognizes my voice . spinelli , she -- she smiles when she looks up at me and dante . she batted at her mobile for the first time yesterday , and we fell apart with happiness . we want this baby . we love this one . she 's ours . faison : obrecht and i , uh , we ca n't go to port charles . i mean , are you out of your mind ? jerry : no , i 'm not . i 'm sorry . that is your department , you see . what i am is too ill to travel , so you and obrecht are gon na be my eyes and ears . faison : no , because i do n't take orders from you . jerry : oh , yes , you do , otherwise i 'm gon na go to the authorities and tell them that two international criminals are currently visiting cassadine island . nikolas : do n't sell yourself short there , jerry . i 'm sure the wsb would be interested in your whereabouts right now . jerry : well , i 'm very happy to stay completely deceased , so thank you very much . if you 're looking for reinforcements , rest assured the guards are completely loyal to me . now , where were we ? ah , yes . the cure . now , rather than bringing luke spencer back , robin -- yes , robin there -- is gon na synthesize the medication on site . robin : on site . you mean , in port charles . jerry : that 's right , darling . your dreams are coming true . you are going home . emma : i do n't want mommy to be sad . patrick : oh , neither do i , babe . but you know what ? before mommy died , she left me a message . she said that she wanted me to find somebody to love that is going to love you like you were her own ... to make a family together . and that 's what i found in sabrina . so i think mommy would actually be really happy for us . sabrina : hey , emma ? you know how much i love you , right ? and i want to be a part of your family . so this marriage has to be okay with you , too . is it okay with you ? emma : do you really think mommy will be okay ? patrick : yes , i do . emma : in that case , it 's okay with me . sabrina : [ laughs ] yay ! emma : [ giggles ] sabrina : oh . patrick : hey , where 's mine ? emma : [ giggles ] ah , thank you . robin : you 're really gon na let me go home ? jerry : yes , i am . under the supervision of faison and obrecht and the support of dr. westbourne and nikolas . the baby goes for free . dr. obrecht : how do expect us to assure their cooperation ? jerry : well , i believe that i said that robert scorpio and anna devane 's lives were at stake . dr. obrecht : yes , the scarecrow and the tiresome ex - husband . why would i care ? faison : [ speaking danish ] you have my full cooperation to save anna . jerry : i thought you would . so it 's settled , yes ? robin : yes , i will go home , and i will continue working on your cure . jerry : wonderful . but , um ... there 's a catch . no one in port charles should know that you 're alive . spinelli : i - i 'm sorry . i did n't -i did n't mean to be insensitive about you and dante having another baby . i know ... i know another baby can not just replace this -- lulu : yeah , of course they ca n't . so listen to me , spinelli . spinelli : but none of that changes the fact ... that she 's ours ... maxie 's and mine . no matter how bonded you are to her , no matter the circumstances that brought her into your care , she 's ours . t - those -- those milestones that you were describing , those are things that maxie and i should be celebrating with her because she 's ... she 's our baby , lulu . lulu : well , you ca n't have her . spinelli : well , i guess there 's nothing more to say ... except see you in court . mac : look , it 's true you made some pretty serious mistakes with lulu . but it is not true that robin 's death was in any way your fault . it was a horrible accident . robin would n't want you blaming yourself for it . maxie : i just miss her so much . i would give anything just to have her back for a minute . okay , 10 minutes . long enough to help me sort out my life . robin was the best at giving advice . mac : yeah , well , robin was the best at a lot of things . we just have to accept the fact that she 's gone . nothing can bring her back . robert : you found anything ? anna : no . nothing . i ca n't get into this panel . there is no way to open this door . what about you ? robert : you checked this ? anna : no . what is it ? robert : maybe it 's something we can use . robin : this is dr. robin scorpio - drake continuing my attempt to create another dose of the remedy for polonium-210 poisoning . anna : it 's robin 's voice . that 's robin . robert : look at the date of entry on this . it 's today . anna : she was here ... today ? i knew it in my heart , but now this proves she 's alive . she 's alive . robert : i swear to you ... we 're gon na get out of here , and we 're gon na find her . robin : you expect me to go to port charles and not see my husband or my child ? jerry : well , that 's if you want your parents to survive . was n't i clear ? they 're my hostages ! robin : so now you 're being consistent . jerry : love and fear are powerful motivators . let me restate the terms . if i see a boat or a plane that i do n't recognize , one parent dies , quickly followed by the other . now , if you find me the cure , robert and anna go free , and you can return to your bloody family . robin : i 'm gon na be so close , and i ca n't even tell my husband or my little girl that i 'm alive . jerry : keep your end of the bargain . cure me , and you can have a wonderful , happy family reunion . patrick : do you have any other questions , hmm ? emma : is there gon na be wedding cake ? sabrina : uh , of course . emma : can it be chocolate ? sabrina : oh , it can be anything you want . emma : yay ! we 're getting married ! sabrina : [ laughs ] jerry : oh , by the way , uh , the same rules apply to you , too . you do n't say anything about robin or faison or obrecht or me . if you do ... dr. obrecht : we will know . jerry : exactly . now , everyone prepare to depart . nikolas : do what he says . jerry : wise choice . can i rely equally on you to be wise ? robin : i will do what you ask . please , can i see my mother and father before i leave ? jerry : you 've already seen them . as for a visit , you can have one when you cure me . now , are we all in agreement ? yes ? let 's go to port charles .
back at port charles , maxie and spinelli are determined to raise baby connie and exercise their legal right as her biological parents . lulu urges spinelli not to go through with getting a court order and realize that maxie lied to everyone . she believes that she and dante will make better parents than spinelli and maxie , who are n't even together . spinelli insists that he ca n't turn his back on his child . just as determined to keep little connie , lulu says she 'll see him in court .
elizabeth : good morning , jake . jason : thank you . elizabeth : how do you like your new accommodations ? jason : well , less of machines and monitors is good . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jason : wish i could open that window , though . elizabeth : oh , yeah . sorry about that . will you settle for breakfast in bed ? jason : you do n't really need to wait on me . is n't that somebody else 's job ? elizabeth : well , i saw an orderly with your tray , and i decided to liberate it so i could see how you were feeling after your move . jason : i feel fine . elizabeth : fine ? how did i know you were gon na say that ? sure you 're not experiencing any discomfort ? jason : nothing i ca n't handle . [ clears throat ] elizabeth : jake , that 's the whole idea behind pain meds -- to help manage your pain . jason : yeah . see , i ca n't remember who i am . i do n't really need to add being groggy on top of it . i need to be able to think . elizabeth : okay . is there anything in particular that you 're thinking about ? jason : um ... that woman who came to visit me yesterday ... elizabeth : mm - hmm ? jason : ... the one who hit me -- elizabeth : jordan ashford ? jason : mm - hmm . elizabeth : is it still bothering you that you ca n't remember her voice from the night of the accident ? jason : no . after you left , i remember hearing her . elizabeth : great . mystery solved . eat your breakfast . jason : no , no . you do n't understand . it was n't only jordan 's voice that i heard . there were two voices . kiki : hey . morgan : hey . kiki : how 's my mom doing ? morgan : she 's , uh -- she 's doing all right . your dad 's up there with her . he 's giving her another shot . kiki : is it working ? morgan : yeah . i mean , apparently , he stopped the baby from coming early , so i think the worst is over . kiki : oh , okay . good . thank god . morgan : yeah . she got a few pieces of toast down this morning . she got a whole night 's sleep , so ... kiki : at least one of us did . morgan : yeah , i know . i 've been up and down all night , worrying about ava . but why did n't you sleep ? kiki : because of michael . michael : commissioner devane ? anna : hmm ? oh , good morning , michael . michael : i 'm really sorry to interrupt your breakfast , but did you get my messages i left you last night ? anna : mm - hmm . i did , yeah . michael : that 's why i had to track you down . i need to talk to you about my father 's murder . lulu : oh . come on , rocco . you love this cereal . oh . you want the cereal ? you know you crave this cereal . these are not the droids you 're looking for . olivia : this is so nice that we can all have breakfast together like a family . dante : yeah . it 'd be a lot nicer if my son would eat his breakfast . lulu : mm . he 's not usually this fussy . sonny : can i just try once ? lulu : be my guest . dante : what are you gon na do ? sonny : i 'm gon na make him an offer he ca n't refuse . dante : for real ? mafia jokes ? sonny : [ laughs ] olivia : stop the presses . sonny : you ready ? if you eat this , you 're gon na grow big and strong and i 'm gon na let you box at my gym . what do you say ? one little bite . one little bite . come on . ohhhhhh ! i told you . lulu : [ laughs ] listen , sonny , i know things have been awkward between us because of my father -- that he 's supposedly been working with the jeromes against you . sorry . olivia : what the hell ? ned : `` who was spotted canoodling with aunt by marriage and former flame monica quartermaine at the metro court ? why , none other than ned ashton . looks like the ever - single heir is now squiring a woman old enough to be his mother `` ? i 'm not squiring anybody ! `` if this pair is on again , one can only imagine that alan quartermaine is spinning in his grave . `` where the hell did they get this ? julian : from me . alexis : hey , i got this guy . hello . is n't that g.i . joe ? does n't g.i . joe stand for truth ? huh . ironic . grandpa julian does n't . doop , doop , doop - da - doo [ clicks tongue ] [ gasps ] look who 's here ! look who 's here ! sam : hey , danny ! alexis : yay ! patrick : hey , buddy . sam : mommy 's home ! alexis : let 's go see mommy . sam : [ laughing ] hi . alexis : come here . come here . doo - doo doo - doo doo - doo doo - doo doo - doo sam : oh , i missed you ! olivia : who wrote this garbage ? sonny : okay , here 's the thing -- i 'm very concerned , but luke is an old friend of mine , and i 'm not gon na rush to judgment . i 'm just gon na keep an open mind . dante : that 's good , because we do n't anything until tracy gets back . tracy : i am back . morgan : wait . michael thinks ava killed aj ? kiki : michael is convinced that she got carlos to take the fall for her . morgan : okay . well , what did you say to him when he told you that ? kiki : i told him to consider the source -- that carlos is probably guilty and was just trying to save face for his freedom . morgan : yeah . okay . that 's -- that 's a good thing . kiki : right , but it 's not like i can tell him the truth -- that my mom did n't kill aj and that sonny did . anna : well , michael , your father 's murder case was closed six months ago . carlos rivera admitted to shooting him . michael : yes , i know . anna : and all the evidence we have supports that confession . michael : yes , i know that , too , but now carlos rivera is saying otherwise . ned : jerome . julian : hey , ted . ned : you honestly think mispronouncing a single - syllable name is the pinnacle of wit ? by the way , how the hell did you get in here ? julian : i , uh , sweet - talked the help . ned : did you also happen to employ the use of a firearm ? julian : oh , that was hardly necessary . i 'm sure you 'll find i can be more than persuasive when i want to be . for instance , um ... what did you think of my article today ? ned : if you 're referring to the allegation that i 'm sleeping with monica quartermaine , it 's totally untrue . julian : well , if you would have bothered to read the article , you would have seen there was no mention of you sleeping together , although , to be fair , i 'm a little unsure of what the dictionary definition is of `` canoodling . `` ned : monica and i ran in to each other at the restaurant . pure coincidence . there 's nothing going on between us . julian : touchy , touchy . but i really do n't care what you say is going on . as per newspaper policy , i have two sources who say otherwise . ned : do those sources happen to be on your payroll ? julian : hmm . you know , i would n't scoff at the fourth estate , ned , considering you 're gon na be the focus of an ongoing series . ned : ha ! ongoing series ? julian : mm - hmm . yeah . today you 're having an affair . tomorrow you 're gon na be a drug addict , and , well , friday , who knows , right ? i mean , maybe you 'll be ned the pedophile . ned : because there 's no level to which you wo n't sink . julian : yeah . of course , you know , these stories -- they never have to see the light of day . all you have to do is stop seeing alexis . sam : i know that you already have a lot of new toys , but i thought you could use a new one . so , guess what i got you . voilà ! alexis : wow ! sam : all the way from amsterdam ! do you like it ? i 'll take that as a `` yes . `` alexis : yes . sam : there you go . go play with it with the other ones . patrick : he 's a man of few words . sam : yeah , just like his father . alexis : okay . so , how was amsterdam ? did you get confirmation that luke is julian 's boss ? lulu : tracy , i am so glad to see you . tracy : i am so glad to see you . dante : how did it go in amsterdam ? lulu : did you meet with my dad ? tracy : no . he did n't show up . lulu : oh , no . so , the whole trip was a bust ? tracy : far from it . i learned that luke is completely innocent of the allegations . lulu : you 're sure ? tracy : absolutely . it was a frame - up by jerry jacks . jason : i heard two voices talking to each other . elizabeth : maybe it was the police or the paramedics . do you know what they were saying ? jason : i do n't know . i ca n't remember . elizabeth : okay . well , try not to think about it for a while . if it 's important , it 'll come back to you when you least expect it . jason : you 're probably right . elizabeth : i 'm always right . jason : oh , really ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . jason : huh . elizabeth : except when i 'm tragically wrong . here . eat your breakfast . maybe some food will help jog your memory . [ gasps ] jason : ooh , wow . elizabeth : yay ! jason : so , what you 're trying to tell me is i 've got to remember something right now -- otherwise , you 're gon na make me eat this until i do ? elizabeth : okay . i know it looks less than appetizing . truth is g.h . 's food has never been much to write home about , and our new chief of staff has managed to somehow make it worse . jason : trying to cut costs ? elizabeth : actually claims it 's for the benefit of the patients . jason : hmm . elizabeth : yeah . meet nutrigruel , patent pending -- all the meal 's nutrients in one efficient little package . i 'm pretty sure it 's the chief 's secret recipe . jason : i do n't think i like this woman . elizabeth : get in line . jason : clearly , you do n't , either . elizabeth : to say that i despise liesl obrecht with every fiber of my existence would be the understatement of the century . dr. obrecht : did someone mention my name ? elizabeth : dr. obrecht . we did n't hear you come in . dr. obrecht : please , nurse webber . spare the minnie mouse apology for someone your pathetic barbs will actually sting . elizabeth : funny . i do n't remember apologizing . dr. obrecht : stocke und steine and all that . besides , we must not bicker in front of our patient . jason : oh , no . please do n't stop on my account . dr. obrecht : liesl obrecht , chief of staff of general hospital . and you must be john doe -- the one i 've heard so much about . elizabeth : actually , we think his first name is jake . dr. obrecht : jake ? and you 're sure you do n't want to try something else ? elizabeth : what 's wrong with `` jake `` ? dr. obrecht : nothing , if you were a mongrel found in an alley . jason : well [ clears throat ] i was found in the middle of route 31 , so you 're not far off . dr. obrecht : well , if that 's what you want to call yourself , who am i to argue ? now on to the next order of business . we 've established you have no identification , but do you have insurance ? ned : you 're gon na smear my reputation if i do n't stop seeing alexis ? julian : yeah , that 's about the size of it , although , truth be told , it might not be enough for you to just stop seeing her . ned : you want me to stop listening to her , too ? julian : here 's the thing -- you and alexis live fairly close to each other , and , as you so kindly pointed out , it is possible for people to run in to each other . ned : so , what are you saying ? julian : if you 're serious about preserving your reputation , you 'll get the hell out of port charles . alexis : jerry 's involved ? what about the polonium poisoning ? sam : cured . patrick : yeah . seems perfectly healthy . alexis : swell . i bet his family 's very relieved . patrick : right . alexis : what was jerry doing at a meeting that tracy set up for luke ? sam : well , jerry claims that he was holding luke captive . alexis : captive ? i thought all the evidence pointed right to luke . patrick : well , jerry said that he manufactured that evidence . he had luke 's phone , and he was using it to make luke look guilty . alexis : so , all this time , it 's jerry that 's been working with julian , not luke ? sam : well , i mean , that was certainly the implication . patrick : i do n't believe a word of it , but tracy does . tracy : jerry jacks explained it . olivia : now , tracy , why would you believe a word that man said ? tracy : ordinarily , i would n't , but it all added up . his mafia ties go back years , maybe even decades . sonny : yeah , that 's true . jerry has been in bed with several families . lulu : tracy , i want to believe everything you 're saying . tracy : what 's stopping you ? lulu : there is one more thing we need to know . where is my father ? morgan : look , i want to believe ava more than anyone , obviously , but , you know , we only have her word that sonny killed aj , and she 's not exactly a pillar of honesty . kiki : you think that my mom killed aj ? morgan : we went over this . we went over this . look , my dad said he did something terrible , something he regrets , and that ava was holding over his head , so , yes , at first , i thought that sonny killed aj , but now i do n't know . kiki : why -- just because michael suspects her ? morgan : well , i mean , think about it . if ava 's the killer , then would n't she throw the suspicion on to somebody else , especially someone she hates as much as my dad ? kiki : okay . i know that my mom is not an angel , okay ? but i do believe her on this one . her story makes sense . why else would sonny have locked her in his house ? morgan : yeah , that 's -- that 's true . you did n't tell michael any of this , did you ? kiki : no . of course i did n't , because the last thing he needs to know is that his father killed the other father . morgan : how was he when you left him ? kiki : he 's michael corinthos . he is hell - bent on finding out the truth and getting justice for aj . morgan : sounds like my brother . kiki : he 's not gon na stop , morgan . he 's looking for commissioner devane . as we speak , he 's probably telling her his theory . michael : i talked to sabrina santiago . apparently , she and carlos used to be engaged back in -- anna : yeah , no . i 'm well aware of their personal history . what does she have to do with your father 's murder ? michael : okay . sabrina told me that she went to visit carlos in pentonville . he told her that he did n't kill aj . apparently , he was pressured into a confession . anna : what do you mean , `` pressured `` ? michael : he was more like threatened . anna : threatened by who ? michael : ava jerome . elizabeth : insurance ? are you joking ? dr. obrecht : yes , nurse webber . i am developing a stand - up routine on the theme of healthcare costs . do you think it 's ready to take on the road ? elizabeth : you just said he does n't have an id . he came in here with no wallet , no credit cards , no license , nothing . he does n't even know who he is . dr. obrecht : so , that 's a no ? jason : as far as i know , i could have amazing insurance . dr. obrecht : or you could be some sort of societal parasite -- a vagrant , perhaps , or a freelance musician . elizabeth : that does n't mean you can just throw him out on the street . dr. obrecht : herr doe , do you have any idea how much you 've cost this hospital so far ? cts , mris , trauma surgery , plastic surgery -- the list goes on and on . elizabeth : dr. obrecht , what happened to `` every patient , no matter their financial situation , deserves care `` ? dr. obrecht : indeed they do , and general hospital is happy to provide it . but , in the case of herr doe , this hospital has more than provided . now that he 's well on his way to recovery , i wo n't allow him to stay in this bed getting soft and flabby . elizabeth : i do n't think that 's gon na be a problem . dr. obrecht : this hospital 's mission is to whip its patients into shape so they can be returned to the world as strong , contributing members of society . jason : great . so , i can leave . elizabeth : what ? ! no ! you ca n't leave ! jason : i do n't know until i try . elizabeth : you ca n't even stand . no , listen . stop . do n't , okay ? dr. obrecht , how do you think the board would feel about you threatening to evict a patient who ca n't even walk ? dr. obrecht : i was merely encouraging him to hasten his recovery . what are you waiting for , herr doe ? eat your nutrigruel . you should mind your insolent mouth , nurse webber . i fired you once , and i 'd be more than happy to do it again . elizabeth : then who would i turn to ? if only i had a friend who lived in a castle on an island whose shoulder i could cry on . dr. obrecht : fortunately for you , this hospital still has its `` three strikes `` policy . this is merely your first . elizabeth : mm . [ sighs ] jason : is she always that hard on you ? elizabeth : oh , that was a little worse than usual . nothing compares to the day she shot me . kiki : if michael does tell the commissioner his story , do you think it 's enough to reopen the investigation ? morgan : i do n't know . i do n't know . but if she does , i mean , the first thing she 's gon na do is talk to rivera . kiki : [ sighs ] do you think that he 'll say anything to her ? morgan : maybe . you know , maybe . but -- but , you know , maybe he 's had enough of the prison life and wants out and he 'll point the commissioner towards the truth and then she 'll find out that carlos is innocent and ava 's innocent . kiki : and that sonny is guilty , and if she goes to michael with that fact , it 'll destroy him . anna : so , carlos is recanting his confession and claiming that ava killed aj ? michael : yes . anna : well , does he have any proof of her involvement ? michael : not that i 'm aware , but carlos did say that ava wanted my father dead . anna : why ? why would she want him out of the way ? does sabrina have any idea ? michael : no . anna : michael , i mean , you 're not giving me anything here . michael : i know i do n't have any answers , but i was hoping these questions would be enough to reopen the investigation . anna : oh , i -- look , i understand you wanting to make sure that the person who killed your father is punished and doing whatever it takes to make certain that this happens . michael : yeah . would n't you in my position ? anna : of course . but i questioned carlos thoroughly around the time of his confession . i mean , he insisted that he was guilty . michael : yes . that 's because he was taking the fall for ava . anna : ava has an alibi for the night of your father 's murder . michael : yes . we both know alibis can be faked . anna : yeah . but in order for me to reopen this investiga -- michael : no `` buts , `` please . my father 's killer could still be out there , getting away with it . sonny : so , jerry jacks is holding luke hostage ? lulu : we have to find a way to get him back . tracy : i am already doing everything i possibly can to get him back . dante : why does jerry even have luke ? what could he possibly want with him ? tracy : the last time jerry jacks disappeared from port charles , he was dying from polonium poisoning . sonny : too bad it did n't finish him off . tracy : it almost did . and then he managed to nab luke and , from his blood , reverse - engineer a cure , so now jerry is right as rain . he 's promised to give back luke for a price . lulu : all of this because he wants money ? tracy : no . mr. jacks wants elq . patrick : tracy is prepared to give up all her stake in elq to get luke back . alexis : and you think jerry 's playing her ? sam : there are too many unanswered questions . even if jerry is masterminding the operation , it does n't mean that he knows everything . patrick : yeah , like spencer cassadine . sam : yeah . i mean , spencer said that he heard luke in the stables , not jerry . alexis : turns out that sam talked to tracy quartermaine , and tracy said that you and luke had your heads together in wyndemere stables the night of nikolas ' engagement party . julian : just because tracy may or may not have seen me -- alexis : stop ! stop lying . you swore on everything that was holy to you that luke was not your boss . julian : he is not . you have to believe me . alexis : no , i do n't have to believe you . i believed you when you said you were no longer in the business . you were lying then . you are lying now . i ... am ... done . sam : mom , what are you thinking ? alexis : i 'm thinking that i should probably try to get some information from julian again , but why bother , right ? because all he does is lie to me . sam : well , tracy is the one that says that she saw luke and julian in the stables that night . alexis : speaking of tracy , i need to let ned know that she 's about to let jerry inside elq . right ? he has every right to know that the proverbial fox is back in the henhouse . ned : you want me to leave port charles so you can have a clear shot at alexis ? julian : no time like the present . ned : i 'm not going anywhere . my family 's lived in this town for generations ! julian : oh , come on , ned . it 's not as though you had any problem leaving them before . i mean , do n't you have a little pop - star daughter out there somewhere ? i mean , i 'm sure she 'd benefit from your guidance as a manager . ned : brook lynn already has a manager , and i have my own company to run , so i 'm gon na be staying right here . julian : well , you act as if as though you have a choice in the matter , 'cause you do n't . ned : maybe you 're not aware , julian , but we ashtons are a tough lot . so , if you want to intimidate me , it 's gon na take more than just a few insults in your newspaper for which , by the way , i am more than happy to sue your ass . julian : well , lawsuits -- you know , they take so many years and very difficult to prove . ned : i 'm actually surprised you 're resorting to libel . here i thought you were a big - time mobster . julian : allegedly . ned : so , come on . where are the cement shoes , the fish wrapped in newspaper , the tommy gun hidden in the violin case ? julian : contrary to your outdated notion of mafia culture , i 'm more than happy to handle this with my bare hands . ned : oh . so , you want to step outside ? julian : i will if you will . alexis : hey , ned ? ! hey , it 's alexis ! i 'm sorry to barge in here like this . it 's just -- what the hell ? ! stop ! stop ! stop it ! what the hell is wrong with the two of you ? ! ned : [ breathing heavily ] hey . tracy : i 'm more than willing to give up my shares . the problem is i only own 9 % of the company . sonny : knowing jerry , that 's not even going to come close . tracy : no . i have told him that i will scrounge up more , but i 'm not sure how much more i 'm gon na be able to get . lulu : well , what can we do ? tracy : you and dante can talk to your family -- specifically , michael . dante : look , last i heard , michael and luke were n't on the best of terms . i 'm not sure i 'm the guy who 's gon na be able to persuade him . tracy : try . michael owns 25.5 % . he became the majority shareholder when somebody killed aj last spring . anna : all right . here 's what i 'm gon na do , michael . i will -- i will talk to sabrina . and if the situation warrants it , i will go to pentonville and reinterview carlos , all right ? michael : okay . what about ava ? kiki heard from julian that she went missing . for all we know , she skipped town . anna : yes , i am aware ava has dropped out of sight . i have someone on that . that 's all i can do right now , michael , all right ? michael : all right . well , i 'm not letting this go . my father deserves justice . anna : talk to sabrina santiago . jason : chief of staff , that dr. obrecht -- she shot you ? elizabeth : yes . jason : what did you do ? did you come in really late or use too many gauzes ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] actually , she held me hostage in my own house . she needed a place to hide because she 'd just kidnapped one of my friend 's babies . and when the police were apprehending her , the gun she was holding on me went off . jason : how is this woman not in prison ? elizabeth : that 's the billion - dollar question . i guess when it comes to the law , dr. obrecht has more lives than a cat . jason : and how did she get to become a chief of staff at a hospital ? elizabeth : oh , that 's easy . she made a huge contribution to the hospital 's financial endowment . you know what they say -- money talks . jason : well , what about the `` first , do no harm `` thing ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] please . that whole babynapping and hostage - taking and gun - play thing was just the tip of the iceberg . when dr. obrecht came to port charles , she was the right - hand woman for an international terrorist named cesar faison . jason : and who is he ? elizabeth : cesar faison ? he killed jake 's father . sam : [ chuckles ] danny 's really taken with you . patrick : that 's because i 'm the best first mate on the high seas . right , buddy ? right ? sam : so , listen -- as far as our investigation goes , what would you like me to do next ? patrick : well , there 's a possibility that luke is gon na return , if tracy plays ball with jerry . sam : if ? that 's a big `` if . `` patrick : anyway , believe me , sam , i feel like everything we 're doing -- i just feel like my hands are tied . sam : well , you know , sometimes cases go -- they go cold and then you get a lead and then you 're back in business again . patrick : thank you for saying that , and thank you for ... well , actually , i ca n't really thank you for everything that you 've done for me . sam : are you kidding me ? i 'm -- i 'm your friend . that 's what friends do . they do things for each other . patrick : yeah , but friends do n't travel overseas to help with investigations . sam : oh , no . they do when their friends are paying for their first - class tickets . patrick : yeah ? what about staying in a crappy hotel in amsterdam ? sam : oh , the water pressure was fine . patrick : mm - hmm . sam : yeah . patrick : sharing a bed ? sam : not a big deal . patrick : thank you . well , i should get out of your hair . bye , danny . danny : daddy ! no , wait ! patrick : [ chuckles ] sam : danny , let go of patrick . that 's your uncle patrick . he 's not your daddy . remember ? here 's your daddy . your daddy 's right here . he 's in heaven . remember ? yeah ? do you want to sit down and look at him for a little bit ? here you go . you play with your toys and you look at your daddy . i am so sorry . patrick : no , no . do n't worry about it . sam : i guess i remember so much about jason that danny does n't . i mean , he was just a baby when jason was shot , and now look at him . he 's a little boy . elizabeth : jason had a business associate named bernie who was in trouble , so jason went down to pier 54 and found bernie shot . he tried to help him , but faison shot jason . jason : some type of ambush ? elizabeth : i mean , we 'll really never know all the details . most of what we do know is from faison bragging about it . he said that he had , um -- he shot jason in the back and then kicked him in the water . jason : so , he 's not only a murderer , he 's a coward . elizabeth : jason was really strong . i believe he was still alive when he went into the water . i have nightmares about it -- about him being helpless and bleeding and the water closing in over his head . jason : i 'm sorry . elizabeth : thanks . i 've accepted the fact that it 's never going to get easier , no matter how much time passes . jason : how long has it been ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] two years ago ... today . sam : two years does n't seem like a long time for you and me , but for danny , that 's his whole life . i mean , he never got to know jason , and he never will . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : would one of you kindly explain why this place has turned into the thunderdome ? it 's not even thanksgiving . ned : your mafioso ex - boyfriend showed up and tried to strong - arm me into leaving town . by the way , did you hear i 'm sleeping with monica ? alexis : no . that would be considered news . ned : coincidentally , so did julian -- so much so that he decided to print it in his newspaper . yeah . he figured if he could smear my name in print , that i would leave town . alexis : julian ... a word . julian : [ sighs ] ned : alexis , wait ! what did you want to tell me about my mother ? ! tracy : oh , never mind alexis . i 'll tell you myself . dante : are you okay ? lulu : yeah . i 'm just trying to wrap my head around what tracy just told us . if jerry is holding my dad in exchange for elq , that explains a lot . dante : well , a lot but not everything . spencer said he overheard luke plotting against sonny , not jerry . sonny : can i say something ? um , i walked in on -- on spencer and luke . they were talking about something . lulu : wait . what do you mean ? sonny : well , spencer 's been trying to get ahold of me . i never called him back . then i went to the quartermaines , and he was with luke . spencer got real quiet . lulu : spencer got quiet ? sonny : yeah . dante : when was this ? sonny : aj 's funeral . um , i went there 'cause michael asked me to . morgan : do you think there 's any chance that mikey will just , you know , let this go ? kiki : we 're talking about michael , and it 's about aj , so no . morgan : not that i blame him . i think he 's right to want to know the truth about what happened to aj . kiki : of course he should want to bring his father 's killer to justice , but , unfortunately , he thinks that that is my mom , and as soon as he 's done talking to the commissioner , he 's going to try to find her . morgan : oh , wow . well , you know , he 'll never find her here , because , you know , it 's not like his girlfriend lives here . why would he ever come here ? we 're screwed , kiki . kiki : i 'm gon na have to lie to michael 's face again . i do n't know how much more of this i can take . i 've actually lost track of how many secrets we 're keeping from him . i 'm having trouble even looking him in the eye . michael . hi . anna : you owe me a scone . dr. obrecht : i want to know everything you said to my son about victor cassadine 's death . anna : nothing . dr. obrecht : a blatant lie . anna : while i am sympathetic to detective west to have the misfortune to be related to you , i have n't yet had the opportunity -- dr. obrecht : misfortune ? ! my son would have died in that clinic due to your incompetence had i not led the charge to rescue him . anna : as i was saying , i have n't yet had the opportunity to discuss with detective west how you murdered his father . dr. obrecht : ignorant sow . anna : do n't call me that . dr. obrecht : as usual , you do n't know the first thing about the situation . i most certainly did not murder nathan 's father . anna : correct me if i 'm wrong , but we do inhabit the same universe , huh ? i mean , even you can not deny what happened . dr. obrecht : i most certainly can . i deny it . see ? easy as zwiebelkuchen . anna : i saw you shoot victor cassadine . i saw it . dr. obrecht : yes , i shot victor , but i did not murder him . i acted in self- defense . anna : [ laughing ] he was handcuffed . he was unarmed . dr. obrecht : unarmed ? ! the man had a detonator in his possession . or do you not recall that the clinic went `` kaboom `` mere seconds after our escape ? victor was a dangerous man . anna : i agree . yes , he was . but it still was n't self - defense . got it ? dr. obrecht : fine . perhaps i was not defending my own self . anna : oh . whose self were you defending ? detective west , perhaps ? dr. obrecht : victor would have come after nathan sooner or later . i had no choice but to kill him . otherwise , he would have hurt my son . and , really , you 're in no position to talk or judge -- not after what you did to cesar . anna : ohh . sam : i am so sorry . patrick : for what ? missing your husband ? sam , if anybody knows what it 's like to miss someone you love , it 's me . sam : yeah , but even so ... you get to see your badass p.i . weeping and crying all the time , and after two years , it just -- i feel like it should n't affect me like this . patrick : two years is nothing when you lose somebody that you love as much as you love jason . sam : yeah , i know , but i think -- i think that 's part of the problem . i mean , i just took -- i took my wedding ring off . but , for some reason , i feel like i did n't have closure . maybe -- maybe it 's because i never actually got to say goodbye . jason : i wish i had something better to say than , `` i 'm sorry . `` elizabeth : it 's okay . i appreciate you listening . jason : i ca n't imagine losing someone like that ... maybe because i ca n't imagine having them in the first place . elizabeth : well , i hope you never find out what it 's like . we could n't even give him a proper funeral . jason : why not ? elizabeth : they dragged the harbor for days ... but they never found jason 's body . ned : mother , what are you doing here ? you know you 're no longer welcome . tracy : i realize that i am persona non grata in casa monica , but ... i have to impose on your good nature . ned : if this is some kind of act , it 's not gon na work . tracy : it 's not an act . i need your help , ned , please . alexis : what is the matter with you ? why would you do that to ned ? why would you go after him ? ca n't you take no for an answer ? julian : no , alexis . i ca n't -- not when it comes to you . olivia : well , this is just great . dante : what is ? olivia : everything , dante . we do n't know anything about luke . now we got jerry jacks in the mix , not to mention heather webber . lulu : heather webber ? do n't tell me she 's on the loose again . dante : no . no . if she was , i would know about it . olivia : okay , maybe not on the loose yet , but i had a vision of her last night running around free . dante : oh , ma . look , not that we doubt your , uh , abilities or anything -- olivia : okay , my visions are n't always exactly on the nose , but they do have a habit of coming through one way or another . dante : i 'll give you that . you do have a pretty impressive track record . olivia : dante , i - i understand that heather 's supposed to be locked up tight , but could you just go check on her ? it would really -- it would put my mind at ease if you could just go and make sure . michael : hey . what 's up ? morgan : oh , we 're just waiting for the morning coffee to kick in . what 's up with you ? kiki : did you talk to anna ? michael : yeah . i met her at the metro court . she , uh -- she agreed to look into this new information . kiki : about my mother ? morgan : kiki brought me up to speed . just when you thought you could put it to bed , right ? michael : look , i 'm sorry . i know this puts you in a difficult position -- both of you . but this is my father 's murder we 're talking about here . if anna does n't find ava , i will . [ next_on ] alexis : ( to julian ) have you had any dealings with jerry jax ? tracy : ned , please . you have got to help me ! elizabeth : ( to jason ) you 're not jason . lulu : ( to carly ) franco made all the arrangements . did you not know that ? sonny : ( to shawn ) somethin 's not right . heather : ( to franco ) you 're still planning revenge against carly .
kiki tells morgan that michael thinks ava forced carlos to take the fall for aj 's murder . she and morgan know that sonny is really aj 's murderer . michael finds anna and tells her his concerns about ava . anna agrees to investigate further .
nikolas : we need to talk . elizabeth : well , hello to you , too . nikolas : look , i apologize for my lapse in etiquette , but there 's a problem with your fiancé . jason is looking into his past . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . hi , come in . jason : hey . thanks for doing this at your place . sam : of course . spinelli 's not inconspicuous . it would be hard to explain if elizabeth came home from work early . jason : yeah , um , so , are we making progress here ? sam : um ... jason : am i gon na be able to tell her my real name when we get married ? sam : let 's ask spinelli . spinelli : like a superhero who conceals his gift , a kryptonian who chooses not to fly -- oh , confining myself to the legitimate pathways of the internet . but let no one have any doubt . i am the assassin of the internet , hacker supreme . hm ? jason : oh , hi . spinelli : gracious greetings . [ chuckles ] uh , yes , um -- uh , forgive my distraction . i 'm in the process of vanquishing a seemingly impassible firewall as if it were a piece of tissue paper .

[ scene_break ] sonny : get me out of here , son . morgan : okay , yeah , dad . i 'm gon na grab your stuff . sonny : no , leave that all there . they 're bringing it home to me , and i just got to see some blue skies . you know , i just got to get home . let 's go . morgan : sure , sure . all right , let 's go . sonny : [ sighs ] we 're going home . milo : all right , let 's go . sonny : [ chuckles ] carly : what 's going on ? where 's morgan taking you , sonny ? sonny : i 'm going home , carly . carly : you 're not going anywhere . sonny : do not interfere . carly : you are not well enough to go home ! sonny : watch me . morgan , let 's go . carly : morgan , do not move that chair . sonny : okay , i 'm gon na move myself . carly : sonny , do n't ! morgan : dad ... sonny : watch me . carly : sonny . michael : dad , what are you doing ? morgan : stop ! dad ! dad !

[ scene_break ] lulu : thank you so much for watching rocco . laura : aww , no need to thank me . i love spending time with rocco . although , i think he 's asking me if i know how to make a cannoli . lulu : [ chuckles ] that is because he 's spending so much time with dante 's mother . she 's our backup babysitter . laura : oh , yes , i 'm sure olivia loves spending time with rocco as much as i do . [ chuckles ] and i hope that it gives her a little bit of peace . i mean , i ca n't imagine how she felt when her baby ... lulu : um , actually ... the baby is alive . [ scene_break ] olivia : you stay away from my baby . security . security . uh , yeah , this man is creating a disturbance . julian : this is really how you want to play this ? olivia : yeah , could you please escort mr. jerome from the hotel . reggie : all right , buddy . let 's go . alexis : wait , wait , wait , wait . what is going on ? olivia : exactly what it looks like is going on . julian is threatening me and my son .

[ beep ] spinelli : no again . you know , there may yet be a way to -- sam : a way to what ? spinelli : retrieve the deleted file . jason : it 's been deleted ? spinelli : yes , correct . the dna comparison between yourself and the unknown individual has been excised from the company records . jason : when ? spinelli : um ... july 9th of this year . jason : july 9th . when was the first time that we broke in to your cousin 's house ? sam : early july -- i think , uh , the 7th or the 8th . jason : and he knew we were there . sam : he confronted me . i saw him at kelly 's , and i thought covered , but obviously i did n't . spinelli : i 'm sorry , i fear i 've lost the thread of this conversation . are we still speaking of the deleted file ? jason : here 's the thread . sam and i know who deleted that file . [ scene_break ] nikolas : jake broke in to my house . he and sam downloaded everything off of my laptop -- the entire contents of the hard drive . elizabeth : and what did they find ? nikolas : [ sighs ] correspondence from a lab where i had a dna test ordered comparing jake doe to jason morgan . elizabeth : and does jake know he 's jason ? nikolas : he did n't see the results . i called the lab and had the reports destroyed in july -- the last time they trespassed in my home . elizabeth : why did n't you tell me there was a dna test ? nikolas : why would i ? you knew jake was jason the night i told you . you do n't need some lab report to convince you otherwise . elizabeth : yeah , but labs keep records . why would you even take that risk ? nikolas : because i do n't trust helena as far as i can throw her . i needed proof , and once i got it , i destroyed the reports so there 's nothing to tie jake to jason . elizabeth : except for that letter on your hard drive , which will lead him straight to the lab . nikolas : he 's not gon na find anything at the lab . elizabeth : we hope . nikolas : you know , there 's an easy way to stop this . you can just tell jason the truth . elizabeth : no , no , no . nikolas : then i -- then i suggest you get a reign on your fiancé . convince him to give up the search for his past . elizabeth : i did n't even know jake was doing this . how am i supposed to stop him from uncovering the truth or , worse , finding out that i 've been lying to him this entire time ? nikolas : i do n't know , but you better figure it out . you better -- patrick : elizabeth . what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] jason : i thought nothing was ever really deleted . does n't it exist somewhere , like , what is it called ? the cloud -- on a backup of a backup of a hard drive . or does still exist on the hard drive once you erase it ? i thought it was there . spinelli : okay , that 's true in theory , but -- jason : hey , look . can you see me right now ? i do n't have time for theories . i really do n't . so , can you rebuild this file from the lab mainframe or not ? can you do it ? yes or no ? can you do it ? spinelli : it would take months of -- of forensic analysis . jason : months ? ! look , you 're -- you 're the jackal , right ? you 're the greatest hacker that 's ever lived . you ca n't rebuild one file ? not one ? you ca n't do it ? sam : hey -- spinelli : apologies for my limitations . jason : you know what ? you know what ? apologies -- you know what i 'm sorry for ? you really want to know what i 'm sorry for ? i 'm sorry that i thought there was gon na be an end to all this and that you two could help me find some answers . clearly , i was wrong . i 'm sorry for that . sam : hey , we 're doing our best . jason : i know you 're doing your best . i do . i appreciate that , but do me a favor . just stop . do n't do anything else . knock it off . we 're done . it 's over . sam : no , it 's not over . jason : yeah . it 's over . i am not gon na live this way -- asking the same questions over and over and coming to the same ends . this is done . sam : jake , you had a life . you had a life before this . jason : i had a life . i did , and it was stolen from me . it was ripped from me by helena or nikolas or somebody else -- somebody that i ca n't get back at . so just let it -- spinelli : stolen items can often be retrieved . jason : my past is n't sitting somewhere on a mainframe that can be rebuilt by forensic analysis . we 're not gon na find it . it 's gone . it does n't belong to me anymore . let 's ... leave it . thank you .

[ chuckles ] you were strong enough to build yourself up from nothing , strong enough to run your own territory and , hell , strong enough to handle me and hold onto me . sonny : are you sure about that last one ? huh ? 'cause when we got married , i -- i thought this was temporary . it 's not . what kind of -- what kind of husband can i be to you ? what kind of life are you gon na have ? you 're an amazing woman . you deserve better than this . carly : you know what my mother said to me right before i married you ? sonny : yeah -- `` it 's not too late to change your mind . `` carly : she said i would never be happy without you . and [ chuckles ] she 's right . you 're my husband -- my husband , for better or for worse . sonny : well , we 've set a new standard for worse . carly : [ chuckles ] okay , yeah . so , we deal with it . if you fall on the ground , i 'm gon na sit there with you . and if you scream and yell , i 'm gon na scream with you .

at the metro court , julian goes to find olivia while she has their mutual baby and tells her he 's onto her and knows his son is right in front of him and she 's lied to him telling him baby leo died . she is not about to let him hold or have anything to do with their baby , which makes him angrier and demanding she lets him have his baby , making her more unwilling to remotely consider any such thing . alexis finds them there and urges julian to let her petition the courts to let him have legal rights to his child . knowing that if he does that , he 's at the mercy of the courts and not wanting to trust or have faith in that , he does not want to go that route or listen to alexis . so he attempts to have a calmer conversation with olivia reminding her that she had him falsely believing his son died . she apologizes and realizes that was cruel to him yet she tells him she has to put the baby 's safety first and can not take her chances on finding out what kind of a father he might be . yet it appears they come to an agreement to share custody of baby leo without any court battles .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i tell trevor i know he 's running the zacchara mob , 20 minutes later my warehouse is on fire -- that 's not a coincidence . kate : it 's just bizarre , sonny . trevor is part of a very elite group of powerbrokers . why would he jeopardize that to -- to run -- sorry -- a criminal enterprise ? sonny : zacchara probably did something years ago , and trevor had to clean up the mess . zacchara got crazy , and he started getting worse , so trevor got more involved in the business and he started to like it . kate : what is there to like , exactly , about danger and violence and the threat of years in prison ? sonny : money , influence , the power of life and death . he probably got , you know , really into the business , and it started to grow and grow . he started -- it was like an addiction , and he got hooked like a lot of people do . he was the man , he makes decisions on whether you live or die , he turns over profits , and you know what the -- the craziest thing is -- that he gets away with it . kate : sonny , is that -- is that why you became a criminal -- because you like to get away with it ? sonny : i have a lot of reasons and i have no reasons . i did n't finish school because i did n't want to -- i did n't want to , you know , become -- not that it 's a bad thing -- a plumber or a mechanic . i wanted to wear a suit and have more money than you could ever spend . but most important , i wanted power , because i 'd been helpless in my life , and i would rather die . kate : i understand ambition . i built my whole life around it , and i realize that there are compromises that you have to make . when you start talking about living and dying like they 're numbers on a spreadsheet , you just -- you lose me . sonny : it 's a business . sometimes you have to , you know -- the chances you pay is you die , you know , and -- and you got to take the lives of your enemies . and , you know , sometimes the -- sometimes the viol overwhelms you and you feel like drowning . and you -- sometimes you -- you lose your mind . kate : like anthony zacchara . sonny : or like me . [ scene_break ] jason : bernie says the cops are at the other warehouses . can you pull up the surveillance ? spinelli : um , stone cold , might you elaborate on what you were talking about before the bernificent one called -- namely , zacchara 's killing everyone that mr. corinthos cares about ? jason : zacchara is -- is confined to his compound . spinelli : yeah , we most earnestly hope . jason : we know that it 's getting dangerous , and i 'm a target . if you -if you want out , spinelli , now is a good time to get out . spinelli : no , the grasshopper will remain by his master 's side . i would -- i would never abandon you in your hour of need . [ knock on door ] carly : i totally blew it with lulu , i did . i ca n't believe i was so clueless and stupid . why did n't i see this coming ? spinelli : what -- see -- see what coming ? is the blond one in jeopardy ? carly : no -- well , yeah , i mean , she could be . jason : well , what happened ? carly : lulu came to me and told me that logan broke up with her , that he was being all noble and told her that he was n't good enough for her -- yada , yada , yada -- and i told her that logan was playing her . she got highly defensive - how can i blame her ? i mean , i would react the exact same way if someone i trusted told me they doubted my instincts . spinelli : okay , what -- what has the blond one done ? carly : well , she 's probably gone after the slimeball . you need to go talk to her , jason . jason : me -- me ? why me ? carly : because you 're levelheaded , she trusts you , and she 'll listen to you . jason : one of our warehouses are on fire -- ca n't do this now . carly : did the zaccharas do this ? jason : i mean , i think so . but i 'm not sure . [ scene_break ] jerry : ooh , something or someone has put the pink back in your cheeks , darling . sam : i said get out . jerry : well , you clearly seemed to have enjoyed your meeting with lucky -- such a shame he had to leave . it was an explosion on pier 22 , was n't it ? sam : you 're the one who did it ? jerry : oh , blowing up a warehouse to lure lucky away from your side -- it seems a bit extreme , does n't it ? nonetheless , it worked . sam : you are twisted . jerry : moi ? never . nevertheless , i 'm intent on continuing our agreement -- though , i have to warn you , there 's a slight change in our terms . sam : what change ? jerry : it 's just a little something to ensure i get what i want . [ scene_break ] sonny : he never mentioned it , but i know that ric told you i was bipolar . kate : ric is a very troubled man . sonny : right . kate : it 's true , sonny . when i met ric in the park to try to get him to drop the first round of reckless driving -- i -- oh , my god , he mentioned that you were bipolar , and i suggested i could make it public . sonny : would you have -- would you have gone through with it ? that 's all i 'm asking . kate : no , sonny . i was lying my head off . i was -- i was trying to tell him what i thought he wanted to hear . it did n't work , as you know . and i was ashamed that i -- that i even suggested the possibility . and you know what , sonny ? if you think that i consider your illness as some sort of defect , you 're wrong . sonny : i did . for a long time . and in some ways , i still do . i mean , you know , when we were younger , i mean , you 'd always tell me that i was moody , right ? kate : yes . sonny : right . kate : i thought you were trying to act mysterious . sonny : that 's how i dealt with things . i do n't know if you know this , but sometimes -- whew -- i would get so angry that i did not know what i was doing . i would smash something , or i 'd beat the hell out of some guy . but i 'd always tell myself , `` hey , you know what ? people -- people get angry all the time , people lose their temper . `` and -- and then a -- a friend of mine died , and i went into , like , this -- this gray zone and i -- i did n't -- i could n't feel anything , i could n't -- i did n't care . but that passed , right ? sonny : then my first wife was killed , and i completely lost it . and i did n't know it at the time , but i was having a breakdown . kate : tell me that you got help . sonny : well , jason would -- you know , he 'd -- he 'd keep people away from me and he 'd pick up the glass that i would break , and then -- but , you know , i mean , i just felt like there was something wrong with me , like i was weak . kate : you must 've felt alone . sonny : a lot of times i -- i wanted to kill myself , you know ? but then , you know , someone told me that i was sick , that i was mentally ill . i did not want to hear it because i did n't want to be defective . kate : it 's a chemical imbalance , sonny . it 's not your fault , just like having brown eyes or dimples . sonny : oh , you 've done your research . kate : we did a piece on it in the magazine a few years ago and one of my best friends back in the city is diagnosed with bipolar . she said it was a relief to find out , to find out that there was a cause and a treatment for the way that she felt and the things she did . sonny : well , the medicine keeps me -- keeps me balanced , keeps me from having a breakdown , or , you know , going too high or too low into the darkness , but it has n't changed who i am . if i want something , i go after it . and that can drive you crazy in a different way , you know ? [ scene_break ] trevor : so how 's anthony doing ? well , that wo n't happen as long as johnny stays put . good , listen to me . we got to do something about sonny corinthos before he goes public with anthony 's condition . well , lure him to a place where he 's vulnerable . and then put that animal down -- permanently . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know , when i went to see zacchara , i thought i was meeting an enemy , somebody i could reason with , negotiate with , somebody who understood the threat of violence and use it to his advantage -- like i do . but he is totally insane . one minute he 's screaming threats , the next minute he 's talking about roses . i got to tell you something -- you got to listen to this -- he takes out a gun , right ? and he forces me to play russian roulette , and -- i had -- in that second , i had two thoughts . one -- i do n't want to die , okay ? you know , how stupid it was that i miscalculated walking in on a madman . and the second was watching him , thinking that could be me in 20 years . kate : no . no , sonny , never . sonny : you know , hey , when you have too much power , too much -- it distorts things . you -- you know , you do n't live like other people live , you 're a -- you 're a puppet master and you 're pulling all the strings , making all the decisions . nobody should be in that position . kate : look , i do n't know anthony zacchara , nor do i want to , but i am sure that you are nothing like him . sonny : that 's sweet . but i got to tell you . i see this man , he 's in this -- he 's in this house , and he 's a prisoner , destroyed by his own viciousness and greed . and i -- i just felt like that , you know , that could easily be me . if i lost one person too many , if i -- if i stop pretending there are lines i wo n't cross . kate : i 'm not going to justify your business . it 's not right or defendable on any level . but i knew you , sonny , before you got into that business . i knew you when you were the moody boy with a beautiful smile . and i know you have a conscience . i know that there are lines that you wo n't cross . [ scene_break ] anthony : how can we call it an accident ? how am i supposed to look her parents in the eye and pretend ? you -- how long have you been in here ? handler : just came in to drop off the mail . anthony : come here . my son said he 's seeing some new girl , hmm ? uh -- he told me her name , i keep forgetting it . handler : lulu , lulu spencer . anthony : lulu spencer -- yes , that 's it . find out everything you can about her . what do you know about her ? handler : all i know , she 's -- she 's johnny 's friend . anthony : well , go find more ! i want to know how she met johnny and where she is right now . [ scene_break ] lulu : carly thinks that she 's looking out for me . guys have lied to her in the past , so she automatically assumes that you 're lying to me , too . logan : how do you know i 'm not ? lulu : are you ? logan : no . i told you -- you 're better off staying away from me . we 've been through this , lulu . lulu : yeah , you are pushing me away because you care about me . [ music plays ] logan : like i said , i 'm not great at doing the noble thing , okay ? so do us both a favor -- just leave . lulu : thing is , i have these concert tickets , and i know this guy that likes blue star as much as i do . and that means he 's not going to be annoyed when i stand up and dance to the songs , and he 's the only person that i want to invite . singer : how could i ever begin to be logan : making this really tough on me . singer : with you ? lulu : well , maybe that means you should just give in and say yes . singer : something about you now that makes it logan : how can i not when you 're smiling at me like that ? singer : if i only be [ scene_break ] spinelli : stone cold , please , just this one simple favor . you 're a source of unbiased truth , she 'll listen to you . jason : lulu does n't listen to anybody . carly : logan is a loose cannon , especially when he gets angry . remember when he punched you at kelly 's ? spinelli : yes , yes , he assaulted me with fury and uncalled - for violence . carly : and earlier he came by my house looking for lulu , he busted in the door and he grabbed me . jason : i do n't have time for this ! [ knock on door ] lucky : i need to ask you some questions . jason : i ca n't do this right now . lucky : an explosive device went off tonight in your warehouse at 9 : 15 . do you know who planted it ? [ scene_break ] jerry : see , police work can be very dangerous in this town . between the warring mobsters , the random lunatics , it would hardly be surprising if lucky lost his life in the line of duty . on the other hand , his chances of survival will greatly improve if you cooperated , you see ? sam : yeah , i see . what do you want ? jerry : nothing at the moment , but i think i 'll need you in the future . i 'll trust you to comply -- for lucky 's sake . [ next_on ] carly : what do you want ? sam : your husband . elizabeth : he would have taken way from me . diane : my client is asking for sole custody of jacob martin . robin : this is actually really important . i need to ask you a favor .
for the first time , possibly , carly expresses concern that she and her boys might be paying too high a price for her initial involvement with sonny . then , she feels the need to once more warn jason away from liz . after that , lulu arrives to discuss the fact that logan just broke up with her , for her own good . carly suspects it 's a ploy . someone blows up one of sonny 's warehouses . shortly after sam comes home and lucky dumps his divorce / custody woes on her , the two go to bed together . anthony zacchara goes on a rant when he sees johnny , wondering why the boy is always leaving him , stating that he 's all that anthony has left , and why did n't he die instead of his mother ? sonny warns trevor that no one will take port charles from him . when he 's alone with kate , sonny worries that in twenty years , he will be zacchara , because of his own bi - polar condition . spinelli and carly want jason to stop lulu from seeing dangerous men . after lucky goes to investigate the fire , jerry arrives and warns sam that if she does not cooperate , police business could get very dangerous in port charles . zacchara wants to know all there is to know about lulu .
tracy : are you really blaming this bender on me ? luke : we were at a crossroads . this thing could have gone either way , and then you took up my challenge . you said you 'd travel the world with me . we 'd just go out there in the wind together , and maybe we 'd find a whole new direction . tracy : new bars , new floozies , new direction ? luke : yeah , well , we were out there for one week , and you split and took all my cash . tracy : i do n't like pub crawls . luke : there was the whole world there in front of us , all those possibilities , and then you quit on me . tracy : i do n't -- i do n't like being the ball - and - chain around your neck . luke : when did i ever say that ? tracy : you did n't have to say it . i could see you wanted to be free . luke : do n't you get it ? i 'll never be free of you , and that 's the way i like it . [ scene_break ] lulu : i mean , i know it sounds crazy to say that it 's a good thing that i 'm getting threatening notes , but it means that i might not actually be crazy . [ scene_break ] trevor : look , i ca n't answer your questions right now . i 'm leaving the courthouse , so i 'll talk to you soon . spinelli : the jackal shall follow darth lansing like a second shadow until he determines what the evil one is up to . maxie : not so fast . [ scene_break ] nikolas : carly , it 's not that hard to figure out . he brought that woman here just to make you jealous . carly : no , i play those games . jax does n't . this is about something else . [ scene_break ] jax : i have a good feeling about you . you 're quick , and you 're ruthless . lawyer : but you like that in a woman ? jax : i like it in a lawyer . did you get a chance to look over the papers i sent you ? lawyer : it 's ambitious and risky , but if you want to buy spoon island out from under mr. cassadine , more power to you . jax : yeah , could n't happen to a nicer guy . lawyer : what did he do to you ? [ scene_break ] carly : jax 's body language is a dead giveaway . see , when he flirts , he leans in for more intimacy , or he leans back so he can draw you in . he 's not doing either . this is all business . [ scene_break ] olivia : i know , dante . yeah , what mother would n't love a son who calls his mother all the time , but you 're going overboard , okay ? i 'm in the hospital with your cousin connie . i 'm not out skydiving . yes , i know . i do n't take candy from strangers , and i stay away from the bad guys . yes , especially sonny corinthos . yeah . dante says hi . kate : hi , dante . olivia : she says hi . he 's looking forward to meeting you very soon . so is she . okay , sweetie , i love you too . good night . kate : that 's amazing . olivia : what ? the way he calls me all the time ? kate : no , how you never even once hinted that sonny is his father . [ scene_break ] claudia : daddy offered to turn over the entire organization to sonny . all he wants is a guarantee of sonny 's loyalty . jason : just get to the point . claudia : my father wants sonny to marry me so we all become family . jason : it 's not going to happen . claudia : well , think about it this way . sonny 's addicted to power , and you wo n't give it to him . he needs it bad . he needs it to pay karpov back for humiliating him . he needs it to show himself and everyone who crosses him that he 's untouchable . he needs the power . he needs the influence . he needs the money , and most importantly , he needs the fear in his enemy 's faces . so if that 's the only way to get his fix , he may hate being married to me , but sooner or later he 'll agree , and you know it . jason : then why are you here ? claudia : because there 's one way to stop this deal from happening and to stop the war that it will bring , and that is to make me unavailable to marry sonny . marry me yourself . [ scene_break ] spinelli : maximista is most confusing . you wish me to follow darth lansing , but at my first opportunity , you delayed me . maxie : well , because the last time you helped lulu you ended up in a straitjacket , and this time you could end up wearing cement shoes . i 'm just not going to have you risk your life until we have a real reason trevor would be messing with lulu . [ scene_break ] lulu : the whole time that i imagined you awake , guiding me through everything , i was relying on you to be my strength , and now i realize that i have to depend on myself , which is what you tried to teach me , even if you were only in my head . but what i do know is , i 'm getting out of shadybrook . i would give anything to take you with me . [ scene_break ] tracy : thank you . i 'm supposed to believe you 're crying in your beer because you missed me ? luke : yeah , and i 'm supposed to believe that you 're just here because lulu needs me ? tracy : if you missed me so much , you could have emailed , phoned , or sent me one of those cute little shrunken heads . luke : have you checked your messages lately ? maybe your old man has tried to contact us while we were in the slammer . maybe he 's got me free to come back across the border . tracy : no calls . luke : oh , hell . tracy : and i do n't believe your sudden rush of romance . i think you 're just covering because i caught up with you . luke : pumpkin . popsicle . poopsie , come on . you think that i 'm just taking advantage of you because of your undying devotion ? tracy : actually , i think you 're an opportunist without conscience and that i was a fool to ever express anything but contempt . luke : well , that 's just your guilt talking . tracy : my guilt ? i 'm not the one sitting south of the border , swilling tequila and flirting with floozies . luke : i had a great adventure planned for us , and you bailed on me , wife . [ scene_break ] jax : my wife and i are going through a divorce . cassadine is using that to buy into this hotel . lawyer : does your soon - to - be ex - wife care that she 's being used ? jax : dangling this hotel in front of cassadine is her way of getting my attention . lawyer : i can see this might get complicated . jax : i do n't like cassadine using carly as leverage , and this puts the advantage back in my court . lawyer : i 'll draw up the papers for your offer on the property . it 'll be ready for your signature within the hour . jax : thank you . lawyer : this is probably out of line , but as a divorcee , i can tell you that things would be so much better for you if you tried running the hotel with carly instead of her life . [ scene_break ] nikolas : now , this is just an observation , but if you can tell yourself that jax is up to something nefarious , at least you can believe you still have the potential . carly : if we 're going to have a successful business relationship , you need to trust my instincts . [ scene_break ] jax : thank you very much . lawyer : certainly . [ scene_break ] nikolas : and what do your instincts tell you right now ? carly : that jax is up to no good , and it 's aimed at us .

[ scene_break ] claudia : if i become the 25th mrs. sonny corinthos and sonny corinthos takes over the zacchara organization , you are headed for a war with your former best friend . the only way to stop that is to blow this deal between my father and sonny . the only way to do that is for you to marry me yourself . jason : you want to get married ? let 's do it , let 's go . [ scene_break ] lulu : hey . maxie : hi , sorry , we need to talk to you . spinelli : yeah , new suspicions have arisen surrounding the devious note- writer . lulu : really ? come in , come in , guys . maxie : no , no , no , let 's just go to your room . lulu : why ? do you guys feel weird around my mom ? maxie : yes . spinelli : not at all . lulu : it 's -- it 's okay . i mean , it 's not -- she 's -- it 's kind of like she 's sleeping . just come in . it 's fine . so , mom , spinelli 's here . he 's the friend that i told you about . he 's -- we 've been friends since the day we met . spinelli : greetings , mater of the fair one . maxie : she 's not deaf . spinelli : oh . maxie : not that she could understand you if she could hear you , because she ca n't . can she ? lulu : no one knows for sure . mom , maxie is also here . she 's the last person i ever imagined calling my friend . maxie : hi , mrs. spencer , it 's me , maxie jones . you would remember me if you could remember anything . okay , well , we really just wanted to talk to you , lulu , so spinelli , tell her . spinelli : um , would trevor be so dastardly as to gaslight you ? lulu : trevor ? well , he always hated the idea of me and johnny . he told johnny that i was a liability . spinelli : okay , then we must hasten to pick up the dark one 's trail and secure proof . lulu : what proof ? spinelli : i 'll know when i see it . lulu : see ? look at all the help i have . [ scene_break ] tracy : two days on the road , and i was done . i require indoor plumbing and edible food . room service , even . i 'm more high - maintenance than you , so i came home , where the plumbing works and the food is in fact edible . no hidden agenda . luke : well , i just wanted us to find something out on the road there together that was about us . tracy : i do n't know what you see when you look in the mirror . i 'm a realist . luke : that 's why we 're a doomed pair . what a great team . what a great team . [ scene_break ] sonny : so what , now you 're listening at keyholes like your great aunt theresa ? olivia : what ? listen , you 're talking out in the hallway . sonny : well , i mean -- olivia : i hear the words `` marry claudia zacchara . `` what , i pay attention . and i did get an earful . let me see if i get this . you want revenge on this karpov guy for getting connie shot . you ca n't do it on your own . this zacchara is happy to lend you some muscle , but you got to slip a ring on the daughter 's finger . how 's that ? sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : i 've met this girl , sonny . she is a bitch , and she is a certifiable wacko , and those are the good qualities . sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : so you just be real sure that this power you 're going after is worth what you got to do to get it . [ scene_break ] claudia : you realize this is going to cost you , right ? i mean , if we 're getting married , you 're going to actually have to talk to me sometimes . eye contact , that 's progress , but i want -- i want actual conversation . jason : why ? claudia : because we 're getting married . that means for the foreseeable future , we 're going to be spending a lot of time together . jason : no . claudia : i see . so you 're going to marry me so that sonny ca n't , and then you 're going to send me back to my apartment to live , or wherever else i want to go , even italy if i want ? jason : it 's your life . you get to live where you want to live . claudia : as long as it 's not with you . i spent most of my life as a commodity . anthony zacchara 's only daughter , a useful bargaining chip , sent away until i was needed . well , husband to be , guess what ? i 'm needed now . i 'm needed by my father . i 'm needed by sonny . i 'm sure as hell needed by you . so if we 're going to do this , you 're going to have to work with me . you 're going to have to change your attitude and work with me instead of against me . and why do n't you use this time to convince me why i should be marrying you instead of sonny ? [ scene_break ] sonny : please tell me you did n't spill your guts to kate about what you just heard . olivia : would you give me some credit ? sonny , please , like i 'm going to tell my cousin who 's recovering from a gunshot wound , `` oh , by the way , they guy you were about to marry , he 's going to marry some crazy mob witch instead . `` please . sonny : i turned zacchara down . marrying claudia is ridiculous , too high a price to pay . besides , there 's only one person that i love , one person that i want to marry , and that 's your cousin kate . olivia : bull , sonny . sonny : bull , why ? olivia : you do n't give up that easy , or maybe -- maybe you forgot about tommy trombini . you remember him ? i was supposed to go out with you on new year 's eve . sonny : right . olivia : tommy trombini asked me out . he saw you walking down the street ; he clipped you in the ribs . remember what you did ? sonny : trombini was a thug . olivia : you remember what you did ? sonny : so what , who cares ? olivia : you waited outside his house . you left me freezing my ass off outside the rialto . you waited outside his house so you could jump him and knock his front teeth out . sonny : what has that got to do with anything ? olivia : because no one gets away with hurting you , sonny . okay , maybe you 're still going to church on sunday , but payback is your true religion . okay , i get it . maybe you want to avenge my cousin getting shot . but what you really want -- you want to be the guy that 's in charge . you want to be the guy that everyone respects and everyone fears , and if you got to marry this claudia to get that , i got no doubt that 's what you 're going to do . [ scene_break ] claudia : you know , so far i 'm not -- i 'm not hearing any of the reasons why i should be your wife . in fact , i 'm not hearing anything at all from you except for silence , and i think -- i think i made it clear that i 'm not -- i do n't have any intention of marrying somebody who refuses to even speak to me . jason : you 're the one who wanted to get married . do you want to get married ? claudia : i 'm considering my options . look , daddy does n't trust sonny , but he needs him for something , obviously , or he never would have offered sonny control of the entire zacchara organization . and sonny -- he wants karpov dead , right ? but i think you and i can both agree that 's just an excuse , because sonny made a huge mistake when he turned over power of his entire organization to you . he wants to run the zacchara organization so bad that he can taste it . but fine , what happens when he 's in charge ? what 's to stop him from taking over completely ? nothing , except family loyalty , of course . if he 's married to me , sonny becomes a zacchara . our interests become his , and then you 're the odd man out . which is why you should really be telling me why i 'm better off being married to you than sonny . jason : who says you have to marry anyone ? claudia : that 's an excellent point . i could -- i could run away . i could change my name , dye my hair , start over someplace totally new as somebody completely different . maybe everybody would be better off if i did . [ scene_break ] carly : you 're jax 's assistant . it 's your job to know who -- okay , i need to know who he has on the calendar so i do n't duplicate the same hotel business . i 'll take it up with jax . hmm . nikolas : okay , so two people who clearly love each other and need to be in each other 's lives but wo n't just give it up and simply be together resort to games and power plays . is that a fair estimation ? carly : i would take him back in a second . he 's the one fighting this , not me . nikolas : well , i 'm hoping you 're not just going to run back into his arms and cut me out of this deal here .

