siobhan : well , this is becomin ' a habit . lucky : well , i figured after the thanksgiving ordeal , an ambush was my only chance of seeing you again . siobhan : it was n't an ordeal . i got a free meal and a floor show . lucky : well , that 's one way of looking at it , i guess . siobhan : it would n't be the holidays unless i was surrounded by some sort of dysfunction . i mean , at least the quartermaines were entertainin ' . my family , we ca n't get through a gathering without a full - on brawl . lucky : there 's still christmas . [ siobhan chuckles ] siobhan : so , are you here to apologize , or are you here to spring something else on me ? high tea with your brother ? the prince , perhaps ? lucky : no . i 'm actually here on business . i was hoping you could help me out with something . siobhan : sure . what can i do to help ? lucky : i need you to tell me everything you remember the balkan 's men say when they were holding you . [ scene_break ] carly : i think we should skip the tree lot this year . i do . i think we should cut down our own . we should pile into the car , go up to the mountain , and let the kids have their pick . jax : it 's a great idea , but i think it 's a little early to be talking about christmas trees . i 'm still recovering from thanksgiving . carly : manhattan was so much fun . it was . morgan and josslyn loved the parade . they loved ice - skating . i 'm so bummed that michael had to miss it . jax : well , maybe we can go back once he 's done with probation . carly : that 's why i want to have an awesome christmas . i do . i want the whole family together decorating the tree , singing by the fire . jax : you 're going to sing ? carly : i sound better with enough eggnog . jax : you 're gon na drink before you sing ? carly : no , you 're gon na drink before i sing . jax : oh ! that 's the plan -- getting me plastered , huh , so you 'll sound great . carly : yeah . but christmas is about celebrating . and we have a lot to celebrate . michael 's release . we got back together . jax : you know , somehow i do n't think that all this happiness is because of me . you want to tell me what you 're up to ? [ scene_break ] brenda : it 's an incredibly beautiful day outside . the sun 's out . i just heard there 's no chance of rain . jason : you 're still gon na need guards if you go out . brenda : no . why do you have to mention guards ? i 'm feeling happy . do n't you want me to feel happy ? jason : yeah , i want you to be happy . you can be happy upstairs , in here , or with guards . brenda : sonny 's taking me out . i mean , we 're gon na take things slow . and ... do n't even think about trying to stop me . jason : do you want me to ? [ scene_break ] sonny : how was your thanksgiving ? dante : oh , it was good . or , you know , depending on your definition of good . i had plans to sit on the couch and watch football all day , and lulu had plans to go to the quartermaines ' . sonny : edward let you in ? dante : yeah , barely . i had michael with me , and he 's got a soft spot for him , so ... sonny : well , edward and i do n't really like each other very much , but one thing we do agree on -- how important family is . dante : well , look . i guess you did n't call me here to talk about turkey and football . sonny : no . brenda let me know what happened between you two . [ scene_break ] siobhan : i ca n't say i 'm the most reliable witness . and other than having me ear out for things like , `` i 'll get rid of the girl `` or `` dump the body , `` i was really only half listening to the conversation . me focus was on freeing me hands before they gave the order to finish me off . lucky : yeah . yeah , i think about how close you came to dying , how many hours you spent in fear because of me . siobhan : it 's sweet of you to want to take the blame . but i would have never have come to the balkan 's attention if i had n't followed you into that alley like i did . and you warned me to stay put or i 'd blow your cover . but i was too hardheaded to listen . lucky : i know , but i could have put you on a plane to anywhere in the world , siobhan . i mean , i could have put you on a flight to moscow or shanghai or rio , someplace crowded where you could lay low for a while until you were off the balkan 's radar . but i brought you here because i wanted to keep you safe , and it 's a hell of a job i 'm doing . siobhan : but i 'm still alive , are n't i ? look , if what i went through provides a decent clue , it makes it all worthwhile . i just -- i wish i had more for you to go on than the name jack . lucky : well , we 'll start there . [ scene_break ] steve : ohh . hey , you know , with lisa off the o.r . rotation , we have gaps all over the board . patrick : what , are you having second thoughts about putting her on probation ? steve : i know transferring lisa was the best thing for everyone , but now i 'm stuck scrambling to cover her service . patrick : why do n't you cut back on the electives ? that will free up some doctors , and then i 'll work double shifts if need be . as long as lisa 's nowhere near robin , i 'll do whatever it takes . excuse me . steve : hey . how 's it going down there ? you look kind of frazzled . lisa : oh , i 'm just tired . i 've been on my feet since 6 a.m. putting in stitches and prescribing rash creams , and that 's just for the interns i 've been saddled with . steve : i know working in the e.r . was n't your first choice , but the hospital is benefiting by having someone with your skill and expertise down there . lisa : it 's actually not that bad . you know , ortho can be pretty predictable after a while . most of my days are filled with repairing torn acls and replacing hips . and down in the e.r . , you never know what kind of trauma is gon na be rolled in next . keeps me on my toes . i am concerned about my surgical patients , though , in regards to my absence . patrick : well , if you were that concerned , you would n't have went after robin . steve : what patrick meant to say was , we have everything under control . is n't that right , patrick ? robin : stop . i thought the idea was to keep lisa out of surgery and off of this floor . lisa : well , i was just here dropping off some charts . do you want to double- check my story , or you just want to jump ahead and point fingers and accuse me of stalking ? steve : i strongly suggest you get down to the e.r . and next time , have an intern drop off the charts . lisa : okay . back to work . uh , i feel like cinderella . but not in a good way . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , when brenda first came to town , i was gearing up for war . but then i realized i was sabotaging my own happiness . and i am happy . i love you , and i love our life together . so , whatever brenda chooses to do or not do , i do n't care . it 's her life . jax : do you mean that , or are you just telling me what you think i want to hear ? carly : i decided that living well is the best revenge . i am blessed . i have 3 great kids . i have a wonderful husband . i am not going to push you away . i 've decided to make you so damn happy , you 're not even gon na think about brenda . jax : okay , good . well , i 'm glad to hear that . and i hope that we can leave brenda to her life so that we can focus on ours . okay ? carly : sounds like a plan . [ scene_break ] brenda : i told sonny the truth , about aleksander and ... dante helping to cover it up , and he said that he understood . he thinks i should forgive myself . jason : well , you should forgive yourself . brenda : you think it 's a bad idea , do n't you ? jason : i mean , what 's it matter what i think ? brenda : well , i have horrible news . i do care what you think . and i can see the look on your face , you know ? you already think it 's not gon na work out , right ? i mean , ca n't you just say that you think we have a chance ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i ran into brenda at my old apartment . it was by chance that we ended up there , or whatever you want to call it . it gave us a chance to , um , talk things out . and we came to the conclusion that if we 're gon na make this work , we got ta be honest with each other , so that 's when she told me what she was hiding . i know all about her killing the balkan 's son and you covering it up . [ dante sighs ] sonny : this is your chance to call me a hypocrite . no . hey , you know , um , as a father , i 'm glad that you were able to do everything you could to protect the woman i care about . [ scene_break ] lisa : okay . so , the good news is that i do n't think anything 's broken , but you probably strained a muscle . so i 'm gon na get some x - rays done just to be on the safe side , and you should be back cheering with your squad by next week . april : it 's not fair . lisa : well , it could be worse . you could bout the entire season . april : i do n't care about the stupid basketball game . i 'm talking about ashley . she knew i liked brandon , but she went out with him , anyway . lisa : ah . i take it that ashley is another cheerleader . april : captain . she thinks that gives her the right to do whatever she wants . oh , i should so put this on confession . lisa : what 's confession ? april : watchmyconfession.com . it 's a website where you can post your side of the story . it 's all anonymous , so there 's no chance of it getting traced back to you . lisa : okay . but if nobody knows who you 're talking about , why do it ? april : i guess it helps to know that people are on my side , even strangers . nikolas : excuse me . dr. niles ? lisa : oh . do you need something ? nikolas : whenever -- if you have a minute . ah . lisa : ah , sure . you know , i will be right back . uh , is there a problem ? nikolas : no , no . i was just checking in to see how you were doing down here . lisa : they 're definitely keeping me busy , that 's for sure . nikolas : good . listen , i know that this has n't been easy for you , but i really appreciate you sticking around and making the best of a bad situation . lisa : well , there ' way i 'm gon na let robin 's accusations ruin my career . so , i 'm gon na do whatever it takes to clear my name . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . lucky : hey . sam : dante 's on his way . jason and spinelli should be here soon , too . lucky : thanks for letting us use the office . sam : oh , come on . it 's not like you could all sit down together at the pcpd and go over a bunch of phone records of dead guys without drawing attention to yourselves . besides , spinelli has some of the best computer equipment here . so , if you need any information , i 'm sure you 're gon na find it . do you have any new leads ? lucky : no . i went over the phone call again with siobhan , and she does n't remember hearing the balkan 's men say anything other than the name jack . sam : well , she may need more time . when you 're in an intense situation like that , sometimes you 're so focused on the fear , it takes a while for things to come back . lucky : yeah . you know , hearing siobhan relive it , the way they kept her tied to a chair for hours threatening her , just made me angry all over again , you know ? i just hate the fact that she had to go through that . what ? sam : what what ? it 's just -- just been a while since i 've seen you like this . lucky : mad ? sam : no , not mad . like , invested in someone . it 's good to see that you did n't let everything that happened with elizabeth stop you from opening and letting people in . lucky : siobhan did n't give me a choice . i mean , the situation was so intense and everything just happened . and now i do n't want it to end . sam : oh , and best of all , she has no connection to port charles , which is good . it 's like a fresh start -- nothing dragging you down . i mean , what more could you ask for ? [ scene_break ] dante : look , when i was helping brenda , it was before i knew i was your son . it honestly just felt like the right thing to do . sonny : look , a lot of cops would have put their badge before brenda 's best interest . you went with your instinct . i just want you to keep taking care of her . that 's all . dante : i got ta go over some leads with jason . there 's a phrase i never thought i 'd say . sonny : whatever it takes to catch that bastard . dante : uh , are you looking for brenda ? she 's over at jason 's . sonny : suzanne , she 's here to see me . [ telephone rings ] sonny : i got ta get -- hold a second , all right ? [ ring ] suzanne : i do n't suppose you stopped by to tell your father about your emotional connection to brenda ? dante : you know what ? whatever conversations you have with my father , maybe just leave my name out of it . whatever happened between me and brenda is in the past , and that 's where it 's got ta stay . sonny : uh , sorry about that . suzanne : do you mind telling me why i 've been summoned ? sonny : yeah . brenda and i , we 've decided to give our relationship another shot . and i just want to give you a little piece of advice . do n't get in the way . [ scene_break ] brenda : listen , are you , um , are you interested in , i do n't know , wishing us well or ... jason : no , i 'm just gon na stay out of this . brenda : so you think we 're gon na fail . jason : i mean , if you 're happy , that 's great . if it does n't work out , it 's gon na be too bad . my main interest is keeping you alive right now . brenda : i do n't like that answer . just say something nice . say you think it 's gon na work . it could work . just say it . just say it once . spinelli : the divine one seems most distressed . can the jackal be of assistance ? perhaps , i do n't know , some herbal tea -- jason : we do n't need tea , okay ? you and i have to meet dante and lucky at your office . brenda : i actually could use the support , and i would love some tea with whiskey in it . and you do n't need him . why do n't you just go down there , cops do n't like to be left waiting . spinelli : stone cold , i will happily meet you when the divine one is effectively soothed , okay . uh , well , before i begin the brewing process , are there any specific symptoms you would like the tea to target ? brenda : i feel really happy and very nervous . i have a date with sonny . [ chuckling ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , i just saw dr. niles in the e.r . she does n't seem to be letting her probation affect her work . steve : it 's only the first day . no complaints so far . nikolas : have you had any problems covering her in the o.r . ? steve : we 're just having to juggle . as far as -- patrick : it 's nothing we ca n't handle . we 're fine up here . nikolas : listen , i realize this might be overkill , but there 's still no proof that lisa injected robin with anything , yet we 've banished her to the e.r . for what ? just entering robin 's room ? patrick : lisa should n't have been in robin 's room in the first place . and as chief trustee and robin 's friend , i would imagine you 'd want to keep her safe . nikolas : look , patrick , i want to give robin the benefit of the doubt but there 's just no proof to back up any of her claims . patrick : you really think that robin would just make this up ? nikolas : i did n't say that . look , she 's been under a lot of stress lately , in large part due to your infidelity . that 's not a judgment . listen to me . it 's not a judgment , it 's just an observation . patrick : i 'm listening . nikolas : and i know how guilt can play havoc on your objectivity . so i 'm just saying that maybe you 're blindly accepting her version of the events to lessen your own guilt . lisa : ahem . nikolas : hey . lisa : uh , robin just had me paged , and i do n't want to go into her room without a witness . so , can one uh you join us ? that way , she ca n't accuse me of threatening her again . [ knock on door ] lisa : i hope you do n't mind , but i brought a witness . nikolas : okay , i 'm not here to take sides , but i thought it would be wise to have a third party present . robin : well , that 's good . i 'm glad you 're here . i just wanted to tell you that i am being released . and since my uncle 's house was burned down , i 'm going to my own home . so the key that you stole and copied , do n't bother using it , because it wo n't work . i 've changed all the locks . and if i see you anywhere near my house or my family , i will not hesitate to call the police or kill you myself . i consider you a danger to yourself and to others , and i will use any means necessary to protect my family . lisa : okay . well , you do n't need to worry 'cause if i see your house in flames , i will just keep on driving . robin : see ? even with a witness , she continues to make threats . [ scene_break ] dante : hey . jason : okay . lucky : hey . sam : hey . lucky : where 's spinelli ? jason : he 's at home in case brenda needs him . lucky : why would brenda -- jason : please do n't ask . sam : because spinelli is madly in love with brenda , and he 'll do anything for her . he 's falling all over himself and buying scented candles and going shopping for -- dante : that 's great . that 's gon na keep her alive . sam : yeah . dante : we need to make sure the balkan does n't come after her again . is there any way we can pull up the phone records ? sam : i 'm logged in already , but i only know how to do my case files . i do n't know -- lucky : mind if i give it a try ? i 'm pretty good with computers . jason : i 'll just call spinelli and get him down here . he needs the work , anyway . lucky : you know what ? i 'm already logged in . spinelli 's been thorough , as usual . he logged the contents of every call , but there are no calls to anyone with the name john or jack . [ scene_break ] spinelli : mr. sir . although many would appreciate your punctuality , the divine one is -- sonny : she 's gon na keep me waiting . do n't worry . she used to keep me waiting all the time . [ sighs ] i want to ... uh ... okay . you know what ? it would be better if i waited alone . spinelli : well , the divine one 's delay has afforded us the opportunity to have a vital conversation . sonny : it would be better if we did n't have a conversation . spinelli : i 'm sorry , but i must respectfully insist . [ sonny laughs ] spinelli : i have -- i have become dear friends with the divine one , and i know that she is concerned that mr. sir will once again break her still fragile heart . and to that end ... i need to know the nature of your intentions . sonny : what are you asking me ? spinelli : are you out to bed brenda , only to leave her fl as you have done so many others ? [ scene_break ] robin : no , that 's okay . i think i can find a home but thanks . bye . patrick : hey . so it 's true ? you 're going home ? robin : yeah . dr. lithgow did another series of tests and everything seems to be normal . so , i 'm finally set to go home . patrick : well , that 's great news . emma 's gon na be excited to have you back . robin : yeah . i mean , between the infection and the burn , i was honestly prepared to stay longer . so ... patrick : listen , i know it might be a little bit -- a little much to ask , but i was hoping maybe i could drive you home and just help you and emma get settled in . i wo n't stay long . i 'll just -- robin : i think that would -- patrick : i just want to make sure you guys get home safe . and i want to stop by the store and fill up the fridge with your favorites , because i know it 's been a while and i just want to make sure that you guys -- robin : patrick , why are you trying so hard to convince me ? i was saying yes . thank you . [ scene_break ] lisa : so ... oh , nikolas , wait . nikolas : hey . lisa : thank you again so much for going with me to see robin . nikolas : you 're welcome . lisa : i 'm sorry you had to witness all that . nikolas : all right . she certainly unloaded on you , did n't she ? lisa : yeah . nikolas : she 's not very objective when it comes to you . she took your little remark about the house burning down completely out of context . she saw it as a threat . lisa : wow . well , that 's actually not surprising , 'cause she 's been volatile all along . nikolas : i think you should just keep your distance , for your sake as well as hers . lisa : you 're the first person to actually acknowledge that i have something at stake here , too . you know , if robin keeps up with these baseless accusations , i could lose my career . nikolas : well , i would certainly hate to see that happen . you 're a talented doctor . we could use more of you around here . lisa : thank you . okay . oh . hi . april : they said i can go home . lisa : yeah . your x - ray showed no broken bones . but you need to take it easy for a few days , okay ? so , cheerleading is out of the question for a few days . got it ? april : not a problem . i do not want to see ashley , anyway . lisa : hey , one more thing . uh , that website that you mentioned earlier -- can anybody upload a story ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the divine one is a delicate being . sonny : mm - hmm . spinelli : she deserves to be treated with the utmost respect . sonny : you do n't think i respect brenda ? spinelli : well ... sonny : hmm ? spinelli : mr. sir can be overwhelming at times , perhaps coming on a bit strong for the divine one 's current level of comfort . sonny : right . spinelli : it is imperative that you let her set the pace for the relationship . do n't push her into anything she 's not ready for , be it emotional or ... physical . [ sonny gasps ] spinelli : and if ... if intimacy does transpire ... sonny : mm - hmm . spinelli : i would sincerely hope that mr. sir would take the necessary precautions ... sonny : mm - hmm . spinelli : and keep in mind that while it is easy to get caught up in the moment ... sex implies a deep trust and , dare i say , love . and the divine one deserves all of mr. sir 's devotion . and you should be prepared to act accordingly . sonny : you done ? okay , let me make myself clear . you 're telling me how to treat a woman that i loved for years and i almost married . is -- is that what ... spinelli : the jackal is aware of the pain of getting one 's heart thrown in a blender and shredded , as it were , by someone who goes into things with only the best intentions . so , if i can spare the divine one even an ounce of that anguish ... it is worth risking mr. sir 's wrath . sonny : okay . all right . let me give you something here , okay ? it 's very nice that you 're brenda 's good friend . and i 'll tell you what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na be very careful with brenda . [ laughs ] that 's fine . [ scene_break ] dante : all right , forget the name . try location . look for street names , addresses -- [ telephone rings ] dante : these guys had to know where the balkan was hiding out . sam : mccall and jackal p.i . yeah , of course . i 'll let you know what i find out . okay . all right , bye . alright , guys -- [ telephone rings ] sam : hold on . mccall and jackal p.i . um , let me check . no . i 'm booked for the rest of the afternoon . maybe i can pencil you in for to -- yeah . tomorrow 's good . okay . i i 'll see you then . thanks . dante : a little tough doing business when your partner 's not here all the time ? sam : well , i actually like working by myself . but do n't say anything to him . bye . mwah . okay . got ta go . jason : hmm . okay . we need go at this another way . can you do a search on the name janacek ? j - a - n - a - c - e - k . lucky : this a wild guess , or do you know something i do n't ? jason : a guy named aleksander janacek 's body was dragged from a swamp in jersey 6 months ago . he 's the balkan 's son . now , the name 's probably an alias , but it could lead to something else . lucky : whoa . the balkan had a son ? why am i just hearing about this now ? jason : can you just do this search for me , lucky , please ? lucky : i 'm not doing anything . tell me what else you 're holding back . dante : look , jason 's not withholding anything . i was there . i 'm the one who covered it up . [ scene_break ] steve : hey , you leaving so soon ? robin : well , it did n't come soon enough . not that you guys were n't great . patrick : ca n't say the same about the food , though , huh ? robin : no , i 'm looking forward to trading in tapioca for orange chicken form mr. chang 's . but before that i want to go home and just love on my little girl . steve : then you better get out of here . but the next time i see you , it better mean you 're back on rotation . robin : i am so thankful that i have a job to come back to , thanks to you . if you had n't kept lisa on probation , i would be before a board right now , defending my job . steve : you 're a good doctor . you deserve to be here . robin : i intend to prove that when i come back . i 'm going focus on my patients and avoid lisa altogether . patrick : and hopefully she does the same . [ elevator door opens ] patrick : that 's us . see you . steve : see you . [ robin sighs ] robin : i ca n't believe this is really happening . i 'm going home . patrick : you know , wish that when , uh , we get home , we could ... you know what ? i 'm driving you home . that 's enough right now . and we 're not gon na talk about anything . if we 're gon na talk about anything , let 's talk about how the apple tree in the backyard needs to be pulled out because it 's dead . robin : [ laughs ] okay , well , we can talk about that ... maybe , if you want , but ... i just want you to know that no matter what happened with us as a couple , i ... i 'm just so grateful that you stood by me . [ scene_break ] lisa : all right ... uh ... um , okay , well , i -- i guess you could say i am the other woman . i fell in love with a married man . only he was n't married when we first met . [ scene_break ] dante : i drove out to jersey , i dumped the body in a swamp . they recovered it 6 months ago . lucky : if brenda shot this guy in self - defense , why the cover - up ? dante : because if i filed a report , the balkan would find out that brenda killed his son , she 'd be a target , he 'd come after her , just like he is now . jason : at least you gave brenda 3 years of peace . dante : if you can call it that . she was safe , but she still had to live with the fact that she killed somebody . lucky : if she had n't shot aleksander , you 'd be dead . you both did what you had to do . dante : well , the department , i do n't think , is gon na see it that way . lucky : screw the department . you were assigned to protect brenda and that 's what you did . dante : yeah . i broke a hell of a lot of boundaries in the process . lucky : well , mac wo n't be hearing about it from me . dante : it 's actually carly i 'm more worried about . she thinks we 're hiding something , an affair . if she keeps digging , she 's gon na find the truth . lucky : yeah . it 's almost impossible to keep carly quiet . can you do something about that ? jason : i 'm trying , but right now the bigger threat is the balkan . dante : okay , look , the balkan started coming after brenda after his son 's body was found , so prior to that , it does n't sound like he knew that he was dead or much less how it even happened . lucky : so what put the balkan on brenda 's trail , then ? jason : brenda was involved with aleksander at the time he disappeared . now , the balkan may not think that brenda was the one who killed his son , but he 's counting on the fact that she knows who did . [ scene_break ] jax : ms. stanwyck . suzanne : suzanne , please . jax : jasper jacks . suzanne : thank you for taking time to meet with me . jax : you 're welcome . suzanne : i can imagine how busy you are running this hotel . which is beautiful , by the way . it rivals anything i 've seen in europe . jax : well , thank you very much . i appreciate that . but i 'm going to take a wild guess and assume that the director of a.s.e.c . did n't ask to meet with me to talk about the accommodations at my hotel . suzanne : you 're right . i can see why brenda considers you a dear friend . she needs honest people around her . like you . jax : another compliment . where are you going with this ? suzanne : brenda 's work with a.s.e.c . has been very helpful . she has increased our operating revenue immeasurably . but for me , she 's more than just the face of a charity . she 's become a good friend . that 's why i asked to meet with you . brenda needs your help . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i assume the date will involve a meal of some sort ? sonny : uh , yeah . that 's what usually happens when you invite somebody out to have dinner . spinelli : are you planning on preparing one of your signature pasta dishes for the divine one , or ... patronizing a particular establishment ? sonny : i know what i 'm doing . i know what i 'm gon na plan . it 's all right . you do n't have to tell me -- spinelli : i just -- mr . sir is a frequent target of violence , and since the divine one is a target as well , does that not in fact double the risk if you were to go out together ? perhaps -- perhaps you 'd enjoy staying in . the jackal would be happy to prepare a healthy repast for the both of you . sonny : we do n't need a chaperone , um , spinelli . spinelli : okay , well , if privacy is what you prefer , i mean , i could just retire to -- to the confines of the weight room . sonny : [ laughs ] lift weights ? brenda : hi . spinelli : hi . brenda : hi . sonny : you look -- you look great . brenda : thanks . sonny : you ready to go ? brenda : uh , yeah . oh , i just need to grab my jacket . sonny : i 'll get that for you . spinelli : i -- sonny : do n't do that . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i -- i -- i must protest . sonny : this -- spinelli : the divine one can not -- you can not risk life and limb , as well as your emotional well - being , to go out on a date with mr. sir . you have to cut this off bef -- you have to cut this off while you still draw breath .