's cell - phone tracking capability proves accurate once more . maxie : okay , well , how are we going to find out if trevor 's the one blackmailing lulu ? [ scene_break ] lulu : ah , it 's so hard writing down what i feel . they ask me to write down my feelings , but when i read it , it 's just -- it 's so stupid . spinelli gave me a poetry book . maybe i could get some inspiration from that . i could read it to you , too . i 'll be right back . [ scene_break ] spinelli : jackal , p.i . and his trusty colleague maximista must infiltrate the general proximity of darth lansing without detection . maximista , undercover operations are not the right venue for cyber - chatting -- maxie : spinelli , give me a second . i 'm trying to confirm the flowers for patrick and robin 's wedding . spinelli : okay , lulu 's life is -- maxie : i want to help lulu as much as you do , but an investigation 's a little more time intensive than a simple breakout . spinelli : yeah , but she 's being menaced -- maxie : yeah , she 's stuck in shadybrook and someone is sending her anonymous letters . it is awful . but it 's not like her life is at stake . spinelli : she 's very -- maxie : she seems to be doing a lot better since we tried to break her out . she 's been acting snotty and insufferable , basically back to her old self , which is why , as much as i want to help her , there is a deadline to this investigation . spinelli : there is ? maxie : at exactly 8 p.m. , unless lulu 's tied to some railroad tracks or dangling from a cliff , you and i are putting our rescue efforts on hold , and we 're going to focus on the wedding . spinelli : with all due respect to -- maxie : do n't try to talk me out of it , spinelli . lulu has a crisis every other month . patrick and robin are getting married once . we 're going to focus on them . spinelli : oh , come on . maxie : we have to wrap this up . we 're wasting time . [ scene_break ] carly : the problem i have with this deal is i still do n't get your motivation for wanting to buy into the metro court . nikolas : carly , i wish i had a practical explanation for wanting to buy this place , but i just -- i do n't . i do n't . i just want it . and the fact that it bothers jax makes me want it even more . carly : i think you miss emily . and i have to tell you that buying this hotel is n't going to fill that void . nikolas : yes . yeah , i 'm looking for a diversion . so ? carly : well , i go shopping when i 'm feeling down , you know ? i buy a pair of shoes , a purse . i 'm afraid that this hotel is a lot higher maintenance . nikolas : it 's -- that 's it , exactly . it 's about something new . i mean , do n't you think we should keep ourselves open to new experiences ? carly : i do . i just think that if you are looking for revenge against jax , that 's -- not here . nikolas : no , it 's about me getting what i want and not allowing anyone to get in my way . i mean , are n't -- in a way , we kind of using each other ? which is fine . i do n't have a problem with that . i 'm just -- carly : i -- nikolas : no , look . take all the time you need , okay ? [ scene_break ] trevor : lulu is in a tough situation . but you already know that . johnny : you do n't have any new information for me , i got no reason to stay . trevor : hey , hear me out . i 'm on your side . can you honestly look me in the eye and tell me that you think lulu is better off for having seen you ? johnny : she thinks so . trevor : lulu is not a doctor , john . look , i want you to contact this man . he was the doctor i brought in to analyze your father in his early stages of his illness . he 's going to be more realistic about lulu 's situation . spinelli : a - ha ! we are emissaries of the fair one . and we have just attained damning evidence as to your treasury , darth lansing . [ scene_break ] lulu : emily dickinson , walt whitman . i do n't know what kind of poetry you like . people wrote so beautifully about love . wanting it and losing it . did i tell you that johnny plays piano ? first time i heard him play , i always say , it was like seeing into his soul . i do n't know if i could ever be that brave expressing myself . no , i 'm not going to do this . i know you . you would not want me to cheat . no cribbing off of emily dickinson . i will find my own words . see ? i still feel you with me . i hope you feel me too , mom . i love you . good night .

[ scene_break ] claudia : have you ever tried to leave the mob ? jason : maybe once . actually , twice if you count -- claudia : what ? if you count what ? oh , come on . we 're on our way to get married . the very least you can do is share a few of the pertinent details of your -- your early childhood with me . so you were on your way to leave the mob , and then -- jason : and then the life i tried to make , it -- it did n't work . claudia : wow . insightful . what about the other time ? jason : i just went traveling . claudia : where ? jason : just places i read about in a book . claudia : what , wherever you wanted to go , whatever interested you ? jason : that was it . claudia : that must have amazing . go someplace , nobody knows who you are . you 're totally anonymous . nobody wants anything from you . nobody wants to fight you . but i do -- i mean , i noticed you came back . so why did you do that ? did you get lonely ? jason : i do n't know why . claudia : you mean you wo n't say . oh , maybe you really do n't -- you mean you really do n't know ? jason : no . claudia : i do n't -- i get the sense that you do n't spend a whole lot of time contemplating your emotional life . which is why you 're willing to marry me right now . jason : okay . i thought you were going to disappear . claudia : is that what this ride is about ? i mean , is that what this trip is about ? are we about to get married , or am i about to -- am i about to get a bullet in the back of the head ? because if i 'm out of the way , then my father and sonny do n't have any way of making an alliance -- jason : you do n't have to die . for them . all you have to do is leave . [ scene_break ] sonny : i see you again after 20 years , and somehow , you know more about what i 'm going to do than i do . olivia : i have n't forgotten , sonny . okay , i know you got slapped around as a kid , and you watched your mother get the same . and there was n't a damn thing that you could do about it except develop this great big , fat case of suppressed rage . see , i get it . i really do . i just do n't necessarily agree with how you handle it . sonny : how i handle it ? deke got what he deserved , that 's how i handle it . olivia : i 'm sure you say that about all the guys that gets what 's coming to them . like this karpov guy . this guy slapped your face when he had connie shot on your wedding day , okay ? sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : and now you 're angry . and you feel helpless all over again , and you 're determined to get even , no matter what it costs you . sonny : i 'm not going to marry claudia zacchara . olivia : yeah , you will if you want to get back in the mob , you will . sonny : you do n't get it . you do n't have a clue what 's going on here . kate 's a target . i 'm a target . so i 'm going to do what i have to do to protect us both . that 's it . olivia : sonny -- sonny : do n't do this . do n't -- olivia : do n't you play me for stupid and do n't you dare use my cousin as an excuse , okay ? this is about you . you want to get back in the mob because that 's what you 're good at . sonny : yes . olivia : okay ? i get it . but i got news for you . you ca n't have my cousin and the mob , too , okay ? especially not if you 're going to marry this woman . because i will tell you right now , there is no way in hell that connie is going to be your mistress . okay , so you get real honest with yourself and with connie . if you 're going back in , you say goodbye to her and you let her go . [ scene_break ] claudia : would you pay me to leave town ? jason : how much would you need ? claudia : i -- uh , running 's not an option for me . my brother tried to run once . i was n't living at home at the time , but johnny used to call me . and he said that my dad was really getting worse . and he could n't stand it anymore , so he was going to run away to this cousin of his mom 's . and i warned him not to try . i told him that daddy would find him and that he would be furious . but he did anyway , and sure enough , my father called two days later , furious , frantic , and he wanted to know where johnny was -- jason : and you told him ? claudia : my father found out . on his own . and he went and got johnny , and then he killed the cousin , and then he killed the cousin 's family . you know , as a warning to john not to try to run again , so all by way of saying that running is not an option for me . besides , i would n't leave my brother to deal with my father alone . jason : he seems capable of taking care of himself . claudia : my brother went through a lot worse hell than i did , because everything my father did was about john . all of it . all of the craziness and the insanity . the murdering , the lies . it was all about building this empire that he could leave to his son . and that is why my dad wants an alliance with sonny . you understand ? so that sonny can take you out , and johnny wo n't have to . that 's going to be the justice of the peace , so are we going to do this thing , or what ? [ scene_break ] trevor : what are you doing ? spinelli : i am conducting a handwriting comparison vis - à - vis the notes of terror being left for the fair one . trevor : notes . what is he talking about ? johnny : shut up , trevor . are you saying that the threatening notes lulu received are real ? maxie : see for yourself . we think trevor 's trying to mess with lulu 's head . trevor : what ? spinelli : it appears that jackal , p.i . and maximista have leapt to the wrong conclusion , as it were . lansing the elder 's penmanship does not match that of the threatening missives . maxie : wait , how is that possible ? we saw him there . he was in lulu 's room . spinelli : i do n't know . maybe -- perhaps the act of an accomplice . trevor : sorry would be nice . lulu was n't in her room when i tried to see her . look , i am trying to help her . so here , contact this doctor . but do n't be surprised when he tells you to stay away from her . for your own good luck . spinelli : jackal , p.i . is duly humiliated . johnny : look , i get that you two are trying to help lulu , but she wrote that note herself . spinelli : no . she would have to be possessed of multiple personalities to accomplish that task . maxie : i do n't care what you guys say . lulu is not that far gone . johnny : look , i 'll follow up on that one . spinelli : no , no . the jackal protests . this is my case -- our case -- johnny : i love lulu . and if someone 's out there trying to hurt her , i 'll take care of it .

[ scene_break ] lulu : i do n't understand . i thought your father 's identity was a mystery , even to your mother . dominic : true , but i knew enough of her story to launch an investigation . she , uh , fell in with an older crowd . she was doing a lot of drinking , a lot of sexual freedom , big point of rebellion . yeah . that phase in her life is not too clear , if you catch my drift . lulu : wow . [ chuckles ] dominic : but yeah . she never used it as , like , a glorifying thing . she -- it was like an object lesson , an example of something i should n't do . she always said she had no regrets . i mean , how could she ? look what she got . [ lulu laughs ] dominic : so anyway , i started asking around , talked to some of her girlfriends , they mentioned some names of a few guys they knew she was involved with , so i tracked them down . lulu : how enterprising . i mean , how old were you ? dominic : oh , 14 , around there . yeah . one of the guys died in a car accident . the other 2 left the neighborhood , but they did n't go far . most people do n't . so i surveilled them . lulu : surveilled . dominic : uh -- yeah . i used to talk in those terms back then , like i was some kind of private investigator or something . so anyway , i was sitting outside this guy 's house watching him come and go . cute little bungalow , nothing fancy , but , you know , a step up . pretty wife , 3 kids . complete . so , yeah . no room for me . so i left it alone . [ scene_break ] jason : okay . come on . i need more . spinelli : well , unfortunately , there is no more . as i previously indicated , devlin recorded his calls on rudimentary equipment . frankly , i 'm constantly surprised at -- jason : okay , spinelli , i know that this is claudia , so how do we prove that ? spinelli : um , perhaps stone cold is n't listening , or maybe i 'm just not saying what he wants to hear . there are n't enough words to extrapolate a voice -- jason : okay . i 'm not going to accept that , so you need to loop it , extend it -- you need to do whatever it takes to match that woman 's voice to claudia , now . spinelli : i 'm sorry , but is stone cold asking me to frame mr. sir 's wife for a crime that we ca n't prove she committed ? jason : are you kid -- she committed it . she ordered the hit . it went wrong . michael got shot . what 's the problem here ? spinelli : the problem is , gut instinct does not constitute real proof . and -- tailoring evidence to support what is but a theory is most dishonorable . if that is , indeed , what you 're asking me to do , i 'm sorry , but i find it alarming . jason : when does claudia start to pay for what she 's done ? never ? spinelli : with all due respect , stone cold 's hatred for vixenella is clouding his judgment , clearly evidenced by what you 're asking me to do . maybe you just need to step back and think about that . [ scene_break ] lulu : you did n't approach him ? dominic : nope . lulu : i mean , how could you just walk away , after all that effort you made trying to find him ? dominic : what was i supposed to do , knock on his door and say , `` hey , i 'm the son you never knew you had with the woman you were too drunk or high to remember `` ? he had a family . they were happy . i was n't going to drop a bomb on their lives just to figure out who i really am . it did n't seem like a fair trade - off . lulu : maybe he would have been happy to see you . [ dominic grunts ] lulu : well , my dad was with ethan , and trust me , nobody expected that . i mean , are you sure that this guy was , in fact , your father ? dominic : short of a dna test , yeah . i mean , the odds are pretty good . i look like him . his sons could be my brothers , the sister had the same hair as me . you know , if anything , i realized that if he was n't that particular guy , my dad would be just like him , just a regular dude -- life , family , bills , sunday picnics , bowling buddies , trying to remember to pay attention to the wife . [ lulu chuckles ] dominic : and i put it down right there and then . never looked back . lulu : i 'm having a really scary thought . it 's entirely possible that you might be deeper than i thought . dominic : i told you . lulu : i think i should go before i get too excited about this . dominic : look , what 's it going to take to have more than cider with you ? lulu : oh , i have n't decided , but keep trying . i 'll let you know when you get it right . [ dominic sighs ] [ scene_break ] claudia : sonny , what happened to michael is awful . sonny : do n't -- claudia : but it 's not your fault -- sonny : do n't try to take away my guilt . it 's mine to carry for the rest of my life . i earned it . i own it . watching your son get shot rips a hole in your gut worse than any bullet could . and then , there 's nights like this where i can almost reach out and touch my own power . it 's undeniable , the rush that i get , and it feeds me . and if i 'm not careful , my ego starts telling me , `` hey , you know what ? this life is n't that bad after all . `` but i ca n't be so smug to excuse and justify who i am and what i do , so when i start feeling that power and that rush , i just remember what happened to michael and my part in it , and suddenly , i do n't feel good about myself anymore , as it should be . [ scene_break ] spinelli : to this day , i 've uncovered no hard evidence that corroborates your belief that claudia has anything to do with michael 's shooting , yet you continue to ascribe evil intent . why ? jason : because claudia is evil . she got michael shot and turned around and married his father . spinelli : vixenella is undeniably dark and damaged , but that 's not all that she is . i mean , she 's been kind to me , and she shows genuine affection -- jason : oh , i ca n't even believe that you 're falling for this . that 's an act . that 's why she gets away with stuff , spinelli . spinelli : or the answer is simple , and she 's innocent . okay . i 'm worried for my friend . i have never seen you so relentless in an unjustified attack . jason : claudia 's guilty . spinelli : what are you basing that supposed knowledge on , other than intense personal dislike -- jason : why do n't you stop psychoanalyzing me and help me prove what i already know to be true ? spinelli : i stand ready to serve , as always , and i will provide appropriate cyber assistance , but i am not going to frame claudia . jason : fine . that 's fine . i do n't need your help . you can just leave . spinelli : mere disagreement -- jason : i said go ! jason : i 'm sorry . sam : no . you 're angry because you think spinelli may be right . [ scene_break ] claudia : i get what you 're saying . you gave up a part of yourself to survive in this business , and it 's not like a quarter that somebody drops on the street . you ca n't just pick it back up and put it in your pocket . you have to find a way to deal with the trade - offs , even when they 're awful , 'cause the one thing that we all share , one fact in all of our lives , is there 's no exit door . so , you find a way to deal with it . and certainly , it comes with regret . but that 's what you got to do , because at the end of the day , there 's no other way . i mean , do you think it 's good for michael ? you honestly think that it 's in his best interest that you punish yourself every single day ? 'cause i 've talked to him , and he wants to move on . he wants to leave the past behind him . how 's he supposed to do that when his father is bludgeoning himself with it every day ? sonny : a lot of people think i should never have encouraged a relationship with my children in the first place and that i should just stay away . claudia : how 'd that work out for kristina ? sonny : not very good . claudia : yeah . it breaks my heart , it really does , to see you missing out on so much valuable time , so many important memories and moments because you ca n't get over what happened . the end -- i mean , your kids , they love you , and they accept you , so you got to find some way to , i do n't know , come to terms , find peace in yourself . just love them back . [ scene_break ] kristina : have you seen a guy who could have been waiting for someone -- tall , dark , a little older than me ? dominic : you mean the guy you were hanging in the shadows with at maxie and spinelli 's reception ? kristina : kiefer , my boyfriend . we were supposed to meet here . dominic : have n't seen him . kristina : i know i 'm a little late , but i thought he 'd at least wait for me . dominic : you know , maybe he 's late , too . do n't worry about it . kristina : no text , nothing . dominic : well , let 's go talk to mike . maybe he left a note or something . kristina : yeah , he 's not the type . dominic : well , what type is he ? kristina : can i ask you something ? dominic : yeah . sure . kristina : but be honest , okay ? i can take it . is it true that guys will do anything , even pretend to love you , just so they can have sex with you , and then once you do , they forget about you ? [ scene_break ] olivia : is that some kind of threat ? if i do n't tell dante that sonny 's his father , you 're going to step in and do it for me ? great . that 's a great way to be supportive , connie . kate : excuse me . i have supported you all of these years , and now , the circumstances have changed . olivia , you need to adapt . you need to tell dante the truth . he 'll realize he 's swimming in conflict of interest . he 'll quit the case . he 'll go home . and no one will end up shot . olivia : oh , my god . kate : that is a really , really good outcome , olivia . olivia : do you have any idea how insulting you are right now ? [ kate scoffs ] olivia : do you think i have n't spent months pulling my hair out trying to figure out a way to get my kid off this case ? you think he 's going to find out that sonny is his father -- he 's just going to pack his bag , he 's going to go slinking home ? he 's going to go right to sonny . he 's going to confront him . and once sonny knows , he will never , ever let dante go . never . and you know that . kate : the bottom line is , they deserve to know the truth about each other . olivia : that is not your decision to make ! sonny is -- he 's got this mob- running thing down to a science , all right ? i know this because he has n't been caught yet , okay ? eventually , the police , they 're going to get sick of chasing after him . they 're going to give up . they 're going to pull dante off the case , and they 're going to look for somebody else . nobody ever has to know anything . kate : huh . and i 'm the one people call selfish . olivia : what in the hell is that supposed to mean ? kate : you do n't want to tarnish your image . olivia : oh , excuse me ? kate : yeah . i think that you 're afraid that if sonny and dante know the truth , they 'll look at you in a different light . so all of this really is n't about what 's best for your son . [ olivia sighs ] kate : it 's all about what 's best for you . you know , olivia ? just forget it . [ scene_break ] robin : ugh . okay . we just went through all of ian devlin 's patient files . patrick : every cd , dvd , audio recording . no trace of anything questionable . if ian was involved with anything , he did n't bring it here . jason : okay , i 'd like to look through the files myself if you do n't mind . you might have missed something . robin : it 's like this , jason . we really want to help you . we 're willing to bend the rules a little bit . but we can not ignore patients ' rights . i mean , these are confidential files . jason : robin , i do n't care about medical histories . patrick : but you 're looking through medical history . you understand our dilemma here . jason : no , i get that . but you do n't understand that i need to find the evidence that places the blame on the right people for michael 's shooting . robin : we do understand that you want to set the record straight on that , but you might also want to consider the answers you want may not be here . epiphany : oh . heh . i 'm not even going to ask . fyi , i finally convinced maintenance to do its job , and they 're going to be cleaning out the lost and found down in the staff locker room . so if you think you might have something down there , i suggest you go and claim it before it 's garbage . robin : thanks . patrick : my t - shirt . robin : what t - shirt ? patrick : my favorite t - shirt that i lost . maybe i left it on the bench and somebody -- jason : hey , devlin 's locker . what happened to the contents ? [ scene_break ] sam : this is a joke . nothing 's in here . patrick : well , if they were labeled , then they would n't be lost , would they ? sam : well , ca n't you tell me if anything came from ian 's locker ? patrick : you know what ? the last time i saw that t - shirt is before emma was born . we were on the bench for a little afternoon delight , and i think -- robin : i have no idea what you 're talking about . patrick : you do so . you hated that t - shirt . it reminded you of my wild , crazy college days . sam : wait , jason . get this . it 's just like the one that was in the basement . jason : here . oh . change of clothes . sam : aha . jason : cash . and -- ha . cds . sam : there you go . right around the time of michael 's shooting . perfect . patrick : well , i 'm really sorry you did n't find what you were looking for . patrick : okay . you do n't help me find that t - shirt , that means you did something really mean to it . robin : with any luck , it got ripped up and turned into rags . patrick : you better not be serious .

[ scene_break ] dominic : here you go . kristina : oh . thanks . i should have worn a sweater , but i was in such a hurry , and the fact that it 's fall has n't quite sunken in yet . dominic : yeah , it is pretty sudden . kristina : you do n't have to answer my question , by the way . i mean , you hardly know me . why would you give away secrets of the brotherhood or whatever ? dominic : well , my brotherhood does n't disrespect women . i mean , that 's we 're talking about here is disrespect . lying someone into bed so you can have sex with them , and then dumping them right after -- i mean , there are guys out there who do that , some so smooth you ca n't even tell the difference , at first . but let me tell you something , kristina . the guy who disrespects you like that is n't worth the gum under your chair . in fact , guys like me have been known to pound losers like that into the ground . is that what you want me to do to that kiefer guy ? kristina : no . no one needs to be pounded . i mean , it 's just sex , right ? no big deal . dominic : no , it is . sex is a very big deal . i mean , it 's supposed to be this special thing . do you have a mother or an older sister you could talk to about this kind of stuff ? kristina : yeah , sure . i 'm fine , really . thanks for trying to help . dominic : all right . and you , you okay getting home ? you want me to give you a ride ? kristina : i 'll just text my brother and wait for him with my grandfather . dominic : something tells me your gramps would like that a lot . kristina : and who knows ? maybe kiefer will still show up . dominic : well , he 's a fool if he does n't . [ scene_break ] robin : no ! patrick : yes ! welcome back , buddy . robin : oh ! it 's so wrong . give it . patrick : listen to me . you sabotaged me , did n't you ? robin : no , i did n't . patrick : admit it . robin : but i really hate this thing . patrick : it 's a t - shirt , robin . robin : it 's a symbol . patrick : of a life that i do n't have anymore . robin : exactly . patrick : are you getting insecure on me ? robin : no . patrick : it was a time , an old time . i do n't have that life anymore . and i love you . i found the shirt . but you know what ? robin : mmm . patrick : i 'll dump the shirt . how 's that ? robin : no . honey , do n't do that . sorry . i 'm just being silly . it 's just that when i think of you and other women , it makes me want to rip their eyeballs out of their heads . patrick : i 'm only going to make love to you for the rest of my life . you know that . robin : good answer . you know , you also have another reputation to uphold -- as a doctor . when you agreed to help jason and sam look through ian 's files , we also agreed that we would turn anything we found over to the cops . patrick : you did n't stop them , either . robin : no , i did n't . it 's personal to me . you know , i helped raise michael for the first year of his life with jason , and i know how affected jason has been by michael 's shooting . patrick : if jason is right , claudia is involved , and we do n't go to the cops with this -- robin : yeah , but is it our job to protect claudia ? patrick : now , that 's the million dollar question , is n't it ? but i mean , we took an oath to save lives , to first do no harm . i took the bullet out of michael 's brain . as a father , if that was emma , i do n't know what i would do .

[ cell phone rings ] alexis : nothing urgent . just my assistant . shawn : is everything okay ? alexis : i 'm waiting to hear if trey is gon na help -- help us get kate committed . shawn : oh , you think he 'll do it ? alexis : unfortunately , i do n't think that trey is exactly disposed to doing sonny any favors . michael : kristina . kristina : let go of me . i have to find trey . michael : he could be with his father . scully tried to kill you before . he could be using trey to lure you in . kristina : the marriage is annulled , so there 's no reason that -- [ cell phone ringing ] starr : is it trey ? kristina : i do n't know . hello ? tracy : kristina ? uh , this is tracy quartermaine . trey is at my house , and he needs you . kristina : is his father there ? tracy : um -- you 'll be perfectly safe . i promise you . kristina : how can i be sure ? tracy : joe scully can not hurt you or anyone anymore . just come . kristina 's on her way . trey : thank you . why was my father here ? tracy : we were friends for a while . trey : until you figured out who he really was ? tracy : something like that . i think he figured that this place would be a safe haven for him where he could wait to see you one last time . he just wanted to say goodbye to his son . trey , i did n't know your father very well -- but i did know one thing . he loved you very much . dante : is joe scully still m.i.a . ? luck : we 've got men searching the area . the gun was recovered from over there . it had been fired recently . dante : well , that goes with our theory that scully shot abrahms and then jason morgan shot scully . but how does that explain jason morgan getting shot ? luck : scully ? dante : maybe . maybe not . and jason went into the water over here ? griffin : the divers are still looking , but they 're ready to call off the search and rescue . sam : jason was shot ? where is he ? is he in the hospital ? sonny : he 's not at the hospital . sam : then where is he ? sonny : we do n't know ? sam : what do you mean , you do n't know ? sonny : bernie told me he was shot and he fell into the harbor . sam : no . that ca n't be right . sonny : bernie was telling me the truth . he was dying when he told me . sam : bernie 's dead ? what about jason ? what about jason ? ! sonny : i jumped into the water . i could n't find him . sam : you could n't find him ? sonny : no . sam : well , then i 've got to go find him . sonny , stay here with the baby . danny , mommy 's gon na be right back . stay with uncle sonny . he 's not gon na be any trouble . i 'm going to find jason . sweetie , you have to scrub it first . felicia : god knows , spinelli deserves to be happy , but does n't maxie deserve to be happy , too ? mac : sweetheart , some days , that 's all i hope for . felicia : well , why should n't they be happy together ? mac : 'cause it 's not that simple . look , i was resistant to spinelli at first . okay , he got on my every last nerve . but , look , i have to hand it to the kid , all right ? he was devoted . he offered his heart to maxie on a silver platter almost every single day , you know ? he never gave up . look , as much as it pains me to say this , maxie had her chance . she had her chance . she blew it . maxie : here . lulu : thanks . maxie : is there anything else i can get you ? maybe steal you some chocolate pudding ? book you an emergency mani - pedi ? run to your apartment , remove reminders of what did n't happen ? lulu : no , thank you . there 's nothing that anybody can do . it 's just time to give up on the dream of having kids and focus on reality . maxie : well , that sounds like a terrible idea . lulu : what other options do i have ? maxie : i do n't know . i mean , if i gave up every time reality did n't go my way , i 'd -- what are those ? lulu : oh . stuff my doctor gave me . i do n't even want to look at it . it 's supposed to be options . maxie : well , maybe we should take a look at them , you know ? just -- no saying you and dante ca n't be parents after all . shawn : so , kristina 's marriage has officially been annulled ? alexis : well , the papers have been signed , and it 's wending its way through the court as we speak , although it 's obvious the two of them still care about each other . shawn : you know , why is kristina giving that punk the time of the day ? i mean , he tricks her into marrying him and almost gets her killed . alexis : well , according to her , he lured her into a trap but he saved her in the nick of time . shawn : well , how do you see it ? alexis : well , trey is n't my favorite person . but , in all fairness , you know , he 's been lied to and manipulated by his father from day one , and my daughter seems all too willing to forgive and forget . shawn : it does n't matter that he helped set the trap . alexis : a knight in shining armor is a knight in shining armor . shawn : yeah . tracy : trey -- i have something for you . it was your father 's . he left it here . trey : i used to have one just like it . it was taken from me . tracy : well , now you have your father 's . [ doorbell rings ] tracy : i 'm sorry . i better get that . trey : there 's so many questions i wanted to ask you -- so much stuff i 'll never understand . you said this medal -- was a reminder that we were family . [ voice breaking ] who 's my family now , dad ? i do n't even know what to do . should i avenge you ? where would i even start ? kristina : just so you know , one of my father 's men is outside -- in case joe jr . tries anything . tracy : he wo n't . i assure you . trey : my father 's dead . kristina : how ? trey : he said your father killed him . sonny : hey . come on . come on . sam was right . you do look like jason . he would have been so proud of you . i 'm not gon na do it . i 'm not gon na talk in the past tense . he 's been shot , but he -- he 's been shot before . he 's resourceful . he 's gon na come back to us , okay ? yeah . he 's got to . he 's got too much to live for . look . look . yeah . whoa . michael : i 'm sorry , starr . somebody should have called by now . i 'm going to the pier . starr : michael , it 's too dangerous . please . michael : whatever bernie told my dad about jason sounded serious . i ca n't just sit around here doing nothing ! what if -- starr : do n't `` what if , `` michael . what - if 's can drive you crazy , and you know that . [ cell phone ringing ] michael : it 's my dad . dad ? sonny : michael . michael : i 'm so glad to hear your voice . uh , where -- where are you ? is jason okay ? sonny : i 'm at jason 's . michael : okay , what 's going on ? is he all right ? sonny : from what i understand , scully shot , uh , bernie , and then jason tried to save him . michael : tried to save him ? what does that -- is bernie dead ? sonny : i 'm afraid so , son . michael : what about jason ? sonny : uh , b - bernie told me that jason was shot , went into the harbor . sam 's on her way there now . michael : okay . i 'm -- i 'm on my way there , too . sonny : no . no , you 're not . okay ? i 'm with the baby right now . i ca n't leave the baby alone . i have to get back to the pier . michael : dad , i need to do something to help jason ! i ca n't just sit here . sonny : the way you can help him is let me take care of sam . the baby 's alone . i ca n't do anything right now , michael . please , just take care of the baby , will you ? michael : okay . i 'll be right there . sonny : hey . hey . you ca n't count your dad out , okay ? i 've never seen anybody tougher . you just got to have a little faith , okay ? what do you say ? huh ? [ chuckles ] sam : dante . have they found jason ? dante : uh , look , hey , let 's just come over here . sam : why ? dante : just come over here for a second , please . sam : the coast guard -- they 're gon na keep looking , right ? they 're not gon na stop until they find him ? dante : i 'm sorry , sam . they 're gon na call off the search . the water 's too cold . the current is too strong . sam : i do n't care about the current . my husband is down there . got to find him , dante . dante : they 've been searching for him , and they ca n't find jason , okay ? they got a team on the shoreline . they 've found nothing . sam : so , what , the coast guard is gon na give up ? i 'm not going to . watch out , wishful thinking maxie : okay . well , this one 's about adoption . there 's lots of different ways to go about it . i guess it does take a while . lulu : i 've heard that . maxie : ooh ! ooh ! this one 's about surrogacy through in vitro fertilization . now , i 'm not 100 % sure how this works , but i think you can put your fertilized egg into some other girl 's body , and she handles all the birthy stuff . it 's perfect -- a baby without stretch marks . lulu : can you put that stuff away ? i do n't want to look at this right now . maxie : oh , yeah , i 'll put it away , but i 'm gon na save them for later . okay , what can i do for you right now ? lulu : you know what i could use right now ? a really strong drink . maxie : let 's go . mac : excuse me . felicia : i got it . [ slow music plays ] spinelli : oh , so you work here , too ? felicia : just helping mac out . spinelli : oh . felicia : you know , spinelli , mac and i have been very happy together . ellie : oh , that is so wonderful . spinelli : yes . to happiness . felicia : well , of course , it was n't easy finding our way back to each other . ellie : is that right ? felicia : yes . if i had n't persevered -- if i did n't stay and fight for mac even though i knew he was n't interested in me , we would not be here today ! spinelli : well , that 's curious , 'cause maxie always gave me the impression that it was mac that was in pursuit of you . felicia : well , love works both ways , and i think things are worth fighting for , even if it 's against all odds . enjoy . ellie : what was that about ? spinelli : i have no idea . tracy : i 'm sorry , trey . i ca n't wait any longer . i have to call the police . trey : you do what you got to do . kristina : do you know for sure that my father shot your father ? trey : it 's what my dad said when he was dying . miss quartermaine heard him , too . kristina : you 've seen how angry my dad can get . imagine if the guy who tried to kill your daughter was still running around free . trey : so , you think he did it ? kristina : i hate to think that my father could have killed yours , but i would n't be surprised . sonny : diapers are in the bag . you s - stay put until you hear from me or sam . michael : dad , i want to go with you . sonny : i already told you , michael , you ca n't . michael : but starr already said she 'd take care of the baby . i want to be there for jason . sonny : i do n't want you to see him -- okay ? i - if something bad 's happened . i 'll let you know if i hear anything . i 'll call you . michael : okay . sonny : you take care of that precious baby , okay ? starr : of course . i 've taken care of kids before . sonny : thank you -- both of you . [ door opens , closes ] sam : are there any extra wet suits ? dante : i got this . sam , you are not going in that water . the current is too strong . that 's why the coast guard is bringing their divers out of the water . sam : i do n't care what the coast guard says . i 've gone down in worse conditions that this . i 'm an experienced diver . dante : that was a long time ago , and you were n't emotionally involved the way you are now . [ cell phone ringing ] it 's too dangerous . please . do not go anywhere . stay right there . yeah ? falconeri . you sure it 's scully ? all right . i 'll be right there . sam : excuse me . do you have any extra wet suits ? i 'm sorry . we do n't allow private citizens access to coast guard equipment . sam : dante , tell them to let me go down there . my husband 's life is at stake ! dante : ca n't do that . sam : please ! i 'm gon na do this , whether you like it or not . dante : i 'm not gon na let you risk your life . sam : one way or another , i 'm going down there . i 'm gon na find my husband . no one 's gon na stop me . shawn : nice to meet you , ellie . ellie : wow . what a firm - yet - cordial handshake you have . spinelli : so , i could n't help but notice you were indulging in yet another infamous game of strip pool . alexis : yeah . i hope you were n't too scandalized when you walked in . ellie : oh , no , no . not at all . i was very entertained , actually . shawn : yeah , well , it 's even better when you 're actually playing . you know , alexis is quite the shark . ellie : yes , i did notice the women were substantially more clothed than the men . now , was that by design or -- shawn : yeah , well , mac and i got hustled . not doubt about it , right ? spinelli : and was this particular round of ecdysiastic snooker in honor of anything , or did the mood just strike you ? alexis : you know , i was just so excited about sam , the baby , and jason , i just wanted to go out and celebrate . spinelli : i 'm sorry . what about sam , jason , and the baby ? dante : look , i know you 're scared , but listen to me . there 's nothing you can do that the coast guard has n't already done . sam : sonny , what are you doing here ? where 's the baby ? sonny : the baby 's fine . he 's with michael and starr . i just want to make sure that they 're doing everything they possibly can to find jason . sam : okay , well , then , in that case , maybe you can tell them to let me get a suit . i need a wet suit , sonny . sonny : well -- sam : come on . excuse me , sir . dante : sam -- sonny : let her go , let her go , let her go , let her go . dante : i heard you were one of the first to go in looking for jason . sonny : yeah . dante : and the last to talk to bernie . sonny : he did n't say much . dante : did he tell you who shot him ? sonny : scully . dante : well , we know where scully is -- and he 's dead . sonny : good . dante : i got to head over there . sonny : good luck . dante : yeah , you too . kristina : i do n't know what to say . i mean , if my father did this -- trey : it 's all fair , right ? i mean , he tried to kill you . it 's a good thing our marriage is over . holiday get - togethers would have been a nightmare . tracy : look at you . what a waste . i want to mourn you -- but i do n't know how . you saved my life -- but i do n't understand . if you gave me that antidote before anyone else had it -- how did you get it ? lulu : do you want to go somewhere else ? maxie : no . no . uh , you need a drink . we 're gon na get one . hey . mac : hi . felicia : i 'm so glad you 're here . spinelli 's here with a new friend . maxie : mom , i know , and i 'm fine . felicia : you are ? maxie : yeah . can we have two mojitos , please ? we 'll be by the pool table . mac : okay . lulu : um , hey , i remembered you were saying something about matt . maxie : oh , right . matt . um , i went to go see him . lulu : you went to pentonville today ? maxie : yeah , and -- and i told matt everything -- you know , about spinelli and how i think he 's my mac . lulu : how did he take it ? maxie : surprisingly well . he 's actually completely willing to expedite the divorce . lulu : congratulations . maxie : this is great , because staying married to matt is the reason that spinelli is still so furious with me . lulu : so , what now ? maxie : well , now i just need to tell spinelli . lulu : you 're not planning on marching over there and telling him that you 're getting a divorce and hoping that he drops her and flies into your arms ? maxie : oh , no . that would be rude . lulu : but -- maxie : but , you know , if it happens to come up in conversation -- spinelli : sam and jason have reconciled and taken their purloined baby boy home . i mean -- i 'm sorry . we -- we have to go . i can not wait to see the happy threesome and bestow my blessings upon this precious child . come on . come on . starr : yay . good boy . come here . oh ! michael : you 're really good with him . starr : oh , do n't give me too much credit . he 's making it easy for me . [ chuckling ] he 's so cute . what are you doing ? michael : he could n't have a better father than jason . i do n't know if i told you this or not , but when i was a baby , jason raised me . he , uh , actually named me . starr : he did ? how did that happen ? michael : well , uh , my mom was away . i needed a name . so he named me after his best friend . starr : who later became your father . michael : yeah , that 's right . starr : i ca n't tell you how nice it is to know someone who 's childhood was as convoluted as mine . michael : you know , my biological father was a.j . quartermaine -- jason 's brother . he and my mom did n't really get along , though . that 's actually an understatement . starr : yeah , the parents at each other 's throats . i 've been there and done that , too . michael : he actually wanted to take me away from my mom before i was even born . so my mom lied and said that i was jason 's . starr : and jason went along with it ? michael : yeah . the first year of my life , i lived with him . by then , the truth came out , but i guess jason felt responsible for me , so he 's always just been there , you know , taking care of me and helping me out with whatever i needed . you know , he 's never been convicted , but he took a plea bargain to get sent to prison with me . starr : he got himself sent to prison ? starr : hey , hey , hey . do n't do that to yourself , okay ? you need to stay hopeful for as long as you possibly can . sam : i 'm ready . sonny : you sure you 're up for this ? you 're not too upset ? sam : i 'm not upset . jason is fine . i 'm gon na find him . dante : can you tell me what happened ? tracy : joseph showed up here , sporting yet another gunshot wound . this time , though , he knew he was n't gon na make it . he did n't want help . he just wanted me to call his son . dante : did he say what happened to him ? trey : yeah . he said your father killed him . tracy : that is what he said . dante : well , that 's not what happened . trey : oh , so now you 're gon na cover up my father 's murder ? dante : it 's no cover - up , trey . you were at your apartment with sonny and michael and starr and two of the cops when the shots went off at the pier . trey : yeah . sonny left less than a minute after the cops did . so he must have seen my father and taken a shot at him . dante : we recovered a gun from the pier . we 're pretty sure it was your father 's . found some blood nearby , too . csi 's processing that . the theory is , is jason came upon joe trying to kill bernie abrahms , sonny 's accountant . kristina : oh , my god . bernie ? he 's worked with dad forever . is he okay ? dante : he did n't make it , kristina . i 'm sorry . trey : do n't think my father murdered him . kristina : what about jason ? why do n't you just question him ? dante : jason 's missing . bernie said he was shot and fell into the harbor . the divers are looking for him . trey : so you do n't even know what 's going on . dante : trey , we are working with what we have right now , which is eyewitness accounts . bernie told sonny . sonny told the cops . trey : okay , yeah , so eyewitnesses -- let 's see . one of them 's a mob boss . the other one 's a missing enforcer , and then a dead accountant ? kristina : trey ! jason is more than just my brother - in - law . i 've known him my whole life . trey : look , i 'm sorry . okay , my father -- my father just died , and now they 're trying to accuse him of another murder ? dante : that is why we 're conducting a thorough investigation . trey : the only eyewitness is jason , assuming he turns up alive , and he 'd never say a word against sonny . sonny : jason would n't want you to risk yourself . sam : you ca n't talk me out of this , sonny . i 'm gon na find him . sonny : sam , good luck . alexis : spinelli , you might want to bestow your blessings on them tomorrow . spinelli : you know , you 're right , as usual . i 'm -- i 'm sure the baby is asleep and acclimating himself to his surroundings . you know what ? we 'll celebrate here . come on . you know , i forgot to mention that ellie here was integral in unraveling the mystery of the infants ' identities . shawn : is that so ? spinelli : yes . she defied oppressive authority to run the very lab test that confirmed the blood type of the infant that sam mistakenly -- ellie : damian exaggerates . although my supervisor can be somewhat overbearing , i would n't go so far as to say she 's oppressive . and the truth is , she was actually out of the lab that day , so it made it relatively easy to perform the necessary tests and confirm that the infant in question was , indeed , a - b negative , which is a physical impossibility with parents who are both o - positive . spinelli : is n't she amazing ? shawn : [ chuckles ] alexis : she is , indeed . i 'm very impressed . ellie : doing my job . spinelli : and i 've been so preoccupied with matters at hand that i had no idea that things had settled so felicitously . thank you so much for clueing me in . lulu : i know what you 're thinking , and it 's my duty as your friend to ask you not to act on that -- maxie : i 'm just gon na say hello . lulu : -- even though i know you wo n't listen . maxie : i 'm just being polite . ellie , spinelli . ellie : maxie ! oh , my gosh ! it 's so good to see you . maxie : uh , it 's good to see you . you look like you 're having a great time . spinelli : well , we just -- we just got the most wonderful and astonishing news . jason and sam are back together , they have their baby , and they 're calling off their divorce . maxie : [ gasps ] that 's amazing . and , speaking of divorce [ clears throat ] jason and sam might not be getting one , but matt and i are . trey : do n't you think it 's possible that sonny sent jason to kill my dad in retaliation for what he did for kristina ? dante : i understand you 're upset , trey , and you want to jump to conclusions that sonny did this , but we do n't have all the answers yet . [ zipper closing ] excuse me , detective . we 're done . trey : [ crying ] dante : i am sorry for your loss . is there anything else you want to tell us about joe ? tracy : i 've told you everything i know . trey : my father 's everything they said he was -- a criminal , a murderer . [ sniffles ] and i - i do n't expect you to care about him after all the horrible things he did to you , but -- but he loved me . and to think that i 'll never see him again . kristina : he was still your father . starr : hush , little baby do n't say a word daddy 's gon na buy you a mockingbird and if that mockingbird wo n't sing daddy 's gon na buy you a diamond ring and if that diamond ring turns brass your daddy 's gon na buy you a looking glass so hush -- michael : i 'm gon na call my dad . starr : do n't you cry daddy loves you and so do i [ cell phone rings ] sonny : hey . michael : hey . did you hear anything about jason ? sonny : nothing . you 're gon na have to hold on a second , michael . michael : dad , you there ? starr : daddy 's gon na buy you a diamond ring and if that diamond ring turns brass sonny : did you find anything ? starr : daddy 's gon na buy you a looking glass so hush little baby do n't you cry daddy loves you and so do i