[ sonny whistling ] spinelli : not even your safety ? brenda : i 've been playing it safe the last 8 years , so ... i really want this . okay ? spinelli : okay . brenda : okay . spinelli : then i shall wish you all the happiness that you deserve . brenda : okay . it 'll be okay , i promise . okay , let 's go . fine . sonny : all right . i 'll get that . here . let me get that . brenda : okay . carly : wow . this is just too perfect .

maxie : so , did you guys find your surrogate ? dante : uh , well , that all depends . maxie : on what ? lulu : on whether or not you want to give us a baby . maxie : is this ... are you guys serious ? lulu : we want to take you up on your offer , if it still stands , obviously . i mean , you might have changed your mind , and , i mean , that 's understandable because ... dante : okay , hang on . lulu : ... it 's a big decision . dante : take a breath . yeah , we would like you to be our surrogate . lulu : we want you to carry our baby , maxie . ellie : maxie told you she loved you last week ? ! spinelli : yeah , she did . ellie : oh , my god . first , i discover you and maxie almost got married , and now you tell me that as recently as last week , she told you to choose between me and her ? ! spinelli : apologies . there was n't an opportune time to -- ellie : why would maxie do that ? ! she knows we 're together ! she knows that we 've been intimate ! i mean , what would make her think that ... oh , my god . spinelli : w - what ? ellie : you 're still in love with maxie . t.j. : hey , you got ms . barnum 's assignment ? molly : uh , yeah . i was just about to start it . t.j. : why were n't you at school ? molly : uh , i took a personal day . t.j. : again ? i mean , you just took one for the funeral . molly : i know . but i had some business to take care of . t.j. : mm , mysterious . what kind of business ? molly : you know , just pitching my novel to a publisher . todd : i have no desire to discuss blair 's sorry consolation prize of a husband tomás delgado with you . carly : what if i told you ... todd : what are you doing ? carly : ... this was n't tomás delgado ? todd : okay , i know what you 're doing . i know you 're trying to make me feel better about this wedding , but there 's no -- carly : no , i 'm telling you , i do n't think this is tomás . todd : okay , carly . who is it , then ? skye : the father of my child , for starters . blair : oh ! oh , look at that ! so this is from your mother 's veil ? sweetie , you should keep this for yourself . téa : are you kidding me ? you should have seen the size of that thing . it was enormous . blair : [ chuckles ] téa : there 's plenty where that came from . this is from my mom 's bouquet . blair : oh . téa : oh , and that 's a capias . puerto rico , everyone gives -- blair : capias ? téa : yeah , capias -- as a wedding favor . blair : oh ! look at this . i can not believe that you made this . it 's so special . téa : from my familia to yours . i ca n't believe , in less than 24 hours , you 're gon na be a delgado . blair : thank you . téa : no , blair , thank you . blair : for what ? téa : for saving my life after todd destroyed it . sonny : i wo n't let anyone hurt you again . you do n't have to be afraid anymore , okay ? because you 're safe with me . kate , connie -- it does n't matter to me . you got to just come back to me , you know ? do you want to come back to me ? connie : sonny ? sonny : kate ? [ door opens ] michael : dad ? what the hell are you doing ? sonny : do n't -- do n't disappear , kate . just stay with me , okay ? michael : dad -- dad , what is going on ? sonny : get back ! get out of here ! get out of here . michael : dad , what are you doing ? connie : why do n't you tell him , sonny ? good question . tell him ! tell him how you snatched me up and threw me into a car , tied me to a chair like an animal ! i think we 'd both like to know the answer to that one . michael : is that true ? have you been keeping her here ? connie : for days . sonny : yeah , it 's true . michael : why ? sonny : because i thought that if i could get connie alone , i could wear her down a little bit and bring kate back . michael : by kidnapping her . sonny : what was i supposed to do , michael ? michael : not this , dad ! sonny : well , the legal system 's worthless . they wo n't let me get treatment for kate , so i had to do it myself . michael : this is crazy ! you 're not a psychiatrist ! connie : touché . sonny : that 's why i brought somebody in . that was the whole plan , but he could n't take it , and he left . connie : 'cause he 's a wuss . sonny : come here . i was getting real close . i was right there . she was on the verge of coming back . i could see it in her eyes . connie : yeah , then you got here in the nick of time , mikey . i was just wishing that my knight in shining armor would come in , and you fit the description quite well . so why do n't you be a good boy and call the cops for me ? sonny : my son 's not calling the cops . michael : you sure about that ? spinelli : ellie , please understand , i did n't know the true nature of maxie 's feelings -- ellie : i knew this was too good to be true . you seemed like the perfect fit for me . spinelli : i still think that i am . ellie : god , i 'm such an idiot . you know , i actually thought that maxie wanted to live with me because she liked me . spinelli : technically , you were the one that -- ellie : i played right into her hand . living with me meant being closer to you , and i fell for it every single time ! i included her on our halloween date . i let her cut into our dance . i even felt sorry for her when she divorced her wrench - murdering husband ! spinelli : the kindness that you 've shown maxie has made me care you for you even more ! ellie : oh , my god . that was for you . spinelli : what was ? ellie : she divorced the wrench murderer , or , more accurately , the wrench manslaughterer , in order to -- to be free for you . that was maxie 's way of proving that she was committed to you . spinelli : okay , that might have been her intent , but -- ellie : when were you planning on breaking up with me , damian ? ! tomorrow ? ! next week ? ! or were you just gon na wait until the official divorce papers went through ? ! spinelli : those assumptions are not accurate . ellie : no , you know what ? it does n't even matter . forget it . spinelli : wait , wait . where are you going ? ellie : i 'm packing ! i obviously ca n't stay here . spinelli : okay , look -- you 've had your say -- ellie : and now you want yours ? spinelli : please , if i might ? ellie : go for it . spinelli : i chose you . ellie : i do n't ... what does that mean ? spinelli : when maxie asked me to choose ... i chose you . maxie : you said that this was a terrible idea . lulu : i know . maxie : you said that i could n't use your problem to fix mine . you laughed at me . lulu : that was a knee - jerk reaction , because i did n't realize that you were serious . maxie : i was serious . lulu : i know . so am i . dante : and me . lulu : so are we . what you offered -- are offering -- is so kind and gen -- i ca n't even put into words what it would mean . maxie : did you guys meet with other candidates ? dante : yes , we met with two other people , but none of them worked out . lulu : i would n't let them carry my purse , let alone my child . maxie : okay , i get it . i 'm your last resort . t.j. : seriously , what were you doing today ? molly : all right , you ca n't tell anyone -- and i mean anyone . t.j. : okay . molly : promise . t.j. : i promise ! what 's the big deal ? molly : i wrote a book . t.j. : wait . so the publisher thing was n't a joke ? molly : no . t.j. : you wrote a book ? molly : uh - huh . t.j. : a `` book `` book ? molly : uh - huh . t.j. : about what ? molly : read it . t.j. : let me see . wow . todd : you remind me of someone . skye : oh , the person you and your bitch of an ex - wife tried to frame for shooting max holden ? todd : yes . oh . you look just like her . skye : well , i 'm not here about that . i 'm here about alcazar . todd : you 're here about a remote island prison ? what 's an alcazar ? carly : this is alcazar . téa : walking back in here ... without that boy ... i honestly did n't think i 'd be able to make it through another day . but i did . because of you and tomás . blair : no , do n't you dare . do n't you dare thank me for that . téa : why not ? blair : because we support you , sweetheart . we love you . téa : i love you . blair : oh . téa : i love you so much , honey . blair : stop crying , okay ? you know , i just -- i still ca n't believe todd did what he did , you know ? i mean , i guess that says more about me than it does him , but ... you know , fool me once , shame on you , fool me a thousand times , i believe it gets a little redundant . téa : how could you possibly have known that he switched the babies ? blair : he 's done it before , téa . not exactly a baby switch , but he led me to believe that my own son jack was dead . that 's exactly what he did to that sam woman . and you know what he did ? he -- just because he could not stand the fact that it could possibly be max holden 's son . téa : god . [ sighs ] what is wrong with todd ? blair : i do n't know . téa : how did we love him ? blair : i do n't know . téa : oh , most importantly , why are we talking about him ? blair : i do n't know ! téa : okay . [ chuckles ] today is a day to celebrate . okay ? it 's a happy day . blair : tomorrow is gon na be happier because ... i 'm getting married téa : to my brother . [ laughs ] blair : the most wonderful man . todd : okay , this does n't happen a lot , but i 'm really lost . carly : okay , you believe this is tomás delgado . todd : yeah , i know that smarmy face anywhere . carly : okay , get out of the way . todd : yes , dear . carly : get . todd : what are you doing ? i -- you did n't save my game ? carly : hold on . take a look at this . skye : he may be tomás to you ... carly : but he 's lorenzo alcazar to us . go ! t.j. : what 's it about ? molly : a rich college girl trying to prove she can survive without her parents ' money , so she gets a job at a diner . t.j. : like kelly 's ? molly : yeah , except it takes place in a little town in maine . so , at her new job , she meets a very -- intriguing man , who is also irresistibly hot . t.j. : oh , okay . so it 's about me . [ both laugh ] it 's got to be . todd : are you telling me that tomás delgado is not who he says he is ? skye : wow . sharp as a tack , this one . todd : thank you . but who 's lorenzo ? skye : an international arms dealer . carly : i was married to him for about a minute . skye : and he 's the father of my child . and , oh , he 's also dead . carly : yeah , jason went on trial for his murder , but he was acquitted because they could n't prove that lorenzo was legally dead . todd : okay , how long ago did jason allegedly kill -- skye : years . carly : yeah . todd : so , he could be lorenzo . carly : well , they sure as to hell look alike . skye : unless it 's luis . todd : who 's luis ? skye : lorenzo 's twin brother , but he 's dead , too . carly : yeah , but there was a body there , so he 's not an option . todd : but lorenzo is . skye : they were a very wealthy family . they do business all over the world . carly : yeah , he had the resources to fake his own death and then pop up as this tomás guy . todd : oh , yes ! yes ! carly : todd ! todd : yes ! skye : is he okay ? todd : you have no idea how much better than okay i am ! this is it ! you know what this means ? they 're over . they 're finally completely over . skye : who 's over ? carly : tomas and blair . todd : [ breathes deeply ] téa : i think the reason that todd passed sam 's baby off as mine is because he could n't stand the thought of me grieving . blair : you forgive him ? téa : god , no . but like i said , i think i understand . it is so sad , blair . he actually does the most damage when he 's trying to do something good . blair : okay . well , we got to stop it right there , because i completely disagree with you on that because i 've seen todd manning do so much damage -- so much -- on purpose . téa : i just wish he had the guts to admit what he did . blair : [ scoffs ] right . he 'd rather stick hot pokers in his eye . téa : okay . you know what ? i 'm -- we 're not talking about him anymore , okay ? blair : fine by me . let me tell you , if i do n't see todd manning again , it 'll be too soon . spinelli : i 'm trying to discern if this silence is happiness or ... a calm before a very angry storm . ellie : you chose me ? spinelli : yes . ellie : but maxie 's ... gorgeous , and she 's sexy and adorable , and she knows not to wear coral . i do n't know that . who knows that ? spinelli : maxie often states things as facts that are merely just opinions . ellie : see ? you know her . and you love her . spinelli : used to love her . ellie : yeah , but the only reason you did n't marry maxie was because she was n't ready -- not you -- her . and now she is . now she 's ready . spinelli : okay , right , but you heard what maxie said when she revealed all this . i 'd already moved on . ellie : why did you choose me , damian ? spinelli : because you 're my girlfriend . i made a commitment to you . ellie : okay . so you were just doing the right thing . spinelli : no , no ! i 'm doing what i want ... and what i want is you . ellie : okay , well ... take me out of the equation . spinelli : that 's impossible . ellie : try . what if you and i never met ? would you be with maxie right now ? dante : maxie , you are not a last resort . lulu : at all , but i can understand why you would think that . maxie : can you ? dante : i think lulu was a little caught off guard by your offer . maxie : were you there ? i do n't think so , because lulu said the only reason i offered to be your surrogate was because i needed to get my mind off of the fact that spinelli rejected me . she said i would freak out if i gained half of a pound , paper cuts annoy me , and -- oh , that 's right -- i killed my fish out of neglect . lulu : i did n't say that . maxie : it was strongly implied . so what has magically changed now that i get to be the surrogate , or were the other candidates just that bad ? lulu : no . the only thing that changed is that i realized that you 're right . you are like a sister to me . you get me . you 're brutally honest . you care about me more than anybody else could . dante : uh , except for me . lulu : shut up . maxie : we 're having a moment here . lulu : look , maybe the idea of surrogacy came because of what happened with spinelli , but you would n't have offered unless you really wanted to . and you want to help give us a family because you 're sweet and genuine and ridiculously kind . and we would be so grateful , and i 'm so sorry i said what i said . and if you do n't want to go through with this , it does n't change a thing . baby or no baby , you 're still my best friend . sonny : here , let me understand this . you want to have me arrested because i 'm helping kate ? michael : this is n't help , dad ! this is kidnapping ! connie : college is looking good on you , mikey . sonny : i love her , michael . we 're supposed to be married right now , starting a new life -- michael : and instead , you 're dealing with this . it 's not fair , i know . sonny : i 'm glad you underst -- michael : let me finish . i understand why you hate connie , okay ? i do , too . connie : oh , thanks . michael : but you ca n't always use force to get what you want . it might have worked with a.j . , but that does n't mean -- sonny : why are we talking about a.j . ? michael : because you made him give me up by using threats and violence -- the same thing you 're doing with connie now ! sonny : there 's no comparison ! the situation 's different michael ! michael : a.j . always told me this is your m.o . sonny : a.j . -- hold on . what ? a.j . told you ? a.j . told you ? huh ? like you have n't grown up with me ? you did n't live in my house , calling me dad ? you 're doing exactly what i told you not to do . you 're letting a.j . fill your head with garbage . michael : dad , i think he 's right . sonny : yeah ? you think he 's right ? call the cops . go ahead -- turn me in . maxie : you really think i could do this ? lulu : you 're one of the strongest people i know . maxie : and most responsible ? lulu : when it 's something you really care about , absolutely . dante : i -- i totally ... think you can do this , maxie . i think you will take great care of our baby until it 's born . lulu : and we 'll take care of you . maxie : well , i only have one condition . lulu : name it . maxie : i obviously have to have really cute maternity clothes . lulu : so , is this a yes ? maxie : yes . lulu : really ? you 'll do this for us ? maxie : yes . dante : [ chuckles ] lulu : i do n't even know what to say . i do n't know what -- maxie : well , how about you give your baby mama a hug ? ! dante : [ laughs ] maxie : no , no , unh - unh . dante : all right . spinelli : i waited an unnaturally long time for ... for maxie to fall in love with me . and ... every declaration of ... friendship was almost too much to bear . ellie : so the answer is yes , that if it were n't for me , you 'd be with maxie . spinelli : you know , a part of me may always love maxie , but that does n't mean that we 're right for each other . ellie : why not ? she loves you . and you love her . spinelli : okay , a few months ago , i told maxie that we could no longer be friends . i literally forced myself to move on , and a short time later , i met you . ellie : yeah . ellie trout , the second choice ! spinelli : no , no , no , ellie ! you were a gift , remarkable in every way , and you ... you made me see ... that getting over maxie was n't a curse . it was a blessing ... something that would start my life anew , and it has . ellie : because of me ? spinelli : i ca n't tell you how liberating it is to not have to run in circles to get your attention ... because i 'd already captured it , and you 'd captured mine . ellie : from the moment i met you . spinelli : for the first time in a long time ... i feel good . i feel like -- i feel like me . no excuses , no apologies . just me . you make me happy , ellie . and that 's why i 'm with you , not instead of or in spite of anyone ... but just for you . that 's why i 'm with you -- for you . ellie : no one ... has ever said anything like that to me before . spinelli : words are powerful . but if you can ... forgive me for being less than forthcoming ... i 'd much prefer to show you . ellie : yeah . yeah , i forgive you . connie : mikey , give your dad what he deserves -- a tiny cell with a big roommate . sonny : shut your mouth about prison with him . connie : oh , touchy , touchy . michael : dad , i 'm not calling the cops . connie : come on ! michael : mom did that to me when i begged her not to . i 'm not gon na turn around and do the same thing to you . sonny : thank you , michael . michael : but this ends now . let her go . connie : yeah . you hear that , sonny boy ? the party 's over . michael : dad , just let her go . connie : and you know what ? you know what ? after you let me go , you can hand me my phone because i 'll be calling the cops myself . t.j. : you wrote this whole thing and never said a word -- not during the water disaster , our bucket list , anything . molly : yeah . i mean , at that point , it was just something that i did n't get to finish , and i did n't want to waste time talking about it . but i did talk to starr manning yesterday , and she convinced me to show her the book . t.j. : she read it ? molly : not the whole thing , but she liked the first 50 pages -- a lot . t.j. : this is great . this is really amazing , seriously . molly : yeah , so , she said we should take it to her dad . t.j. : todd manning ? the newspaper guy ? molly : mm - hmm . he also owns a publishing company . he 's a little -- actually , make that a lot -- intimidating , but starr managed to get through to him . she kept mentioning sam . t.j. : how come ? molly : i do n't know . i guess he still feels really bad that he accidentally gave my nephew to that woman from llanview . téa : i know i said i did n't want to talk any more about todd , but ... blair : okay , all right , all right , lay it on me . what are sister - in - laws for ? come on . what is it ? téa : when my baby came out , he was n't breathing . not one sound , blair . why was n't i more skeptical when todd put vict -- put that healthy baby boy into my arms ? todd murdered my husband . why would i ever believe him ? blair : because you needed to . because you wanted to , just like i did , and you know what ? stop blaming yourself . téa , this is all todd . téa : you sound like tomás . blair : hmm . it 's funny . guess there is a reason why i 'm marrying him . speaking of which ... should n't he be here by now ? carly : okay , do n't break out the champagne yet , all right ? todd : come on ! why not ? ! this is great ! tomas is creepy . i 've been saying that since day one . skye : hey , what is your issue with lorenzo , anyway ? tomas -- tomás ! whatever the hell his name is ! todd : he had me held in an underground prison , delivered me into the hands of my lunatic mother , who convinced everybody that my twin brother was me , and then he lived my life for like eight years . i 'm a little upset at him . and he said he had to do it because he was some member of a cia rogue group . oh , this is just too good to be true ! skye : wait . did he always say he wanted to join the cia . todd : no , no , no ! he said he was a musician . he was a pianist in paris until , like , poof ! -- great word -- he just disappeared , vanished . nobody heard from him , not even his family . carly : téa did n't wonder what had happened to him ? todd : no , not until he blew back into town , saying that he 'd seen blair in paris and he just could n't forget her . what a loser thing to say . [ laughs ] and then , because all that happened , he had to `` come clean `` about being in the `` cia . `` skye : wait . so all those years that are unaccounted for , he could have spent them here . tomas could be lorenzo . carly : or lorenzo could be tomás . todd : oh , my god ! who cares ? ! he 's a big fat liar - pants who faked his own death ! blair always says that i 'm the bad guy ? oh ! i ca n't wait to tell her . oh ! this is how mommy learned ... dante : first -- first , we toast . maxie : to baby falconeri ? lulu : to maxie ! maxie : aww ! oh ! lulu , you do know that i 'm not actually pregnant yet . lulu : i know , i know ! i 'm just so excited . i 'm dumb . [ both laugh ] maxie : i 'm excited , too ! okay , so how does this work , exactly ? the doctor is gon na squirt your fertilized egg into me , and then i become an incubator for nine months , more or less ? lulu : more , way more . um ... you should really be prepared . it 's a very complicated process . maxie : cheers ! [ glasses clinking ] dante : cheers . spinelli : [ chuckles ] ahh ! so , do you believe me now ? that i want you and only you ? ellie : yes , i do . but ... i think we should seal the deal and take the next step . let 's go to my bedroom . spinelli : round 2 ? ellie : well , we can do that after . spinelli : okay . after what ? ellie : after we move me out of maxie 's apartment . sonny : kate was here . i know she was . connie : well , is she here now ? michael : dad , how did you think this would work ? connie : oh , let me answer that . your adopto - dad thought one flash of his dimples would bring kate out . i 'd be gone , kate would be back , and they 'd go skipping off into the sunset . is n't that right ? well , that 's a bust , and so is you getting away with this . so lets go . i got to get to my phone . michael : dad , you 're hurting kate , too . if you care about her as much as you say you do , you 'll let connie go . sonny : then what , michael ? michael : i do n't know . you 're doing the right thing , dad . sonny : go ahead , connie . call the cops . but you know what ? you 'll be sorry if you do . t.j. : so , manning said he 'd read it ? molly : well , he had my manuscript in his hands when starr and i left . by now , he should be at least halfway through . t.j. : and that means he 's halfway closer to deciding to publish it . carly : that 's a terrible idea . todd : no it 's a great idea . give me back my phone . carly : why , so you can call blair ? todd : yeah , so i can call blair . carly : and what 're you gon na tell her ? todd : that her fiancé is not who he says he is . carly : and you think she 's going to believe you , at the 11th hour , before her wedding ? todd : yeah . it 's doubtful , right ? carly : it screams `` ulterior motive `` you know ? you need to get more information before you go running your mouth off to blair . todd : good thing we have so much time . skye : the wedding 's tomorrow ? todd : now who 's sharp as a tack ? carly : hey , what do you think we should do ? téa : did n't you say tomás was going out for some last - minute errands ? blair : yeah , i did . i just did n't think it was gon na take this long . i 'm sorry . téa : for what ? blair : oh i do n't know . i 'm just being so jumpy . you know , every time he walks out that door , i -- téa : you 're afraid he wo n't walk back in it ? blair : yeah , it was stupid , huh ? téa : stupid ? considering the fact that todd kidnapped him last year and framed him for murder ? not so stupid . i know what you mean . blair : you do ? téa : my brother took off to europe to become a famous pianist . i hugged him goodbye , thinking i 'd see him later . i did n't realize then how much later it would be . blair : thank god all that cia business is behind him and he 's settled down , because i swear , téa , if i thought that every time he kissed me goodbye , there 's a possibility he could be walking out that door to some danger ... todd : we 're not gon na do anything . i 'm gon na talk to lorenzo tomás delgado alcazar all by myself . hey , it 's me . fire up the jet . we 're going to llanview . lulu : `` in order to provide optimal endometrial lining for embryo implantation , the gestational surrogate will have a series of several injections to synchronize her cycle with the mother 's . `` dante : `` implantation is performed without anesthesia . `` um ... the cervix is exposed , and a catheter is introduced into the uterus , where several embryos are implanted to ensure at least one will survive . gestational mothers should expect to carry multiples . dante : are you okay ? maxie : yeah . totally . needles are my friends , and who needs anesthesia ? my uterus ca n't wait to meet that catheter , by the way . is there more champagne ? lulu : it 's okay to be scared . maxie : i am not scared . what do they mean `` multiples `` ? lulu : okay , this is , like , the biggest favor that you would ever do for us . dante : well , you know , `` favor `` does n't quite cut it . lulu : it 's like the greatest gift that we would ever receive . but you wo n't have to be the one to give it to us . maxie : i want to . lulu : you 're gon na be pregnant . that 's bigger than your feelings for spinelli . that 's bigger than your friendship with me . it 's bigger than anything you or i have ever done , so ... you need to be sure . can you really do this ? spinelli : so you still want to move out , even though i ... want nothing to do with maxie -- i mean , romantically speaking . ellie : yeah , but maxie still wants something to do with you , and how do i know she 's not gon na make another attempt to reclaim your heart ? spinelli : well , you know what , even if she makes an attempt , it wo n't matter . ellie : damian , i just think it 's what 's best for all of us , including maxie . i mean , without us always around reminding her what could have been , then maybe she 'll be more inclined to move on . spinelli : where will you go ? i ca n't imagine you have another apartment just lined up . ellie : no . i mean , this is sort of all a spur - of - the - moment decision . but i do have a solution that i think you might like . spinelli : really ? what ? ellie : well , i could move in to your office with you . t.j. : molly lansing davis , best - selling author . sounds good to me . molly : stop . i doubt mr. manning will even make it to the end , let alone actually publish it . t.j. : no , no , this is gon na be fine . molly : what is ? t.j. : well , you know , i 've never really been arm candy before . molly : [ laughs ] arm candy ? t.j. : yeah , i mean , every famous person needs a hot date , right ? i 'm yours . todd : let 's see him lie his way out of this one . carly : okay . you 're really gon na go after tomás ? skye : i , for one , think it 's the only thing to do . if lila rae 's father 's alive , i want to know . todd : well , thank you . skye : so i 'm going with you . todd : oh , no , thank you . skye : todd , i know everything about lorenzo . you need me . carly : i 'm sure as hell gon na go . i was married to the man . skye : `` for a minute , `` and that 's a direct quote . carly : i 'll know lorenzo alcazar the second i lay eyes on him , and someone needs to be there so you guys do n't kill each other . todd : girls , you can both go . it 'll be totally worth it to see the look on his face when he sees you two . it 's gon na be even better when i see the look on blair 's face when i tell her that mr. `` better than everybody , especially todd `` is n't who he says he is . téa : so you 're really , truly over todd ? blair : he did n't make it easy , i 'll tell you that much . i went to port charles the last time to see starr 's performance . téa : mm - hmm . blair : todd asked me to marry him , ring and all . téa : [ sighs ] of course he did . blair : yeah , and i 'd be lying to you if i ... did n't have to admit that he stirred up a lot of old feelings . but that was way before i found out about everything that he did to you , of course . téa : so how did you shut down all of those old feelings ? blair : i just -- i thought about tomás , you know ? and everything that we have and how great our relationship is . it has no drama . it 's so easy , he 's so honest , and that 's what i want , you know ? it 's what i want the rest of my life to be like , so ... yeah . todd is officially behind me . téa : mm . and not between us anymore . we can now connect in a better way -- as sisters - in - law . blair : yes ! and as two women that love your brother . connie : gon na be sorry when i call the cops . think you got that backwards , genius . sonny : when you tell them what happened here , i swear , i will just mind my own business , and you just charged in here and tried to kill me . connie : really ? sonny : try me , connie . connie : well , you know what , sonny ? i got witnesses . i got shawn , i got max , and that rent - a - shrink you hired . sonny : you think they 're gon na really speak against me ? my reputation may not be great , but i 'll tell you what -- yours is worse . no one 's gon na take your word over mine . no one . connie : if you try this again , you 're gone . sonny : whatever . [ sighs ] i was so , so close . i could -- i could touch it . and then you walked in . i ca n't believe it . spinelli : i am humbled that you would want to spend such extended and continuous time with me , but i 'm not sure my office would be ... practical or comfortable , for that matter . ellie : less comfortable than living with a woman who still loves my boyfriend or a woman whom my boyfriend used to love ? spinelli : okay . point taken . but can i just repeat that ? i have no interest in maxie whatsoever . and as for her feelings , her feelings are ephemeral at best . i mean , she does n't know the meaning of persistence or constancy . she 's a -- she 's a flitterer . ellie : [ chuckles ] you really think so ? spinelli : yes . a couple of weeks , she will have forgotten about me , flitted on to something new . maxie : i swear to you , i 'm not doing this to forget about spinelli . i want to help give you guys the family that you deserve . like , look at that right there -- you did n't even have to look at her . you just knew where her hand was . if it was n't so cute , it would be really annoying . to be a part of a love like that , in any way -- lulu : an enormous way . maxie : i 'd be honored . so , bring on the needles , the exposed cervix , quadruplets , triplets , whatever it is . i can handle it . t.j. : boom ! thought we should celebrate . molly : but nothing 's even happened yet . t.j. : you wrote a book , molly . i call that something . but , be honest , though -- am i the last one to read it or what ? molly : no , i told you . only starr and her father have even seen it . t.j. : so your mom , sisters , no ? molly : they have no idea . t.j. : do n't you want to let them in on it ? molly : no . until mr. manning says it 's good enough to publish , which he probably wo n't ... t.j. : hey , do n't run yourself into the ground . molly : i am going to make sure no one else knows my book exists . connie : scarface , you here ? thank god . now i can eat in peace . [ sighs ] `` love in maine `` ? by molly lansing davis . get out . [ chuckles ] teen emo angst . just what the doctor ordered . sonny : if i just had a little more time with connie , i 'm telling you , kate would be here right now . i mean , i was -- i 'm telling you -- michael : it 's my fault she 's not ? sonny : no . i 'm just telling you that i was close -- michael : if kate retreated or whatever you want to call it , it 's not because of me , okay ? it 's because of what you were doing to connie . sonny : michael , why are we having this conversation ? michael : i 'm sorry , but , dad , you have no one to blame but yourself . blair : i love this . i 'm gon na cherish it for always . thank you , i ca n't believe you made it . téa : i know you 'll cherish it . hey , you know something ? blair : hmm . téa : i 've always wanted a sister . blair : well , now you got one . hasta mañana . téa : muy bien . blair : and you tell your brother i can not wait to be his wife , okay ? téa : i 'll do that . blair : okay . what the hell ? todd : we 're here to stop the wedding .