[ laughs ] ava : you ca n't avoid my calls forever . i 'm just as invested in this job as you are , and i will not be ignored , my darling . morgan : what job ? ava : morgan . i - i thought we talked about eavesdropping . morgan : yeah , well , it 's kind of hard to avoid when your girlfriend keeps having these secret conversations . who were you on the phone with ? [ knock on door ] ava : i have to get that . diane : good morning , you two . oh , morgan . i see you still have n't found your shirt . thank you for messengering me your statement , by the way . these are the annulment papers for you to sign , and , ms . jerome , i believe you have a document for me , one that was signed by your silent partner ? ava : yes , yes , i do . right here . diane : excellent . excellent . fantastic . looks like everything is in order for franco 's big show . franco : hmm . how did you get in here ? heather : how many times do i have to tell you ? i have my ways . i came incognito this time . neat , huh ? franco : mm - hmm . it 's very creative . heather : yeah . you asked me for more paintings . ye ask and ye shall receive . you know how much i stan for you . franco : thanks . i guess . i think maybe i should be flattered that you stan for me . heather : it 's just twitter lingo . an unkind person might say that 's a term for a obsessed fan . i prefer dedicated follower . franco : yeah , i 'll bet . heather : the point is nothing will keep me from giving you what you want . [ knock on door ] carly : franco , open the door . [ knock on door ] carly : franco , it 's carly . we need to talk . heather : what is she doing here ? diane : franco 's show is going to be the social event of the fall season , so thank you for getting your partner 's signature so promptly . morgan : derek wells . ava : and only our attorneys will be aware of his identity . diane : i am nothing if not discreet . morgan : you guys do n't have to be so secretive . i know derek wells is your partner . derek : is everything taken care of ? carlos : corinthos should be surveying the damage as we speak . shawn : the warehouse is completely trashed . almost all the inventory is useless . sonny : i do n't have to tell you who did this . shawn : you still think derek wells is julian jerome ? sonny : i do n't think . i know . it all adds up , shawn . shawn : where 's the guard ? sonny : i had max take him to the hospital . shawn : he was n't prepared for this type of situation . i should have sent one of our people to watch the place . sonny : why ? why would you do that ? this is -- we got coffee here . completely legit . shawn : look , we should get you out of here , okay ? we do n't know if these guys are gon na make a return visit . [ tires squeal ] lucy : you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about . why on earth would i need to be distracted from doc ? scott : listen , lucy , i do n't mean to get you riled up here . i just know that you 've been feeling sort of , mm , abandoned . lucy : no , i am not ! i am not feeling abandoned by kevin . i am not . in fact , mr. smarty - pants , we are having lunch today . scott : are you sure you 're having lunch ? or is he gon na cancel , as he 's been doing ? lucy : he is not going to cancel ! you know what ? just because your whole marriage went on the skids does not mean mine will . you know what ? just go shake some more hands and kiss some more babies ' bottoms ! scott : [ sighs ] michael : i do n't know what it would mean for aj 's case if scott baldwin wins the election . i mean , last time he was d.a . , i was a kid . kiki : `` last time . `` so , he was the d.a . before ? michael : a few times . yeah . kiki : well , why did he keep getting the boot ? was he too tough on crime ? too soft ? michael : uh , neither . actually , he resigned . [ sighs ] the truth is i have no idea what this could mean . i mean , a part of me thinks that , you know , no matter what , scott baldwin has got to be better than this lazaro guy . lazaro : do n't shoot . it 's the good guys . sonny : what are you doing here , lazaro ? lazaro : the fine men at the pcpd got word of a break - in here . sonny : uh - huh . lazaro : i decided to tag along . sonny : do they have a warrant ? lazaro : feel free to begin your investigation , officers . sonny : do they have a warrant ? ! lazaro : why would they need one ? they 're here to help you . sonny : okay , next time you bring a bunch of cops in here , you ask me first . lazaro : this is the second time you 've been hit , mr. corinthos . sonny : right . lazaro : with an election coming , i need to look tough on crime . sonny : you can start by convicting aj quartermaine . lazaro : i 'm working on that . but in the meantime , we both know that i turned a blind eye to your activities . sonny : yeah , and you got paid quite a lot of money for that , did n't you ? lazaro : mm . i need a high - profile takedown . so ... you let me go after the guys targeting you , you get rid of a rival ... sonny : uh - huh . lazaro : ... i keep being d.a . it 's win - win . sonny : i do want you , uh , re - elected . lazaro : i appreciate your vote . sonny : mm - hmm . lazaro : so , i ca n't take down these guys unless i know who they are . you got a name for me ? sonny : yeah , i got a name for you . julian jerome . carlos : when you called me up here , i did n't think i would be sabotaging coffee shipments . i thought we 'd be going after some of sonny 's more ambiguous holdings . derek : yeah , you would think that , would n't you ? but you forgot the first rule of the game , carlos . you follow the money . alexis : there is something that came out of this . sam : what 's that ? alexis : you have a sibling out there somewhere . sam : [ chuckles ] yeah , okay , you are right . that is something . alexis : incredible , is n't it ? you and carly have the same brother . sam : oh . ugh . yes . i mean , i guess there 's a lot of that going around right now . alexis : what do you mean ? sam : well , it 's just a strange coincidence . i mean , you know silas , right ? well , silas , um -- kiki jerome , his daughter -- um , silas told kiki that her mother had a brother that she never knew about , and i offered to help find out who he was , and now i just -- i just ca n't stop wondering . alexis : what ? sam : is it possible that my father was ava jerome 's brother ? ava : how do you know about derek wells ? morgan : easy -- i saw the papers in your bag . ava : you went in my bag ? well , i see clearly that we need to have another conversation about privacy . morgan : whoa , why do n't you calm down ? 'cause i was looking for a pen . ava : a pen ? i 've never actually seen you write . do n't you text all your correspondence ? diane : okay , i 'm sure you crazy kids want to have this conversation in private , so , morgan , if you 'll just sign those annulment papers , i will be on my way . morgan : sure . good thing i got a pen . [ pen clicks ] diane : fantastic . all right . well , i just wish the two of you a ... lovely day . morgan : you tell me that derek wells is buying art from you and then i found out that he 's your silent partner ? ava : what goes on in my gallery , morgan , is none of your business . morgan : yeah , but you lied to me . why ? what 's going on between you guys ? carly : franco , open up or i 'm gon na use my key card . heather : you gave her a key ? franco : she owns the hotel ! she has a key to every room ! i -- i need you to hide . heather : no , what i need to do is have a little chat with your uninvited guest and make it clear to her that you 're not interested . franco : please do n't do that . please , heather . just let me handle this . the last thing i need is for anybody to see you here in this room . carly : that 's it , franco . fair warning . i 'm coming in . oh , my god . franco : hi , carly . carly : uh , you did n't open the door , so ... franco : yeah , i was in the shower . what are you doing here ? i thought you never wanted to see me again . carly : i do n't want to see ... you again . you know , i , um , your bill . it 's past due . you owe me money . so when am i getting my money ? franco : soon . really soon . i got a big show coming up . carly : this what you been working on ? franco : yep . these ... are my masterpieces . alexis : listen , according to duke , victor only had one daughter , olivia , and she 's dead . sam : so ? what if he had a mistress ? it 's possible he had a daughter with another woman . alexis : [ sighs ] from what i understand , he had a fondness for a lot of women . [ footsteps ] alexis : and there 's one now . lucy : hi . excuse me . i 'm here to see dr. kevin collins . to tell you the truth , i 'm a little early , but that 's okay . just do n't bug him if he 's got a patient or anything . i 'll just kind of wait , i guess . i 'm lucy coe . i 'm sure you 've heard of me . sonny : what do you know about julian jerome ? lazaro : oh , victor 's son ? i do n't think he 's your man . he 's ... how do i put this ? sonny : dead ? yeah , people think he is . lazaro : what makes you think he 's not ? sonny : okay , this is just a theory . what if -- what if he 's been hiding out , right ? and he 's back with a new identity . lazaro : i do n't suppose you have any proof . sonny : well , that 's where you come in , mr. district attorney . diane : thank you both for agreeing to meet with me on the fly , as it were , and i do have another appointment , so i will be brief . [ clears throat ] i want you to hear it from me first that i 'm going to try and stall aj 's trial yet again . michael : he 's being held without bail . diane : i know , and being in county lockup is ... inconvenient , but i am hoping that there are greater benefits . michael : what kind of benefits ? diane : him . michael : you think scott baldwin is gon na be elected d.a . ? diane : i think there 's a strong chance . mm . scotty baldwin was never the most reputable of district attorneys , but he and i had a sort of love / hate relationship that i fully intend to exploit at trial . michael : okay , do what you have to do . diane : you know , underneath that very sweet exterior , michael , you 've always been a realist , and i 've always appreciated that about you . your father would never allow it , d neither would i , but i think you would have done very well in his business . you remind me of jason morgan in that way . it 's always the quiet ones that are the most dangerous . oh , excuse me . by the way , i also have something for you . kiki : oh . thank you . it 's from morgan . michael : divorce papers ? kiki : annulment papers . michael : morgan wants an annulment ? on what grounds ? kiki : fraud . ava : what do you mean what 's going on between me and derek ? morgan : are you sleeping with him ? ava : no ! morgan : okay , so , he was n't the `` my darling `` on your phone call just now ? ava : morgan , i can assure you i am not having sex with derek wells . in fact , the idea of it is revolting to me . morgan : okay , then , what 's with all the secrets ? why do n't you just tell me the truth ? ava : you know something , morgan , if i did n't know any better , i 'd say you were jealous . morgan : jealous ? no . ava : good . because you 've got no reason to be . regardless of my relationship with derek . what we have is n't serious . morgan : yeah . well , maybe i want it to be . carly : well , you seem to have gotten over your artistic pretense . i mean , your agent , sebastian , wanted more pieces like that , and you certainly delivered . wow . franco : yeah , well , you know , you got to give the people what they want , and i think i have . i think i 'm gon na make a bunch of money and i 'm gon na be able to pay you back with interest . carly : well , i 'll be waiting with bated breath . franco : all right . that 's great . 'cause i was hoping to see you there . carly : i might come , yeah . i might be there . sure . i 'm sure you 'll be taking your girlfriend , diane . franco : okay , carly , look , i tried to tell you before . carly : and i 'll be going with my own plus one . over breakfast this morning , derek and i were discussing where to go on our third date . heather : mind telling me what that was about ? diane : it 's on me . scott : well ... diane miller . it 's been awhile . diane : mm - hmm . but absence does make the heart grow fonder , does it not ? just came by to tell you that you got my vote . scott : in exchange for what ? diane : [ chuckles ] oh , baldwin ! you are too much . i 'm actually thinking of the greater good . a win for you might be a nice change of pace for this city . instead of lazaro , we have somebody in office who actually understands , i do n't know , the meaning of `` trumped - up charges , `` for instance . like , take my client , aj quartermaine . scott : yes . i read up on that . diane : well , then , you know that it 's entirely circumstantial . i mean , it 's all smoke and mirrors , totally unprovable . scott : is that what you think ? diane : well , what do you think ? scott : i will let you know when i 'm in office . put that on . diane : oh . scott : thank you . diane : [ sighs ] michael : wait , morgan 's saying that you defrauded him . kiki : he is claiming that i married him under false pretenses because i was in love with someone else . and the truth is , is that he 's right . morgan : i know we 're both on the rebound and our physical relationship is new , but i 've always cared about you , ava , and i know you cared about me . i mean , you took care of me in new york , and i think we 've always had something for each other . we 're just now realizing it . ava : what are you talking about ? you 're in love with my daughter . morgan : yeah , but that does n't mean that my feelings for you are n't real . ava : morgan , i -- morgan : what ? what are you -- what 's going on ? ava : i have to go . morgan : where are you going ? ava : to see derek . morgan : derek ? ava : it 's just business . derek : see , the reason sonny can rake in all these millions without ever catching heat is simple . he funnels everything through corinthos coffee . carlos : oh , like ava 's gallery and your publishing wing . derek : exactly . except print is dying . now , ava and i had hoped that elq could be our new front , but unfortunately that is not gon na happen . carlos : that 's too bad . i mean , you could launder a lot of money through an international like that , right ? derek : yeah . well , what are you gon na do ? right now i have bigger fish to fry . carlos : corinthos coffee . derek : yeah , you see , when you take out a front business , it does n't matter how much money a family brings in . they ca n't spend it without alerting the authorities . those millions are useless to them . it 's like having a gun without bullets . sonny : julian jerome was killed in a shootout with a guy named jonathan paget . his body was found by the chief of police , robert scorpio . lazaro : i remember . it was big news back then . sonny : okay , so , there must be a file on it . robert scorpio must have an account of everything that happened . i just -- i just need you to pull it for me . lazaro : i ca n't . those records are confidential . sonny : so ? lazaro : you 're talking about something that happened 20 years ago . odds are all we have is a hard copy . i 'd have to sneak the file out of pcpd , which is next to impossible with commissioner devane on watch . sonny : i have faith in you . last thing that you want to do is disappoint me . lucy : what can i do for you ? sam : well , actually , we were hoping you could answer a few questions for us . alexis : and we would n't ask unless it were very important . lucy : okay . okay . um ... consider me intrigued . what do you want to know ? alexis : uh , we 're inquiring about a certain individual with whom you were reputedly acquainted with . sam : what do you know about victor jerome ? lucy : victor jerome ? well , that 's a blast from the past . what about him ? alexis : duke mentioned that you were , uh , involved with him . lucy : oh , no , no , no , no . i do n't mean to be mean or anything , 'cause i love duke , but he had to misspeak or he has to remember it differently , 'cause i was never , ever involved with victor jerome . sam : you were n't ? lucy : no . no , i was n't . really . i promise . i admit , i was , uh , making bad relationship choices at the time , but happily i was never involved with him . i was not wanting him , but he -- he kind of wanted me . he was actually head over heels in love with me . and unfortunately when i rejected his affections , he ate it . sam : he did ? wait , what do you mean ? he -- he died when you rejected him ? lucy : yeah . i - i -- i guess so . technically he did . he literally ... ate it . he -- he choked on my necklace . sam : [ gasps ] alexis : he did . lucy : okay , but you still have not said why do you want to know about him ? sam : um , okay , this is gon na sound a little bit awkward , and i 'm sorry for being so crass about this , but is it possible that victor had other relationships ? a mistress , possibly ? lucy : oh , um , let me think . yeah . [ gasps ] there was a woman . her name was , um , dimetria . and she actually bore his love child . franco : all right , what did i do now ? heather : you said that you wanted my paintings because you admire my work , my artistic genius . and now based on what you were telling carly , it sounds like you 're just trying to pass them off as your own . franco : i had to tell carly that , right ? i mean , i had to . i -- [ sighs ] i ca n't show her my real work , 'cause it would ruin the mystique . heather : so , you are planning an art show ? franco : yeah , of course , but , you know , not with these . it 'll be with my artwork . heather : new pieces . from the franco . can i see them ? franco : yeah , well , no , it 's like i said . it would ruin the mystique . heather : you 're not comparing me to carly , are you ? franco : no , not at all . it 's just that my work is very contextual , and it has to be in a context . and if i showed it to you now , it would be like giving you your christmas present in october . heather : say no more . besides , i 've already had my present for today . carly 's seeing someone else . franco : yeah , i already told you that . heather : and what 's going on with you and diane miller ? from what i hear , she 's quite promiscuous . franco : well , she 's a fantastic attorney . heather : no question . franco : yeah . heather : but a lousy gossip columnist . did you know that her former publisher fired her and hired me to do her job ? he was thrilled with it ! in fact , we became quite close . his name is actually -- franco : i do n't need to know his name . heather : well , i guess i ca n't complain . jumping from carly to diane is a step in the right direction . franco : yes , it is ! in fact , you know what ? diane is on her way over right now . so now would be a great time for you to leave . heather : now ? franco : yes . heather : i thought we could grab some blts . franco : i 'll take a rain check on that . okay ? because i do n't want to send diane mixed signals . not now . not during the honeymoon phase of our new relationship . heather : fine . and , by the way , yes , you are very welcome . franco : hmm . heather : for the paintings . franco : yeah . heather : ca n't wait to see your big show . [ door closes ] sam : so , victor and dimetria had a child . lucy : uh , yeah , a boy . a son unfortunately named dino . what ? that 's not the information you wanted ? what ? alexis : actually , we 're trying to find out if victor fathered an illegitimate daughter . lucy : well , not with dimetria . [ gasps ] but there was that other mistress . sam : what other mistress ? ava : you mind telling me why you 're ignoring my -- carlos rivera . i heard you were in town . carlos : ava jerome ! mm ! still as gorgeous as the day we met . ava : you always did know just what to say . carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : so , any luck with that old love of yours ? carlos : it 's an uphill battle . ava : i do know what that 's like . carlos : well , yeah . derek tells me you got a new situation of your own . a little young for you , no ? derek : okay , excuse me , but if you 're both done , uh , carlos has some work to do . carlos : like i said , always business with you . see you around . ava : yeah . so ... you can update carlos on the family business but not your little sister ? derek : you want an update ? it 's done . corinthos is down for the count . carly : what happened ? shawn : our friends paid another visit . carly : the same people who destroyed the coffee shipment ? sonny : we got it covered . what are you doing here , carly ? carly : do you have any idea about morgan ? shawn : i 'll go check on something . carly : okay . all right , so , i 'm guessing that you know where our son is . sonny : morgan is staying at ava 's new place . carly : why did n't you tell me ? sonny : because i knew how you would react . carly : oh , really ? sonny : which is pretty much the way you 're reacting . uh , so i had -- you know , i went over there and i had words with morgan . carly : is he still there ? sonny : he does not want to come home , so , i 'm just telling you , if you go over there all hot - headed -- carly : i just want to make sure he 's okay , sonny . please . tell me exactly where he is . derek : we still have sonny to , uh , take care of . ava : did you get the job done or not ? 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 . sonny : you are an adult now , and i ca n't -- i ca n't protect you from all the harm that 's gon na happen out there . especially this woman . watch your back . kiki : diane ? we 're all set . diane : well , kiki , that was awfully fast . you sure you do n't want to -- kiki : oh , i 'm sure . no , it 's better this way . diane : okay . i 'll have these filed by this afternoon . michael : you okay ? kiki : um , yeah , i 'm okay . it 's just -- it 's a lot to process . michael : do you want to get out of here ? kiki : okay . diane : what 's all this ? franco : this is my new work . a dozen or so paintings just like the one sebastian said he loved so much . we are ready to put this show on the road . diane : yes . we would be , except we have one big problem . franco : what 's that ? diane : you did n't paint any of these . scott : excuse me , ma'am . have you , um , given any thought as to who you -- heather : scotty . scott : heather ? sam : okay , wait a minute . so this mistress who is from new york -- you mean the city ? lucy : what else would i mean ? alexis : what else can you tell us about her ? lucy : uh , not much . i think they met at a bar near the george washington bridge . sam : okay , do you remember its name ? lucy : uh , wait . it 'll come to me . it was irish . wait , wait , wait , wait . riley 's ? rogan 's ? ryan 's . sam : ryan 's . ryan 's . are you sure ? lucy : yeah . it was ryan 's . i 'm 100 % sure it was ryan 's . i hope . ava : sounds like you 've got the sonny situation well in hand . derek : is that approval i hear ? ava : do n't get cocky . how are things with carly jacks ? derek : making progress every day . before long , she 'll be in my pocket , too . carly : morgan ? morgan ! derek : okay , enough about me and carly . how are things with you and the kid ? ava : well , you 're not gon na believe this , but i think the kid is actually falling for me . sonny : we got to deal with what 's in front of us right now . nobody hits us like this , gets away with it . somebody is gon na pay for what they did last night . shawn : you say the word and it 's done . sonny : we got to be smart , though . you understand what i 'm saying ? shawn : okay . so what you want to do ? sonny : we 're gon na wait for lazaro to come back with that file . once we 're sure that derek wells is julian jerome , we are gon na strike . we are gon na make him wish he stayed dead . ava : you wo n't believe this , but morgan thought we were sleeping together . derek : you and me ? ava : yeah . [ laughs ] i nearly choked . do you believe that , julian ? he actually thought i was sleeping with my own brother .
alexis has gotten the lab results to prove that julian jerome ( whom she believes is dead and has no clue is derek wells ) is sam 's biological father . sam is also ready to connect the dots that silas ' daughter kiki 's mother , ava , has a brother who might be the same man in question . they wonder if sam could have siblings out there who are her deceased father 's kids . they find out about julian jerome 's family , mistresses , and illegitimate children he may have had with them from lucy coe who was seeing victor jerome many years ago .
jason : i ca n't imagine losing someone like that . maybe because i ca n't imagine having someone like that in the first place . elizabeth : well , i hope you never find out what that 's like . we could n't even give him a proper funeral . jason : why not ? elizabeth : they dragged the harbor for days . they never found jason 's body . jason : so there 's no place to mourn jason -- no grave ? elizabeth : well , there 's a marker in the quartermaine family crypt . monica : [ sighs ] alice : dr. q ? monica : [ gasps ] oh . alice : hey . i 'm sorry to intrude . i was just out walking , like i 've been doing , as you told me , for my recovery , and i just saw the crypt door open . i was making sure everything 's okay . i 'm sorry . i 'll leave you alone . monica : no , no . it 's okay . just ... this is all i have left of my son . alexis : what is the matter with you ? why would you go after ned ? ca n't you take no for an answer ? julian : no . alexis , i ca n't . not when it comes to you . so you look me in the eye and tell me you would rather be with ned . ned : you want my help ? with what ? tracy : i need your shares of elq . olivia : oh , you must think i 'm being so silly . lulu : no , we do n't . olivia : i mean , it 's just a vision , right ? lulu : no , you do n't have just visions , so we 're not taking any chances . now , with carly 's wedding coming up , it 's probably a good idea for you to check on heather anyway , seeing as how the last time she escaped , she almost killed my cousin . carly : hey ! i missed you this morning . franco : i got up early and you were sleeping so peacefully . carly : yes , and you know how i hate rude awakenings . franco : [ chuckles ] boy , do i ever . carly : well , what got you out of bed at the crack of dawn ? franco : big day at work . carly : yeah ? franco : yeah . i have a very special therapy session with a very special patient . [ door opens ] franco : oh . and here she is now . heather : [ smooches , blows ] carly : special patient , huh ? is it a she ? should i be jealous ? franco : i think you know the answer to that . carly : you make sure you tell her you are a soon - to - be - married man . franco : to the most beautiful , loyal woman on the planet , right ? carly , you know you 're the only woman for me . just like i 'm the only man for you , right ? carly : right . dante : look , we have to remember that when heather kidnapped carly , it was to hurt franco , right ? lulu : yeah , but the end result was still supposed to be carly dead . i just ca n't wrap my head around my dad getting wrapped up in that whole mess . he stumbles on carly being held hostage , then he 's held hostage , and now it 's all happening again . dante : according to jerry jacks . lulu : wait . what are you saying ? that my dad is willingly working with jerry ? dante : no , i 'm not saying that at all . i 'm just saying that the only word we 're going on right now is that of a criminal . lulu : i need to talk to tracy . i need to see if she 's gon na be able to negotiate the release of my dad . dante : well , go . lulu : [ sighs ] it 's rocco . dante : yeah , he 's sleeping . i got it covered . olivia : we all do , honey . go . do what you need to do . lulu : thank you . dante : hey . we 're gon na find out good news about your father , okay ? lulu : okay . ned : wow . i got to hand it to you , mother . this is a fresh tactic . instead of some underhanded scheme to steal my 11.5 % , you just came right out and asked for it . tracy : it 's not for me . ned : really ? who 's it for ? tracy : it 's for luke . ned , my husband 's life depends on those shares . alexis : no , we 're done . and bullying ned is n't gon na change that . julian : all right , then what will ? alexis : nothing will because you 've lied to me one too many times . julian : i did n't lie ! alexis : yes , you did . when you said you were n't plotting with luke , and then tracy saw that you were , and now to make everything worse , jerry jacks is in the mix ? julian : what ? alexis : yes . he claims to be holding luke hostage , and he claims be the man behind the curtain of your organization . so what 's it gon na be today , julian ? are you gon na tell me what 's going on or are you gon na lie to me again ? jason : i thought you said jason 's last name was morgan ? elizabeth : it was , but he was born a quartermaine . jason : you know , i saw a dr. quartermaine on my chart . elizabeth : yeah , monica . jason : i take it she and jason are related ? elizabeth : she was his mother . monica : jason died two years ago today . alice : really ? it 's already been two years ? monica : yeah . seems just like yesterday . i really never believed i would n't see him again . i miss him every single day . alice : i know you do , dr. q. i can see it . monica : [ sniffles ] really is n't fair , you know ? [ sighs ] i grieved him once . i never -- i never expected to have to do it again . alice : you mean after the accident ? monica : yeah . yes . when he became jason morgan , i thought i 'd lost him forever . i mean , tensions gradually eased . not completely . but i really think he did have some affection for me . alice : oh , yeah . i 'm sure he did . monica : alice , i would just give anything to have a little part of him back . i just want this pain to go away . jason : why does jason have a different last name than his family ? did they disown him or something ? elizabeth : oh , no . no , nothing like that . jason was the pride and joy of the quartermaine family . but he was in a terrible accident , which resulted in traumatic brain injury . when he recovered , he had no memory of who he was , where he came from . jason : yeah , like me . carly : well , i got to run . i have to plan for the wedding . tomorrow is the big day . franco : ca n't wait . carly : i ca n't , either . i really ca n't . i love you . franco : i love you , too , carly . heather : oh , no ! franco : oh , no , what ? heather : the sound of your voice . it was dripping with sincerity when you said `` i love you , too . `` you have n't changed your mind , have you ? you 're still planning revenge against carly ? elizabeth : yes , your situation is n't entirely different from jason 's . jason : [ clears throat ] did he ever recognize any of his family ? elizabeth : no . the type of injury jason sustained -- he was unable to recall any memory of his life before the accident . but he was able to make new relationships . and eventually relearned to love some of his family . jason : some ? elizabeth : the type of person jason wanted to be after the accident was very different from who he had been . it was difficult for his family to reconcile with that , but eventually they did . and jason was unapologetic for the choices he made . he did n't regret it for a second . jason : so he was happy ? elizabeth : i think so . i hope so . jason led a short , but full life . had people he loved and who loved him back -- hey . just because jason 's memory loss was permanent does n't mean yours is gon na be . jason : i 'm just trying to imagine what it would be like . to see my parents or my wife ... or my kids ... and not knowing who they are . assuming i had any , but ... if i do , they 're certainly taking their sweet time finding me . elizabeth : i told you , they might not know where to look . jason : he must have been very alone -- jason . starting his life over from scratch . elizabeth : jake . look at me . you can not compare his situation to yours . you 're not jason . alice : i never knew mr. jason as a quartermaine , but i 've seen the pictures of you all as a family and i 've heard all the stories of when he was a kid , and he wanted to be a doctor just like his parents . boy , that would have been fun . you must have been so proud of him . monica : [ sniffles ] it took us way , way too long to realize we still could be proud of him . even though he had changed , we 're still his parents . alice : he was your son , and he had to love you because of that . he loved in whatever capacity he could as jason morgan . monica : thank you for saying that . alice : well , it 's true and -- and i know for a fact that aj loved you . he told me . you were a really good mom to both your boys . do n't forget that . monica : well , i was n't good enough to keep them from being killed . and i was n't good enough to protect them from those who wanted them dead . sonny : excuse me . i got to take care of something . dante : you and shawn gon na hash out kelly 's next coffee order ? sonny : something like that , yeah . alexis : you do n't miss a beat , do you ? dante : nope . you think i have n't noticed that something 's eating at you , too ? are you just thinking about this heather webber vision ? ned : jerry jacks is holding luke hostage and he wants elq as his ransom ? tracy : i do n't think that my paltry 9 % is gon na cut it . ned : and that 's where i come in . tracy : hopefully brook lynn and dylan , too . between the four of us , i can offer mr. jacks 40 % of the company and hopefully that 's enough for him to let luke go . ned : have you lost your mind ? tracy : [ sighs ] ned , please . you have got to help me . can you live with letting jerry kill luke ? can you live with that on your conscience ? alexis : luke is somebody 's father . he 's somebody 's grandfather . he could die if he 's with jerry jacks , so would you please just tell me the truth . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : you say i 'm important to you . julian : yes . alexis : prove it . julian : alexis , i honestly do not know anything about jerry jacks holding luke hostage . alexis : [ chuckles ] okay . but you know something about jerry . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : oh , yeah . this is good times trying to pull things out of you . julian : look , alexis -- alexis : no . no . i 'm big enough to tell you all about my misguided dealings with jerry jacks that almost got me killed . you want me to give you details ? i 'll give you the details . julian : no thanks . alexis : well , i want the details from you . have you had any dealings with jerry jacks ? julian : yes . i have . sonny : what 's up ? shawn : i just got some news about franco . sonny : and ? shawn : he 's back at ferncliff with heather . sonny : [ sighs ] heather : what was that ? franco : what was what ? heather : you know exactly what i 'm talking about . `` i love you , snarly . `` franco : i did n't call her that . heather : well , you should have . franco : look , it was an act , okay ? i could n't very well let her know that i was gon na destroy her entire relationship with michael tomorrow . i had to say `` i love you . `` heather : sorry . that 's not the way i heard it . what i heard was genuine emotion ! i 've been to shrink after shrink analyzing my feelings . i know the sound of true love when i hear it . say it ! you still love carly ! franco : fine ! okay ? ! you got me ! i do ! heather : [ scoffs ] franco : i do . i do still love carly . carly : jerry jacks . are you serious ? lulu : i know , i know . carly : well , is tracy gon na be able to give him what he wants ? is jerry gon na let luke go ? lulu : i do n't know . i 'm going to talk to tracy and trying to get some more answers . carly : i am so sorry , lulu . if there 's anything i can do , will you please tell me ? lulu : yeah . i 'm sorry that i 'm laying this all on you like you do n't have enough going on right now . carly : are you kidding me ? we 're family , all right ? i always have your back -- always . lulu : well , i have your back tomorrow for the wedding . the haunted star is all set . carly : thank you . but what does the haunted star have to do with my wedding ? lulu : it 's where you 're getting married . franco made all the arrangements . did you not know that ? shawn : i was on my way out to ferncliff to spring heather , but my source called and said franco was there . sonny : i thought franco and his mother hated each other ? now , what , he visits her two days in a row ? something 's not right . carly : there must be some kind of misunderstanding . i 'm getting married at the metro court . i own the place . of course i would get married there . and franco knows this . lulu : franco came to me and he booked the place . i -- oh , crap . carly : what ? lulu : [ sighs ] franco said that he wanted to surprise you . carly : i 'm surprised , yeah . why on earth would franco want to get married at the haunted star ? heather : this is such bad news , franco . franco : carly hated me for a long time . hated me . she wanted me dead . heather : remember that . franco : and when she came around , it -- it 's hard for me to explain it to you . she -- she made me feel like i was a human being . that i was n't the monster that everybody thinks that i am . heather : monster ? how about artistic genius ? franco : and she believed in me , and that -- that allowed me to believe in myself . when she stood up for me , she took a chance on me when nobody else would take a chance on me , and we were good , and we were in love , and i am still very much in love with carly . i love carly with all of my heart and soul . sonny : got another problem . shawn : what 's that ? sonny : [ sighs ] after olivia had that vision , dante promised to go check on heather webber . and he 's on it . shawn : so what do you want me to do ? sonny : [ sighs ] franco : after everything carly 's done for me , how could i hurt her ? heather : are you saying you do n't want revenge ? are you calling it off ? shawn : you want me to call off the hit on franco ? alexis : so , jerry jacks is an associate of yours . julian : i 've known him for years . you ca n't be in this business without rubbing shoulders with jerry jacks at some point . alexis : how recently have you rubbed shoulders ? julian : a year ago . maybe . i was in the metro court lobby , having drinks with ava . all of a sudden , we heard this huge crash outside . i ran into the alley and there was jerry jacks lying on the ground . he fell from the roof . would have died if it was n't for some well - placed awning . alexis : or not so well placed . julian : anyway , that was the last time i saw him . hand to god . you have to believe me , alexis . dante : look , i told you i 'd look into the heather webber thing . i 'll make sure she 's where she 's supposed to be . olivia : where is that ? six feet under ? dante : yeah , that 'd be good . but ferncliff is the place for now , so just relax , okay ? olivia : it 's not just heather i 'm worried about . dante : all right , then what else is there ? olivia : this . tracy : come on , ned . admit it . you 'll never forgive yourself if jerry kills luke and you could have stopped it . ned : and grandfather would never forgive me if i handed over my shares of elq to that monster . i wo n't do that to him . or to michael . tracy : oh , really ? and when did michael corinthos evoke such loyalty ? ned : since he 's a part of this family . this company means too much to him . it 's actually helped him heal after he lost aj . tracy : i 'll buy him a puppy . how 's that ? ned : not to mention elq is thriving under his leadership . tracy : yeah , with you playing puppet master , guiding his every move . ned : that 's not true . i have acted as a consultant on certain matters . michael is definitely running the company -- to all of our benefit . you through jerry jacks in the mix , the whole thing blows up . so i 'm sorry . my answer is no . as for dylan and brook lynn , if you want their shares , ask them yourself . tracy : you 're unbelievable , ned ! you would n't have a stake in this company if it were n't for me ! i gave you everything -- everything ! as opposed to your father , lord larry ashton , who gave you nothing but a phony title . ned : oh , nice try ! throwing my father into the mix ! my mind is made up . i wish you luck . but the truth is ... i do n't give a damn about luke . tracy : what am i gon na do ? how am i gon na get my hands on my shares ? [ creaking ] jason : um ... what is that ? elizabeth : a wheelchair . jason : tell me it is n't for me . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i ca n't . because it is . jason : [ chuckles ] no , i do n't think so . elizabeth : oh , come on . why not ? jason : i 'd rather walk . that 's why . elizabeth : no , it 's too soon . too soon . jason : you wo n't know until i try it . elizabeth : are you kidding me ? i had to beg and plead your doctor just to authorize the wheelchair . jason : [ sighs ] okay . i really appreciate what you 're doing here . i do , and i do n't want to -- elizabeth : you 're going to stop arguing and just cooperate with me . come on . it 'll be good for you to get out of this room for awhile , get out of your head . come on . okay , look . i feel really bad about bringing up all the jason stuff . i know that did n't make you feel any better about your situation , so this is just me trying to make it up to you . please ? please ? jason : wow . you are smart . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jason : turning it around so now i 'm doing you the favor . elizabeth : is it working ? jason : sure . kick me out of the bed . i 'm sure you 're not the only woman to do it . elizabeth : geez , do n't sell yourself short . jason : [ clears throat ] elizabeth : you know , um , hmm . maybe i 'll go get an orderly to give you a hand . jason : no , no , no . i can do it . elizabeth : are you sure ? jason : yeah , i can do it . elizabeth : okay . let 's do it . hold on . got to get this off . okay . jason : here we go . elizabeth : okay . right ? ohh . jason : okay , okay . elizabeth : i 'm gon na take that as a no . [ stammers ] jason : i guess i could use a hand . elizabeth : okay . are you ready ? jason : yeah , let 's do it . elizabeth : okay . just easy . just go slow . go slow . go slow . you okay ? you 're doing -- whoa . jason : dancing here . elizabeth : you okay ? jason : [ chuckles ] well ... look at me . i 'm -- i 'm standing . elizabeth : yes , you are . jason : [ clears throat ] elizabeth : you 're stronger than you look . jason : mm . is that a compliment ? elizabeth : uh , yes . jason : well , thank you . elizabeth : okay . you ready ? i 'm gon na back you up into your chair . jason : i can back up . ready ? elizabeth : yep . let 's do it . jason : beep , beep . elizabeth : easy , easy , easy . beautiful ! jason : mm - hmm ! elizabeth : [ chuckles ] you good ? jason : yeah , i 'm good . elizabeth : yeah ? okay . all right . all right , i 'm just gon na unlock you . ready to go ? jason : yeah . elizabeth : okay . jason : okay . nice wheels . elizabeth : it 's how we roll at gh . jason : ooh , crash - test dummy . elizabeth : you 're good . jason : you know , i was already in a car accident . elizabeth : trust me . i 'm a good driver . jason : [ chuckles ] right . so where we headed ? elizabeth : i want to show you the jessie brewer wing . she was an amazing woman , an incredible nurse . jason : elizabeth . elizabeth : yeah ? what ? yes ? are you okay ? are you in pain ? jason : no , actually . this is the best i 've felt since i woke up . thank you . tracy : alice ! look at you ! back on your feet , hale and hearty as you were before your heart attack . monica : who let you in ? tracy : i did . monica : you do n't live here anymore . and in case there is any misunderstanding , you 're not welcome here . tracy : monica , i think you 're overreacting . monica : excuse me ? you tried to buy this woman 's silence by promising her a new heart . tracy : that is n't even close to the whole story . monica : oh , you brow - beat a very sick woman so you and your degenerate husband could rob elq from michael . she could have died ! tracy : but she did n't . luke , on the other hand ... monica : what ? what are you talking about ? tracy : jerry jacks is gon na kill my husband if i do n't give him what he wants . monica : [ scoffs ] julian : all right , i will swear on whatever you want me to swear on . i have had no contact with jerry jacks since the night he fell off the roof . now say you believe me . alexis : i want to . julian : then do it . alexis : you know , you have kind of a lousy track record with this honesty thing lately . or ever . julian : i 'm sorry about the past . i am telling you the truth . alexis : so jerry is n't calling the shots for the jeromes ? ned : there he is . julian : [ sighs ] ned : i saw your car out front . alexis : i just need two more seconds . ned : get rid of him . julian : you know , hold on . i have something to tell alexis . dante : ned ashton and monica quartermaine . i thought that was , uh , ancient history . olivia : it is . actually , ned 's seeing alexis now . dante : that bothers you ? olivia : no . i mean , a little . okay , more than a little . dante : all right , ma , i 'm confused . olivia : well , join the club . dante : well , no , you said you were the one who turned him down when he asked you out . olivia : well , yeah , i thought it was too soon after my breakup with sonny , but ... i told him we should just be friends . dante : and now you want more than that ? shawn : well , say the word and i 'll back off franco . sonny : can you get around heather 's security , even though dante 's sniffing around ? shawn : of course . i 'll make it out . sonny : i mean , i hate to do this behind , you know , carly 's back , but ... shawn : i know . sonny : we do n't got another option . i mean , you know , she 's fooling herself , saying she loves him , and she does n't love franco . she 's just marrying him to keep him quiet about aj . shawn : yeah . sonny : she 's only staying with that scum to protect michael and me . she 's -- she 's throwing her life away . i can not let that happen . so if that that means killing franco ... got to do what i got to do . lulu : okay , i guess the haunted star goes with the halloween theme in name ? i guess ? carly : yeah , i -- [ sighs ] lulu : maybe franco likes the haunted star , and that 's where he had his reveal party or whatever we 're calling that . carly : oh , come on . how crazy was that night ? i mean , all those videos he played trying to convince us that he was n't the psycho that we thought he was . i did n't buy it for one second . lulu : and now you do ? carly : with everything in me . franco 's a good man , and i 'm lucky to have him . lulu : okay , well , that must be it . that must be why franco is insisting on having the wedding there , because ... you two have come full circle . franco : i do n't know what i want . i know what i did want . i know i wanted to spend the rest of my life with carly , because she loves me and she makes me a better person , and i want it to stay that way . heather : wrong and wrong . she does n't love you . she just told you what you wanted to hear . and you gobbled it up , like the hungry man that you were . you were vulnerable , franco ! and she took advantage of that . she lured you in . franco : why ? why would she do something like that ? heather : every woman dreams of taming the beast . and that 's exactly what she did . she turned you into a man who would n't dare hurt her or her family . she 'd love you . she subdued you . and then she hopped in bed with her ex . and laughed about rendering you impotent . franco : you 're right . heather : of course i am . franco : she does n't love me . she loves sonny . she 's loyal to sonny . that 's the only reason she agreed to marry me . so i 'd keep my mouth shut . heather : about what ? what did sonny do ? monica : you want me to turn over my shares of elq to the man who killed alan ? tracy : monica , i loved my brother as much as you . but these are the cards we 've been dealt . we have to play them . it 's the only way to save luke . monica : yes , well i have seen luke 's true colors , and he is as cold and ruthless as the man that murdered my husband . tracy : monica , please have a heart ! tracy : luke did n't . why should i ? tracy : [ sighs ] alice . alice : what ? tracy : alice , i realize that my behavior when you were sick was -- alice : reprehensible ? tracy : that is as good a word as any , but i -- i did it for luke , because i love him , and you love him , too . so just think about him being held captive by jerry jacks . alice : i hate jerry jacks . he killed my buddy , cook . tracy : i know . and he will kill luke if you do n't give me your shares of elq . please , alice , do it for luke . julian : this business with jacks -- stay out of it , alexis . he is a dangerous man . alexis : you think ? julian : promise me . alexis : take him away . julian : no need . i 'll see myself out . if you do n't believe anything else i 'm saying , you believe this . i love you . ned : are you all right ? olivia : okay , yeah . dante : `` okay , yeah `` what , ma ? olivia : okay , yeah , maybe i do wish there was a little something more between ned and me . but we just -- we just -- we kind of get each other , you know ? we kind of click . dante : that 's good . alexis : yeah , we like the same kind of movies . we 're both taking the same mixed martial arts class at volonino 's gym . dante : that all sounds very compatible . olivia : he 's totally hot . dante : that 's awesome , too . olivia : he 's hot in a kind of a corporate way , but i think maybe i missed my chance . dante : okay , why ? because he 's seeing alexis ? look , ma , no disrespect to her , but he 's probably just waiting for you to come around , so why do n't you just go tell him how you feel ? alexis : what if i go tell him how i feel and he says he 's not into me anymore ? dante : all right , then you 'll be no worse off than you are right now . olivia : but i would be worse off because then i lost him as a friend . dante : oh , i know , it 's risky , right ? but it 's a risk you 're gon na have to take . olivia : are you just gon na get up and leave ? dante : yeah , 'cause i got to go look into heather webber for you , okay ? and you got to go talk to ned . [ sighs ] sonny : killing franco spares carly and it spares me , too . shawn : with franco out of the picture , no one will ever know what you did to aj . sonny : let 's be real for a second , shawn . i killed an innocent man , one who my son loved . he begged me not to hurt him . i do n't know if i 'll ever make peace with that . carly : good luck with luke . please , please keep me in the loop . lulu : i will . good luck with the wedding . i ca n't believe you 're getting married tomorrow ! carly : me either ! [ laughs ] bye . lulu : bye . elizabeth : this is our assembly room . jason : it looks more like an art studio . elizabeth : yeah , well , it 's been appropriated by one of obrecht 's prized worker bees . jason : she actually likes someone ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] he 's more demented than she is . makes her feel better about herself . i still ca n't believe franco actually sees patients here . jason : his name is franco ? elizabeth : have you heard of him ? heather : i know carly had an ulterior motive for accepting your proposal . what does she want you to keep quiet about ? franco : you 'll have to wait until tomorrow . but i 've got the whole sordid affair on video , and it will air at the wedding . heather : which is where ? that stuffy metro court ? franco : oh , no , no , no . that 's the first of carly 's many surprises . i changed the venue . it 's the haunted star . heather : oh , fitting for halloween . franco : yeah , but it 's not just that . the haunted star is the first place where i had a chance to prove to carly and everybody else that i did n't do the things they thought i did . that i might actually be a decent human being , not just jason morgan 's evil twin . jason : franco . sounds familiar . elizabeth : i guess that 's not surprising . i mean , he is famous . or i should say he 's infamous . he used to be a notorious criminal . jason : used to be ? elizabeth : yeah , the charges were dropped due to a brain condition . claims he 's a changed man . jason : but you do n't believe it . elizabeth : i do n't know . he also claims since he 's been healed he 's lost all of his artistic genius . but i was never really a fan of his work , anyway . jason : so , uh , you 're into art ? elizabeth : yeah . once upon a time , i dreamed about going to art school . i had a studio and everything . i 'd go there to paint all the time . but then , you know , life just kind of got in the way . i 'm a single mom of two kids . i do n't really have time anymore . jason : show me . elizabeth : show you what ? jason : i only know you as a nurse . let me see you as an artist . heather : you should be thrilled that you 're not jason 's twin -- evil or otherwise . you 're my son . your own man . and tomorrow we 're gon na show everybody in the world that no one messes with you . speaking of which ... when are you getting me out of here ? franco : oh , well , i ca n't spring you while i 'm on the grounds . i 'd be the first suspect . but , i 've convinced a staffer to lend a hand . heather : you could talk the birds out of the trees . franco : soon as i 'm out of here , they 'll sneak you out . and do whatever he says , okay ? no questions asked . i 'll see you tomorrow . heather : it 's gon na be the best wedding ever . franco : hope so . heather : i know so . carly 's gon na be so sorry she never loved you . franco : not as sorry as i am . elizabeth : you want me to just start painting ? jason : yeah , why not ? elizabeth : i do n't know . that 's kind of embarrassing . jason : well , i 'm not gon na judge you . [ cell phone beeps ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . it 's a patient . um ... okay , i got to go , but do you want to hang out here ? i can call and have someone take you back to your room ? jason : that 's okay . i can manage . oh , yeah . elizabeth : with a broken arm ? jason : [ sighs ] i 'll call somebody . elizabeth : okay , but will you ? or are you gon na be crazy and try to walk back to your room ? jason : and risk falling flat on my brand - new face ? no , i will call . i promise . elizabeth : if i find out you 've collapsed , you 're gon na be in big trouble . jason : oh , yes , ma'am . elizabeth : okay . jason : thank you for the tour . elizabeth : anytime . jason : hey , elizabeth . elizabeth : yes ? jason : do n't think you 're getting off the hook about painting me something . tracy : alice , thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you ! you wo n't regret it ! alice : i did n't do it for you . i did it for mr. luke . tracy : i know . i know , and hopefully that 15.5 % will be enough for jerry jacks . alice : i hope so , too . so , when is mr. luke coming home ? tracy : i 'll let you know as soon as i hear anything . alice : okay . okay . thank you . [ cell phone ringing ] alexis : i 'm fine . ned : you do n't need to cover with me . alexis : i 'm sorry you got mixed up in that . he had no right to threaten you . i 'm surprised i did n't walk in when he was pounding his chest . ned : oh , he did that just before you arrived . hey . it 's been a long time since i went to blows over the woman . alexis : you sorry that woman is me ? ned : never . alexis : you 're pretty terrific . you know that ? ned : so are you . alexis : [ chuckles ] ned : [ sighs ] franco : you 're clear on what to do ? mr. beach : crystal . it does n't matter how secure this place is . always someone willing to take a bribe . franco : ai n't that the truth . pleasure doing business with you . mr. beach : likewise . [ cell phone rings ] mr. beach : hello ? dante : yeah , hello , mr. beach . mr. beach : yes . dante : it 's detective falconeri with the pcpd . mr. beach : what can i do for you , detective ? dante : well , sir , i was calling in regards to heather webber . i was hoping she was still where she 's supposed to be -- locked up under high security . mr. beach : absolutely . under guard and locked up tight . dante : great . thank you very much . mr. beach : no problem . locked up , but not for -- [ grunts ] sonny : i wonder if you can hear me , jason . i like to think you can . you know i 'm doing everything i can to fix this . i want to make it right for michael and for carly . she 's in big trouble . this thing with franco , it 's got her all twisted , lying to herself . trying to get through to her , but you know carly . does n't like to admit she 's wrong . maybe to you . if you can somehow ... reach out to her . and be the friend she needs . carly : franco ? you in there ? heather : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] heather : hello there . shawn : you 're coming with me . carly : franco ? sonny : oh , my god . carly : franco ? sonny : oh , my god . [ next_on ] carly : ( to jason ) do i know you from somewhere ? tracy : ( to lulu ) it may not be your father . lulu : ( on the phone ) hi , daddy ? rosalie : ( to michael ) there 's something i need to tell you . nina : ( to franco ) what do you have up your sleeve for your wedding ? kiki : ( to ava ) sonny 's not the only one looking for you . jerry : ( on the phone ) do we have a deal or no deal ? sonny : ( to the mystery woman ) oh , my god .
lulu tells carly about jerry jacks holding luke hostage . she spoils franco 's surprise by telling carly that he booked the haunted star for the wedding instead of the metro court . shawn tells sonny that franco went to see heather again . heather confronts franco about still being in love with carly . he admits that he is . he says he realizes that carly loves sonny and that she is only marrying him to ensure that he keeps his mouth shut . he tells heather that she will have to wait until the big reveal to find out what he is n't supposed to say . he tells her that he convinced one of the staff to get her out and tells her to just do what he says , no questions asked . dante calls ferncliff and asks about heather . the staff member franco paid off to break heather out assures dante that she is locked up and under guard . shawn knocks the man out and goes to get heather . heather willingly goes with him , thinking he 's franco 's man .
spinelli : i would have presented you with your gift at the ceremony , but , sadly , i was ... unaware of the occasion . curse the beleaguered postal service for mislaying my invitation . [ chuckles ] michael : it 's okay , spinelli . carly : you did not have to do this . sonny : you really did n't . carly : oh , heavy . let 's see . wow . sonny : yeah . michael : is -- is that a bocce ball ? spinelli : indeed it is , young sir . it 's an elegant game from a much more civilized time . and the beauty of it is that you can play it standing up or sitting down or ... sonny : what are you trying to say there ? michael : uh , i think spinelli 's just giving a gift to his very good friends . spinelli : yes , absolutely . uh , mr. sir , you know , your condition being what it is , i just thought maybe you -- you thought what ? sonny : that i was n't gon na walk again ? well , you 're wrong , 'cause this is temporary . there 's no way in hell that i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] paul : i apologize for keeping you waiting . it seems that crime never sleeps in this town . sabrina : that 's okay . paul : what can i do for you ? sabrina : i want to know what you 've done with carlos rivera . [ scene_break ] jordan : anna ? what are you doing in here ? [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : and , you , get me more streamers . do i have to do everything around here ? felix : and who 's idea was it to invite the wicked witch ? dr. obrecht : we do n't have much time , people . schnell ! schnell ! felix : `` be gone before somebody drops a house on you . `` epiphany : play nice . felix : give me one good reason . epiphany : we like our jobs , remember ? you ca n't have a party at gh without the chief of staff 's approval . felix : [ sighs ] i did n't expect a coup d'état . this was supposed to be fun . epiphany : do n't worry . we worked too hard on elizabeth 's surprise bridal shower to let anyone ruin it . felix : uh - huh . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : good morning , my love . how long have you been awake ? jason : well , long enough to enjoy the peace and quiet . elizabeth : mm . yeah , we have a house full of boys . quiet is n't good . i 'm gon na go check on them . jason : probably not . hey , hey , hey . it 's my turn . i 'll check on them . just as soon as we check on ourselves . elizabeth : [ laughs ] jason : okay ? what do you think ? only take a minute . promise . hi . [ scene_break ] patrick : you got jake 's medical files ? sam : yeah . yeah , like you said , i just needed his permission . patrick : so , what do you think ? sam : i think it 's amazing that someone could survive a trauma like this . patrick : what exactly are you trying to find with these x - rays , sam ? sam : jake 's true face . spinelli came up with a novel way to id jake . patrick : if anybody 's gon na figure it out , it 's gon na be spinelli . uh , if you need a doctor 's opinion , i 'm available for you . sam : thank you . i mean , really , thank you for your patience while i work on this . i appreciate it . patrick : well , to be honest , i have my own agenda . sam : oh , yeah . what 's that ? patrick : the sooner you can figure out who jake is and the sooner we can let go of this part and start our own life and plan our wedding . sam : oh . believe me , i have not forgotten that . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : morning , sleepyhead . are you ready for breakfast ? jake : grandma 's here . jason : wow . uh , you know what ? i knew we were gon na push our luck when the sun came up . i 'm gon na get their breakfast going . elizabeth : did he seem okay to you ? jason : w - well , okay how ? he looked a little upset . elizabeth : um , i do n't know . laura said something the other day . it was just ... [ sighs ] never mind . jason : no . hey . do n't `` never mind . `` what 's going on ? elizabeth : you realize we almost got caught . jason : i do . elizabeth : [ laughs ] jason : like teenagers . elizabeth : i know . jason : and this is what got us in trouble in the first place . you 've got to go . elizabeth : oh , i have my yearly performance review with dr. obrecht . [ squeals ] i do n't want to be late . i got to go . love you . jason : love you , too . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm dying to see pictures of georgie , okay ? spinelli : mm - hmm . carly : [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] michael : you know he 's just trying to make you feel a little better . sonny : mike , i just do n't feel like hearing it right now . spinelli : a thousand apologies . i never meant -- never meant to upset anyone . carly : i know . sonny 's just still trying to wrap his head around his condition . spinelli : um , forgive me if i 'm overstepping , but ... is the condition temporary ? carly : [ sighs ] there 's no way to predict . some people with sonny 's condition walk again . others do n't . sonny 's determined to walk . i 'm sure the next time you come back , he 'll be in a better mood . spinelli : alas , i might not be able to make anymore social calls before concluding my work and i , you know , head back to portland . carly : what kind of work ? spinelli : uh , just a pressing matter for jake and sam . [ scene_break ] sabrina : i 'm actually here on behalf of carlos ' parents . i promised to arrange to have their son transported back to puerto rico , but i keep getting sent from one office to another . paul : ah , i appreciate how difficult this must be for you . sabrina : oh , this is n't about me . this is about carlos ' parents . they need to put their son to rest . paul : i understand . and if i could help , i would be down at the morgue right now . but i 'm afraid , um , that simply wo n't be possible . [ scene_break ] jordan : you know that this is a restricted area , right ? anna : yeah , i 'm aware . jordan : clearly , it did n't stop you . anna : oh , i can make up a story as to why i 'm here . jordan : the truth . the truth is always better . anna : uh , i guess i owe you that . i want to see rivera 's body . jordan : for closure ? anna : if there is such a thing . look , i know i do n't have any official standing . if you want me to leave , i can . jordan : i know what carlos cost you , and i can bend the rules a little bit . enough to at least look at his body , right ? where is he ? let me double - check the sheet . oh , better yet . donald . donald : yes , commissioner ? jordan : question -- ms. devane and i , we were trying to look for a body that 's not in its assigned drawer . can you -- can you help us ? donald : sure . who 's the deceased . anna : carlos rivera . jordan : we 're trying to look at his remains . donald : i 'm sorry , commissioner . there are no remains . jordan : what ? donald : carlos rivera was cremated . jordan : cremated ? on whose authority ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : cremated ? when did this happen ? paul : last night . i personally signed off on the order . sabrina : y - you had no right ! paul : actually , um , as district attorney , uh , it is within the scope of my office . sabrina : carlos ' parents were expecting to give their son a proper burial , and what am i supposed to tell his mother now ? she 's gon na be completely devastated . paul : i truly apologize for this mix - up . sabrina : mix - up ? you think that -- [ sighs ] this is a little bit more than a mix - up , do n't you think ? paul : ms. santiago , every attempt was made to contact mr. rivera 's parents in puerto rico . we had no success in locating his family . sabrina : look , all you had to do was contact me . paul : i ca n't tell you how sorry i am for this mistake . sabrina : sus pobres padres . paul : y - you are welcome to collect , uh , his cremains at the morgue . but beyond that , there 's nothing left of carlos rivera . [ scene_break ] michael : i got called into the pd yesterday . sonny : what for ? michael : well , commissioner ashford and , um , da hornsby , they ... they think you had carlos rivera killed , and they wanted me to confirm it . [ scene_break ] carly : i can not believe that nikolas ran a dna test on jake . spinelli : yeah , i know . a most unsettling breach of privacy . carly : especially since he did n't find a match . spinelli : well , see , i would speculate that the opposite is true . i bet there was a match for jake , but prince cassadine took care to eradicate the proof . carly : eradicate it how ? if it 's on a computer somewhere , you 're gon na find it . spinelli : yeah , i 'm actually thinking a much more direct solution . carly : oh , tell me . spinelli : i would if i could , but i 'm here under samantha 's request . when she explained that she was trying to solve the riddle of jake 's true identity , you know , the least i could do was heed her siren call . carly : okay , fine , fine . do n't tell me . all that matters is you 're trying to help jake find out who he is , and i 'm sure he 's grateful . and i 'm grateful . spinelli : [ gasps ] oh . [ both chuckle ] [ scene_break ] jason : hey , listen . do you want to go to her surprise shower ? i mean , i could stay with the boys . laura : you know what ? i think that having an ex - mother - in - law there would be a little bit awkward for her . besides , i 've really been looking forward to spending time with the grandkids . jason : whatever you say . laura : and there she is . elizabeth : hi , laura . laura : hi . elizabeth : thank you so much for coming over today . laura : oh , it 's my pleasure . i was just telling jake how much i 've been looking forward to it . elizabeth : well , you know those boys can be a little rambunctious , so do n't let them run roughshod over you . laura : oh , do n't worry about me . i 'm no pushover . elizabeth : come on . let 's go . jason : yeah . elizabeth : do n't want to be late . jason : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : you got your jacket ? jason : grab your jacket . elizabeth : yeah , i have it . jason : yes , ma'am . all right , bye . bye . i 'm telling ya , the coffee 's good .

[ scene_break ] sonny : the da questioned you about carlos ' death . michael : i was the one who reported carlos as a potential suspect . sonny : do you see now , michael , why i do n't want you involved in my business ? michael : look , i told them i had no idea who shot carlos , and i told them that i have nothing else to say without my attorney . sonny : how did they react ? michael : they were n't thrilled , but they were n't surprised . this was n't about me . they were trying to send you a message . they think that you were behind rivera 's death . sonny : i 'm not . and i 've been assured that none of my people took matters into their own hands . michael : no , none of our people shot carlos . and , look , if rivera shot you , he was acting on julian or ava 's orders . and they turned around , and they killed him before he could give them up . [ scene_break ] anna : oh , hi , sabrina . is that ... sabrina : i 'm gon na make sure that carlos gets back home to his parents in puerto rico . it 's the last thing i could do for him . anna : i understand . i did the same for duke . i took him home . i 'm so sorry . for what it 's worth . sabrina : you 're sorry ? are you sorry for my pain , or are you sorry , because carlos is dead , and he 's not able to pay for what he 's done ? anna : oh , my opinion of carlos and his actions , that has no bearing on your grief . sabrina : i know that carlos did terrible things , but he was also capable of kindness and generosity . anna : oh , i 'm sure he was . the worst amongst us are capable of good . and even the best amongst us are capable of harm . sabrina : i know that he was a criminal , and i understand that ... that he deserved to go to prison for what he did . but i also know in my heart that he did n't deserve to die . anna : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jordan : who the hell do you think you are ? paul : good morning , commissioner , to you , too . to what do i owe this -- jordan : this is the second time that you 've interfered with my investigation . paul : i 'm not sure i know what you 're referring to . jordan : i was just at the morgue with anna devane ... following up on the carlos rivera case , and i was informed that you ordered for carlos ' remains to be cremated . paul : that 's correct . jordan : this is an ongoing investigation , and you broke protocol . and you may have just destroyed evidence that could 've actually brought us to carlos ' killer . [ scene_break ] anna : oh , donald , thank you so much for coming back . donald : no problem . i apologize again for the confusion . once we receive the paperwork , we process the body accordingly . anna : it 's not your fault . it was a miscommunication between the pd and the da 's office . i mean , it 's not the first time it 's happened , is it ? lord knows it wo n't be the last . i wonder if you can help me clear up something . donald : happy to try . anna : i need a copy of rivera 's autopsy report .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : you are correct . there is the question of what happens if we do n't recognize the face that we create for jake . sam : what is your solution ? spinelli : once the reverse engineering is done , we run the image through facial recognition software linked to the dmv database . it will look for any possible matches . sam : okay , well , that means that jake would 've had to have had a new york license . spinelli : it 's a starting point . [ scene_break ] jason : ma'am . elizabeth : we 're home . everything go okay ? laura : uh ... no , actually . we had a little bit of an incident . um , you know what ? i have to get going home , but maybe you could step outside with me on the porch , so that we could just talk for a minute ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , of course . laura : okay , great . bye - bye , little jake . jake : bye , grandma . jason : see you guys in a minute . whoosh ! [ grunts ] hey , buddy . what are you doing there ? jake : coloring . jason : oh , yeah ? staying in the lines ? hey , uh ... got to ask you a question . what happened earlier ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i told cam to be careful with that mask . laura : i think he just wanted to play with his brother , but i do think he 's all right . it 's little jake that i 'm worried about . i think it 's pretty obvious that he 's having a hard time adjusting to living here with the family . elizabeth : okay . okay . thank you for letting me know , but i 'll handle it . laura : okay . okay . come on , hon . i 'll see you later . elizabeth : all right . thanks . laura : mm - hmm . elizabeth : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i get it . you know , if you do n't want to tell me what happened , it 's okay . but can -- can i borrow this for a second ? i need you to hear me . i 'm always gon na be here for you . jake : no , you 're not . you went away this morning . jason : okay , hey , man , we talked about that . i dropped your mother off at her surprise party . i came right back . jake : please do n't go away again , daddy . jason : daddy ? i like that . i do like that . i can not wait to be your stepdad as soon as i marry your mother . laura : i just wish he could know that . i wish -- elizabeth : little jake does n't care about jason 's previous life . and you know what ? neither do i. jake is little jake 's father , and i am his mother , and we are giving our son everything he needs . jake : but you are my real daddy . i know it .

elizabeth is ready to marry jake and wants patrick to stand up at her wedding . jake tells carly he wants her to do the same . meanwhile , sonny is still in his hospital room urging michael not to put himself in danger . michael assures his father everything will be ok and that there will be a `` new addition `` to their family . meanwhile , sabrina is having reservations about having a baby and does not reveal whether the baby is actually michael 's or carlos ' . she goes to find out that da hornsby has had her former fiancé cremated without making any effort to contact his family or find out anything about the cause of death . jordan discovers the same thing and knows the new da is clearly hindering her investigation and may have a good reason not to have anyone find out the truth of how carlos got killed or who killed him . meanwhile , anna knows she needs to cover her tracks so she goes to the morgue to find out the status of carlos . nobody suspects her while she persuades an attendant to let her see the remains and autopsy report . yet she notices that carlos ' body and murder investigation was either falsified or got switched with that of someone else . nobody except paul knows that sloane is dead and paul murdered him . spinelli is determined to not give up in finding out who jake really is . however , while he 's with sam working on the computer , obrecht at the it staff find out there has been a breech of security where `` someone `` has hacked into the hospital network . jordan and the cops instantly identify spinelli and they go to sam and patrick 's home to arrest him . little jake is still a `` mystery `` to elizabeth , to jake and to laura . when he 's alone with jake , we find out that he has overheard his mom and grandma 's private conversation about knowing that his new stepfather jake is really his deceased father jason morgan .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i 'll get that for you . elizabeth : i was beginning to think i would n't find it . sonny : you want to be alone ? elizabeth : no , no , that 's ok . i 'm all tied up in knots right now anyway . i wanted so badly to know whether lucky or jason is the father of this baby , and now all of a sudden i do n't . sonny : you can put it off if you want , you know . elizabeth : no , i -- i have to know -- so i can figure out what to do next . [ scene_break ] ric : i 'm not going to continually take flak for not being the one who 's close to you , ok , because the fact of the matter is you do n't want anybody close to you . you 're going to do everything , you 're going to make every excuse in the world to not have me close to you -- you 're going to use the girls , you 'll use work , you 'll even use your cancer . so why do n't you just come out and say it , alexis ? you ca n't stand the sight of me . alexis : i ca n't . ric : right , because i 'm not sonny . because every time you look at me , you see the one that got away , right , and somehow that 's my fault . alexis : every time i look at you , i see you having sex with my daughter . ric : i do n't know what you heard , alexis -- alexis : it 's not what i heard , ric . it 's what i saw with my own eyes -- you and my daughter having sex right over there on the floor . [ scene_break ] skye : i ca n't believe i 'm holding my baby . this was n't supposed to happen . lorenzo : no , i think you 're wrong . this was very much meant to be . oh ! luke : it 's ok , little mama . luke 's here . let 's complete the mission . [ scene_break ] emily : colleen worked for five different families since she became a nanny . listen to me . two of the men she worked for died , and the third disappeared without a trace . what can you say about that ? nikolas : well , where -- where did you get this information ? emily : stan . he 's sonny and jason 's computer guy . nikolas : oh . emily : he 's this technological genius . he 'd have no reason to lie to me . nikolas : i 'm not -- i 'm not saying that he 's lying to you , but he may not know if it 's false information planted by helena for me to find . emily : why -- why would helena bother ? nikolas : for the same reason she probably poisoned alfred or tampered with my saddle -- to isolate me from the people i trust so she can replace them with her own choices . now , so far , colleen has refused to be intimidated by helena . i believe she probably just saved my life . why would you believe helena over anyone ? emily : because colleen 's story does n't make sense . helena wants to manipulate you , not -- not smother you while you 're in bed . nikolas : why are you so determined to think the worst of colleen ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's a relief to finally know . it 's what i expected . sonny : i 'm not surprised you 're feeling this way . i mean , lucky 's an addict . it 's not -- it 's hard to tell what kind of father he 's going to be . elizabeth : he 's committed to getting clean . sonny : you know , i 've known lucky since he was a kid , and considering what he 's been through in his life , it 's amazing he 's not more screwed up . but what i do know is that at the heart of lucky , there 's a man who knows the value of family . elizabeth : yeah -- when he 's not taking drugs . sonny : assuming lucky stays clean , i -- i think you and your children are better off . and the reason i say that is because jason 's not ready to have a family . his work is incredibly dangerous , and a baby would just make it worse . elizabeth : you 're right . it 's for the best . [ scene_break ] ric : sam and i were here together the night of the blackout . i 'm sure you remember it was incredibly hot . alexis : is that why you felt compelled to take your clothes off ? ric : we 'd had a really horrible day . we were very upset , very angry at -- at the world . alexis : and at me , apparently . ric : yeah , well , you did n't help . look , alexis , i admit things got a little intense between me and sam , but it was n't -- alexis : intense ? intense ? is that how you describe what you did with my daughter ? it was sex , ric . sex . why do n't you just say it the way it is ? ric : you know , do n't lecture me on honesty , because if you saw anything resembling what you say you did that night , then you -- you 've lied about that for how many weeks now ? alexis : 10 . ric : yeah . alexis : 10 weeks . it was 10 weeks ago that i saw you having sex with my daughter . it was the night after i was diagnosed with cancer . you tend not to forget those things . ric : right , your diagnosis -- yet another thing that you lied to me about . alexis : what ? ric : the diagnosis -- you remember that ? that was something else that you lied to me about ? alexis : my time 's at a premium , ric , and you are on a very slippery slope . you want to continue down that path -- ric : you know what ? i 'm not denying what i did . alexis : admit what you did . ric : i admit what i did . why are you doing this now ? alexis : because it is way past time for the truth . you want to hear all the gory details ? i just found out i had cancer . it was probably the lowest point in my life . and i wanted to go home , to our home , you know , that home where we raise our children . i was looking for my family . well , i found them , all right -- doing something so inconceivable , so unthinkable that no matter how hard i try , i ca n't erase it from my mind . you and my daughter having sex is seared into my brain in all of its intense and disgusting detail . it was hateful . it was unforgivable . ric : ok , that 's enough . alexis : i just do n't know how you could 've done -- i just -- i will never understand how you could 've done something -- ric : how could i have done that ? right , of course . how could i have done that ? of course . how could you have done that , alexis ? you 've known for how many weeks already , and you said nothing ! you know what ? i 'm an adulterer , fine , but you 're a hypocrite . alexis : do n't you dare make this my fault . ric : oh , sure . yeah , why should you have to take any of the blame , right ? it 's all me . i mean , we 're so happy in our marriage , right ? that -- why should i ever find comfort with someone else ? alexis : it was my daughter , you ass ! ric : yes , whom you had just insulted and rejected ! i know the feeling . alexis : oh , great -- sex as revenge , ric . what a charming family tradition . ric : ok , that 's great , alexis . yeah , just -- good . be glib -- that 's exactly what you 're good at . what do you expect ? you 're a cold , distant woman who could only love her children . why ? because you can control them . you manipulate people , alexis . and you call it love based on what you think is best for them , never mind what they think . alexis : oh . yeah . huh . see , that 's an excuse that i never anticipated . i 'm the bitch , and you 're the victim ? ric : no , no , no . alexis : oh . ric : of course not . you 're -- you 're the victim , alexis , right ? you 're always the victim . you shut down on me , alexis ! you became dismissive . no matter what i did , good or bad , i became nothing more than a warm body across the room . i became a father to your children . when i saw you with the mayor , i jumped to the obvious conclusion . because i never thought that you would go to that pompous ass and confide in him , rather than coming to me and tell me that you had cancer ! alexis : i was struggling with my own mortality , ric . it never occurred to me that you would use that as an excuse to sleep with my daughter . ric : yes , but you kept pushing me towards sam , right ? you made sure we were together . you kept pulling your strings from your -- your hospital bed . you made sure we went to parties , alexis . you -- you cried crocodile tears to tell me that it was very important that we stay together as a family . what was that supposed to prove , alexis ? what ? was it supposed to show that maybe we would get back together again , that maybe -- oh , god -- maybe we would sleep together ? well , guess what -- if you were betting on that , you lost . i have never put my hands on sam ever again . alexis : bully for you . ric : oh -- alexis : really -- no , bully for you , ric , because i 'm sure there must be a medal somewhere for a husband who only sleeps with his wife 's daughter once -- ric : ok -- alexis : and not twice . ric : so it was n't a test , then ? so what was it , alexis ? was it your revenge ? alexis : oh , god , i do n't want revenge , ric . i just want out . it 's over , ok ? we 're done . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : well , now that i know who the baby 's father is , i can go on with my life -- messed up as it is . huh . sonny : is there anything i can do to help ? elizabeth : no , that 's -- thank you . jason offered . actually , he said it -- he said it really did n't matter who the baby 's father turned out to be . but , you know , he 's got enough on his plate right now . sonny : yeah . elizabeth : so it 's up to me to bring this child into the world with all the -- all the love and security it deserves . it 's all i really want . sonny : it 's going to work out . you know , you just got to look at that baby , and it 's all going to be worth it . elizabeth : yeah . yeah . sonny : you all right ? elizabeth : yeah , i 'm fine . sonny : ok . lulu : elizabeth ? is there bad news about the baby ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] maxie : oh , i 'm sad you 're still in here . i feel so alone . lucky : i need to be here . maxie : your sister 's going around telling everyone that i 'm not really pregnant , and i -- i just thought you should know that dr. lee ran some tests on me , which you do n't do to someone who 's not having a baby . lucky : is the baby ok ? maxie : yeah , everything 's fine . i finally got mac off my back . although , he 's a little worried about me having a baby after having a heart transplant . lucky : what did dr. lee say ? maxie : she feels the same way , but they 're going to monitor me closely . i know mac 's been in your face a lot lately and he 'd be really happy if you left me alone . a lot of people would be happy if you had nothing to do with me -- or our baby but -- lucky : i just want to do what 's best . as soon as i figure out what that is , i 'll let you know . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you 've been looking at colleen funny since day one . you know , it feels like this dislike you have for her is based on -- emily : no , no , no , do -- do not say `` jealousy . `` nikolas : i -- i was n't going to . what i was going to say was `` intuition , `` which i normally trust with you , but i -- i really think you 're way off on this one . emily : no , it 's not intuition to add up all the facts . look at everything that 's happened . nikolas : yeah , exactly . someone may have tried to kill alfred , drugged me , cut my saddle , and colleen mentioned your fall on the -- on the stairs , which , in retrospect , even that seems suspicious . but i do n't think colleen would go to such lengths over a crush when helena has far more to gain . emily : all right , just keep your guard up . people go to extremes to get what they want , and i do think that colleen wants you . nikolas : i -- i just want to speak to her about this -- emily : no ! do n't ! if -- if i 'm right , you 're going to be setting yourself up as a target . nikolas : what do you think i 'm going to say to her ? `` hey , colleen , you ever done away with one of your employers ? `` no , i 'll be careful . but i do n't think you should be there . there 's far too much tension between the two of you right now . emily : yeah , i know . i -- i agree . ok , i 'm going to go get colleen . nikolas : emily , emily -- thank you for caring enough to do this . emily : you know , sometimes you 're irresistible -- apparently to colleen as well as to me . nikolas : bye .

[ alexis sighs ] alexis : you do n't need anyone to drive you away , ric . you 're perfectly capable of doing that all by yourself with your self - loathing and your obsession with your brother . ric : this has nothing to do with sonny . alexis : everything you do has to do with your brother . it 's why you married me in the first place , is n't it ? so you could raise his kid and lord it over him . god , and then you call me cold ? whew . when was the last time you ever had an honest emotion ? ric : i 'm feeling plenty of them right now . alexis : everything you say is a lie . and every move that you make is some agenda . ric : really ? what was my agenda , alexis , when i helped you with every crisis ? what was my agenda when i stood by your bedside and i begged you to live , over and over again ? what was my agenda ? alexis : guilt . this lucky little charm that you gave me , the one that you picked out with the same filthy hands that you put all over my daughter -- [ alexis sighs ] alexis : you know why i really want to live ? so that every time you look at me , you will remember what a sick bastard you are . you need to get out . ric : fine . i 'm going to get my things . and molly . alexis : better men than you have tried -- ask your brother . ric : you know what ? do n't try that trick with me , ok ? you want to play games ? you want to go into family court ; you want to do exactly what you tried to do with sonny ? sonny : is everything all right ? ric : oh , look . hey , you know all those times that you -- you threatened to blackmail me , to tell alexis that i had slept with sam ? well , guess what -- she already knew . she saw the two of us together . now , obviously , it did n't too much to her , because she still continued to manipulate everybody like she always has . alexis : you knew ? ric : oh , did he know ? everybody knew , alexis . sonny knew , jason knew -- god knows who else knew . i bet you did cartwheels when you found out that jason almost killed me . alexis : jason was here that night . i did n't want him to see ric and sam together , so i had him take me to the hospital . he must 've come back . ric : and he eventually beat the crap out of me . alexis : you deserved it . ric : alexis , do you not see -- do you not see that this sick little game that you had of throwing me and sam together to see if something would happen , what that was going to do to kristina and molly ? but i guess that was n't at the top of the list of the things that you wanted . alexis : you are patently absurd . ric : and you are pathologically myopic . you want what you want , and the rest of us could rot . you know what ? your selfishness set this entire ball rolling in the first place . whatever sam and i did , we may be wrong for it , but sonny : ric , ric , ric -- ric : you share in that responsibility . sonny : ric ! ric : what ? sonny : enough ! do n't talk to alexis that way .

[ scene_break ] alexis : elizabeth poses a risk to her children because she allows them to spend time with a known criminal , jason morgan . diane : who has never been convicted of any crime . alexis : which does n't mean that he did n't commit them . he can be directly linked to a well - known criminal enterprise , and ms. miller is acting as his general counsel . diane : please do not hold elizabeth responsible for the alleged actions of my other clients . ms. davis is simply trying to divert your attention from the fact that mr. spencer abused his wife while he was using drugs . he yelled at her frequently , shoved her at will . accidentally almost shot her once -- accidentally , so he says , on the docks . and actually fired a gun in the house with cameron sleeping in the next room . alexis : and yet elizabeth has asked my client to marry her a second time . diane : did she also agree to his affair with your daughter ? alexis : she had an affair with jason morgan . diane : that was one night at the very end of their first marriage , and after she caught him in bed with maxie jones . alexis : she did n't disclose that information before she agreed to marry my client a second time . diane : unlike your client , who flaunts his affair with sam . did you sleep with her last night ? well , of course you did . this man has absolutely no respect for my client . he is a disaster as a husband and a father -- elizabeth : okay , that 's enough , both of you . this is not what we want at all .

[ carly chuckles ] sam : he is . i mean , why would he keep disappearing ? i 'm sure he 's probably sick of your obsession with sonny and your so - called friendship with jason , your constant demands and your selfishness . i 'm sure he would appreciate a change of pace . carly : what the hell are you doing ? i mean , really ? jax has shown you no interest at all . you do n't want him , so what do you really want ? sam : i do n't know -- maybe i just want to bring a little bit of insecurity and paranoia into your day . mission accomplished .

alexis suggests that sam might want to discontinue her relationship with lucky while the divorce and custody issues are going on , but she refuses . whether lulu living with someone in the midst of a mob war or being involved with logan is worse is confounding to tracy and luke . alan is also worried that if luke gets into the war , tracy will die and they 'll both be condemned to haunt the rest of the family for all eternity . elizabeth and lucky abruptly turn reasonable , with him ceding custody to her and she allowing him unlimited visitations . a very befuddled spinelli agrees to father robin 's child . hearing a new orderly singing a particular song ticks epiphany off royally .

[ scene_break ] alexis : honey , i think you misunderstood . sam : no , i understand perfectly . and you do n't need to figure out how to handle me . i 'm fine . i can do this on my own . kristina : we 're just worried . sam : worried about what ? you think i 'm delusional ? that i 'm not facing reality ? molly : no . sam : do n't lie to me , molly . i ca n't take that from you . molly : i 'm sorry . sam : no . i am . i just want to find my husband , and there 's nothing you can say or do to change that . so if that 's why you came here -- alexis : we came here because we love you . sam : i need more , mom . i need you to want to hold on to jason . and if you ca n't -- if you want to let go -- that 's fine . that 's completely fine with me . but you 're not gon na do it here -- not in front of me , not in front of my son . you know what ? i think it 's time for you to go . alexis : honey , please . sam : there is nothing left to say . if you change your mind , you 're more than welcome to come back . otherwise ... alexis : [ smooches ] i love you , and i will be back .