emily : elizabeth . elizabeth : yeah ? emily : do you like this here ? elizabeth : does n't really make a difference . no one 's going to be looking at the flowers . they 're all going to be staring at the beautiful bride . emily : thanks . oh , i ca n't stop smiling . elizabeth : really ? because i had n't noticed . emily : you know , i know the fact is that nikolas could be going to prison for a long time and we wo n't have a honeymoon and he 'll be back in custody by morning , but i 'm getting married today to the man i love , and that 's all that matters . [ scene_break ] lucky : on the positive , you wo n't be hung over on your wedding . on the negative , you did n't have a bachelor party last night . nikolas : oh , you can owe it to me , ok ? lucky : oh , yeah ? yeah , anytime ? nikolas : yeah . lucky : you nervous ? nikolas : i 've never been more sure of anything in my life . [ scene_break ] ric : you surprise me , ms. baines . i thought that when alexis moved up kristina 's custody hearing that you were going to object . jordan : i have ample time to prepare . ric : if you think this case is going to be easy , you are sadly mistaken . jordan : the only thing i need to do to secure mr. corinthos ' custody is to prove alexis is an unfit mother . i do n't foresee that as a problem . [ scene_break ] john : feeling better , steven ? no aftereffects from saving carly in that fire in ric lansing 's apartment ? steven : no . i 'm back on the job and ready to go . john : oh , yeah ? what job would that be ? would that be doctor , forensics expert , or freelance traitor ? man , do n't bother denying it . i know that you told carly that i stole the file incriminating sonny . i know . steven : i would never do that to you , john . john : you know , steven , i make a much better friend than i do an enemy , but you 're going to have to find that out on your own . in the meantime , i just wanted to let you know that your backstabbing did n't work . i 've denied everything , and carly believes me . [ scene_break ] john 's voice : i 'm sorry to disappoint you , but i ca n't help you , lansing . i ca n't hand over a file that 's supposed to incriminate sonny if i never had it to begin with . ric 's voice : there 's no reason to lie , all right ? you wanted me to go after sonny so you would n't get your hands dirty and possibly -- [ tape stops ] carly : my father 's telling the truth . he did not steal the file . [ scene_break ] edward : well , it 's really nothing to get excited about . skye probably took herself for a day at the spa . monica : the spa ? edward : yeah . why not ? monica : how did you come up with that ? edward : well , she 's been out of prison for a while . she 's been cleared of murdering that detective . i think it makes sense to celebrate , no ? alan : nobody has seen skye for an entire day . are n't you the slightest bit concerned ? edward : no , no , i do n't think so . skye can take care of herself . whenever she wants to get in touch with us , she will when she 's ready . alan : well , somebody has to say this . it may as well be me . maybe skye fell off the wagon . edward : that 's not what happened , and i forbid you to bring it up again . monica : ok , then you come up with another explanation . edward : well , maybe she went with luke . i mean , he 's given her a taste of adventure . maybe they went white - water rafting or something . monica : ok , ok . since you 're obviously sticking your head in the sand about skye , you 're probably not going to be any help at all with emily . edward : emily does n't need any help . alan : what are you talking about ? she 's about to marry a confessed murderer . edward : have the marriage annulled , end of story . monica : end of conversation . i ca n't listen to this . alan : i want a complete list of all your medications . there is something seriously wrong with you . luke : hey -- you would n't be trying to call the cops , now , would you ? edward : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? heather took skye out of here with an ice pick in her throat , and we have n't heard from her since . you want me to sit around , do nothing ? luke : edward , i thought we already had this conversation . you 're not listening to me . if you call the cops , you get them involved ; it 's only going to be worse for skye . [ scene_break ] skye : help -- help . help . heather : you 're wasting your time , skye . no one can hear you but me . skye : luke and edward know you took me . you 'll never get away with this , heather . heather : there you go , calling me heather again . skye : that 's your name . you tried to kill edward . heather : edward quartermaine ? why would i do that ? skye : he 's your husband . you want his money . heather : you are so out of touch with reality , skye . my husband is n't edward . it 's luke . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , em , do you remember when we were younger and how we 'd fantasize about what our weddings would be like ? emily : yeah . i always wanted a full church wedding . and for the honeymoon , my husband and i would board a sailboat and we 'd sail around the entire world for a year . and , obviously , the second half of that fantasy wo n't come true . elizabeth : you have the right to be disappointed , em . emily : oh , but i 'm not , elizabeth , because the wedding itself is n't important , you know ? and neither is the honeymoon or being carried over the threshold or what color napkin rings i choose for the table . what matters is how i feel about him . elizabeth : but you know there are extenuating circumstances in helena 's death . nikolas could receive a light sentence . emily : i know . i 'm not going to think about the future , you know . i 'm marrying the love of my life today , and i intend to enjoy every minute of it . elizabeth : yeah , that was the other part of the dream -- that every girl would find her one true love , that magical person that would keep her happy for the rest of her life . not everyone finds him , em . and those who do do n't always make the most of it . but you did . you made the dream come true . [ scene_break ] nikolas : thanks . lucky : i always thought i was going to be married before you . nikolas : i wish you had . i was counting on you to give me your advice . lucky : you know , i wonder sometimes what it would have been like if i married elizabeth . nikolas : yeah . lucky : you know , but what 's the point ? i mean , life moves forward , not backward . [ scene_break ] alexis : i most certainly am not going to defend my capabilities as a mother to you , but understand this -- making slanderous accusations will not win you a custody suit . jordan : you knowingly kept kristina 's father from her life , and you continued to lie even after she fell ill . alexis : her biological father is exposed to violence on a daily basis . i had no intention of exposing my daughter to that until i absolutely have to . jordan : children have a right to know both of their parents . ric : ok , that 's enough . we 're not trying this case today . jordan : well , my client might still be willing to compromise kristina 's custody , but i suggest you hurry , because you 're running out of time . alexis : i did n't mean to lure her into an argument . ric : that 's all right , i understand . alexis : i just want this to be over . ric : well , i think there 's a way to make it go faster . maybe you should just forget staging this big change of heart at the hearing , where sonny relinquishes custody of kristina . use the evidence now and force him to give her up and do n't go to court . [ scene_break ] ric 's voice : all right , you wanted me to go after sonny so you would n't get your hands dirty and possibly alienate your daughter . john 's voice : that 's an interesting theory . of course , i still have n't seen anything in the way of proof . ric 's voice : ok , this is the way it 's going to boil down . you either find a copy of that file or i 'm going to charge your daughter with arson . [ tape stops ] carly : look , sonny , john tried to talk ric out of using that file against you . i was there . i heard him . jason : carly , he was doing it for your benefit . sonny : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . carly : jason , you heard ric say that he was going to charge me with arson , right , but what you did n't hear is that john lied for me . he swore that i was with him the night of the fire . i mean , does that sound like a man who 's going to use his daughter to go after her husband and put him in jail ? sonny : he 's a federal prosecutor , carly . that always comes first . carly : sonny , i just -- i do n't think he did this . jason : because he has ric do all his dirty work for him . carly : jason -- i ca n't be that wrong about him . sonny : meyer told me the whole story . durant stole the file , made copies , and forced meyer to come back here and plant the original one . jason : and then durant turned his copy of the file over to ric , carly . sonny : your father has been playing you , carly , from the minute he came to port charles . [ scene_break ] heather : luke and i are magic . always were , always will be . and you thought you could come between us . skye : you 're not laura . heather : i 'm the woman luke has adored his whole life . you threatened to take that away from me . i had to get rid of you . skye : you killed ross duncan just to incriminate me . how could you do something like that ? heather : all you had to do was stay in prison but , no , you had to break out and ruin everything . well , that was your last chance . skye : huh ? heather : believe me , it wo n't happen this time . [ scene_break ] edward : do you realize that you have dragged skye from one misadventure to another , put her in jeopardy time and time again , and for what ? so you could have company while you search the world for laura ? luke : no , you 're wrong , edward , and speaking of misadventures , how about your blissful little marriage to lizzie borden , huh ? [ phone rings ] luke : hello . heather ? is that you ? heather : why does everyone keep asking me about heather ? it 's me , laura . luke : oh . hi , dreamboat . i wo n't make that mistake again . heather : i 've been waiting for you , luke . when are you coming back to me ? luke : i 'll be there soon . i just need to talk to skye first , and then i can finalize my plans . heather : tell him you 're all right . skye : please , come get me . heather : there . you happy ? as usual , skye 's trying to manipulate you into being with her . luke : well , that 's not going to happen , angel . not at all . it 's just you and me now . all you have to do is tell me where you are and i 'll come right over . heather : oh , wait , i do n't want you to come here . we need to go someplace more romantic for our reunion . luke : ok , then just name the place . heather : meet me where we were the happiest we 've ever been in our lives . luke : ok . can you narrow that down for me ? a building , a street , a -- [ phone disconnects ] luke : hello ? edward : what -- well , what the hell 's going on ? is skye all right ? where 's she being hidden ? luke : it sounded to me like skye was drugged . i tried -- i could n't -- edward : i 'll trace the damn call . luke : now , edward -- now , listen , heather is completely gone here . if we push her , we 're putting laura and skye 's lives in danger . do n't you get that ? edward : what the hell do we do next ? luke : well , heather gave me some kind of a clue about where she wants to meet me . i 'll try to figure that out . you just stay here , and do n't tell anybody about what 's going on . edward : spencer , i ca n't stand around here doing nothing . luke : i know . i understand . but you got to . for some reason known only to her , heather has fixated on me . we just have to see how this thing plays out . it 's the only way -- the only way to get skye back safe . [ scene_break ] alexis : sonny needs to say what he needs to say in court . that way it 'll be on the record and he ca n't recant it . ric : yeah , assuming sonny holds up his end of the bargain . alexis : if he does n't , he knows that i 'm going to turn the file over to you . ric : ok , exactly my point . you told sonny that you were going to destroy that file when he relinquished custody of kristina . the truth is you 're going to hand it to me so that i can prosecute him . what makes you think sonny is n't going to foresee you 're going to double - cross him ? alexis : he wants the evidence destroyed , and he believes that 's the only way to get it done . ric : sonny is not going to stand by his word when his only daughter is at stake . alexis : we need this to settle in court , we need to protect kristina , and he needs to do the right thing , because that 's the only way that kristina will ever be safe .

[ scene_break ] hayden : because shawn pled guilty , the case was closed , but i think there was more to it . curtis : can i get another shot , please ? hayden : it 's barely noon . curtis : true . make that a beer instead . and some more peanuts , please . hayden : what am i doing here ? you 're not even listening to me . [ scoffs ] curtis : you got shot in the head . shawn confessed . now he 's in prison . only shawn ai n't shoot you . someone else did , and you want me to find that someone . does that about sum it up ? hayden : thank you . as a matter of fact , no . i know who shot me . or who wanted me shot . curtis : so what am i here for ? hayden : to get me evidence . get me proof that someone else besides shawn shot me , and i will handle the rest .

[ chuckles ] sam : thanks for doing this . jason : oh , absolutely . it 's great to see them together . sam : was it hard for you ? yesterday , thanksgiving with the quartermaines . jason : [ sighs ] no harder than being with anybody else who knew me in my past life . sam : seems like everywhere you go there 's someone who remembers who you were , and i know all you want to do is start over . jason : you okay with that ? sam : yeah , i -- i want you to be happy . jason : i want the same for you . uh , i 'm trying to see diane miller today , see if she ca n't help me tie up some loose ends . sam : [ chuckles ] our life . our marriage . jason : it 's not -- i ... i did n't mean it to sound so callous . sam : it 's , uh ... it does n't . actually , patrick and i came to the same conclusion . it really is n't doing anybody any good dragging our marriage behind us . no one can really move on , so [ exhales ] i think it 's time for a divorce . and you do n't have to worry . i 'm not gon na give you any trouble . jason : [ chuckles ] why do i get the feeling this is the first time you said those words to me and actually meant them ? oh , well . see you later . sam : yeah . see you around . [ scene_break ] patrick : i ca n't really say i 'm that surprised that jason is following through with divorcing sam . we had a little conversation last night when sam brought danny by to see monica . elizabeth : he did n't mention any of that to me . patrick : maybe everything he needed to say was to me . elizabeth : and that was ? patrick : sam is jason 's friend , but he belongs with you . i just wish i was certain that sam felt the same way .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : must we do this again , mother ? i note for the record your concerns about hayden 's reliability . laura : yeah . and do n't you have some concerns ? nikolas : no . no . laura : even after you found out that she feigned memory loss , she wormed her way into your house , she 's been lying to you for months -- does n't that give you pause ? nikolas : of course , it does . but i assure you that i have done my due diligence . laura : better than you did with your last girlfriend ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] i 'd rather not get into that right now if at all possible . laura : i 'm just saying i think you let your feelings for britt westbourne cloud your judgment . and i would hate to see history repeat itself here with hayden . [ scene_break ] curtis : i think you 're confused . you 've definitely got me twisted 'cause it sounds like you need the cops . honey , i ai n't no cop . hayden : i definitely do not want to introduce the police into the situation . curtis : oh , yeah ? why not ? hayden : do n't -- you ca n't smoke that in here . you know that . we 're trying to avoid attention , not get it . and the same thing goes for the cops . keep them out of it . they 'd want to throw the guy who ordered me shot in a jail , and i have something else in mind . curtis : hm , yeah , see , i do n't think i particularly like the way that sounds . i 'm not trying to be an accessory to anything that 's gon na have me switching places with shawn up in pentonville . hayden : relax , relax . it is nothing like that . all you 're going to get is your money . so what do you think ? do we have a deal ? my money will buy a lot cigars .

[ scene_break ] ava : are you sure about this arrangement ? paul : i 've been dealing with raj a very long time . he 's a very cautious man . plus , he represents some very wealthy interests . this is our business , ava . ava : you keep talking about our business , but you do n't say what our business is . paul : we 're in international shipping . does the nature of what we ship really matter ? ava : [ inhales sharply ] no , i suppose not . as long as it helps to topple sonny . i just dropped avery off with him at the hospital . it would n't break my heart if i did n't have to share her with him anymore . paul : if we make this venture a success , sonny will be long gone before avery 's old enough to remember him .

[ scene_break ] sam : are n't you taking a big risk calling for a tow ? sonny : i trust these people . the bigger risk is trying to get away on foot . sam : so now what ? we just wait and pray the cops do n't show up now ? sonny : yeah , that 's right . sam : no offense , but are n't you the kingpin ? do n't you normally have guys doing the shooting for you ? i 've seen that guy 's picture on the news before . lorenzo something , right ? big south american drug -- well , anyway , whatever . it does n't matter . it 's none of my business what you 're into . sonny : alcazar kidnapped my wife . watched her . stalked her for months . sam : so you gun him down . it seems a little extreme . sonny : he had to be dealt with . sam : there 's no other ways to make him back off ? sonny : it 's complicated . sam : yeah , only if your wife likes the guy back . is that why you said she betrayed you ? [ scene_break ] luke : hmm . one of the cards got stuck between the floorboards here . and when i 'm pulling it out , i notice the floorboard was a little loose , so i pried it open and i 'll be damned -- there 's a half million in cash . skye : i wonder who left it here . luke : i do n't know . helena cassadine had the boat for a while . it 's definitely her style to leave a fortune under floorboards . skye : well , let me guess . you 're not going to return it to her any time soon . luke : return it ? why ? skye : well , what about sam ? luke : what about her ? this has nothing to do with her . that money 's mine and there 's enough there to transform this rubble into a glorious gambling palace . skye : wow . maybe those cards are lucky after all . luke : i 'm a believer . skye : so , the financing 's all taken care of . luke : yeah , you 're off the hook . you do n't have to dip into your funds at all . skye : well , that 's good news . luke : you know , i think we 're going to put the dead man 's hand right there . we 're just going to mount them over the door so the people can look at them as they leave , realizing they 've left their money at the tables . ho - ho ! i feel like celebrating ! will you join me ? skye : you know , i need to take care of something first , ok ? luke : ok . ok . [ luke laughs ] luke : oh ! thank you ! [ scene_break ] lorenzo : sonny corinthos shot me four times in the chest . if carly had n't warned me , you 'd be measuring me for a coffin . now he 's taken an innocent woman at gunpoint . brian : you 're not going to use the police to do your dirty work . lorenzo : i expect you to do your job . you got an armed fugitive on the loose . stop him . brian : do you know where your brother would go ? i guess if you did , you probably would n't tell me , right ? courtney : i do n't know where sonny would go . he does n't confide in me about that sort of thing . brian : courtney , i do n't mean to put you on the spot here , but the best way to protect sonny is to end this now . there 's an innocent woman in the middle of all this . courtney : i really do n't see how i can help you . brian : look , why do n't you go home and call me if sonny contacts you . courtney : i ca n't . brian : and why , because i 'm the police ? is that why you ca n't tell me ? courtney : no . because i do n't live there anymore . [ scene_break ] jason : why 'd you call alcazar ? carly : because you would n't promise to stop sonny and i did n't want him to commit a murder . jason : so you wanted -- you wanted to save alcazar ? carly : no , i wanted to save sonny from himself . jason : did it occur to you that alcazar might ambush sonny ? carly : no , i told him to leave ! jason : ok . carly , look , i know you better than anyone -- that you 're walking around in a life that you do n't understand right now , but alcazar kidnapped you . he stalked you ; he paid a hooker to impersonate lily and drive sonny out of his mind . so why -- why could n't you see that he might ambush sonny or call the cops ? you did n't want to see sonny get shot , did you ? carly : no . no , jason , i did n't want sonny to commit a murder . i was trying to save sonny , not alcazar . [ scene_break ] sonny : my wife was shot . she suffered a head injury . she remembers everything , you know -- her family , her friends , everything she 's ever done , but the connection is gone . she says it 's like looking at the pictures of somebody else 's life . sam : will she recover ? sonny : i do n't think it matters . alcazar 's been after her for months . he even sat with her while she was unconscious . somehow , he got into her dreams . i do n't care , you know . i do n't care why it happened or why she 's so confused . she set me up . she set me up . she practically warned me she would . sam : what happened ? sonny : carly does n't -- my wife does n't feel love for me and she proved it tonight when she betrayed me . [ scene_break ] brian : you left jason ? courtney : i still love him , ok ? i always will . and i love my brother , too , but i do n't understand him or the rules he lives by . sonny knows that , so he wo n't be contacting me . brian : courtney , i know how much you want to protect your nephews . courtney : you 're right , i do . brian : but do n't forget to protect yourself , ok ? if you 're ever scared or in trouble , you can always call me . courtney : if you 're implying that jason could ever hurt me , you 're wrong . brian : i 'm not implying anything . courtney : jason is a good man and he loves me . together or apart , nothing 's ever going to change that . [ scene_break ] jason : i get that you 're confused and you know what ? i 'm sure that you had good intentions . but how much is sonny supposed to take ? he 's the one who put you in this coma . i mean , he 's been living -- he 's on the edge right now carly , and then one day , you tell him that you do n't love him and that you do love alcazar . carly : i said i loved who alcazar was in the dream . that is completely different , jason . jason : what -- you think loving alcazar in a dream is different than real life ? whatever . i do n't care what the difference is and you know sonny 's not going to know . carly : do you know where he is ? jason : yeah , i got some ideas . carly : you wo n't tell me , though ? jason : no , i 'm not going to tell you because i do n't want to put you in the position that you 're going to tell anyone else or go after him . carly : right , but i did n't get a chance to explain to him what was going -- jason : he does n't want to hear it ! he 's not going to want to hear it , carly ! carly : fine . jason : just -- you know what ? just let this play out . ok ? whatever happens next is up to sonny . [ scene_break ] sam : maybe you 're looking into this all wrong . carly did something to hurt you , but you 're looking into it . you 're -- you 're assuming the worst . sonny : i know what happened . sam : maybe you 're the one carly really cares about , not this guy alcazar . she tried to explain that to you , but you could n't hear because you already decided she betrayed you . sonny : oh , what , so now you 're making all kinds of assumptions , is that right ? sam : hey , i heard her telling you that she did n't call the police . sonny : i do n't care about the police . she warned my enemy . sam : so you 're not big on logic or explanations , are you ? sonny : i know what i saw . sam : all right . stop me if i get something wrong , ok ? your wife gets shot in the head . while she 's in a coma -- sonny : yeah . sam : she dreams about another guy . sonny : my enemy , right . sam : ok , like she gets a vote on who she dreams about while in a coma . anyway , she wakes up -- sonny : right . sam : understandably confused . she tells you the truth , which seems to me like a really sincere effort to try to be honest here . sonny : honesty about thinking and loving another man . sam : in her dreams . it 's not like she 's dating the guy . sonny : i would n't -- i would n't be too sure at this point . sam : ok . all right , this explains a lot . you are obviously fanatically jealous and possessive , which explains why , when your wife told you the truth about her completely innocent dreams , your solution was to get a gun and shoot alcazar ? do you have any kids ? sonny : two . sam : ok . hear me out . you got a wife , two kids , and you 're going to commit murder on a street corner in front of god knows how many witnesses . never mind the moral objections . they send people to prison for life for that . sometimes , you get the lethal injection . sonny : you 're defending her now ? sam : well , what if carly 's defending you ? did she try and stop you from going after alcazar ? sonny : of course she did , because she 's tried to save his life before . and now , you know , she wants the -- the bastard alive . sam : or maybe she wants you free . did you ever think of that ? if the only way to prevent a murder is to get the potential victim out of town , that is what you do . no alcazar , no murder . now you 're just a guy with a gun in a really bad mood , correct ? sonny : well , that 's not how it worked out . alcazar showed up with a bulletproof vest . cops were ready to ambush me . i could have died . but who -- right ? so who cares about that ? nobody ? huh ? sam : well , maybe alcazar just called the cops . sonny : i do n't care who called the cops ! does n't matter who called the cops ! what matters is she called him ! sam : oh . ok , i get it . you want carly to be wrong . you think if you stop loving her , you 'll stop hurting , too . hmm . trust me , it does n't work that way . [ scene_break ] jax : come in . i do n't care how many investigators you have to put on this . i want you to find sonny corinthos and bring sam mccall back safely . skye : jax , try not to worry about sam . she knows how to take care of herself . jax : that 's an understatement . skye : i almost feel sorry for sonny . jax : yeah , you got to love the irony of this . sam finally gets the cards and she gets taken hostage . skye : sam did n't have the cards when she was taken hostage . jax : what , did she hide them somewhere ? skye : she gave them away to a homeless man who happened to be luke , but she did n't know that at the time . she said the cards did n't bring her any luck . i do n't even know why i 'm even telling you this . i think sam is nothing but a manipulative little gold - digging -- she was n't after the cards this time . i think she was after you . i think sam really cares about you , jax . and i think you really care about her , too . jason : all right . check the safe houses . see if sonny 's using one of those . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : brr . hi . jason : hey . elizabeth : how are you ? jason : you know , i 'm all right . elizabeth : she just took her suitcase upstairs . jason : who ? elizabeth : your wife . she just rented a room from bobbie . i thought you were here to see her .

[ scene_break ] skye : sam sabotaged your car so she could get those cards to gamble with . neither of you knew that your father was so close to dying . sam did n't want to hurt john . jax : well , why -- why are you defending her ? you do n't even like her . skye : i saw the look in your eye when you heard that sam was taken hostage . i heard the tone in your voice when you were hiring someone to track her down . jax : no , no -- no , i 'm just worried about her . that does n't mean i 'm in love with her . skye : are you saying that you 're not ? jax , for some crazy , sentimental reason , i want you to be happy and though it pains me to admit it , i think sam is just what you need . jax : wow . that 's -- that 's quite a theory . skye : look , come on . i know you probably do n't feel like you 're ready to fall in love again . jax : yeah , that 's right , i 'm not . in fact , i 'd rather just skip it altogether . skye : love is n't something that we can control or plan or that comes to us wrapped up in a neat little bow . i know that you 've been hurt in the past -- by brenda , by me . i know it 's too late to fix what went wrong , but are you saying that it 's really too late for you and sam ? are you sure that a week from now or a month or a year from now that you 're not going to see the terrible mistake that you made ? jax : you know me pretty well , do n't you ? skye : are n't you the original risk taker , jax ? hmm ? and is n't love the biggest risk of them all ? come on , put aside that suspicion and pride and give sam another chance . jax : i might if i can find out where sonny 's taken her . [ scene_break ] sonny : i told you i 'm not going to kill you . why do you give a damn what happens to my wife ? sam : there was something i wanted so badly i was willing to do anything to get it and that included hurting somebody that i really cared about . he says i betrayed him and he 's right . i did . and now i 'll probably never get him back and it 's exactly what i deserve . sonny : well , i 'm sorry about that , but it does n't really -- sam : are you listening to a word that i 'm trying to say right now ? i 'm trying to tell you that i recognize betrayal when i see it , and your wife did n't betray you . carly fought for you . she did n't care about herself or her own safety . all she wanted was to protect you . she proved that to you tonight . do n't make the same mistake that i made . you -- you 've got something really special -- a woman you love who loves you back . do n't just throw that away , ok ? [ scene_break ] lorenzo : i 'm here to see carly . max : no visitors . lorenzo : i want to talk to her . max : look , get out of here now . lorenzo : ask carly what she wants . [ knock on door ] carly : let him in , max . he wo n't be staying long . max : you got it . carly : stay close . why are you here ? lorenzo : i want to explain what i did and why . carly : you set up sonny after i called to warn you . i tried to stop your murder and you went ahead and -- lorenzo : you saved my life . carly : yeah , and you called the cops , and you let them know so sonny could be killed or arrested . lorenzo : why did you call me in the first place ? carly : you were supposed to leave town . lorenzo : is that what you really wanted ? carly : yes . lorenzo : well , i found out you and sonny left town together . next thing i know , he 's coming after me to kill me . so you want to tell me what happened ? the two of you have an argument ? what was it about ? carly : i told sonny the dream . he knows the truth now . lorenzo : and what 's that , carly ? why was he coming after me again ? what did you say to him ? carly : i told him that i dreamed about you and those feelings are still with me . [ scene_break ] skye : what 's this ? some kind of celebration ? luke : i think so . sparkling water for you . skye : oh . luke : champagne for me . skye : well , to the dead man 's hand . luke : i think you 're toasting in the wrong direction . skye : ooh -- are you sure it 's ok to keep them in public display like that ? luke : it 's a temporary situation . skye : well , still , a lot of not - so - nice people went to great lengths to get those pieces of cardboard . luke : i ai n't worried . something tells me wild bill himself is watching out over us . skye : so , luke spencer , you certainly have it all -- the cards , the boat , the gambling rights , and the bankroll . luke : but i 'm missing something very important . skye : what ? paying customers ? luke : a hostess . somebody to greet the people and not just anybody 's going to do . i mean , i need a woman with flair , style , intelligence , humor , and flaming red hair that i can see all the way across a crowded room . so what do you say ? you interested ? skye : you 're asking me to hostess ? luke : if you do n't have any problems with multitasking . skye : multitasking ? luke : yeah , it would be partner / hostess . skye : partner ? luke : yeah . of course , a percentage has to go out for sam , because she has legal claim on the boat , but -- what do you say ? skye : well , i say you got yourself a deal , partner . luke : great . [ scene_break ] courtney : i still love you , jason . that 's not the issue . it 's just i -- i ca n't handle the life that you live , what you think of as being right and wrong . i mean , i saw you stand aside while -- while you let sonny wreck not only himself , but carly and michael and morgan . i do n't know how to compromise on that . jason : is n't that what marriage is all about ? i know things are n't always perfect . sometimes -- sometimes people disagree , they get mad . but if they love each other , you know , they find a way to hold on through the rough spots . courtney : this is more than a rough spot , jason . this is your life and your work and the way that you want to be and i do n't want to change you , but i just do n't fit in . jason : so you made up your mind ? courtney : i just -- i need time to sort through it all , decide what 's best for me .

[ scene_break ] man : search him . cooperate -- lulu : whoa ! whoa ! man : or we shoot the girl . lulu : ooh . that 's so tough of you and manly and brave to threaten a girl . you guys are going to be so sorry . tell them . tell them they 're sorry . man : that 's it ? second man : that 's it . lulu : you did n't bring your gun ? man : where 's spinelli ? lulu : spinelli went straight to the cops , and they 're going to be coming back here -- jason : ok , spinelli was -- is running scared . we do n't know where he is , all right ? he took off . man : well , i 'm not taking any chances . you 're both going to disappear tonight .

[ scene_break ] sonny : families are affected by this business no matter how hard you try to keep them safe . skye : that 's why i 'm trying to break the cycle of violence . sonny : yeah ? is that why you told alcazar jason was alive ? jason calls his mother on thanksgiving just to reassure her , and you were there with the quartermaines -- the people who welcome you into their home , treat you like family , tell you secrets -- and you betrayed them . and now , alcazar has stepped up his search for jason . skye : lorenzo 's in south america burying his son . sonny : yeah , yeah . that 's an alibi . skye : he 's paying a terrible price for the choices that he made . sonny : yeah , i 'm sure he 's going to make a lot of other people pay . you are an intelligent woman . why do n't you understand that ? [ scene_break ] sam : just because you helped jason -- elizabeth : i saved his life . sam : that 's what you do for a living . it does n't mean that you share some big , deep connection . elizabeth : that 's right -- we had that before you came into the picture . sam : really ? did you have that before you showed up at his doorstep for meaningless sex that night ? elizabeth : oh , no , you do n't get to decide what that night meant for us , especially given what you were doing at the time . you know , jason and i share a long history whether you like it or not , and i care about him , and it concerns me that he continues to put his life on the line to save you from your own bad judgment . sam : no , ric framed me . he set me up to get to jason . elizabeth : well , then if you knew that , why could n't you just sit in jail for a couple more days and actually give jason a chance to prove that you had been framed ? no , instead you had to escape , which made jason come after you , and now you 're both targets . you know how dangerous ric is and yet you played right into his hands . sam : well , at least i did n't marry him . elizabeth : oh . huh . well , i never said i did n't make mistakes . i just do n't expect jason to risk his life to clean them up . sam : no , you just want to be a part of his life , which is beyond pathetic since you 're pregnant by lucky , who -- correct me if i 'm wrong -- happens to be your husband ? elizabeth : i would n't even have to be here right now if you were n't so incredibly selfish . sam : no , you do not get to make that -- elizabeth : you constantly put yourself in danger so jason has to come after you to prove he still loves you , even though you betrayed him . [ scene_break ] lulu : it 's a lot harder than it looks . jason : it does n't help that you 're drunk . lulu : what was i supposed to do , let them shoot spinelli ? jason : is that what they told you ? lulu : well , first , they gave us the bottle , and it was like , `` ok , we 'll drink this because we wo n't be so scared , and then maybe it wo n't hurt so much when they , you know . `` but then they got really rude about it , and i could n't let them shoot spinelli 's brains out , so i drink it . but if i ever make it out of here alive , i will never , ever drink tequila again , ever . i need , like , scissors or a knife . jason : no , no , no , no . do n't bother . no . lulu : no , no , it 's no trouble . there 's something sharp around here . jason : no , no , you do n't need anything sharp , ok ? that 's a bad idea . lulu : hey , this is the only idea that i have , ok ? i did n't ask to be here . i did n't even know spinelli . he 's some kid that walks around the english department . and all i wanted was to -- my mom lost her mind again . do you know my mom ? she started to get better . but what she did , she did n't do , and i promised that i would tell her that she 's innocent , and -- jason : ok , ok , i just -- i need you to pay attention , ok ? lulu : why are you being so mean to me when i 'm trying to help ? jason : just sit down . lulu : what kind of rescue is this anyway ? you 're supposed to be some sort of tough guy , and you 're sitting with your hands there . jason : i 'm -- i 'm only here because someone heard you screaming because you tried to escape , right ? lulu : i tricked them , and we almost made it out , but -- but i got -- they brought us back . jason : ok , that 's -- you 're going to have to be faster this time , all right ? lulu : excuse me , but one of us is tied up and does not look good , and one of us does n't , so -- jason : ok , i want you to focus ! sit down . listen to me , you 're going to have one shot to save your own life . ok ? when alcazar 's men come in , i 'm going to create a diversion , and i want you to run out of this warehouse and straight to the cops .