[ chuckles ] he was . he would sit there , and he would hold michael for hours , and they would look at these travel books , and they would point at all the places that they wanted to go , even though michael could n't read or talk at the time . but jason was convinced that he understood everything . todd : it sounds like jason was really good with kids . carly : the best . and that 's why i wanted that so badly for jason -- a family of his own . and he was just about to have it . i mean , to raise a child with the woman he loves . it did n't matter that the baby was n't his .

michael goes to the quartermaine estate to break the news about jason to monica . monica is devastated . she says after everything jason has been through with franco , the baby , and losing sam , it is n't fair for this to happen just when things were right . she says michael should go to carly because she could probably use a hug from her son right now , which is something she will never have again . michael hugs her . after michael leaves , monica calls someone and says they need to talk . elizabeth goes to the pier where jason went into the harbor . spinelli comes out of the water in diving gear and tells her that he has been looking for jason . he assures her that jason loved her and forgave her for the part she played in keeping sam 's son from her . she tells him that jason loved him too . alexis , molly , and kristina go to see sam . sam snaps at her mother to be careful with the baby , as if the mother of three had never seen an infant before , but she insists that she is ok . alexis tells sam that they are sorry about jason . sam tells them not to be sorry because jason is fine . she says she knows in her heart that jason is alive . alexis says sam may be right since a body has n't been found , and jason has survived worse . sam does n't want to be placated . she tells them that if they are n't going to hold onto jason , then they need to leave . sam then looks at a map to research where jason might have been swept by now . spinelli goes to the penthouse . sam is excited to see him and tells him that he is just the man for the job she is working on .

diane : you did n't paint any of this . franco : what makes you say that ? diane : because you told me that you could n't paint this one , and these look remarkably similar . how do you explain that ?

maybe this will lead you to yet another one of victor jerome 's many mistresses . but listen , you . sam : what ? lucy : remember , i was never , ever one of victor jerome 's mistresses . got it ? sam : yes , of course . got it . lucy : okay . well , then what are you -- what are you doing ? why are you interested in his business ? what is this about ? mrs. collins ? lucy : oh , um , hi . ms. coe . ms. coe . yes . dr. collins wanted me to tell you he 's sorry , but he has a patient in crisis . lucy : oh , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you know , he always has a patient in crisis , so why ca n't this particular crisis wait till after lunch ? dr. collins asked me to tell you that he needs a rain check . lucy : a rain check ? i 'd like to give him a rain check ! listen to me , you . do not ever , ever , ever , ever fall for a doctor . michael : dad ? dad ? what the hell happened ? i saw the cops leaving . what were they looking for ? sonny : the cops did n't do this , michael . someone else did . ava : you 're not gon na believe this . but morgan thought that we were sleeping together . derek : you and me ? ava : [ laughs ] i nearly choked . do you believe that , julian ? he actually thought i was sleeping with my own brother . morgan : that guy 's ava 's ... oh , my god . derek wells is julian jerome . painting , but i - i - i painted all the rest of them . diane : and yet they all look so similar . franco : [ clears throat ] uh , yeah . what ? you never heard of picasso ? diane : sure . franco : okay , well , picasso was influenced by cezanne and pissarro . and it works the other way , too . picasso influenced , uh , lichtenstein and hockney and pollock , who , in turn , influenced anybody who wanted to drip paint on just about anything . diane : so you 're saying you were influenced by whoever painted this . franco : no , i was inspired to create my own interpretations . whoever painted that is my muse . diane : do you think your muse might get angry that you 're plagiarizing his or her work ? franco : nah . she does n't mind . she 's my biggest fan . diane : of course your muse is a woman . what 's her name ? franco : i 'm not telling you her name . why do you need to know her name ? diane : so that i can get her signature on a release or something . franco : no , she prefers to remain anonymous . diane : uh - huh . wait a minute . wait a minute . is your muse that groupie that you had in here , the one that made carly so furious ? franco : it could be . diane : something does n't compute here ! a week ago , you had this , and it 's not even yours . now you have all these . franco : hey , what can i say ? nothing gets your juices flowing like a deadline . diane : you know what i think ? i think you 've lost your mojo . i think when the doctors removed that tumor , you lost all capacity for violence , and you also lost your talent . you did n't paint one of these , did you ? not one . heather : what ? no hug ? scott : [ coughs ] i 've got a bit of a cold . i would n't want you to catch it . heather : oh , scott . if i can survive a fall off the roof of the hospital and a shadybrook all - patient production of `` brigadoon , `` i can handle the sniffles . scott : this is a surprise , you know . i - i must admit i almost did n't recognize you in this getup . heather : well , you know me . i like to mix it up . scott : well , speaking of mixed up , are n't you supposed to be locked up in the miscavige institute for the criminally insane ? heather : yes . i am . us residents like to call it `` micey . `` see what i did there ? m - i - c - i . and let me tell you something , scott . mice abound ! scott : it 's good to see that you still have your sense of humor . but if you 're supposed to be locked up there , why are you here ? heather : oh , is n't it obvious ? scott : i wish it was . heather : well , we 're at kelly 's . what does kelly 's have ? scott : chipped beef on toast ? heather : no . the world 's greatest blts ! i 'm a big fan of kelly 's blts from way back , since when rose and paddy owned the place , remember ? i was dating joe at the time . you remember joe kelly , do n't you ? scott : of course i do . heather : ah , yes . joe . with him , it was all the blts i could eat all the time . scott : a girl does need her bacon . heather : and he loved to give it to me . the bacon , scott . scott : mm - hmm . yes . heather : i was in love with joe . i mean , between the sandwiches and the sheets , we were in bliss . until you destroyed it ! scott : oh ! whoa ! lucy : you see , doctors actually do n't really care about people . they just care about their `` patients . `` case in point -- dr. silas clay . sam : huh ? silas : hi . sam : hi . silas : how you doing ? lucy : so , do not ever get involved with a doctor , because not only , for example , is this doctor a doctor , he also happens to be very insensitive perhaps to those who love him , not to mention the fact that his blood brother was a serial killer . and doc has said that studies have proven overwhelmingly in the evidence that evil runs in the dna . so there . silas : and only if doc was here , we could ask him . lucy : [ chuckles ] excuse me . nurse ! hey , i want to get a message to my so- called husband ! silas : for what it 's worth , i hope you do n't take her advice . sam : actually , it 's a little late for that . i think i have , um -- i might ha just as much evil in my dna as you do . silas : i really doubt that . sam : no , i just found out that my father is a mobster . silas : nice . how did you come by this good news ? sam : oh , my mom did some digging , and she found out that my father might have been a part of this major crime family right here in port charles . silas : here ? so , your old man 's still around ? sam : um , no . he 's been dead a long time . but it turns out that , um -- that he had a -- he had a son , and my mom ran a dna test , and -- and this mobster 's son is my brother . silas : wow . well , look , i guess on the bright side , you finally got some answers about your father , you know . it 's too bad he 's gone . bad guy or not , i 'm sure you would like to have met him . sam : silas , it 's -- it gets a little bit more complicated . my -- my father had a sister who might live here in port charles . silas : no kidding . anyone you know ? sam : i know her . yeah . um , you -- you -- you know her better . silas : sam , i just moved here . who could it be ? sam : ava jerome . derek : yeah , well , i hope you set your little boy toy straight , sis . ava : of course i did . in fact , i told him the truth . derek : what ? ava : i did . i looked morgan straight in the eye , and i told him that i find the very idea of sleeping with you revolting . which i do , obviously . derek : yeah , well , right back at you , sis . i have , uh , done some pretty adventurous things in my life , but a family member ? that is where i draw the line . ava : well , how do you know you have n't ? i mean , given how much our father slept around , i 'd be surprised if he did n't have a whole slew of inbred grandchildren . you know , he might . derek : it 's true dad did have a problem keeping it zipped , but you , on the other hand , you 're -- uh , you 're playing house with a kid who 's , uh , what -- half your age . ava : as if dad did n't have mistresses that were half his age ? derek : okay , do n't get so defensive . i told you , i admire your dedication and your creativity for going after morgan after kiki left him for michael . sonny : shawn and i got here this morning . the security guard was knocked out . place was trashed . michael : well , first , one of your shipments gets blown up , and now this ? it 's got to be the same people , right ? sonny : that 's what i 'm thinking . michael : you still think it has something to do with that julian jerome guy ? sonny : yeah , michael . i do . ava : you are oversimplifying a complicated situation . morgan has had a tough time . derek : well , i 'm moved by your compassion . i 'm sure morgan is , too . just make sure you 're keeping an eye on little corinthos lite . ava : of course . why would you even question that ? derek : uh , well , did n't you just tell me that he 's jealous of us being , uh , lovers ? ava : and i 've disabused him of that notion . derek : yeah , but for him to have that notion in the first place , he must have overheard you on the phone with me or something . in any event , he clearly knows that there 's more to our relationship than just art . ava : he does n't know . he suspected . and i told you i can handle him . derek : well , as long as he does n't know that we 're going after this father . diane : you can tell me the truth . murder , fraud , plagiarism . i 'm bound by confidentiality . franco : diane ... i just ... could n't do it . i tried so hard to get my brush on the canvas . i did everything i could think of . i closed my eyes and thought of my high - school girlfriend . nothing worked . my paintings just looked like cheap drugstore greeting - card art . and so , i appropriated another artist 's work . diane : so , i 'm writing a contract for the comeback of franco , formerly known as the artist , and you did n't paint any of these ? franco : no . diane : a groupie did . franco : yes . diane : not the most trustworthy of subspecies . what if she makes trouble for you ? franco : she 's not gon na do that . she 's my number - one fan . diane : something tells me you 're not up on the works of stephen king . franco : god , no . why ? diane : because stephen king wrote a novel , which was then turned into a movie starring james caan , who played a writer whose number - one fan , played by kathy bates -- who won an academy award for this , by the way , very well - deserved -- kidnaps him , ties him to the bed , and then hobbles him using a sledgehammer . ring any bells ? franco : no , it does n't make -- no bells . it 's nonsense . why would kathy bates hit him with a sledgehammer ? diane : because she felt that he betrayed her artistically . and when obsessed fans feel betrayed , they can become violent . are you telling me this woman is not capable of that ? heather : it 's all your fault joe left me . scott : that 's not really the way i remember it . heather : really ? you do n't remember him walking in on us together in bed ? you do n't remember him telling me i made him want to puke ? scott : i do remember that . it kind of seems like it was yesterday . but , heather , you know , come on , i mean , our affair , it was -- it was mutual , was n't it ? heather : do n't flatter yourself . scott : it was n't like i forced myself on you , like , say , the way luke forced himself -- heather : do n't say that about luke . scott : you 're right . this is n't about luke . this is -- this is about us and how we felt about each other before joe caught us in bed . heather , come on ! you know , we were crazy about each other ! i was like a bee to honey . i had so much passion for you , and it was very , very real . and you told me that you felt that way , too . come on , now . we 're not just old friends , babe . we had a lot of good times together . do n't you remember ? heather : yeah , scotty . i remember that , too . lucy : tell dr. collins that this is approximately the 20th time he has canceled a date with me . obviously he does care more about the mental health and stability of his patients than his wife . so , you can also tell him that if he ever gets around to missing his wife , then he can find me out on the campaign trail -- on the campaign trail with my very attentive , very attractive ex - husband , scott baldwin . i think i need to write this down . lucy : with whom i 'm going to be spending a lot more time with because obviously my doc never is available to me . silas : whoa . slow down . brain freeze . in what world are you and ava even remotely related and how ? sam : okay , so a dna test proved that my father is a man named julian jerome , and just the other day , you told kiki that -- that ava had a brother . silas : yeah ? sam : yes ! a brother who was very rich and had connections , one that she had never mentioned his name to you , nor did she ever mention anything about him to her daughter . silas : even so , have you considered the fact that jerome is a relatively common name ? sam : okay , i know . but have you considered the fact that ava has constantly lied about being a part of the jerome family and -- and she does lie about anything and everything ? silas : hey , look , if ava was the daughter of a mob boss , she would n't be lying about it . she 'd be bragging about it . sam : okay . i know this is a long shot , but can you just hear me out for a second ? okay . silas : sure . sam : okay , come here . so , lucy told me that julian jerome , his father was named victor , and he had a problem with staying faithful to his wife , so he had tons of mistresses . and so , he had julian , and then there were two other brothers by two other women , and there was also a third mistress , according to lucy , but she could n't remember her name . the only thing she can remember is that this woman was from new york city . silas : oh , well , that narrows it down . sam : and she said that victor would take this woman to , um , a bar named ryan 's . have you ever heard of that ? ava : trust me , julian . the only thing morgan knows about us is that we are in the art business together . he does n't have a clue about anything we 're doing , and it 's gon na stay that way . sonny : michael . michael : look , ava always told kiki that she was an only child . sonny : right . michael : why would she leave out the fact that she has this rich brother ? and the only thing i can think of is that there 's something shady about him . sonny : i am waiting on information that could prove that jerome is still alive . michael : if julian is ava 's brother , they could be working together to bring you down . and that means morgan 's caught in the middle . derek : if the kid is asking questions , then he already suspects something . ava : yes ! an affair . not a conspiracy . we have nothing to worry about . morgan will never know . derek : you sure about that ? ava : i 'm sure . morgan : maybe you should n't be , ava . looking forward to the `` franco come back from the dead `` comeback show , so that 's exactly what they 're gon na get . diane : does your number - one fan know that you 're passing off her work as your own ? heather : you said that you wanted my paintings because you admired my work , my artistic genius . and now based on what you were telling carly , it sounds like you 're just trying to pass them off as your own ! franco : yes . in fact , she 's really happy about that . diane : she is ? franco : uh - huh . ecstatic . she says that it 's the only way that the world will ever really get to recognize her true genius . diane : and this `` genius `` does n't mind remaining anonymous ? franco : well , i offered her a share of the proceeds for her discretion . diane : okay , so you have an oral contract ? franco : yeah , basically . diane : what you need is a written contract . franco : no ! there 's not gon na be a written contract ! no ! okay ? ! no ! no contract ! the bottom line here is money , okay ? there 's a whole lot of it to be made by everyone , including you ! okay , so forget about your contract ! let 's just roll with this ! and for the love of god , can we please stop talking about my muse ? ! heather : mmm ! lucy : oh , for heaven 's sake ! scott baldwin , you 're supposed to be kissing babies , not -- heather webber ? ! diane : if you go through with this show , you are perpetrating a major fraud . you are marketing work that is n't your own . franco : yeah , i 'm okay with that . diane : yes , but your buyers wo n't be . franco : then my buyers do n't need to know . diane : franco , you 're not the only one who stands to lose everything here . my head is also on the chopping block , not to mention ava jerome . franco : ava jerome ? what does ava jerome have to do with any of this ? diane : well , i 'm -- i 'm sure i told you about this . franco : i 'm sure that you did not . diane : it 's her gallery that is opening your show . franco : how long have you known that ? diane : well , i tried telling you the other night , but you were so upset when you assumed that -- carly assumed that you and i were sleeping together . uh , then i did n't want to tell you because i just thought you 'd freak out , just like you 're doing right now . franco : tear it up . you tear up that contract . there is no way that ava 's gon na make a dime off of my artwork that is n't even my artwork . ava : morgan . what are you doing here , huh ? did you follow me here , baby ? morgan : yeah , i did . 'cause i wanted to see what was going on between you and this loser . ava : [ exhales sharply ] because you were jealous ? i have to say i 'm flattered . but really , it 's unnecessary . in fact , i was just telling mr. wells here how ridiculous it is for you to suspect that we were sleeping together . morgan : oh , i know you 're not sleeping together . ava : because he 's my business partner . morgan : no , because he 's your brother . michael : dad , morgan could be in trouble . sonny : living with ava ? even if she was n't connected , she 'd still be dangerous . michael : okay , what if we 're right ? then what if ava 's brother is julian ? and what if she 's only with morgan to somehow get to you ? sonny : well , that 's entirely possible . michael : we should do something , then . morgan 's vulnerable . we got to get him out of there . sonny : you think i do n't know that ? michael : okay , then what are we waiting for ? sonny : proof . look , i already , you know , went over there , tried to get him out of there , and it did n't work . what 's gon na happen if you and i try to get morgan away from ava without it ? michael : [ sighs ] he wo n't believe us . sonny : and ? michael : and he 'll dig himself even deeper in at ava 's . sonny : okay , i 'm taking the proper steps . nothing excessive . i went over there . i warned morgan about ava . he did n't want to listen . and he 's not gon na listen to you if you go over there . michael : yeah , you 're right . he wo n't . [ sighs ] sonny : so , we got to do what we need to do , right ? what 's with the suit ? you going to a funeral ? michael : yeah . i 'm going to a funeral for my career . i had another job interview today . sonny : what happened ? they turned you down 'cause of your prison record ? michael : no , actually , they turned me down because of you . morgan : your name is n't derek wells , all right ? it 's julian jerome . and you 're trying to take down my dad ! heather : that 's what he said . scott : okay , uh , why do n't we just spread out and calm down , lucy ? lucy : calm down ? i left you for one minute , and what do i do ? i come back and find you making out with an escapee from an insane asylum . heather : oh , yeah , like you 've never tried to escape from a nuthouse . did your ex - wife here ever tell you about the time that we escaped from ferncliff together ? lucy : we were n't together . there 's no `` we `` in this . i -- listen to me -- i was completely exonerated . you , on the other hand , you deserve to be in some sort of wraparound straitjacket in some sort of padded cell with locked doors inside a big fortress with thick , thick walls surrounded by electrified barbed wire ! heather : what a coincidence . that 's where i was this morning . lucy : ohh ! and you ! you -- you -- what are you thinking ? you are running for district attorney . you can not be seen with the likes of her , much less kissing on her ! scott : yes , i know that , but i was trying to keep her from stabbing me ! and one thing led to another . lucy : oh , my god ! well , it 's a good thing i showed up when i did . okay , listen . i think what we should do is , you try to grab her purse , subdue her , and i 'm gon na call the police . heather : yes , scotty . subdue me . lucy : stop ! hey . scott : hmm ? lucy : actually , pal , i just had a stellar idea . you know what ? you 're running for district attorney . what do district attorneys do ? they catch criminals . so you need to catch heather webber . you 're the big hero of the town . you win the election . so listen , you -- you call the police . call them ! heather : he wo n't . unless he wants me to tell the police that my escape was all his idea . franco : ava jerome is a faithless bitch . she used me . and maybe i deserved it . but that little girl who i thought was my daughter did not . there is no way i am putting one penny into the pocket of ava jerome . diane : ava was resistant to doing business with you again , too . but she saw the light . she came to her senses . now it 's your turn . franco : no , i am not coming to my senses . you 're right . this is crap . look at this ! there 's no way i 'm showing this crap . come on . les call the whole thing off . diane : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i never said i did n't want you to show the crap . i just want legal assurances that it 's not all gon na come crashing down on your head . franco : you said it was fraud . diane : yeah , well , maybe there 's a way to work around that . right now , i have to stage your comeback . franco : what comeback ? diane , you were right . whatever talent i ever had is gone . diane : but your debts are n't . and you owe me thousands , and that 's just for the day . you see , it 's no longer about redemption or art , franco . it 's about money now . because while your -- while your civil suits are worming their way through the legal system , you got to do this . carly 's about to throw you out of this hotel . so you got to deal with ava , suck it up , sign the contract . let 's do this . franco : how 'd i get here ? i 'm broke . i ca n't paint . carly is gon na throw me out on my ear . and you 're right . this fraudulent comeback is my only shot at ever getting my life back . diane : yeah , you want to see how much worse it can get ? you blow this off . franco : okay . let 's do this . the real reason i want to do it is to show carly that i have more class and i 'm more successful and i have more heart and soul than that soulless troglo -- tr -- diane : dyte . franco : doofus , derek wells . give me the contract . let 's go . diane : fantastic ! franco : [ exhales deeply ] okay . there just better not be any more surprises . ava : morgan , baby , you misunderstood what derek and i were saying . you 're wrong about what you -- morgan : okay , i heard every word that you two said . do n't smile and act cute and try to tell me that i did n't hear it . ava : wh is with you ? always sneaking around , listening to my conversations ? i told you eavesdropping was a deal breaker -- morgan : shut up , ava , okay ? i heard that you 're the jeromes and that you 're after my father . ava : you need to chill out right now . morgan : oh , you know what ? you must be the one that blew up my dad 's shipment . sam : as it turns out , ryan 's bar still exists . silas : and where did lucy say this bar is ? sam : upper west side . silas : you sure ? sam : yeah . why ? silas : ava dragged me to a ryan 's bar a couple times . it was on the upper west side . derek : i have one question about what you claim you know about me and ava . why do you care ? morgan : are you serious ? he 's my father . derek : okay , but you 're not the only one who 's good at listening , son . i 've done some listening myself . and from everything i 've heard , you hate your father 's guts . he humiliated you at the party that ava threw for you and your new bride . morgan : and i 'm supposed to think that bothers you ? derek : you loved my niece . you kids deserved to be happy . and that night , sonny ruined any chance of happiness that you two could have had . sonny stabbed you in the back when he told kiki that you 'd been lying to her . he drove kiki to leave you for your brother michael so michael could be happy . [ scoffs ] just like every other day and night of your life , sonny chose michael over you . am i right ? michael : the h.r . rep who interviewed me , uh , said they wanted to keep their image clean . they could n't afford to hire somebody whose father is a crime boss . she did n't add -- sonny : come on . michael : she did n't add `` especially one who 's an ex - con , `` but , you know , she basically implied it . sonny : you want me to talk to this h.r . woman ? michael : no , if you do that and put the squeeze on her , it 's only gon na prove her point . sonny : yeah . you 're right . you want me to get shawn to talk to her ? michael : [ chuckles ] sonny : what do you want me to do ? anything . michael : i 'd like for you to say that i - i could have a job , you know , here . sonny : i have been thinking about it . michael : and ? sonny : but i do n't want to risk another fight with your mom . michael : dad , i told you i 'll handle mom . sonny : it 's not just that . i 've always kept you at arm 's length when it comes to my organization . michael : yeah , 'cause you 're protecting me , dad , and i understand that . but , look , i told you , this is my chance to help protect you . sonny : you 're my son . it 's not your place to protect me . i do n't want you hurt . can you understand that ? michael : yeah , dad , i understand , but , look , the coffee business is legit . sonny : yeah . and obviously somebody did n't get the message . michael : you 're gon na need an extra pair of hands to help you get things back on track . sonny : i 'm gon na float you a loan until you get a job . michael : thanks , dad , but i want to make my own money . i understand i may be unemployed as an exec , but there 's got to be something i can do . sonny : okay . i have an idea . derek : look , i 'm really sorry to open up old wounds here , although i 'm sure they still feel pretty fresh to you . look , i - i really hate to say this , but it 's pretty clear to me that your father does n't give a damn about you . ava : julian , that 's enough . derek : look , i 'm just trying to be honest with the boy , something that neither you nor sonny can manage . [ sighs ] now , morgan , i asked you a question earlier . you 've had a few minutes to think about it . i 'd really like to know your answer . morgan : what was the question ? derek : why should you give a damn about what our plans are for your father ? morgan : i - i got to go . derek : morgan . look , buddy , hey . [ chuckles ] i - i do n't want any problems here , but by the way you 're behaving , you 've got me a little worried here , kiddo . mostly for you . morgan : oh , thanks . you do n't need to worry about me , though . derek : my advice ... is to forget everything that just happened here . morgan : or else what ? that mr. baldwin , candidate for d.a . , arranged for my escape from miscavige . lucy : nobody will believe you . heather : are you sure about that ? because we had a smoking - hot affair when we were younger . lucy : yeah , during the carter administration . heather : reagan . and what 's a few years between lovers ? [ chuckles ] obviously his attraction for me has n't waned , not a bit . i 'm gon na tell the cops that scotty busted me out . lucy : you go and tell those police whatever you want to , because i will personally vouch for scott . heather : i 'll say that you were in on it with scott , too . you two have a passionate history , too . yeah , maybe you wanted to make it a ménage - a - three with me , just like a page out of `` 50 hues of blue . `` lucy : god , look at the lovebirds flying around the lovebirds ' head ! wow ! scott : you know , lucy , if you have a plan , you should tell me about it right now . lucy : it 's the same plan . same plan . you call the police , because no one is gon na believe this loony lovebird ! right now ! call . just call them . heather : yeah , of course . i 'm sure the police would sooner listen to a woman who stabbed a man because she thought he was a vampire . lucy : oh ! scott : well , now , heather , anybody could make that mistake . lucy : give me the phone . hand the phone over right now . give me the phone . i will call the police myself . give me the phone ! heather : you do that , 'cause i ca n't wait to read the headlines . `` candidate and ex - wife take advantage of a helpless mental patient . `` scott : you know what , heather ? here 's what we 're gon na do . we 're -- we 're gon na look the other way , and you can go back to the nut -- i mean the institution . heather : yes . should be making my way back to miscavige . but i 'm not going anywhere without my blt . franco : sit down . let 's do this . diane : okay , let 's . franco : [ clears throat ] you gon na -- diane : yeah , i just have to hold it steady for you . franco : what 's wrong with you ? diane : nothing . franco : why is derek wells ' name on this contract ? morgan : you threatening me ? derek : threatening you ? [ chuckles ] ava : [ chuckles ] derek : why would i threaten you ? you and your father are on the outs , right ? or i 'm sorry . did i have that wrong , what sonny did to you about driving kiki away from you so [ chuckles ] i mean , michael could have her ? morgan : no , you 're not wrong . derek : okay , so why say anything at all about what you heard here ? just let it go . let business run its course . and you and ava can , uh , pick up where you left off . sam : okay , so victor jerome brought his mistress to the very same bar that ava jerome brought you ? silas : yeah , but you ca n't throw a stick without hitting an irish bar in the new york , and ava and i frequented quite a few . sam : okay , but i kind of think it 's worth checking out . i mean , maybe someone at ryan 's remembers seeing victor or ava . silas : great . i 'm going with you . michael : okay , what do you got in mind ? sonny : uh ... i do n't know if you 're gon na like it . it 's all i got . michael : okay . try me . sonny : how about the restaurant ? michael : pozzulo 's ? sonny : yeah . i mean , you know , has nothing to do with my other enterprises . michael : i thought you did n't want any customers around . sonny : there 's an -- there 's an entrance from the street , and it 's a shame that the restaurant just kind of sits there empty . connie and i , we were gon na redo the place . we were gon na have somebody come in from the city , a chef , and , you know , make it just a nice showcase , but obviously that 's not gon na work out , so ... could work out for you . morgan : nice try , dude . i may be pissed at my father , but he 's still my dad . ava : morgan , stop and think about what you 're doing . morgan : think about what , ava ? how you 've been playing me ? derek : she was n't playing you , son . morgan : oh , sure , she was , with your full approval . and you know what ? you 've been playing me , too . but that 's okay . i 'm not gon na let you screw over my dad . i 'm gon na go tell him everything . derek : that 's not a good idea . morgan : get your hand off me . ava : morgan ! do n't do this ! morgan ! stop ! heather : thanks . i 'll never forget your kindness . and you , scott . scott : oh , lord . what ? heather : thank you for the trip down lover 's lane . i have n't been kissed like that since ... well , i do n't know when . [ smooches , blows ] franco : why is derek wells ' signature on my contract ? diane : because he 's ava jerome 's partner , and his money bought the gallery . franco : you want me to go into business with my ex and the gym rat who 's chasing carly ? diane : he 's ava 's silent partner . he 's not gon na mess with your work . franco : oh , no , no . he 's just gon na make money off of it . no ! no ! he 's a sucker puncher ! and he 's not gon na make a dollar off of my artwork that 's not my artwork , certainly not with carly on his arm ! i am not signing this ! diane : fine . give me the contract . franco : gladly ! diane : now i suggest that you find another gallery to stage your comeback . in the meantime , i 'm gon na send you my bill . franco : why would you do that ? you know i ca n't pay you . diane : my point exactly . gosh , i hope you come up with some genius solution for your financial problems before carly kicks you out of this hotel , before you 're not only penniless , but homeless , shilling your phony art from a blanket on some street somewhere . that is definitely more preferable than working with ava jerome and derek wells . [ door opens ] ava : i could n't stop him . derek : of course you could n't . ava : what is that supposed to mean ? derek : it means you 're being reckless and not nearly as savvy as you think . you should have thrown morgan out on his ass the moment he started snooping ! ava : i needed to keep him close ! away from sonny 's influence so we could turn him ! derek : oh , this is n't about sonny or our plans for him . you needed to keep morgan around 'cause you 're still stuck on that doctor . sam : you want to come with me ? silas : mm - hmm . sam : what about your patients ? silas : those leeches ? i do n't care about them . that was for lucy . sam : yeah , i know . silas : but , um , i imagine there 's a guy in a white coat that can cover my shift for a couple days . sam : are you sure ? i mean , you do n't have to go with me . silas : no , actually , i - i do have to go with you . i sold my place in the city , and , uh , i have to go see the bank and the lawyer . and besides , were n't we planning on spending some time together without any interruptions ? sam : yes , we were , but you -- you were supposed to surprise me . silas : surprise . sam : [ chuckles ] all right . silas : hey , look , we 'll go to new york , visit this place ryan 's , we 'll have a couple beers . maybe we get some answers . sam : sounds good to me . ava : my being with morgan has nothing to do with silas . derek : oh , of course not . you 're obviously with him for his sophisticated sense of style and his sparkling wit , `` dude . `` ava : and i really do n't think he 's gon na tell his father about us . derek : [ sighs ] and you also thought you had him under control . he seemed pretty determined to me . carlos , get in here . ava : why are you calling carlos in ? derek : [ sighs ] ava : what are you gon na do ? derek : what do you think i 'm gon na do ? i 'm having that kid taken out before he spills his guts to sonny about us . sonny : what do you say , michael ? you want to make this restaurant into something real ? michael : you do realize i have no experience in this whatsoever . sonny : i have no doubt that whatever you want to do , you 'll succeed . it 's just a matter of whether you want to do it . michael : yeah , i do . sonny : all right . now we just got to get your mom on board . you know how hard that is . michael : well , i 'll tell her i 'll , uh , always have a table waiting for her . sonny : you better . michael : dad , thank you . i really appreciate it . sonny : no , thank you . you 're doing me a favor . you know , after everything that has gone down , i ... it 's just great to have your son close to you .
morgan reveals to ava and derek that he 's heard everything in their private conversation which they thought he 'd never hear or know about . he knows that derek is julian jerome and ava 's brother . they are plotting to go after his father . and ava 's using him . derek ( julian ) then reminds morgan that his father does not care about him , so he should n't want to protect his father from them . morgan listens but then decides to expose their secret . as soon as michael leaves , derek calls for carlos to get rid of morgan and wo n't listen to ava 's protests that he wo n't betray them .

anna notices a photo and notification about valentin cassadine and admits to griffin that she knows she 's seen or heard valentin somewhere although she realizes nobody heard of him until the people met him at cassadine island not long ago . laura overhears their conversation and warns them about how dangerous valentin is , from her experience on cassadine island . while she has dinner with kevin , they both conclude they need not be afraid of valentin since he 's probably out of their lives and detained in prison . we do not find out how or why maxie got held captive nor whom the guy is who did it by first mistaking her for claudette . she manages to break free , calls nathan , he goes to rescue her and she appears to be ok . we do not see or hear what has happened to her captor . meanwhile , claudette has left charlotte with griffin , now concluding she will be safe with him . she gets on her flight , without her daughter , to return to canada after knocking griffin out , so he can not prevent her from doing so . and as soon as she 's on the plane , a man sits beside her whom she identifies as valentin cassadine . carly is still distraught and not knowing how to cope with the loss of morgan . she finds out that kiki was with dillon and gave morgan good reason to believe she bailed on him , and so she lashes out at kiki , blaming her for what happened to her son . sonny is calmer and supportive to kiki , assuring her this is not her fault and reminds carly she needs to know the only person she blames is him . she admits she blames more than one person but it does not matter since their son is gone . although sonny wants her to be with him , she continues to tell him that she only sees the man who killed her son when she looks at sonny . they have no reason to believe morgan survived the crash yet have not found his body nor evidence of his death . when dante brings the charred jade necklace that carly had given morgan , which they found in the wreckage , sonny and carly wonder what to do regarding the timing of his funeral . hayden is with finn and they wonder about his future , whether his days are numbered or whether the two of them should plan on having a future together and at that point , they kiss and it appears they are ready to sleep together .

[ scene_break ] john : sonny was trying to discourage you from seeing me . carly : no , that 's not true . john : are you saying he approves of us building a relationship ? carly : he accepts it because he knows it 's important to me . john : yeah . he wants you to get me out of your system , that 's what he wants . carly : yeah , probably . john : well , that 's not good enough . carly , i want you to be a part of my life not for a month , not even for a year , but from now on . the reason i let jason off the hook is i was hoping maybe sonny might feel obligated . he would n't even think about coming between us . look , i have every reason to believe that jason is guilty . exonerating him went against every principle i have . but if it works , it was worth it . carly : you know that in sonny 's world , owing someone is serious business . john : yeah , i 'm very familiar with the criminal code of ethics . i also understand why sonny would be suspicious . but this is not about my job as a federal prosecutor . this is about me wanting to get to know you and your family , and have you be a part of my life . carly : well , sonny 's not going to trust it , john . john : well , then , i -- i 'll talk to him , father to father . and i 'll make him understand .

[ scene_break ] alexis : you withheld information about my daughter 's condition ? ric : no , we just did n't want to tell you anything until we knew something for sure . alexis : was n't your call to make . ric : you were already terrified , alexis . i did n't want to add to your stress by bringing up the possibility of worst - case scenarios . steven : look , alexis , all the tests i ran came back negative . i had nothing definitive . it was just a hunch . alexis : and you chose to share that with ric and not me ? did it ever occur to either one of you that i 'm her mother and i have the right to know ? please have the decency to stay out of this right now . sonny : all right , all right . alexis : you tell me what i need to do to get my daughter bone marrow . steven : ok , there 's a very simple test that will see if you 're a compatible donor . alexis : good , let 's do it . i do n't see the point in wasting any more time , do you ? steven : i 'll set it up right now . alexis : let 's go . sonny : ric , putting everything aside -- look -- ric : you know what ? why do n't you just do what alexis said and just stay out of it ? there 's no way you can help this situation . carly : what was that all about ? sonny : hey . kristina has a blood disease -- something anemia , and she 's going to need a bone marrow transplant . carly : do they have a donor ? sonny : they 're going to test one of her parents . hopefully ned or alexis will be a match .

[ scene_break ] sam : i was wrong to have sex with ric . alexis : you think ? sam : i am going to regret this for the rest of my life . i have been spending a lot of time thinking about this , about what happened and why . alexis : we all have , sam . we all have ad nauseam , and you know what ? i do n't want to think about it or talk about it anymore . sam : no , you -- you brought this up . you 're going to see it through right now . alexis : you know what ? when you 're right , you 're right . sam : i was n't flirting with ric that night . actually , i had abandoned all of my plans for revenge because i did n't want to hurt molly or kristina , and you know what ? here 's a laugh for you -- i did n't want to hurt you , either . alexis : i seriously doubt that , sam . sam : that night , do you even -- do you even remember what happened ? alexis : yes , i do . i walked into the house just in time to hear you call me a bitch . sam : because you had set me up for yet another embarrassing encounter with jason , so i had given up . i came back here and i started drinking . you walked in ; you called me trash . you said that i was poisoning my sisters . you told me that i was pathetic and degraded . alexis : and ric leapt to your defense -- it was very moving . sam : you told me to get out , and then you walked out the door . alexis : what did you expect me to do , sam ? sam : you forced jason out of my life , and then you abandoned me ! i had absolutely nothing ! so i kept drinking ! and ric started drinking because he was angry , too , and you know what ? we started talking , and the next thing -- we were n't . alexis : did you even care that ric was my husband ? [ sam sighs ] sam : you know , actually it was kind of a relief to live down your expectations , to be that pathetic , degraded tramp that you -- alexis : stop crying and acting like a child , and act like a woman , sam , and claim responsibility for what you 've done . and i will not allow you to make this my fault . sam : wow . i do n't know who 's acting like the child here , because i had one night with ric . you -- you have been torturing me for weeks . who 's done the most damage here , mom ? [ scene_break ] carly : oh , god . jason : what 's wrong ? carly : nothing . nothing . everything 's fine . welcome home . sonny told me ric had let you out .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i will do the best that i can for the baby . maxie : if you really mean that , do n't you think you should at least consider being a full - time father ? lucky : i am still married to elizabeth . maxie : not for long . she 's going through with the divorce and she 's making sure everybody knows about it . lucky : i do n't care . even if the divorce happens , i will always love elizabeth . maxie : i think if you let yourself , you could love me , too . lucky : i hurt you . i hate how i took advantage of you . maxie : that was the drugs , and -- and i forgive you , ok , even if elizabeth wo n't . we will put all of that behind us . our baby needs both of us . [ knock on door ] lucky : elizabeth , hi . i 'm glad to see you . elizabeth : timing 's a little awkward . maxie : i just came by to tell lucky how much our baby is going to need him . elizabeth : you know , getting pregnant and becoming a mother is a life - altering experience , yet i have n't seen any change in you at all . that 's because you 're as selfish and deluded as ever , which means this baby is going to need lucky . maxie : well , i do n't think it 's good for my baby to hear all this bitterness , so i 'm going to go . lucky : do n't you think you were a little hard on her ? maxie 's baby is still my responsibility . elizabeth : yes , it is . lucky : honey , you , cam , and our baby will always be my first priority . elizabeth : do n't make me a priority , lucky . i do n't -- i do n't need and i do n't want your support . now , i 'm not going to stop you from seeing this child , but i will raise both of these babies on my own . [ scene_break ] jason : how did elizabeth seem ? carly : like elizabeth -- smug and in control . she 's got to be disappointed . i mean , a druggie cop in rehab , or a great guy with tons of money , who would devote his entire life to making her happy -- even if it cost him the woman he loves ? jason : carly , seriously , what has elizabeth done to make you hate her so much ? carly : plenty . for starters , i 'm annoyed with the way you treat her like she 's some fragile flower , jason . jason : you ca n't blame elizabeth for how i treat her . carly : she knew exactly what she was doing when she slept with you that night . she may not have planned on getting pregnant , but she 's wanted to have a permanent hold on your life for a long time ! jason : what are you talking about ? no one planned what happened that night . carly : oh , come on ! out of all the places she could 've gone in port charles , she knocks on your door ? now she can be a part of your life without having to be involved with the danger . she wants you to worship her , jason -- unlike sam who is doing everything she can to fight to be in your life . look , you 've got to call her . you got to call her and tell her that you are not the father of elizabeth 's baby . jason : sam is dealing with her own problems at the moment . carly : what problems ? jason : alexis knows . [ scene_break ] sam : it 's actually very twisted when you think about it . you knew how difficult it was for me and ric to be in the same room together . we argued all the time . we could n't stand to be around each other , but you kept pushing us together . you forced us to go to the mayor 's cocktail party . wow -- you must 've loved that . alexis : from what i saw , you two looked like you enjoyed being in close proximity . sam : oh -- was this all just a -- was it to punish me ? was this a way to rub in my face my -- my crimes ? because you knew that -- that i would n't do anything because you had cancer . what a perfect weapon for revenge . alexis : try to grasp the concept that the cancer is n't about you , sam . in fact , it kept me silent , because i wanted to keep my family intact . i was trying to protect two little girls who are n't able to defend themselves . sam : what about you and me ? did you -- did you enjoy watching me help you , knowing that i already failed ? was -- was it really fun to make me believe that we were bonding as mother and daughter , when clearly we were n't ? was this just some sort of -- a payback ? alexis : if you ca n't understand that what i did was in an effort to take care of kristina and molly , then there 's no point in arguing . sam : ok , then . i guess there 's no point . [ scene_break ] robin : i feel like i just lied to nikolas . laura is his mother . he has every right to know that there is an experimental treatment that could bring her back . but luke thinks that it 's very important to make this decision on his own . patrick : which puts you in an impossible position . robin : i did mention the possibility to lucky , but he obviously has n't told nikolas about it . maybe that 's better . nikolas has a lot to worry about these days with alexis and her cancer . patrick : what if it was your mother in there ? nikolas knew of an experimental drug that could possibly save her and he did n't tell you . how would you feel ? robin : i 'd be furious . he trusts me as his friend , and believe me , i want to tell him about all the options , i want to get him involved . but i ca n't ignore what luke wants , either . patrick : i think you should resign from this case . robin : why ? you do n't think i can be objective ? patrick : i do n't like what it 's costing you , and i do n't see it getting any better . do you really want to be in the middle of a spencer family fight ? luke : when can we start laura on the treatment ? [ scene_break ] jason : the night sam and ric were together , i found alexis outside the lake house . and she had this really bad coughing attack , so i had to take her to the hospital . and i was n't sure , but alexis must 've seen ric and sam . carly : oh , my -- i mean , that -- it 's one thing to walk in on your husband with another woman , but when that woman is your daughter ? it 's horrible . and do n't say anything to me about bobbie because she did n't know that i was her daughter when she found me with tony , ok ? i do n't know . it 's hard for me to have a lot of sympathy for alexis , though . she married the freak . ric is insane . jason : ok , that 's fine . the point is sam just found out alexis has known all along . carly : well , where 's sam now ? jason : she 's with alexis . they 're going to have to talk this out or fight this out -- whatever they 're going to do -- but i 'm worried . you know , sam acts tough , but she 's easily hurt , especially by her mother . no matter what she 's done , no matter how angry she gets , sam wants alexis to love her . carly : then you need go to sam and you need to get sam . you need to tell her that you are not the father of elizabeth 's baby . jason , that 's the best thing you can do for her right now . [ scene_break ] skye : thank you for being so polite to the quartermaines . lorenzo : well , thank you for rescuing me . if it were n't for you , i think they would 've tossed me in the lake . skye : not so long ago i would n't have blamed them . lorenzo : how about now ? skye : well , you were wonderful during lila 's birth , and i realized that i ca n't deny the truth . you 're her father , and i want you to be a part of her life . lorenzo : thank you . skye : but the problem is n't solved . from what i saw in south america , you 're more entrenched in your business than ever . i still do n't want that life for my daughter . lorenzo : well -- why do n't we figure out a compromise ? skye : i 'm listening . lorenzo : i 'll figure out a way to prove that my business is n't a threat , if you agree not to run away again . and you allow me to visit you and lila here -- for now . skye : well , i think i can live with that . and so can you , my beautiful angel . hmm ? hmm . [ scene_break ] robin : luke , are you sure ? you have n't seen laura for days . luke : has there been a change ? patrick : none whatsoever . luke : well , then why wait ? i mean , if she can get back even part of her life , then the risk would be worth it . robin : ok , but you have to understand the potential side effects . luke : look , dr. robin , i 've been through all of the potential side effects with legrasse in paris . patrick : you need to hear it again . ls49 could easily make laura worse than better . luke : yes , i know . all right , ok , let 's -- let 's go through it all again . patrick : luke , right now laura can not communicate . she 's completely unresponsive to audio and visual stimuli . luke : that much i know . patrick : ok , but she has a life now . it 's not much of one , but she can sit up , she can rock back in a chair , she can eat food , drink water . if she has a bad reaction to ls49 , she will lose all of that . robin : yes , and she could end up in a true vegetative state , complete with a feeding tube and a ventilator . luke : i know that , too . but what are her chances of recovery without ls49 ? patrick : zero . luke : and you agree with that ? robin : i 'd like to say `` never say never , `` but yes . there is virtually no hope for laura without ls49 . [ scene_break ] tracy : ah - ah - ah - ah - ah ! do n't even think of sneaking off . robert : you know , you ought to keep your voice down . sleeping babies react badly to that kind of thing . tracy : well , lila mae or rae -- whatever skye named her -- is just going to have to deal . my husband , on the other hand , is an entirely different story . where is he ? robert : come on . you know how he loves babies and warm , fuzzy family moments . tracy : he just started paying attention to his daughter , and now he 's vanished . so why do n't you just tell me , what is he up to ? [ scene_break ] luke : lulu needs her mother . i know she always did . but right now , she really needs you , laura . we have such an amazing daughter . she 's beautiful and smart and courageous . she 's got what ruby used to call `` brass . `` that 's a combination of savvy and wit and a willingness to take chances . i 'd like to think she got that from me , but right now she needs something else , something i ca n't give her . no one can but you . laura , she needs to hear you say that it was ok that she had the abortion . i 'm afraid if she never hears it from you , she 's not going to be able to move on . she 's going to be stuck with that decision for a long time . i do n't know what lucky needs . to finish rehab , i guess . and he needs to stop blaming me and whoever else for all his screw - ups . i do n't know what happened to him , angel . i -- i just do n't know . he 's so far off track . maybe if you -- maybe if -- `` if . `` if , if , if , if , if . if pigs could fly , if politicians did n't lie , if wishes came true . there 's about a thousand - to - one shot that my wish is going to come true . pretty bad odds . almost as bad as the odds that a rough kid who grew up in a whore house could meet a beautiful girl from a nice family and hurt her . worse than he ever hurt anybody , and have her love him anyway . i 've beaten the odds over and over again because of you , angel . that 's why lucky and lulu exist . i know that you would want to take this risk for them , and for the memory of a girl who always leaped before she looked , who led with her heart . i know that that girl would do anything , risk anything to help her kids . damn the odds . oh , baby . oh , baby . let 's do it .

[ scene_break ] ric : my father is not running the zacchara mob , sonny . he would never risk getting his hands dirty , and he values his prestige and his social contacts far too much . sonny : well , trevor 's arrogant enough to think he can get away with it . ric : there 's a difference between arrogance and stupidity . an association with known organized crime figures is going to destroy a reputation my father spent years cultivating . sonny : i do n't think trevor planned on running the business , i think it just kind of fell in his lap . you see , anthony is insane and he 's been deteriorating for years , and trevor 's had to cover that up , and he 's been taking more control of the business . ric : so you 've -- you 've met with anthony zacchara ? sonny : yep . he 's a recluse who 's surrounded by guards and keepers , while your father runs the organization . ric : but , you see , my father was desperate to find johnny zacchara . if anthony is as helpless as you say he is , then why would trevor even bother ? sonny : anthony is certifiable , but he still has power . and i 'm telling you , if your father loses control of him , we 're all in a bloodbath .

[ scene_break ] sonny : for trevor to continue to run the business , he has to keep anthony quiet -- that 's where johnny comes in . ric : oh , so he 's his father 's keeper ? sonny : well , apparently , he 's , you know , obsessed with his son , and trevor uses johnny to placate him . ric : in other words , they have to make sure that johnny stays at home -- sonny : but he does n't want to stay at home . ric : and if johnny runs off , then they run the risk of anthony going after him . sonny : exactly . trevor has to keep anthony out of sight , and , you know , the zacchara 's ' reputation for violence and power is what gives the business its muscle . but nobody can know that anthony 's insane , and that trevor 's running the show . ric : interesting theory . but what do you expect me to do about it ? sonny : well , you 're always looking for a high - profile takedown . why do n't you bust trevor ? i mean , he 's head of a crime family , he 's guilty of extortion and murder -- come on , ric -- ric : so you 're honestly suggesting that i arrest my own father ? sonny : you hate him . why do n't you -- now is your chance to put him away for life . i mean , is n't that what he deserves after the way he 's treated you all these years ?

[ scene_break ] jax : wow , this is an interesting conversation . carly : not really . jax : i heard sonny 's name . which is no surprise with the two of you . claire : well , i really needed to make myself clear because alchemy just jumps off with the two of you , along with brenda and sonny , when you guys are all in proximity . jax : well , there 's a lot of history . claire : yeah , that 's right . and it 's your history . i am more interested in the present . so sonny and i are gon na be whatever we are on our own . we do n't need your interference . so i want you to stay out of it , do n't cheerlead , and do n't set up dinner dates . you handle your own business and leave mine alone . carly : i thought i was doing something nice . claire : no , no , no , no , no . you were really manipulating , and i 'd like you to stop . jax : claire . before you go , i wanted to talk to you about organizing police protection for brenda . [ scene_break ] jason : see , i brought brenda back here because i figured if i 'm gon na fight this guy , i want to fight him here . lucky : yeah , that makes sense . i mean , who could have predicted that my undercover assignment would lead to the balkan ordering me to deliver brenda ? [ scene_break ] brenda : sit down . come in . lulu : okay . thanks . brenda : wow , look at you . you are all grown up . and beautiful . lulu : thank you . i 'm really sorry i did n't call ahead . brenda : no , no . spencers do n't call ahead . what are you talking about ? how 'd you know i was here ? lulu : my boyfriend told me . brenda : oh , who 's your boyfriend ? lulu : dante falconeri . [ scene_break ] dante : what reason could you and i have to discuss brenda barrett ? sonny : well , she 's here for the time being . you 're bound to run into her . dante : well , not necessarily , but go on . sonny : well , i know you think brenda 's strong and confident . that 's what she likes to put out . and i 'm not saying she 's not , but there 's another side to her . she 's fragile and she can break very easily . and you were kind of harsh with her last time . okay ? so if you see her again -- dante : i 'm not gon na see her again . sonny : why not ? dante : i was harsh with ms. barrett last time i saw her because i was put in a situation i have no desire to be in . sonny : but look , her intentions were good . she knows i want a relationship with you . she 's just trying to help . dante : it did n't work out too well , did it ? sonny : it was awkward . but look , it 's not a deal breaker . if you knew the dynamics , you would understand . dante : i do n't need to hear this . sonny : well , you know what , you might even learn something . when i went to rome to see brenda , it was just like old times . she felt it , i felt it . then she told me that was engaged , she was gon na get married . so she said go back home and deal with your life . dante : and lo and behold , you look up and there 's brenda barrett . sonny : literally . i had taken claire to the island . we had a great time . i did what brenda wanted -- to move on . i dropped claire off , went into my living room , and there 's brenda . and i thought , great , you know , she wants to try again , she just needs a little convincing . so she tells me that she 's there because she does n't want to see me anymore . classic brenda . i know she wanted more . dante : of course , sonny . i mean , what woman can resist you ? sonny : maybe she just knew i was disappointed and wanted to give me something good in my life . and that would be you . dante : it 's a generous thought , but i do n't see much for the practicality or probability of success . sonny : well , you know what , dante , i 'm never gon na stop hoping that we could be a family one day . but in the meantime , i know brenda 's gon na reach out to you because she 's very stubborn when she wants something . dante : like bringing us together as father and son . sonny : something like that . i 'm just asking you as a favor , be nice . [ scene_break ] lulu : this is very impressive . i 'm like , you know , tea bag in a mug and go kind of person . brenda : oh , no , me , too . me , too . this is all spinelli . every time i come down the stairs , he has something new waiting for me . he leaves me these little notes with very odd but super positive and sweet affirmations . he leaves them everywhere , even in my underwear drawer . lulu : oh , wow . that 's spinelli . brenda : i know . he 's sweet . i love him so much . i was actually happy to come back here and see that jason is n't alone like he used to be . anyway , how are the spencers ? lulu : oh , we 're good . my mom was not doing well for a while , but she 's doing a lot better . she 's in paris . brenda : she 's in paris ? i wish i would have known that . lulu : yeah . well . and my dad is , you know , kind of the same . my dad . his newest thing is he 's tricked tracy quartermaine into a fake marriage . brenda : what are you talking about ? luke and tracy are married ? lulu : yeah . brenda : that has to be an interesting story . lulu : yeah . yeah . actually , he got her wasted in vegas and convinced her that they had tied the knot . it was like 5 years ago . brenda : that 's very romantic . lulu : uh - huh . but the problem is that tracy found out that the marriage is a scam , so now he 's working overtime to get her back . brenda : well , adorable . so , how are you ? lulu : oh , that 's actually a perfect segue into why i 'm here . do you know kate howard ? brenda : sure . yeah , `` crimson . `` lulu : yes . um , well , i actually -- she 's a good boss . she 's a little tough . but , okay , so my job is when she really , really wants something , i 'm supposed to get it for her in a timely fashion . and right now she really , really wants you on the cover of `` crimson . `` brenda : uh ... [ scene_break ] claire : i thought jason morgan was brenda 's security . jax : he is . claire : so why would she need additional police protection ? jax : because jason 's line of work makes him and the people around him targets . so i think brenda would be safer with a more traditional method of security . claire : sounds like you 've given this some thought . carly : he has . he 's even designed an apartment for brenda here in our hotel . jax : yes , it 's on a private floor with keyed access . claire : makes sense . jax : so you 'll look into police protection for brenda ? claire : why not ? yes . jax : thank you . i appreciate it . i take it you have a problem with this . [ scene_break ] lucky : this could all work to our advantage . the balkan ordered brenda kidnapped and we want to know his identity . jason : so you want me to let you stage a kidnapping ? lucky : yeah . i 'll contact the balkan as ronan and make it clear i 'll only hand brenda over if he shows up in person . jason : i see a few problems with this . lucky : what ? jason : the first thing is , brenda 's not exactly cooperative . lucky : well , you could deal with that . what else ? jason : okay , the second thing is the balkan is only gon na show up in person if he trusts you . how 's that going ? lucky : it 's not great . well , look , we 're still in the testing phase . in fact , the latest test is here in port charles . i brought her back alive . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i certainly hope you treat wyndemere as your home as long as you 're in town . siobhan : there 's not much chance i 'd be seen by anyone all the way out here . nikolas : i think that 's the idea . siobhan : `` the old man and the sea . `` nikolas : personal favorite of yours ? siobhan : never read it . my uncle mico loved it . he always used to say , `` hook life like a big fish and never let go . `` you and lucky are brothers ? nikolas : yes . we have the same mother . siobhan : you seem quite opposite . it 's hard for me to imagine lucky living in such splendor . nikolas : well , lucky 's into the basics . he was on the move a lot growing up . siobhan : really ? nikolas : mm - hmm . siobhan : i only know him as ronan . what 's lucky like ? nikolas : what 's lucky like ? he 's one of the two best people i 've ever known . completely trustworthy , which is another way in which we 're completely opposite . he does n't let the pain and heartache he experienced turn him cold and bitter . siobhan : that 's easy to do . nikolas : tell me about it .

[ scene_break ] lucky : there was no way i was going to kill siobhan , so she 's hiding out at wyndemere . and god willing , the balkan will believe that i followed orders . jason : yeah , but that 's not the same thing as leaving a body . lucky : no . but at least it 's consistent . i mean , ronan was known to be inventive in his methodology . jason : if i know one thing about the balkan , he 's not gon na be put off so easily about brenda . he 's after her . lucky : i know , i know . if i say i have her , i 'll have to produce her . jason : yeah , and you can only produce her to him in person . it does us no good to take out anymore of his guys . lucky : if showing up in person is the only way he can get brenda , he 's gon na come . jason : and you 're okay where all this is gon na lead ? lucky : i 'm just trying to keep this as simple as possible , man . i have one job and that 's to identify the balkan to interpol . i 've been doing research to support my cover . this guy is beyond corrupt . he 's a monster . he exploits children for profit . he fills the streets with drugs and ak-47s . he commits crimes against humanity . and all without a face . and fate has put me in a position to take this guy down , and i am not backing out . jason : okay . and a guy like this is fixated on brenda . it just does n't add up . lucky : i mean , obviously brenda 's making some headway . she 's shining a light . it 's bad for business . jason : yeah , yeah , yeah . that 's what she says . lucky : you think there 's more ? jason : i know there 's more . but brenda 's not talking . lucky : so get her to talk . jason : have you met brenda ? lucky : i 'll find a way to be in touch . jason : okay .

[ scene_break ] dante : so i 'm digging deeper in brenda 's movements from 2003 to the present . claire : well , what do you mean ? i thought you already gave me the information . dante : well , not really . i mean , i gave you the boiler plate -- where she lived , where she traveled to , the fact that she 's always paid her taxes on time . except that 's not what you 're interested in . you are more interested in who she 's ever been involved with , right ? you want to see if there 's someone who could potentially take her away from sonny . claire : look , i 'm not proud of the fact that i 'm looking around the past of someone who could be considered romantic competition . dante : others have bent the rules for way less . claire : anyway , according to sonny , he and brenda are no more , at least for the time being . dante : well , then you got nothing to worry about . claire : oh , i 'm a fed and he 's a monster . there 's always something to worry about . enough about sonny . let 's get to the matter at hand . i want to discuss police protection for brenda . [ scene_break ] ethan : maya had nothing to do with doctoring luke 's test results . that was all me . monica : i mean , you 're luke 's son , so you 're obviously good at the con , but for this one it takes medical know - how , and that 's maya . maya : it was me , okay . no excuses or justification . so , should i go clean out my locker ? monica : you falsify another patient 's records and the answer 's yes . ethan : another patient . so we 're gon na let this one slide ? monica : tracy is basically a dreadful human being . she has even been more dreadful since she tossed luke out . living with her has been miserable . so if she buys into your scheme and takes upon herself the job of nursing luke back to health , then maybe the quartermaines can have just a little peace . so right now , i 'm wishing you all the success in the world . [ scene_break ] tracy : i will see you through your recovery . when you 've returned to your usual infuriating self , we 'll see where we stand . until then , what can i do for you ? luke : just one thing . do me the honor of becoming my wife . [ scene_break ] siobhan : our relationship , and i use the term loosely , is based on people trying to kill us , not hearts and flowers . sure , the sex was fantastic , but it 's not like we 're together . lucky : i do n't know what to call us either . but i think we have more going on than our mutual need to dodge bullets . besides , that could all end soon . siobhan : how ? lucky : i had a meeting with the guy who heads up brenda barrett 's security detail . we came up with a plan that could expose the balkan within the week . siobhan : well , that 's fantastic . brenda can resume her fabulous life in rome , you can pick up where you left off with the ex , i 'll go back to ireland , and we 'll never see each other again .

'cause that 's the way he is , you know . he does n't care who he hurts in the process . it 's the way he 's always been . brenda : it really is over for good . i know that for sure this time . you know , i 've grown up and i know what i can and ca n't have in my life . anyway , i 'll be okay . jax : and what if you 're not ? brenda : maybe i 'll just call my sponsor . jax : and that would be me . right ?

[ scene_break ] anna : all right , so this bernie abrahms , your father 's accountant , he transfers the bulk of sonny 's assets into your sister 's name , the idea being that her husband , scully 's son , would inherit in the very likely event of her death . dante : mm - hmm . anna : how on earth did all that get past sonny ? dante : bernie was more than an accountant . he was a consigliere . he ran sonny 's business , knew the inner workings , moved the money around . like , everyone would say that he was completely loyal . anna : yeah , but you put someone in that kind of position , they have a lot of power to do damage . do you think jason morgan found out and he shot him , that -- because he found out bernie was being disloyal ? dante : bernie used his last breath to tell sonny that jason was shot and in the water . he would n't do that for the guy who just shot him . anna : there 's definitely a second shooter , then . dante : according to trey , his father was working with someone else . anna : a partner ? dante : not so much a partner , but a boss , someone he had to answer to . anna : okay , so then assuming this individual gave the order to hit bernie , do you think he was also behind the transfer of the assets , or do you think that scully was acting alone there ? dante : no , scully 's not smart enough , and he -- he would n't have the foresight to engineer this kind of thing . anna : then we need to i.d . the second shooter . he 's responsible for everything that happened here last night . [ scene_break ] spinelli : sam , i came to -- i came to congratulate you on the return of your baby , but -- but also just to be with you in the wake of this loss . sam : if that 's all you 've got for me , you know where the door is . spinelli : you -- you want me to go ? sam : no . i do n't want your sympathy or your negativity around me or my son . i 've had enough of that from my family . [ computer keys clacking ] spinelli : well , i 'm sure your mother and sisters just want to comfort you . sam : no , they have already written jason off . and i expected better from you . spinelli : sam , i spent all morning in a wet suit diving off pier 52 . the -- the current had slowed considerably , but the water was freezing . i got a chill even with the proper equipment . there was no sign of jason . sam : okay . well , like you said , the current was really strong . i 'm sure jason drifted down shore a little bit . spinelli : the authorities disagree . they did a sweep of the shoreline , and -- and they come off empty . the coast guard speculates that -- jason 's body was carried -- sam : do n't . do n't . do n't say `` his body . `` do n't assume that he 's gone . spinelli : the police say his death is all but confirmed . sam : we are not the police , spinelli . we can see things that -- that they do n't . we can take on cases that they ca n't . i know i 'm right about this , just like i was right about todd hiding something in his safe about my baby . i know . i know that jason is alive . [ scene_break ] todd : uh , bills , you know . work really piled up when i was cooling my heels in lockup . feeling better ? carly : do you want the polite answer or the real answer ? todd : let 's go for real . i hate polite . carly : i mean -- if jason 's gone , i do n't really -- know how i do this , you know ? i do n't know what my life is gon na be like . jason never failed me . ever . and i always knew that everything was gon na be okay , because jason was always there . no matter what happened . always on my side , even when he knew i was wrong . he was there when every one of my kids was born . he looked after them , especially michael . todd : yeah , you said he was great with michael . carly : he was . he was perfect . and he was a perfect father . it 's why it 's just so unfair that he did n't get to raise a child of his own . just -- todd : he seemed pretty attached to sam 's kid when i saw him at the hospital . carly : yeah . [ chuckles ] i really wish daniel would have turned out to be jason 's , you know . then he would n't be completely gone . there 'd be a part of jason still here . [ scene_break ] lulu : all right , well what if duke is exactly who he says he is ? he 's a victim of circumstance , and after all these years in captivity , he 's come back because of his love for anna . luke : `` a , `` i do n't believe it . `` b , `` so what ? i do n't care . she 's taken . lulu : does she think that ? luke : well , maybe `` taken `` is a little strong . she 's otherwise involved . we 've got a good thing going . [ chuckling ] we really do . i 'm not gon na let this spud mess it up . lulu : but he 's still her husband . luke : thank you for that . lulu : i 'm sorry . i know -- i know that this is frustrating , but obviously anna sees it differently than you do . luke : look , let 's talk about you and your cop husband . how 's the parenthood thing going ? is it all on track and everything ? oh . what ? did i put my foot in my mouth ? lulu : it turns out that dante and i ca n't have a child , after all . luke : oh . sperm problems ? lulu : it 's me . luke : you ? what ? lulu : i have a condition where i can get pregnant , but i will miscarry sometime in the second trimester , so -- anytime dante and i create a baby , i will lose it . luke : i 'm so sorry . lulu : but it 's not the end . luke : no . what 's this ? lulu : supposed to be alternatives . i mean , i guess there 's more to parenthood than giving birth , right ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i know it must be very difficult to reconcile the -- the -- what you know about the man who raised you with what you now know about -- trey : you know , let 's just skip the psychoanalysis with me , right . i 'm not the one that needs a shrink . sonny : you 're right . it 's your mother who needs treatment . that 's why we need your help . trey : i do n't have to help you . alexis : i 'm not making light of your suffering , trey . you were abandoned . i 'm just asking that you try to understand what got her to that point . trey : why should i care ? alexis : because you have the chance to ask questions to things that you never had answers to . you have a chance to get love from a mother that you -- you never knew . but we need kate back . she needs to get the treatment . you 're gon na lose your mother before you even get a chance to know her if you do n't help us .

[ scene_break ] todd : you really think it would make such a huge difference if -- if jason were a father ? carly : well , yeah . i mean , that child would be one last tie to him . todd : yeah , but kids do n't grow up to be like their parents . i mean , take me for instance . i know it 's hard to believe , but i 'm actually an improvement over mine . carly : but a - a piece of them would still be here , you know ? todd : you think sam feels the same way ? carly : i know how i would feel . i mean , if i got to look in that little baby 's eyes and still feel close to my friend , if i got to watch that little boy grow up into a strong man like jason , i think that would mean everything . sam has to feel the same way . she was married to jason . they were gon na raise that little boy together . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . i should n't be going on and on . todd : i - i - i ca n't -- [ knock on door ] carly : um -- diane : hello . i thought i would save you a stamp . hello , carly . carly : hi , diane .

[ chuckles ] but he was -- he was determined . he would literally have done anything for you . carly : um , you guys have work to do , so i 'm -- i 'm gon na get out of here . todd : uh , carly -- carly : it 's okay . look , i 'm fine . i 'm good . and , uh . -- thank you for listening and being here . it meant a lot . and thank you for always taking care of jason . i mean , i know you were paid . but you kept him free , and i know he appreciated that . diane : i ca n't believe he 's gone . i thought he was indestructible . carly : we all did . [ scene_break ] sam : look , i think jason was pulled out into the channel . i 've been researching currents and shipping lanes . spinelli : okay . with a current of one knot , a person of his height and weight would move at the rate of just under -- sam : yes ? yes ? yes ? come on . so , you think it 's possible , right ? jason could be out there somewhere . spinelli : [ sniffs ] you want my professional opinion ? sam : yes . please . spinelli : well , the job of a private eye is to investigate his client 's suspicions without prejudice and follow clues to the truth . sam : yes . okay , that 's good enough for me . spinelli : all right , well , let 's start at the beginning . sam : all right . [ scene_break ] anna : i need a list of everyone who came into contact with scully this year , so i need his phone records , computer , everything , the works . dante : i 'll get a copy of the visitor logs for atlantic city . he did about a month in lockup before charges were dropped . anna : need to interview the guards , cell mates , any associates . dante : hey , you know what ? the m.e . says that he had proper medical care for that bullet wound in his shoulder , something above and beyond whatever tracy did for him . anna : well , he did n't go to the hospital , so we need to find out where he went after the quartermaines . dante : well , he went underground . he was gone for a week . anna : you think he was holed up with this individual ? you know , the one the son mentioned ? maybe it 's the -- [ clattering noise ] [ scene_break ] luke : adoption , huh ? that 's a big decision . lulu : we have n't made any decisions . i mean , we really even have n't had a chance to talk about much . up until a couple days ago , i was still very focused on getting pregnant . luke : well , it 's a cold , old world out there , and there are a lot of kids -- broken - hearted who need love and a home . so , if you 're willing to open your arms to them , i 'm proud of you . lulu : [ sighs ] luke : you 're gon na make an amazing mother . lulu : thank you . it 's just been a long couple days . i need to talk things over with dante , just like you need to talk with anna .

[ scene_break ] alexis : do n't you want a relationship with your mother ? trey : why ? she never wanted one with me . connie threw me out like a piece of trash , and kate forgot i even existed . sonny : trey , she did n't know you existed . she was a sweet , loving person until your father crushed her and raped her . trey : you do n't know that . sonny : kate is sick ! that 's the bottom line here ! you 're the only one who can get her in treatment . do you understand what i 'm saying ? trey : yeah , i understand perfectly clear . and you hate having to ask me , do n't you ? you know what ? it turns out you wasted your time . sonny : have you heard anything that we 've said to you at all ? trey : yeah , i heard everything i need to hear , and now i would like you to leave . see , i have to make arrangements to bury my father .