[ scene_break ] alfred : stay away from this door . [ scene_break ] emily : carrots . raspberries . sauvignon blanc . grilled chicken . how did alfred know how to pack all of my favorites ? huh . nikolas : i say we get a little crazy and start with the crème brulee . emily : there 's crème brulee in here ? hold on . wait a second . nikolas : what ? emily : how did you know that there was crème brulee in there ? nikolas : um -- i saw it in there ? emily : yeah , i guess that would be possible if you had x - ray vision -- or if you told alfred to be sure to include it . you planned this whole thing , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] sam : you have absolutely no right to follow me here . lucky : how do you know i 'm following you ? maybe i just stopped by to see elizabeth . after all , she 's still my wife , and she 's pregnant with our child . what are you doing here ? why are you wearing scrubs ? sam : it 's a disguise , ok ? i did n't want to get followed when i came to see jason . because you 're helping him , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : it 's true . it 's true . i wanted to spend what would 've been our second anniversary with you . so i asked alfred to set it up . emily : so why did n't you just ask me ? nikolas : because i was afraid you 'd say no . [ scene_break ] alfred : why are n't you in the main house looking after young spencer ? colleen : alfred , even nannies get to take a walk sometimes . and i 'm sure i heard nikolas calling for help . alfred : oh , it 's only for dramatic effect . mr. cassadine requested i make arrangements to lock himself and miss quartermaine in the tack room , along with a sturdy white wine and a lovely picnic dinner . colleen : why would he do that ? alfred : to commemorate their second wedding anniversary . he does n't wish to be disturbed . colleen : alfred , nikolas hates it when you play matchmaker . alfred : it 's clear you have far more than a professional interest in mr. cassadine . however , i doubt that will be a problem very much longer . he will almost certainly reunite with miss quartermaine , and her first priority will be to find a nanny to replace you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i was afraid that this day would bring up all the memories of what was wrong with us , all the mistakes we made . emily : do n't even think about that . just think about spencer and the possibility that those bad times made us both stronger . maybe we had to go through all of that to get to where we are now . nikolas : and where are we now , exactly ? are we just friends or -- or are we more than that ? emily : what do you want us to be ? nikolas : a long time ago on valentine 's day , we were -- we were driving in a blizzard -- you remember . and we talked about -- we talked about the difference between friendship and -- and love . and then we decided to be -- to be friends . it was -- it was easier . i do n't know . maybe it still is . emily : but what do you want ? [ scene_break ] jax : these are some figures from a deal i did a few years ago from a takeover . they should be very helpful to dillon . georgie : thank you . thank you so much . this is exactly what he needs . i 'll make sure he attributes everything , do n't worry . jax : i hope he appreciates what you 're doing . georgie : i think he 'd like me better if i were dangling from a tree in the jungle , or if i had mysteriously disappeared overnight . jax : really ? that does n't seem like you . georgie : it 's not . i 'm sorry . i 'm actually describing lulu spencer , the drama queen of port charles . jax : oh . georgie : yeah , she 's always in some spectacular disaster , emotional or physical . yeah , sometimes she gets herself into them , sometimes they just happen , but dillon is always just drawn in . jax : yeah , the damsel in distress is pretty hard to resist . georgie : so where does that leave the rest of us -- the smart , steadfast people who know what we want to do ? i 'm so sorry . i do n't mean to talk to you about my personal life . but i 've noticed that people are always drawn to the people that are very worse for them . jax : the time - honored moth to the flame . [ scene_break ] mike : here you go , guys . dillon : thank you . carly : thank you . mike : all right . nice and fresh . carly : great . mike : yeah . carly : lulu told me what happened this summer . she got pregnant because a condom failed , and then she took the blame for lying to get you to sleep with her . dillon : uh -- she did lie . carly : you could 've said no . you could 've believed georgie . i mean , she was your wife at the time , was n't she ? dillon : yeah , but lulu had me -- carly : and then you went on sleeping with lulu several more times . then you finally went back to georgie and you let lulu take the blame for everything , so you pretty much skated through all of this . dillon : she aborted my child , carly . i would n't call that `` skating . `` carly : she had the abortion ; you did n't . she fell in love ; you did n't . she went through great lengths to be with you , and then she had to suffer the terrible consequences , did n't she ? and you still blew her off . dillon : it was n't like that , ok ? carly : you made it clear that you did n't love lulu , so she made a very difficult decision to move on with her life . but how is she supposed to move on with her life when you 're always around ? i do n't get it , dillon . you want to be her big hero and be her big protector , but every time she turns around , you 're proving to her how much you love georgie . now , that 's not fair to lulu , is it ? dillon : look , i do care about lulu , ok ? i do n't want her to get hurt again . but i 'm sorry , i still love georgie . carly : look , i know what it 's like to be in love with two people , ok ? one person is loving and trustworthy and strong , and the other is wild and dangerous , and you want them both . so you make bargains with yourself , dillon . you tell yourself that you 're going to love one and like the other , and you tell yourself that you 're going to trust one and be loyal to the other . but you 're going to get real confused , and sooner or later , you 're going to have to make a choice . dillon : i 'm sorry , are we still talking about me , or are we on to you ? carly : look , all i 'm saying is you can love lulu and you can love georgie , but you can not have them both . so have the decency to choose one .

'cause in a way , i wanted lucky to be jealous , too . robin : heh heh . did it work ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , it did . lucky and rebecca stopped seeing each other , and then later nikolas and i met up at jake 's so we can discuss what had happened , and we decided to kiss again just to see what it would be like . robin : and ? elizabeth : and i 've never been kissed like that ever . and afterwards , i could n't stop thinking about it . and i know it 's crazy , and it does n't make sense , because nikolas should be the one person that is totally off - limits to me , but i could n't help myself . and i know he feels the same way . robin : but it did n't stop there . elizabeth : well , we fought it . i mean , we made a point of not being in the same place , 'cause we were just hoping that our feelings for each other would subside . and then the night of the carnival when jake had almost been killed by the car , he came by to check on me , and we ended up kissing again . and then he left , and lucky showed up , and next thing i know , lucky 's asking me to marry him . robin : wow . you 're dealing with a lot . elizabeth : i told lucky that i needed time to think about it , so i went to nikolas , and we ended up losing control . and i thought that it was just gon na be a one - time thing , that we would realize what we had done , that we would regret it , and then we would just move on . robin : and lucky was still waiting for an answer to his proposal . elizabeth : i just thought that if i committed to lucky , that all of this with nikolas would just go away , but it did n't . my feelings just keep getting stronger . robin : do you love nikolas ? elizabeth : i love lucky , but i ca n't stop wanting nikolas .

kiki : i know this is n't exactly a norman rockwell thanksgiving , but it tastes really good . morgan : yeah , i know . i 'm just not really hungry . kiki : well , you have to eat something . morgan : i ca n't . kiki , i ca n't . i ca n't eat . i ca n't think . all i can do is worry about this baby . nina : hey , pretty girl . how 'd you get to be so pretty ? hmm ? how did that happen ? where did you get those dimples ? ah , how did you get such epic dimples ? probably from your father , right ? from your daddy . franco : nina ? did n't we have a nice , long talk about who that baby belongs to ? nina : i was n't talking about silas . silas : ava , by any chance , you check out that shower ? ava ? julian : ava ? [ sighs ] what the hell , jordan . jordan : expecting someone else ? julian : expecting ? no . i was hoping that my sister might trust me and come home . jordan : so , i guess you really do n't know where ava is , do you ? julian : no . is that why you 're here ? jordan : actually , uh , i came to talk about our boss . ned : alexis . i did n't think you 'd make it . alexis : i did n't think i would . however , there is someone that would like to see all of you . luke : did you save a slice for me ? dr. obrecht : cesar . [ sobbing ] is it really you ? faison : yes , liesl . it 's me . dr. obrecht : [ gasps ] [ sobs ] tracy : oh , my god . luke , you 're back . you 're finally back . tracy : oh , my god , luke . i have missed you so much . luke : that is so good to hear . tracy : what happened to you ? are you all right ? luke : i am now . tracy : you 've been gone for months . luke : longer . tracy : what is that supposed to mean ? luke : i 'll explain everything . but first ... hey , cupcake . do n't you want to give your old man a little hug here ? dante : hold on . before my wife welcomes you back , i think you got to answer some questions first . julian : well , as , uh , compelling a subject as our boss is , i really do n't have time for this right now because something big just went down , so if you 'll excuse me ... jordan : yeah , make time . because something big is definitely going down , present tense . julian : okay . make it quick . jordan : i just got word from our fearless leader that a major shipment of coke is coming in from colombia . yeah , and who 's responsible for moving all that product ? oh , yeah ! i am . julian : well , it 's not something you have n't done before . jordan : not with all that volume and not with all that heat , julian . all the risk is on me , okay ? so if i 'm gon na walk that line for this organization , i damn well deserve to know who the hell 's calling the shots . julian : all right , you know what ? to hell with it . you 're right . you deserve to know who 's in charge . dr. obrecht : it really is you . you 're alive . faison : yeah . i 'm very much alive . very well , too . dr. obrecht : all this time ... i thought that robert scorpio and anna devane had taken you from me . i confronted anna and demanded she own up to your murder . for almost a year , she refused to answer , tormenting me with uncertainty . faison : it 's one of our tactics , is it not ? dr. obrecht : it was only yesterday that i finally got her to confess that she had n't killed you , that all she had done was leave you to rot in a pit in the floor underneath the stables outside ! the craven inhumanity ! faison : liesl , do n't be upset . look at me . look at me . i 'm fine . i escaped . dr. obrecht : so their counterfeit stable boy said . but he was hired by robert scorpio , so i had no way i could be certain . faison : well , now you know . i spent little time in that horse prison . dr. obrecht : i 'm relieved . but , cesar ? faison : yeah ? dr. obrecht : that was a year ago . faison : yes . dr. obrecht : where have you been since then ? what have you been doing ? silas : where the hell is my phone ? hey . ava : hi . silas : why did n't you tell me you were going out ? ava : well , you were in the shower . i did n't want to bother you . silas : where 'd you go ? ava : well , we are right around the corner from an agent that used to represent franco back when he was a starving artist . franco used to go on and on about how wyatt would do anything for him . so i figured maybe he was helping franco hide nina and the baby . silas : what 'd he say ? ava : he said he has n't heard from him . silas : sorry . ava : yeah . i knew it was a long shot , but i do have some other ideas about who franco might have gone to for help . this town was chock full of francophiles once upon a time . silas : good . well , hopefully you can get a lead or two out of some of them . ava : yeah . i hope so , too . silas , you know , i ca n't thank you enough for bringing me all the way here to help me look for my baby . silas : forget about it . we share a daughter . if something like this happened to kiki , i 'd be out of my mind . ava : thank you . and if i have n't told you before ... i am so sorry that i kept her away from you for so long . silas : it 's water under the bridge , right ? you know , um , i was just -- i wanted to call the cops back home and see if they had any news , but , uh , i ca n't -- i ca n't find my phone . i have n't seen it since this morning . have you ? morgan : the police do n't have any leads . kiki , i 've never even seen her . i mean , this may be my kid , and i may never see her . kiki : no , you will . you ca n't say something like that , okay ? you have to have faith . i know that the baby is with nina , but at least franco 's with her . morgan : franco ? franco -- franco hates everything corinthos . there 's no telling what he 's gon na do to her . kiki : [ sighs ] i know that franco 's done a lot of bad stuff recently . morgan : i 'm sorry . recently ? kiki : i 'm just saying he 's always been very fatherly towards me . nina : i 'm fully aware that this baby is ava jerome 's . and that the father is papa corinthos or the young corinthos or something . i 'm fine with that . i 'm cool . everything 's cool . i 'm so cool . franco : good . good . i 'm glad to hear it . and now that you finally accepted that the baby does n't belong to you , i 've been thinking about what to do . nina : about ? franco : about the baby , nina . we need to give the baby back . nina : you want me to give this baby back ? why ? franco : because it 's not our baby . nina : i still do n't see your point . franco : you kidnapped a baby , nina . i helped you kidnap a baby . we brought said baby over an international border . i 'm pretty sure that even in canada , that 's still a felony . i was out getting supplies , and i was terrified that somebody was gon na recognize me ! nina : no one 's looking for us in canada . franco : okay , you -- you say that , but let me tell you something . the homepage of the port charles press is a laundry list of organizations that are looking for us because of that baby ! nina : because of this beautiful , beautiful , little baby ? franco : would you cut it out ? honestly , i 'm trying to have a conversation with you . nina : okay , do n't act like i 'm the only one at fault . you did some pretty illegal things yourself , okay ? franco : i did some unsavory things to carly and a few other people . you did some nasty things to ava , not to mention what you did to your mother . nina : well , that 's all in the past . franco : you 're not getting this at all , okay ? kidnapping -- one rung below murder . and we might have some breathing room if we were n't toting around an internationally hunted mafia baby , but we are . so what i 'm proposing is that we anonymously -- very anonymously -- we just put dimples here into a basket and leave her outside the police station or -- or the fire department if they have them in canada . nina : oh , with professionals who can care for her , right ? franco : yes . and then she can get the help that she might need and the care that she needs , and we do n't have to worry about the fbi and ameripol , which apparently is a thing , and the provincial police of ontario and the canadian mounties and god himself . nina : yeah . okay , so once the heat is off , what do we do ? franco : we just slip into the seething humanity . we -- we start over . nina : we just start a whole new life ? franco : yeah . brand spankin ' . come on . what do you say ? nina : i say ... it sucks . kiki : just so you know , i 've called franco a number of times hoping that he would see it was me and pick up and maybe i could talk him into bringing nina and the baby back . morgan : i know , i know . thanks for trying . and i 'm sorry that i 'm making this all about me . it 's just , you know -- do n't think i 've forgotten that the baby 's also your sister . kiki : yeah , i was starting to wonder . morgan : and on top of that , i 'm sure you 're worried about your mom now that she 's on the run for murder . ava : your phone ? no , i 'm sorry . i have n't seen it . silas : can you check your bag ? ava : why would your phone be in my bag ? silas : maybe you picked it up by mistake ? ava : let 's see . this one is mine . and this is really awkward . [ chuckles ] i 'm sorry . silas : [ chuckles ] may i have it , please ? ava : yes , of course . but just so you know , i 've already called the port charles police , and they really do n't have anything to report at all . silas : that 's too bad . i still need my phone . thank you . oh . kiki called . she 's probably wondering where we are . ava : well , i will text her right now . i 'll let her know that everything 's okay . silas : no , that 's all right . i want to talk to her anyway . ava : no . i ca n't let you do that . jordan : so , you 're gon na tell me who our boss is after keeping it a secret for so long ? what 's changed ? julian : well , i guess you could thank alexis for that . i decided to come clean with her on everything . circumstances given what they are , it wo n't be long before everyone else in town knows , too . jordan : what circumstances ? julian : well , you 'll find out soon enough . as for our boss , well , i guess you should know before the cops get wind of it . jordan : okay . yeah , great . who is this great and mysterious oz ? julian : remember when you were on the phone with him ? you thought he sounded like luke spencer ? you were right . tracy : dante , luke just got home . ca n't the interrogation wait ? luke : that 's all right , sweetheart . let 's keep the peace . what 's going on , son - in - law ? dante : you do n't know ? luke : no , i do n't know . for a very good reason . what 's going on ? tell me . dante : well , we 've been investigating you as being a part of julian jerome 's drug trafficking . luke : go on . dante : we also have evidence to suggest that you caused the accident that killed patrick drake 's infant son . luke : why would i do that ? why would i do any of this ? dante : so you 're denying it ? luke : absolutely . i 'm denying every damn bit of it . alexis : he 's telling the truth , dante . dante : how do you know that ? alexis : because while those crimes were being committed , luke was locked away at miscavige . lulu : what ? alexis : your father was in a cell since january . someone was posing as him . faison : i 've been nowhere . i 've been everywhere . dr. obrecht : and i have been here mourning you . so if it 's not too much trouble , i 'd appreciate you being a touch more specific . faison : even though i escaped , i had to remain sub rosa . dr. obrecht : even to me ? faison : to you , to everyone . whether you like it or not , i 'm still a wanted man despite anna 's attempt to punish me according to her own whims . dr. obrecht : cesar , please tell me you finally see your anna for the detestable creature she is . that woman tried to force you to live like a mole , forever underground with blind eyes and sharp snout . she treated as if you were some kind of lower species instead of the genius that you are . anna devane is unworthy of your love . do n't you see that now ? faison : yes . yes , i do . dr. obrecht : you do ? faison : yeah , i thought anna would someday be able to give me her heart , but ... she has none to give . dr. obrecht : you mean this ? you 're not toying with me ? faison : no . i realized during my exile that anna 's not worthy of me . i 've been such a fool all these years , wasting my life loving her while i turned my back on a good woman , a worthy woman , a woman who has a heart to give me . and that woman , liesl , is you . dr. obrecht : me ? franco : you do n't like my plan . nina : oh , i 'm sorry . does `` suck `` mean something different than it did in the ' 90s ? franco : no , it means pretty much the same thing . you do n't like my plan ? come up with your own plan . you got a better plan ? what 's your plan ? nina : well , i 'm not dropping this child off at a fire station . franco : that is not your baby , crazypants . nina : just because i did n't give birth to her does n't mean i do n't want her . franco : okay , so after everything that we 've just talked about , you still want to hang on to this baby ? nina : of course i do . of course i do . i - i lost my baby . my -- my mother basically killed my baby , and ava got to have a child with my husband . franco : so , to get her back , you 'll just take ava 's baby ? nina : ava is not only a homewrecker , but she 's a murderer , and you said that -- that murder is worse than kidnapping . you said it . you said it yourself . and ava does not deserve that child . i do . franco : sonny 's baby -- you know that , right ? nina : yeah , who 's also a murderer . franco : maybe . well , yes , exactly . that 's my point . you think that a mafia kingpin is just gon na let you take his flesh and blood and waltz off into the canadian sunset ? nina : a better question -- better question -- um , how is sonny gon na take care of his kid when he 's in prison ? franco : hench - nannies . i -- not to mention that the baby might also be morgan 's . nina : oh , morgan . well , what i hear about morgan is he can hardly change his own shirt let alone change a diaper , okay ? so , why should he have that innocent child ? franco : i 'm sure that carly would be more than happy to help . nina : oh , well , carly 's a great choice . i mean , she 's mother of the year , right ? franco : that 's a valid point . her children are all passive - aggressive . nina : you know what ? i just ... i 'm so disappointed in you . i really am . i do n't understand your -- actually , i do understand your priorities . franco : okay , good . nina : no , bad . bad . shallow and wrong . you know what ? you do n't want this excess baggage . i 'm just gon na take -- i 'm gon na take my baby and i 'm gon na leave . morgan : have you talked to silas lately ? kiki : i left him a few voicemails . he has n't gotten back to me yet . why ? morgan : well , i mean , this could be kind of a reach , but nina was crazy about him , so maybe she tried to contact him . kiki : you know what ? she did -- she did attack him right before she went after my mom . anything 's possible , right ? morgan : yeah , um , would you mind trying your dad again ? i mean , it 's worth a shot , is n't it ? silas : you ca n't let me call my daughter ? ava : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to snap at you like that . it 's just that -- silas : it 's just that what ? ava : well , i 've told you . sonny 's men are after me . and if you tell kiki where we are , morgan might hear . sonny 's men will find me , and they will kill me . silas : ava , you 're not the only one who can keep a secret , all right ? i 'm not gon na tell anyone . [ cell phone rings ] silas : oh , look who it is . ava : do n't answer . silas : hi , kiki . no , i was just about to call you . what 's up ? jordan : so i was right . luke spencer is the man in charge . julian : no . not luke spencer . jordan : damn it , julian . do n't jerk me around . just -- julian : i 'm not . trust me . look , our boss sounds like luke spencer because he 's able to do a perfect imitation of his voice . he 's actually able to do a perfect everything that is luke spencer . from his hair to his eyes all the way down to his shoes . jordan : okay , so , what ? this guy is luke 's double ? julian : yeah . he is . alexis : luke has spent the last few months trussed up in a straitjacket and drugged into submission . luke : alexis busted me out this afternoon . we came right here after a short detour . tracy : how short ? luke : long enough for a shower and to do a little shopping . tracy : a shower ? i 'm out of my mind with grief and you get a shower and go shopping ? ! luke : i am not gon na show up here looking like some filthy lunatic in hospital scrubs ! tracy : oh . alexis : okay , i think the salient point here is that an impostor 's been living luke 's life and has been committing crimes in his name . lulu : so , wait , all this time , that was n't you ? luke : no . cupcake , no . tracy : so when anna brought you back from miscavige after heather locked you up ... that was n't you ? luke : no , that was an impostor . i 've been locked up in the booby hatch . tracy : all this time ? luke : all this time . ned : so you were n't the man who made inappropriate sexual advances on kiki jerome ? luke : who ? what ? no ! ned : and you never threatened to kill me ? luke : ned , i 've never had any problems with you . even if i did , you 're tracy 's son . why would i threaten you ? alexis : poor ned . you must be really confused . tracy : poor ned ? poor ned ? what about me ? ! i married an impostor ! i 'm gon na be sick . luke : tracy . tracy , it was n't your fault . look , i do n't want to think about all that right now . i would have killed the son of a bitch if i could . i 'm just so -- i 'm so sorry . tracy : i do n't understand . he looked exactly like you . olivia : how ? how did he do it ? lulu : the mask . dr. obrecht : cesar . i suffered the depths of despair when i thought robert and anna had killed you . and now here you are . faison : mm - hmm . dr. obrecht : my joy knows no bounds . but what are we going to do ? you 're still a wanted man . faison : i have one more thing to do here in port charles . and after that , we 'll slip away together . dr. obrecht : you mean that ? faison : every word of it . dr. obrecht : then go . do whatever it is you need to do , and i 'll be ready when you 're finished . but first ... another kiss ? [ chuckles ] britt : mother , what is taking you so lo -- [ gasps ] oh , my god . jordan : spencer has a ringer ? julian : you got it . jordan : and all this time , the real luke has been locked up , drugged , and held prisoner in some institution for the criminally insane ? julian : he 's out now thanks to me , which is why i need to get the hell out of here . lulu : i must have been right about the mask . ned : what mask ? lulu : why do n't you ask larry ? sam and patrick heard larry here on the phone with jerry jacks discussing how they were gon na deal with their luke spencer problem . dante : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . where the hell do you think you 're going ? larry : out for a cigar , unless you prefer i smoke in here . ned : is this true ? are you working with jerry jacks ? larry : [ chuckles ] in cahoots with my abductor ? preposterous . lulu : sam and patrick broke into your safe - deposit box . what do you think they found ? a file on cesar faison . faison : happy thanksgiving , britta . dr. obrecht : you 're in shock . so was i . but your father survived that despicable woman 's attempt to cage him . [ door closes ] dr. obrecht : is n't it wonderful ? britt : no , mother . it 's the opposite of wonderful . dr. obrecht : how can you say that about your own father ? britt : he 's an international terrorist , kidnapper , all - around criminal . faison : you say that as though it 's a bad thing . britt : this man needs to be locked up , which is exactly what 's going to happen . i 'm getting nikolas . dr. obrecht : no , britta . you 're not going to tell nikolas . britt : watch me . dr. obrecht : fine ! enjoy your last moments of happiness with the prince . we both know how easily i can destroy your relationship with nikolas . mark my words , britta . if you make me lose the love of my life , i will force you to lose yours . luke : faison . larry : i know no one of that name . ned : father , was n't he part of that cartel you were mixed up in ? tracy : he certainly was . alexis : was n't faison supposed to be in a supermax in europe ? lulu : we 're not sure how faison fits into all of this . all we know is that the file contained an elaborate blueprint for a mask exactly like the one faison wore . olivia : when he was impersonating duke lavery . tracy : lulu and i thought it might be a mask of you . luke : well , that cheap imitation of me came to miscavige yesterday and told me all about this moron . he said that jerry sent him to you in exchange for elq shares . larry : jerry stuffed me into a bag . i was in the dark , old boy , both literally and figuratively . luke : it does n't sound like it to me , old boy . in fact , that impostor went on and on about you , ashton . larry : i do n't know what that impostor has to do with me . luke : i asked him if he was you wearing my face . tracy : what 'd he say ? luke : nothing . he would n't answer . so come on . level with us . are you the one who 's been stealing my life ? silas : happy thanksgiving to you , too . it 's been a strange year , but if i 'm thankful for anything today , it 's you . kiki : aww . thanks . back at you . uh , anyway , i 'm really glad that i finally got ahold of you . i 've been trying to reach you . silas : yeah , my phone went a little awol . kiki : that 's okay . i do n't know if you have any thanksgiving plans , but we 're -- morgan and i -- are spending ours at kelly 's . silas : just about the saddest thing i ever heard . kiki : [ chuckles ] yeah , do n't knock it till you try it . um , anyway , i 'm calling you because we 're really worried about the baby . silas : yeah . i 'm -- i 'm worried about the little one myself . kiki : right . well , uh , morgan and i were just wondering if maybe nina had reached out to you ? silas : no . have n't heard from nina . i would have told the cops if i had . kiki : what about my mom ? have you heard from her ? nina : all right , you want to be free , that 's fine . you 'll be free . that 's yours . i 'm just gon na pick up all my excess baggage and then we 're gon na get out of your hair , okay ? franco : would you stop it , please ? nina : why ? why ? why ? why ? so you can convince me to give up this baby to strangers ? [ baby crying ] nina : people who have n't cared for her ? no . i 'm coming , baby . now she 's crying . great . franco : can we talk for a second about this ? nina : no . oh , so i can listen to a self - centered narcissist convince me that -- that this is just baggage ? franco : you know what ? fine . then you go . go , go , go . go ! see how far you get ! see how you survive without me ! nina : oh , we 're gon na be fine . franco : nina , i came back for you ! i did n't need to do that ! i could have been free and clear by now , but i came back for you to make sure you were safe , to make sure you stayed out of trouble , and you -- you -- it 's working . it 's because of me that you have n't been caught . nina : i have money . let go of this . franco : if you touch that money , nina -- listen to me . if you touch the money , it 's being traced if it has n't already been frozen , okay ? [ baby crying ] franco : you touch the money , they 're on you like -- like blood on a wedding dress . nina : i got it ! i 'm -- i 'm here , baby . let go of me ! let go ! [ sighs ] franco : nina , if you go now , you wo n't get far . you 'll end up in prison , and then you really will be without the baby . [ baby crying ] franco : okay , i 'm coming . calm down . it 's not so bad , is it ? oh , well ... yeah . you do have a point being miserable . no matter who he is , papa 's definitely a corinthos . and ... if he 's a corinthos , he 's one of the dregs of humanity . she is really cute , right ? she 'd be even cuter if she stopped crying . [ chuckles ] all right . nina : oh , you 're -- you -- you do n't know what you 're -- you 're not gon na do that right . franco : oh . seem to be doing okay . nina : [ chuckles ] i guess so . franco : i do n't know how i would know . i 've never had a kid . nina : i know . i 've never had a kid , either . franco : well , you 're really good with her . nina : really ? franco : yeah . nina : oh . thank you . i think it 's instinct , you know . i just wanted something so badly . and when i got it , it just kind of came naturally . hey . wanting it and just -- oh -- tasting it . nothing can compare to love like this , right ? so , you know what ? that -- that position is not -- it 's -- she usually does n't like to be fed in this position . franco : okay . nina : so you have to put her up . franco : okay . nina : okay . like a little up . not -- not really like that . that 's -- that 's okay . she likes it . she -- she likes it . you 're doing good . franco : thanks . silas : have i heard from your mom ? kiki : you were so great with my mom when she was hiding from morgan 's dad that we figured , you know , maybe she would feel safe with you . silas : no , i have n't -- i have n't heard from your mother . she 's -- she 's , i 'm sure , out looking for her baby . have -- have you checked in with the police station ? kiki : police station ? that 's the last place my mom would go right now . i mean , unless they caught her and she 's locked up . ava : hang up . i - i have some , uh , word about the baby . silas : wait , what -- why -- why would the cops put your mom in jail ? kiki : you seriously do n't know ? silas : no , i do n't . kiki : my mom is wanted for murder . she killed connie falconeri . dr. obrecht : i think it 's a fair exchange , do n't you ? you get to keep your love and i get to keep mine . britt : fine . i wo n't tell nikolas . but you are not hiding that creature in this house . dr. obrecht : i will do whatever i need to do to keep your father safe . faison : please stop now , okay ? do n't argue . i have something i need to accomplish elsewhere . britt : oh , do n't let us keep you . dr. obrecht : you 're not leaving me again , cesar , are you ? you will come back ? faison : yes . i will be back . for you . julian : i really got to go 'cause i 'm in real trouble , all right ? jordan : okay , i get it . i get it . and i 'm sorry . but i still need to know the name of our boss . julian : i already told you everything i know . jordan : well , can you at least -- at least tell me where i can -- i can track him down . julian : [ sighs ] our boss has been holding the real luke spencer in miscavige this whole time . i just let him out , so in a few hours , the cops are gon na know everything . now , if they find me , they 're gon na arrest me . even worse , our boss might even catch on . so i really need to get the hell out of here , okay ? jordan : okay , well , what about ava ? she 's out there , too . i mean , what am i supposed to do ? julian : look , look , look . the other luke spencer will introduce himself when the time is right . jordan , you 're gon na be fine , okay ? jordan : so this is it ? julian : for now . you turned out to be a hell of a soldier . i 'm just sorry that it has to end . jordan : me , too . julian : [ sighs ] luke : have you been masquerading as me ? larry : oh , for heaven 's sake . i do n't have any idea who this `` raison `` fellow is . can -- can somebody pour me a drink ? gin , preferably . at this point , i 'll drink just about anything . ned : you can drop the whole `` hapless drunk in the wrong place at the wrong time `` act , dad . your cover 's blown . larry : ah . et tu , brute ? i am much maligned . fortunately for me , i do n't need to answer to any of you . tracy : what happened ? luke : where 's ashton ? tracy : do n't tell me the old lush outran you . dante : no , tracy , he had a car waiting , a black sedan . i 'm calling in an apb . ned : my father had a getaway car ? oh , my god . what has he got himself into ? olivia : are you okay ? ned : you know , i always knew my -- my father was a low - level conman , but i never imagined that he would be involved in something like this . working with jerry jacks ? imprisoning luke ? and whatever the hell is dante suspects ? luke : nice work , cupcake . i guess dante is n't the only sleuth in the family . lulu : sam and patrick did all the hard stuff . luke : well , remind me to thank them . so , now that you know i 'm not the evil twin everybody thought i was , how about that hug ? lulu : i 've missed you so much . luke : oh , baby , i 've missed you , too . [ both chuckle ] silas : thanks for bringing me up to speed , kiki . for some reason , i was completely in the dark . kiki : i 'm -- i 'm sorry to unload all of that on you . i know it 's a lot . silas : it sure is . kiki : are you okay ? silas : yeah , i 'm all right . listen , i need to -- i need to go now , all right ? i 'm gon na check in with you later . let me know if you hear anything about nina and the baby . kiki : yeah , i will . i promise . morgan : what happened ? it sounded like your dad did n't know what ava did to connie . kiki : he did n't . but he does now . ava : silas . get out of my way . silas : ava , you 're not going anywhere . franco : [ chuckles ] hi . check it out . i 'm successfully feeding a little human being . nina : she likes you . she 's looking at you like you 're god of all things . franco : she 's so warm . wow . nina : yeah . wow . franco : she 's beautiful . nina : you still want to drop her off at the firehouse ? dr. obrecht : i feel like a pilgrim embarking on a great , new world . britt : bon voyage . dr. obrecht : i 've dreamed of this moment since before you were born . [ sighs ] cesar has finally chosen me over anna . britt : yeah , you two really hit the jackpot . dr. obrecht : i 've stepped from a long and arduous journey out of darkness and into the promised land ! like the first settlers finally realizing the dreams here . i never had any use for this american tradition . but now i see it in all its glory . thanksgiving . i now know what gratitude is . happy thanksgiving , schatzi . britt : yeah , there 's yams in the other room , so i 'm gon na go . dr. obrecht : come now . can you not be happy for mutti ? britt : no , i can not be happy for you . not after you threatened yet again to destroy my happiness with nikolas . nikolas : how could she possibly do that ? alexis : when i found luke at miscavige , i tried to get him to go to the hospital , i tried to get him to go to the police . he just wanted to come here . he just wanted to be with lulu and tracy . ned : well , you made some people very happy today , and thankful . olivia : yeah . you 're a real saint . luke : well , this is me , the real deal . no mask here . tracy : [ laughs ] lulu : wait a second . sam and patrick said they saw larry leaving with something from his safe - deposit box , but they did n't know what it was . tracy : it could be a mask of your face . luke : so you 're telling me he could still be out there running around with my face , pretending to be me ? fluke : going somewhere ? [ next_on ] silas : ( forcing ava to sit down ) you 're not going anywhere . franco : ( to nina ) we ca n't just keep her . ( tracy knocks a drink out of luke 's hand ) nikolas : ( to britt ) how about you stop lying and start telling the truth ? anna : ( to duke ) did n't you tell lucy about your new job ? dante : ( on the phone ) how 'd you like to arrest julian jerome ? ned : ( to alexis , with olivia watching ) why are you defending julian all of a sudden ? fluke : ( to julian ) you have to die .