[ scene_break ] anna : ah , it 's in pretty good condition . means it has n't been here long . i do n't think it has anything to do with the shooting last night , though . dante : it could . it 's a pretty good vantage point , clear line of sight for seeing bernie and joe and jason showing up . anna : all right . so if we 're correct and scully was under orders to take out bernie , and then whoever gave those orders , maybe they showed up , they wanted to supervise in person , and they saw things were n't going as planned , and the second shooter stepped in to finish the job . dante : sam . sam : oh , hi . hi , dante . anna : hi , sam . sam : hi . anna : i 'm so sorry for your loss . and is this little baby -- hi , i 'm so happy that you guys are reunited again . sam : i 'm just trying to find my husband . anna : [ sighs ] this is a crime scene right now . we 're just beginning to -- spinelli : well , i 'm sure the commissioner remembers that we are licensed investigators . sam : yes , we are . so , what were you saying about second shooter ?

[ scene_break ] anna : jason came down here in response to a phone message from bernie , correct ? sam : yeah . yeah . bernie left him a message and said it was a matter of life and death . anna : do you still have that recording ? because if we can analyze it , there might be something in there we can hear . sam : yes , actually , i do . and i think that 's a really good idea . if we can figure out who the second gunman is , maybe we can figure out where jason is . anna : yeah . sam : perfect . dante : wow , she 's , uh , she 's in some serious denial . anna : oh , i do n't know . that 's what everyone calls it , denial . and you actually feel like it 's hope . then that goes away . that 's when it becomes very painful . sometimes things get turned around , though , and your hope gets realized .

[ scene_break ] franco : so , we 're good , right ? [ sighs ] i mean , my mother basically spells out exactly what happened . jordan : look , i will ... certainly look into the possibility that heather webber was culpable , but , guys , this is darkam asylum . it 's a super - max facility . you really expect me to believe that heather webber escaped , then attacked lucas jones , and then returned back to her cell without anyone noticing ? come on . franco : yes , exactly . this is my mother we 're talking about . heather webber is , like , the perfect combination of houdini and lizzie borden all kind of rolled into one very unsettling package . jordan : i 'm sorry , franco , but your mother 's story -- it does n't prove anything . [ scene_break ] tracy : so finn was concerned when you left the restaurant last night with that weimaraner you 'd attracted . i told him to stay out of it . he obviously did n't listen . finn : no , you 're right . you 're right . i - i went , and i found -- i found hayden . tracy : and then what happened ? did you hit her date over the head with a club and then drag her here by her wet hair ? hayden : i did n't need rescuing , thank you very much . tracy : exactly what i tried to tell him . finn : right , no , hayden had already subdued her date by drinking him under the table , but in the process , she had a few too many herself , and she ended up sleeping it off here . tracy : hmm . so , what did you do ? did you seduce him so he would convince me to hire you back at elq with a corner office and executive dining - room privileges ? i would have had more respect for you if you had asked me yourself . [ scene_break ] scott : now , listen , the only thing you need to know about morgan 's death is that you caused it ! sonny : say -- say that again one more time . ava : stop it . sonny : just say it to my face one -- go ahead . say it ! ava : i can handle this . sonny needs to know what really happened . scott : ava , um , listen . um , this is a really bad idea . sonny : no one 's talking to you , blockhead . ava , come over here . i 'm listening . ava : i saw morgan that night . sonny : yeah ? ava : at the floating rib . sonny : mm - hmm . ava : he was drinking . he thought that kiki was breaking up with him . but the bartender cut him off , took his keys . it was pretty obvious that -- that morgan was out of control . and i tried to talk to him . i tried to reason with him . i tried to stop him from leaving in that condition , but he would n't listen to me . and it was only a few moments after morgan left that julian found out that his car was stolen . so i was one of the last people that saw morgan alive . and i ca n't stop thinking about my part in it -- my culpability -- what i should have done instead of what i did . sonny ... morgan 's death is not entirely your fault . it 's my fault , too . scott : ava , that was good . that was quick thinking . ava : you 're the one that stopped me from going after morgan . it was you !

[ sighs ] sonny : hey . alexis : i was just coming in for a refill . sonny : yeah , you might want to reconsider 'cause ava and , uh , baldwin are in there . alexis : yeah , that sounds toxic . you drinking both of those by yourself ? sonny : not anymore . here . [ sighs ] you know ... last time i saw morgan , he was so angry , he could n't even look at me . why could n't i just grab my little boy and tell him , `` look , it 's okay that you got kicked out of school `` ? `` i 'm here for you . i - i 'll always be by your side . `` alexis : there is now way that you could have known . sonny : he was drowning , and he was hurting , and i told him that i was disappointed in him . carly at least reached out to him . i just yelled at him 'cause he was lying . and i let him go out the door and ... [ voice breaking ] ... live out the last few hours of his life . alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jason : when lily died -- sonny 's first wife -- sonny broke down . i did n't really understand what was going on , so i 'd just bring him more scotch when he asked for it , clean up his messes when he broke things . eventually , he pulled out of it . so when he broke down again , and the time after that , i just did the same thing . eventually , he was diagnosed as bipolar and started taking meds , which are supposed to keep him steady , and they do , usually . sam : usually . jason : yeah . sam : do you think he 's gon na break down again ? jason : according to max , he already started . and , uh ... i 'm really not sure how to stop it . sam : you 've got to try . jason : yeah , but ... what about our plans ? sam : our plans ? jason : yeah . sam : the plans we made this morning about possibly maybe moving to a different town ? jason : yeah , i think it 's a good idea . i 'd like to make that happen . sam : i agree . i do 100 % , but it can wait . sonny and carly -- their kids , their family -- they need us , and we 've got to be there for them . i 've never seen sonny actually break down , but i 've heard that it is really , really bad . and losing morgan -- if it 's because of something sonny did , [ scoffs ] that 's got to be the worst pain in sonny 's life . [ scene_break ] hayden : what are you saying ? tracy : [ laughs ] skip the surprise . it does n't play . so you just happened to spend the night here , and i just happened to get a phone call from finn . hayden : wait ... i 'm the favor ? tracy : oh , please ! hayden : you called tracy and asked her to re - hire me ? tracy : stop asking like you do n't know ! finn : she did n't . she did n't . i -- she did n't know . i - i called you while hayden was sleeping . hayden : i had no idea . finn : listen , i just -- i - i - i called you 'cause i thought if i asked on -- on her behalf that you might accept . hayden would be really good at elq , and i just think that maybe you 're letting your history get in the way . hayden : do i get a say in this at all ? finn : you -- you do n't want the job ? tracy : fine with me . i did n't want to hire her in the first place . finn : be careful you 're not cutting off your nose to spite your face . tracy : well , it 's better than hiring a parasite . hayden : well , that 's -- screw the job ! finn : listen , i 'm sorry . why are you getting mad ? i was -- i was just trying to -- hayden : i know exactly what you 're trying to do . you only made this oh - so- magnanimous gesture because , you 're trying to get rid of me . [ scene_break ] jordan : i will see if i can find any actual proof of heather 's involvement , but as it stands now , we 're still a ways away from actually solving these last two attacks , guys . elizabeth : we were afraid you were gon na say that . franco : yeah , which is why , with elizabeth 's help over the last few days , i 've been gathering more evidence . jordan : what kind of evidence ? franco : well , it took some doing , but i finally figured out which guard helped my mother -- thank you -- escape that night . this is a six - figure check from my mother 's account made out to a rob howell . he 's a guard at darkam . he was on duty that night . you can call the warden if you want . remarkably , right after the attack , he managed to buy himself a condominium just outside of las vegas . this is a copy of the rental agreement , because rob howell rented a car for my mother . and this is another check from my mother 's account made out to a vinnie verde . now , that guy -- jordan : hey , i - i know vinnie verde . he 's a low - level drug dealer . he 's got the iq of just above room temperature . franco : uh - huh . i went to see him , right ? right before i got here . that 's why i was late . and he confessed to me that he sold the derisifol to rob howell . jordan : and how did you get him to cop to that ? franco : i asked him really nicely . come on . do n't you want to check all that out ? is n't that enough evidence to prove that general hospital is safe again to reopen ? jordan : wait here . elizabeth : think it worked ? franco : well , she hates my guts .

[ scene_break ] jason : i have to find this broker sonny hired . sam : do you even think it matters , if you find this guy or whoever 's responsible for this , if you trace back all the steps and see what went wrong , it 's not gon na bring morgan back . jason : no . and the grief is bad enough , but sonny blames himself . i do n't know what he 's gon na do , and i do n't know how anybody 's gon na stop him . sam : ohh ! danny : mommy , what does this say ? [ scene_break ] ava : i was worried about morgan . i was going after him , and you stopped me . scott : wait a minute , what are you driving at here ? you ca n't pin this on me . i had no beef with morgan . you 're the one that switched the kid 's meds 'cause you wanted to break him up with kiki , and you succeeded . ava : oh , my god . i 'm the one who made morgan think that kiki was sleeping with dillon . i - i saw him earlier at the metro court , and i told him that kiki was with dillon . so i did n't just mess with his meds . i set him up to be jealous . i set him up to have his -- have his heart broken . all i was trying to do was protect my girl . [ voice breaking ] i swear . i just wanted to protect my daughter . [ sobbing ] scott : i know . i know . i know . [ scene_break ] julian : so , tell me , nina , would you miss me , i mean , if sonny wiped me off the face of the earth ? nina : i - i do n't like you . hmm . but i do n't wish you were dead . julian : well , i suppose that 's a kinder sentiment than most people would express to me . nina : um , listen , you only sabotaged my magazine . you did n't dismantle my life . julian : that 's true , nina . i 've brought oceans of pain to everyone i love . my children , especially alexis , and i have a long way to go before i can ... work my way back to her . that 's for sure . nina : oh , julian , listen . try never . julian : well , see , i - i believe you 're wrong there . alexis means everything to me , and if i can somehow redeem myself to my children and alexis , well ... i can die a happy man . [ scene_break ] alexis : i ca n't imagine what you 're going through . i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . sonny : how 's christina doing ? alexis : well , uh ... she and molly are at home looking at photos of -- of morgan and all the good times that they had together . you know , they were so close -- all of them -- molly , christina , michael , morgan , and -- and you were a big part of bringing them all together . listen , you gave morgan a good life . sonny : carly did n't think so . she left me . alexis : is that why you 're here alone ? [ sighs ] where 's michael ? sonny : uh , he blames me , too . and dante 's trying to find as much evidence as he can so he can charge me ... for the crime of killing my -- my son . alexis : [ inhales sharply ] christina is in your court . she blames julian . sonny : what about you ? do you blame julian ? [ scene_break ] tracy : i was considering hiring you because finn asked me . now i would n't hire you to clean my floors . hayden : i 'm heartbroken . tracy : and , finn ... next time you want a huge favor , make it something simple , like , hmm , smuggling illegal drugs into the country . finn : what just happened here ? hayden : you went to a lot of unnecessary trouble to manipulate me out of your life when all you had to do was ask . finn : manipulate you out -- hayden : do n't worry , finn . as soon as i 'm dressed , i 'm gone . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , you never told me . how did you get your mother to confess ? franco : well , i just , uh -- i told her the truth -- that if the hospital case was n't solved , that ... i might lose you to rochester . and then i kind of worked her over and finally , she caved and confessed . she did n't know that i had recorded her . elizabeth : is she mad at you ? franco : she 's furious , but it had to be done , right ? i mean , for the sake of general hospital and ... for your sake . at least for mine . jordan : [ clears throat ] franco : okay ! we 're good , right ? everything checked out ? yeah ? my mother 's the final piece of the puzzle ? [ scene_break ] sam : this is a grown - up book . i do n't think it 's anything you 'd be interested in . danny : is it about babies ? sam : `` is it about ... ? `` jason : [ chuckles ] million - dollar question . why do n't you sit down right here ? thank you . sam : okay , you ... for me . jason : i think it 's yours . go ahead .

[ scene_break ] alexis : this all started because of the mess i made giving my testimony . and if i had done my job , he would have been convicted . he would be in prison , and you would n't have felt the need to retaliate . sonny : julian came by my house ... to offer his condolences and ... offer a truce . he 's afraid i 'm gon na kill him . [ chuckles ] alexis : are you ? sonny : want another drink ? alexis : i ca n't . i have to go home . what happened to morgan was a tragedy ... resulting from a whole lot of horrible circumstances . not one single person is to blame . not even you . sonny : [ sighs ] my son 's dead because of you ! [ scene_break ] hayden : as soon as i find my purse , i 'll , uh ... be out of your way . finn : wait . wait . please . please . will you just explain to me -- please explain to me how me calling tracy and asking her to consider you for a job equates to me trying to get rid of you . hayden : you 're so transparent . you 're telling yourself you 're just protecting me from what might be your early death by pushing me away in the kindest way possible . finn : 'cause i do n't want to be your cause . do n't you understand that ? i do n't want to be your excuse for doing reckless things like going up to a stranger 's room or conning some guy into thinking he had sex with you . hayden : oh , come on . it is n't about that , and you know it . you like me . you want me . and that scares the crap out of you because you ca n't let yourself feel anything for any woman other than your wife . [ scene_break ] tracy : ah , commissioner . jordan : ms. quartermaine . tracy : have you made any progress tracking down lucas jones ' attacker ? i 've got to get that hospital open before it gets converted into condos . jordan : actually , we 've got some good news . we 've managed to find the perp . tracy : what ? who is it ? jordan : heather webber . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : to you . not only did you make sure i was well taken care of during my recovery , but you went above and beyond to get that hospital reopened . you gave me back my health and my livelihood . you 're a good man , franco baldwin . franco : aw , shucks . elizabeth : are you gon na tell me how you got that drug dealer to talk ? franco : [ chuckles ] [ chuckles ] i , uh ... can be ... very persuasive . you of all people should know that . elizabeth : oh , come on . just tell me . franco : um ... okay . at the risk of alienating you after having made so much progress , there are times when ... i can appear to revert to my old ways if the right situation arises . elizabeth : do you care to explain that ? franco : a bad man thought i was a very , very , very bad man , and so i just allowed him to think that . does that bother you ? [ scene_break ] julian : thank you . nina : you were going to let alexis go on trial for a murder that you committed , and when that did n't work , you tried to kill her . how do you think alexis is gon na come back from that ? how is she gon na forgive you ? julian : alexis loves me . nina : she does n't look like a woman in love right now . hey , julian . be a decent guy . leave her alone for once . [ scene_break ] scott : do n't listen to him , ava . sonny : i 'm not talking to her . i 'm talking to you . scott : me ? sonny : yeah , you . scott : that 's a good one , corinthos . you 're gon na blame me for your son 's death ? sonny : you won the acquittal for your friend julian . now he 's free to walk , where he should be in prison . and my son would be alive ! scott : it 's called karma , corinthos . you 're a criminal . you destroyed my daughter 's life , and you deserve to lose your son in return . [ scene_break ] finn : you know , when i woke up this morning , you were on my couch . i was just watching you , and ... i felt happier ... and more alive than ... any day since my wife died . maybe you 're right . maybe that scared me a little . maybe ... maybe for a moment , i thought i was betraying her . maybe you scared me a little . i did what i often do , and i , um ... i called tracy . hayden : to take me off your hands ? finn : no , to ... give you something better to focus on besides ... me . then you woke up , and you looked at me . you looked at me , and i kissed you , and ... i promise you , hayden , i was n't thinking about anything else in the world but you . hayden : maybe not . but your wife 's still here . she keeps you in limbo , so you do n't have to feel anything or give yourself to anyone . including me . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] tracy : okay , then . so when do i get the pcpd 's official approval to reopen the hospital ? jordan : i will start the proceedings as soon as i can . tracy : that 's great . so who do i thank ? which detective solved the case ? jordan : actually , uh , the person who brought the evidence in is n't part of the force . tracy : oh , well , i - i suppose that 's appropriate that general hospital be saved by a member of the community . so which civic - minded civilian gave us back our beloved hospital ? jordan : it was franco baldwin . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm not looking at you through rose - colored glasses . i know who you were and who you still can be . franco : you still see the good in me ? elizabeth : i said that to laura at kelly 's before you got there . did you hear me ? franco : i heard you . elizabeth : then did ... ? [ chuckles ] did you hear me say that i ... might be falling for you ? franco : no , no , no . i mean , after i heard the first part , i just -- i got distracted by something , so i did n't -- i did n't -- elizabeth : you were eavesdropping . franco : yeah . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry . you 're right . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : in fairness , it did n't come as a total surprise , right ? but it was really nice to hear you say it out loud . i fell for you a long time ago .

[ chuckles ] right here . you can teach him or her how to build pillow forts . jason : yeah , and there 's a lot big brothers can do . uh , you can help scare away monsters out of the closet and help your mom and me keep the baby safe . sam : 'cause that 's what families do . when one of us are in trouble , we 're all there for them . danny : i 'm gon na draw a picture for scout . sam : i think that 's a really good idea . danny : okay . sam : what was the text about ? jason : oh , that was ava . she says sonny 's in trouble . [ scene_break ] sonny : karen died 10 years after she worked for me . i understand it still hurts . and you hate me 'cause you ca n't hate anybody else . you blame me for what happened 'cause you got to put your rage somewhere . let me tell you something . my son died two days ago , because you let that psycho julian free , knowing he was guilty ! scott : your kid was collateral damage in your fight with the jerome family ! if you want to blame somebody , corinthos , you need to look in the mirror ! ava : sonny ! cut it out ! sonny ! sonny : i 'm gon na -- scott : it 's your fault ! [ next_on ] maxie ( to griffin ) : where is that witch ? ! jordan ( to curtis ) : if you go after sonny , i may go after you , too . nelle ( to michael ) : if sonny 's left alone , i 'm not sure he 's gon na make it . sonny ( to scott ) : i 'm coming after you . do you understand me ? carly ( slaps julian ) : say it again , you bastard !
alexis finds sonny outside the haunted star and offers her condolence for the loss of morgan while she urges him not to blame himself and assures him she and kristina there there for him . she later goes to the metro court and finds julian , coldly letting him know that she is aware and could care less that the bomb was installed in his car with the intend to kill him although she regrets that morgan had to pay with his life because of julian . hayden and finn are happily together ready to sleep together when tracy comes to his hotel room , interrupting them and reveals that while hayden was sleeping and unaware , finn made a call on her behalf to ask tracy to give hayden a job with elq . tracy assumes that it can only mean that hayden seduced finn in order to get him to do that although hayden is completely unaware that he made the call . she angrily tells tracy she does not want her job and tracy angrily tells hayden she would not hire her . hayden then concludes to finn that this had to have been his way of getting rid of her . she assesses to him she can see he does not want to get close to anyone because of the loss of his wife and he admits that may be true . franco is able to successfully obtain conclusive evidence to give to the cops that it was his mom who attempted to kill lucas and bobbie . she examines it and admits that he is correct and it 's no longer a safety liability to have gh running and it can re - open . tracy later comes by and finds out the positive news , asking the police commissioner whom the honorable member of the community is that saved her family 's hospital . jordan replies it was franco which shocks tracy . ava is alone with scott baldwin when they run into sonny who is on the brink of losing it and having a break down after losing not only morgan but carly and michael , and feeling responsible for his son 's death . max discusses his concerns about sonny 's state of mind with jason . sam also agrees that jason needs to be there for sonny and maybe they should postpone their plans to leave town in order to be there for morgan 's family .
lorenzo : you 're partially right . i have n't stopped loving you . carly : well , if it 's true , then i feel sorry for you , lorenzo , because i can not return the feelings . why do you stay here ? i 'm back with sonny . sage -- she was killed . why do you stay in port charles ? what 's left for you here ? lorenzo : what do you want me to say ? that it 's because of you ? [ scene_break ] steven : i do n't know if you 're aware of this , but ned 's not kristina 's biological father . now , that made him a long shot to be a bone marrow match , and he is n't . whatever the personal ramifications , they ca n't be more important than your daughter 's health . [ alexis sighs ] steven : alexis , we need to know who kristina 's father is . sonny : alexis ? hey . any luck finding a marrow donor for kristina ? alexis : no . i 'm not a match , and neither is ned . sonny : is it unusual that one of the parents is n't a match ? alexis : kristina has other relatives , and we 're going to test every single one of them . [ scene_break ] nikolas : damn it , i thought this nightmare was over . emily : yeah , i could 've sworn that we were alone on the bluffs with helena . do you think one of the servants saw you push her ? nikolas : no , i think it 's worse than that . helena wrote this note . i 'm telling you , somehow she survived that fall . [ scene_break ] skye : who the heck is lucky seven ? luke : i think she 's wise to us . she 's figured out that we 're working together and she 's trying to turn the tables on us . this is very interesting . skye : see , this is one of the many differences between us . you see this as progress . i see this as being frozen in place . luke : well , you 're not in prison and i 'm not hopped up in some psych ward . i see that as progress . skye : hey , do n't get me wrong , i happen to love the haunted star . i just never expected to actually be living here . luke : yeah , but see , forward motion is what we 've got . we 're thinking . i think , therefore i am . so let 's keep thinking . let 's -- let 's go over this layout of pentonville and secure faith 's escape route . skye : another plan that 's not going to work . luke : a tad pessimistic today , mabel ? skye : i told you , i 'm not a very good fugitive . luke : i know that . believe me , i know that . so the sooner we get you back to your blue - blood lifestyle , the better off everybody 's going to be . as for your disparaging remark about my plan , we 're here , are n't we ? my plans seem to be working so far . and if this one works , we 'll get faith to confess to duncan 's murder , you 'll be exonerated . then we 'll get her out of pentonville , she and justus will be gone , disappear somewhere , and we 'll be free to track down whoever this woman is who 's trying to ruin our lives . skye : have you given any actual thought as to what you 're going to do if this woman who killed detective duncan and framed you turns out to be your wife ? luke : hey -- skye : the woman who stalked me and tried to murder me , or is anything that laura does ok with you , luke ? luke : look , i know you 're having a bad day -- skye : a bad day ? luke : why do n't you let me handle my wife ! skye : hey , you 're not here exclusively , you know , luke . i 'm here , also . luke : i know . i know , i know , i know . so , what , you want to have a fight about my wife , or do you want to talk about what we do to get ourselves out of this mess ? skye : pay faith rosco to lie for us ? not the best plan . dillon : all right . all right , folks , this is it . i 'm done . this is the last thing i 'm stealing from my family . they 're starting to notice stuff is missing . [ scene_break ] tracy : i want this amazon 's room searched , and then i want her fired . monica : oh , tracy , you 're way ahead of yourself . this is my house , my staff . i do the hiring and firing . alice is not going anywhere . tracy : your precious alice has been robbing us blind . alice : i resent that . tracy : my diamond bracelet is missing . so is my swiss watch . so is that beautiful crystal candy dish in mother 's sitting room . those are just the obvious ones . alice : look , lady , i 'm no thief . i 've never stole a thing in my life , and i 'm not about to start by taking things that used to belong to dear mrs. lila . alan : i believe her . tracy : you 're an idiot ! alan : i think she 's been framed , either by you -- tracy : by me ? alan : yes , or by heather , who now has the run of the house because of my dopey father . monica : oh , speak of the devil , literally . edward : good , good , good , good . you 're all here . say hello to the newest quartermaine -- my wife , heather . [ scene_break ] emily : you 're jumping to a conclusion . nikolas : well , yeah , the obvious one . emily : not necessarily . just because we have n't found helena 's body does n't mean that she is n't dead . nikolas , you said it yourself , helena fell from the same bluff as stefan , and the fall killed him . it makes sense that it killed helena , too . nikolas : yeah , in a perfect world , emily , one where you and i have n't lived for very long . emily : she was washed away by that current , nikolas , i 'm sure of it . nikolas : then who wrote the note , hmm ? the gardener , the launch pilot ? some trespasser who -- emily : look , it does n't matter . no one can blackmail us because we are n't hiding anything . helena came after me with a knife . she meant to kill me . you stopped her and , in the struggle , she fell from the bluff . we told everything to the police . end of story . nikolas : right , except for the part where she fell , emily . i pushed her . someone wants me to pay for that . [ scene_break ] steven : alexis , it 's not uncommon for both parents to be incompatible as marrow donors . that 's why the donor registry exists . alexis : we need to call her other relatives . steven : sure , anyone who 's biologically related . alexis : i have a nephew . his name 's nikolas . [ scene_break ] ric : can i speak to you for a moment ? sonny : what do you want , ric ? ric : i asked you before ; could you please stay away from alexis ? sonny : i 'm just trying to be helpful here . ric : she 's uncomfortable around you on a good day , sonny , ok ? now her child is gravely ill . you want to help ? just keep a respectful distance . sonny : no problem . i 'm just concerned , you know , as a parent , but kristina 's a sweet kid . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : so do you hate me now ? carly : you know , it 'd be a lot easier if i did . but even now , after everything , no . look , lorenzo , honestly , i wish you well . i just -- why do n't you go somewhere else and just start over , start fresh ? lorenzo : carly , if i left now , i 'd be running , and i refuse . carly : but there 's nothing left for you here . lorenzo : well , having nothing left can be very liberating . you can pretty much take any risk you want when you 've got nothing left to lose . but i do n't expect you to understand . you 've got a lot at stake -- your children , your husband , even a father now . you know , i was just thinking how much morgan 's grown since that day a year ago when you shot me in the back and hit your wife in the head . sonny : i thought you were taking morgan home . carly : yeah , actually , i brought him up to visit mama . sonny , i did n't even know lorenzo was in the elevator till the doors had shut . sonny : what did he want ? carly : you heard him . he wanted to remind me that he was around to help deliver morgan . sonny : probably thinks i owe him . he may be right . it 's time i cancel the debt . [ scene_break ] heather : i assume you all received my fax . edward : what fax ? monica : oh , heather was thoughtful enough to fax us a copy of your marriage certificate . edward : really ? heather : i thought i 'd give everybody a head start on getting used to the idea and i was hoping when we got home that your family would be able to share in our happiness . oh , it 's just occurred to me -- you 're all my family , too , now . monica : ugh . alan : just because you dragged my father to the altar , do n't think i 'm going to start calling you mother . heather : heather will be fine . tracy : i have a better idea . how about thieving , gold - digging tramp ? edward : how about that 's enough , tracy . tracy : it 's not enough , daddy . there are things missing all over the house -- silver , crystal , art . monica and i are both missing jewelry . heather : you 're accusing me ? tracy : whoa ! congratulations . you 're not as dumb as you look . monica : all right , in the interest of family solidarity , i wo n't press charges if everything is back in place by morning . heather : you are looking at the wrong person . and as much as it pains me to say this , it seems to me you should shift your gaze to the more likely suspects , namely dillon and brook lynn . these are two teenagers running around the house completely unsupervised . they have constant access , anything they want . i know dillon is struggling to live on his own . maybe this is how he 's supplementing his allowance , by pilfering from the family . tracy : how dare you . edward : actually , he does look like a delinquent . i mean , just look at his hair . heather : i 'll let you - all sort it out . i 'm going to go upstairs and freshen up . excuse me . my bags are still in the car . bring them upstairs . alice : i do n't take orders from you . heather : you do now . [ scene_break ] lois : honey , a person 's word is a person 's bond . you made a commitment to sing . you signed a contract with simon niles of your own free will . brook lynn : yeah , well , that 's debatable . lois : did i hold a gun to your head ? i think you 'll remember that 's not the way it happened . no , you decided that you were ready for a career , so now there are people you 're responsible to , so , no , you do n't get to ditch rehearsal because currently you 're unhappy with your mother 's social life . brook lynn : look , i 'm not singing until dad comes and asks me to sing , all right , if in the event that he even does that . and , oh , by the way , while you 're with lorenzo alcazar , you have no say over my career . lois : i heard your ultimatum the first four times you gave it . fortunately , your dad 's back from his business trip and he should be here any minute . finally . you were supposed to meet us 45 minutes ago . ned : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i was at the hospital , so -- lois : is something wrong ? ned : kristina has been diagnosed with a blood disease . lois : ned , i 'm so sorry . ned : she needs a bone marrow transplant . so i got tested , but i 'm not a match . brook lynn : maybe i am . i mean , after all , kristina is my little sister . [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , suppose this unknown witness or whatever had a camera and took pictures of me pushing helena off the cliff . emily : why do you keep going to the worst - case scenario ? nikolas : well , what do you think the note was about , emily ? emily : someone is playing mind games , nikolas , trying to make us act and feel guilty . nikolas : ok , then who would do that other than helena ? hey , any news ? lucky : no , not yet . we 're dredging for helena 's body on the shoreline , but the forensics people agree there 's no way that she could 've survived that fall . [ phone rings ] nikolas : hello ? alexis : it 's alexis . i need you to come over to the hospital right away . nikolas : are you all right ? alexis : it 's kristina . my little girl is really sick . she has this thing called rylodysplastic anemia and she needs a bone marrow transplant , and i 'm not a match . nikolas : all right , i 'll be there right away , ok ? alexis : thank you . i thought you left . sonny : no , i 'm not here to bother you . i 'm just looking for alcazar . you have n't seen him , have you ? alexis : you 're going to have to forgive me . i have n't been able to keep track of the local criminals . i have more important things on my mind . sonny : alcazar . this has got to be the last time i catch you with carly or my children . lorenzo : or what ? you 're going to take a hit out on me like you did durant ? sonny : your innocent act does n't fly with me . i know you tried to frame jason for shooting durant , but your plan was n't thorough . the shooter left a latent fingerprint on the weapon for steven webber to find , but there was n't any powder or residue on jason 's hand or clothing . so what you really did was you wasted everybody 's time and you left a federal prosecutor you shot alive to come after you for attempted murder . screwed up . but this mistake could be fatal . lorenzo : corinthos seems to think you 're going to arrest me . john : yeah , well , unfortunately , i have no proof of mr. alcazar 's involvement in my shooting . lorenzo : of course not , because sonny 's the perpetrator , not me . you know , there 's a history here . a year ago , he shot me in the back when i was helping deliver your grandchild . sonny , why do n't you tell your father - in - law how you put a bullet in his daughter 's head , huh ? why do n't you tell him what a coward you are ? sonny : you 're going to die , and -- ric : sonny ! do n't do this . not now . this man is the least of your problems .

[ scene_break ] michael : i mean , it all makes sense now . the memories are starting to fit together . you know , jerry told me that claudia set up the hit , but something went wrong , and that 's why she kept saying she was sorry . you know , they kept telling me everything because they thought i was never gon na wake up . kristina : are you sure these memories are real ? michael : yes . kristina : then you have to tell dad . michael : well , if i do , what do you think he 's gon na do to claudia ? [ scene_break ] claudia : so , you think the south american partners are glad to see us go ? sonny : well , you know what ? they 'd rather wine and dine us to make it clear that they 're on board . uh , but the fact that we 're leaving now gives what happened to mo verde a chance to sink in . and the fact that you took that gun out of your purse lets everybody know that you saved my life . claudia : not that you did n't have it covered . come on . sonny : what i 'm saying is , now everybody knows that the corinthos and zaccharas are a powerful team , and nobody will even dare challenge us . claudia : that 's what this party 's about , right ? my birthday 's just an excuse . sonny : no , i told you i 'm gon na throw you a birthday party . it will send a message to everyone that , uh , nothing will ever be the same . [ scene_break ] olivia : what 's wrong with the two of you ? you talk like you 're best friends . you 're not even supposed to know each other . kate : okay . what happens at jake 's stays at jake 's . olivia : how long have you been drinking ? coleman : so what can i get for you , miss olivia ? hey . better give it up , d. she 's all mine , brother . olivia : i 'll have a glass of water , coleman , thanks . dominic : we have to shut her up . kate : oh , no . no , no , no . on the contrary , i 'm your only hope , honey . olivia : you just get yourself out of here , okay ? i will deal with this . dominic : not till i know she 's not gon na blow my cover . olivia : connie would never do that . no matter how she feels about the situation , she knows it 's not her secret to tell . kate : no , it 's not my secret . but it 's my obligation . as a falconeri , i need to do what 's right for both of you , whether or not you forgive me .

[ scene_break ] kristina : dad is married to claudia . he 'd never hurt her . michael : yeah , but if i explain to him and tell him that she 's responsible for getting me shot , he will . kristina : it does n't make sense . claudia 's been so nice to both of us . michael : and now i understand why . she was protecting herself , making sure that dad does n't suspect her . kristina : whatever claudia was doing , you do n't have to worry about it anymore . i 'm sure when you tell dad what you remember , he 'll turn it over to the police . michael : he 'll what ? kristina : your memories wo n't be enough to convict claudia , but maybe the new d.a . could open an investigation . whatever happens , it 'll be out of your hands and you can get on with your life . michael : kristina , dad 's not gon na go to the police about a hit that went bad . he will take care of the situation . kristina : you do n't mean dad would actually kill claudia . michael : well , that 's what she deserves , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] claudia : on friday at 7 p.m. , sonny is expecting a shipment of coffee . he 'll be here to sign off on it . it 's all very legit . ian : how do you know this ? claudia : i know . ian : he 'll have at least two bodyguards . claudia : no . the custom inspectors will be here so he can sign off on it in person . he ca n't risk having guards around . ian : i can do this . claudia : good . then we 're agreed . sonny dies on friday . jason : what do you think ? sam : well , claudia definitely ordered the hit on sonny . she definitely hired jerry and devlin , but to me it 's clear that no one expected michael to be in that warehouse . jason : okay , that 's fine , but he was . he took the shot ; the bullet ricocheted and took a year of michael 's life because of claudia . sam : jason , you were right all along and we can prove it . so now what ? [ scene_break ] robin : emma 's sleeping . i had a very interesting conversation about the individual versus society in medieval japan . patrick : what 's that ? robin : okay . talk to me . patrick : remember the first time that claudia came into the er ? i do n't remember why she was brought in , but i remember the terrible things she said to you when she found out that you were hiv - positive . remember ? she did n't even want you to touch her . robin : claudia 's an idiot . patrick : yeah . and i 've despised claudia ever since that evening . everything she stands for . robin : which makes it very difficult to know how to proceed , since we just helped jason find evidence against her . you know , i 've been thinking about it , too . patrick : see , the thing is , robin , if claudia was sick , if she was dying , we would try d help her . we would try and save her . we just did when she was in the car accident . robin : right . but how does that apply to this situation ? patrick : assuming jason finds proof that claudia 's responsible for michael 's shooting , we both know what sonny 's gon na do . so where does that leave us ? do we warn claudia ? do we just look the other way ? [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm gon na take care of claudia . she 'll pay for what she 's done . sam : you 're gon na have to tell sonny first . jason : sonny 's got a lot going on right now . sam : you do n't think he 's gon na notice if claudia just disappears ? look , i understand why you do n't want to say anything to sonny . he 's gotten a lot closer to claudia than anyone has ever expected , and even with the evidence on these cds , he still might order you to back off , and that puts you in an impossible position . jason : well , i 'm gon na have to think of something , because doing nothing is not an option . sam : okay , well , then why do n't we look at it from sonny 's perspective for a second . when all of this happened , claudia had every reason to believe that sonny was gon na kill her brother . so sonny just might say claudia taking a hit out on him is just business . jason : okay , michael getting shot was n't just business . claudia hired someone totally incompetent , who fired with a child in the room . sam : i know , but sonny just might say that it is n't claudia 's fault , that ian made a terrible mistake , he paid for it with his life , and it 's over . [ scene_break ] kristina : you ca n't be serious , michael . tell me you realize claudia does n't deserve to die . michael : i felt so close to dad that night , you know . going to the warehouse was a huge deal . i was trying to be all cool . but something happened . i do n't know if i 'm ever gon na remember it , but i just know what people told me . ian devlin pulled the trigger , and my life stopped . kristina : no , it did n't . you 're fine now . michael : yeah , but i 'm gon na be messed up on some level for the rest of my life because of claudia . she was trying to kill our father but messed it up . she did n't get it right . why should n't she have to pay for that ? kristina : what happened to you was terrible . of course you 're going to think about revenge . but you ca n't really want it to happen . claudia , i 'm sure she never meant to hurt you . michael : yeah , she meant to kill dad . how can you expect me to forgive her for that ? kristina : well , dad 's fine , too , and he and claudia seem very cool together . michael : so wait , you do n't think i should tell him after all ? you think i should just let dad stay with a woman who tried to kill him and shot me instead ? kristina : if these memories are even real . maybe claudia 's innocent , and maybe you 're just dreaming this whole thing up , just tike you freaked out when kiefer wanted to take me home . michael : i 'm talking about a woman who put me in a coma for a whole year , and you 're making this about kiefer . about some guy who -- who talked you into having sex with him and does n't even bother to call you . kristina : when did you get so mean ? michael : you know what ? i 'm sorry , kristina . i should be protecting you from this , not asking you to help me out of it . i 'm sorry . mike : hey . hey . you okay , honey ? kristina : yeah , grandpa . he 's just in one of his moods . mike : yeah . well , sweetheart , he gets that from his daddy . kiefer : hi , k. did you miss me ? [ scene_break ] olivia : listen to me . you turned your back on the falconeris a long time ago . do n't you dare threaten my kid now in the name of family . kate : i am attempting to make things right . olivia : connie , if you say one word that puts my kid in danger , you will be picking your ass up off the floor , after which time i will drag you out of this place by your hair . you understand me ? dominic : you know what ? before my mother resorts to physical violence , let me make this perfectly clear for you . nothing you can say will stop me from taking sonny down . if you blow my cover , i 'm dead . kate : it 's not that simple . dominic : oh , yeah . it really is . kate : no , really , it 's not . dominic : look , if you 're not gon na do it for me , do it for ma , because i 'll already be dead . but she might be dead as well . then it 'll be on you . think about it . olivia : you really are a piece of work . really , you know that ? you could n't be bothered for one second to be part of that kid 's life the whole time he was growing up . god forbid your tacky cousin from brooklyn would have ever showed up to your life in manhattan . and now , all of a sudden , after you swore you would n't , you threaten to ruin his life , tell sonny that he 's his kid . how could you do that ? kate : how could you not ? you 're only attacking me because you 're angry with yourself . olivia : you 'll know when i 'm attacking you , connie . this ai n't it . coleman : ladies , ladies , now , look , i can not have two such beautiful girls looking so upset tonight . it 's bad for biz . olivia : coleman , please take this bottle away before i break it over my cousin 's head . thank you very much . olivia : um , do you grasp the concept that coleman pays protection to the corinthos organization ? anything that you were about to say , if he overheard , he would be obligated to tell sonny . kate : right . and you could solve all this by telling the truth . olivia : why are you doing this now ? you 've known about this , what , since maxie 's wedding ? why now ? kate : because the closer dante gets to solving the case , the more danger he is in . olivia : if my son is in any immediate danger , i will tell the truth , all right ? why do you think i 've stayed in town this long ? kate : oh . i think we both know the answer to that , and it has precious little to do with dante . olivia : it has everything , everything to do with dante . my kid is a cop , connie , he is a really good cop . he 's not gon na back off because he finds out that his target happens to be his father . he 's not gon na back off for any reason . my only hope right now is that the nypd has got his back . kate : so why the hell 's he still on the case ? olivia : 'cause our good friend jax made some calls . he pulled some strings . he got dante put back on the case . knowing everything that we had to lose , knowing everything that was at stake . that 's how desperate jax is to get sonny put away . kate : okay , so now jax knows ? olivia : yes . way too many people know about this , connie . this would be a very excellent time for you to go off on one of your business trips or something , and stop running your mouth . and when you get back , dante will be back in brooklyn where he belongs . kate : and no one will ever know the truth . olivia : that 's right . kate : yeah . and there may be violence . olivia : i 'll step in before any of that can happen . kate : would you , olivia ? you 'd step in ? how much lead time do you think you 're gon na have on that ? i was shot at my wedding , in a matter of seconds . i saw michael collapse in a heartbeat . if you do n't deal with this immediately , there is a really , really good chance that sonny will kill his own child , or dante will kill his father , and you get to spend the rest of your life in hell knowing that you could have saved them both .

[ scene_break ] jason : brenda is motivated . she wants to go back to rome . she wants this over with . sam : i 'm sorry , but you 're the one who told me that brenda is impulsive and volatile . she is the wrong choice to handle a guy like this . jason : sam , it 's better than using you as a decoy . sam : well , i ca n't see why , jason . jason : well , i 'll tell you a couple of reasons why . because if the balkan realizes that he 's been double crossed , first , lucky 's cover 's blown . it 's over with . and you guys could die if something goes wrong . why would i do that ? sam : because brenda walking into this meeting could turn it into a disaster , and not on purpose . i know she genuinely wants to help . but you 're the one who said first that she has no idea what she can actually handle . i picture her walking into this meeting and jumping on some guy 's back that 's three times her size , and then , all of a sudden , she 's taken hostage . then what are you going to do ? jason . you have one shot to pull this off . you need me to make this work .

spinelli : a note terminating her employment . todd : exactly . proof positive that she 's an untrustworthy human being . spinelli : no , no , what that proves is that you -- you -- you were concealing evidence that you did not want her to find . and then you moved that evidence when you knew that she was on to you ! todd : sam has her baby back ! i do n't have time for this ! you need to -- you need to go back to your , uh , shire . spinelli : yes . sam has been reunited with her child . but she lost her husband . i 've been going through the motions pretending that he could still be alive , but i fear he is not . todd : you lied ?

why is that ? sam : because jason 's not dead . mcbain : you know something ? i do n't think he 's dead , either . monica : alan and i did . we made monumental mistakes with our sons . but that does n't get you off the hook for allowing joseph scully to go free . tracy : i did not allow anything . monica : you needed a man to want you so much , even though everything about him was a lie . tracy : no , you 're right . i - i never should have listened to anything joseph said . but he was n't 100 % bad . monica : [ chuckling ] do n't even . tracy : monica . he saved my life . monica : oh , really ?

it means that joseph scully was working with jerry jacks . sabrina : nurse webber , i 'm so sorry about that incident back there . it was completely my fault . i did n't know the history between dr. drake 's late wife and jason morgan . elizabeth : it 's , uh , it 's fine . [ sniffles ] sabrina : i gather mr. morgan meant a lot to you . elizabeth : i loved him . britt : i could n't help overhearing . are you okay ? patrick : no , i 'm not okay . i ca n't believe i went off on elizabeth like that . britt : there 's nothing wrong with being honest about your feelings . patrick : except i was n't thinking of how she 's feeling . elizabeth and jason , they had a child that was killed in a hit - and - run last year . britt : oh . that 's terrible . but it does n't change the fact that your wife gave her life helping a man who had no regard for his own . i mean , you have every right to be upset . patrick : well , thank you for understanding . anna : you 're going to be working at the haunted star ? duke : i am . well , you know lulu falconeri ? anna : yeah , but she -- you know who she is ? duke : yes , she 's luke spencer 's daughter . i know that . he was there . anna : and she still hired you ? duke : uh , i 'm not naive . i know she 's only given me a job so she can keep an eye on me for her father . anna : is n't there anywhere else you 'd rather work ? duke : anna , i looked everywhere . i could n't find anything . anna : i hope this little arrangement does n't backfire on the two of you . maxie : hey , ellie . just hanging out here with my peeps . ellie : oh , that 's right . you must be so devastated . maxie : why ? what happened ? ellie : well , you 're getting a divorce . maxie : oh . that is a transition . ellie : you are so brave , hiding your pain even though it 's obvious you do n't want to be alone . maxie : i 'm not alone . i have lulu . ellie : well , right . but lulu 's probably super - busy planning this whole halloween party , right ? lulu : yes ! thank you for acknowledging that , ellie . maxie : i acknowledge that you 're busy . lulu : saying `` i know you 're busy , but `` does n't count . ellie : well , it is settled , then . you are going to join damien and me . maxie : for what ? ellie : for the halloween party . lulu , we 'll have three tickets . maxie : for -- for you and spinelli . ellie : well , and you . damien told me how much he loves halloween , and he 's just really upset about jason . maxie : yeah , he and jason have a very complex relationship , one that might be difficult for an outsider to understand . ellie : oh , i know . he told me all about it last night . he talked about jason for hours . maxie : he did ? did6 - - did he tell you that , um , i planned jason and sam 's wedding , or that i was the one that encouraged jason to -- to propose to sam , or that i slept with jason 's psychotic twin brother and he sent creepy pictures of me to jason ? but that was long before we realized they were related . ellie : yeah . yeah , he told me all of that . maxie : oh . i 'm just saying spinelli 's not the only one who 's lost jason . i lost him , too . ellie : [ sighs ] i am so sorry , maxie . i wanted to cheer damien up by taking him to the halloween party , and now i realize i need to cheer both of you up . your tandem happiness is now paramount , and i know he 'll be as happy as me that you 're coming . spinelli : please , mr. manning . just give me something i can take to sam . todd : fine . you want the truth ? i 'll tell you the truth . diane : not another word , mr. manning . i thought we had been over this , but clearly we need a refresher course . please repeat after me . `` i have nothing to say . `` todd : i have nothing to say without my attorney present . spinelli : wait , i 'm sorry . you 're his attorney ? diane : as of last thursday . spinelli : so , you defended him against the kidnapping charges ? diane : unfounded charges , spinelli . completely without supporting evidence . spinelli : you manipulated the system so that he could escape punishment after causing sam unfathomable grief ? ! diane : okay . you 're upset . i get it . i understand . but that does not alter the fact that -- spinelli : as if her pain meant nothing ? ! now he will never have to pay for -- for robbing sam of the first few months of her child 's life ? diane : everyone has the right to an attorney , spinelli , and the best defense possible . spinelli : you have yet to comment on your client 's innocence or guilt . diane : and i 'm not going to . look , i get it . i understand . you and sam , you are looking for someone to blame . i am sympathetic , but i 'm not gon na stand here and allow you to hurl insults and accusations at my client . spinelli : i 'm only relieved jason is n't here to see what 's become of you . diane : jason was a professional . i am a professional . and he would completely understand that i am here to do a job . my personal feelings are out of it . [ sighs ] well , you know you 've sunk really low when the tech guy for the mob gets to question your principles . [ door closes ] todd : who cares what he thinks ? diane : i care . todd : he 's upset . so what ? he 'll get over it . diane : yeah , well , i guess i 'll just have to let him get over it . todd : yeah , you will . the important thing is that sam got the dna test , that sam knows that franco was n't the baby 's father , that -- that jason was . diane : uh , actually , she does n't know any of that yet . sam : you do n't think jason 's dead . mcbain : no , i do n't . there 's no body . in my book , that makes him not dead . sam : you do n't think i 'm crazy or in denial ? mcbain : no . you 're a wife , and you want to find out what happened to your husband . there 's nothing crazy about that . sam : they -- they -- they told me that he was shot before he went into the harbor and that the water was too cold and the current was too strong . but what if he 's still alive and the only reason why he 's not contacting me is because he ca n't ? mcbain : it 's too soon to say . sam : that 's why we have to hold on to hope . jason may still be alive . we need to know the full story first . mcbain : it 's possible . sam : [ sighs ] thank you . monica : where else could he have gotten the anti - toxin , tracy ? jerry was the only one who had it . tracy : as far as we know . monica : oh , my god . oh , my god . do you know -- do you know what this means ? you were sleeping with a man who tried to murder an entire town . well , he did murder cook . tracy : it could be worse than that . if joseph was connected to jerry jacks -- [ sighs ] -- he could have played a part in the metro court hostage crisis . what if he -- contributed to alan 's death ? monica : why -- why are you asking me , tracy ? what do the police say about scully 's involvement with jerry jacks ? tracy : i have n't told them . sam : what if someone 's holding jason against his will ? he 's made a lot of enemies over the years , mostly because of sonny , but he does have a few of his own . mcbain : it 's probably too soon to speculate . sam : if he washed up on shore or he 's in a hospital somewhere , at least no one 's hurting him on purpose . mcbain : right . sam , i -- sam : or maybe when he went to meet bernie at the pier , he got into some trouble and he had to go into hiding to protect me and daniel . mcbain : and leave you here to worry like this ? that scenario 's probably less likely . sam : so , what you 're telling me , that he 's either -- he 's either too hurt to communicate or he 's being held prisoner somewhere ? mcbain : there are other possible explanations . sam : anna told me that -- bernie was shot by two different guns . and scully 's son told the police that joe jr. , he was taking orders from someone . mcbain : i think i might know who it is . anna : you gon na be able to survive on a bartender 's salary ? duke : i 'm not destitute . when the federal government finally tracked me down and realized i 'd been incarcerated unlawfully , they had to make reparation for their incompetence . anna : they paid you for your time in prison ? duke : there would n't be enough money in the world to pay me for the time i was gone from you , but i have enough to keep you in the manner to which you 've become accustomed . anna : oh , no . you do n't have to worry about me . i can take care of myself , thank you very much . duke : i know that . but this has been an uphill battle for me , especially with luke casting doubts all over the place . anna : obviously i was gon na be concerned , too . duke : well , did you have to go so far as to compare my prints with what you have in the pcpd database ? anna : yes . now there 's no doubt . duke : good . and now i have a job . and i 'm gon na make an honest living . i 'm gon na prove myself to you . and when i do , we can have our happy life back together again . elizabeth : there 's a lot of history between me and jason . sometimes as friends . sometimes more . wish i had treated him better . sabrina : [ scoffs ] i 'm sure that 's not true . elizabeth : i lied to him about something really important because i was afraid if he knew the truth , that i would lose him forever . not that he was mine to begin with . sabrina : i 'm sure he knew how much you cared for him . elizabeth : yeah . he knew . but the timing was never right . jason accepted that . and i 'm still struggling with it . fortunately , i was -- i was able to come clean before it was too late . but for awhile , i was willing to do anything to hold on to him . [ sniffles ] no matter how wrong or desperate . sabrina : i think we all do stupid things when we 're in love . patrick : thank you for seeing my side of things . britt : it 's not that difficult . patrick : i should n't have lost my temper on elizabeth and sabrina . they did n't deserve that . britt : if you ever feel like raging about the injustice of robin 's death or the sacrifice that she made for jason morgan , come find me . i can handle what you dish out . patrick : thank you . todd : i ask you -- no . i pay you a ridiculous amount of money to do one thing . diane : top on the list of my services as an attorney is protecting my client 's freedoms , my client 's safety . that is my job ! todd : not for much longer , you keep screwing it up . diane : sam fervently believes that you had something to do -- with switching her baby for your ex - wife 's . todd : who cares what she fervently believes ? the only proof is currently in a coma ! diane : because now if she even suspects that you have been sitting on proof that jason is the biological father of her child , she will stop at nothing to see you hang . and she will get help from lieutenant mcbain and carly . todd : carly ? you -- you think carly would -- would turn on me ? diane : if carly even suspected that you had ever harmed her precious jason -- which , by the way , hiding his child from him , that would qualify -- carly would flatten you . todd : see , this is what happens . this is what happens when you try and do the right thing . my whole life has turned to hell . diane : well , i think that 's a bit of an exaggeration . todd : i 'm prone to hyperbole . that pain in the ass spinelli is right . he 's weird , but he 's right . sam deserves some comfort . carly deserves some comfort . they need to know that jason is the father . you need to figure out a way to tell them that does n't implicate me . elizabeth : we should get back to work . we certainly do n't want epiphany to write us up . sabrina : oh , god , no . elizabeth : sabrina . sabrina : yes ? elizabeth : you can call me elizabeth . sabrina : okay . elizabeth . britt : let me know if you want to get together later . patrick : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] patrick : hey . listen , um -- i owe you both an apology . elizabeth , i know how important jason was to you . and -- i should n't have said what i said . elizabeth : thank you , dr. drake . patrick : sabrina . sabrina : yes , dr. drake ? patrick : here , this is , uh -- for the flowers . it 's -- it 's nice of you . sabrina : oh . thank you . hey , i just -- i just wanted to say i 'm so sorry about sticking my foot in my mouth the other day about your wife . i should have thought it through . patrick : it 's -- it 's -- it 's fine . thank you . sabrina : well , i 'd still like to make it up to you somehow . is there anything that i can do ? patrick : well , actually , if , uh -- yeah , there is . monica : you failed to mention to the police that your boyfriend tried to poison port charles ? tracy : i did n't see what difference it would make . if jerry jacks and joseph were connected , it would n't change anything ! monica : you do n't know that ! you do n't know anything ! tracy : monica , i may have had a few lapses of judgment lately , but it does n't mean you need to get histrionic ! monica : i 've lost my sons , tracy , both of them , and alan , and emily ! i do n't have a family ! i am alone ! tracy : okay , on second thought , if you want to take it out on me , have at it . i may not have the best relationship with my sons , but ned and dillon are still alive , and your boys -- well , i respect the fact that they 're your sons and they 're gone and nothing 's gon na bring them back . duke : i should n't keep you . you got a murder to solve and a missing person to find . anna : right . um , do you have a number or , you know -- to contact you ? duke : you can come to my place . anna : oh , no . i - i do n't think i should do that . duke : anna . i have an apartment here . has a spectacular view . but you would know that already if you 'd come over there yesterday . anna : yeah . i -- i wanted to . um -- but , uh , luke was on this tear about the fingerprints , and -- so , it 's good we got all that out of the way . duke : yeah . it is . and now that we have , come to my home . it wo n't be a real home until you 're in it , anna . mcbain : scully had been charged with murder . he was being held without bail . then overnight , there 's a closed hearing and he goes free . i tried to find out who arranged his release , but they cover their tracks pretty well . sam : well , can -- can you try again ? mcbain : absolutely . i got to warn you . even if i find out who sprung scully , it may not be connected to jason . sam : or it might . [ knock on door ] mcbain : yeah . sam : [ sighs ] i think every knock is jason . spinelli : [ sighs ] maxie : you know , ellie , i 'm not -- i 'm not even sure i 'm in the mood to party with the divorce happening so close to my birthday . did you know that halloween is my birthday ? ellie : okay , well , then it 's definitely settled . damien would never want you to be alone on your birthday . come with us . maxie : i could n't intrude . ellie : no . no , you would n't be . if anything , i 'm asking for damien 's sake . maxie : why ? you think spinelli needs me ? ellie : yeah . of course . i mean , he 's beside himself over losing jason . he just needs to be around his friends . and you are one of his nearest and dearest . so please , maxie , will you join us ? lulu : so , what 's it gon na be , maxie ? two tickets or three ? maxie : three . ellie : excellent ! spinelli : i must apologize . i - i veered from my mission to locate jason and -- and instead explored a tangent . sam : what kind ? spinelli : well , i went to the metro court hotel to -- to force todd manning to admit that he had collaborated with heather webber to abscond with your child and exchange it with tea delgado 's . but alas , i failed . mcbain : you tried appealing to manning 's conscience ? uh , i could have saved you a trip . he does n't have one . spinelli : yeah , but that 's the thing . i felt like i was on the verge of cracking that nut , as it were . but then , of all people , diane came in . she 's his attorney . and she advised him to remain silent , which he did . and thus , i - i - i failed you and young daniel . sam : no , no , you did n't . that 's okay , spinelli . you tried . it 's all we can do . hey , i 'm really lucky to have you as a friend . diane : i will help you get the dna results to sam . but it 's going to cost you . todd : can i ask you something ? why do i bother keeping you on retainer if you keep asking me for more money ? diane : because i charge double for subterfuge . todd : you 're a lawyer . is n't that part of the job description ? is n't that kind of what you agree to when you sell your soul ? diane : the operative word , lucifer , is `` sell . `` check , please . todd : fine . make it out to beelzebub ? diane : [ chuckles ] all right . now i suggest you use a messenger service to get these results to sam as opposed to someone she knows personally . todd : she 's a private investigator . i 'm pretty sure she can see a license plate and track it back to us . diane : well , then use a bicycle service . todd : i do n't trust anybody who rides a bicycle . diane : all right . fine . you do n't like those , how about the good , ol ' u.s. post ? todd : what ? with , like , a forever stamp ?

[ crowd murmuring ] [ scene_break ] griffin : so it 's nice to know that it 's as simple as that . the guy that abducted you works for valentin cassadine ? maxie : he did n't actually say that to me , but who else would want claudette ? anna : well , valentin should still be in prison in greece . i 'm gon na verify that with the bureau . nathan : well , just because he 's locked up in prison does n't mean he could n't pay somebody to do it . anna : no , agreed . who we really need to talk to is the man who grabbed you , maxie . maxie : good luck with that . that guy took off as soon as he turned on the gas . nathan : but max did give a good description to our sketch artist , and an apb 's been put out . dante 's on top of the investigation , and the pcpd 's working in tandem with the coast guard and the state police , so ... anna : the sooner , the better . maxie 's safe , thank goodness . but for claudette and for charlotte , this is just the beginning . [ scene_break ] curtis : so , first you try to tell me where i can and ca n't work , and then you want to arrest me for doing my job ? now , i get that you 're under a lot of pressure , but do n't take that out on me . jordan : i can handle the pressure . what i ca n't handle is you getting in the middle of an active investigation . curtis : i am not trying to interfere with your investigation . now , if this lecture is done -- jordan : you are doing sonny 's dirty work . you 're either destroying or planting evidence to obscure the truth from that bombing . now , sonny corinthos -- he tried to kill julian jerome , and you know what ? he killed his own son instead . so , if he wants justice , he needs to turn himself in instead of hiring guys like you to muddy up the water . okay ? it 's not gon na serve morgan ... you 're not serving sonny , right ? curtis : wh -- you know what ? we 're done here . you pull it together , commissioner . jordan : oh , my god . you 're working for julian . [ scene_break ] carly : what did you say ? ! no , i want to make sure i hear every pathetic word that came out of your mouth . julian : clearly , you 're upset right now -- carly : you came into my restaurant and my hotel , and you 're talking trash about my kid . morgan 's dead because of you , because you were n't rotting in a prison cell . julian : i 'm not responsible for what sonny does , okay , carly ? carly : you 're a liar and a murderer and a coward . and my son is dead , but i can still protect him . so come on . julian : okay . carly : come after me ! try putting a knife to my throat . alexis : carly . carly , carly . julian : easy , easy . carly : i want you to get out . julian : everybody just needs to relax . carly : get out ! get the hell out ! julian : i 'm leaving . carly : get out of my restaurant . get out of port charles . julian : just relax . carly : everyone wanted you dead . everybody wanted -- get out ! julian : i 'm leaving . carly : get -- get out ! [ glass shatters ] [ scene_break ] ava : i 'm sorry about your daughter . i really am . but sonny corinthos -- h - he 's dangerous on an average day , and now he -- he 's grieving . you ca n't provoke him like that . scott : provoke him ? he 's a maniac . he attacked me , had his hands around my throat . we would have had a fight to the finish if jason had n't showed up . ava : yes , well , you 're welcome . scott : for what ? ava : i texted jason as soon as you and sonny started going at it . scott : well , you should have texted the police , because i 'm gon na call them right now . ava : what ? no , no . no , you will do no such thing . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] sonny : why the hell did you stop me ? i would have snapped his neck . he 's the reason -- baldwin is the reason that julian walked . if julian were in prison right now , my son would still be alive . jason : sonny . we still do n't know everything about what happened that night . sonny : well , we know that i had to use a broker . we know that i had -- i had no control over the hit . and we know that , in a million years , i would n't have ordered it , right ? i would n't have ordered that car bomb . we also know ... ... that the man i trusted refused to do the job . and now my son is dead . jason : you 're blaming me for morgan 's death ? [ scene_break ] nathan : yeah , thanks for the update , murphy . i 'm off the clock for the next three hours , but please call me if you get something new . claudette ordered a flight this afternoon to calgary -- superiorair , flight 671 . she should be landing soon , where the canadian police will be waiting to take her into custody . anna : great . i will have a wsb agent on site , and i will make sure that claudette calls you . and then you can let her know that charlotte is okay . griffin : thank you . anna : and that we are able to protect them both from valentin . nathan : you know , claudette warned me that valentin had powerful friends with a long reach , but it looks like she was right . i want to make sure that charlotte and her mother are safe . griffin : hey , look , thank you so much , but claudette and charlotte are no long your responsibility . they 're mine . nathan : look , it does n't matter that i 'm not her father . okay , she 's a child . she is innocent in all of this . and it is my job to protect and serve , and that 's what i 'm gon na do . you have my word . [ scene_break ] jordan : tj implied that maybe you were working for sonny , but i really could n't understand him , because why would he hire an outsider ? why would he do that when he 's got people of his own to do that kind of thing ? curtis : i 'm sure he does . jordan : why would he hire somebody so close and with such clear ties to the police department ? huh ? curtis : who knows why sonny does anything he does . jordan : curtis , just give up . it 's done . you 're working for julian . you 're not working for sonny . you 're working for julian ? what have you got ? huh ? whatever information you have that 's pertinent , it 's your obligation to tell me . curtis : my obligation ? jordan : yes , it is . curtis : my obligation ? jordan : absolutely . curtis : oh , not living . look , remember , i came to you for a job at the pcpd , right ? you refused . fair enough . so i busted my ass to build a thriving pi business . [ scoffs ] and you want me to give you all the information that i uncovered ? oh , hell no . jordan : you realize i can charge you ? i can charge you with interfering with an investigation . curtis : what investigation ? you ai n't got nothing . jordan : just stop , curtis ! curtis : i 'm ... you do n't get it . i 'm trying to stop a war out there . jordan : if you prove that sonny ordered that bomb , then julian 's gon na retaliate , and then there 's gon na be more blood . do you get that ? curtis : julian does n't need proof to retaliate . julian needs proof to put sonny away in prison . jordan : what are you saying right now ? curtis : i 'm saying that julian jerome has lost faith in the pcpd . and that is why i 'm investigating . [ scene_break ] alexis : carly . can i call someone for you ? carly : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . alexis : you do n't seem fine . carly : well , you know what ? you do n't seem so great yourself . alexis : well , i 'm barely holding it together , but that 's nothing new . carly : [ exhales sharply ] alexis : i 'm surprised to see you here . carly : um ... i did n't want to be home and ... think about how morgan 's never gon na walk back in the door again . [ sighs ] alexis : i am so sorry . carly : can i tell you how much i hate that expression ? why are you sorry ? you did n't hurt my son . and no matter how sorry you are , nothing you or anyone else does can bring him back . [ scene_break ] ava : no , look ! if sonny is arrested , the first thing he 'll do is call diane miller . and the first thing she 'll do is have him tell her everything that led up to this altercation . scott : `` altercation `` ? he tried to choke me to -- ava : and the longer that sonny thinks about our conversation tonight , the more likely it is that he will become suspicious about my ... role in what happened to morgan . scott : wh -- wh - why would he suspect anything ? ava : [ sighs ] because of his personal experience . he knows every single symptom of bipolar disorder , scott . and it might occur to him that morgan was acting like somebody who was off their meds . and then he might remember how i was found in morgan 's room the other night and how i had access to that house every single time i visited avery . he could get suspicious . he could start putting the puzzle together . it might occur to him that maybe i tampered with morgan 's medication , which then led to a manic state , which ultimately led to morgan 's death . and how long after that do you think sonny is gon na let me live ? scott : you do n't think you 're getting a little paranoid here ? ava : well , you 're my attorney . so just keep your mouth shut , then . we just need to step back , keep cool , let nature take its course . scott : let sonny just destruct all by himself . [ scene_break ] michael : my dad ... uh , how bad is it ? nelle : obviously , i do n't know him that well . but from what i can tell , sonny 's very powerful and strong . you know , you meet him and there 's no question about who 's in charge . but lately , that 's not how he 's been . he 's drinking all the time . when you talk to him , it 's like there 's a delay . takes him a few seconds to respond . the only time he seems focused is when he 's with avery . michael : ah . well , i 'm glad he has avery to take his mind off morgan . nelle : yeah , but , michael , she 's a baby . it 's not her job to make things better for him . i do n't know all the ins and outs of your family , but i can see what 's in front of me . if sonny 's left alone to mourn and grieve for morgan , look , i 'm not sure he 's gon na make it . [ scene_break ] sonny : you should go ahead and leave , jason . jason : yeah , i think it 's better if i stay . sonny : no , no , no . look , i 'm not gon na have this conversation about why you ca n't do what i need you to do . you -- you made your decision . i accept it . let 's just -- let 's move on . jason : i made a decision to start over . sonny : right , and i honored the choice , but here 's the thing . we used to be able to be honest with each other , so i 'm gon na be honest with you right now . you could have eliminated julian [ snaps fingers ] bam , like that , and my son would still be alive . but that 's when you were the person i could count on . i ca n't count on you anymore . [ scene_break ] curtis : now , i will give you a copy of the report just as soon as i 'm done with the investigation and as soon as my client authorizes the release of information . jordan : wow . you know , you need to leave julian out of this and just do the right thing . curtis : i 'm paid to provide a service . julian jerome wants results , and you know damn well that i can get them for you . in fact , i think you hate me , because i 'm better at this than your whole department . jordan : wow . um , actually , my officers are perfectly competent . curtis : [ scoffs ] jordan : actually . curtis : right . you know damn well as soon as i walk out of here , you 're gon na call an all - hands - on meeting , tell them heads will roll if they do n't get to sonny . see , you ca n't afford to have me beat you to the punch , can you ? in fact , i think you 're threatened by me . jordan : [ chuckles ] the hell i am . curtis : mm . then what is it , huh ? what about me are you afraid of ? [ scene_break ] griffin : okay , so what do we do now ? anna : we are n't going to do anything . you 're gon na get some sleep , and i 'm gon na make some calls . griffin : are you sure all this is necessary ? i mean , these people are after claudette , not charlotte . anna : well , so says claudette . griffin : right , and so little of what claudette has said has been true . anna : you know , i think it 's unlikely that charlotte is the target . i feel that valentin is sort of obsessed with claudette . and then , by her leaving , she 's kind of drawn the danger away , thankfully . griffin : yeah , i mean , if -- if you 're right , claudette sacrificed herself for her daughter 's well - being . that makes her a far better mother than i ever gave her credit for . a far better mother than i could ever be a father . [ scene_break ] alexis : i hope you know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers , and i wanted to come by and tell you that , but i did n't think that that would help . we 've had our differences . carly : yeah , we have .

[ scene_break ] jason : you think i failed you ? okay , maybe i did . sonny : no . my problem 's solved . i did n't do it . now my son paid the price . jason : i think you made the best decision you could , given the situation . sonny : i made the wrong decision . jason : listen to me . you adjusted . you called off the hit . the bomb should have never been planted . let me find out who screwed this up , okay ? sonny : it 's not gon na bring morgan back . it 's not gon na absolve me . jason : i 'm gon na find out the truth for you . let me do that . sonny : here 's the truth . i set this in motion . right ? it was my whole doing . carly begged me not to go , begged me to leave julian alone , and -- and i did n't do it , because i believed it was right . now carly is gone . my son is dead . michael 's gone . i got nothing left . jason : i 'm still here , sonny . sonny : who are you kidding ? i lost you a long time ago . [ scene_break ] curtis : so , if i 'm up under your skin , it 's either because you have a problem letting me win ... or you like it .

[ clicks tongue ] it was always the two of us . and now he 's gone because of my dad . [ sighs ] i - i do n't know how i can forgive that . nelle : michael , i 'm not saying that you have to forgive him . but somebody that you love is in pain , just as you are . and if you think there 's anything that 's worth holding onto in your relationship with your father , then ... think twice about abandoning him .

sonny engages in a brawl with scott baldwin at the haunted star when scott blames sonny for his daughter , karen 's death as well as for morgan 's death . sonny lashes out at scott and blames him for getting julian acquitted , which caused morgan 's death . jason goes to intervene and attempts to reach sonny yet sonny admits to jason that he has nothing left in his life , with morgan dead , carly and michael both abandoning him , as well as declaring to jason that he 's not the same friend he once counted on . sonny admits to jason that the `` old jason `` would have eliminated julian in order not to cause all the things that have happened , and he can no longer count on jason to be there for him . he admits he wants nothing more to do with jason because all he can think of is all the things he 's lost . meanwhile , michael goes to the railroad bridge with nelle who listens to him reminisce about his life with morgan , how things will never be the same , and how he can not forgive his father for what caused morgan 's death . meanwhile , carly is alone at the metro court . alexis is also there , drinking and upset and they both confront julian when he enters . carly furiously runs julian out of her hotel . alexis calls michael to come see his mom . curtis reveals to jordan that he is conducting a private investigation on his own that is none of hers nor the pcpd 's business , especially after she 's refused to give him a job on the police force . at first , she assumes he may be working for sonny and warns him not to do that . yet she then realizes he 's working for julian and clearly expresses her concerns about that . he reminds her , however , that the cops have done nothing . he might succeed where they fail , he declares , although he has yet to prove that sonny tried to kill julian with the car bomb . claudette has fled and left charlotte with griffin . yet he has doubts that he is fit to take care of a child , reminding anna of the very mistake he and claudette made that conceived charlotte in the first place . nathan later obtains information that although claudette boarded a flight back to canada , she did not get off the plane . maxie admits to nathan that although she does not care for claudette , she does not wish harm on her , given that valentin is apparently after her along with the anonymous guy who kidnapped maxie . when ava is alone , she gets an incoming call from an unknown number , and it appears nikolas cassadine is calling her .

[ drawer closes ] johnny : knock yourself out . anthony : you 're too kind . johnny : yeah ? and you 're too calm , considering the circumstances . why lisa ? anthony : i wanted somebody to make patrick drake regret his superior attitude . i deserve respect . johnny : and what ? this is how you get it , giving an unbalanced woman an unbalanced dose of wake - up juice ? what about hiring somebody to break his fingers ? anthony : i like irony . johnny : you like chaos . anthony : no ! i like to remind people of their place . dr. patrick drake -- you know what he is ? a hypocrite hiding behind the hippocratic oath . who is he to look down his nose on me ? ! hotshot surgeon , holds the power of life and death in his hands . he 's nailing lisa niles behind his wife 's back and making lisa crazy ! guess what . i hold the power of life and death in my hands , too . johnny : yeah , and guess what . i 'm the one that almost died . got a needle jabbed in my neck . anthony : i got a rusty tenpenny nail in my gut ! johnny : you want to compare wounds ? ! anthony : there really is no irony in you at all , john . look at the poetry . was n't it a needle that brought you two kids together in the first place ? johnny : you think this is a joke ? anthony : i think you 're overreacting . lisa did n't want to kill you . whatever this thing was she woke up as , if she wanted somebody dead , they 'd be dead . lisa : you do n't want to get me sick . you want to kill me , remember ? [ scene_break ] [ robin gasps ] patrick : it 's okay . sorry . i did n't mean to startle you . robin : for a split second , i -- patrick : yeah , i know . what are you doing back out here ? robin : i was looking for my watch . it came off , i guess , when i was fighting with lisa , and it was right where i thought it would be . see , i fell and hit my head and cut my arm right there . but then you found me all the way over there , so ... how is that possible ? patrick : it 's over now .

[ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] josslyn 's sound asleep . i think she knows it 's ... safe now . shawn : hmm . no , she picked it up from you . carly : i do feel safer -- a little bit , you know , now that i know franco 's not here and that jason is and you are . means i can let my guard down a little and relax , and you can relax .

[ scene_break ] steve : i 'm gon na check on my sister . i want someone to take a look at you . olivia : i 'm fine . steve : epiphany , could you look after olivia , check her vitals , see if she has a temperature , and maybe run a blood panel ? olivia : i 'm not gon na tie up the lab with doing unnecessary blood work . steve : you were nauseous and dizzy . olivia : we were on a boat . i was seasick . epiphany : okay . excuse me . can you please let me know when you two figure this out ? steve : okay , you do n't have a fever . does n't seem like you have a fever anyway . olivia : that 's because there 's nothing wrong with me . i 'm gon na sit right here in this chair until you find out that everything 's okay with your sister , and then i 'm gon na head home . steve : you sure ? olivia : i 'm fine . [ scene_break ] [ elevator bell dings ] spinelli : the jackal is relieved to see maximista unharmed . i mean , i - i - i know firsthand how lethal the demented dr. niles can be . maxie : can you believe i went to all that trouble to get onto the boat and all matt cared about was elizabeth ? spinelli : well , perhaps you 're unaware the jackal was the one that rescued fair elizabeth from the shores of spoon island . some might call the action heroic . [ both chuckle ] maxie : you could n't have just left her ? okay , i guess not . but god knows , i 'm sure she 's just pretending to be hypothermic for sympathy . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] monica : well , at first , she was groggy and she was disoriented . matt : well , did you do a blood panel and chest x - rays ? monica : we ran a battery of tests , and as soon as i get the results , i 'll let you know . matt : okay .

julian gets to spend some time alone with baby leo at his new house with alexis , while she shows him how to change diapers and care for a baby ; something he has absolutely no experience with . he invites sam and lucas to come to the new house and visit their baby brother . meanwhile , olivia wants to make peace with julian but also believes she needs spiritual guidance . she finds dante and lulu at the hospital and protests to them that she knows they have perfect morals and are exemplary role models for a child . dante is clearly not uncomfortable to hear his mom tell him that , realizing that he 's keeping a secret from everyone that he slept with his wife 's cousin . nikolas and hayden are at the floating rib when they run into sam . he reminds sam he could have her and jake arrested for breaking into his house and hacking his computer but she reminds him jake could do the same to him for illegally testing jake 's dna . she does , however , inform her cousin that jake has decided , against her recommendation , to call it off . she informs nikolas that jake is going to marry elizabeth and have a future with her regardless of what nikolas may know or think he knows . meanwhile , nikolas is growing closer to hayden . she still suspects nothing about him nor reveals that she remembers anything that she remembered before she got shot and lost her memory . sabrina declines michael 's marriage proposal , telling him they need to get to know each other better and should not get married just because she 's pregnant . yet , there may be another reason . she does not want to reveal to anyone exactly when she is due or when the baby was conceived paul hornsby goes to talk to anna after finding out she went to the morgue without proper authorization and asks her what she was looking for . she admits to him she 's suspicious of the autopsy report and now that carlos rivera has been cremated , it gives her more cause for suspicion and she admits to him she does not believe the body in question even was carlos rivera . he finds out that she suspects that somebody falsified the murder investigation to cover up something they do n't want anyone to find out . still , nobody has a clue that sloane has been murdered much less that paul murdered him . yet he indicates that he more than likely knows that she murdered carlos , and therefore it may not be in her best interest to double - cross him knowing what he knows .. maxie brings the big check nina wrote to the haunted star but tells dillon she will tear it up unless he tells her this `` secret `` he 's told everyone he knows about dante . he `` distracts `` her and does not reveal it yet he clearly has lulu on the brain . she and dante come by and dante confronts dillon . they have their private conversation about the big secret , which both maxie and lulu are still unaware of . in their heated argument , dillon concludes he 's done keeping dante 's secret and he announces to lulu there is something he needs to tell her .

[ scene_break ] sonny : morgan ... ... i wanted to be everything that my father was n't when i was a boy . i wanted to give you so much . i wanted to protect you ... ... and give you the life i never had . i failed . i failed . oh , i failed . and now you 're gone , my beautiful boy . i ca n't do it anymore . i ca n't fail anybody else . forgive me . robin : sonny ! sonny : robin ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i take it the problem between you and curtis is n't just a simple family matter ? jordan : i - i do n't want to involve myself in your personal relationship again , but curtis is forcing my hand . valerie : you 're my boss , but we 're also friends . so if there 's something you think i should know ... jordan : i 'm not gon na tell you to break up with him , okay ? but i got to tell you -- the longer that you stay in a relationship with curtis , the greater the odds that he 's gon na jeopardize your job and god knows what else . [ scene_break ] jason : honestly , is this a robbery ? because if it is , you must be pretty dumb . there has to be a much less risky target . curtis : nothing 's been taken . how about i just walk out of here right now , and this whole thing could be over ? jason : i 'm trying to remember , and sometimes that 's not so easy for me . but you 're a private investigator , right ? so , who hired you to investigate sonny ? [ scene_break ] griffin : you think i should give up charlotte ? you agree that i 'd be a bad parent . anna : no . for the record , i have seen nothing that would lead me to believe you would be a bad father . nobody knows what kind of parent they 're going to be until they are one . this is your decision to make . it 's not my future . it 's yours . griffin : and charlotte 's . anna : i - i 'm just telling you what the options are so you can weigh them and to remind you that i 'll support you no matter what . griffin : even if i abandon my daughter ? anna : well , i - i do n't see placing your child with people who want and love her as abandonment . it 's a heart - wrenching decision , but parents do make it . i mean , you know , some people are n't equipped to be a father or a mother . you know , i was n't . [ scene_break ] robin : sonny , what are you -- what are you doing here ? sonny : the same thing you 're doing . i just come -- i like to come here to ... remember . how 's patrick ? emma ? robin : um , he 's good . he -- he could n't come this time , but emma did . she 's at felicia 's . sonny : [ sighs ] so , uh , you -- you ... how 's it -- how 's it out west ? robin : we 're still deciding , you know ? we like it , but we miss port charles . we miss our friends and our family . sonny : yeah , we miss you , too . robin : sonny ... sonny : why did you come here ? you , uh ... you miss the cold weather ? robin : no , i do n't miss the cold weather . i ... i came for you . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't doubt that your father is hurting . he knows he 's responsible for morgan 's death . michael : okay , mom , dad 's bipolar . a loss this huge could push him over the edge . i just ca n't help but wonder if we should -- we should do something . carly : like what ? michael : keep an eye on him . i know max is keeping an eye on him , and nelle agreed to stay over tonight to watch avery . but [ sighs ] carly : but they 're not family . michael : no . mom , i 'm -- i 'm sorry for asking you this . carly : do n't . do n't do that , okay ? i do n't ever want you to apologize for caring about your dad . michael : i know you 're hurting . uh , and i know how hard it was for you to walk away . just , uh ... i do n't think i can . carly : baby , i 'm not gon na be upset if you let go of the anger you have at your dad . michael : do you think you would be able to ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm just a little toxic right now . i got -- i 'm not good company . people might say i 'm dangerous . i just need to be left alone . robin : well , i think i 'll stay ... if that 's okay with you . i came by to say hello to stone . sonny : this place has a lot of meaning for you . robin : and you too . it was a lot colder that night that we scattered stone 's ashes . remember ? on the bridge ? i mean , it was a different bridge , but ... ... the river and the city lights are still the same . i remember us both standing here holding that box . and then brenda showed up . the three of us said goodbye together . sonny : it 's been a while since i paid my respects . robin : i think stone would forgive you for that . he will not forgive you for bringing a gun . so why do n't you hand it over for me ... and for stone ? [ scene_break ] valerie : what happened between you and curtis today ? jordan : julian jerome hired curtis to undermine the department 's investigation into the murder of morgan corinthos . your boyfriend may have claimed to clean up his act , but he 's as dirty as ever . [ scene_break ] curtis : where 's the professional consideration ? i 'm pretty sure that sam does n't break client confidentiality , so i ca n't believe you 'd expect me to . jason : i 've got detective falconeri 's number right here . want me to use it ? curtis : okay , look . i 'm looking for information about a car bomb . jason : whose orders ? curtis : an interested party . jason : okay , julian . he 's , uh , trying to tie sonny to the bomb in his car . taking advantage of sonny 's grief , he figured he could find some sort of proof before sonny -- curtis : before he what ? buries his son ? huh ? picks up where he left off and finishes what he started ? [ scene_break ] griffin : you gave robin up ? anna : yeah . well , i 'd made this terrible professional mistake . and i had been entrapped by this man . he was not a good man . i was young and desperate . all i knew at the time was that if the truth came out , i would be seen as an enemy of the state . and it was around then that i found out that i was pregnant . and i hid my pregnancy , and i gave birth in secret , and ... [ voice breaking ] i had a few really precious days with robin ... ... and i [ sniffles ] i gave her to a dear friend to raise . and i supported them financially through questionable means . and i saw her occasionally . not often enough . and she kind of knew me just as a friend of the family . she called me `` luv . `` griffin : love ? anna : that was her father 's pet name for me . and robert did n't know , you know , about her . he did n't know about robin . so that 's not very different from you and claudette , is it ? griffin : yeah , but your story has a happy ending . anna : well , yes , eventually , but it took me five years to claim robin as my own . [ breathes deeply ] and i still regret every day ... every day that i missed being with her . [ scene_break ] carly : your father and i ... look ... michael : i 'm not lobbying you one way or the other , i promise . i just want to make sure you 're doing what 's right for you . carly : what 's right ? what could be right about losing morgan ? michael : yeah . i think you and dad are his parents . you 're the only people who know what the other 's going through . carly : yeah , okay . i 'm gon na be dealing with these feelings for a long time , so i ca n't even begin to think about that . i mean , not when morgan 's not even ... he 's not even buried . [ sniffles ] and the truth is , you know , i do n't know what kind of future i have with sonny , or if i have a future with him at all . michael : yeah . same here . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sorry if this gun makes you nervous . it 's just a gun . i just -- i have to carry it around , you know ? you -- you can never be too careful . robin : [ sighs ] right , but it 's just us here , so you do n't have anything to fear from me , do you ? sonny : of course not . robin : well , then there 's no need for a gun . sonny : oh . i do n't know about that . robin : why do you say that , sonny ? sonny : i could use it to put an end to julian jerome . robin : are you contemplating putting an end to julian jerome ? or ... are you contemplating putting an end to yourself ? [ scene_break ] griffin : what kind of priest has a child ? anna : one who 's had a crisis of faith . i mean , you ca n't be the first , surely . griffin : i mean , what kind of role model walks away from his own daughter ? anna : one who is scared for her safety . griffin : anna , you 're letting me off the hook . anna : no , i 'm just telling you what your options are . charlotte would be placed with a foster family ... one that has been screened and approved . griffin : so , from -- from claudette , to nathan , to me , to these other people -- i mean , will these unknown people be better parents than me ? anna : what do you think ? griffin : [ sighs ] i do n't know . maybe anyone would . i - i do n't know the first thing about any of this . anna : you 're overthinking this , griffin . you are . all any person needs to be a parent is born of two things -- human instinct and love . now , you do n't lack for either of those things , do you ? why do n't you go and find out ? [ scene_break ] jason : sonny did n't plant that bomb . curtis : sonny do n't have to plant that bomb . he 's got people to do that kind of thing for him , you know ? people like you . jason : hmm . let 's say sonny did it . do you really think he 's dumb enough to leave evidence just lying around in his office ? what are you looking for ? curtis : with all due respect , he was dumb enough to plant a bomb and get his son killed . jason : oh , you need to watch that . curtis : whoever planted that bomb was as stupid as they were lucky . if that bomb was set to go off when the driver keyed the ignition , it could have taken out half of the floating rib , too . jason : how do you know the bomb was rigged ? curtis : what 's it worth to you ? jason : it 's worth discretion . you were n't here . curtis : okay . uh , coming up , i did a stint with the bomb squad , right ? if i had to make a guess , i would say that , uh , the device was armed when the driver sat down , and it blew when he took his weight off the seat . jason : so that means the bomb was planted after julian 's driver left the vehicle [ chuckles ] in the floating rib parking lot right before morgan got in the car . that 's not a big window . curtis : but doable . jason : what about a timer ? curtis : two chancy . might go off when nobody 's in the car . and if there had been a spotter , right , ready to set the bomb off by remote ... jason : they would have known that julian was n't in the car . curtis : so , if you have questions about the bomb , why do n't you just ask the man who set it up ? unless [ breathes deeply ] he 's already been taken care of . forget i asked . jason : yeah , you should go . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] officer : excuse me , commissioner . forensics report on the jerome car bomb just came in . jordan : thank you . valerie : you know , curtis knows better than to pump me for information on a case . he respects me . sounds like you do n't . jordan : can you -- can you file this ? please . i have to go . [ scene_break ] carly : i want you to do something for me . michael : yeah . anything . carly : i want you to stop running around and putting out fires , shouldering other people 's burdens . you know ? let me pick up some of the slack . michael : hey , no , mom . you 've got enough going on . carly : so do you . you and morgan were so close . now , i know you 're grieving , too . michael : i 'm fine . i 'll be ... i 'm -- i 'm okay . carly : do n't . do n't do that . michael : do n't do what ? carly : shut off and withdraw . michael : nah . mom , i 'm right here . carly : yeah , you 're right here . you 're right here worrying about your father and taking care of me ... taking care of everybody else at your own expense . [ chuckles ] talk to me . okay , if you do n't want to talk to me , call jason , dante , kristina . hell , talk to some stranger , baby , but do n't keep it bottled up inside . that 's not gon na do you any good . michael : yeah , what do you want me to say ? carly : i want you to say what you 're thinking . what are you feeling ? michael : i feel ... i feel like a bad brother . [ scene_break ] robin : is that what this is , sonny ? you came to this bridge with a gun to kill yourself ? sonny : of course not . why would you think that ? robin : because i 've been there before . there was a time right after my diagnosis that i stood in this very spot [ chuckles ] wondering what was in store for me . sonny : you had reasons . robin : to die ? sonny : to live . robin : yeah , but i did n't know that then . all i knew is that i was going to die this painful , ugly death and that everyone that i knew and loved would -- would have to watch as aids consumed me . i thought jumping was the only way out . sonny : jason stopped you . robin : that 's right . he did . sonny : right . robin : and then everything started to change . and now i have a life . i have a husband . i have a family . i have a future . and , see , i know that you do n't see that right now , but you have all those things , too . sonny : there 's no coming back from what i did . my son is dead because of me , robin . robin : so , what , then ? it 's better to kill yourself than to live with what you 've done ? sonny : it 's the right thing . robin : oh , morgan would not agree with that . sonny : why would you say that ? ! you did n't even know morgan , robin ! robin : fine . i did n't . but i knew the man that he was named for -- morgan stone corinthos . and stone would be appalled and ashamed that you are so ready to give up your life when he fought with everything he had to hang on to his . [ scene_break ] griffin : hey , charlotte . what 's wrong ? you could n't sleep ? i do n't -- i do n't blame you . you had a pretty rough day . i bet you were thinking about your mom , huh ? charlotte : is she back yet ? griffin : no . no , i 'm sorry , sweetheart . she 's not . charlotte : will she be back tomorrow ? griffin : i do n't know . but prob -- probably not . hey , um , you know what your mom was telling me ? she was telling me how much she loved you . can you guess how much ? she told me she loved you all the way around the moon and all the way across the stars and wherever the sun shines and back again . charlotte : that 's a lot . griffin : it is . when somebody loves you that much , they ca n't stay away for very long . who 's your friend ? charlotte : her name 's pinky . griffin : oh . well , hi , pinky . it 's very nice to meet you . do you think a bedtime story might help pinky fall asleep ? yeah ? all right , let 's go . come on . anna : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] curtis : hey , val . you ready ? valerie : so , you 're working for julian jerome now ? curtis : you talked to jordan . valerie : when were you gon na tell me ? curtis : i was hoping to finish the job before anybody even knew that i took the job , but i also thought i had an understanding with jordan that we would n't interfere with each other 's affairs . valerie : not quite . jordan just warned me again not to trust you . curtis : did she mention why ? valerie : because you 'll find a way to use me to julian 's benefit . curtis : i would n't do that to you , okay ? that 's not even in the cards . besides , uh ... my work with julian is over . valerie : you got results ? curtis : i came to my senses . some jobs just are n't worth the money . [ scene_break ] jason : i need information on all of sonny 's cell phone calls from the night of morgan 's death . no , i ca n't ask sonny directly . he 's not thinking straight . just , please , no more questions ... and do your hacking thing . get back to me asap . [ knock on door ] jason : thanks , buddy . [ door opens ] jordan : jason . jason : yeah . sonny 's not here . jordan : i can see that . uh , you 'll do . jason : [ chuckling ] i do n't speak for sonny . jordan : you 're his right - hand man , are n't you ? jason : no , i 'm not . that was a long time ago . jordan : really ? so long ago that you , uh , do n't remember this man ? jason : you know that my memory has holes in it , right ? jordan : he 's , uh ... he 's an associate of sonny 's from way back when you did speak for sonny . jason : what about him ? jordan : he planted the bomb that killed morgan . and i am one step closer to proving that sonny killed his son . [ scene_break ] carly : you are such a good brother . look at me . you 're the best . i mean , morgan would say the exact same thing . even when you guys were fighting , he knew how much you loved him . he trusted you . he knew he could turn to you . michael : yeah , and i let him down . carly : no , you did n't . michael : when he was a baby , the first day he came home from the hospital , i made him a promise . i told him that i 'd -- i 'd look after him , that i 'd keep him safe , always have his back . and i di -- i did n't follow through . carly : we all make promises . life just happened . it 's not your fault . it 's no one 's fault . michael : what about dad 's ? you know , i 'm trying . i 'm trying so hard not to be angry . i know how torn up he is about this . and i know he did n't mean for this to happen , but he never means for it to happen , right ? so why does it keep happening ? [ scene_break ] sonny : are you gon na throw stone in my face ? robin : are you gon na dishonor his memory ? i mean , do you ever stop and think what stone would do with one more day , how much life he would cram into that ? sonny : one more day ? one more day , somebody else that i love is gon na die , just like morgan . robin : no . sonny : yes ! robin : no , sonny ! that 's your grief talking . no , no . no , no . suicide does n't solve anything . it does n't ease anyone 's pain . [ sighs ] maybe yours . i mean , it would destroy your family -- carly and dante and your daughters . sonny : they do n't need me around ! they do n't need me ! they do n't want me around ! i 'm a danger to them ! it would be a relief if i was not here ! robin : no ! it would be cowardice . [ scene_break ] anna : charlotte asleep ? griffin : yes . anna : on your first try . no , i 'm just saying . griffin : [ scoffs ] i think i 'm gon na call it a night . thank you for sharing your story with me . it 's given me a lot to think about . anna : like you did n't have enough already . if you need to talk any more , you know -- griffin : i know who to call . anna : [ chuckles ] yeah . griffin : but i think the next conversation i 'm gon na have is gon na be with the bishop . anna : oh . griffin : you know , even though i 'm on leave , i need to apprise my superior of what 's transpired , you know , regardless of what i decide to do . you think it 's too late to ... call ? anna : what is that ? griffin : it 's claudette 's locket . she must have slid it in my pocket when she knocked me out . she loves this thing . i ca n't believe she gave it up . anna : she left her daughter with you . how can you be surprised that she 'd trust you with her keepsake , too ? good night . [ scene_break ] valerie : if you 're not working for julian jerome anymore , jordan should calm down . curtis : problem solved . officer : spencer , there 's a dustup in the drunk tank . we need all hands right now . valerie : i 'll be right back . curtis : yeah . all right . [ sighs ] [ police radio chatter ] [ scene_break ] jason : so , how does the pcpd know that this is the guy that rigged the bomb in jerome 's car ? jordan : well , forensics matched the c-4 to a recipe that 's a signature of this bomb maker . jason : the signature of the bomb maker ? jordan : mm - hmm . jason : oh , well , somebody could have just copied that . i 'm afraid all you have here is circumstantial . jordan : well , it 's enough to bring the guy in . he 's got a lot of priors . got a lot of reasons to not stand before a judge again . how long do you think before he cuts a deal and gives up your boss ? jason : oh , sonny 's not my boss . he 's my friend . jordan : when was the last time you did a favor for your friend ? jason : [ chuckles ] you know what ? this is starting to sound a lot like an interrogation , commissioner , so i 'm afraid we 're gon na have to stop talking unless my lawyer is here . jordan : you do n't have to worry about that . just listen . this is a very dangerous time to be linked to sonny corinthos . it would be a real shame to let your old friendship bring you down after you 've worked so hard to rebuild your life . [ scene_break ] sonny : are you trying to shame me into getting what you want ? robin : no , no . i 'm not manipulating you , sonny . i 'm simply telling you the truth . you have done so many wonderful , selfless things for me . but if you do this , i 'm not gon na remember you for the friend and -- and the loyal , loving person that you are . i 'm gon na remember you for your weakness . you say it 's your fault , that morgan is dead because of you . sonny : he is . robin : well , then it 's your responsibility to live with it , to give meaning to his life and his death . sonny : i do n't know how , robin . robin : well , you 're certainly not gon na figure it out from the grave . if you bow out now , i mean , you ca n't take responsibility for what you 've done , and you 're gon na leave everyone else to pick up the pieces . is that the kind of man you are ? the kind of father that runs out on his debts , on his family ? sonny : no . robin : i did n't think so . [ sighs ] i feel like stone brought me here tonight . sonny : yeah ? maybe he did . it 's getting late . i got to -- you should probably go . robin : come with me . sonny : no , i just -- i want to -- i need to spend some time alone . robin : just you and your gun ? sonny : you do n't have to worry . i mean , you got that . i give you my word . robin : [ voice breaking ] okay , well , the word of sonny corinthos means a lot to me . does it still mean something to you ? sonny : yeah , it does . robin : i love you , sonny . sonny : yeah , i love you , too . [ scene_break ] michael : dad murdered aj . yes , there were circumstances , but he promised me he 'd stay away from aj , just like he promised me he would stay away from julian . carly : i wanted to believe him . michael : i did believe him . i believed him when he said he would n't hurt aj . i believed him when he said he had nothing to do with his death . and in the end , i believed him when he said how sorry he was for what he 'd done , when he vowed to be better . but he is n't . sonny corinthos will never change .

[ scene_break ] maxie : you know , i would always picture the perfect wedding . not for me , but for my mom and mac . he loved her so much . i always wanted them to get married so that we could be a family . they did eventually get married . it was a double - wedding with two people that you do n't know , kevin and lucy . i still think something weird was going on behind the scenes , but i was happy . and i got to wear a really pretty dress . georgie and i gave our mom the blue ribbons from our hair for her bouquet . you know , something blue . spinelli : yes , i am aware of the tradition . maxie : she looked so beautiful that day . and i believed everything she said . she said her heart would always belong to mac , that he was her wisdom and her hope . they got married and i thought we would be a family forever . less than a year later , she started having an affair with luke spencer and she left us . their wedding meant nothing . spinelli : the jackal has been long aware of that maximista carries great pain . maxie : i hate my mom . i really do , but i 'm just like her . spinelli : no . i have to disagree most vehemently . maxie : she 's a liar , she 's unfaithful , she makes terrible choices just like me . so i promised myself a long time ago that i would never hurt anyone the way my mom hurt mac or georgie or me , so i 'll never get married .

[ scene_break ] kate : there is absolutely no way that sonny would even consider marrying you . he despises you . claudia : yeah , but he 's hot for me at the same time , and that 's a powerful combination . come on , he 's never forgotten that night between us . he 's always wanted more . he just could n't admit it . kate : you know that everyone has moved on from that night , right ? except for you . claudia : i would n't be so sure about that , sweetheart . because i can offer sonny more than sex now . i can offer him power . real power . and there is nothing sexier to sonny than power . kate : yes , claudia . but if that power comes from you , i can assure you he 's not interested . claudia : really ? where is sonny now , by the way ? i just think he 'd be sitting right here next to you . but maybe he just wanted to see if he could get a social climber like yourself to drop everything in her life for him . he could . he did . he 's gone . kate : you know nothing about me and sonny . claudia : you know what i know ? you ca n't touch what i can offer him -- the entire zacchara empire and red hot sex . sure , first he has to say no . he has to act noble . but i promise you something , at the end of the day , he 's mine . olivia : get the hell away from my cousin .

[ scene_break ] dante : yeah , lulu 's still pretty shaken up about the shooting . michael : well , we all are . dante : and the longer i stay in this hospital , the colder the trail gets to find out who actually shot me . michael : you know , dante , i hate to break it to you , but there are other cops on the force . they 've been all over this since day one , okay ? oh , and by the way , your good buddy ronnie was a little over - the - top with abby . dante : oh , yeah , he tries too hard sometimes . michael : yeah , he tailed abby to a coffee shop , and him and his partner -- some new girl , a rookie -- dante : oh , padilla . she came by the book . michael : yeah , that 's her . they basically cornered abby , and ronnie got way out of line with the questioning . dante : well , i 'll talk to him , tell him to back off . not that he 's gon na listen to me , but i 'll try . abby okay ? michael : yeah , she 's fine . you know , i 'm actually starting to get to know your cop friends pretty well . since i manage dad 's warehouse , they 've been all up in my business since the shooting . dante : what , you 're still working at the coffee warehouse ? michael : yeah . never stopped . why ? dante : that surprises me . i thought sonny would have yanked you out of there the minute this happened . michael : well , they tried . dante : they ? michael : yeah , my mom and dad , shawn . they 're all still trying to protect me . dante : protect you from what ? michael , what was happening at the warehouse the night i was shot ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i know you suddenly got something against kate . why ? because you think kristina 's gon na be working for her ? alexis : you know , i admit that might have been just a slight overreaction . sonny : you think ? no kidding . alexis : you know that i like her . i like her very much . i wish her every success . sonny : you still want to bump into her at my house . is that it ? alexis : that 's not true . that is not true at all . you know what is true , though ? i really identify with her . sonny : ah . okay . alexis : she 's highly intelligent . she 's worked very , very hard to be very successful in a very demanding and competitive job . she has carefully managed her life . her goals are in place . she 's very cultured and sophisticated . occasionally a little lonely , but that 's what work is for . you know , it 's a perfect distraction . and then you come along ... all complicated and all contradictory ... sonny : sexy . alexis : ... and arrogant , and then you 're like , `` oh , somebody please save me . save me . `` sonny : okay , wait , wait . i 've never asked anybody to save me . alexis : and that 's what makes it all the more compelling . [ sonny sighs ] alexis : you are an emotional quagmire . simultaneously the most fun and the most misery that any woman could ever experience . but that 's just my impression . sonny : ca n't say you 're wrong . [ scene_break ] ethan : look , you knew that dante was a cop a long time ago . you know the dangers involved . lulu : i thought i did . ethan : you were all ready to accept his marriage proposal . i mean , what 's the deal ? the guy gets shot , and now you 're gon na say no ? lulu : i said yes . ethan : you did ? lulu : mm - hmm . i , um -- i said yes when he was in the hospital after his surgery . he was -- he was weak , and he , uh , kind of was pushing me to answer him , and olivia basically said that saying yes would give him a reason to live , and he was actually making me feel that way , too . ethan : lulu , engagement by peer pressure ? come on . lulu : i said yes on the condition that nobody else knew until after he was better . ethan : so , wait . i 'm the only one that knows ? lulu : you and his mom . ethan : [ chuckles ] okay , so , if they were n't pressuring you , would you still have said yes ? lulu : i do n't know . i love him . i love him ... so much -- more than i ever thought that i could love anyone , but seeing him in that hospital again , fighting for his life again , it just ... it made me feel like this fantasy of our future life together is denying reality . he 's a cop . he 's sonny 's son . ethan : yeah , that second part is non - negotiable , right ? lulu : he 's always gon na be in danger . and , uh ... i just do n't know whether or not i 'm gon na be able to live with that . ethan : what do you think laura would say about all this ? [ scene_break ] dante : what happened to me in that warehouse did n't just cost me a part of my lung . i 'm pretty sure lulu 's having second thoughts over whether or not she can deal with being a cop 's wife . michael : well , look , she knows the risks . she has to decide if she can live with them or not . i mean , it 's better now than later , right ? dante : she 's seen me twice now in the icu with a bullet . it does n't help that both times sonny was involved . michael : look , i ca n't argue with you about the first time , okay , but i really do n't think you can blame dad this time . dante : michael , it was on his turf . michael : yeah , in his coffee warehouse . it 's completely legit . dante : you and i both know someone did n't shoot me because sonny 's coffee beans were bad . michael : i got to get going . dante : so , uh , what about shawn butler ? how did he get involved again ? michael : [ sighs ] he , uh , just showed up after the shooting . dante : okay . they found this homemade bomb when the police were doing the search of the warehouse ? michael : yeah , which would point to one of dad 's enemies trying to blow up the place . dante : that does n't make any sense . there 's no way sonny would let you keep that job if that was the case , no matter how much you argued with him . michael : what are you trying to say ? dante : i 'm trying to say i got some friends down at the station to do some digging on mr. butler . turns out he 's quite the science geek . could have made that bomb in his sleep . michael : okay , why would he do that ? dante : i do n't know , michael . i was hoping you could tell me . [ scene_break ] sam : need any help ? carly : yeah , you and jason can come back to port charles . sam : absolutely not . carly : why ? what 's so important about this honeymoon that you 're willing to make jason a target for franco ? sam : i - i did not make jason a target for franco . he did that all on his own . i realize he is a threat . carly : if you realize he 's a threat , then why are n't you taking it seriously ? sam : oh , my god . carly , do you really want to talk about what 's going on here right now ? jason is trying to set boundaries with you . yes , he told you to come to him in case of emergency . this is an emergency , but let 's be honest -- this is your excuse to show up here . carly : an excuse because i fear for my daughter 's life . sam : you have shawn looking after you and your daughter . carly : i do n't want jason to come back to port charles to take care of me and josslyn . i want jason in port charles so he has the advantage in case franco shows up , sam . sam : what if he does n't show up , carly ? jason and i do n't want to live our lives looking over our shoulders or worrying about the next move . we -- we want to be able to be free . carly : yeah , and i 've been where you are . it 's called denial . franco 's not gon na stop being a threat because you want him to . sam : well , then jason and i will deal with that . carly : is that what he told you ? jason wants you to help him deal with franco ? sam : he is my husband . yes , i will help him if he needs me . carly : i get that he is your husband . you know what ? but he 's also my friend . and we both know that franco tortures jason by going after the people he loves , sam . and we both know that franco wo n't stop . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i want to make sure you 're available to stay in port charles indefinitely . shawn : i 'm not sure i 'm ready to talk long - term employment . jason : shawn , i got to end this franco thing , and that means i 'm gon na have to go after him . shawn : when ? jason : [ sighs ] man , i have n't decided . probably sooner than later , and i do n't know how long it 's gon na take , but i need to know that things are being handled while i 'm gone . shawn : i 'm not sure how cooperative sonny 's gon na be . jason : i 'm not worried about sonny . i 'm worried about carly and her kids , and i need to know that you 're gon na look after them for me . shawn : [ sighs ] okay . i wo n't consider the job done until franco 's been dealt with . good enough ? jason : appreciate that . all right . shawn : everything okay in here ? carly : how much longer is this honeymoon gon na last ? [ scene_break ] sonny : all that about a smart career woman should n't be with me -- that 's true to a point . but kate used to be called connie falconeri . we have a known past , a connection . it makes it easier for me to hear kate . and as you know , when brenda left , i went through a rough -- a rough period , and i made some bad choices . alexis : you can say that again . sonny : kate was pretty much my one -- she -- she reached me , you know ? she got to me . alexis : and i 'm sure that 's very intoxicating , that she can help you when no one else can . sonny : that 's not the word i 'd use . alexis : look , i know she 's being icy with you . i know that she 's acting like she has this all under control . and the more she pushes you away , the more determined you are to wear her down . am i right ? sonny : you know , she 's a challenge , you know , in a good way , and i like it . alexis : you know that she almost got killed the last time you two were to whatever , because that happens a lot with you and girls . it 's a repetitive pattern , and i would really hate to see anything happen to kate and then you blame yourself again . sonny : so you think i should leave her alone ? alexis : i think that she 's a grown woman who can make her own choices . i really , really , really want you to be careful with this - this time . sonny : i have a chance at something good , okay ? i just want to see where it goes . [ scene_break ] jason : we 're only here a couple more days . carly : and you 're coming home . jason : that 's kind of open - ended . carly : you 're going after franco . shawn : we should get going . it 's gon na take us forever to check all these bags and get through security . jason : um , i need -- i need you to do something for me , okay ? carly : anything . jason : i need you to listen to shawn . if he tells you to do something to keep you and the kids safe , you need to do it . carly : okay . and i need you to do something for me . can you do that ? jason : i can try . carly : will you be careful ? okay .

[ scene_break ] lulu : where did you find that ? ethan : wyndemere . lulu : what were you doing at wyndemere ? ethan : i was -- i do n't know -- looking for answers . i guess trying to find pieces of a puzzle that [ chuckles ] i 'm not even a part of . she means so much to both you and lucky that i guess i got curious . lulu : and you like the picture so much you brought it back here ? ethan : she was damaged . she had this gash . so , i do n't know . it was probably just age or the weather or something . lulu : it 's crazy . it 's like looking into a mirror . ethan : what do you mean ? lulu : i do n't know . i do n't know . i just -- i wish i had more time to get to know her growing up . i mean , i know all the stories , you know , when dad would get them into some sort of situation . she was always there -- changing identities for them to go on the run , which is how i get my name . ethan : lesley lu . lulu : well , `` lesley `` was from my grandmother , but `` lu `` was an alias that she used multiple times . ethan : really ? see , she wanted to include you . lulu : yeah , but then she realized that raising a son on the run is not the best idea , so she convinced dad to settle down and ... ethan : live small . lulu : yeah . ethan : something luke is fundamentally incapable of . lulu : and then i came along , and she was more determined than ever . and as much as she tried to make it feel like a home , dad always felt it was a cage . ethan : yeah , it 's kind of a no - win situation , i think . lulu : she was trying so hard to do something that was never gon na happen . i think that 's what eventually broke her . ethan : what ? lulu : i do n't know . i 'm -- my situation with dante -- if it 's not gon na work and i 'm pushing it , i 'm -- ethan : oh , you 're scared that you 're more like laura than you realize and that you 're gon na break , just like her .

[ scene_break ] dante : look , clearly shawn put that bomb together to cover up what was really going on in the warehouse . michael , i walked in on something i was n't supposed to see . you 're there all the time . you had to know something was up . that 's why sonny and shawn wanted you off the job . michael : look , if you 're asking for my statement , i already gave it to your friends . dante : i 'm asking you as my brother . michael : and i 'm answering you as your brother . dante : you know something , maybe to do with why i got shot . you ca n't protect sonny by keeping the truth from me . michael : now you 're starting to sound like everybody else . when something goes bad , you automatically want to pin it on dad . dante : i was shot in the back . i think it 's a little bit different . michael : yeah , you were doing your job . actually , you were off duty . you decided to sweep the waterfront on your own . dante : yeah , i , uh -- i thought because jason was getting married , uh , an enemy of theirs would try and make a move . michael : yeah , and you were right about that . you 're just wrong about the way you handled it . dante : yeah , i did n't think i need backup , walking around sonny 's legitimate warehouse . michael : you know what i think really has you pissed off ? is that this whole thing is making lulu question whether you should be a cop or not . and you ca n't put that on dad . [ elevator bell dings ] that 's on you , dante -- nobody else . [ scene_break ] ethan : you should tell dante how you really feel . the sooner , the better . lulu : i 'm not gon na tell him while he 's in the hospital . i do n't know what to say . ethan : look , if i were in your shoes and i had a shot at something real , i 'd take it and run with it . lulu : no , you would n't . you would run in the opposite direction . ethan : i did n't with maya . lulu : with maya , there was money involved , and she was n't even dangerous enough for you . ethan : are you implying that i shy away from anything safe ? lulu : yes , absolutely . i think you 're exactly like dad , and -- and you are more interested in things that you ca n't and should n't have , and you would probably ignore something that was really good , right in front of you . ethan : you should listen to yourself . lulu : [ sighs ] my situation is different because i do n't want to lose dante to his job , and i do n't want him to feel like he needs to be someone else for me . ethan : it sounds to me like you 're afraid of becoming your parents , which is ridiculous , because you 're not laura and you 're not luke . just be your magnificent self , okay ? anything less would be unfair . lulu : wow , maybe you should be listening to yourself , because , actually , you 're the one who 's been feeling a little `` less than `` these days , and following in dad 's footsteps -- we both know where they lead .

[ scene_break ] tracy : that unfamiliar feeling is called clarity . luke : why the hell do you think i stopped drinking ? why would i bother ? it 's because i wanted to have some hard currency to lay on the table . tracy : now you 're gon na pack up all that currency and head for the nearest bar ? luke : look , i just do n't want to disappoint anybody anymore , all right ? i mean , especially lulu . that 's why i have n't been able to see her . i 've disappointed her enough . tracy : but it 's okay to disappoint me ? luke : well , you 're tough . she 's not . you can get on without me . in fact , y - you do better without me than with -- or so you claim . you want to recant that ? tracy : i - i think you have enough to handle taking care of yourself . luke : that does n't sound like an answer . tracy : are you leaving ? luke : give anthony my best .

[ chuckles ] uh , global warming , football . do you like football ? derek : i do . alexis : yeah , i do n't . uh , but molly 's boyfriend , tj said that i should probably learn something about it if i want to have a conversation with him in the next 10 years . derek : i think tj 's on to something . alexis : yeah . derek : you know , if he keeps growing like this , he has all the makings of a quarterback . alexis : yeah , well , that 's not gon na happen , 'cause if anyone tackles my grandson , i 'd have to sue them . derek : hmm . well , that 's something that you and danny can discuss in a decade or so . but , uh , in the meantime , let 's talk about his mom . what 's , uh -- what 's sam doing in new york ? alexis : oh , uh , she went there to see if she could find some information on this ava jerome 's brother . sam : ava must have had a reason to bring you here , because from what i know of her , this is not her style . silas : you know , maybe it was a proximity thing , you know ? this place is n't far from columbia , where i went to medical school . sam : oh , yeah ? well , how many bars are between there and here ? silas : 802 , although if i remember correctly , this place had great burgers . sam : you think ava came here for the food ? because i do n't . silas : is that your professional opinion ? sam : no , i just -- i do n't think it 's a coincidence that victor jerome brought his mistress here . delia : welcome to ryan 's . what can i get you ? sam : hi . um , he actually tells me that you serve a decent burger here . delia : decent ? our burgers are handcrafted . our beef is grass - fed and grain- finished . i 'm not sure what the last part of that means , but trust me , they are terrific . and i 'd know , 'cause i was married to the guy whose family owns this place . delia ryan coleridge at your service . silas : well , it 's nice to meet you , delia . delia : you look very familiar . silas : well , i used to -- i might have come in here a few times a lot of years ago . delia : no , no , no , no , no . you remind me of someone . wait ! i got it ! derek : i was n't aware that , uh , ava had a brother . alexis : well , apparently it 's a very well - kept secret . she even told her own daughter that she was an only child . derek : hmm . so , what makes you think that , uh , ava has a brother ? alexis : well , years ago , she told that to this dr. silas clay . apparently her brother has a lot of money and he helped her get into the art business . derek : hmm . well , so why is , uh -- why is sam looking into this ? is it -- is it for a client ? alexis : well , not so much a client . um , she 's partially doing this to help kiki out and get some information on her uncle . but sam is , uh , doing it for her own reasons . personal reasons . derek : such as ? patrick : if you 're asking me if i -- if i 'm sure that i want to marry sabrina , the answer is yes , i do . but it sounds like you have some misgivings . maxie : i 'm happy for you , patrick . really . patrick : look , maxie , i know obviously you and robin were very close . maxie : yeah , we were like sisters . i know that sounds cliché , but robin was the person that i went to for advice . i 'd like to think that i helped her , too . do you remember when she was determined to be a single mom and she refused to move out of her apartment ? she was gon na turn her closet into emma 's nursery ? i mean , poor emma . not only would she have been sleeping in a room with no windows , but where would robin have put her clothes ? thank god i talked her out of that . patrick : really ? 'cause i thought i did . maxie : [ scoffs ] patrick : had to convince her that i loved her and that i loved -- that i loved our child and that i just ... sorry . maxie : no , it 's ... it 's okay . that happens to me a lot . i think of something that robin said or did . it makes me smile and ... then it hits me that i 'll never see her again or hear her voice . patrick : i heard her voice . correction -- i thought i heard her voice . maxie : how ? patrick : a couple days ago , my cell rang . i picked it up , and i ... could have sworn it was robin on the line . carlos : so , when did patrick pop the question ? sabrina : the other night after i accused you of making that phone call . carlos : oh . i get it . so , one minute he 's getting a call from his dead wife , and the next minute , he 's proposing to you . nikolas : robin , you understand that you -- you ca n't leave this house , right ? and you certainly ca n't contact patrick . obrecht and faison are watching . if they find out that you 're planning to reveal that you 're alive , they 'll call jerry , and he 'll kill your parents . simple as that . and you remember the terms , do n't you ? robin : how could i forget ? nikolas : jerry had no problem shooting you at the metro court . he certainly wo n't hesitate to kill robert or anna or -- or both if he does n't get what he wants . robin : what am i supposed to do , nikolas ? just -- just stay here and do nothing while my husband marries another woman ? i mean , i have n't seen my little girl in two years . i have to get to them . they have to know that i 'm alive . nikolas : you will see patrick and emma again . but first , you have got to find a cure for jerry . robin : formulating that cure will take time . and then meanwhile , this horrible sabrina person just moves in on my family ? sabrina : what are you saying , carlos ? carlos : sounds to me like patrick 's got something to prove . does n't sound like a man who 's in love with you , sabrina . sounds like he 's trying to convince himself of something . you sure you want to marry a guy like that ? patrick : obviously it was a wrong number or a prank call . but for a second , i could have swore that i heard robin 's voice . and i know that sounds crazy . maxie : if you 're crazy , then i 'm certifiable . patrick : [ chuckles ] maxie : i 've seen georgie . she came to me to give me grief that the baby i was carrying for dante and lulu was really spinelli 's and mine . you know about all that , right ? patrick : yes . i heard . how 's the custody issues ? have they been resolved ? maxie : well , diane 's in front of a judge right now trying to get us a court order so we can take our baby home today . patrick : congratulations . maxie : thank you . [ chuckles ] i know what you 're probably thinking , though . `` what about lulu ? `` patrick : hey , i know how difficult this must be . i mean , when i found out that britt 's baby was n't mine , it was ... maxie : i know . and i know that i will be getting my daughter but losing another friend , which i deserve . patrick : for what it 's worth , i can tell that this is costing you . and however misguided you were , i know that you acted with the best of intentions , and i know that robin would think the exact same thing . maxie : patrick , i miss robin so much . i keep thinking that if she had been here the last few months , she would have found out the truth and ... given me grief about it . [ chuckles ] it 's ... patrick : it 's what ? maxie : it 's just funny that georgie came to me from beyond the grave but ... robin never did . nikolas : what makes you say that sabrina 's such a horrible person ? robin : obrecht . she told me that sabrina has been manipulating patrick this entire time . nikolas : robin , you might -- you might want to consider the source . because from my experience , uh , sabrina 's nothing like that . robin : you know her ? nikolas : no , i do n't know her well , but ... robin : well , what ? what 's ... what is she like ? nikolas : i do n't know . she 's -- she 's nice . she seems kind . and from everything i 've heard from elizabeth , sabrina genuinely loves patrick and adores emma . robin : i do n't know if that makes me feel better or worse . sabrina : i had that same reaction when patrick proposed after the supposed phone call from robin . carlos : hmm . well , what changed your mind , hmm ? i know it was n't the ring . you never gave a damn about stuff like that . because if you did , i would have showered you with jewelry and clothes all the time . sabrina : yeah , well , you would n't have wanted me if i could be bought . carlos : that 's right . i wanted you 'cause you 're so real , so honest . and when you told me you loved me , i thought it meant you always would . sabrina : i 've changed . carlos : so you say . sabrina : i 'm marrying patrick . carlos : so you say . sabrina : he loves me . carlos : maybe he 's threatened , hmm ? maybe he senses that he could lose you to me . sabrina : oh , you know what ? we actually talked about that . yeah , we talked about you . carlos : really ? sabrina : yeah . carlos : what did patrick have to say about me ? sabrina : well , i asked him if he was concerned about our history , was that prompting the proposal . and patrick was pretty adamant that it had nothing to do with you . carlos : hmm . okay , well , then so answer me this , sabrina . if you and patrick are so happy and in love and everything is so perfect and wonderful , why are you always coming to see me ? ava : when julian realized that you knew who he really was , he sent carlos after you to kill you . that 's who julian is . he 's an extremely dangerous man . and this is serious business . things could escalate very , very quickly , and they will not end until julian gets what he wants . morgan : i understand that . ava : do you ? really ? because what julian wants is to take sonny down and then take him out . so think about it . i know you 're angry with your father , but do you really want to go down this road ? sonny : i 'm not trying to shut you out . truth is , i would n't have gotten through connie 's death if it was n't for you . you -- you saved my life , literally . but it 's always best to stay out of my business . less you know , the better . olivia : i 'm a big girl . sonny : yes . olivia : and i 'm telling you that i 'm willing to take the risk . sonny : i already lost connie . i do n't want to lose you . olivia : you will lose me if you do n't let me in ! i 'm not gon na be one of those women that just walks in the other room and pretends that i do n't see what 's right in front of my face ! there 's obviously something eating you alive . sonny , i want to feel like you -- like you trust me enough to tell me what it is . sonny : i do trust you . you know i trust you , right ? well , that 's just -- no , no , no . olivia : give it . give it . oh , my god . it 's true ? julian jerome is not dead after all . sonny : [ sighs ] yes . julian jerome is very much alive . alexis : sam 's interest in ava 's brother has to do with julian jerome . derek : julian jerome . the , uh , dead mobster . alexis : the one and only . sam 's theory is that ... ava 's brother could be julian jerome . derek : wait . i - i -- i thought ava denied any connection to those people . alexis : well , she has repeatedly . but there 's more reason now than ever to think that she 's lying . derek : why is that ? delia : johnny ! my johnny ! silas : who 's johnny ? delia : johnny ryan , my son ! i do n't know . something about your eyes . no , he runs this place , and i come here , and i help him out every once in awhile , you know , when i have the time ... which is most of the time . see , my husband , roger , and i , we had a really successful nightclub called delia 's . and we were just starting to turn a profit , and then the economy tanked , and then everything went south . silas : we 're sorry to hear that . yeah . delia : yeah , well , you know , what can you do about it ? that 's life . and maybe it just was n't in the cards that i should be a successful nightclub owner . so , uh , i came back here to the family bar where i spend so much of my time . coffee ? silas : please . yeah . sam : yeah . sounds great . delia : okay . you got it . sam : thank you . silas : so , you 've , uh -- you 've been around here for a while , then ? delia : yeah . more years than i care to remember . silas : that 's -- that 's good . you might be able to help us . we 're -- we 're trying to get some information about a woman who used to come here a lot . a lot of years ago . delia : what 's her name ? sam : well , actually , we -- we do n't know her name . uh , but she used to come here with a man named victor jerome . i think they probably came -- silas : oh . sabrina : i came here as a courtesy . i was trying to be nice , because i thought you might get upset hearing my news . carlos : could have called . sabrina : okay , clearly you 've got some big theory about why i came here to see you , so might as well just spit it out . carlos : well , i 'm thinking that maybe you 're not as certain about patrick 's love as you say you are , that maybe part of you wanted to come and check in with the one who truly loves you with all his heart and soul . and that this courtesy is just a way of keeping the door open in case this engagement does n't work out . sabrina : you are so arrogant . carlos : i can be . but not when it comes to you . now , patrick , on the other hand , i think it 's arrogant of ho take you for granted . sabrina : oh , he does n't take me for granted . carlos : oh , no ? sabrina : no . carlos : when 's the wedding date ? you set one yet ? did n't think so . this is gon na be one of those two - year engagements , hmm , that kind of drag on and on and on because one of you -- or both of you -- deep down really do n't want it to happen . sabrina : look , patrick would n't have proposed , i would n't have accepted if we did n't want a future together . carlos : let me see that ring again . it 's nice . but i know you , sabrina . shiny diamond do n't mean a thing if there ai n't no love behind it . sabrina : i should have known better than to come here . maxie : if robin had come back from the dead [ chuckles ] she would have been pretty upset that i was lying to dante and lulu and spinelli about this baby . especially after everything she went through to become a mother . patrick : yeah , tell me about it . we broke up because of it . we got back together the night that georgie passed away . that was actually the night that emma was conceived . maxie : best mistake the two of you ever made . patrick : [ chuckles ] by far . but we had our obstacles , mostly because of my immaturity . maxie : do n't sell robin short . she was pretty stubborn . patrick : point is , we got over all those things . all our fears and our absolute joy , the pregnancy , the -- the birth . that day that we were supposed to get married . five years ago today . [ exhales sharply ] five years ago today . robin : well , i feel like a hypocrite . i mean , i made a dvd for patrick , and i told him that i wanted him to move on , that i wanted him to find someone else to love , and i wanted that person to love emma . and now you 're telling me that this person is sabrina , this person that i actually told him to find . nikolas : yeah , it seems to be . it sounds like patrick is doing exactly what you asked him to do . robin : yeah , except for one , tiny problem , nikolas ! i 'm not dead ! you know , i woke up this morning , and i realized that patrick is making wedding plans and today exactly five years ago was our wedding . this -- this ca n't be happening . alexis : if you were related to a mobster , would n't you be tempted to lie about it ? derek : well , i have n't given that question much thought . alexis : thank you . i have , trust me . [ clears throat ] you know , my daughter , kristina , had a very difficult time reconciling herself to her father 's alleged profession . derek : and you ? alexis : i just accept the fact that i find dangerous men attractive . derek : you said sam 's interest in julian jerome was personal ? alexis : you know , i probably should n't be talking to you about this because it 's -- oh , wow -- this is sam 's business . danny : [ coughs ] alexis : ooh , you okay , buddy ? there you go . but you 're kind of like family now , are n't you , so ... right , danny ? derek : yeah , i 'm sorry . i really , uh -- i really should n't pry . it 's a bad habit , asking questions . i suppose it goes along with -- with the territory . alexis : it also makes an interesting front page . this is off the record , right , between you and me ? derek : hey , i would never do anything to hurt you and your family . alexis : so , remember when i told you about this one - night stand and i thought that perhaps it could be with this man named julian jerome in new hampshire ? derek : yeah , you said it was a long shot , probably just a coincidence . alexis : sometimes long shots pay off . as it turns out , the man that i followed into that car was , in fact , julian jerome . he 's sam 's father . delia : i do n't know what 's the matter with me . i got , uh -- i got -- what do you call it ? uh , what do you call it ? dropsy or something . sam : wait a minute . wait a minute . so you -- so you knew him ? delia : who ? sam : what do you mean , who ? victor jerome . silas : victor jerome . delia : no , that name does n't even ring a bell . sam : really ? because he was very well - connected . hold on . wait . i have a picture . can you just at least look at the picture ? does he look familiar at all ? delia : oh , yeah , that victor jerome . yeah , yeah . i - i sort of remember him . sam : okay , well , do you remember him coming in here with a woman ever ? delia : are you two cops ? silas : cops ? believe me , i 'm no cop . i 'm -- i 'm a doctor . delia : then what 's with all the questions ? sam : um , listen , i 'm -- i 'm a private eye , and i just wanted to know if you knew anything about victor . and apparently he had a mistress , and she might have had a daughter , and her name is ava . do you know anything about that ? morgan : look , it 's not really a question of whether i can go down that road with you and julian . 'cause i 'm on it , ava . i know too much . ava : i just do n't want you to get hurt . physically or emotionally hurt . morgan : i understand , but that 's the least of my worries . ava : you 're still so young . and you think you 're invincible . but you 're not . morgan : i 'm not all that young . derek : well , you do like them dangerous , do n't you ? what do you say , danny ? huh ? is your grandpa a gangster ? [ chuckles ] alexis : i suppose the saving grace is that julian jerome is no longer with us . i did n't mean that the way it sounds . it 's terrible that sam and danny wo n't ever get to know him , but after everything i 've been through with all of sonny 's business ... derek : yeah , no , i understand . you , uh , want to protect your family . speaking as a publisher , are you sure about your , uh , facts ? alexis : we had a dna test . derek : how ? i mean , uh [ chuckles ] i ca n't imagine that would have been easy getting a dna sample from a dead mobster . alexis : no , we did n't need it from him . we got it from another family member . derek : what , uh , family member ? olivia : oh , my god . julian jerome is derek wells ? sonny : julian jerome got a whole new life . now he 's derek wells , media mogul , courtesy of wsb . olivia : bastard . this is the guy who pushed connie to write that article and backed her into a corner . and now he 's using this paper to push you ? sonny : yep . yeah . while sending his people to blow up my shipment and trash my warehouse . olivia : okay . so , now that you know who 's doing this , what are you gon na do about it ? nikolas : [ exhales sharply ] are you saying that this is patrick 's and your wedding anniversary ? robin : not exactly . patrick : we were at the altar . the priest had just gotten to the part about procreation of children . robin : my water broke right there in the church . [ sighs ] all of our friends and family were gathered for the wedding , but ... instead ... it was ... maxie : complete insanity . i will never forget that . [ chuckles ] patrick : it was crazy . all of us in a limo , mac stopping traffic so we could speed to the hospital . and i mean speed . anna was driving like she was at le mans . robin : my mother nearly killed us with her crazy driving . but anyway , we made it to the hospital , and even though there were complications ... patrick : robin was amazing . never gave up . and then ... i mean , just like that , emma was there . maxie : i remember that , too . it was so scary . patrick : it was , but we made it through . all the way to our second wedding , which went off without a hitch . maxie : it was better . without the baby bump . and the ceremony was beautiful . patrick : robin promised me that she would love me more than yesterday and less than tomorrow . robin : patrick promised to return the gift of love that i gave to him tenfold . he promised to love me and our daughter for as long as we both shall live . nikolas : mm - hmm . robin : we exchanged rings , and we kissed . [ exhales sharply ] it was the happiest day of my life . nikolas : hey . robin : and now he 's making plans to do exactly that with someone else . alexis : obviously we could n't get a sample from sam 's father because he 's dead , gone , buried . actually , i do n't even know where he 's buried . that 's a good question . i 'll have to ask sam if she wants to find that out . derek : okay , so this , um , other family member ... [ door opens ] carlos : so , this problem with the lease here . derek : uh , we 're in the middle of something . alexis : no , no , no , that 's okay . i have to go anyway . we have to go , because i have to drop him off at grandma monica 's , so ... um , i have to go to court . but it was nice to see you . derek : yeah , you and , uh , danny , of course . alexis : bye . delia : i do n't know jerome victor . sam : victor jerome . silas : victor jerome . delia : know him , neither . and i really do n't know what you 're talking about , so nothing 's ringing a bell . i 'm gon na go check on your burgers . silas : forgot your coffee pot . she would be the worst poker player ever . sam : yeah , she 's a bad liar . silas : so , why is that ? what 's -- what 's the reason for that ? i mean , clearly whatever it is she knows about victor jerome , it 's affecting her on a very personal level . sam : yes , i know , and unfortunately , it 's gon na be very hard to get her to talk . silas : what ? sam : yes . silas : what do you mean ? you -- you 're a professional , right ? how do we get this out of her ? ava : i have to go . i have a new gallery to open . morgan : ava . i just -- i want you to know , whatever side you 're on , i 'm on . i 'm with you now . ava : god help you . morgan : i ca n't wait to see the look on my dad 's face when he sees i chose your family , not his . sonny : what are my options ? am i supposed to just sit back while julian jerome destroys my business and then he comes after me ? olivia : he is a problem . sonny : well , usually when there 's a problem ... the problem needs to be eliminated . carlos : so , that 's your grandkid and your baby mama ? derek : yeah . well , i 'd prefer you refer to them as alexis and danny . but , uh , yeah . carlos : she still has no clue ? derek : not yet . although it seems my daughter , the , uh , p.i . , is close to finding out who i really am . delia : okay , so , here are your burgers . can i get you anything -- pickles ? relish ? mustard ? ketchup ? silas : no , i think -- i think we 're good . you know , unless you happen to remember anything about that woman we were talking about . sam : yeah . delia : no , i do n't . no can do . i do n't know what woman you 're talking about . sam : actually , we think you do , delia . you either know her ... or you are her . carlos : so , what are you gon na do when your daughter finds out who you are ? derek : we 'll , uh , cross that bridge when we get to it . something else ? is there a problem ? carlos : hmm ? oh . no problem . it 's just ... the woman i love is about to marry someone else . sabrina : am i interrupting something ? maxie : no . [ chuckles ] of course not . i - i understand that congratulations are in order . i was just telling patrick how happy i am for him . for you both . let me see your ring . it 's very elegant . i approve . patrick : yes , sabrina inspired me . maxie : oh , well , it 's getting kind of late , and i have a million things to do . my baby 's coming home today . sabrina : [ chuckles ] maxie : i 'll see you . patrick : bye . sabrina : wow . that 's so exciting . patrick : yeah , she has no idea how much her life is about to change . sabrina : patrick ... i want my life to change , too . i ca n't wait to be a part of emma 's and your family . i just want to dive in and make a thousand plans and decisions and marry you as soon as possible . robin : for two years , all i 've wanted to do is go home . i 've prayed for it and wished for it . it 's like one of those fairy tales , you know , where you have to get the wording perfect or the wish goes all wrong . nikolas : [ sighs ] robin : i mean ... [ sighs ] i 'm just so close to them , and i - i ca n't ... nikolas : i know . robin : ... get to them . nikolas : robin . robin : [ sighs ] nikolas : you will find that cure . and then you and patrick and emma will all be together soon . robin : i hope so . i hope it happens before patrick has a new wife . patrick : so , i take it you do n't want a long engagement ? what about felix ? he needs time for his wedding - vision board or whatever it 's called . sabrina : [ chuckles ] no , i just want to be married to you , patrick . i want our life together to start . you , me , and emma . is that what you want , too ? patrick : yes , it is . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : yes . the sooner i 'm married to you , the better .
sabrina goes to see carlos to tell him about her engagement to patrick . he finds the timing suspect . he asks her why , if everything is so perfect with patrick , she keeps coming to see him when she could just as easily have called . patrick tells maxie that he and sabrina are engaged . they talk about when he and robin were at that stage . he tells her about the call he got that he thought was from robin . she says she is just as crazy because she saw georgie . she says it is odd that georgie came to her from beyond , but that robin never did . patrick tells her that his wedding to robin that was interrupted because robin 's water broke was exactly five years ago today . nikolas stops robin from escaping to find patrick . he reminds her that jerry will kill her parents if she leaves before synthesizing a cure for him . she says she ca n't sit around and wait for patrick to marry that horrible sabrina woman . she says obrecht told her that sabrina has been manipulating patrick . nik tells her to consider the source . he says sabrina is nice and that elizabeth believes sabrina truly loves patrick and emma . it does n't make robin feel any better to know that patrick did exactly what she told him to do in the dvd that she left for him because she is n't dead . she tells nikolas that today is the anniversary of her and patrick 's first attempt to have a wedding . she says she has done nothing but wish to be back with her family and now she is so close , but she might be too late .
sam : no . no . i understand . i appreciate the update . [ doorbell rings ] sam : thanks for calling , tracy . i will , uh -- i 'll let patrick know as soon as i see him . [ laughs ] aww . [ scene_break ] britt : spencer , are you sure you do n't want some popcorn ? spencer : yes , britt , i 'm sure , but thank you for offering . nikolas : hey , why do n't you come sit on the couch and watch `` beetlejuice `` with us ? come on . spencer : `` beetlejuice `` is so last year . besides , i do n't want to watch a movie . it wo n't take my mind off my pain . you would n't know what it 's like to have lost the woman you love .