[ nina & franco kiss ] [ door opens ] julian : well , it 's inspiring to see how hard you 're working , nina . nina : um , yes . franco brought me lunch . we are having lunch together . franco : yes , we are . i mean , it 's a fashion magazine , but you 're still allowed to have lunch , are n't you ? nina : mm - hmm . julian : if you 're finished having fun , i 'd like to speak to my editor - in- chief , please . franco : you 're asking me to leave ? julian : is that a problem ? nina : franco ... [ muttering ] franco : yeah , no . not a -- not a problem . not a problem at all . i , uh -- i was actually on my way to work , anyway . nina : thanks for lunch . julian : [ sighs ] you know what this is ? nina : no , i do n't know . julian : november 's financials . nina : mm . they 're -- they 're not good . julian : no . nina : no , okay . uh ... i just started . you -- you just have to give me a chance . julian : nina , they 're a disaster . not only did you fail to bring in new ad revenue , you 've lost sponsors that crimson has had for years . nina : but it 's -- it 's gon na get better . i 'm -- i 'm working really hard , and -- and it will get better . are you -- are you firing me ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : sam and elizabeth , jason and i were all there when she passed . she 's no longer a part of my life , thus no longer a part of yours . alexis : you had better not be teasing me . is she dead or is she dead ? nikolas : i buried her myself in the family plot on the north side of the island , [ chuckling ] you know ? alexis : thank you , god ! thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you ! she 's dead ! she 's dead ! the witch is dead ! the wicked witch is dead ! oh , i 'm so happy ! i never thought this day would come . nikolas : neither would i . alexis : what 's going on ? are you okay ? [ scene_break ] carly : hey . i have to talk to you . come here . elizabeth : oh , actually , i 'm on break . do you want me to find you a nurse ? carly : it 's about jason . elizabeth : sorry , i do n't have the time . carly : you need to make time for me . elizabeth : okay , carly , what do you want to tell me about jason ? carly : i need you to let him go . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] you know what , you are unbelievable . how about this ? how about if i want advice about jason or anything else , i will just ask you . but in the meantime , do n't hold your breath , okay ? carly : i 'm looking out for jason . elizabeth : he does n't need you to look out for him . he 's his own man . if he wants to go , he 'll go . carly : his own man ? he does n't even know who that is , elizabeth . elizabeth : he knows he loves me , and he loves my boys . and one day , we are gon na get married . so you can just take your advice and go to hell . carly : hold on . listen to me . elizabeth , listen to me ! i will not let you drag jason down . elizabeth : carly , where is this coming from ? i thought we had worked past this , that we were actually getting along -- that the animosity was behind us . carly : okay , hold on . hold on . i 'll always be grateful that you agreed to donate jake 's kidney to josslyn , okay ? and -- and no matter what kind of manipulation that helena brought into this situation does n't lessen your sacrifice . i get that . elizabeth : i 'm glad to hear that . carly : no matter how indebted i am to you , it does n't change the fact that you were trying to trap jason . [ scene_break ] patrick : well , i just want to , uh , thank you for moving ahead with divorcing sam . it 's about time you step out of her life . jason : sam had a lot to process when she found out who i am . i did , too . we needed to figure out who we are to each other now , and we did that . patrick : well , i 'm -- i 'm happy for that . now she can move on without you as a distraction . jason : you realize that we have a kid together ? and that we 're friends ? i 'm gon na be in sam 's life . [ scene_break ] laura : what is it that was so important you needed to talk to me right away ? sam : okay , um , so , jake is here visiting his brother . laura : oh , did something happen ? sam : no , no , no , no . laura : he 's all right ? sam : yeah , of course . he 's okay . um , he and -- and danny are actually watching a movie right now . laura : [ chuckles ] okay , that 's all right . sam : yeah . why do n't -- why do n't we sit down ? please . laura : sure . sam : yeah . so ... [ sighs ] before the movie , um , jake and i were talking . laura : mm . sam : and he told me that you and elizabeth are keeping a secret . [ scene_break ] nina : give me another chance . maxie : you would be a fool to let nina go , mr. jerome . headhunters have tapped her for two other publications , both with circulation and a budget a whole lot bigger than crimson 's . julian : if you say so . and no , i 'm not firing you yet . nina : thank you . julian : but if these numbers continue to go down instead of up ... crimson wo n't be worth saving , and i 'm gon na shut down this whole sorry operation . nina : maxie , what are you talking about ? there 's no headhunter tapping me . i mean , is there ? maxie : i was spinning . nina : you mean bluffing . maxie : this is totally unreasonable . julian can not blame you for anything connected to the november issue , and he knows that . he 's just deflecting blame because he mismanaged this magazine and left it in the hands of a total incompetent . nina : excuse me . maxie : oh , no , nina , not you . god , not you -- the previous editor - in - chief . who , by the way , should n't be able to get a job merchandising at a strip mall . that issue was a disaster from concept to print run . nina : so julian is just blaming me for the disaster , right ? okay . i -- i do n't -- i do n't know what to do , maxie . i mean , i want this so bad , but i do n't know what i 'm doing . i do n't know how to be editor - in - chief . maxie : okay . before we can turn crimson around , we need to turn your attitude around . nina : how ? maxie : i am going to give you a nuclear makeover . [ scene_break ] franco : hey , jerome . julian : what do you want , franco ? franco : what are you up to ? julian : it 's , uh , called working . some of us have jobs rather than rich girlfriends . franco : not what i 'm talking about . why would you hire a woman whose last experience in publishing was working for her high - school newspaper ? [ scene_break ] alexis : as happy as i am about this , i can see that you 're conflicted , and for that , i 'm sorry . nikolas : thank you . ironically , it , uh ... kind of happened ... all of a sudden . you know , between one breath and the next , she was taunting jason about not remembering his past , and then she was , you know ... she was just gone . alexis : she taunted jason with her last breath . nikolas : mm . alexis : that figures . even on her deathbed , i 'll bet she did n't even have an ounce of remorse , did she ? nikolas : she 's always done what she 's done with her eyes wide open . you know that . alexis : mm - hmm . so , is that you talking or is that helena talking ? nikolas : i 've always been taught that ... being sorry does n't change anything . alexis : i love you , nephew . i do . but it seems that you may be picking up the mantle of helena 's ruthlessness . [ scene_break ] laura : jake said that elizabeth and i have a secret ? i -- [ scoffs ] that 's odd . sam : he also said that you were upset with elizabeth about this . laura : he must have overheard something . but obviously he -- he misunderstood . sam : no , i -- i -- i do n't think this was a misunderstanding . jake said that the secret was about jason . [ scene_break ] patrick : see , it bothers sam that you do n't remember your time together . it 's hard for her to be around you . jason : well , if sam does n't want to be around me , all she has to do is say so . patrick : well , why not take the initiative ? why do n't you take a step back , for sam 's sake , from your supposed friendship ? jason : we became friends a year ago , before either of us knew about the rest of it . patrick : yeah , right , and now you 're the husband that she loved that does n't remember her at all . why do n't you stop thinking about yourself for five minutes and understand how painful this is for sam ? she does n't need to see you any more than what 's necessary for danny 's sake . jason : you know what 's funny to me ? you said on thanksgiving that you two had worked it out , that you 're good . and now you 're , uh -- you 're confronting me ? really ? seems to me that you 're not that confident in your relationship . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 're calling me selfish ? you only want the old jason back for your own self - centered reasons . carly : i want jason to remember because he has a right to his own damn life -- to the life he made for himself . jason has a past , elizabeth . he has a family . he has people who love him -- he 's not some blank slate that you get to draw your obedient , perfect man on . elizabeth : you know , i think you 're just annoyed because he 's not the jason who would stand by you no matter how much it cost him . this jason actually wants to settle down with me and my boys -- carly : because he 's loyal , and he feels like he owes you something . elizabeth : no , because he 's finally free of the mob . he does n't want to work for sonny anymore . he does n't want to do his dirty work -- killings on his orders . thank god that jason is gone . carly : gone ? were you paying attention when he took out three gunmen at the warehouse ? a faulty memory does n't change who jason is on the inside . it does n't change his instincts . and he worked for sonny , because he wanted to . he 's the best at what he does . he needs danger . he needs to take chances . he needs that excitement , and he will seek it out . elizabeth : you really think he 's gon na come running back to you and be your best friend again ? the man who coddled you through every crisis of the week you created ? the man who loved you beyond reason and never asked anything from you ? and i know you loved him . in fact , you loved him more than any man you were sleeping with at the time . well , that twisted relationship is over . and if i have it my way , you 're not getting it back . [ scene_break ] laura : well , i just do n't know what to tell you , sam . i think that , uh , jake probably has a very active imagination . sam : imagina -- no , i - i do n't think he 's imagining this . he actually said it first to danny , and then to me . laura : well , thank you very much for telling me about this . i appreciate it . i will definitely tell his parents . but i 'm gon na let them handle it . sam : i do n't know why you 're avoiding the question . laura : [ scoffs ] sam : i keep ... i 'm -- i 'm trying to figure out what this secret is , and the only thing i can come up with is that it has to do with jason 's identity -- something that you 're keeping from him . laura , did you and elizabeth know the truth about jason 's identity before carly told him ? [ scene_break ] patrick : you know , you keep saying that you do n't feel like jason morgan , but it 's funny , 'cause you , uh -- you act exactly like him . jason : patrick . i 'm not gon na stay away from sam because you demand it . you say it 's for her sake , but we know better . come on . do n't hide behind that . you 're threatened . so let me remind you -- i 'm marrying elizabeth , and if you ca n't hold onto sam , well , it 's not because of anything i 'm gon na do . [ scene_break ] carly : do i want jason back ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] carly : my jason ? hell , yeah , i do . and not just because he 's good for me . and he is . he 's so good for me . but i 'm good for him , too . jason and i tell each other the truth , and that 's something that is missing from your so - called relationship . you always tried to turn jason into someone small so he could be happy with you . hell , you even lied to him about danny 's identity , so you would n't lose him to sam . elizabeth : for one day . one day . carly : it does n't matter . jason was shot believing that danny was n't his because of you , elizabeth . elizabeth : i know , i know , and it was wrong , and i regret that . but that has nothing to do with this . carly : it has everything to do with this . it proves that -- that you 're only looking out for yourself . you never put jason first . elizabeth : mm . carly : and every time he and sam were on the outs , you pounced , whether it be hiking your way up to his apartment for sex in a blackout or exploiting he and sam 's separation , because she 's reeling from the death of her child , which you knew was alive the whole time ! so , you succeeded . congratulations . yeah , you have . you succeeded in prying jason away from his wife . but how does it feel to know that jason 's only with you , because he does n't remember sam anymore than he remembers what a manipulator you are . hell , i would n't be surprised if you were pregnant already . elizabeth : i am not pregnant . but if i was , who cares ? so what ? jason may not remember our relationship from before , but he loves me now for who i am -- the woman you have always hated , you 've always resented , and you have always used as your punching bag . well , that ends right now , because jason and i are together , and there 's really nothing you can do about it . carly : if you knew jason at all , you would realize he 's gon na wake up someday , and he 's going to resent you for what you 've done to him . [ scene_break ] nina : some frivolous makeover is n't gon na save our magazine . maxie : whoa , there is nothing frivolous about putting the best you forward . it is the founding principle of fashion . nina : yeah , but a makeover is n't gon na save a sinking ship . you heard julian . he wants ad revenue . he suggested that we go on the internet and use social media . i mean ... maxie : okay , well , to get ad revenue , we need advertisers . high - end , a - list designers and vendors . people want to do business with an editor that can promote their brand . you need to have a look that impresses stylists and vendors . uh ... it 's all about personal style these days , okay ? a confident editor makes for a popular magazine . i want you to walk into a room and have all eyes on you and not be able to look away . every woman will want to look like you , and every straight man will want to be with you . nina : how is that different from how i 'm dressing now ? maxie : well , it 's clear you have an eye for fashion , but we just need to pull it together and take you to another level . look , i used all my connections to get you the best pieces to work with . and i even lured graffitia here from new york to work with you with the promise of meeting her idol , franco . boy , wo n't she be disappointed . nina : wh -- who 's graffitia ? maxie : she 's only the most influential celebrity stylist on the planet . she 's gon na transform you into an icon of chic -- the perfect editor to steer crimson away from the iceberg and into the hearts of fashionistas online , on trend , and on the runway . trust me . change your clothes , change your life . let 's do this ! [ scene_break ] julian : well , i did take a leap of faith with nina . you know , gave her a chance after the life she 's endured . but [ chuckles ] i 'm surprised you would , uh -- you would begrudge her that . franco : i do n't . i think it 's great nina has a job . she wakes up in the morning filled with energy . she likes to go to work . julian : mm . franco : she comes home at night and talks about it . julian : well , it sounds like i made the right decision . franco : i think she 's bright and resourceful and ... julian : [ sighs ] franco : ... the woman can light up a room just by walking into it . what i do n't understand is what ceo in his right mind would hire a woman who has no work experience at all , let alone in publishing or fashion or even retail ? makes me think you have an ulterior motive . julian : uh , sounds sinister . franco : i know all about sinister . so i guess this is what i have to say -- if you 're trying to trick her , make a fool out of her , if you hurt her in any way , i will hurt you back . nina has an innocence about her . people try and take advantage of her . ric lansing tried to take all over her money . her own mother tried to frame her for murder . and i wo n't tell you some of the other crap she 's put her through . julian : well , like i said , i only gave nina a shot because of the rough life she 's had . franco : so when she restores your faded glossy to its former glory , you better give her the credit she deserves . julian : fat chance of that happening . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] woman : jennifer , taylor , brie -- all challenges in their own way . but this ... this is my masterpiece . maxie : we did it . we really did it . woman : oh , it 's -- god . nina : um , yeah . i mean , i do n't feel any different , except these shoes are pinching my feet . [ both giggle ] maxie : do n't worry . your feet will go numb soon . trust me , nina . this is all worth it . woman : [ sighs ] maxie : take a look at the new you . well , what do you think ? nina : [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : i have to say , i 'm surprised that sam did n't tell you about her trip to cassadine island . alexis : i think sometimes sam forgets she has a family to support her . nikolas : well , i know that she knows that you and molly and kristina love her very much . and julian , now , i -- - alexis : mm - hmm , yeah . sam is used to facing problems on her own . but i will tell you that she was devastated when she found out about jason . nikolas : i know . and that 's the entire reason why she went there . to see if helena could -- could give jason some closure and help him with his memories . but she offered nothing of any substance at all . alexis : of course , she did n't offer anything . she loves keeping jason away from sam . loved it . amused her so she could torture my daughter . nikolas : do you -- do you really think that helena cassadine would spare anyone pain and confusion ? alexis : she would not . i ca n't even imagine how much she enjoyed knowing that jason was married to sam while he was falling in love with elizabeth . [ scene_break ] carly : you 're the only person who is n't pushing jason to figure out his past . to figure out his old life , right ? what he does n't realize -- the second he remembers who he is , he 's gon na leave you [ snaps ] in a heartbeat . and you know it . that 's not true . it 's not true . he loves me . carly : well , then give him a chance to prove it ! give him the space and the freedom to decide if the life you 're offering is the life he really wants . i mean , would n't you feel better knowing that you helped jason figure out who he really is and he still chose you ? [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm very sorry that jason does n't remember you . i am sure that that is incredibly painful . but , you know , jason ca n't help the fact that he loves elizabeth now . [ knock on door ] sam : excuse me . hi . jason : hey . i thought the kids would be exhausted by now . sam : yeah , uh ... come in . jason : thanks . hi , laura . laura : hi . jason : what are you doing here ? is jake okay ? laura : oh , yes , they 're fine . the kids are just watching a movie together . sam : yeah , they 're watching a movie . yeah . laura : yeah . jason : ah . okay , so , uh ... what 's going on here ? [ scene_break ] maxie : are you okay ? i mean , that was hardly the reaction i was expecting . nina : i know . me neither . i did n't recognize myself . maxie : well , is that a good thing or a bad thing ? nina : i just , um ... look at me ! wow . i 'm hot . [ laughs ] um ... i 'm an alpha woman , is what i am . you know , i - i spent the majority of my life -- well , all of my life , uh , living in my mom 's shadow , so ... it 's a big deal for me to -- to see that . it 's partly why i married silas -- just to get away from my mom . and i had , uh , one sole purpose when i woke up from my coma . it was to -- to have a baby and seek revenge . maxie : that 's two purposes . nina : yeah , whatever . just -- that 's what i had . and i was just so -- oh , wow . i was so -- i was really messed up . but that woman , she 's not messed up . that woman is strong . that woman does n't live in anyone 's shadow . that woman is not gon na take a baby out of another woman 's womb and kidnap it . that woman is not going to marry a stranger just to make franco jealous . that woman is not gon na shuffle around aimlessly at a mental institution playing battleship with comatose patients and watch the weather channel . that woman is not gon na sleep her life away , uh , aimlessly redecorating . maxie : so this is a good thing . you 're -- you 're happy with the new you . nina : yeah , i am really , really happy . thank you . you did this for me . [ voice breaking ] you did this for me , and i really , really appreciate it , okay ? uh , and i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na show people that i 'm gon na make something out of this magazine , and make something out of my life . and -- and they 're gon na believe in me . maxie : well , good . then it worked . all right , nina . let 's turn crimson from red to black . nina : all right . are you ready ? let 's do it . maxie : yeah . nina : all right , we 'll prove julian wrong . or this ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : yeah , i need to go . nikolas : all right , are you -- are you okay ? alexis : yeah , i 'm thrilled helena 's dead . i 'm not thrilled that my daughter 's still struggling . nikolas : yeah , i -- i understand that , but she 's happy with patrick now . alexis : yeah , she is . though she 's still having a hard time letting go of jason . nikolas : but what , uh , choice does she have ? it seems that , uh , he 's let go of her . alexis : it might be for the best . patrick is so good for her . he brings out a - a lightness in her . nikolas : and he does n't pose a threat to her safety like jason does . alexis : no . he is as far from a mob enforcer as anyone . nikolas : now , so , can we agree that sam and danny are better off with patrick ? alexis : we do n't count . sam gets to decide , and i hope -- i hope that she can love patrick as much as she loved jason . nikolas : i do , too . alexis : okay , my friend . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : thank you , carly , for looking out for my love life . however , jason does n't feel the desire to explore the history of jason morgan , so you and sonny are just gon na have to find a new enforcer to kill your enemies and dabble in your weird , chaste ménage à trois . carly : [ sighs ] elizabeth : okay . patrick : what 's wrong ? elizabeth : oh , uh , you know , nothing . everything . it 's just carly . where 's jason ? i - i was supposed to have lunch with him . patrick : yeah , i - i may have driven him away . i asked him to stay away from sam . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] funny , carly told me to let jason go . i just wish everything would go back to the way it was . patrick : yeah , me too . [ scene_break ] jason : i feel like i 'm interrupting . laura : oh , no , no . not at all . i was in the area , and i decided that i 'd just stop by and , you know , drop in on sam . oh , by the way , i heard about your experience with helena , and i 'm very sorry that you were n't able to retrieve all of your memory . but , you know , there has been some resolution , right ? so , i 'm hoping that now maybe we can all relax a little and move on . sam : yeah , i 'm sure . i 'm sure that 's what you 're hoping . laura : okay , i think i 'll be going . it was really nice to see you again . you too , sam . jason : goodbye . sam : bye , laura . jason : ooh . so , uh , what was really going on between you two ? huh ? jake : hi , dad . jason : hey , buddy . you have fun playing with your brother ? jake : yeah , but danny kind of fell asleep . sam : i knew he was gon na do that . it 's way past his nap time . jake : can we go home ? jason : first , you must tell sam thank you for having you over . jake : thanks , sam . i promise i wo n't tell anyone your secret . sam : [ scoffs ] thank you . jason : secrets ? really ? intriguing . hm . come on , jake . let 's , uh -- let 's get out of sam 's hair . sam : bye , buddy . jake : bye . sam : bye . jason : thanks again . sam : of course .

'cause it 's all about to come crashing down on you . [ scene_break ] nina : julian , when will you be transferring funds into crimson ? julian : uh ... well , i - i would -- you know , i would love to increase , um , crimson 's budget . but , um , you know , that wa - was n't really part of the deal . so , if you guys need some more money , you 're gon na have to , uh -- you 're gon na have to raise it yourselves . nina : okay , well , we have work to do . were you here for a reason ? julian : oh , um , yeah . you know , i need that financial report over there .