[ scene_break ] scott : well , you got beat today . you got beat bad in court . question -- who cares ? you ca n't win 'em all . besides , i got something sweeter than victory . i got strawberries . i got champagne . all i need is the girl .

[ scene_break ] bobbie : you kicked franco out ? ! carly : i sure did -- on his cute little behind . bobbie : oh . well , does this mean the wedding 's off ? carly : no . of course not . bobbie : oh . then what 's going on ? carly : you do n't know ? bobbie : no , i do n't , and at this point , i 'm afraid to ask . carly : the bride and groom are not supposed to spend the night before the wedding together , mom . it 's tradition . bobbie : [ sighing ] oh . okay . so , since when did you and franco , of all people , become so traditional ? carly : i thought it 'd be a nice change of pace . i mean , everything 's already unconventional enough , considering i 'm marrying franco . bobbie : mm . i ca n't argue with that . carly : anyway , i thought it would be fun to have a girls ' night in -- you , me , and josslyn . bobbie : oh . oh , well , actually , josslyn went out . carly : she went out ? where did she go ? [ scene_break ] spencer : halt ! who goes ... there ? josslyn : trick or treat ! spencer : trick or treat ? what are you talking about ? halloween is not till tomorrow . josslyn : duh . i know . spencer : then what are you doing here ? josslyn : it 's beggar 's night ! and i 'm begging you to get me out of this wedding . [ scene_break ] carly : beggars ' night ? bobbie : yeah . yeah . it 's a tradition where the kids go out trick - or - treating the night before halloween . carly : yeah , yeah . i know what it is . i do . i just -- i do n't know . i do n't understand it . it 's not something we did in florida . i think the only place that celebrates beggars ' night is port charles . bobbie : hmm . well , actually , you should be very grateful that we do have that tradition here , because the only way that maxie and lucas were able to get josslyn to agree to participate in your wedding tomorrow was to take her out for candy tonight . carly : oh , gosh . well , she can have all the candy she wants , then . i am -- i am in favor of anything that will bump up her enthusiasm for the wedding . bobbie : well , actually , it 's not josslyn 's enthusiasm that i 'm worried about . [ scene_break ] sonny : shawn , glad to see you . you have a problem with heather ? what 's going on ? shawn : yeah , and it 's a big one .

[ scene_break ] carly : do n't start on me about my enthusiasm , mom , okay ? i do n't want to hear your doubts about my wedding . bobbie : hey , i did n't say anything ! carly : no , but you 're thinking it . i can tell you 're thinking it . and let me just say this loud and clear -- i am very enthusiastic about my marriage to franco , okay ? so i do n't want to hear another word about it . [ scene_break ] sonny : do n't tell me heather got away . shawn : no . no . not a chance . i 've got her locked up tight and safe at the warehouse . she 's actually been on her best behavior . i gave her a blt for a little insurance . sonny : then what is the problem ? 'cause it sounds like she 's a model prisoner . shawn : well , she has been , but the problem is heather is under the impression that franco is her warden . [ scene_break ] scott : i appreciate that you and carly are keeping with tradition . i like tradition . i 'm traditional . that being said , get out . franco : get out ? scott : get out . franco : i 'm your flesh and your blood and the fruit of your loins . scott : all right , all right . franco : you would toss me out on the street on the eve of my wedding ? scott : i would , and i have to . franco : okay , look -- i 'm already here . and , by the way , i hate to be the one to tell you this , but it 's just you and me tonight anyway . scott : what ? ! what have you done with bobbie ? franco : i did n't do anything to bobbie . carly 's the one who kidnapped her . who has a girls ' night in with their own mother ? scott : great ! she 's not coming ! franco : sorry . but on the bright side , we 're not gon na have any interruptions . scott : how is that the bright side ? franco : well , it 's the bright side for me . hey , look at it this way -- we 've got the whole evening together for some quality time . and -- let 's face it -- we would n't want all this to go to waste , would we ? [ scene_break ] diane : you should have seen baldwin 's face . he actually thought he had an open - and - shut case just because the widow fairbanks had an ironclad prenup and , well , granted , was found standing over her husband 's dead body with the murder weapon in her hand . but the district attorney needs to familiarize himself with two simple words , those being `` reasonable doubt . `` the jury took 10 minutes -- came back with a verdict of not guilty . [ laughs ] right -- right now , baldwin is just licking his wounds in a fluffy hotel robe . well , that 's an image , is n't it ? nathan : i 'm sorry . what ? diane : hello . nathan : what ? diane : you know ... i understand that , being a detective , you are forced to side with the district attorney , but scott baldwin did n't just buy you dinner . i did . so , please do me the courtesy of at least feigning some interest . nathan : i 'm sorry . that was n't -- that was n't what was bothering me , although your client was clearly guilty and now running free , thanks to you . diane : yes . well , i 'm sure you will nab her the next time she offs a husband . nathan : i was distracted because of maxie . [ scene_break ] spencer : i do n't know about this beggars ' night . maxie : trust us -- it 's a thing . spencer : i 'll just have to look it up before i authorize the handing out of any candy . lucas : all right , then . nikolas : hello . maxie : hey ! nikolas : maxie , lucas , josslyn . britt : josslyn , great costume . child of the corn ? josslyn : finally ! someone gets me ! nikolas : uh , why the trick - or - treating ? is n't halloween tomorrow night ? maxie : it is , but josslyn 's mother ... lucas : a.k.a . my sister carly is actually getting married tomorrow night , so we decided to indulge tonight on beggars ' night . nikolas : i 'm sorry . beggars ' what ? britt : never heard of it . lucas : fun fact -- it 's actually only celebrated in a few parts of the country . nikolas : sure you 're not making that up ? spencer : no , dad . it 's real . it says so right here . maxie : basically , you go out the night before halloween and beg for candy . nikolas : how is that any different than the actual halloween night ? maxie : it 's not , um , but who could say no to more candy ? britt : definitely not me . and i know spencer loves candy . what do you say , spence ? it 's not too late to get dressed up and go over to the mainland . feel like knocking on some doors and the pursuit of chocolate ? spencer : no offense , but it sounds like , to me , that beggars ' night is for townies . britt : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] cameron : and that is the story of beggars ' night . sam : [ chuckles ] well , who can argue with a tradition like that ? emma : does that mean we can get some candy ? patrick : hey . emma : please ? sam : you know , i have some candy . it 's in the drawer next to the refrigerator . go help yourself . patrick : uh , only one piece , though . you hear me ? emma : okay . sam : cute costume . patrick : oh , yeah . thank you . sam : i - i actually like the beard . patrick : mm . yeah . well , somebody beat me at pool and forced me to shave the real one , so i 'm stuck with this synthetic substitute . sam : well , i have never seen a beardless lumberjack before . patrick : yeah . well , neither has emma . she 's insisting i wear this thing two nights in a row . sam : wait a minute . you 've got to wear this getup again tomorrow night ? patrick : yes , but i 'm using it as distraction until we hear back from tracy . sam : oh . uh , tracy . actually , um , i just heard from her . patrick : lord larry ashton ? who the hell is that ? sam : ned 's father , tracy 's ex - husband . this is typical of jerry . yes , he promises to give tracy her husband , but he does n't specify which one . patrick : son of a bitch . i knew it . so , i mean , we 're right back where we started , are n't we ? we have no idea where luke is . we do n't know if he 's working with jerry or if he 's a prisoner of jerry , and we still do n't know if he caused the accident that killed my son . sam : i am so sorry . i know you wanted answers from luke . and i just -- i wish we were closer to finding them . [ scene_break ] jason : maybe that 's why i thought i recognized you . there 's a resemblance . michael : between me and my mom ? jason : yeah . michael : that 's funny . usually people say i look like my uncle . he , uh -- he died a couple years back , but people usually mistook him for my father . this is a pretty weird conversation . jason : [ laughing ] yes , it is . let 's start over , okay ? my name is jake . uh , no last name because i was hit by a car and it affected my memory . michael : traumatic brain injury ? jason : yeah . michael : the same thing happened to me . yeah . i was in a coma for almost a year . jason : no kidding . michael : no . it took a while , but i recovered , and i 'm sure you will , too . jason : yeah . well , here 's hoping . thanks .

[ scene_break ] sonny : franco is heather 's son . he 's almost as crazy as she is . she probably just assumed that he was gon na broker her release from ferncliff . shawn : no . no . sonny : what ? shawn : no . what i got from our conversation was that franco was actually planning to bust heather out . [ scene_break ] diane : speaking of maxie , she has left me a slew of messages , but i 've been too busy holding the widow fairbanks ' hand to actually return any of them . i do n't even know what she 's calling me about . nathan : i do . diane : oh , good . do tell . nathan : well , it all started the night of our first date . diane : i knew it . i knew it ! the moment i saw you two together in judge walters ' chambers , i told her right then and there , `` he 's a keeper . `` once again , i 'm right . it never gets old . so , tell me everything . spare nothing . you were on your first date , and ... ? nathan : and judge walters spotted us . diane : that 's not at all where i thought this story was going . nathan : walters comes over to our table and makes it perfectly clear that he will not allow maxie any visitation with her daughter at all if she continues to see me . diane : i beg -- he -- he what ? ! nathan : walters pretty much ended any chance of us having a relationship -- unless you can help . [ scene_break ] maxie : we understand if your cupboards are a little bare . lucas : yeah . after all , you guys are n't from here . maxie : yeah , so it would make sense if you 're not prepared . britt : hmm . nikolas : well , i 'm sure we can scrounge up something . britt : yeah . nikolas : what do you say we go to the candy pantry -- see what we can find ? britt : my favorite room . i 'd love to . spencer : wait , wait , wait . here 's the key . alfred left it lying around , because he 's old , and i picked it up for him for safekeeping . nikolas : well , i 'll be sure and give it back to alfred . spencer : there 's popcorn in the living room if you want . josslyn : i know my uncle lucas loves popcorn . do n't you , uncle lucas ? lucas : uh , y -- i - i do indeed . uh , would you like some popcorn , maxie ? maxie : yep . do n't mind if i do . lucas : all right . spencer : okay . what 's going on ? why do you need my help ? josslyn : okay . my mother 's getting married to her freak - show boyfriend tomorrow , and i do n't want any part of it . no way am i going back home . spencer : so , what are you doing to do ? josslyn : i hid you ... so now you 're gon na return the favor . you have to find a place to hide me . spencer : and why would i do that ? josslyn : because you owe me . spencer : i owe you ? for what ? you gave me away because your stupid crush on cameron , the paper - folding townie . josslyn : it 's not my fault that i 'm under his dreamy spell . spencer : and while we 're on the subject , what ever happened to our big plan to bust up cameron and emma ? josslyn : what about it ? spencer : um , it 's been months , and the two of them are closer than ever . [ scene_break ] patrick : what 's going on here ? i thought i only said one piece . sam : [ chuckles ] emma : we did just take one . cameron : one bag each . sam : they must have found the stash that i had for my trick - or - treaters . cameron : serves them right for waiting till halloween . sam : yep . emma : it 's like cameron says -- you snooze , you lose . patrick : oh , really ? well , why do n't you take one piece and put the rest back ? sam : oh , come on , patrick . they can have the whole bag . patrick : okay . fine . because sam said so , you can have the bag . and now that we 've cleaned her out , we should move on to the next house . sam : hey , you guys have fun . emma : come with us . sam : come with you ? but i do n't have a costume . emma : we 'll think of something . patrick : yeah . we 'll think of something . i mean , you do n't want me to be the only one to look ridiculous tonight , do you ? sam : i do n't know about that . patrick : well , alexis and molly have danny , so you do n't want to leave me alone with these two on beggars ' night . come on , sam . sam : okay ! i 'll go ! emma : yeah ! whoo - hoo ! cameron : sweet ! sam : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] scott : i do n't know about you . i could use some real food . franco : i could eat . scott : of course , you could . well , this is your last big night as a bachelor , so let me order some room service -- a big steak or so , maybe a bottle of vodka ? franco : you do n't need to do that . scott : no . why not ? besides , carly owns the hotel . maybe i 'll get a discount . i know i 'm not the father that you imagined having . franco : it 's okay . i 'm pretty sure i 'm not the son that you imagined having . scott : well , you 're the only son i got left . tomorrow you , me , bobbie , and carly -- we 'll all be family , so i do n't know . maybe it 's the champagne talking , but i think we , uh -- we might be on to something here . i 'll go order the steaks . franco : beach , it 's franco . look , i do n't know why you 're not answering my phone calls . i need to know that heather 's safely stowed away . i need to know that nothing has gone wrong . [ scene_break ] sonny : what did heather tell you ? shawn : you know , it seems like she and franco had a plan to bust her out of ferncliff , but we just got to her first . sonny : what for ? shawn : i tried to get heather to tell me , but she would n't give up anything . you know , she figured if i was supposed to know , franco would have told me . she 's loyal . i give her that . sonny : why would franco want his psychotic mother on the loose ... right before his wedding day ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : it was very nice of lulu to accommodate franco 's request at the last minute . carly : all things considered , you 're right . bobbie : i should call her -- see if she needs anything -- help for tomorrow . carly : no , mom . i do n't think lulu 's coming to the wedding . i think she 's waiting to hear about luke . bobbie : luke ? what ? what 's she waiting to hear about luke ? carly : oh , my god . i thought you knew . i 'm so sorry . bobbie : you thought i knew what ? carly : according to lulu , it 's possible that jerry jacks is holding luke hostage . [ scene_break ] lucas : so , any news on the nathan front ? maxie : unfortunately , no . all it seems like i do anymore is avoid him . even when we accidentally wind up at the same place , like the gym , one of us has to leave . lucas : oh . i 'm sorry . that sucks . maxie : i miss him so much , lucas , and there 's nothing i can do about it . lucas : what about diane miller ? were n't you gon na reach out to her ? maxie : i did , and i have n't heard back from her . [ scene_break ] diane : and how may i be of service to ms. jones as she grapples with this gross miscarriage of justice ? nathan : so , maxie 's next visitation hearing is n't until the end of the year , and we do n't want to do anything to compromise that , so ... we have to stay away from each other . diane : this is a blatant misapplication of judicial authority . nathan : i agree , but i do n't think maxie and i have any choice . walters could have people watching us . diane : ha ! yet another perversion of authority , but i digress . so , as maxie 's attorney , what exactly does she want me to do ? nathan : first of all , is this even legal ? the judge is basically holding her daughter hostage . diane : it would appear so . nathan : maxie and i were only on our first date , but we 've been friends for a long time now . i miss her . diane : clearly . i will digress again and say how refreshing it is to meet a young man who so openly wears his heart on his sleeve . all of this `` i 'm too macho to show my feelings `` is a trite cliché and very insulting to the woman in question . it takes real courage to show one 's feelings . nathan : the last thing that i want to do is hurt maxie , and nothing would hurt her more than to keep her from her daughter . diane : hence your dilemma . nathan : can walters get away with keeping maxie and me apart ? or is there anything you can do to help us be together ? diane : yes , there is something i can do . nathan : please . anything . diane : walters has obviously lost all objectivity . he 's made this personal . so , i can file a complaint accusing him of bias . nathan : that sounds good . diane : while i 'm sure i can make a compelling argument , bias is very difficult to prove . there is a quid pro quo among the judiciary . when in doubt , they cover each other 's butts . nathan : so , what 's the downside ? diane : if i lose , which is rare but could happen , this might all backfire , and walters could dig his heels in even deeper and take out his frustration on maxie . nathan : i ca n't do it . i - i ca n't take the risk . i wo n't stand between maxie and her little girl . diane : i 'm so sorry , nathan . maxie has become , really , one of my clients . and even on such short acquaintance , i can see you 're very good for her . nathan : thank you . aside from the legal option ... is there anything else we could try ? diane : maybe there is . [ scene_break ] lucas : well , keep your head up . maxie : i 'll try . josslyn , are you ready to go ? josslyn : we still do n't have any candy . nikolas : someone want some candy ? britt : ta - da ! josslyn : why would you even ask ? maxie : oh , wow . you guys were not kidding about the candy pantry . britt : yeah . you never know when a situation calls for s 'm ores . right , spencer ? spencer : absolutely . nikolas : take all you want , joss . you , too . there 's obviously more than enough for everyone . lucas : wow . now i guess i understand why everybody loves beggars ' night . nikolas : right ? you lost one . josslyn : cameron and emma are still together . i still want to be with him , and you still want to be with her . but what are we supposed to do about it ? spencer : i do n't know , but we 're gon na have to figure it out before we see them again .

[ chuckles ] my mom 's doing this . i 'm not really sure why , but i made a decision to support her , and that 's what i 'm gon na do . jason : i 'm sure she 's grateful . you -- you can tell , when she talks about you , even when she says your name , it 's clear just how much you mean to her . michael : yeah . well , me and my mom have always been close . same with me and my dad ... the one i did n't know was my biological father . maybe that 's why it 's so important that i find his killer . [ scene_break ] shawn : look , i 'm coming up blank . i guess i 'm not crazy enough to suss out why franco would want heather back out on the streets . sonny : it 's good that we got to her first . last time heather was free , she kidnapped carly , terrorized her for weeks . we got to keep her under lock and key . shawn : i 'm on it . sonny : and it does n't change the arrangements . there 's no reason we ca n't take out franco before the wedding and pin it on heather . shawn : i do n't see any problems with moving forward as planned , although franco 's got to be wondering what the hell happened to heather . [ scene_break ] franco : call me as soon as you get this , beach . i need to know where heather is . scott : what was that all about ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : it 's all my fault . carly : your fault ? why would you say that ? bobbie : well , because jerry would never be on the loose if i had n't untied him when luke had him all trussed up at the metro court last year . carly : stop blaming yourself , okay ? you have to stop doing that . jerry played on your feelings , and he manipulated you . bobbie : you know what ? i 've got to call lulu and find out what the hell is going on . carly : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] carly : what ? sonny : hello to you , too . carly : sonny , what do you want ? [ scene_break ] nathan : so , there 's a way that maxie and i could still see each other ? diane : courthouse gossip has it that judge walters is now dating monica quartermaine . perhaps she could intercede on your behalf . nathan : can you think of a reason why dr. quartermaine would want to help me and maxie ? diane : maxie once went out of her way to cover for michael , monica 's grandson . in fact , maxie 's deposition was the most dazzling piece of misdirection i have ever been witness to . nathan : so , monica might be grateful to maxie ? diane : quite possibly . then again , since the ultimate outcome was that michael did a stint in pentonville , possibly not . [ scene_break ] maxie : looks like we all had the same idea about beggars ' night . patrick : great minds . nikolas : wait a minute . you 're not from here , either . how 'd you know about this little tradition ? sam : oh , i learned about it tonight , so i thought i 'd get into the spirit . maxie : not as much as this guy . you make a great lumberjack . patrick : thank you . lucas : well , yeah , and the kids are supercute . so , what 's up with you ? why are n't you all decked out ? patrick : oh , no . no . she is . lucas : oh . maxie : what are you supposed to be ? sam : what do you think ? i 'm a tree . maxie : oh , wow ! oh , that 's cute . spencer : well , well , well . i should have known that the townie would be out begging for candy on beggars ' night . cameron : oh , i do n't have to beg to get what i want . i just have to smile . that 's how i get candy ... and how i stole your girlfriend . spencer : i do n't know what you 're talking about . i 've got a new girlfriend . josslyn finally came around when she realized how much we have in common . emma : you do ? josslyn : yes , emma , we do . turns out spencer and i want the same things out of life . spencer : we 've been having a lot of fun together . as a matter of fact , we 've got a wedding to do go . emma : you 're getting married ? josslyn : [ chuckles ] no . spencer : we 're going to someone else 's wedding . but one day we will get married in a very elaborate ceremony . but you 'll get to watch it on tv . patrick : okay , you two . let 's go . we got two bags of candy and a whole half- pantryful , so time to get going . spencer : aw , so soon ? pity you could n't stay longer . emma : i still have questions for spencer . patrick : well , then , you 're in luck , 'cause we get to do this whole thing again tomorrow , okay ? come on . spencer : bye ! thank you for coming by ! cameron : why is josslyn wasting her time with that jerk ? josslyn : what the heck ? ! spencer : we need a plan , and now we have one . josslyn : the more important thing is to get me out of this wedding , not invite yourself to it ! spencer : do you want to break up my lady and your tramp ? josslyn : i 'm listening . spencer : okay . so , i remembered that once two kids pretending to be a couple to get this other couple jealous , and i thought we could try it , too . josslyn : did it work when they did it ? spencer : well ... the girl -- she left town , and the guy -- he died . josslyn : so ... maybe this plan is n't such a good idea . spencer : are you kidding ? us combine our scheming ? we could make it work . maxie : come on , josslyn . it 's time to go . are you ready ? spencer : bye , josslyn . see you at the wedding .

[ scene_break ] maxie : does what dillon knows have something to do with your secret ? nathan : how could i possibly know that ? maxie : dante , thank god . please make nathan tell me his secret . we 're a couple , and we 're supposed to tell each other things , and it 's not fair he wo n't tell me . dante : you know , maxie , you 're the last person who should be complaining about people keeping secrets . you spent nine months pretending to be pregnant with lulu 's and my child . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , ric , how soon before we get avery back where she belongs ? ric : um ... listen , sonny , i want you to know that i 'm gon na do everything that i can to help you get your daughter back . sonny : that 's why we do n't waste any time . we got married a few days ago . carly : and sonny 's kids are willing to testify -- dante , michael , morgan , and kristina . ric : yeah , well , that 's helpful , but , um ... we do have another problem . sonny : what 's that , ric ? ric : well , you are currently in the hospital , recovering from injuries sustained at the hands of a business rival . sonny : i 'm getting better every day . ric : i 'm -- i 'm glad to hear that , but we got to face facts here , sonny . we have a grueling custody case in front of us . i think you need to evaluate your obstacles and ... decide whether you 're strong enough to face them . [ scene_break ] ava : now , how is sonny making me look bad ? and please , do n't you dare tell me he 's accusing me of being a criminal . i mean , he 's been the godfather of this town for decades . i mean , half the crime here could be attributed to him . scott : one time he goes to prison , he commits an act of heroism , and he gets a full pardon . he 's like a celebrity gangster now , so never underestimate his popularity and how he can sway public opinion . he 's also got a bunch of kids lining up for the christmas card photo and singing his praise , not to mention he married carly . so now they can offer avery something you ca n't -- a two- parent home . ava : oh , c -- oh , come on . i 've never bought into that claptrap of the disadvantages of a single - parent household . half the households out there only have one parent . look , i raised kiki alone , and look how beautifully she turned out . scott : well , she wants nothing to do with you . ava : well , i admit that ... kiki 's a little upset with me right now . but that does n't destroy the bond that we have . more importantly , she loves her little sister . and i know that , deep down , kiki knows that avery belongs with me . scott : how deep ? do you think the love for you will surface before the custody hearing ? ava : no , i 'm -- i 'm sure that kiki would be willing to testify on my behalf . scott : well , good , because the custody hearing is right around the corner , so you need to lock kiki down as a character witness . do it .

while planning the halloween party at the haunted star , maxie knows that dillon insists there is a `` secret `` about dante that nobody knows except for him which might drastically change things and possibly end dante 's a lulu 's happy marriage . nathan realizes that he knows what that secret is but does not believe it 's his secret to tell maxie and wants her to drop it . she does not do that however . valerie tells dillon that even though he wants to expose dante and get lulu to end their marriage so that dillon can have lulu , she reminds him that revealing that secret will harm her as well as dante . at that point , dillon agrees to keep his mouth shut for her . they agree to answer maxie 's question that the `` secret `` is that the two of them are getting back together and realizing valerie has no future with dante nor dillon with lulu . yet maxie does not buy that explanation . lulu is presently angry and ready to end her friendship with dillon given his `` cockiness `` that he can take her from dante when she presently has no desire to do so . jake and elizabeth are ready to get married but he still has reservations about having a future with her . both sonny and ava are ready for their custody battle for baby avery . ric represents sonny but warns him that he has some major strikes against him in custody court . scott baldwin is ready to represent ava but warns her of the same thing . he also believe that she is at his desperate mercy since he `` saved her `` from getting charged with murder . little does he know , little does she reveal to him that although he has no clue what happened to the flash - drive recording of her murder confession , she knows that paul hornsby has it in his possession and is now `` pulling her strings `` with it . kiki is still in a very negative life condition and not about to forgive much less help her mom in the custody hearing . when nobody suspects or realizes , spinelli sits alone in the floating rib on his computer and reveals he is ready to make a breakthrough and unravel the mystery of whom jake doe really is .

many people are getting ready for halloween although the spirits are not the same as previous years , given the tragic death of morgan and many other things going on in port charles . carly wants to bury herself in work at the metro court although her mom urges her to go home and get some rest . nelle is acting very helpful and supportive to both sonny and carly and neither of them suspect anything about her . however , when bobbie is alone with nelle , she expresses her suspicions about how nelle is making herself `` indispensable `` to bobbie 's daughter and how it 's too convenient that nelle seems to know everything about carly 's life . when sonny is alone in the house and depressed , he envisions himself having a `` do - over `` with morgan where he encourages his son not to give up and promises to be there for him , as he failed to do before it was too late . he `` sees `` morgan feeling ok and not discouraged and they bond on a positive note . yet , oddly , when he is awakened to the `` here and now `` , he hears the doorbell ring , goes to open the door and sees morgan at the door . we can not tell , right now , if his son is really alive or if it 's only an illusion . alexis is also struggling while stuck at home with nothing to do , when sam and danny come to see her . they encourage her to join laura at the party she is hosting at wyndemere to celebrate being able to sell the property after her son has died . kevin comes to join laura and she 's happy to see him . lulu and dante join them . they assume kevin is still wearing his halloween mask when `` someone `` enters through the door , says nothing and does not remove the mask to reveal who he really is . while nathan is baffled about being unable to find out when , where , or how claudette boarded the airplane flight to return to canada , nor any information of the whereabouts of valentin cassadine , maxie wants her fiancé to take a break and not worry about it . dante is also not concerned and assuming that valentin is far away , locked up and assures his partner they need not worry . at wyndemere , laura finds out she will not be able to sell the property , as she 'd previously been assured by everyone . she demands to know why and finds out the property does not belong to nikolas nor to spencer . she asks whom it does belong to , and at that point , the guy with the mask removes it to reveal that he is valentin cassadine .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you have no idea what i 've been through , what my life has been . olivia : i read the papers . sonny : that 's not me . police rap sheets , newspaper reports , they do n't describe who i am . olivia : you look me in the eye , and you tell me you 're not still a power junkie . sonny : well , i have my limits . like i said before , i have no intention of marrying claudia . kate : you see , olivia ? you got all fired up for nothing . sonny : he 's gone . kate : okay . sonny : how 're you doing ? kate : okay . sonny : come on . olivia : connie , you 're kidding yourself . you 're doing it all over again , connie . you 're believing his lies , just like you believed him when he told you that he was out of the mob . kate : leave it . olivia : i do n't care what promises he makes to you . i do n't care what words he says . if marrying claudia is going to get him his power back , honey , that 's what he is going to do . and you need to have the decency to tell her the truth and stop stringing her along . kate : you know , olivia , i am starting to think that the reason you 're all fired up about this is because you want sonny , after all . [ scene_break ] claudia : daddy . claudia : your pulse is all over the place . i used to pray for this when i was a little girl , that something like this would happen to you for all the horrible things you 've done . maybe this is god answering my prayers . johnny : what happened ? claudia : he was yelling at me and then he collapsed . what are you doing ? johnny : i 'm calling for help . claudia : no . john , think about it . think about how much better our lives would be without that old bastard in it . johnny : what are you talking about ? he 's our father . i do n't care what he 's done . claudia : please , johnny . let the old man die . [ scene_break ] robin : uncle mac , calm down . everything 's fine . mac : jason still ca n't stay for the wedding . maxie : that 's probably something we should have discussed before . mac : look at him . he 's not even dressed for a wedding . you know better than to show up here , jason . robin : okay , can i just have a moment alone with him , please ? elizabeth : i 'm going to get the bride 's room ready . maxie : yeah , the bride 's in charge on her wedding day . that 's tradition , so -- robin : so , what changed your mind about coming to the wedding ? jason : well , maxie made me think twice about why i should accept your invitation . robin : good . i just have another thing to thank her for . jason : so , i am going to leave it up to you . robin : well , if it 's up to me , then i want you here .

[ scene_break ] robin : hi . elizabeth : hey . maxie : okay . so , everything is under control . robin : i know . maxie : no , seriously . all i have to do is wait for the caterers to show up , make sure the cake gets here in one piece , and that the limo does n't break down . elizabeth : but , other than that , everything is under control . robin : i trust you completely , maxie . maxie : of course you do . oh , damn -- the priest . i did n't mean damn . not in a church . robin : it 's okay . it 's technically the bride 's room . i do n't think you 're going to hell . elizabeth : okay . so , up or down ? robin : i do n't care , as long as you keep doing this . maxie : i know you meant whatever looks best with your dress . robin : i really do n't care either way . maxie : are you losing it ? robin : maxie , come on . do it with me -- deep breath . [ both exhale ] robin : hey , thank you for talking to jason . it means a lot to me that he 's here . maxie : well , i thought it was kind of selfish of him not to show up on your special day . and do n't worry about patrick . robin : oh , i 'm -- maxie : spinelli will make sure he gets here in one piece . elizabeth : now you can worry . robin : you know , patrick and i have done enough worrying for two lifetimes , but the second i agreed to marry him , i have n't had a second thought . elizabeth : reverse hormones . maxie : okay , i 'm going to go make four quick phone calls , and then i 'm going to go home and change , but i 'll make it back here in time to do your makeup . everything will be great . you will see . robin : i am sure . wait -- wait -- hold on -- hold on . i have to tell you something . i love you , very much . maxie : oh , god . [ laughing ] robin : bye . elizabeth : okay , now you can relax . all i have to do is your hair , and you can be as worried as you want in front of me . robin : you know what ? i keep waiting to get nervous , but i 'm not . you know , i keep waiting for this wave of panic to hit me , to tell me that i 'm doing something wrong , but all i feel is very content and like i ca n't wait to marry patrick . [ scene_break ] matt : look , if you 're asking me to your wedding out of some sense of obligation , do n't bother . the fact that noah blew me off my entire life does n't mean that you owe me squat . patrick : hey , noah was m.i.a . for most of my childhood , also -- emotionally speaking . so , honestly , i do n't know what 's worse -- the fact that you did n't know him or that he was there for me but felt like a stranger . leyla : dr. drake ? patrick : yes ? leyla : nurse johnson sent me to tell you that she 's gone to get ready for your wedding and so should you . patrick : yes , yes . tell her i 'm right behind her . leyla : okay . patrick : thank you . matt : see , this is why weddings are such a bad idea . they bring out the worst in everyone . patrick : okay , matt , bottom line . we 're brothers . now , we can build on that or not , but i 'm making you an offer , and i really hope you accept . [ scene_break ] maxie : this is a disaster . you 're not in your tux . i 'm not in my dress . we need to get out of here so we can get back here . so that we 're not no - shows at robin 's wedding , because i planned it . mac : come here . come here a second . maxie : dad , if this is about jason -- mac : sit down . it 's not about jason , all right . i 'm obviously powerless over that insanity . no , i 'm just -- i 'm just sitting here wondering where the time goes . you know , the first time i saw robin was at kelly 's ? she was this adorable , in - your - face little girl who absolutely knew her own mind and would n't take `` no `` for an answer . maxie : so , she has n't changed much . [ both laugh ] mac : you know , i hate to admit it , but back then i was a bit of a trouble maker . and one day i thought my brother and his wife had been killed , and suddenly i found myself responsible for raising their child . and you were n't far behind . i blinked , married your mom , and got you and georgie in the bargain . and what a bargain it was . maxie : sometimes it does n't seem fair . it 's almost like you got stuck with us . you know , raising us , putting up with us , and you did n't even ask for it . mac : well , if it ever bothered me , i do n't remember -- especially on a day like today . wow , robin 's getting married . soon she 'll have a baby . it could n't be more perfect . maxie : what do you think you would have done if you had n't fallen in love with my mom ? mac : hmm , hmm . i do n't know . who knows , you know ? when you 're young , you 're all about your career . you define yourself by what you do , and not who you are . in those days , it was all about going off on some adventure to save the world , and then i became police commissioner and it was about busting the bad guys . but the most important -- most important thing i ever did in my whole life was raise you three girls . the rest is gravy . maxie : well , i think you did a really great job with robin and georgie . mac : i think i did a really great job with you , too . i love you , maxie . so much . you know , you , robin , and georgie are my true success . i miss your sister . i wish she could be here with us . maxie : she is , dad . [ scene_break ] olivia : connie was completely out of line there . sonny : okay , olivia , kate is in no condition to hear any stories about me marrying claudia . you -- do me a favor -- let it go . olivia : she 's in condition to make snide comments and get all up in my face with this crap about me being jealous . that -- it 's completely no basis in reality , okay ? okay , the smartest day of my life was the day that i dumped you on the corner of 19th and sullivan and walked out of your life . sonny : well , you did n't really walk out of my life . did you ? because you just broke into my damn house , and you obviously feel something or else you would n't be getting in my face . [ scene_break ] leyla : patrick . patrick : i know , i know . i 'm almost done . leyla : okay , you do realize that everybody who is going to your wedding has actually left the hospital . patrick : i do , okay . look -- officially signed out . the next time i sign in , i 'm a married man . leyla : good . oh , patrick ? patrick : yeah ? leyla : i just want you to know that i wish you and robin every happiness . i really mean it . patrick : i know you do . thank you for that . okay ? so , that 's it . leyla : go . go , go , go . doctor : patient suffered a grand mal , an aneurysm that 's slowly leaking . patrick : well , i 'm off duty . i ca n't -- leyla : dr. drake has a prior engagement . johnny : i will pay you anything to save my father . [ scene_break ] olivia : i am completely impervious to you , sonny . i look at you . i feel exactly nothing . sonny : yeah , really ? then why are you so angry ? olivia : because i ca n't stand what you 're doing to my cousin . okay , i got to stand here like a dummy and watch her swallow your lies whole . it 's making me feel sick -- sonny : i 'm not lying . olivia : you 're lying so good you do n't even know you 're doing it . sonny : why do you keep saying i 'm lying , when i 'm not lying ? olivia : okay , i -- i give you that . you believe your own lies . you got yourself convinced that you would n't touch this claudia zacchara with a ten foot pole , which is a very good instinct by the way , but it 's a massive case of self - deception . sonny : you know what ? this is just -- it seems so familiar -- you going off on a rant because you do n't want to see me anymore , you do n't want me to call . and then if i do n't call you or see you , then you get pissed off . because you were never really good at saying what you really mean . olivia : no , you were never really good at hearing what i was saying . just -- you just do whatever the hell you want . like the time you cut school to take me to a yankees game , when you stole the money for the tickets -- sonny : no , i did n't steal -- hey , i did n't steal the money for -- i did n't steal . enzo owed me money . olivia : or making a deal with this zacchara guy that makes you the king of the mob , only you got to marry his crazy daughter first . sonny : i 'm not about to discuss business with you . olivia : you do n't have to discuss squat with me , sonny , because i know what i know -- and i know you . and i know that you 'll do anything to get power , even if you got to break your own heart . [ scene_break ] robin : thank you so much for doing my hair . if maxie would have done it , i think she would have left me bald or burned my hair or something . [ laughing ] elizabeth : well , after everything you 've been through , it is my pleasure to add a small contribution to your big day . robin : i do n't know what i was so afraid of . i mean , everything just feels right . elizabeth : you know , with all the disappointments i have had in my life , it 's really hard for me not to be cynical , and i want to believe that love is possible . and when i see you like this , i know it is . robin : hey , come here . sit down for a second . please ? i just want you to know that i 'm really glad that we 're friends . your friendship means a lot to me , and you 're such a generous person , and , well -- i have a little confession to make . [ laughing ] robin : i did n't invite jason to the wedding just for me . i wanted him to be able to look at you through the ceremony and maybe get some ideas . elizabeth : i do n't really know how to feel about that . robin : well , let me put it this way . you 're a good friend . i care about jason a lot , and it would make me so happy if the two of you were to end up together . so , since today is all about me elizabeth : mm - hmm . robin : you 're just going to have to indulge me on this one . elizabeth : i 'll try .

[ scene_break ] robin : do you think your dad 's nervous at all ? [ chuckles ] robin : maybe just a little bit , right ? you know this is going to be a huge adjustment for him , so you and i are going to have to be very , very patient . robin : do you know how crazy in love i am with your dad ? i mean , it was just silly of me to ever hesitate marrying him because ever since the moment i said `` i will `` everything has been perfect . [ laughs ] robin : well , i 'm glad that you agree . i feel so blessed to be having you -- and so grateful . i 'm so lucky to have found a man like your dad that loves me the way that he does . but you know , well , your dad was something of a ladies man . so , he may not take to domestic life so easily . but do n't you worry . it 's going to be an adventure for all of us . [ scene_break ] olivia : you do what you got to do , sonny . okay ? all i 'm asking is that you be honest with my cousin . sonny : well , you 're not asking . you hardly ever did . that was one of your problems . olivia : that 's not an answer . sonny : you want an answer ? olivia : yeah . sonny : i 'll give you an answer . my son was shot . he 's in a coma . kate was shot right in front of me . i will avenge kate 's shooting . and in order for me to do that , i have to get back in the mob . end of conversation . olivia : this is so typical . this is so typical you . yeah , you make up your mind about something , and then you do n't care how much it hurts you , or how much pain it causes people around you . sonny : you just figured it out . i 'm just a heartless bastard , right ? olivia : sonny , sonny . i do n't think you 're some crazy sociopath who enjoys killing people . okay ? but you accept murder as a necessary evil . am i wrong ? tell me i 'm wrong . sonny : the door 's right there . olivia : too close to the truth ? sonny : no , no , not really . you want to know the truth ? i kill bad people . karpov is a bad man . and he will pay for shooting kate . i need that inside of me . olivia : see , this is only half about revenge , sonny . what you really want is your power back . you want to be back in the mob . you want your mob life back . do n't worry about it . all you got to do is marry claudia zacchara to get it .

[ scene_break ] dominic : listen , the news about claudia is n't good . michael : that 's one way to put it . dominic : well , you know , maybe you should wait a little bit before talking to your father . i mean , he 's having this party . he 's invited a lot of friends and family . let him enjoy it a little before you lower the boom . michael : yeah . yeah , maybe . maybe . dominic : yeah . you know what ? why do n't you get a second opinion ? i mean , if you do n't want to talk to me , why do n't you run it by jason or something ? michael : forget it . forget it . i 'll just find a way to deal with it myself .

[ jax sighs ] dominic : well , on behalf of mr. corinthos , i 'd like to thank you for throwing this elegant birthday part in honor of his wife . jax : all right . cut the crap . you do n't have to thank me . i just want sonny behind bars , okay ? that 's what you 're doing here tonight -- working undercover , right , detective falconeri ? dominic : this is n't exactly the best time to mention it . jax : just work your case against sonny , okay ? dominic : i 'm working on it . jax : are you ? 'cause it seems to me that you 're getting a little bit too comfortable in your role as family friend . dominic : you know what ? well , sonny 's a tough target . but you already knew that , right ? otherwise , you would have found a way to lock him up years ago . alexis : that looked tense . jax : yeah , well , i 've been snapping at everyone all night , so -- alexis : okay . please do n't snap at me if i ask you why . jax : despite carly going into false labor a week ago , she wanted to come tonight . so i 'm hoping that i talked her out of it . alexis : oh , knowing carly , i bet that wo n't work . i 'm sorry . do n't snap . thank you . jax : well , i 'm here to supervise this farce because i own the hotel . so what 's your excuse ?

[ scene_break ] dominic : i had no idea you and sonny had such a history . robin : oh , yeah . years and years of it . come to think of it , you kind of remind me of him when he was younger . dominic : hmm . how so ? robin : well , he used to be a lot more jokey and would smile a lot more . these days , he 's a little bit more guarded . dominic : um , yeah . i guess i could probably use a little restraint myself . excuse me . the hosting duties are calling . robin : fine . maxie : i 'm going to make this quick , because i have to get back to the office . but what exactly are your intentions with lulu ? lulu : uh , you do n't -- [ dominic chuckles ] lulu : have to answer that . dominic : well , i could try , but you 're awfully hard to ignore .

[ jason sighs ] sam : personally , i want claudia to rot in hell , just like you . you have already lost so much , jason . michael could turn on you . sonny could turn on you . he may not be in love with her , but he certainly likes being married to her . killing her would be the ultimate act of defiance . you could wind up losing everything that matters to you .

[ scene_break ] alexis : so , this is the price of co - parenting -- showing up at a party of a woman that you loathe . but you do it for the sake of your child . jax : well , you could have called and sent your regrets . alexis : no , because kristina really , really wanted to be here , and i really , really did n't want her to . so i 'm making an appearance instead . jax : just taking one for the team , right ? alexis : that 's what we do . and i 'm so glad i have my empathetic friend here who hates being here as much as i do . certainly not fun and games for you , is it ? jax : ca n't wait for this to be over . alexis : i have this sense -- i do n't know . maybe it 's just my normal paranoia of being in a public place with sonny -- but i get this feeling that something really , really bad is going to happen .

[ alexis sighs ] mayor floyd : you know , i never gave you a proper apology for the trouble that my late wife caused you . i 'm sorry . alexis : thank you , garrett . i 'm sorry , too , because i think we both came up with a bunch of false accusations about each other . so how about we just call a truce and let bygones be bygones ? mayor floyd : actually , i 'd like you back -- as district attorney , that is . alexis : oh . oh ! well , that 's very flattering , garrett , but i 'm going to have to say no , because i love private practice . it gives me more time with my girls , a flexible schedule . but thanks anyway .

todd : well , because i have a restless mind , man . i ca n't manage anything over 200 pages . i mean , how long is it ? olivia : what is that ? sam : todd manning is as guilty of keeping danny from me as that lunatic heather webber . carly : the charges were dropped . todd said he had nothing to do with the switch . sam : and you believe him ? carly : yes , i do . sam : [ scoffs ] just take your word for it , then , huh ? carly : yeah , you can take my word for it . i know when someone 's lying to me . sam : even when that someone 's your boyfriend ? johnny : i am not lying to you . i love connie . starr : and that trumps all of your other relationships ? carly and me ? johnny : your friendship means the world to me . starr : if that were true , then you would n't have trashed it . johnny : it 's not like you have to hang out with her . starr : that 's what you think i 'm worried about ? running into connie someplace ? you 're helping a murderer walk the street . she is free to hurt and kill whenever she feels like it . johnny : she 's not gon na do that again . starr : how do you know ? johnny : because i do . starr : give me a reason . johnny : i want to make this right between us , and i will do anything . name it . starr : get connie committed . you 're connie 's husband . you have the legal right to put her in shadybrook . johnny : it 's not that simple . starr : get kate the help she needs , johnny . that 's how you can make this right . connie : you got some steel in your spine telling sonny boy to shove it . and you got that from me , by the way . you 're welcome . trey : i 've been praying i did n't get anything from you . connie : hey - ey , man ! i 'm giving you a compliment ! you know , you got guts ! sonny knew exactly what he was doing when he came over here . you 're all sad and vulnerable . trey : yeah , kind of like you right now , right ? connie : no , but you 're smart , trey . you 're smarter than he is because you would never let him rattle your cage or do anything , bully you , nothing to change your mind , right ? trey : it depends . connie : on what ? trey : when i was born and left for dead , was that you , or was that kate ? michael : i would do anything for you , too , dad . which is ... why i 've been thinking a lot about the next move . sonny : whose next move ? michael : the organization 's . sonny : yeah , you leave that up to me . michael : dad , bernie was shot with two different guns . trey said that joe told him he was working with someone else , like -- like a boss or ... he was definitely answering to him . sonny : yeah ?

because he 's such a good guy ? he 's a stand - up citizen ? what ? carly : no , because i 've seen him interact with his daughter , sam . he knows what it means to be a parent . and if he thought your son was being kept from you , he 'd make it right . todd : that 's probably just a bookmark . i 'll throw it out . olivia : mary , mother of god . this is ... this is a paternity test for sam morgan 's baby . and it ... it says that franco is n't the father . jason is . a.j . : i do n't know how to thank you . nothing seems like it 's enough . monica : you were the one who fought your way back . a.j . : yeah , mom . you were the one who kept me out of prison . monica : do you remember what happened ?

monica : i 'm saying that ... everybody is under the impression that you are gone right now , and ... i 'm the only one that knows you 're alive , so ... so if we want to keep it that way , then you 're just going to have to stay dead . a.j . : mom , you put your career on the line for me . monica : i was n't the only one . steven : but ... but we called it . monica : well , too early , apparently . steven : how the hell did ... monica : it does n't matter . what matters is that he 's alive , and now i 'm asking you as a boss , as a family friend , and as a mother to help me keep him that way , please . monica : i could n't have snuck you out or faked the autopsy without steve webber . a.j . : well , i guess we 're lucky steve agreed . monica : he really had no choice . he blamed himself for not saving your life . a.j . : so , this -- this really worked ? i mean , no one has -- no one has a clue that i 'm alive ? monica : not a soul . michael : you do n't think i can do it . sonny : you 've hurt too much already , michael . you know what the best thing in my life is ? becoming -- becoming your father . but it was selfish . michael : no , it was n't . sonny : yes , it was . michael : a.j . and the quartermaines wanted to take me away from my mother . i would have hated growing up in that house . sonny : i - i -- the life that i gave you was a lot more dangerous than anything they could have cooked up . michael : i 'm still here , dad . sonny : no thanks to me . michael : somebody needs to have your back . sonny : you know what i see when i look at you ? i see the life that i wished that -- that -- that i had . college , education , girls , parties ... a - a real life . do you understand what i 'm saying ? michael : i thought you liked what you do . sonny : i - i - i -- the only thing that i know is my power and retaliation ! that 's it ! i want more for you ! michael : what if i do n't ? sonny : mike , mike , mike . listen to me , okay ? you remind me of jason . when he first came to me , he was a little younger than you are . he wanted a job . i said , `` you do n't want to get involved in this , because once you get in , you ca n't get out . `` but that 's what he wanted . michael : but you gave him a choice . that -- that 's -- that 's all i want . sonny : jason would have done anything for me . he probably ... probably died protecting my -- l my territory . but you know the one thing that he wanted in -- in life , only one thing in return ? a good life for you . that 's what ... that 's what i want , buddy , okay ? you can do anything you want in life . you can become anything you want . michael : except your number two , right ? sonny : all i want for you is to have a happy , safe , good life ... one that your mother and jason and i can be proud of . it 's all you got to do . just ... just live . connie : you sure you want to poke around in my head , trey ? you might not like what you find . trey : who left me to die ? was it you , or was it kate ? connie : it was kate . trey : [ scoffs ] why am i not surprised you said that ? connie : my hand to god , trey . all right ? she was raped , to her defense . she was pregnant and alone and completely freaked out . trey : oh , yeah , and all this makes it all okay , does n't it ? connie : no , it does n't make it okay , all right ? but she -- she was a baby herself ! how was she gon na take care of another baby ? not to mention a screaming kid does n't fit in with her makeover plans . she was ambitious . she had a scholarship to princeton . she was ready to go . she had goals . a screaming child was excess baggage . trey , look at me . she left you . she did n't turn back . i 'm sorry . trey : i - i just , i do n't get it . connie : what ? trey : i do n't get it . if this was n't your call , then why the hell did you say all those nasty things ? connie : what are you talking about ? what nasty things ? trey : that you wanted me dead , then and now . connie : i know . did this happen at sonny 's house a couple days before the wedding ? it was kate . that was kate , trey . i did n't say that . trey : come on . sure sounded an awful lot like you . connie : oh , yeah . do you know she gets all bensonhurst when she gets pissed off ? i would never say that to you , trey . this is why i hate d.i.d . , because i get blamed for everything ! trey : oh , yeah , like killing cole and hope . connie : yes ! exactly ! trey : so , wait a minute . so , you -- you did n't kill them . johnny : i ca n't commit connie . starr : you can , but you wo n't , right ? just like trey . johnny : starr , please do n't leave like this . what about tonight ? starr : find a replacement . johnny : your career ? starr : i quit . johnny : i thought singing meant everything to you . starr : it did . because it helped me move on , because you told me to use it to express how i felt . but with the way i feel right now , johnny , if i open my mouth to sing , something ugly would come out . johnny : starr , wait . please . sam : i do n't -- i do n't suppose asking you to call before you show up would do any good . carly : [ chuckles ] well , that never worked for jason , did it ? look , i came here for jason and for you . but i came here for me , too . [ voice breaking ] i just ... see him everywhere , and i have all these memories flashing and ... gosh . it 's hard . i have this , um ... [ sniffles ] ... voicemail from jason . he just left it , you know , and it was short and sweet , and -- and he just says , `` hey , carly . it 's me calling you back . `` and i think i 've listened to it a million times . sam : oh , man . i would -- i would give just about anything to get a voicemail from jason right now . carly : take it . sam : no . no , i ca n't . carly : yeah , you can . it 's yours . please , take it . [ sighs ] sam : yeah ? carly : yeah . sam : thank you . carly : it just seems so unfair . i mean , that all we have are memories and voicemails . it just seems like there should be more . olivia : this is not a hallucination . but how did -- how did heather get a dna test for sam 's baby ? todd : do n't look at me . i just -- i - i - i just cleared off her desk . olivia : maybe the other one , the franco one , was the fake and maybe jason is the father of that baby and heather was trying to hide it . todd : `` i 'll fix your wagon ! `` olivia : what ? todd : `` i 'll fix your wagon . `` that 's what heather used to say . `` i 'll fix your wagon , sam . `` i mean , i thought she was talking about the appalachian trail , but maybe -- maybe there was more to it . olivia : what do you think ? what ? does it look legit ? steven : the other one looked legit , too . olivia : but it 's possible , right ? it 's possible , maybe . maybe jason is the father of sam 's baby . steven : [ sighs ] there 's only one way to find out . johnny : here . starr : what 's that ? johnny : it 's the master of the cd we made . i was gon na give it to you as a surprise . hey , give it a listen . it 's awesome . and having said that , if you still want to walk away , i understand . you 're a talented young woman , and ... the last thing i want to do is hold you back . starr : thank you . johnny : i never meant to hurt you . starr : too many times i 've heard that . as if it 's some kind of an excuse or a justification or somehow lessens the pain . you may not have meant to hurt me , johnny , but you did . connie : i 'm just saying that what happened to those kids is a tragedy . if i could undo it , i would . but i ca n't . so that 's it . trey : nah . i do n't buy it . i do n't believe a word that 's coming out of your mouth . you 're not sorry . you 're not sorry for any of it , killing that man and his -- his little girl , leaving me for dead . connie : i told you that was kate . trey : look , you may think i 'm an easy target because it took me 25 years to figure my dad out . but i had you figured out in 10 minutes . connie : now , you hold on right now and get your facts straight , trey . trey : fact -- you are a lying , scheming psychopath . connie : you do not want me as an enemy . trey : you better lawyer up , then . you 're gon na need it . sonny : i need you to promise that you 're gon na drop this idea of working with me . michael : [ sighs ] i wo n't push it if it 's that important to you . sonny : thank you . michael : [ sighs ] i 'm just worried , dad . sonny : i know you are , but you got to remember , i was doing this long before i met jason . i 'll figure out a way to make it work . michael : okay . sonny : okay . now , i know you just went to see monica , but maybe it 's a good idea if you go check on them . michael : yeah , she was worried about how edward would take the news . sonny : well , they need you a lot more right now than i do . i mean , i do n't know mean that -- do n't take that wrong .

[ monitor beeping ] todd : sucks to be you , heather . not just 'cause you 're lying here like a rutabaga , but because you 're missing all the fun . sam is about to find out jason was the father of the child . and the best part is , it ca n't be traced back to me . and the even bester part is , you ca n't do anything to stop me . [ knock on door ] sam : steve . what are you doing here ? monica : a.j . , is much too dangerous for you to stay here . if anyone should find out you 're alive -- michael : monica ? you in here ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : why you so hostile , commissioner ? coming into my house throwing around groundless accusations . anna : i know . it 's part of the job . although in this case , it feels almost like a perk . sonny : is it your job to badger innocent citizens ? anna : [ scoffs ] sonny : huh ? anna : you know what i admire most about you ? your ability to lie with a straight face . you must be really good at poker . sonny : actually , i 'm very good at poker . but i only play in my legitimate casino . anna : of course . sonny : so , about these unfounded accusations , i want to know who 's slandering me . [ scene_break ] jordan : ava 's got a target on her back , and she figured if she ended up in the hospital or the police station , she 'd be a sitting duck . anna : for whom ? jordan : sonny corinthos . if he finds her , he 's gon na execute her . [ scene_break ] sonny : i have a right to face my accuser . anna : actually , you do n't . and for all intents and purposes , i will keep this source confidential for now . sonny : so , this source that you claim you have , did they tell you why i want ava dead ? anna : julian jerome 's sister . sonny : uh - huh . anna : he 's your biggest rival , is n't he , for mob control in port charles . sonny : oh , i do n't know about mob control . i do n't know about rivals . i just know that she 's pregnant with my child and , you know , it 's my flesh and blood . anna : oh , god . you honestly expect me to believe that ? sonny : well ... anna : the whole town knows you ca n't stand her . and for all you know , your son could have fathered that baby . i mean , that 's gon na make thanksgiving awkward . sonny : [ laughs ] we 'll manage . anna : you know , this is purely out of my own curiosity , but have you ever assembled all your children and their various mothers in one place at one time ? sonny : does this have any bearing on the investigation ? anna : well , yeah . you pride yourself on being such a good father and treating your children 's respective mothers with honor . and somehow i just do n't think that 's gon na apply to ava . i mean , she 's fine right now . you 're gon na let her live as long as she 's pregnant . but if i let you have your way , you 'll kill her as soon as the umbilical cord is cut . [ scene_break ] ava : we know that sonny wants me dead . we know the moment this baby is born , he 's planning to kill me . silas : he has to find you first . ava : if morgan 's right about seeing a car out there , maybe he already has found me . silas : then why have n't we come under a full - blown assault ? ava : okay , so ... then you do n't think it 's sonny ? silas : i do n't know what to think . i got to hand it to you , kid . you got no shortage of enemies . [ scene_break ] madeline : darling , you 're right . silas and ava have behaved very badly , but killing them is going too far . nina : too far ? they 're screwing , mother . what would you do ? i mean , what would you have done if you found out that daddy was cheating on you ? madeline : let 's leave your father out of this . look , i think there 's a very logical explanation why silas was there last night . ava 's pregnant . nina : no kidding . madeline : she was having cramps . she was given a drug that was going to induce early labor . i 'm sure that silas was just there to ensure the health of the baby . nina : [ sighs ] all right . oh , mommy . right . oh , my goodness . you 're right . you 're right . how silly of me . i should have known that . [ sighs ] i ca n't go over there and commit murder . i ca n't do that . it 's unlike me . no . um ... i have to keep my eye on the prize -- that baby . and ... i know exactly how i 'm gon na get it . [ scene_break ] morgan : there 's no way we can leave you now , not if my dad or nina or whoever knows that you 're staying here . kiki : but if we do n't go , then carly and franco will start to wonder , and it could end up drawing attention back here . morgan : so ? so i 'll call my mom , i 'll tell her i regained my sanity , and i ca n't show up if she 's marrying that freak . silas : that would explain your absence but not kiki 's . ava : silas is right , honey . you should go . kiki : no , mom , i do n't want to leave you . ava : oh , sweetheart . that means so much to me , but i 'll be fine . look , morgan and silas are here . they can handle anybody who comes through that door , believe me . kiki : i do n't feel comfortable . i 'm not leaving you . ava : kiki , you should go . you told franco you 'd be there , right ? you 're his only friend . if you do n't show up , we both know how franco gets when he does n't get his way . [ scene_break ] franco : how do you know it was n't heather who hit you ? beach : i 'm positive . i left her in the visiting room , and i was on my way back when it happened . franco : maybe it was one of the other inmates . beach : no , they 're all accounted for . she had to have help from the outside . franco : well , okay . so they must have left a clue , right ? some kind of -- some kind of a trail . what about the -- the -- the visitors log ? beach : i already checked . whoever helped heather left no trace . they knew what they were doing . franco : who the hell else would want to take heather ? [ scene_break ] shawn : jordan , come on . you 're better than this , all right ? chasing after me in this way when i already told you -- jordan : oh , please . check your ego . i 'm here because of tj . shawn : yeah . jordan : yeah , he told me that he knew that we were together . i thought that we had an understanding not to involve him . shawn : look , what does it matter ? we 're through . jordan : okay , what matters is his misconception of what 's going on and you not doing anything to set him straight . shawn : and what misconception is that ? jordan : that i 'm the reason that we 're not together ? that you ca n't abide by my drug - dealing self ? come on . shawn : yeah , i 'm , uh , i 'm still waiting on the misconception . jordan : damn it . you know what , shawn ? this is n't fair . tj is my son . you ca n't even do anything to help me out ? shawn : you want to fix things with tj , stop dealing . jordan : i am sick and tired of having this conversation . i 'm sick and tired of being branded the bad guy when i 'm anything but ! shawn , what about you ? we both know that you do n't deserve tj 's hero worship . you 've done far worse than me . or have you forgotten what you did to tj 's father ? shawn : not a day goes by i do n't think about tj 's father , and i sure as hell do n't need you to remind me . jordan : i bet you think you 're in the clear , do n't you ? i bet you think if i put enough time and distance between what i did and -- and what happened that you know what ? it does n't even matter . but you know what ? i 'll bet you tj would disagree . i 've kept you off the hook for a very long time , and i can always put you back on . shawn : you know , you 've been dangling that over my head ever since you hit town . go ahead . knock yourself out , lady . huh ? go ahead . drop your big , bad secret . as a matter of fact , why do n't i do it for you ? jordan : excuse me ? shawn : you 're so eager to , you know , let the truth come out . maybe you 're right . tj 's a grown man , you know . maybe he deserves to know what happened , everything , you know , have a chance to make his own judgment about what really went down and exactly who is to blame . [ scene_break ] franco : now 's not a good time for me to go looking for heather . beach : you have to . we ca n't let her wander about . she 's insane . franco : yeah , well , maybe you should have thought of that before you let her escape . beach : me ? franco : yeah , you . beach : i was attacked ! franco : look , i have a wedding to get ready for . i ca n't ... [ sighs ] you go back to ferncliff , okay , and you make sure that nobody knows that she 's gone . beach : it 's already handled . i have her scheduled for one - on - one therapy with me . franco : great . beach : but there 's a limit , mr. franco . i can only keep up this ruse for so long before someone suspects . you have to locate her , finish your business , and get her back to ferncliff before security discovers she 's gone and traces her disappearance to me . franco : that is not gon na happen , okay ? heather is vital to my plans . and [ scoffs ] look , without heather , everything i 've got set for carly just goes up in smoke . [ scene_break ] michael : mom , is there anything else you remember from the night aj died that may point to ava ? sonny : how 's michael ? carly : how do you think ? aj died . but not before he woke up long enough to tell me that you 're the one who shot him . carly : i - i just remember aj saying how much he loved you , and then it was over . michael : yeah , you -- you told me that before . i was just hoping there was something , anything , that could help me make sense of all this . carly : i know how hard you tried to support aj , but , baby , there was nothing you could do to save him . michael : no , i could have -- i could have worked harder to keep him sober and tried to get through to him . carly : nobody can stop an alcoholic from drinking , okay ? he has to do it himself . michael , aj struggled with that disease long before you were born . nothing you did or did n't do made him drink , okay ? it was his choice . michael : yeah , but he was so alone . he -- he was so defeated . carly : i know . he was a troubled man , okay ? and we both know the history there , and we do n't have to go over it right now . but you just need to know that you were the best thing that ever happened to aj , and he was so proud of you . we all are , you know ? you are a good , kind , strong , decent man . you truly are . michael : you always make me out to be better than i actually am . carly : no . nobody better . nobody better than you . i used to always say that jason , sonny , and i , we poured everything that was good in us into you , you know , so , i do n't know , so the bad things we did were n't so bad . you kind of balanced the scale for us . michael : if you 're saying i got the best of you , dad , and jason , i 'd say i 'm -- i 'd say i 'm pretty lucky . carly : no , i 'd say we 're the lucky ones . and look , you 're gon na be in my wedding .