[ scene_break ] jason : did you have fun playing with danny ? jake : yeah , we watched a movie , and before that , i talked to danny 's mom about secrets . jason : yeah . i , uh -- i got that . [ sighs ] sam 's pretty easy to talk to , huh ? yeah . is there anything in particular that 's on your mind ? jake : kind of . jason : okay . do you want to talk about it ? hey . elizabeth : hey . there are my two boys . jakey , did you have fun at danny 's ? did you eat lunch over there ? jake : yeah . elizabeth : okay . jake : can i go watch tv ? elizabeth : i guess . jason : [ sighs ] okay , buddy . lunch . yeah . uh , we were , uh , gon na have -- and i messed that up . i am so sorry . elizabeth : that 's okay . i heard you got into it with patrick . jason : yeah , well , what can i say ? my old life just , uh -- that fallout just keeps on coming . elizabeth : what do you mean the fallout ? jason : do n't worry about it . i 'm just -- i 'm in a bad mood . elizabeth : well , tell me . i want to -- i want to know . i want to hear it . jason : you know , i kept saying that my life felt like walking through a maze . every time i 'd turn a corner , i 'd run into a wall . i was convinced that once i knew who i am , it 'd be easier , but it is not . if anything , this life , this maze , it 's more complicated . i mean , i - i do n't know if i 'm going forward or if i 'm moving backward , and i do n't know when i 'm gon na get out of this thing . i mean , i just -- when am i gon na have a normal life ? elizabeth : i think i can help . [ scene_break ] sam : mom ? i was n't expecting you . did i forget something ? alexis : uh , patrick asked me to meet him here . sam : okay . patrick : yeah , i , uh -- i ran into jason at the hospital , and heard that he was starting the proceedings with the divorce , so i thought it 'd be a good idea to be represented in the process , so i - i called alexis . alexis : uh , nikolas told me what happened on cassadine island , that helena died and did n't tell jason -- sam : yeah , she kept insisting she had answers , and ... [ scoffs ] she could n't say anything . obviously she was yanking jason 's chain . it does n't matter now , though . what ... alexis : you know , what matters is that helena is finally , mercifully dead . and i think everyone just needs to put the past behind them . sam : is that what the divorce is supposed to do ? alexis : i know that we , uh -- we talked about it before , when you first found out about jason , and you were conflicted , which is understandable . it was new . sam : yes , it was . patrick : yeah , and now that we 've had time to process it , i think it 's a good idea that you and jason get divorced so he can marry elizabeth , and so we can get married . alexis : jason does seem determined to -- to move forward , so i think patrick 's right . sam : okay , but if and -- and when i 'm ready to end my marriage , i will call you . not patrick . alexis : absolutely . um , okay . i 'm gon na let you two work this out . and , uh , you know that you can call me any time . sam : yeah , of course . alexis : excuse me . [ clears throat ] sam : you dragged my mother over here without letting me in ? patrick : i just thought it was time to move on . sam : you did . patrick , when i 'm ready to get a divorce , i will do it myself without any manipulation from you . [ scene_break ] alexis : what 's all this ? julian : uh , well , that 's , uh , crimson 's latest dismal numbers . alexis : hey , dismal , yay ! that 's what you wanted , right ? julian : yeah , absolutely . well , the only reason i hired nina was 'cause i knew she would run crimson right into the ground . alexis : how is your editor - in - chief ? julian : you know , she 's more of a handful than i originally thought she would be . alexis : no kidding . i defended her . i would imagine there 's a lot of people that feel that way about nina reeves . julian : yeah , well , good news is she has an idea for the next issue that 's gon na put crimson exactly where i want it -- out of business with a hefty tax break in my pocket . [ scene_break ] nina : so , do you like the concept ? maxie : [ scoffs ] i love it . this would definitely bring in hordes of high - end advertisers . sadly , we do not have anywhere near the amount of money we would need to pull this off . nina : but you want to do this , right ? you 're still passionate about doing this ? it 's still important to you , right ? maxie : nina , i love this magazine . crimson is the first place i felt where i truly belonged , where my talents were appreciated , and i could actually make a contribution . i mean , before crimson , i flailed . after crimson , i flailed even worse . true , i managed to give birth to an amazing daughter and fall in love with an incredible man , so i do n't have too many complaints about my time away from here . but since being back at crimson , i feel like i 'm firing on all cylinders again . it 's like my professional career started over when yours did . nina : i know . i know , trust me . we 're not mayflies . our life does n't begin and end today . this is n't over . i 'm gon na make sure of that . maxie : but we ca n't do anything unless julian increases our budget . nina : we do n't need anything from that parsimonious capitalist . maxie : [ scoffs ] all right . where can we get money for your idea ? nina : me . i have money . i 'm loaded . i 'm gon na put in everything i have to make sure that crimson rises from the dead . [ scene_break ] carly : you should enjoy this precious time in your life where it all seems to work . yeah . where you almost pass as a worthwhile person . i think you should really invest in your future here at general hospital and in your relationship with nina , because it 's only gon na give you that much further to fall when jason remembers why he hates you so much . franco : can you explain that to me ? jason 's walking around this town for a year . nobody knows who the hell he is ? he tried to blow up the haunted star . that should 've been a clue . jason does love violence . carly : yeah , he does . and he 's gon na remember how much pain that you 've caused all the people he loves , and he 's going to kill you again . but this time , he 's gon na make sure you 're dead . excuse me . [ scene_break ] laura : nikolas ! hang up . nikolas : what ? laura : hang up the phone ! i got to talk to you . nikolas : i 'll -- i 'll -- i 'll get back to you . wh - what ? what is it ? laura : remember , i told you that this web of lies was gon na come untangled , and i was right . i just came from seeing sam . she 's this close to figuring everything out . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm not manipulating you . i 'm just -- i 'm doing what needs to be done . sam : by arranging for my divorce without telling me ? patrick : no , jason is divorcing you , okay ? i want you to be represented in the process . why would you want to wait ? sam : this is n't about waiting or not waiting . it 's about the issue being forced . patrick : see , that 's confusing to me , okay ? because just yesterday , you 'd said that you wanted to move on with me . sam : yeah . patrick : you got on your knee and asked me to marry you . so why are you -- why are you stalling about divorcing jason ? [ scene_break ] jason : you help me every day , elizabeth . you accept me for who i am . do n't try to force me to be someone i do n't remember . elizabeth : you say you 're in this maze . well , so am i . and i 'm holding onto you so tight that neither one of us can find a way out . jason : hey . elizabeth : here . jason : no , no , no . what are you doing ? elizabeth : i 'm letting you go . [ next_on ] carly ( to andré ) : what 's going on with my son ? morgan ( to sonny ) : i 'm not going anywhere with you . tracy ( to hayden ) : quartermaines in , cassadines out . laura ( to nikolas ) : this web of lies is coming undone . dillon : i wanted to say goodbye . maxie : goodbye ? jason ( to elizabeth ) : are you telling me to leave ? patrick : move on with the divorce . sam : i ca n't .

maxie is determined to transform and revive fusion as well as nina 's self- image . at first , nina lacks confidence but maxie calls in a fashion designer and makeup artist to do a makeover on nina . as soon as she sees herself in the mirror , nina feels transformed with an air of confidence she 's never before known . julian , however , doubts that crimson will succeed and is willing to accept that it will fail and be a tax write - off for him . although they are lacking money for the investments they want , nina assures maxie they need not rely upon julian . she can fund what they need . meanwhile , it appears that although sam wants to move forward with patrick , she may not be ready to divorce jason . patrick wants to `` encourage `` jason to move on with elizabeth and divorce sam . although jason tells him he intends to marry elizabeth , he indicates that he does not `` appreciate `` patrick 's pressure to get him to divorce sam and adamantly tells patrick he 's not going to `` stay away `` from sam just because of patrick 's insecurity . elizabeth later realizes that maybe she needs to let jason go so she surprisingly give him back his ring . sam attempts to find out the `` big secret `` from laura and realizes she is not imagining things to suspect that laura and elizabeth do , in fact , know something about jason which they are not revealing . laura goes to warn nikolas that sam is very near to finding out the secret although she has not yet .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i feel sorry for jason , really . this is just not his thing . see , he decided to buy sam one of franco 's pieces , and the gallery is all over it . once they see a commission , they do n't let up until the check is signed . can you imagine ? jason 's actually gon na give sam one of those scary crime scene photos to hang over her fireplace of something . spinelli : that 's odd , 'cause fair samantha never commented on the enigmatic artist 's work during her security preparations at the gallery . i mean , and stone cold is generous , yes , sometimes to a fault , but he usually gives cash offerings and not tokens of esteem or affection . it 's just weird . maxie : well , jason does n't really know what a woman wants . i mean , he 's gon na spend thousands of dollars a painting that sam probably wo n't even hang in her bathroom , when he could just spend a fraction of the price on like a designer handbag that would carry sam right through spring . you should remember that , spinelli , when you 're trying to keep a woman happy . well , you know how to keep me happy , which is why i love you so much . spinelli : well , i 'm grateful for your faith in me . maxie : and if jason is determined to buy sam a piece of art , the least i can do is make sure he picks out something decent . 'cause when it comes to appreciating that special person in your life , i know right from wrong , that 's for sure . [ scene_break ] jason : what did franco tell you about me ? attendant : i 'm sorry , sir , i do n't know -- sam : oh , i bet you 're not used to dealing with artistic temperaments all the time . attendant : oh , you 're a fellow artist . well , the all black thing should have clued me in . sam : yeah , he and , um , franco were supposed to set up a time to meet and just have never really gotten around to it . attendant : well , that explains it . franco told me you 'd be by , but we did n't know when . he said you 'd want to pick up the piece he left for you . how fortunate . an original franco . a gift from the artist himself . sam : wow . it 's not every day an artist of franco 's caliber shows up to port charles . do you have any idea what the attraction was ? attendant : i would n't know . we never dealt with franco directly . we had no reason to . jason : you know what ? i need to get in touch with franco to tell him how i feel ... about his gift . [ scene_break ] dominic : you 're right . i was out of line . it was n't my place . sonny : you know what , dominic ? there are reasons for the things that i do , and i 'm careful when i go after what i want . obviously it 's working , 'cause i 'm still standing . dominic : johnny ca n't take out tony bianco on his own . sonny : no ? johnny is anthony zacchara 's son . he has the inside track . all i want him to do is get me proof that bianco was working with joey limbo . dominic : then you 'll take care of the rest ? sonny : if necessary . [ sighs ] listen . as far as the personal business , yeah , i have a history with olivia , and would i want to be with her ? yeah . but i 'm not stupid . having johnny killed is not gon na get me that . if i ever end up with olivia , it 's gon na be because ... she chose it . [ scene_break ] attendant : the only contact information we have for franco is his agent in london . although -- hmm -- it 's too late to call tonight . sam : all right , that 's okay . we 're gon na take the piece that franco wanted him to have , and jason will thank him later . attendant : i 'll go get your painting . sam : thank you . attendant : i 'll be right back . jason : what the hell is this franco up to ? sam : well , he obviously wanted to get your attention , and it 's working . jason : i think he 's trying to tell me he knows what i did . [ scene_break ] maxie : i love you , spinelli . you know that , right ? spinelli : of course . i live in attitude every day of my life . maxie : i need you to hear me , though . um , when i was confused about us getting married , i do n't want you to think it 's because i did n't love you enough or because i was waiting for something or someone else to come along , someone famous , let 's say , and hot -- not that i do n't think you 're hot . you 're sizzling . spinelli : we do combust on a fairly regular basis . maxie : i just think my priorities have been mixed up . i was too desperate to get franco to do that photo shoot . spinelli : well , your commitment to your career is legendary . maxie : but nothing matters to me more than you and me and our non - marriage . spinelli : i reciprocate wholeheartedly . but , alas , my own career calls now . my cyber skills are required by stone cold to track down the elusive franco . maxie : that 's what i 'm saying . i think our work is taking over our lives . spinelli : but if i am successful in locating franco , no doubt your charms will work on him and you will deliver on your promise to the glacial one -- maxie : i do n't care about kate . or franco . only you , spinelli . i 've made commitments to you , and i plan on keeping them . spinelli : uh - huh . ohh . [ laughs ] uh , max -- please -- ohh ! [ scene_break ] ethan : so would you ever maybe consider picking up a shift or two at the haunted star ? mike : me ? hah . me , alcohol , and gambling probably should n't work together . kristina : oh , you like coffee , too ? i love coffee . in fact , i just came in to get some , because i have a lot of homework to do . it really helps . ethan : you think you really need more caffeine ? mike : uh , the usual , krissy ? kristina : thanks , grandpa . mike : sure . half caffe and lots of milk . coming right up .

sam : no . i know , maxie . you 've got the best of intentions , and so do i . but i think maybe it 's time that we let mac and alexis kind of figure this out on their own if they want to date . i know . thanksgiving is one thing , but , you know , i -- can i call you back ? [ scene_break ] jax : my brother 's a wanted criminal . he 's been underground for months . well , yeah . that 's all i 'm asking . if you hear from him , please tell him i need to speak with him . carly : hey . what 's wrong ? jax : nothing . just a lot on my mind . hey . carly : hey . jax : what 's up ? carly : so , should lady jane stay with us at the house , or should we get her a suite here ? jax : my mother 's coming to visit ? when ? carly : half an hour . jax : so you invited my mother without telling me . why would you do something like that ?

[ scene_break ] jax : look , we 're jumping to a whole lot of conclusions . i mean , jerry might not even be involved in this whole balkan mess , right ? carly : that 's wishful thinking . jax : yeah . yeah , i guess jerry 's already proven that he will go after anyone if there 's something in it for him . carly : that 's right . and that 's why we need your mother . she 'll help us figure out if jerry 's involved . jax : i just wish i could disconnect from all of this , you know . it 'd be a lot easier if jerry was some stranger . carly : yeah . and he 's counting on you being loyal . jax : i know . carly : and we find a way to stop jerry , and we do it together . [ scene_break ] brenda : you realize what he 's doing , right ? he 's about to put us in the middle , which , in my opinion , is incredibly unfair . jason : you know how dangerous jerry is . brenda can not leave this apartment for any reason . spinelli : the jackal is well aware of the grave danger that -- jason : i 'm trusting you to keep brenda here , no matter what she tries to pull . brenda : i 'm not going to pull anything on spinelli . jason : i do n't care if she begs or she cries or she asks you to elope . spinelli : elope ? heh . i 'm sure such a thing never occurred to the divine one . jason : and do n't turn your back . she 'll hit you over the head . brenda : oh , thanks for bringing that one up . that 's really -- i was desperate that day . i would never hit you over the head . spinelli : the jackal should not fail to protect the divine one , even from herself . jason : good . do n't play any games with this guy , okay ? brenda : yeah -- i -- i have plans . [ door shuts ] brenda : you see how manipulative he is ? spinelli : well , he spends a lot of time with the valkyrie . they 're the dearest of friends . you know the valkyrie 's come to depend on the jackal for -- brenda : i have a date with sonny , and it 's going to be totally fine , because remember , we were talking about it the other day -- i could n't be any safer than when i 'm with sonny . spinelli : sadly , the divine one could not be more wrong . [ scene_break ] sonny : worrying about brenda is part of your job . it 's very personal to me . but we 're both aiming for the same thing , right ? dante : yeah . your motives are your motives . i just want to catch the balkan and make sure brenda stays alive . sonny : well , that 's what i want , too . and i do n't want her to be a target , but the fact that she is , for me , is good because she came back here , and it let us have a second chance . dante : i thought you did n't want to see her anymore . sonny : well , you know -- [ sighs ] we talked , and we made peace , and i know for me , it 's going to be very painful to love her again . but i think it 'd be more painful if i did n't see her . but you know what ? until this thing with the balkan is over , we do n't know what we 're going to do next . dante : and she 's going back to rome or something , is n't she ? sonny : we 'll get to that when we get to that . but the thing is what you need to do is just be a good detective . i 'll keep brenda close to me with guards . i 'm going to pick her up this afternoon . we 're going to -- you know , i 'm going to be with her day and night if she lets me . dante : why are you telling me all this stuff ? sonny : why ? i do n't know . maybe i just want you to understand me a little more . dante : i understand . you and brenda are together , and you want me to keep her safe . that about sums it up , right ?

[ scene_break ] kristina : would you rather start with physics or history ? michael : uh , history , but if physics is more important for you , i 'm fine with that . glass of water ? kristina : uh , no , thanks . would you be offended if i told you sometimes i 'm jealous of your life ? i mean , yes , you 're still on probation , and you 're sleeping on dante 's couch , but on the other hand , you get to live with our brother who does n't care what you do as long as you do n't get arrested . it 's like semi - being an adult and on your own . michael : yeah . dante 's been pretty great . kristina : and none of the stuff at school seems to bother you . you hardly worry about your grades while i 'm stressing out over every assignment . michael : you get straight a 's , krissy . there 's no better grades you can get . kristina : well , not completely . okay . not that much . i like being smart . i do n't mind working hard . but your grades are almost as good as mine , and you barely seem to care . have you applied to a single college yet ? michael : no . i 'm sorry . you have to go off to yale all by yourself . kristina : see what i mean ? you can joke about it . you wo n't feel like your whole life will be ruined if you do n't get into the college your mom went to . michael : look . let 's be honest . we both know dad would pay any amount of tuition for any school that 's willing to take us , right ? and since ex - cons are kind of out of the running for any status schools , i do n't have as much pressure on me . it 's different for you . you keep pushing yourself to be perfect . kristina : yeah . well , i tried being a rebel , but that did n't work out so great . i just want to focus on school so i can excel and get into college and pretend like last year never happened .

[ sniffles ] robert : we kill faison . can you go on with your life ? i mean , can you walk into the police department , sit behind that big desk , and uphold the law that we 've just broken ? can you -- can you even look at yourself in the mirror ? can you look at robin ? what about emma , knowing the truth ? you 'd better be damn positive about this , because once we 've done it , there ai n't no going back . anna : i know . i 've thought about it . i 've thought about the consequences , and i know that if i make this decision , i have to live with it for the rest of my life . but just knowing that robin will live the rest of hers in safety and that emma will never have to endure the things that we 've gone through -- i can live with it . i want you to know ... i can live with wiping you off the face of the earth . the question you need to ask is if you can live with yourself if we do n't do this . nikolas : i 'm sorry . d - did you just say that brad was n't ben 's father ? because -- because if you did , i do n't -- i do n't understand . like , what have we been doing this -- britt : no . no . just -- just -- just hold on . that -- that 's -- that 's not what i meant . nikolas : it 's not ? well , then , what did you mean ? britt : that i do n't think of brad as ben 's father . i mean , he 's just a sperm donor . that 's it . and for me or anyone else to expect more of him , it 's not right . nikolas : okay . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . britt : no , do n't be . please . nikolas : no , i should n't have assumed the worst like that . it 's just kind of the way you said it . britt : well , i 've only given you a hundred reasons not to trust me , so ... nikolas : yeah . we 're past that now , right ? and , for the record , i think it 's very gracious of you to be worried about brad , but what about you ? britt : it was an arrangement . end of story . brad is no more ben 's father than a stranger on the street . nikolas : i - i 'm sorry . i just do n't think that 's entirely true . britt : why not ? because they share dna does n't make someone a father . look at mine . now , you -- that phone call you just had with spencer -- that 's a father . that 's a family . lucy : wow . wow , wow , wow . that was so [ sniffles ] absolutely beautiful . [ laughs ] patrick : do you need a minute ? lucy : yeah , i do need a -- no . no . i 'm good . okay . so , now is the time for the exchange of the rings . uh ... best maid , that 's your cue . elizabeth : oh , yeah . the -- the -- the rings . of course . um ... patrick : elizabeth ? elizabeth : yeah , it 's just -- patrick : you have the rings , right ? felix : you looking for these ? you handed these off to me for safekeeping . wise precaution . elizabeth : felix . sabrina : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : there you go . lucy : sabrina ... sabrina : okay .

[ grunts ] britt : [ chuckles ] nikolas : can you believe it 's only been five months since we met ? britt : uh , fourth of july . i was having a really bad night . nikolas : that makes two of us . britt , i just -- i just want you to know that -- that since then ... you really mean a lot to me . did it happen fast ? yeah , it did . was it under some , uh ... intense , uh ... perhaps treacherous circumstances ? britt : [ laughs ] nikolas : yeah . you bet . but i - i do n't -- i do n't want whatever it is that we have between us to change . i do n't want to go backwards . britt : what are you saying ? nikolas : spend the night with me . britt : nikolas , i do n't -- i do n't know . nikolas : we do n't -- we do n't have to do anything . we just -- we 've both been through so much . i do n't want to be anywhere else but right next to you tonight . anna : i know what i have to do . if you ca n't handle this , you should leave . robert : hey .

[ giggles ] patrick : today is n't just about me and sabrina . this is about you , too -- the family that we 're gon na become . sabrina : do you want to help us light the candle ? emma : yeah . lucy : and while they are doing that , epiphany johnson is going to sing a very , very special song . this is a song that 's near and dear to our bride and groom 's hearts . epiphany : you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore i know you think there 's no way out like you 've been living in the dark but you do n't have to feel alone i know you 're reaching up for the sky and you keep searching for that light but you do n't have to search anymore we 'll be the hands to hold you up we 'll be the eyes to help you see we are here , we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here , we are now we are one you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore we 'll be the hands to hold you up we 'll be the eyes to help you see we are here , we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here , we are now we are one you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore you 're not alone you 're not alone anymore knock 'em dead , drake jr . lucy : [ crying ] thank you so much , epiphany . that was beautiful . wow . my goodness . this has been quite an emotional day . i guess all that 's left is the `` i dos . `` jerry : right on time ! luke : nice ride ! jerry : now , this is what 's gon na happen -- you give me the cure , i give you your sister ! it 's quite a bargain for such a lovely creature -- and feisty , too ! carly : what are you waiting for ? ! give him the damn vial ! jerry : come on ! bobbie : no ! jerry : it 's quite a fall -- one barbara jean would n't survive ! luke : you think that he is gon na keep his promise ? ! carly : what choice do we have ? ! luke : i heard your plan ! i do n't like it ! i like mine better ! jerry : you would n't dare ! luke : oh , never dare a spencer , jerry ! we always take a dare , do n't we , ladies ? ! carly : what are you doing , luke ? ! luke : you let go of my sister , or i let go of this ! lucy : sabrina ... do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband , to have and to hold from this day forward , for better or for worse , for richer or for poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and to cherish , until death do you part ? wow . that 's a mouthful , is n't it ? sorry . do you ? sabrina : i do . lucy : patrick ... do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife , to have and to hold from this day forward , for better or for worse , for richer or for poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and to cherish until death do you part ? britt : [ gasps ] oh . nikolas : hey , hey . it 's okay . okay ? britt : sorry .

robin gets to the church in time for patrick and sabrina 's wedding , but she stands at the door and watches instead of going inside . she remains silent when lucy asks if anyone knows a reason why patrick and sabrina should not be we d . patrick , sabrina , and emma each take a candle to light a center candle as epiphany sings a song . lucy says the only thing left is the vows .

[ camera shutter clicks ] anna : and , um , we are coordinating with federal and international agencies . we 're doing everything possible to recover baby girl jerome . franco : we ca n't just keep her . dropping her off somewhere is the best thing for her . it 's the best thing for us . nina : um ... shhh . stop talking . and do as i say , okay ? just put your nose -- put your nose right there . just put your nose right there . smell . that 's love . that is pure joy and love . that 's what you 're gon na be missing if you walk away . anna : we have concrete evidence that ava jerome murdered connie falconeri . however , she disappeared , uh , before we could arrest her , and she 's still on the run . ava : i mean it , silas . i 'm leaving . silas : no . you 're not . ava : i 'm gon na find my daughter before sonny does . i am not gon na let him -- silas : you 're not running from sonny ! you 're on the run from the police . anna : all right , thank you . if there 's no further questions . thank you so much . thank you . reporter : just one more , commissioner . what about the allegations of wrongdoing made against you by dr. liesl obrecht ? nikolas : [ clears throat ] yet another threat to our happiness ? what is your mother menacing us with this time ? anna : just because sonny corinthos is behind bars does not mean that organized crime is gon na shrivel up and die in this town . there are those all too eager to take his place . reporter : and your plan is to shut them down ? anna : oh , it 's my top priority , yes . um , that 's -- that 's really all i have this evening . thank you . thanks . reporter : thanks for your time , commissioner . anna : sure . [ sighs ] lucy : duke ! duke , is that you ? duke : hello , lucy . lucy : `` hello `` ? `` hello , lucy `` ? what do you mean , `` hello , lucy `` ? did you hop the fence ? duke : did i what ? lucy : hop the fence ! what did you do ? did you break out of pentonville ? do you need my help ? are you on the lam or something ? duke : no . nothing as dramatic as that . they dropped the charges . i 'm -- i 'm free . lucy : you are ? ! oh , my god ! i am so happy for you ! you 're free ! i can not believe this ! i am so very happy for you ! it 's awesome ! duke : good to see you , too . [ laughs ] lucy : [ squeals ] luke : so you 're saying this bizarre game of identity theft could still be going on ? lulu : it 's very possible , dad . luke : oh , hell no . if somebody 's gon na commit a crime with this face , it 's going to be me . what are you standing around for , sheriff ? saddle up ! let 's ride out there and get that guy . julian : [ scoffs ] caught me on my way out . fluke : i 'm afraid you 'll have to cancel your trip . i hope you have travel insurance . who am i kidding ? you would n't be able to collect it anyway . lucy : i am so darn happy for you ! i mean , i 'm thrilled ! i guess -- i guess you can kind of tell . 'cause i think -- i - i think i thought that maybe this would n't happen and you would never be free and i was worried , and now you are ! look at you ! you are free ! anna must be so happy . duke : speaking of which ... lucy : [ sighs ] duke : hello , anna . lucy : hey . look at you . look , look , look , look at him ! he is a free man ! i bet you 're ecstatic . this is awesome , is n't it ? anna : yes . yes . i 'm well aware of duke 's legal status . lucy : well , you know , i think alexis is a little wacky sometimes , but i think she is legally worth her weight in gold because look what she did . well , actually , i first got to know alexis when i hired her to do doc 's case . and anyway , i knew she was a keeper then , and she certainly is because look at him . he 's free . look -- he 's out . [ chuckles ] anna : you think alexis orchestrated duke 's release ? lucy : well , yeah . i paid her enough -- i mean , that is what i hired -- hired her to do . anna : well , i mean , yeah . alexis is a wonderful attorney , but she 's not responsible for him leaving pentonville . sonny is . and as we all know , sonny 's help comes at a price . does n't it , duke ? nikolas : clearly i walked in on an argument . britt : same story , different day . it 's about anna and my daddy . dr. obrecht : you will not mention that woman 's name in my presence ! britt : this conversation is over . i 'm going to have some turkey with nikolas , spencer , and my brother . if you want to come , we 'll be in the dining room . let 's go before she ruins my appetite . [ chuckles ] nikolas : is that the best you can manage , britt ? britt : what are you talking about ? nikolas : this little tap dance you 're doing with your mother here . how about you stop lying and start telling the truth ? tracy : luke , you 're not going anywhere . you just got home . luke : and the spud who 's impersonating me is getting further and further away . lulu : dad , you just got back from miscavige . luke : that 's right . i 've been locked up in a little room for almost a year , so what would you have me do now ? just stand around and eat crackers ? dante : well , actually , the pcpd has the situation under control . luke : yeah , well , i would n't use `` pcpd `` and `` control `` in the same sentence . dante : [ scoffs ] luke : i mean , this guy has been impersonating me for almost a year and you people did n't even know it . dante : well , i 'm sorry , luke . we did n't know there were two luke spencers running around town and we had the wrong one pegged as being involved in julian jerome 's crime organization . luke : well , how about the fact that i would n't walk across the street to spit on julian jerome if he was on fire ? now , since you wo n't let me go after ashton , what do you say we go after jerome ? he knew i was in miscavige rotting away . let 's go arrest his sorry ass ! julian : you do n't need to point that thing at me . fluke : sit down , julian . if you prefer , make a run for it . i have no problems shooting you in the back . julian : you wo n't be able to shoot me . my people will take you out before you even have a chance to pull the trigger . fluke : they work for me . they know not to interfere . the only person who might be able to save you would be your lovely sister , ava . but i have a feeling she has problems of her own right now . ava : my baby 's out there with a very unstable woman , and you are not gon na stop me from going after her ! silas : is that really how you want to play this ? i know the truth ! ava : my daughter is with your insane wife ! and i 'm gon na find her now ! silas : you 're not -- you 're not going anywhere . sit down . ava : please . [ breathing heavily ] you let me go , or i swear it , i will do something we 'll both regret . silas : like what ? you 'll kill me like you killed connie falconeri ? nina : you have to admit , it 's pretty great having all of that sweetness in your arms . franco : i 'm not gon na argue with you . nina : do you -- do you want to be a dad ? franco : thought about it . it 's just that , uh ... nina : what ? franco : i 'd highly prefer if the kid were actually , you know , mine . nina : oh , yeah . i know how you feel . beggars ca n't be choosers . she 's here with us now . franco : i suppose it would n't be the first time that i took off with someone else 's baby . [ chuckles ] ava : silas , i do n't have time for this . silas : did you or did you not kill connie falconeri ? ava : it is n't so black and white . you know , there was a lot going on -- silas : it 's a simple `` yes `` or `` no . `` ava : yes ! i did it ! i killed her . but listen to me . it does n't change the fact that ... what are you doing ? silas : anna devane , please . then find her . i have something she wants . franco : i kidnapped elizabeth webber 's youngest son when he was just a newborn . nina : why ? franco : because . it was part of this really elaborate , totally brilliant plan that i had this game that i was playing with this -- sorry -- this guy who 's dead now . does n't even matter . my -- my point is that ultimately i could n't do it . that i - i needed to give the baby to someone , so i gave the baby to the woman who raised me , thinking it would make her happy , because let 's face it , i 'm not anybody 's idea of a perfect son . nina : you did n't feel anything for the baby ? franco : i felt that the baby was better off with betsy . i mean , she 's eccentric , but she 's a good person . nina : so , what i understand is that even though you kidnapped the baby , you still cared for the baby . franco : i 'm not saying that . why are you asking me this ? nina : because i just think that , um ... [ chuckles ] i think that maybe you have , um , buried paternal instincts that you 're not aware of . that 's all . franco : there was a time when ... i very much did want to be a father . i thought of very little else . and then it all came crashing down . nina : what happened ? franco : ava happened . silas : i realize the commissioner is in the field , but i promise you , she 'll want to hear this . no , i do not want her voicemail ! you know what ? never mind . just forget it . ava : thank you . silas : i 'm sure sam has anna 's cell phone number . ava : silas , please do n't . silas : is that what connie said to you right before you shot her ? ava : i did something very wrong . silas : that 's one way to describe it . ava : i lied to you . i took advantage of our relationship . but i had to get away from the police . i could n't be sitting in a cell while my baby is still out there with franco and nina ! silas : do not use the baby , all right ? do n't keep doing that . ava : i did n't get to hold her . i did n't even get to see her face . so , yeah . i lied to you . i played you . and i 'm sorry . but make no mistake . i would do worse than that . i would do anything at all for my children . and do n't you pretend you 're any different . silas : different from you ? damn right i am . ava : tell me you would n't move heaven and earth , you would n't tell any lie to keep your family together . britt : i 'm not lying . mother , tell him . dr. obrecht : you know perfectly well that britta and i do n't see eye to eye on the topic of cesar . nikolas : you 've seen how hard i 've been working to teach spencer about being honest , right ? so why do n't you set a good example and start telling me the truth ? britt : you only heard part of the conversation , nikolas . nikolas : well , you just claimed that your mother was upset about faison , but i just heard her asking you why you could n't just be happy for her . britt : well , you must have misunderstood . nikolas : come now . [ as dr. obrecht ] `` can you not just be happy for mutti ( mommy ) ? `` [ normal voice ] do n't make it worse by lying again . just tell me what you 're keeping from me . alexis : slow down . we 're gon na make sure that you 're okay and get you checked out after everything you 've been through . luke : look , as grateful as i am to you , natasha , for busting me out , we know that jerome was responsible for this . dante : what are you talking about ? luke : it was julian who led her to my padded cell at miscavige . alexis : well , we do n't know all the facts . luke : we know that he 's been working with my double the whole time . tracy : if julian is allowed to escape like larry -- dante : okay , can everyone just chill out for a second ? i 'm on this . lucy : what do you mean , sonny 's help comes with a price ? anna : oh , uh , well , that sonny arranged for duke to avoid all charges in exchange for services rendered . lucy : and , uh , what kind of services ? anna : did n't you tell lucy about your new job ? lucy : hey , you got a new job ? that 's -- that 's great . duke : [ chuckles ] lucy : maybe it 's great . is it great ? anna : ah , yes . he 's just been so busy doling out hugs . lucy : oh , you mean earlier . well , that -- that was a `` get out of pentonville `` hug . i give those to everybody who gets out of pentonville .