[ scene_break ] madeline : what is that , nina ? nina : this is oxytocin . oh . it puts pregnant women into labor . it works a lot faster and is a lot stronger than those other drugs . but i 'm preaching to the choir , are n't i , mommy ? you know all about that . liquid drugs as opposed to tablets . you figure that out when you injected me with liquid anti - depressants and killed my baby . madeline : nina , there 's no point in bringing up -- nina : but i 'm going to inject this into ava . and it will put her right into labor . she 'll deliver that beautiful baby ... into my loving arms . [ scene_break ] jordan : you would n't tell tj . shawn : [ chuckles ] oh , you 're not so big about the truth coming out now , are you ? what are you so afraid of , hmm ? that if it comes out , you 'll fall even lower in tj 's opinion than you already have ? that it cuts you off completely ? you have a very good reason to be afraid , because if tj learns what we know , you 're gon na go down in flames right along with me . [ scene_break ] kiki : i did n't mean to interrupt . do you have a minute ? franco : for you ? always . kiki : who was that ? franco : uh , just a guy . he 's helping me out with some last - minute details for the honeymoon . um , what 's going on ? you look great . you 're all dressed up . kiki : yeah . i 'm going to a wedding . and so are you , so why are n't you dressed up ? franco : i got a suit and some shoes . i just -- i got to hop in the shower and got to pull myself together . kiki : okay , well , i wo n't take up any more of your time . i just wanted to give you a little something . franco : you did n't have to do that . kiki : i wanted to . franco : oh . i really ... really do n't know what to say . kiki : well , the initial thing was a little tricky at first , given your lack of a last name , so i just got , um , `` f `` for franco and `` c `` for carly . franco : `` c `` for carly . i really do n't deserve this . kiki : yes , you do . you deserve it . you 've been a great friend to me . and i am so proud of you . you have proven this whole town wrong . you 're a good person , and carly is very lucky to have you . so do n't let your little paranoia get in the way of it , okay ? you guys are gon na have a bright future together . carly would not be marrying you unless she was fully committed and totally in love . i 'm pulling for you today . good luck .

[ scene_break ] sonny : so , are you gon na tell me you 're gon na -- you 're gon na reopen a case that you 've closed since you 've been running this department ? is n't that gon na tarnish your record ? anna : there i go again putting public interest ahead of my own . sonny : well , at least now we know why ava skipped town , 'cause she heard you were after her . anna : or you 're gunning for her . sonny : okay , can we just agree to disagree ? anna : oh , that 's not how this works . this is n't about us not seeing eye to eye . this is about my job , which is enforcing the law , and i wo n't hesitate to enforce it on you . sonny : okay , i do n't mean any disrespect here . anna : okay . sonny : but i 've heard that a lot , and i 'm sure i 'm gon na hear it a lot more . so , if there 's nothing else ... anna : just step lightly , mr. corinthos , or the next time i come back here , i will be carrying a warrant for your arrest . sonny : always a pleasure , commissioner . anna : right .

[ sighs ] jason : i wish it was n't so confusing for him . elizabeth : actually , i 've been kind of thinking about that lately , and i just want to preface this by saying there 's no pressure . okay , i mean , yeah , there 's seriously no pressure . but while aiden has lucky as his dad , the other boys ' fathers are gone , so i was thinking that maybe after we get married , you 'd think about adopting jake and cameron as your own ?

[ door closes ] a.j . : [ breathes deeply ] i - i ca n't believe that was michael ... my son . sonny : i do n't really care about your motives . all that matters to me is that you 're gon na help me get connie committed . did you get the papers from alexis ? trey : they 're back at my apartment . sonny : all you got to do is sign them and then get them back to her . trey : got that . i will . sonny : yeah . trey : under one condition . lulu : you do n't even have to tell me what it is . just say yes or no -- is connie blackmailing you ? okay , fine , just blink once for `` yes , `` twice for `` no . `` i can tell that you want to tell me . johnny : there 's nothing to tell . lulu : whatever it is , i want to help . you can trust me . i 'm not a cop . johnny : your husband is . lulu : but like i said , i 'm not . you can trust me . what does connie have on you ? connie : hey , johnny , why do n't you invest in some two - ply ? that toilet paper 's rough . lulu : charming , did you say ? trey : just tell me the truth . did you send jason to kill my father after what he did to kristina ? sonny : no . trey : and why should i believe you ? sonny : i swear to you , on my children 's lives , that i did not send jason or anyone else to harm your father . i wanted to , even before he tried to kill kristina . because of what he did to kate , i wanted him dead . but i had nothing to do with it . trey : so what stopped you ? sonny : your mother . even after what joe did to kate ... she demanded -- demanded -- that i spare his life . trey : we 'll be in touch . kristina : has trey said anything to you ... about helping kate ? starr : oh , i do n't know . trey thinks that sonny killed his dad , so ... kristina : he did n't . starr : yeah , maybe not , but trey does n't want to believe that the last thing his father told him was a lie . kristina : yeah , i know . i tried to comfort him , but ... i mean , given the fact that his father tried to kill me , i really ca n't get too broken up by the fact that he 's gone . maybe i 'm just not the right person to console trey right now . starr : yeah , i do n't blame you . kristina : but still , i mean ... i can totally understand loving your father even though he 's done unforgivable things . i mean , my dad has hurt so many people , including me . never on purpose , but ... i do n't know . sometimes , you know , it 's just impulsive . he gets angry , and then he just reacts . then other times , it ... it 's deliberate . part of his business and ... those are the times that scare me the most . starr : looks like we have more in common than just spicy food . heather : why would i tell the police that you had nothing to do with switching those babies ? what 's in it for me ? todd : nothing . there 's no quid pro quo here . i 'll give you back your book . you can read it in prison -- federal prison . heather : why would you assume that ? you got off . i can get off . who 's your lawyer ? todd : tea delgado . heather : yes , i 'm so sure she still represents you since you were implicated in this baby s -- todd : okay , you 're right . todd : tea delgado . heather : yes , i 'm so sure she still represents you since you were implicated in this baby s -- todd : okay , you 're right . i had to hire another attorney . heather : what 's her name ? todd : diane miller . she 's the woman i fired so that i could give you a job . she does not like you . heather : so ? you gave me her job . she still represented you . todd : yeah , because i 'm loaded . i gave her a bunch of money . heather : well , why do n't you gather some more piles of your money and buy me a good attorney ? and once i 'm acquitted , i will go to the police , and i will tell them that you did not swap those babies . todd : once again , for the thinking - impaired , there is no getting you out of this . heather : i could plead insanity . everybody 's so ready to believe that . todd : well , of course , you did take an infant and leap off of a building . i think the best - case scenario for you does involve padded cells and buckled sleeves and electrodes . heather : i 'm not going back to ferncliff . todd : or the federal pen for the rest of your life . [ door opens ] heather : steven lars . steve : you 're awake . heather : is n't it amazing ? i 'm so glad you 're here . i need to tell you something very important . i know who switched those babies . sam : look at this , danny . look -- right there .

heather : where is he -- my baby ? i want to see him . steve : i 'll check . doctor , can i speak with you for a second ? todd : uh , yes , but as one doctor to another , i have to -- steve : what are you and my mother trying to pull this time ? johnny : relax ! lulu and i are planning a party , and you 're getting in the way . connie : you lying to me ? johnny : yeah . yeah , i 'm lying to you . this -- this whole thing is a smokescreen -- this whole party ! -- so lulu and i can get rid of you ! you paranoid much ? connie : yeah , i 'm paranoid much , johnny . sonny 's recruiting this little crack kid to throw me in the psycho ward , okay ? so he can get his stupid little kate back . johnny : did it ever occur to you why everybody hates you so damn much ? huh ? connie : why do n't you tell me ? johnny : all you got to do is be a little bit nicer than kate is -- just a little bit -- which , let 's be honest , it ca n't be too difficult because , on her best day , kate has got the warmth and personality of a potted plant in an ice machine ! connie : hey , no argument here . johnny : but instead of capitalizing on that , instead of using kate 's flaws to make yourself look better , well , you flat - out threaten , blackmail , and piss off everybody you meet ! it 's no wonder everybody wants you locked up . connie : hey , speaking of that , we have to get rid of this kid . johnny : what do you mean `` get rid of `` ?

trey : well , not unless committing connie is crazy . sonny : there 's nothing wrong with a.j . , okay ? i mean , he was smart , he was athletic -- he could have been and done anything he wanted to do . the flaw ... was in his character , not his dna . it has nothing to do with you . you have shown more courage and strength than a.j . ever did his whole life . michael : no , i get it . i get it . i just -- i did n't want to say anything bad about him to monica after i upset her earlier . sonny : it 's her son . she 's gon na make excuses . i mean , that 's normal , right ? michael : the thing is , i -- i barely even knew the guy , and what i do remember was pretty bad . sonny : that 's accurate . michael : i -- i -- i think about him sometimes , i mean , i wonder if things would have been different if he was n't killed . would we even have a relationship ?

what about me ? i 'm the one who faked your death , who got you out of the country , who funneled money to you for years . i could be arrested for aiding and abetting . a.j . : mom , i would never let that happen . i can protect you . i tell everybody that i made all the arrangements . monica : it does n't make any difference . it has n't changed , a.j . you have to leave . a.j . : no ! no , i 'm not leaving you again , and i 'm not leaving my son . i want my life back , and i want my family back . monica : well , if you do find michael , you 're going to be very disappointed because he 's devoted to jason . a.j . : mom , jason is gone . i 'm still here , okay ? michael is gon na get to know me . and i 'm gon na have the relationship with him that i 've always been meant to have . monica : even if that relationship is through prison bars ? sam : [ chuckles ] i think this may be the happiest moment of my entire life . jason : mine too . sam : just having you here , knowing that danny is yours , this is everything i ever wanted . when i think about everything that we went through because we thought that franco was the father , all because heather needed to get back at me for not delivering a stupid letter ... jason : hey , hey , come here , come here . sam : [ breathes deeply ] jason : i want you to forget about heather , okay ? sam : okay . jason : because right now , all that matters is you ... and me ... and this little guy right here . todd : i walked by , i heard a noise , i went inside , and your mother was -- she said she was susan . steve : susan moore . todd : yeah , that 's who she said she was when tea hired her . hey , look -- maybe your mom actually thinks she is this susan person . i hate to tell you , dr. webber , but your mom might have snapped . steve : you think so ? todd : how 'd it go with sam ? you give her the dna test ? steve : yeah , i did . and now she knows the truth , and she knows that jason 's the father of the baby and not franco , and i 'm hoping that maybe that 'll give her some peace . todd : yeah , me too . she 's suffered enough . steve : no thanks to you . todd : me ? what did i do ? i gave her a job . steve : you know what ? do n't think you 're off the hook . because we all know either you helped my mother switch the babies or she helped you . todd : i just wish your mother were lucid so she could exonerate me . steve : my mother 's very clever . and this whole susan bit ? the psychiatric team will evaluate her thoroughly , and we 'll see if she 's snapped . jason : sounds like he wants his mom . sam : oh , i think he just wants his binky . do n't you ? mommy and daddy are still trying to figure out how to take care of you . jason , can you hand me his ... jason ? todd : hey . you got a sec ? heather : not now . i 'm trying to concentrate . there 's a breakthrough moment coming . i can just feel it . todd : okay . i just ... i wanted to say thank you , susan . heather : thank you , doctor . todd : all right . i 'll see you around . heather : a word to the wise , mr. manning . you better keep me happy , or you and the police will be hearing from heather webber very soon . sam : jason ?

'cause we got to figure out what we 're gon na do about that kid trey , 'cause if he signs those commitment papers , we 're screwed . starr : thank you , trey . you 're doing the right thing . trey : we 'll see . sonny : got some good news . michael : good . i can really use some . sonny : trey showed up , and he changed his mind about committing kate . michael : how did that happen ? sonny : i 'll get you some pizza . we 'll talk about it . michael : that sounds good . a.j . : with enough time and the right influence , you know that we could clear my name . monica : how ? a.j . : i do n't know , but you know what i do know ? i 'm a.j . quartermaine . this is my home , my family , and that is my son ! and i will do whatever i have to do -- whatever -- to get back everything that i 've lost .
starr opens the package containing the master copy of the cd she and johnny made . she tears up the picture of them that is enclosed . kristina stops by to see trey . starr tells her that trey is n't there , but invites her to stay and have a meal with her . she sees the torn picture . star says she does n't want to have anything to do with johnny now that he is married to connie . kristina tells her that johnny is n't a bad person ; he is just severely damaged and makes stupid choices . lulu hears connie tells johnny that if she goes down , he is going down too . she asks them which one is in danger of arrested . connie tries to sweet talk lulu by saying they are family because lulu is married to her cousin 's son . lulu says they are nothing to each other . lulu ignores connie 's presence and starts talking to johnny about the halloween party arrangements . when connie leaves , lulu tells johnny that he did n't marry connie for money because he has more than she does , and he did n't marry her for the sex because he recoils when she even looks at him so she wonders why he would marry a symptom of mental illness unless she has something over him . she tells him that whatever it is , she wants to help him . when connie returns and lulu leaves , connie tells johnny that it is n't smart to conspire with his partner to get rid of her . he tells her that she is paranoid if she thinks that the big halloween bash is all a smokescreen to cover up their plan to get rid of her . he says it 's no wonder that everyone wants her to disappear . he asks him to get rid of trey . he ca n't believe she is asking him to kill her own son . she says they need to think of something because they are both screwed if he signs the commitment papers . trey tells sonny that he is willing to commit connie after having an unpleasant visit from her . sonny says he knows how difficult it is for trey to do anything for him . trey says he is n't doing it for sonny ; he is doing it for starr . trey ask sonny to tell the truth about whether he sent jason to kill joe jr. sonny says that as much as he wanted joe dead , he had nothing to do with it because kate demanded that he spare joe 's life , even after what he did to her . kristina asks her if trey has said anything about helping kate . starr says trey does n't want to help kate because he thinks sonny killed his father . kristina says sonny did n't do it . she and starr bond over having fathers that hurt people . trey goes home and finds kristina and starr getting along . he tells kristina that he just came from talking to her father about committing connie . starr is grateful when he signs the papers .

[ sighs ] look , you know , i 've been meaning to have a little chat with you . i know the grownups around you have been acting kind of weird lately , maybe even fighting a little bit . what do you see ? [ airplane passes ] dante : you see a plane ? yeah . anyway , i wanted you to know that it might get a little uglier . okay ? but i do n't want you to worry , because it 's just 'cause everyone loves you so much . all right ? olivia : hey . oh , hi , baby . and you . look at you . she gets more gorgeous every time i see her . dante : i know . olivia : [ chuckles ] dante : so what did you , uh -- what did you want to see me about ? olivia : it 's about your father . sonny : [ sighs ] shawn : i arranged for our next shipment to come early . we should have all of our inventory replaced within a few days . sonny . sonny : yeah ? shawn : is that what i think it is ? did lazaro come through with the intel ? sonny : we got proof . julian jerome is alive and well . and goes by the name of derek wells . ava : i 'm still not sure this is a good idea . derek : well , do you have a better one ? because from where i sit , we do n't have much of a choice now that your , uh , boy toy knows everything about us . ava : he is n't -- enough with the `` boy toy `` ! okay ? i just do n't like the idea of morgan getting mixed up in all of this . derek : well , to be honest with you , he 's the same age i was when i got pulled into this life . ava : and look how well that turned out . derek : look , morgan wants to help us strike down his father . now the kid has to prove it . the only way to do that is to hit corinthos where he lives . michael : morgan , hey . what are you doing here ? ellie : we should probably get this back in the freezer . maxie can have a celebratory sundae when she gets back with the baby . spinelli : oh , the baby . ellie : i see all is in readiness . i 'm assuming maxie went to get your daughter . spinelli : i 'm afraid not . the court order was denied . ellie : what ? why was it denied ? spinelli : [ sighs ] dante and lulu have decided to sue maxie and myself for custody of connie . ellie : i am so sorry , damian . spinelli : thanks . i appreciate your sympathy . ellie : you do realize this custody suit can only have one resolution , right ? i mean , while dante and lulu are wonderful parents who love your daughter , they 're not her biological parents . court ca n't really rule in their favor . spinelli : they might if they determine maxie to be an unfit mother . maxie : do you get how insane this is ? you are suing spinelli and me for custody of our own baby . lulu : you did n't leave us much choice , maxie . maxie : i did n't ? lulu : dante and i love our daughter , and you 're trying to take her from us . maxie : she is not your daughter . lulu : yes , she is . she is as much my daughter as if i 'd given birth to her . and now i 'm being told that i might lose her ? how do you think i felt when spinelli told me that you were getting a court order ? i was devastated . i even talked to dante about going on the run with her . maxie : you did ? lulu : but i did n't do it . i chose to do the right thing , to stay here and fight for my daughter . maxie : lulu , i actually understand how you 're feeling . because i feel that way right now , too . but it is not fair for you to try to take my baby away from me . lulu : you can go on and on about how this is not fair . but the only person who is responsible for any of this is you . olivia : yes . come here , you beautiful baby . oh . dante : so what do you want to talk to me about sonny ? what 's going on ? is it serious ? olivia : it 's true ? julian jerome is not dead after all . sonny : [ sighs ] yes . julian jerome is very much alive . olivia : oh , my god . julian jerome is derek wells ? sonny : julian jerome got a whole new life . now he 's derek wells , media mogul , courtesy of wsb . olivia : you could say that . i 'm just worried about what 's gon na happen to him . dante : worried ? why ? what , is he off his meds or something ? olivia : no , no , no . nothing like that . he 's right back on schedule . carly and i are on him like a hawk . he 's not gon na slip . it 's something else . um ... it 's about the men that are going after your father 's business . derek : thought you could use this . nothing calms the nerves like bourbon . to the jeromes . before tonight is over , the next phase in our strike against corinthos will be in play . yeah . ava : [ coughs ] derek : i 'll , um ... go pour myself another . ava : you better be right about this . derek : i am . you 'd be able to see that if you did n't let your feelings for this kid blind you . [ knocking on door ] carly : where is he ? ava : carly . what are you doing here ? carly : where the hell is he ? ava : well , i 'm very sorry , but this is not a good time . i need to ask you to leave . carly : gladly . and i 'll be taking my son with me . where 's morgan ? michael : look , if you came here for a fight , you 're out of luck , okay . i 'm not cooperating . morgan : do n't worry about it , mikey . i 'm not here to see you . i came to see dad . michael : dad 's not here . morgan : oh , then i guess i 'll wait . shawn : all this time , julian jerome was in witness protection . sonny : he must have had information that the wsb wanted . who 's to say , you know , who he ratted out ? now he 's back . he 's flipped . and he wants to take back the territory that he lost 20 years ago . shawn : yeah , well , only one problem . we 're in his way . sonny : tell you what . i ai n't moving . shawn : okay , so now that we know julian jerome is derek wells , what are we gon na do about it ? ava : this is my home . i 'm not in the mood for guests . i must insist that you leave . carly : i 'm not going anywhere without my son . ava : morgan is not here . carly : then where is he ? derek : what is going on out here ? carly : derek ? sonny : so , olivia thought it 'd be best if i sit down and talk with derek and then , you know , just tell him that i 'm onto him and , you know , work things out . shawn : you think julian jerome will be open to negotiation ? sonny : i doubt it , but if i make an overture , it gives him a chance to , you know , recharge , reorganize . the jeromes , this family , it 's like they 're so sloppy . you know what i mean ? especially when they 're unnerved . shawn : what are you doing ? sonny : uh , just unnerving the bastard . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : [ laughs ] derek : uh , carly . what a , uh , nice surprise . you look absolutely radiant . carly : do n't flirt with me . what are you doing here with her ? ava : i do have a name . carly : i have a lot of names for you . derek : okay , let 's try to keep this civil , ladies . i have been absolutely up front with you about my dealings with ms . jerome . i 'm simply buying some art from her . carly : right , right . so where is all this art ? because the last time i checked , your office looks the same way it did when connie left it . [ cell phone rings ] derek : would you -- excuse me ? i have to -- i have to take this . derek wells . sonny : hi , mr. wells . sonny corinthos . uh , i think it 's time you and i had a little chat . dante : what are you saying , ma ? what do you know about who 's going after sonny ? olivia : um , well , you know , this is n't normally the kind of thing that i would -- what ? what ? what ? what , baby ? what 's the matter ? what 's the matter ? dante : nothing , nothing . olivia : no , it 's got to be something . she was happy as a clam just a minute ago . dante : it 's okay . it 's not you . olivia : what ? dante : she 's just -- i do n't know . today she just acted like this . i think she senses all the tension . olivia : what tension ? dante : maxie and spinelli tried to get a court order to take connie away from us . olivia : my god . dante : it 's okay . they did n't get it . but now they 're going to court , which means lulu and i have to go to court , too , so we filed papers today . olivia : honey ... so ... so there 's gon na be a custody fight ? dante : yeah . olivia : [ sighs ] honey , you know , that i love this little baby like nobody 's business , but is this a fight you think you can win ? dante : not unless we fight dirty . ellie : so dante and lulu are actually claiming that you and maxie are unfit parents ? spinelli : i think they 're focusing their allegation on maxie . ellie : well , no wonder she 's upset . spinelli : i do n't believe `` upset `` begins to describe her state of mind . she 's in no shape to make any sort of rational argument , and yet i fear she 's gone to confront dante and lulu . ellie : which will only make things worse . spinelli : right . so i need to get to dante and lulu 's posthaste . ellie : damian , wait . spinelli : no , forgive my abrupt exit , ellie , but i really need to go . ellie : no , you ca n't do that . maxie : where is she ? lulu : ca n't just come in here and take connie . maxie : where is connie ? i want to see my daughter . lulu : thankfully connie is with dante right now . the last thing i want is you anywhere near her . maxie : lulu , this is insane . we -- we both know how this is gon na turn out , okay ? no judge is gon na grant you custody of a baby that is not yours . it is an open - and - shut case . lulu : really ? really ? if it 's so open - and - shut , then why is n't connie with you and spinelli right now ? spinelli : ellie , maxie is in no shape to deliver a lucid argument , let alone deal with the emotions that are bound to arise from a confrontation with lulu . ellie : you 're right . i 'm sure maxie is in a highly emotional state right now . one in which she should not be attempting any kind of peace brokering . spinelli : okay , so why are you hindering my exit ? ellie : because i really think now would be a good time to start divorcing yourself from maxie 's actions ... to prove to the court that you are capable of responsible and rational behavior and that you are a viable parent . spinelli : you 're right . ellie : yeah , occasionally i have a moment of clarity . spinelli : i 'd say more than occasionally . um ... but i 'm very appreciative for this one . [ sighs ] look , ellie , i should n't be dragging you into all this . ellie : yes , you should . i mean , all of this , everything that has to do with this baby -- it 's my fault . maxie : okay , i think we both just need to calm down for a minute . lulu : i am calm . maxie : then think about what you 're saying . because you sound certifiable . lulu : obviously the judge disagrees . not only does he think that dante and i have a case , but that we would provide a better temporary home , and it 's the judge 's job to decide what 's best for connie . maxie : right . he -- he picked you because i 'm so unfit . lulu : you said it . maxie : how can i be an unfit mother if i 've never been a mother before ? lulu : exactly . you have n't been . but i have . i am the one that spent the last year reading all of those baby books and buying all of the baby gear and baby- proofing this entire apartment and changing diapers and -- and giving baths . and i 'm the one that 's up doing all of the midnight feedings . maxie : i 'm going to do all of that , lulu . i 've already started catching up . i 'm doing everything i 'm supposed to be doing to get ready for this baby . just because i 'm not as experienced as you are does not mean i ca n't take care of this child . lulu : really ? just like the baby that you killed on new year 's eve ? dante : i 've never seen lulu like this before . i mean , she 's going for the jugular , doing everything she can to make sure maxie is not capable of raising our child . olivia : but is n't that what you want , though , to keep connie ? dante : of course it is . it 's not like i want to let maxie off the hook for what she did to us . it 's just ... olivia : what ? dante : like i said . she will do anything to keep connie . [ connie coos ] dante : even if it means destroying maxie 's life . olivia : and you 're not comfortable with that . dante : i do n't know . would you be ? i mean , the only way for us to keep connie is to basically ruin maxie 's life . okay , those actions resonate . i do n't care how justified you think you are in your actions . doing something like that , it stays with you . yeah . i 'm worried about how this case will affect maxie , but i 'm more worried about how it 's gon na affect my wife . maxie : i ca n't believe you just went there . lulu : believe it . maxie : throwing that miscarriage in my face . lulu , do you have any idea how hard that was for me ? lulu : no . i do n't . because you never bothered to tell me about it . maxie : i wanted to . lulu : i can imagine how you felt , though . it 's how i 've been feeling ever since i found out what happened . i did n't get to mourn my baby when he or she died , but i am grieving now . maxie : and i wish that had never happened . but it was an accident . lulu , i 'm sorry that i lost your baby . but that does not mean you can take mine away from me . spinelli : i - i do n't think everything with this baby is your fault . in fact , i 'd say there 's more than enough blame to go around . ellie : i know there were a lot of vectors that led us to this point . but if i had n't listened to maxie or let my insecurities get the best of me , this whole custody issue would have been avoided . i mean , we would n't even be having this conversation right now because you 'd be busy ... raising your daughter . spinelli : i - i do n't know what you want me to say . ellie : nothing . i just want to say this . damian , if i could go back and change things , if i could go back and tell you the truth from the very second that i found out maxie was carrying your child and tell you the truth , i would . i know that -- i know that does n't mean anything to you right now . spinelli : you 're wrong . it does . derek : mr. corinthos . sonny : mr. wells . you 're gon na have to excuse shawn . see , in my line of work , you 've got to protect yourself . we 've had a few incidents here , as you can see , you know . oh , what 's that about ? derek : well , you 'll have to excuse me , but , uh , when i meet with somebody of your reputation , i have to , uh , protect myself . no offense . sonny : oh , none taken . derek : so , um ... what can i do for you ? sonny : for me ? derek : yeah . i did just drop everything to come meet one of the big titans of the city . so i just -- i assumed you wanted something . sonny : uh , some new enemies , they came into town , they blew up my shipment , and they tore up this place . derek : yeah , yeah . i heard . it 's very unfortunate . but , uh ... what does that have to do with me ? sonny : from where i stand , a hell of a lot . carly : derek sure left in a hurry , huh ? it 's almost like he did n't want me to see you two together . you 're everyone 's dirty little secret , are n't you ? ava : derek had business , so he needed to leave . and now , sadly , so must you . carly : i do n't think so . ava : you 're a child . you know that . carly : morgan is a child . and i 'm not leaving here without my son . michael : morgan , get your feet off dad 's desk . come on . morgan : oh , touchy , touchy . michael : you know he does n't like when people are in his office when he 's not here . morgan : what are you , his enforcer now ? michael : no , i respect our father . morgan : actually , that would make sense , because you praised jason , but correct me if i 'm wrong -- did n't shawn take that spot ? michael : you 're only gon na make things worse between you and dad . you know that . morgan : and since when do you care about my relationship with dad ? michael : always . your whole life . look , he loves you . morgan : except he just loves you even more . michael : no , dad loves the same , okay , and i know you love him , too . that 's what you were coming to the warehouse to tell him . i am sorry i got in your way . morgan : you want to start apologizing , mikey ? okay , why do n't you start apologizing for -- for stealing my wife , first of all . and then you can apologize for always coming first with mom , with dad , with everyone , and then you can apologize for stealing everything that should have been mine . michael : this is pointless . you got to leave . morgan : oh , now i ca n't even stand in my dad 's office . michael : you know the rules . no one 's allowed in here . morgan : oh , except you ! michael : morgan , get out of here , or i 'm gon na throw you out . morgan : [ chuckles ] okay , mikey . then start throwing . ava : for someone who claims to love morgan , you do n't know the first thing about him . do you actually think dragging him out against his will is going to endear you to him ? carly : i 'm not trying to endear myself to him . i 'm trying to take care of my son . ava : morgan is exactly where he wants to be . carly : right . here with you . ava : two consenting adults having fun . carly : okay , i do n't care what the law says . i 'm morgan 's mother . and we 'll see how adult he really is when he finds out you 've been sleeping with derek wells . derek : i 'm not sure i follow , mr. corinthos . sonny : call me `` sonny . `` derek : sonny , okay . uh , i 'm still not sure how i have anything to do with the recent attacks against you . sonny : you are profiting , are n't you ? with your newspaper . derek : my paper ? sonny : yeah , you seem to think that , you know , my difficulties are worthy of the front page . and everything that you 've printed , you 've never come to me for a quote to hear my side of the story . i 'm not an expert , but is n't that the first rule of journalism ? derek : i own the paper . sonny : yeah . derek : i hire writers to write the stories . i 'm sure they 'd love an exclusive with you . i 'd be happy to set up an appointment so that you can sit down with one of my writers . sonny : no , no , no , no . we 're gon na do this right now . derek : okay . sonny : okay . derek : i do n't have a notebook . you mind if i record this ? sonny : uh , no . you do what you got to do . derek : good , good , good . so , mr. corinthos , sonny , what would you like to talk about ? sonny : well , the first thing is , uh ... i 've never once seen in those articles anything about the people who have hit me . derek : well , that is true . that information has been hard to come by . sonny : well , how 'bout if i could fill in the blanks ? i mean , that would sell a lot of newspapers , right ? derek : yeah , i 'm listening . sonny : i can give you the name -- of the person who ordered the hit . his name is -- you ready ? julian jerome . morgan : forget it , mikey . you 're not worth it . michael : look , if you want to wait in the restaurant -- morgan : you know , on second thought , i do n't need to see dad . i just came to give him something . this is grandpa mike 's . dad gave it to me for my wedding . i guess i do n't need to tell you how that turned out . michael : morgan -- morgan : i 'm returning it . michael : i think dad would want you to keep it . morgan : well , i do n't want it . but , hey , cheer up , mikey . maybe dad will give it to you when you get married to kiki . michael : [ sighs ] ava : ah . me sleeping with derek . that 's absurd . carly : you do n't think i bought the whole art story , do you ? i mean , i saw the way that you two looked at each other . not to mention his body language , the way he strolled in here with a drink in his hand . there 's something going on between the two of you . ava : whatever is going on between derek and me , morgan is more than aware , and he 's perfectly fine with it . carly : you know , you 're disgusting . ava : carly , i never figured you for a prude . the point is morgan knows where he stands . so the only person who has a problem with derek and me is you . so tell me , is this really about morgan , or are you just jealous ? carly : [ chuckles ] oh , i do n't know what you 're talking about . ava : oh , do n't be coy . derek told me that the two of you are seeing each other . what 's the matter ? you afraid i stole both your son and your boyfriend ? sonny : julian jerome was a mobster who used to run this town with a family . derek : really ? sonny : before my time . but , um , from what i 've been told , his father was the brains of the operation . julian was just like a -- like a wannabe who was gon na set himself up when his father croaked . and then his father ended up dying . he choked -- he choked on something . what did he choke on , shawn ? shawn : i believe it was a , um -- a necklace . sonny : a necklace . there 's nothing more embarrassing than choking on a necklace . [ both laugh ] sonny : but anyway , you know , julian , you know , he did n't build anything himself . he inherited everything from his daddy , right ? derek : you know , now that you mention it . this story does sound familiar . but the way i heard it -- julian jerome is dead , just like the rest of his family . sonny : well , see , that 's -- that 's , uh , that 's what i thought , but since his name keeps popping up , i 'm gon na have to , you know , take care of the situation . derek : do what you got to do , right ? sonny : yeah , yeah . and what do you think ? i mean , like ... you know , a dead mobster returns to settle a score on his father . i mean , you print that -- you print that story , it 's gon na sell a lot of paper . derek : mm - hmm . sonny : yeah . unless , of course , there 's a reason why you would n't want to print it . dante : maxie was lulu 's best friend . olivia : yeah , but lulu 's a mother now . her daughter 's her first priority . dante : oh , i know . she keeps reminding me how she 'll do whatever it takes to take maxie down . olivia : but you do n't believe her ? dante : look , whatever happens , whoever gets custody of connie , maxie and lulu are n't gon na be friends anymore . but that does n't change the fact how important maxie was to lulu . she was like the sister she never had . and when you hurt someone like that , that you love that much , there 's a cost to yourself . and i know she wants to keep connie , but she 's so blinded by love that she does n't see that . olivia : so what are you saying ? you think this custody fight 's a bad idea ? maxie : i will never stop feeling guilty about what happened on new year 's eve , but that does n't change the fact that connie is my baby . and i do n't owe it to you to give her up . lulu : as if you even want her . maxie : excuse me ? lulu : can we please just stop pretending ? we both know the reason that you 're fighting for connie , and it 's not because you 're her mother . it 's because -- she 's this season 's hottest accessory . maxie : what are you talking about ? i love her . lulu : sure you do . just like you loved being vegan for a month . and those cartullo sandals -- you called in so many favors for those , and then you never wore them because they were too on trend . you want connie right now . what happens when you find a shiny new toy ? maxie : lulu , i get it . okay ? what i did was wrong . and maybe that makes you think that i am being careless now . but i 'm not . just because i lied about whose baby she was does not make me an unfit mother . lulu : well , maybe it does n't . but what about all of the other horrible things that you 've done ? spinelli : you wishing that you 'd handled things differently , that does mean something to me . because i know it 's true . [ sighs ] i know you , ellie . i know that you 're one of the kindest people i 've ever met . i know that you would never intentionally do something to hurt someone else . and i know that the terrible way this all played out is the last thing you ever wanted . you 're the same person that you always were , ellie . and that 's the person i fell in love with . ellie : wait . are you saying -- that you still love me ? spinelli : of course . of course , i still love you . do n't -- do n't you understand ? being mad at anyone , especially someone i know so well and see on a regular basis , does n't come easy to me . it 's -- frankly , it requires a lot of work . and it 's exhausting . and with everything else that 's going on , i 'm -- physically , mentally , all of it , just exhausted . so staying mad at someone i love -- i - i just wish i could let it go . ellie : you can . damian , you can let it go . and i promise -- no , no . i swear that i will never do anything to hurt you like this again . and you do n't have to worry about my fear clouding my judgment because i wo n't be afraid of anything . because i 'll know that if we can get through this -- that nothing -- nothing can break us . that is -- if you can just forgive me . maxie : come on , lulu . we all make mistakes . lulu : really ? maxie , do you think that everyone makes mistakes on the same level as you ? i doubt it . and , please , before you deny it , remember that i have had a front - row seat to every single dirty deed you have ever done . maxie : like what ? lulu : wh -- you want me to start listing them ? maxie : is that what this is gon na come down to ? you listing off every little thing i 've ever done wrong ? lulu : not all of the mistakes you 've made were little , maxie . a lot of these so - called mistakes -- they were huge and ugly and life - altering . maxie : and now you 're going to throw them in my face . lulu : if i have to . i am connie 's mother , and i will do anything to protect her from you . even if that means airing your dirty laundry in court . maxie : fine . i 've messed up . a lot . lulu : it 's good of you to admit it . maxie : but -- so have you , lulu . you say you know all of my dirty secrets . well , i know yours . i do n't want to have to do this either , but if this is what i have to do to fight for my daughter , i will . dante : hey . to tell you the truth , ma , i do n't know if a custody battle is the right thing to do or not . but what i do know is that i 'll protect connie with my life . because she is my daughter . right ? [ connie cries ] dante : okay , okay . i just -- i just wish there was a better way than having to go to war with maxie and spinelli . olivia : i am so sorry . dante : it 's okay . okay . look , there 's nothing to do but wait right now , anyway . so in the meantime , why do n't you tell me what you wanted to tell me ? who do you think is going after sonny ? derek : well , that is a fascinating story , sonny . but i can think of a few reasons why i ca n't print it . sonny : enlighten me . derek : well , for starters , i do n't have any corroboration -- only you and your word . sonny : not just me . one of julian 's enforcers named him . right , shawn ? derek : that 's interesting . so how do i contact him ? sonny : oh , unfortunately , he disappeared . derek : that 's a shame . i mean , uh , i just ca n't print the story without a second source . i mean , i do n't want to get sued . sonny : sued ? who -- who would sue you ? derek : julian jerome , of course . sonny : oh , yeah . derek : [ chuckles ] especially if the story turns out to be false . sonny : oh , well , if it 's false -- he 's a dead man . derek : well , you do have a valid point , but -- i - i just ca n't risk tarnishing my paper 's reputation over a story that could be , you know , just about unsubstantiated rumors . i 'm sure you understand my position . sonny : more than ever . carly : you can think what you want , but i 'm not jealous of anyone . [ keys jingling ] ava : ah , that must be morgan now , with his key . carly : great . we can find out exactly what he knows about you and derek wells . morgan : [ sighs ] mom ? carly : come on . we need to go right now . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa . hold up . no , i 'm not going . carly : this is not up for discussion . let 's go . morgan : dad could n't get me to leave . you really think you can ? carly : your father did n't tell you that she is sleeping with derek wells . morgan : [ scoffs ] carly : what ? what is so funny ? ava : [ chuckles ] i told you . morgan knows just where we all stand . and i think he 's told you what he wants from you , so . do i need to call security on you this time ? carly : wow . okay , fine . i 'll go . but one of these days , i will smack that smug look off your face . sonny : thank you , mr. wells , for everything . shawn , can you give the gentleman his weapon back ? derek : i 'm really sorry i could n't be of more assistance . sonny : hey , do n't even worry about it . you know why ? 'cause i 'm gon na try to figure out what 's going on with this julian jerome thing on my own . it 's probably best . because when i find -- [ chuckles ] when i find out who messed with me , i am gon na mess with them back . [ scene_break ] ellie : i 'm sorry . i do n't want to push you . but when you 're ready to talk , just let me know . in the meantime , i 'm -- i 'm gon na give you some space . spinelli : do n't go . i do n't need space from you . i do n't want space from you . i love you . ellie : i love you , too . lulu : if this is how you want to play it , then i 'll see you in court . maxie : bring it on . lulu : you bet i will . and get the hell out of my house . maxie : gladly . [ door slams ] ellie : i promise , damian -- we 're in this together . lulu : [ breathes deeply ] dante : ma , what is it ? ma , what do you know ? sonny : if i go to dante and tell him that derek wells is julian jerome , he 's gon na go after him . i do n't want to use my son to protect me . olivia : of course not . he 's got the whole police force behind him , sonny . maybe even the wsb gets involved and makes this jerome guy leave town . sonny : i do n't want to do that , though . 'cause he 's got enough going on with his baby . i do n't want dante to be in the middle of my bad business . olivia : i do n't know anything , really . i just wanted you to keep an eye out for your father . that 's all . dante : you 're sure ? olivia : yeah , yeah . i want you to be focusing on your family right now , okay ? you know your father . he can handle himself . sonny : hey , michael . michael : hey , dad . sonny : what 's going on ? michael : morgan was here . morgan : i probably , you know , should n't have enjoyed watching my mom squirm like that . ava : let 's not talk about your mom .

dante meets olivia on the docks . she says she wants to talk to him about the man who is going after sonny 's business , but they end up talking about the custody battle for connie . he says they will have to fight dirty to win and that he is n't comfortable with the lengths lulu is willing to go to keep connie . he is afraid lulu will suffer long - lasting effects from her actions . olivia decides not to burden dante further with sonny 's problems . maxie goes to dante and lulu 's loft to confront lulu about the lawsuit and take connie . she points out that she ca n't be an unfit mother , because she has n't been a mother before . lulu says maxie killed a baby on new year 's eve . maxie says she is sorry that she lost lulu 's baby , but that it was an accident , and it does n't mean lulu gets to take hers . lulu says maxie does n't want connie ; she is just the latest trend for maxie . maxie says she may have done things the wrong way , but it does n't make her an unfit mother . lulu says maxie has done enough other horrible things . maxie assures lulu she can also swing mud back at her . spinelli tells ellie about the lawsuit . ellie is confident that the court will award custody to the biological parents . ellie stops spinelli from going to find maxie . she says he has to prove that he is a rational person who would be a responsible parent . ellie blames herself for the whole situation , because she let maxie talk her out of telling spinelli the truth . he tells her that he knows she did n't want things to play out the way they did and that she is still the same person that he fell in love with .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know this sounds silly , but i ca n't wait to write my thank - you letters . and i still ca n't believe you guys threw me a shower . patrick : well , you have no idea what we had to promise obrecht to make that happen . it was worth it . elizabeth : oh . oh , no . patrick : it was tough . elizabeth : [ laughs ] okay , hand me that . i think i 've got everything . and i 'm out of here . patrick : oh , hold on . epiphany said there 's something else here for you . i think she said she -- yep . who do you know from vienna ? elizabeth : [ gasps ] oh ! my gram 's in vienna . patrick : oh , yeah ? elizabeth : she was supposed to be back last week , but she twisted her ankle , and because she 's prone to dvt , her doctor does n't want her flying until she 's walking . unfortunately , she 's not gon na be here for the wedding . look . audrey : dear elizabeth , i 'm so sorry i wo n't be able to attend your wedding . but please know that i am there in spirit . it 's been my good fortune to watch you bloom into a confident , spirited woman and mother , and soon , wife . you have waited a long time for the right man to win your heart , so long that perhaps you thought you were n't worthy of love at all . i hope now you will put any doubt to rest . you deserve the happiness you 've built with jake . it 's precious . nurture it , and i know you and jake will have an even longer and more joyful marriage than your grandfather and i had . love , gram . patrick : i take it she wished you well ? elizabeth : she predicts that i 'll have a long and joyful marriage , like she did with my grandfather . [ scene_break ] nathan : you 're gon na tell lulu about valerie ? dante : yeah . you know , the only reason why i did n't tell her is because i did n't feel like it was fair to clear my conscience at her expense . but i talked to my father , and i realized i ca n't keep lying to my wife . nathan : you gon na give valerie a heads - up at least , so she 's prepared ? dante : yeah . and i know this is gon na fall on her , and i do n't want that to happen , but lulu needs to hear the truth . i have to believe that we 're stronger than my mistake . nathan : well , for what it 's worth , i think you 're making the right choice . dante : it 's gon na hurt her . she 's gon na be furious , and i deserve it . but she 's got to hear the truth , and she 's got to hear it from me . [ scene_break ] valerie : dante was out of his mind with jealousy . he thought his marriage was over . when he realized how wrong he had been -- dillon : what were you thinking , recording a private conversation ? andy : i swear , i did n't mean to . i was charging the camera , and i guess i bumped the `` record `` button . dillon : delete it . now , right now , delete it . andy : this project is 50 % of my grade . if i fail this class , i 'll never get into grad school . please , dillon , give me another chance . dillon : you violated my privacy . do you realize how bad this is ? andy : i will edit out everything with you and valerie after the party . the rest of my footage is completely legit . please . i need this . dillon : fine . just make sure nobody ever sees this . if this ever got out , a lot of people i care about would be really hurt . andy : this will never be spoken of again , i swear . valerie : oh , i 'm sorry . i was just looking for a place to adjust my costume . dillon : no worries . the room is all yours . let 's go , andy .

most of port charles are in costume attending the fundraiser for dillon 's movie at the haunted star . kiki is ready to go but ava comes by the apartment to pay her a visit and urge her daughter , one more time , to reconsider her decision not to help her get custody of baby avery . kiki , once again tells her mother she washes her hands of her , believes the baby is better off without her and that she , herself , is better off with franco and nina as her parents than with ava . meanwhile , morgan seems to be moving on and over kiki while he happily interacts with darby . while attending the party , paul is hearing anna 's voice mail message on sloane 's phone , which he has been keeping in his possession after he murdered sloane . he goes to meet her on the docks knowing he will find her there . he gets to the point by telling her he knows she murdered carlos and he 's covering for her by cremating the body and by `` preventing `` sloane from getting anna charged with murder . she knows paul is up to no good and doing illegal business with the murder investigation , being aware that another individual besides carlos has been murdered and unaccounted for ( although she does not catch on that it 's sloane ) . yet she knows it 's not in her best interest to expose paul after finding out he 's enabled her to get away with murder . dillon finds out , for the first time , that his conversation with valerie , where she admitted she slept with dante has been `` accidentally `` recorded . he finds andy , the camera guy and tells him he better hand over the flash - drive because he has no business keeping it , as it could ruin people 's lives . yet does dillon really want to destroy the perfect evidence he needs for lulu to find out her husband cheated on her and lied , and so that dillon might be able to have lulu ? spinelli is almost ready to unravel the mystery of who jake really is when he has to return home for an emergency with his daughter . he goes to find carly and she 's ready to bring sam what spinelli needs in order to get the information about who jake really is before he 's already married elizabeth . right then , the computer program reveals something that might drastically change everybody 's life . at the haunted star , dillon has all the guests watch what he `` intends `` to be his screenplay movie . yet ( intended or unintended ) , they are all shocked to see and hear dillon 's and valerie 's conversation where she is about to reveal that she slept with dante .

[ scene_break ] sonny : excuse me . nadine : how can i help you , mr. corinthos ? sonny : just -- i need to ask a question . is anthony zacchara doing as well as he seems to be ? nadine : he is expected to make a full recovery , but you 'd have to talk to his doctor and his family for specifics . sonny : yeah , yeah , of course . that 's exactly what i 'm going to do . thank you . nadine : mm - hmm . man : mr. karpov wants a meeting . [ scene_break ] sam : hey , matt , hi . nadine said i should talk to you about the clinic fire . matt : i 'm recovering nicely , yes . thank you for asking . sam : oh , look , i 'm sorry . i 'm glad that you 're doing good . i was just -- is there anything that you remember at all before you passed out ? anything . matt : anything ? sam : anything . matt : there was someone who was standing by me , a man . sam : any detail please . matt : he was wearing a pair of distinctive - looking shoes . nadine mentioned it was something that jerry jax might wear . i do n't know . you know nadine .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : dr. lee is concerned with the position of the baby 's umbilical cord , so what we do now is try to reposition it . maxie : well , what if you ca n't ? then what happens ? anna : hey , maxie , shh . kelly : by pumping iv fluids into the uterine cavity , we can cushion the cord . that way when the contractions squeeze the cord , it will keep the baby 's blood supply steady . what you can do , patrick , is help robin change positions frequently so we can float the cord into a better position . [ scene_break ] nikolas : okay , thank you . lucky : okay , so scott is registered at the truman hotel in hollywood . i have a car waiting to take us there as soon as we land . nikolas : great , so now we just got to figure out how to get her away from him . lulu : i have a feeling that scott will do whatever mom wants . lucky : are you really buying into what mom wrote in that memory book ? lulu : all i 'm saying is that scott was not always a bad guy . lucky : you ca n't ignore what baldwin has become . nikolas : look , i -- i think she 's right . at one point i 'm sure they were very happy until luke blew up their relationship . lulu : look , lucky , the memory book stops when mom went to work for dad at the campus disco . it does n't say anything else , but you know that she was attracted to dad even though she was married to scott , and things blew up . that 's not scott 's fault . lucky : are you really taking his side ? nikolas : look , it 's -- lulu : i am just saying not everyone 's all good or all bad . it 's a little more complicated than that . lucky : whatever it was , it happened years ago . nikolas : maybe so , but it 's not over , okay ? it 's not over by a long shot . [ scene_break ] edward : yes , dear , i 'm sorry , but luke and tracy have been married for three years . is there anything you need , something that i could help you with ? laura : that 's very kind of you , edward . no , i 'm going to be just fine , thank you , and thank you for your honesty . good night . scott : laura , i 'm really , really sorry . laura : no , you 're not . you 're thrilled to death , are n't you ? now you have your proof that luke is n't worthy of me . scott : i do n't blame luke for marrying tracy . i blame him for letting you make a commitment to him when that wedding and those vows -- they were just a scam . laura : i want to go back to the hotel now . [ scene_break ] sam : jerry ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're making a mistake . karpov : the mistake was yours , and you repaid my generosity by trying to shoot me . sonny : if you 're going to shoot me and kill me , at least admit that you shot kate . after that , i do n't care what you do . [ scene_break ] [ robin groans ] kelly : i want an o.r . prepped and standing by . how long ? okay , notify me as soon as an o.r . comes available . thanks . they 're overbooked upstairs . i 'm going to go try and clear a room just in case we need to do c - section . i 'll be back , okay ? robin : okay . hey , guess what ? patrick : what ? robin : labor -- it really -- it really hurts . patrick : yeah ? robin : yeah , it -- you know , all the things that i thought could go wrong , a compromised umbilical cord was n't one of them , but i just have to tell myself everything 's okay , you 're here , our baby 's going to be okay . patrick : yeah , we 're going to be all right . we love each other , we love this baby , and we believe in our staff , okay ? robin : yeah . patrick : it 's going to be okay . robin : oh , oh , here comes another one . patrick : okay , just breathe . try and breathe . [ robin groans ] [ scene_break ] maxie : robin looked so beautiful , and everything was perfect , just like i promised her it would be . she did n't even get to throw her bouquet . spinelli : the jackal had intended to make a presentation after the wedding , but now seems as good a time as any . happy birthday . maxie : that 's so sweet . spinelli : while patrick and robin 's impending parenthood is cause for celebration , nothing should detract from the anniversary of maximista 's entry into this world . maxie : oh , it 's a journal . i 'm not really good at writing in these things , but -- spinelli , did you do all this yourself ? spinelli : the jackal was inspired by fair maximista to trace the echo of beauty throughout the history of art and man . maxie : inspired by me ? spinelli : it has all my favorite artists -- caravaggio , botticelli . cellini was their equal in the art of sculpture , and knowing that fair maximista has a love for music , but not knowing whether or not she 's experienced the romantic classics of strauss , vivaldi , stravinsky -- maxie : you really have to be a genius to know about all this stuff . spinelli : well , i do n't know about that , but they do say that every genius has a muse , and if so , if what you say is true , then i owe a huge debt to my inspiration . i mean , it was just my great desire to share my knowledge of beauty with she who honors me with her friendship . maxie : thank you so much . you know exactly how to make me feel special . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : okay , the baby is experiencing a deceleration in her heart rate every time robin has a contraction . anna : well , what do we do ? mac : can she do a c - section ? elizabeth : there are risks with having a cesarean , and there 's a chance the umbilical cord may be wrapped around her neck . anna : oh , god . [ scene_break ] patrick : okay , okay , okay . robin : oh , oh ! aah ! [ scene_break ] anna : oh , god . i refuse to believe that all that robin has been through in her life that something could happen to her baby . mac : if robin ever needed our love and courage , now is the time . [ scene_break ] maxie : sometimes i still feel georgie . do you think she can hear us ? spinelli : the kind and gentle friend has a powerful spirit . maxie : i swear , georgie , if you can hear me , please do n't let anything bad happen to robin and her baby . they need you looking out for them right now . [ scene_break ] robin : about the closet . patrick : you mean the nursery . robin : i know it 's a closet . you know it 's a closet . we have to get the kid out of there before she knows it 's a closet . you know , once this is done , i think we should rethink our living arrangements . patrick : yeah ? robin : yes . patrick : whatever you want . robin : maybe we can get one of those big victorian houses across from -- here comes another one .

i remember this halloween . a.j . : [ laughs ] i remember that mask ! monica : shh ! shh ! shh ! shh ! a.j . : i scared the hell out of jason . he screamed so loud . dad dropped a drink in his lap , and grandfather swore that he was having chest pains . monica : and you were so pleased . all you did was just laugh . michael : you should have seen your face . starr : you nearly gave me a heart attack , michael . michael : oh , i 'm sorry . the girl who had snakes as pets and can name every spider in north america -- come on . you loved it . starr : okay . maybe i loved it , and maybe i did n't . i 'm just glad that you ended up coming over here . michael : yeah , well , there 's no point sitting around dwelling on everything . so , does this mean i get my treat ?

maxie : actually , i 'm moving out tonight . duke : this photograph does n't do you any justice . anna : really ? it 's the least of my problems . i 've got to find the person who finished off bernie abrahms , 'cause that 's the one that killed jason morgan . duke : are you making any progress ? anna : yeah , i 'm waiting on forensics . plus , there 's some fibers that i found at the scene . they 're working those up . with any luck , it 'll lead me to our man . or it 's all unrelated ... and he 's out there somewhere , just laughing at me . duke : i can assure you he 's not doing that . todd : what the hell are you doing ? luke spencer . luke : hmm . no wonder you did n't recognize me . last time , you were the one with the mask . todd : i -- i do n't know what you 're talking about . luke : oh , really ? sure , you do . the gardener 's shack . me tied to a chair , held hostage by heather webber and some spud with a hockey mask and a machete . todd : you were held hostage for a long time . clearly , you 're hallucinating . have you considered professional counseling ? luke : i knew that heather was a whack - job . she could n't be gotten to . but her accomplice -- he was something else . he could have freed me , if he 'd had a soul . todd : [ chuckles ] assuming that there was an accomplice -- and i 'm sure that he does have a soul , somewhere -- maybe he just figured that you would get yourself out of that mess by yourself . luke : really ? he was about your height , about your weight , and he had a fixation with fine italian footwear . todd : right . so starving , dehydrated , but you noticed the shoes . [ chuckles ] but that 's good , because it 's the details that make a story compelling . if you 're here because i 'm a publisher , i 'm afraid i ca n't print your story . i 'm sorry , but you being held hostage by heather -- that 's old news . luke : you 're a very skilled dissembler , manning . but i can spot a bluff . let 's not play any more games . i know that you were her accomplice . just admit it . patrick : why are you moving out ? maxie : i ca n't impose on you and emma . patrick : since when ? maxie : [ sighs ] look , we 're not even technically gon na be family anymore . once i sign the divorce papers , matt will be my ex - husband and you 'll be my ex- brother - in - law . patrick : you are robin 's cousin . you 're always gon na be family to us . maxie : sometimes family can get on your very last nerve . patrick : okay . all right . i know that we had some rough sledding in the beginning , but i feel like we 've settled into something here . maxie : i kind of feel like i 'm in limbo , you know ? like -- like i 've convinced myself that i 'm helping take care of you and emma , but what i 'm really doing is avoiding living my own life . patrick : yeah . no , i 'm not gon na lie to you . i feel like you had a little bit of that . maxie : okay , and i 'm not gon na do that anymore . i think it 's time that i get out on my own and -- i do n't know -- start a life with someone else . patrick : spinelli ? maxie : you know how life is all about timing ? mine happens to be very terrible . he 's seeing someone new . she 's cute and smart and very nice . she speaks spinelli better than i do . they can about comic books or astronomy for hours . and the horrible part is i actually really like her . not enough for spinelli , though . i want him with me . patrick : was that the birthday wish ? maxie : me and spinelli forever . yeah , it 's got to happen . i told him about the divorce . and once he sees that i 'm moving out of here , he 'll know i 'm serious . patrick : all right . uh , well , in that case , i 'm not gon na stand in your way of moving forward . maxie : ditto . todd : see a guy in a hockey mask and a decent pair of shoes , and you just assume that it 's me ? i -- i do n't even know what to say to you . luke : hockey mask , shoes , known association with heather . you were her boss . you were up to your neck in the baby switch . todd : no . i was a victim . i trusted her before i figured out that she was a complete and total lunatic . luke : uh - huh . well , then , you wo n't mind i take a look at your shoe rack . todd : no , no , not at all , right after you get your commissioner girlfriend who talks funny to give you a warrant . but i do n't think she 'll do that , because she might have told you , but she was there when the charges against me were all dropped . luke : well , she does n't anything about the shoes yet . todd : well , um , if you want to waste her time and the taxpayers ' money going through my shoe closet , go ahead , knock yourself out . but for now , i think it 's time for you to your treat and leave . luke : i know it was you , manning . i know it . i ca n't prove it -- yet -- but i 'll give you a word of warning -- when the wheel of karma comes around , it 's gon na roll right over you . todd : you forgot your mask . luke : oh , no , you keep it -- for next time . anna : what do know about the second shooter ? duke : only what you told me . but i do know you 're smart , you 're strong , you have great instincts , and at the end of the day , you always get your man . anna : thanks for the vote of confidence . i really do have to come to a resolution on this case . i owe that to the quartermaines . duke : hey , tonight is my first night at the haunted star , and they 're having this big halloween bash . i 'd love it if you 'd come . will you do that ? lulu : i do n't know about adoption . i just -- i have to get used to the idea of little rocco not looking like you . dante : well , there 's no guarantee the he would have been as handsome as his father and that he would have been a boy , anyway . lulu : i know . you know what i mean ? i just know how much it means to you to have your own child . dante : we want to be parents . that 's the point , right ? lulu : so you do n't care if the child is n't biologically yours ? dante : no . who cares where the baby comes from ? it 's you and me and how much love we have to give that counts . michael : oh -- starr : [ laughing ] i 'm try -- i was trying to be sexy and smooth , and i could n't get your cape off . michael : let me do it . see if i can do this . starr : do you want help ? michael : here you go . i got it . starr : that 's better . oh ! oh , my god ! michael : [ laughing ] are you okay ? michael : oh , i 'm all right . starr : we 're absolutely hopeless . this is not -- michael : maybe , uh , we should move this into the bedroom . or not . it 's -- i -- starr : no . it 's , um -- yeah . no . we could . it 's just -- what 's this ? michael : oh . um , monica gave that to me . starr : well , that 's -- that 's jason , right ? so , who 's -- who 's that ? michael : that 's my father . monica : you know , i think i have these costumes in a closet somewhere . i did n't throw out anything from your childhood . a.j . : i 'm glad you did n't throw them out . monica : me too . me too , because after you ... left , i would come up here a lot and think about you and jason and when you were younger . and i would regret the time i did n't spend with you boys , when alan and i were off doing something else . the times that we missed -- so many of them . now jason is gone .

carly : well , i found derek at ava 's apartment , and they 're partners , and i thought they were sleeping together . franco : the two are not mutually exclusive . of course they 're sleeping together . why would you waste your time with someone who would sleep with ava jerome ?

elizabeth : oh , do n't say that name . let 's go . duke : well , after she visited faison and his subsequent escape from steinmauer prison , she -- she fetched robert from the clinic . patrick : trying to help smoke faison out ? duke : well , that would be the obvious , would n't it ? i mean , anna 's driven when it comes to that madman . patrick : yeah , well , that 'd be an understatement . nobody would blame her . duke : well , that 's why i 'm so concerned -- 'cause she has n't checked in . i think it 's possible that maybe she and robert have caught up with faison and he 's turned the tables on them . patrick : all right . well , i would n't sound the alarms just yet . now , maybe we have n't talked to her , but she might have talked to nikolas cassadine . duke : when ? patrick : i 'm not sure when , but -- but nikolas and britt westbourne went to go try and save her son . duke : from that madwoman liesl obrecht ? patrick : yeah . duke : and you think they came across faison ? patrick : they might have because nikolas said that anna was going after obrecht , so maybe they talked . maybe nikolas knows something . nikolas : they 're gone . you can come out . faison : elizabeth has only grown more fetching since i saw her last . dr. obrecht : gott in himmel , cesar . nikolas : add her to the list of people to stay away from . britt : yeah . add everyone . what the hell is this ? robin : oh , your mother 's trying to dress me up in costume . britt : do you ever stop ? nikolas : [ sighs ] we 're going out . i do n't imagine there will be any more trick - or - treaters , but if i 'm wrong and the doorbell rings , do n't answer it . in fact , go squat upstairs . dr. obrecht : at the very least , change your costume . this never would have happened if you 'd dressed as david hasselhoff , as i advised . nikolas : [ sighs ] britt : ohh . nikolas : i assume that you heard all that out there ? robin : yeah . it 's , you know -- go have fun at the party . nikolas : i - i wish you could go . robin : you and me both . nikolas : i mean , we can -- we can stay . it 's not a big deal . robin : no , no , no . you should go after lesley . make sure she just does n't talk about faison to anybody . britt : yeah . i sure wish she would n't have brought it up a second time . nikolas : i know . i 'm hoping -- i 'm hoping she 'll just write it off . yeah , you 're right . we ca n't have lesley mentioning faison at the gh . rumor mill . felix : i 've got no use for a man who wo n't care for his child , no matter what costume he wears . brad : are you still on this ? felix : are you still denying your son ? brad : felix , guess what -- it 's not 1952 . children come into this world in all different ways now . britt and i had an agreement . i 'm just honoring it . felix : you did not just say , `` honor `` and `` i `` in the same sentence . brad : she does n't want me involved with her baby 's life . felix : okay . what if she did ? what if she changed her mind and came up to you ? am i to believe that you 'd morph into dad of the year ? brad : you know , i 'm not nearly as awful as you always make me out to be . felix : yeah ? prove it . brad : i already did . that christening ring a bell ? because of me , a huge , huge injustice was revealed . felix : yeah , let me get my slow clap on . [ clapping slowly ] brad : really ? no credit ? felix : for perpetuating a lie about a baby 's parents ? upending one , two , three , four , five people 's lives with the whole thing at the said baby 's christening , all because you wanted to get in good with yours truly ? [ chuckles ] sorry . no credit here . brad : so , you rather i stay quiet ? see ? you know it was the right thing to do . felix : okay . you did the right thing for someone else 's kid . how 'bout doing the right thing for yours ? carly : what 's the matter ? cat got your tongue ? franco : i wish . carly : 'cause i find your -- franco : my tongue ? carly : your preoccupation with my -- franco : with your tail ? carly : with my social planning surprising . franco : do you ? carly : yeah . franco : really ? carly : i do n't think it 'll please diane . remember her -- your girlfriend ? i 'm sure she has your shoulder pads and garter all picked out for tomorrow night , so ... franco : why would diane pick me out a garter belt ?