[ sniffs ] ooh . how i 've missed it . lulu : you 've missed a lot . luke : mm - hmm . yeah . i hear you have a son . lulu : yeah . rocco . it 's pretty much the best thing ever . just had his first birthday in september . luke : wait a minute . how can you have a kid that old ? dr. obrecht : typical cassadine paranoia . nikolas : excuse me ? dr. obrecht : i am happy . in fact , deliriously happy , as the americans say , my cesar is no longer a prisoner in your stables . not that it 's any of your business . you eavesdropped on a private conversation . nikolas : a conversation that took place in my home , a conversation that is yet to be explained . why are you dragging this out ? what do n't you want me to know ? spencer : if someone does n't carve up that bird , it 's gon na come back to life and gobble up on out of here ! where 's my hat ? nikolas : spencer , wait in the dining room , please . spencer : why ? what 's going on ? dr. obrecht : your father is n't done yelling at britta . nikolas : do n't speak to my son . spencer : why are you yelling at britt ? dr. obrecht : he believes britta 's a liar . britt : mother . dr. obrecht : but we know better , do n't we , spencer ? tell papa that britta would never lie to him . lulu : it 's a long , crazy story . tracy : maybe now is not the time . lulu : that 's true . all that matters is that you have an amazing grandson . the details can wait . luke : all right , but i do want to hear them , 'cause that sounds fascinating . but tell me about him . does he , uh , know how to hold a deck of cards ? lulu : [ laughs ] luke : can he throw dice ? what kind of food does he like ? lulu : oh , please . you 've never cared about that stuff . luke : [ sighs ] well , being locked away from your family for 10 months can change your priorities . i want to make up for every day that bastard stole from me . julian : you 're gon na shoot me because you screwed up ? fluke : insults wo n't save you . julian : you botched your bid for elq , and you took off for parts unknown . you were gone for months . now , if you did n't like how events unfolded while you were gone , guess what ? too damn bad . fluke : you have no idea how you undercut me , how you interfered with my plans . julian : well , if you would have , uh , clued me in , i would have been better equipped to fulfill said plans . hell , i do n't even know your name . your real name . fluke : is that your dying wish ? to know my real name ? very well . i 'm a forgiving man . the awful truth is , my real name i -- [ door slams open ] anna : julian jerome , you 're under arrest ! you . fluke : you got here just in time . he was about to leave the country . anna : put the gun down . fluke : easy . it 's me , luke , your amigo . anna : no . we are definitely not amigos . dante : and you 're not luke . luke 's at the quartermaines ' . fluke : what are you talking about ? dante : we know what whoever you are and julian did to luke spencer . fluke : you mean what julian and that fake did to me . i am the real luke spencer . julian : do not listen to him . dante : you know what ? shut up , both of you . the easy way to solve this -- luke 's prints are on file . we take this guy downtown and run his prints . simple as that . anna : agreed . [ gun cocks ] anna : you 're coming with us one way or the other , either in cuffs or a body bag . which would you prefer ? alexis : i 'm just pointing out the extenuating circumstances as any competent lawyer would highlight during a trial . ned : oh . the sad tale of how julian was forced into a life of crime ? why he should n't be held responsible ? we 'll see how that story holds up against what he did to luke . alexis : what happened to luke was unforgivable , but i 'm telling you that julian was under duress the whole time because his boss , this counterfeit luke , was pulling the strings . he 's also the one that put luke in miscavige . that person , by the way , might be your father . lulu : i should go up to the nursery and check on rocco . if he 's awake , i will bring him down to meet grandpa luke . luke : oh , well , now , do n't go to any trouble on my account . the rugrat takes priority . lulu : you got it . you 're really here . luke : yes . and i 'm not going anywhere . so give my little rocco a big kiss . alone at last . tracy : mm - hmm . luke : what 's the matter ? cat got your tongue ? tracy : i 'm thirsty . luke : well , if there was ever a time for a drink , it 's now . [ glass shatters ] tracy : ohh ! spencer : father , britt does n't tell lies anymore . dr. obrecht : exactly . we 've tried to explain to your father , but he does n't understand . nikolas : this is a grownup conversation . it does n't involve you . spencer : it does so . britt : spencer , listen to your father . spencer : but someone has to make him understand ! it 's not your fault ! it 's mine ! nikolas : come here . what is your fault ? dr. obrecht : the boy can not stand to see you and britta fight . no doubt he 's afraid you 'll cast her out for some imagined slight and leave him without his only maternal influence . nikolas : what do you know about this ? ava : do n't you get it ? if you turn me in , i 'm dead . silas : from what i can tell , sonny 's had more than one opportunity to kill you and you 're still breathing . ava : the only reason sonny did n't kill me after i gave birth was because of michael . there is nothing stopping him now . if you turn me in , the next thing you 'll hear is that i supposedly committed suicide in jail . and everything you did for me and my baby will be for nothing . what about kiki ? silas : what about her ? ava : what will you say to her ? that you had the chance to save me and you refused ? and what about my baby ? what will you tell her when she 's old enough to ask what became of her mother ? nina : ava stole a baby from both of us . having this beautiful , beautiful little girl fall into our arms is meant to be . franco : i do n't know . i mean , taking a baby out of revenge ... nina : i - i completely -- franco : not a great way for a little girl to start her life . nina : i - i think that we 're working in her best interest . franco : how is that in her best interest ? nina : franco , ava -- she ca n't raise her baby when she 's in prison . and let 's be honest , any corinthos is a bad corinthos . franco : yeah , no argument there . nina : yeah , so we 're the best option . do you have any other ideas ? franco : what about kiki ? nina : kiki . come on . she 's a child herself . she ca n't raise a baby . franco : i do n't know . got to be another option . nina : the best option is the one that she has -- us . right ? us . franco : [ chuckles ] nina : so , what do you think ? say yes . be her father . nina : you know i 'm right . we should be her parents . franco : what about the police ? nina : what about the police ? franco : they 're looking for a man and a woman and a baby . nina : we 'll keep a low profile . franco : we 'll stick out like a sore thumb . nina : no , we 're not . we 're gon na keep -- franco : she 's gon na slow us down . nina : speed is overrated . i mean , come on . we already made it into canada . we 've gone through two countries worth of law enforcement . we can do this . franco : yeah , i guess we could . nina : we could ? does that mean you 're gon na do it ? you 're gon na stay with us ? franco : yeah . that 's what that means . silas : you murdered someone and you want me to just look away . ava : i do n't have anybody else to turn to , silas . julian is out of my reach . my mother is useless . kiki has turned her back on me . silas : well , do you blame her ? ava : no , i do n't blame her ! i 'm a killer ! i have blood on my hands . i do n't deserve happiness or freedom or anything good ever again . but i 'm also a mother . i have to find my child . she 's been stolen . and she 's so tiny and helpless . and right now , she 's at the mercy of a lunatic and a seriously evil man ! i do n't care if i have to crawl on my hands and knees . i 'm gon na find my little girl . so do n't help me , silas . do n't do a damn thing but turn your back , and i 'll be gone . please , silas . if you ever loved me , if i ever meant anything to you at all ... go back to port charles ... and forget you saw me . nikolas : you remember what we talked about the other day ? spencer : the lecture ? nikolas : yes . about being honest , about not telling lies ? spencer : honesty is good . lying is bad . nikolas : you know how proud i was of you when you were honest about what happened while you were hiding out with josslyn ? what happens when you tell the truth ? spencer : it makes up for all the tricks and fibs i pull . nikolas : fathers and sons should be able to trust each other , right ? spencer : yes . nikolas : you trust me ? spencer : yes . nikolas : well , i want to trust you , too . i want to know that we can be honest with each other , but the way you 've been acting lately makes me feel like we 're not as tight as we should be . is that what you want ? spencer : no ! nikolas : then it 's time to confess . britt : stop . please . you do n't have to pressure spencer . i 'll tell you everything you want to know . duke : i respect sonny . he 's run his business very successfully for many years with the minimum amount of casualties . lucy : okay , great . but he 's still an alleged crime boss , which means whoever is taking over the business for him is also an alleged crime boss , and that makes him -- that makes you a target , and there is nothing alleged about that . duke : do you know what they call that ? it 's called an occupational hazard . lucy : oh , duke . you 're taking an awfully big risk for sonny . duke : sonny has treated me with a great deal of respect and honor . i intend to do the same for him . lucy : okay , no , no , no , wait , listen to me . i get it . okay . i - i - i get it . i get that this honor business is huge in your profession . it 's very important . and i 'm sure there are a lot of very attractive elements also in your profession and you 'd be very , very powerful and you 'd hang out with powerful people and the people would treat you with a lot of deference . and by the way , i guess you probably never would wait in line again for anything in your whole entire life . who would n't like that ? duke : who , indeed . lucy : but there 's a downside , and you know it . not to mention you would be that target . but also your girlfriend is the police commissioner . come on . i really think this could cost you anna . duke : it already has . anna : go ahead . try me . fluke : guess you got me . anna : put the gun on the table , slow . fluke : anything you say , commissioner . anna : okay , go . get him . get the gun . where are you going ? julian : just out of the way . anna : okay . cuff him . luke : you been spending time with corinthos ? tracy : do n't . luke : tracy , `` do n't `` what ? tracy : do n't quip . do n't make a joke out of it . it 's obscene . someone with your face had you locked up in miscavige for almost a year while he made himself comfortable in your life ! luke , i married him ! i had sex with him ! luke : yeah , well , i 'm gon na obliterate him for that . tracy : it 's not about what he did . it 's about what i did , what i did n't do . luke : you 've lost me . tracy : how could i let him get so close ? ! how could i not know ? ! luke : tracy , he was good . he had my whole history . he had my face ! tracy : oh , luke , i ignored my instincts ! i rationalized his behavior ! i completely refused to believe ned 's warnings , michael 's warnings , even kiki ! and the whole time , you were locked up in an insane asylum ! i was a blind , stupid fool , and you paid the price ! luke : you listen to me . it 's over . i 'm here . and i 'm not going anywhere soon . tracy : [ sobs ] luke : oh , baby . tracy : i 'm so sorry ! luke : shh . tracy : i 'm so sorry ! i 'm so sorry ! luke : no . shh . shh . fluke : oh . dante : you have the right to remain silent . anna : wait , wait . let 's see who we 're arresting first . ava : let me go . i have to find my baby . you know it 's the right thing to do . silas : ca n't do what you 're asking . ava : you 're turning me in ? silas : no . ava : but ... you just said you -- you wo n't ... silas : i 'm not letting you go , ava . not by yourself . regardless of what you 've done , we have to go find your baby . and i 'll be damned if i let sonny kill you . nina : you 're not gon na regret this . we 're -- we 're just -- we 're gon na make a bitchin ' family . franco : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . we are gon na be an unconventional family . nina : yeah . franco : you know , we ca n't get caught now . nina : we 're not gon na get caught . i promise . never . it 's just you and me and baby makes three . nikolas : go wait in the dining room . spencer : but , father , i -- nikolas : go ! britt : spencer , do what your father asks . everything will be fine . nikolas : what is it ? dr. obrecht : britta , do n't . britt : [ clears throat ] it 's about the few days that spencer [ sniffles ] ran away . nikolas : what about them ? britt : there 's more to it than you know . nikolas : what else could there be , britt ? britt : who was behind it . nikolas : behind spencer running away . britt : it was me . duke : something i 've always admired about anna -- she 's true to herself . well , you know , i am , too . if she ca n't accept what i 'm doing , then ... it 's just the way it is . lucy : but you do love each other . duke : yes . we do . lucy : [ sighs ] and you 've been through so much . i mean , you were apart for decades , and then you found each other again . that was hugely romantic , and it was real . and the way you looked at each other , that was real , too . duke : do you notice how you just used the past tense ? lucy : i - i misspoke . duke : no . i do n't think you did . anna and i are no more . [ chuckles ] julian : i hope you have some covert wsb interrogation techniques . this guy wo n't give up his name willingly . anna : i do n't need his cooperation . fluke : you have grown ruthless since our last date . anna : no , i was always ruthless . dante : you know , commissioner , you do n't want to do anything you might regret . guy 's wearing a mask . why do n't we just take it off ? anna : yeah . i have first - hand experience with this kind of situation . fluke : touch me and you will regret it . anna : really ? would you prefer a pot of hot oil ? fluke : be gentle . ned : if my father played any part in this fiasco , he 'll get his due . but so should julian . alexis : i never said otherwise . ned : yeah , you kind of did . alexis : you know what ? i am not gon na hang around and defend myself . and this certainly is n't the evening that i imagined for myself . good night . good night . ned : [ sighs ] olivia : you okay ? ned : not until i know for sure what my father has done and just how much it 's gon na cost my family . tracy : i want that lying bastard to pay . luke : he will . i promise you . i 'm gon na get back everything he took from us . anna : my god .

[ scene_break ] sam : one way or another , jason and i will get a divorce , but what does it matter if it happens next week or next month ? patrick : it matters a lot , because the longer you hold on to this marriage , the more clear message you 're sending me about your lack of commitment to us and to our family . sam : are you kidding ? i - i told you what i want . and it 's you and emma ... and me and danny here . why , all of a sudden , is my word not good enough for you ? patrick : that 's not -- no , sam . i trust you . your word is good with me . i just do n't know where our relationship sits right now . sam : are you -- really ? patrick : what it means to you . sam : it means everything to me . patrick : you ca n't honestly say that , because if it did , you would n't take off after jason halfway across the world , putting yourself in danger . sam : do n't do that . you said you were okay with that . patrick : i see you flicking around with his ring , contemplating a marriage you said you were moving on from . sam : how can you , out of everybody , not understand what i 'm going through after what you 've been through with robin ? jason is not only alive , but he 's been living in this town for the past year . and it is really frustrating and confusing and wonderful and difficult . and at the same time , i would really appreciate some patience and sensitivity here . patrick : i 'm trying , sam , i 'm trying . i would just like a sign that you want to do this with me . sam : a sign ? i do n't know what else to tell you . patrick : i do n't want you to tell anything . i want you to do something . move on with the divorce . sam : i ca n't , patrick . not until i know the truth . patrick : the truth about what ? sam : whether or not nikolas and elizabeth knew who jason was before carly told him .

[ scene_break ] tracy : what makes you think my plan wo n't work ? hayden : because it 's based on the premise that nikolas is a fool , and you do n't strike me as the kind of woman who underestimates her enemies . tracy : i do n't . hayden : it 's been almost a month since we found out jason was alive , and you can bet nikolas has had people working around the clock to figure out a way to cut jason out of elq . tracy : he ca n't do it . he does n't have the power . hayden : maybe he does . maybe he does n't . but that wo n't stop him from keeping your family in court for years . while your lawyers are shuffling papers , nikolas will liquidate every inch of elq down to the paper clips . if the day comes that you finally do get your company , all that will be left is the name . or we stick to my plan . tracy : it 's taking too long . hayden : i 've got a little something in the works . and if it goes the way i am almost positive it will , nikolas will be firmly under my thumb . tracy : what 's the something ? hayden : all you need to know is payday is coming -- sooner than you think . [ scene_break ] nikolas : mother , i 'm sorry . there is no way that sam is gon na believe anything that a child said in a game of what essentially equates to telephone . laura : but what this child said -- listen to me -- was the truth . and whatever it was that he said to sam , she believed it . nikolas : well , that 's fine . but you did n't say anything , right ? laura : no , no ! i mean , did i do the right thing ? did i tell the truth ? no , i did n't . i actually said that ... [ sighs ] that i thought jake had an active imagination . nikolas : that 's great . that 's what sam needs to believe at the moment . laura : and what about the next moment and the next and on and on ? oh , come on . do n't you find this exhausting ? nikolas : of course , i find it exhausting . but i also find it quite necessary . laura : so that you can hold on to the life to which you 've always been accustomed to ? nikolas : no . look , no . this is not just about hanging on to elq . laura : i hope not , nikolas . i hope that you 're not playing god in jason 's life just for money . nikolas : i 'm not . i 'm not . this is about staying true to elizabeth . she loves jason . she wants to have a life with jason . and after everything she 's suffered , who am i to deny her of that ? laura : but the longer this goes on , the more elizabeth is going to be hurt when this thing just topples like a house of cards . and it will . nikolas : so , what would you have me do ? you want me to tell the truth ? laura : yes . that is exactly what i would tell you to do . just let it out , honey , and be done with it . [ scene_break ] jason : carly does n't speak for me . elizabeth : [ sighs ] babe , i know . and normally , i would n't listen . but this time , carly was able to articulate something that i 've been thinking about for a while , and i just have n't been able to admit . i am holding you back . jason : from what ? elizabeth : now that you know who you are , you need to be in a place where there are no distractions . jason : okay . all right , look . you are not a distraction . you 're far from it . elizabeth : you need to decide what part of your old life you want to reclaim , and what part you want to renounce . and you ca n't do that . you ca n't make an honest decision with this around , with me and the boys and all the promises you 've made . it 's just -- it 's not fair to you . jason : are you telling me to leave , or are you leaving me ? [ scene_break ] patrick : so , you 're saying that elizabeth and nikolas knew who jason was this entire time ? sam : i do n't know for how long , but yes . patrick : why do you say that ? sam : well , after hayden was shot , she said that someone else knew who jake really was , and i think she was talking about nikolas . patrick : so you 're taking hayden 's word on that , sam ? sam : not only that . on thanksgiving , i overheard jake talking to danny . patrick : little jake ? elizabeth 's son jake ? sam : yes , and he was telling danny that elizabeth and laura were keeping a secret about his father . patrick : so , now it 's elizabeth and nikolas , and laura 's involved , too ? sam : i know how this sounds . patrick : and now you 're listening to a con artist and a child ? sam : actually , i confronted laura on it . patrick : oh , well , let me guess . she admitted it , right ? sam : no , of course she did not admit it . but she did n't have to . it was written all over her face . i could tell by the sound of her voice . she knew i was on to her . patrick : what if you 're right ? what if everybody 's keeping jason in the dark . what do they get out of it ? sam : jason is a threat to nikolas ' control of elq . patrick : okay , but that 's nikolas . what about elizabeth ? elizabeth loves jason , right ? sam : what about elizabeth ? ! let me tell you a thing or two about your dear friend , saint elizabeth . she can lie to get what she wants , just like anyone else . and she wants jason . she 's wanted him for years . and like a miracle , he 's dropped out of the sky without any memory ? all she has to do is keep him in the dark , and she gets to have him ? you do n't think she 's gon na take her chances at that ? patrick : i do n't think she 's capable of that level of deceit . sam : [ scoffs ] then you do not know your friend at all . patrick : let 's just say you 're right , okay ? jason knows the truth . he chose elizabeth . so what does it matter when she knew the truth ? sam : because he deserves to know . patrick : what do you get out of exposing this supposed lie ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm not leaving you . jason : no , you 're just telling me it 's okay if i leave you . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i 'm embarrassed by the way i reacted when the truth came out . there you were , standing in the church , trying to process this huge revelation , and all i could think about was just going through with the wedding . i was truly only thinking about myself . jason : you know , i think you 're just being too hard on yourself . elizabeth : no . no , i 'm just being honest . i was n't focused on what you were going through . i was just thinking about how much i love you and how afraid i am to lose you . jason : so , now you 're telling me that you 're ready to lose me ? elizabeth : i never had you to begin with .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you do n't want to stay with your mom and me ? morgan : i appreciate everything you 've done for me my whole life . but living with my parents right now would be a disaster . sonny : how do you figure ? morgan : i would feel like you and mom were watching me all the time , and that 's because you will be . sonny : no , we wo n't . morgan : please . you 're gon na tell me that you and mom are n't gon na be huddled together , asking , `` is morgan taking his pills ? is morgan mad ? is he sad ? is he going off the rails ? `` i ca n't take that . you guys are gon na cause yourselves an ulcer stressing about me . sonny : we 're gon na stress about you regardless of where you 're living . but we 're gon na stress even more if you 're someplace else , because we ca n't keep an eye on you . morgan : exactly . this is what i 'm saying . sonny : i 'm not talking about constantly . i 'm talking about , you know , we do n't have a nanny cam monitoring you . we 're your parents . morgan : you do n't get it . sonny : we 're worried about you . morgan : you do n't get it . sonny : help me understand , then , morgan . morgan : you 're sitting here -- you 're talking to me , dad , like nothing 's changed . i 'm not your son anymore . sonny : well , you are my son . you 're always gon na be my son . morgan : you know what i mean . sonny : no , i do n't . listen , you 're my son today the same as you were yesterday , the same as you were when you were born . morgan : i 'm not the same . i 'm not . okay , i 'm the weak one . i 'm the one that has something wrong with them -- before , when i was a baby , and i did things wrong , it was because i was a baby . but now there 's a reason . i 'm sick , dad . sonny : no , morgan , that 's not -- morgan : i 'm sick , and you and mom want to act like nothing 's wrong , like i 'm still your son . but i 'm not just your son . i 'm your patient , too , now .

laura goes to urgently talk to nikolas and tells him it looks like the `` jig is up `` for both him and elizabeth hiding that they knew jason was alive and the same guy known as jake , yet kept it a secret . he tells his mom he 's not worried yet she urges him to come clean and to persuade elizabeth to do the same . he tells her he 's not going to expose and hurt elizabeth with the secret and ruin her future with jason . elizabeth will lose her man and be shattered if the truth comes out . his mom tells him that there will be less damage if he and elizabeth come clean before they both get exposed for their scam . he could go to prison and lose elq , she reminds him . laura tells her son that if he reveals what he knows , he will no longer `` need `` hayden to stay with him and he 'll be able to get rid of her . yet laura sees her son and hayden reveal that they want to stay together . sam tells patrick she has to get to the bottom of what she heard little jake reveal about elizabeth and laura keeping a secret . hearing that , patrick continues to demand sam tell him why jason is so important to her if she wants to move on with him ( patrick ) . he asks her why she 's stalling on her divorce to jason . she becomes angry and does not appreciate his hastiness . he concludes that sam does not love him the way he needs her to love him . meanwhile , elizabeth realizes she `` can not hold jason back `` . she does not reveal what she knew and kept from him . however she does reveal that she has to let him go , break off their engagement because she 's `` afraid of losing him `` . hearing those two `` contradictory statements `` , he is confused . she attempts to `` clarify `` that he `` was never hers ' to begin with `` . he still seems to suspect nothing and makes it clear he does not want to lose her or break off their engagement or wedding plans . morgan talks to dr. maddox and confirms to his dad , privately , that he knows he 's bi polar . he 'll take his meds and accept his fate . he 's `` ok `` until sonny `` suggests `` that he moves back home with his parents . at that point , morgan furiously yells to his dad he 's not going to do that . he can not be stuck in their house , have to face them and be their `` patient `` . meanwhile , although maxie sees `` financial reservations `` for funding what both she and nina hope to accomplish for crimson , nina tells her she has no worries . she 's ready to fun it all . she urges maxie to not only `` think outside the box `` , but to smash the box . hearing that and getting ready to officially get out her mallet to celebrate their goal , maxie comes up with the perfect idea . remembering talking to dillon , hearing that he 's leaving town and afraid he 's not welcome here , urging him not to run away , but accepting that he 's made up his mind to go , maxie now has an idea to `` turn this around `` by having dillon a part of what she and nina need for crimson .

[ scene_break ] ava : let me know when you want some water . julian : i 've never seen this side of you , ava . i had no idea that you could be so solicitous . ava : yeah . it keeps my mind off the frustration i feel dealing with a completely inept police department that has n't done a damn thing to get justice for you . julian : yeah , i need you to dial it down just a little bit . ava : why , julian ? you have to wake up , here . you have to do something about sonny . this is the second attempt on your life that you have survived . julian : look , i 'm doing everything i can to protect myself , but as you can see , i 'm not at full strength here . ava : well , neither is sonny . he 's under house arrest . he ca n't make a move on you without being thrown back into jail . he 's vulnerable . i would n't miss an opportunity like this . julian : so just what did you have in mind ? [ scene_break ] [ music plays in headphones ] michael : i like your taste in music . is there anything else i should be listening to ? nelle : you know , i have a feeling that some of my music would not be to your taste . michael : really ? well , i 'm open to suggestions . nelle : well , i 'll send you a link to some of my favorites . um , but you know what ? i have a feeling you did n't stop by to explore my playlist . so ... what 's going on ? michael : well , uh , i 'm about to go do some christmas shopping . nelle : mm ! you do n't have an assistant to do that kind of thing for you ? michael : no , i - i like to make my gifts personal , but i have to cheat every now and then ... nelle : mm - hmm . michael : ... which is why i was wondering if you could help me out . nelle : okay . how ? michael : i need a really good gift for my mom , um , and i was hoping i could brainstorm some ideas with you . nelle : yeah , yeah . um , let me go grab the tablet , and i 'll pull up some suggestions for you , okay ? michael : okay . nelle : okay . michael : thank you for this , a - and for everything you did to help out on thanksgiving . nelle : oh , yeah , i mean , it was my pleasure . i hope you and your family had fun after i left . michael : yeah , we -- we managed to make the most of it . i 'm sorry you -- you could n't stick around . were you , uh , able to cheer up your friend ?

[ scene_break ] kevin : [ grunts sleepily ] good morning . laura : it is , is n't it ? kevin : do you have any regrets about throwing caution to the wind , being spontaneous ? laura : none . but i 'll tell you , last night , when i opened up my coat , and santa was staring at me ... kevin : oh , you were gorgeous . laura : ... i was mortified . kevin : i was flattered . laura : [ chuckles ] really ? kevin : yeah , you cared that much to come over , reach out like that . laura : i realized that i 'd been coming up with a lot of silly impediments that are n't really there , when the truth is that ... i love being with you . you 're smart and stimulating and fun to talk to . [ chuckles ] and you 're really kind and perceptive . my life is better with you in it . kevin : well , that feeling is very mutual . [ scene_break ] jason : curtis is an ex - cop , and the police commissioner was his sister - in - law , so i think it 's safe to assume that , uh , he 's sympathetic to law enforcement . so , no , i do n't trust the man , nor will i be sharing any incriminating evidence with him . sam : okay , well , why did you agree to work with him ? jason : well , because , see , my favorite pi , the best one i know -- she got pregnant , and the doctor says that she has to take it easy . sam : i can still run background checks and coordinate with spinelli . just because i 'm pregnant does n't mean i ca n't do my job . jason : i know . i know . and i expect you to do that for me , and i thank you for it . but pretty soon , i 'm gon na have to knock on some doors , maybe even kick them down , and that is where curtis comes in . sam : okay . jason : okay . sam : wait , are you maybe afraid that curtis has some residual loyalty to julian ? jason : no , i do n't . actually , just the opposite . i think that curtis took that job with julian because he needed the paycheck . and after julian fired him , well , curtis left some , uh , unanswered questions , maybe even a grudge . sam : what if you 're wrong ? what if he is playing you ? jason : chance i got to take . we are running out of time to prove sonny 's innocent . [ scene_break ] sonny : julian got hit by a car ? carly : mm - hmm . it says that he was run down in the parking lot at gene 's branford roadhouse . sonny : yeah , well , i know that place . kind of a dive . well , i do n't -- why would he be there ? carly : i do n't know . i do n't know . the police are investigating it , but he does n't seem to have any information about the driver . sonny : it 's a shame someone did n't just finish julian off . the world would be a better place . you know what i mean ? carly : i do . i 'm not surprised you feel that way . sonny : go ahead . carly : what ? sonny : ask me . did i send someone to run down julian ? [ scene_break ] dante : [ sighs ] a one - night honeymoon is n't enough . lulu : oh , maybe we should leave rocco with my mom and spend some time in a tropical location . dante : all right , or maybe a winter cabin getaway . lulu : oh , we might get snowed in . dante : i like being remarried to you . lulu : [ laughs ] sometimes you need to do things twice to get it right . dante : yeah , you 're right . lulu : [ laughs ] mnh - mnh . mm . mnh - mnh . no , we 're not gon na stand out here and make out like we 're newlyweds . dante : yeah , but that 's what we are . lulu : we are . we are . we 're also parents here to pick up our child . [ chuckles ] we totally messed up rocco 's schedule by leaving him with my mom . dante : let 's go . who then left him with tracy . lulu : who then dropped him off at day care this morning . dante : did tracy say why he wound up ... ? lulu : no , just , uh , she was doing a favor for my mom , and if i wanted to know any more details , i 'd have to ask my mom directly , which is exactly what i plan on doing when my mom meets us here ... dante : all right . lulu : ... for a visit with santa . dante : what 's going on ? lulu : look who 's here . [ scene_break ] nina : are all those for charlotte ? valentin : no , these are donations . i understand santa 's visit is to benefit toys for tots . nina : uh , there 's a donation bin right over there . valentin : you want to help me ? it 's for a good cause . nina : you do n't have to tell me . how do you think i got wrangled into this santa visit ? last year , crimson covered the benefit for toys for tots , and they put me in touch with the charity . all of a sudden , here i am , you know , coordinating santa , wrangling parents for santa 's visit , who , between you and me , is late , you know ? anyway , i should be at work . i do n't know what i was thinking . valentin : it would n't have anything to do with you having a soft spot for children , would it ? nina : uh , maybe just a little . [ scene_break ] kevin : [ sighs ] so ... how do you feel about breakfast in bed ? laura : ohh , you do n't have to do all that for me . kevin : [ chuckling ] i do n't mind . i like to cook . it 's just no fun to cook for one . [ both laugh ] kevin : i mean , who wants to deal with hollandaise and poached eggs or even pancakes just for yourself ? but you -- i would love to cook breakfast for you . laura : what if we cooked breakfast for each other ? unless , of course , you do n't want to share your kitchen with me . kevin : oh , i would love to share my kitchen . okay . [ sighs ] i 've got fresh spinach in the fridge . laura : mm . kevin : you up for the challenge of eggs florentine ? laura : yeah . wait , are you sure you have time for all this ? i mean , what time are you supposed to be at the hospital ? kevin : ooh , the hospital . laura : yeah . kevin : oh . i 'm supposed to be there ... right now . laura : oh . rain check on breakfast ? [ scene_break ] nelle : you should just check out the cooking store on hastings . michael : cooking store . my mom ? no . i do not think that 's a good idea . nelle : hold on . they have some really great pizza stones , okay ? i know all about her love of frozen pizza , so this would be a definite improvement on a microwave . michael : you 're really good at this . nelle : and if all else fails , you can just get her a nice sweater . michael : like one of those , like , ugly christmas sweaters , right ? nelle : no . like a big , comfy , cashmere sweater that she can just throw over her jeans and wear around the house . you know , she dresses up for work , but it 's obvious that her favorite thing to do is just stay at home and hang out with the family . michael : you really do know her . uh [ chuckles ] i -- sounds like i got a lot of shopping to do . nelle : well , have fun . michael : thank you . oh , oh , sorry . there 's , uh -- there 's , uh , one more thing i wanted to ask you before i go . nelle : gift suggestions for joss ? michael : no , she 's actually getting a surfboard . i already had it shipped to australia . nelle : mm ! michael : no , this is , um -- it 's about you . nelle : me ? michael : yes , the , uh -- on monday the 12th , the quartermaines are sponsoring a gala to support toys for tots . nelle : oh , yeah , yeah , i know about that . it was a big success last year , right ? michael : yeah , it 's a lot of fun . it 's a lot of fun . and it 's for a worthy cause . and i was wondering if you 'd like to go with me . [ scene_break ] sonny : go ahead . ask me . carly : i do n't think for one second that you tried to have julian run down in that parking lot . but i 'm sure the police think you do . sonny : probably . um , and i 'm surprised they have n't come here to question me . carly : well , i 'm sure they 're not in a hurry 'cause they know you 're not going anywhere . sonny : that 's true . i ca n't . [ chuckles dryly ] well ... carly : i 'm sorry . i am . i know this is really hard for you . sonny : believe me . you have nothing to be sorry about after what i put you through . carly : okay . look . i 've put you through a lot . sonny : yeah ? carly : when we first lost morgan , i mean , the grief was terrible , and -- and ... the only way to deal with it was anger . and so i fed the anger , and i lashed out at everyone , especially you . i mean ... the grief is n't gone . i mean , it 's still there . but the anger 's faded , and i can see things a little more clearly . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i know that when i asked you not to make a move against julian , you heard me , and you called off the hit , and you 're not responsible for morgan 's death . and that just -- well , it makes the grief a little more bearable . sonny : what you want for our family , what you need , what you 're asking me -- it matters a lot , enough for me to change . if you do n't believe in anything else , believe in that . [ scene_break ] anna : great . thank you . thank you so much . um , how much do you know about valentin 's activities since he 's been back here ? alexis : well , i know that he was able to prove that he 's my father 's sole heir and that he owns the entire cassadine estate , which includes spoon island and wyndemere . anna : oh , good god . did he mention his daughter ? alexis : he has a daughter ? anna : yeah . charlotte . she 's a beautiful little girl . um , her mother led griffin munro to believe that she was his daughter . and that would have made her duke 's granddaughter . alexis : hmm . which explains your interest . anna : yeah . her mother has disappeared -- this little girl 's mother . and valentin came forward with proof that he was her father . griffin challenged that in family court , but we lost , in part because ... it 's impossible to prove any of valentin 's crimes . alexis : so you want dirt on valentin . anna : i want information , like a - a name or a date or a place where i could just start looking . alexis : well , i - i think that the wsb probably knows more about valentin than i do . anna : they do n't . his file is really thin . i know you 've been in contact with the greek authorities . you 've had documents translated and verified . if there 's any information that you can give me about valentin , i would be so grateful . alexis : well , what i can tell you is that i despise him . i really do . but , you know , i got bigger problems right now , namely my ex - husband . [ scene_break ] ava : sonny has already tried to kill you twice . stop him before he tries again , and do it now while he 's basically a prisoner in his own home . julian : a walled estate with armed guards . [ cell phone ringing ] ava : [ chuckling ] oh , come on . like you do n't have anybody who could handle that . julian : ava , this discussion -- it 's over . ava : why ? why are you so hesitant ? julian : the hit - and - run happened to me . the bomb was meant for me . so when the time is right , i 'll deal with this the way i see fit . ava : whatever you say , brother . julian : in the meantime , i advise you not to provoke sonny . the man 's still a threat , and you do n't want to push him . ava : sonny is getting a life sentence at pentonville and whatever they tack on for the hit - and - run . julian : and what if he does n't , okay ? what if sonny gets off ? what then ? ava : well , julian , listening to you , it seems like you think that sonny 's been wrongly accused . julian : all i 'm saying is do n't go borrowing any trouble . ava : all right . i 'll take that under advisement . bye . but for the record , the trouble 's going to be all sonny 's . [ scene_break ] jason : you see , i think the new da is going to want to make a name for herself . and if she 's the one that can finally convict sonny , well , that is a massive get for her . so i do n't think she 's interested in uncovering the truth . i think she 's interested in making a case , and she 's going to want an early trial date . sam : well , i thought diane was gon na stall her . jason : well , she can try , but it does n't help that sonny confessed . sam : i -- but i thought that diane was gon na say that he was a grieving father who was just expressing his regrets . jason : diane can make any argument she wants . it does n't mean that a jury 's going to believe her . and sonny has a murder conviction . even though he was pardoned by the judge , his criminal record is admissible . so ... sam : okay , so the best way to protect sonny is to prove that he 's innocent . this way , the da has to drop the charges , and the case never goes to trial . jason : that is right . that is why i 'm willing to work with curtis or anybody else who can help make that happen . [ scene_break ] carly : has jason made any progress in finding whoever 's responsible for planting the bomb ? sonny : not yet , but he will . carly : okay , so , um , what happens then ? sonny : well , i just hope they have enough evidence so i 'll be exonerated , the charges will be dropped , and i do n't have to go to trial for ... [ sighs ] killing my son . carly : and then ... ? sonny : i 'm not gon na do anything stupid , carly . i mean , i - i do n't want to throw away whatever good thing i have left . carly : i believe you . sonny : thank you . that means a lot . carly : you know , um , we 've had just too much loss not to be honest with each other . sonny : oh , no . [ sighs ] nelle : good morning . sonny : i ca n't believe i have n't even offered you anything . like , you want some coffee or something ? carly : you do n't have to do that , you know . sonny : do what ? carly : deflect . sonny : no . carly : change the subject . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i can tell something 's going on . something 's eating you up inside . you can tell me whatever it is . [ scene_break ] lulu : what is he doing here ? dante : well , it looks like he 's dropping off toys for toys for tots . lulu : why is he hanging so close to nina ? i know that she hooked up with valentin when she thought that he was that theo guy . dante : mm , yeah , and then she 's the one who reported him . so i guess he does n't hold a grudge . valentin : good work like yours deserves a reward , so when santa shows up -- if santa shows up -- maybe i could buy you a hot toddy . lulu : oh , my god ! what -- are they together again ? nina : i 'm afraid my plans are on hold until , or unless , santa shows up . valentin : then why do n't i bring you a proper hot chocolate ? nina : no , thank you . you 've made your generous donation . thank you very much . i should get back to work . valentin : why are you running away from me ? have i done something to offend you ? nina : um ... no , actually , you have n't . but if anna devane is to be believed , you will . [ scene_break ] anna : i thought we could help each other . i see that 's not possible . alexis : no , anna , anna , sit . i 'd be happy to help you . i will tell you everything that i know about valentin . and not that you asked , but i 'm not violating attorney - client privilege , because my license was suspended when i did work for him . so privilege does n't apply . anna : okay , that 's great . thank you . anything . really , any detail could open up a line of inquiry . alexis : just so you know , the work that i did for him was routine . all i did was document his claim to the cassadine inheritance . anna : to his satisfaction . alexis : and the probate judge 's . i was able to establish lineage and -- and track him from early adolescence in the uk . anna : that 's what i want to know . can you -- what do you have about his childhood in the uk ? alexis : not much . i mean , he was a boy , and at 5 years old , he went off to a private school in bedlington . anna : oh . where was his mother in all of this ? alexis : no mention of his mother . and when i questioned valentin , he was very quick to remind me to stay focused on the cassadine side of things . anna : that 's interesting . and the school ? did you get a name at all for this school ? alexis : bedlington academy . not very original , but it should be easy to research . anna : okay . thank you . this is great . this -- i 'll make a call to the bar association on your -- alexis : please , do n't . if i want to get my license back , i need to avoid any impropriety , and it certainly wo n't look good if a wsb agent greases the wheel on my behalf . [ scene_break ] curtis : knock , knock . julian : visiting hours are over . curtis : yeah , well , uh , i happen to know ... they just started . came to pay a visit to the man who just ca n't die . julian : i 'm not in the mood , curtis , so why do n't you get to the point of why you 're here so you can leave ? curtis : yeah , well , look , there was two attempts on your life . now , they tell me third time 's a charm . julian : what do you say ? curtis : i say you need me to find out who 's after you before your luck runs out . [ scene_break ] sonny : so ... [ sighs ] ... here 's the thing . i just got too much -- too much time to think , you know , be alone , and -- and i know i should n't , you know , play that game where you think about something that happened that should n't have happened , and you go back , and you think to yourself , in that moment , if you just could have done something differently -- i know i should n't do that , but i do it , and i do it all the time . carly : you got to stop , though . i understand . i do it , too . you know , in that moment , when you think about the past , or you think about what you could have done differently , you have to stop , and you think about the future . and you think about all the people who love you and who need you . think about avery . [ chuckles ] think about that beautiful , little girl . [ telephone ringing ] sonny : [ sighs ] yeah ? send her up . [ sighs ] so , speaking about that beautiful , little girl avery , uh , guess who 's here to visit ? carly : ava ? what is she doing here ? sonny : we will soon find out . [ knock on door ] sonny : what do you want , ava ? ava : we have to talk . i - i 'd rather not do it on your doorstep . sonny : suit yourself . ava : thank you . you know , sonny , i 'm -- i 'm certainly hoping that we can keep this civilized . sonny : uh - huh . ava : and -- oh . hello . carly , i did n't realize that you 'd be visiting . carly : here i am . ava : i - i intended to have this conversation with sonny p - privately . sonny : whate -- whatever you have to say to me , you can say to carly . ava : oh , i see . carly : [ sighs ] ava : no secrets between the two of you . is that it ? [ scene_break ] valentin : so agent devane has been talking to you about me ? nina : uh , more like an interrogation . not that i could tell her anything . valentin : and she 's told you to stay away from me ? nina : more or less . valentin : and are you taking her advice ? [ scene_break ] lulu : nina knows that valentin went after spencer . she 's the one that busted him . why would she think it was okay to hook up with him again ? dante : 'cause he 's playing her , obviously , okay ? it 's that simple . and if she ca n't see that after all the damage he 's done , then she 's got to deal with the fallout . valentin will make a mistake , and when he does , we 'll get him . but right now , let 's go get rocco . let 's go have a good day with him , make some good memories that outlast and outnumber the bad ones , all right ? come on . [ scene_break ] valentin : i 'm sorry you had to put up with agent devane 's questioning . i was hoping she 'd back off once charlotte 's custody was decided , but she seems determined to get me . nina : um , i 'm gon na go out on a limb and suggest it might have something to do with the violent misunderstandings that happened in greece . valentin : do you want to hear my version of events ? nina : not particularly . they say one thing . you say another . i have to just choose who i believe . i choose you . valentin : that 's a refreshing attitude . nina : not that i think you 're innocent . you 're far from innocent . you made that clear to me when i went to visit you at the pcpd when you were being extradited . but you 're a good father . you love charlotte . you 're very good with her , and that carries a lot of weight with me . valentin : is there anything else ? nina : did i leave anything out ? valentin : i was hoping you 'd say you like the way i kiss you . [ scene_break ] anna : there . thank you . i feel as if i owe you , though , alexis . i really do . alexis : you want to pay me back ? nail valentin to the wall , because my nephew is gone because of him , and i want him to pay . anna : i 'll see what i can do . alexis : thank you . anna : hi . robert ? hi , it 's me . so i - i have some more information on valentin . well , no , it 's not that damning , but , listen , i - i 've got the name of the school that he attended as a child . it 's a starting point , okay ? it 's bedlington academy . alexis : hmm . sam : hey . alexis : hey ! sam : hi . jason : hey . sam : whipped cream crusader in the flesh . alexis : i 'm sorry , i really am , about running out at thanksgiving and leaving you with everyone . i - i explained to molly that i was -- sam : no , no , i - i know . she told me , but i - i wish i knew . if you had a problem , i would have done something about it . alexis : well , i did n't know it was gon na be a problem . it just kind of happened sudden -- [ cell phone chimes ] alexis : [ gets a text from julian saying that he 's waiting for her , and she knows he hates to wait . ] jason : everything okay ? alexis : uh , yeah . i have to go . sam : wait , b - before you take off , h - have you heard about julian ? alexis : why ? sam : um , mom , he was -- he was hit by a car . alexis : oh , yeah . jordan told me . any suspects ? sam : no , i mean , not as -- not as far as we know . um , guessing the police are just gon na be looking at sonny . jason : but we know sonny did n't have anything to do with it , so ... [ tires screech ] alexis : no , i do n't imagine that he did . [ scene_break ] julian : the hit - and - run is under investigation , so it 's very possible that it was n't an attempt on my life , merely an accident . curtis : can you tell me what you remember about the ... accident ? julian : yeah , okay . uh ... i remember i terminated your services . curtis : look . someone put a bomb in your car . days later , sonny was arrested and than made bail . somebody tried to mow you down . now , you 're a smart man , julian . you need me back on this . i feel real strongly about the oscar jessup lead . julian : all right , there 's no case . there 's nothing , all right ? i 'm not giving you one more cent . do i make myself clear ? now , look . listen to me . you choose to ignore my orders and keep investigating , you 're gon na regret it . [ scene_break ] michael : sorry about that . work never stops . nelle : hmm . i have to say i am very impressed . are you aware that your voice changes when you 're conducting business ? michael : really ? nelle : mm - hmm . yeah , it becomes , uh , like , cool and icy . it 's nothing like the warmth i hear when you talk about your family . michael : yeah , well , it 's because of my family that i 'm here . look , you 've -- you 've been so good to us . i - i - i 'd really like to treat you to something fun . nelle : you know , you really do n't have to . michael : it 's gon na be f -- there 's gon na be dancing . there 's gon na be a band . it 's gon na be a good night . it 's for a good cause . come on . what do you say ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm sorry , i 'm just so fascinated by this . so , how does it work exactly ? you do the procedure , and then what ? andré : mm - hmm . well , ideally , the drew memories and personality will be stripped away , allowing the franco personality to resurface . maxie : because it 's always been there ? andré : that 's the theory . like when you paint over something . the original artwork is still underneath , right ? right . but art restoration can be tricky . in the process of trying to get to the bottom layer , there 's also the possibility that what you could accidentally do is affix the top layer even more firmly . maxie : so , the drew part of franco could become even more drew ? andré : it is possible that franco could emerge with even more sharply tuned memories of drew 's life . maxie : whoa . can you believe this ? andré : no . no , i ca n't . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : from the minute he woke up , i have been focused on getting franco back . and trust me , i 100 % believe he has the right to be here . but in the process , i completely ignored who that man is . the integrity he has . i mean , he 's literally about to give up his life so that franco can get back his life . how do i -- h - how do i pay back a debt like that ? i mean , saying `` thank you `` just seems inadequate . epiphany : that 's what sacrifice means . you do n't give up something that does n't matter . it 's -- it 's giving up something important so that you can gain something hopefully more important . your family is more important , elizabeth . and you 're right . the only thing you can say is `` thank you . `` but is n't today the day for it ? be thankful . elizabeth : i am . you have no idea .

[ scene_break ] sonny : why do n't i just record this so i do n't have to repeat myself every three minutes ? i got nothing to say to you unless my attorney 's present . scott : well , let 's see . you shot alcazar in the chest four times in front of witnesses ; that 's attempted murder . you refused to give yourself up to the police ; that 's unlawful flight . you grabbed sam mccall at gunpoint and forced her to drive you away from the scene of the crime ; that 's carjacking ; that 's kidnapping . i would say that you 're finished in this town . you are going to go to prison . sonny : you think so ? scott : yep , i do . sonny : pcpd has a long - documented history of harassing me . you take me to trial and i will plead entrapment and i will walk . you know why ? because you would n't know subtle if it bit you where the sun does n't shine . it 's pretty obvious you and alcazar worked together to set me up so my advice to you is , if you want to avoid another public humiliation , drop the charges .

[ scene_break ] courtney : they said that i had 24 hours to post bail . ok , i came as soon as i found out jason was released . i would never leave him to rot in some holding cell . brian : why not ? you moved out , ok ? you do n't have to live jason 's life anymore . cut your ties and be grateful . courtney : ok , brian , i want you to listen to me and really hear me this time . i love jason . i always will . do not put yourself in the middle of my marriage . you do n't belong there . [ scene_break ] sam : being with sonny , hearing what he 's been through -- it made me take a good , long look at myself -- how far i pushed you , how much my betrayal must 've hurt you and sonny 's the reason i was finally able to come straight with you . i kind of owe him . jax : sam , you do n't owe him anything . you 're being manipulated . ca n't you see that ? ric : well , i 'm here . hope you 're happy . you realize what you pulled me away from ? scott : hey , crime does n't stop in port charles because you go to the mountains to get a little action , you know ? ric : what 's this all about ? scott : we arrested sonny . he 's at the hospital . ric : was he hurt ? scott : no , he 's ok . he 's a little too confident . i want you to get over there , rattle his cage a little bit , get him to incriminate himself . ric : what makes you think that i 'm going to be able to do that ? we 're not exactly confidants , scott . scott : you 're his brother . you know how to push his buttons so get over there and push them ! [ scene_break ] sonny : hope you 're paying attention , because everything that just happened is a lesson in what not to do . do n't lose your temper . do n't pick up a gun when you 're hurting . do n't act in the moment and most important , think with your head , not with your heart . you warned me , but i did n't listen because all i could hear was carly does n't love me . so i took action -- the wrong action -- and here we are . jason : i should 've tried harder to stop you . sonny : hey , you know what ? you treated me like , you know , a man has a right to make his own decisions . i ca n't -- i ca n't ask for more than that . anyway , listen . as far as the charges go , i believe that scott and alcazar set me up . now , any good lawyer can prove entrapment . as long as that girl , sam mccall , does n't file for kidnapping , we 'll get off . jason : well , you know , right now scott baldwin is up to no good . he 's holding sam for aiding and abetting you . [ sonny laughs ] jason : i offered bail -- sonny : mm - hmm . jason : and i offered the best lawyer available -- sonny : right . jason : and then jax showed up . sonny : if the cops are threatening sam , why does n't she give me up ? she owes me no loyalty . jason : i do n't -- i do n't know , but it 's working to your advantage right now . sonny : so you 're telling me baldwin is charging an innocent woman , forcing her to testify against me ? i ca n't let that happen . jason : sonny , you ca n't do anything right now . now , i 'm asking you this -- just let me do my job . i know it 's hard for you just to sit back and not do anything , but you got to let other people fix this .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i knew eventually you 'd have to show up . baldwin 's probably hoping that , what , i lose it , blurt something out ? is that how this is going to work out ? ric : if i was around when you were arrested , it might 've worked . understand you were volatile . you know , you might 've cracked if i had been there because , as we both know , when you 're emotionally engaged , you 're usually your own worst enemy . i can see you 're back in control now -- ice - cold mobster working all the angles . so , what 's going to happen now ? a high - priced mouthpiece comes in , makes it all go away , right ? sonny : not long ago , that was you . you know the rest . i will not answer any more questions without my attorney present . ric : you know , the irony never ceases to amaze me . i mean , here we have you , a known criminal , armed and dangerous , who just added carjacking to a long and distinguished list of offenses and you 're probably going to walk . but on the other hand , we have sam mccall , whose only crime was really driving past the wrong street at the wrong time and she 's going to be prosecuted , probably convicted , because she just wo n't press charges against you . sonny : ok , you know what , ric ? you leave sam alone . you said yourself she did nothing wrong . ric : the only way you 're going to prove that is if you admit to kidnapping . [ scene_break ] jax : listen , i 've seen sonny destroy too many strong and rational women . he plays the wounded martyr . ok , he plays the misunderstood mobster with a heart of gold and they will sacrifice everything for him -- their sanity , their careers , their reputation , and their lives , all to protect sonny . i do n't want you to fall into that trap , sam . [ door opens ] scott : sorry to break this up , but the wheels of justice have got to turn . i guess you realize that you 're in a lot of trouble unless you admit that corinthos forced you to help him get away . so , are you ready to file kidnapping charges so we can all go home ? sam : you can forget it . you 'll have to prosecute sonny without me . [ scene_break ] ric : sam mccall has a long history of petty crime -- you know , nonpayment of debts , petty theft , that sort of thing . sonny : what am i supposed to do here ? am i supposed to tell you how great her criminal mind is ? ric : it 's going to go against her at the trial , sonny . sonny : ok . ric : the more i think about it , the more convinced i am that prosecuting sam is the way to go . i mean , she is the easy win . come on , sonny , what 's the real story ? huh ? why is this woman protecting you ? were you supposed to meet there all along ? you know , i do n't think that the setup was coming from the d.a .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : okay . thanks . lisa : i need to get these to dr. o'donnell . do i , uh -- do i need a hall pass or ... nikolas : [ chuckles ] cute . cute . listen , uh , i know it 's a tough situation for you , but ... so far i think you 've handled it gracefully . lisa : i appreciate that . yeah , it 's the least i can do since i 'm the one who started this whole mess . i had a weak moment with someone that i used to love and that i still loved and it turns out i just ... wanted him . nikolas : yeah , it happens . lisa : it still was incredibly stupid of me to go blabbing my sorry tale all over cyberspace . nikolas : just , you know , call it a mistake and put it behind you . be smarter next time . make your actions count . lisa : you 're preaching to the choir . that 's exactly what i intend to do . lisa : oh , i 'm sorry , would you hand this to dr. o'donnell ? i 've , uh , i 've had a lot of time to think since this whole thing blew up in my face , and i 'm always alone , and since everybody loves robin and i 'm the town pariah , and , uh , when i look back at that time after i slept with patrick , i do n't even recognize myself . and i 'm not that grasping , needy woman that i was for a while . so , the good news is that i 'm moving on and i 'm putting patrick and his wife behind me . nikolas : that sounds like an excellent idea . i like your attitude . lisa : i like your attitude , too . ethan : hello , love . sorry i 'm late . for our date . oh , come on , do n't tell me you forgot . it 's too late to change plans now . i 'd never hear the end of it after all the trouble johnny went through to set up this nice evening for us . i mean , the stage is set , so ... nikolas : i 'm sorry . i realize that this is probably none of my business , but i was under the impression that you were recently married to maya ward . no ? or ... ethan : oh , yeah , no , i am . it was a lovely ceremony . but maya and i have a very progressive marriage . nikolas : ah . i see . ethan : so , let 's go . lisa : ah ... p.a . : x - ray tech , seventh floor . x - ray tech , seventh floor . maya : hi . nikolas : hey . [ scene_break ] mac : before you say anything , no , you 've pretty much maxed out my tolerance for dead bodies with the last 4 you and lucky left on the bluffs . so think real hard before pulling the balkan card here . any i.d . ? dante : no . mac : any idea who killed him ? dante : negative . i do have it on good authority that the shot came from somewhere up there . mac : well , do you have anything useful ? dante : yeah . the guy works for jerry jacks . his assignment was to grab sam mccall and -- mac : jerry jacks ? dante : hey , look , mac , you told me not to talk about the balkan . mac : there 's a connection ? dante : there could be . mac : you listen to me . jerry jacks may be the worst psycho in a long line to ever come through this town . if he has the gall to show his face here , i do n't want him walking away . do you understand ? if he 's connected to this , involved in this , i want you to find him by any means necessary and stop him before someone we know and love ends up dead . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , i 'm thinking of going up to vista point because i know how much you love it , right ? brenda : that 's nice . what about jason ? sonny : jason ? brenda : yeah . sonny : he 's not invited . brenda : yes , i realize that . i just mean , you know , maybe you could talk to him , i mean , so he does n't get mad at the boys for letting me out of their sight . sonny : max and milo work for me . the last time i checked , jason worked for me , too . brenda : i know . that 's why i 'm asking . maybe you could , you know , i do n't want him to get mad at spinelli , either . sonny : can we not bring up spinelli , because my head is like -- brenda : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . it is sweet , though , you know . he 's just trying to be protective of me . sonny : i like that he 's protective of you , but i do n't like that he calls me faithless and he brings up all the women that i 've been out with -- brenda : no , i know , he 's wrong about that . wait , could you just like -- i do n't know -- why do n't you not bring up the women that you 've been with either in front of me , please . sonny : okay , listen it me . in a way , he 's -- he 's not wrong , 'cause i have , you know , i 've made mistakes in my life , and -- i 'm not gon na make them with you , though . brenda : i know . let 's go . sonny : all right . brenda : here 's your jacket . sonny : thank you . brenda : you 're welcome .

[ scene_break ] jax : if my mother knows more about jerry 's whereabouts , obviously she 's decided not to tell us . carly : i do n't think that 's true . i think if your mom hears from jerry , you 're gon na know about it . jax : well , you sound pretty sure about that . carly : your mom trusts that you 're going to make sure jerry does n't get hurt . jax : how can i assure that ? i mean , how can i protect jerry again ? i do n't even know how he 's involved in this whole mess , if he 's working for the man who 's after brenda or ... if jerry is the balkan . it 's amazing , is n't it ? as time goes on , i know less and less about what what my brother 's capable of . carly : i 'm gon na help you find him . jax : no . carly : no ? just like that , no ? jax : i got ta do this on my own . carly : why ? 'cause it 's about jerry or brenda ? [ scene_break ] robin : could you please stop looking at me like i 'm emma refusing to eat my peas ? i am not going to therapy for very good reasons . patrick : i get it , but if we went to couples therapy , it would n't look like weakness in front of the board . we would be there together . robin : yes , but couples therapy would be putting energy towards our marriage , and ... i 'm just not sure we have one anymore . nikolas : so , i think i have good news for you . patrick : well , that 'd be great . we could use some right now . nikolas : i do n't think that you 're going to have to worry about lisa anymore . it seems her attention has been diverted . she 's dating ethan lovett . maya : excuse me ? my husband 's dating who ? [ scene_break ] ethan : i explained as much as i could on the way over , which did n't amount to much , about why you 're bleeding like a stuck pig and why you chose dr. niles over our regular physician . johnny : i 'm sorry about our date . obviously there 's been a change in plans . lisa : ah , i see . so , uh , this is your idea of another good time ? ethan : hold up . what 'd i miss ? johnny : just -- sorry -- try to keep up . ethan : you two are -- what about olivia ? johnny : what olivia does n't know wo n't hurt her . ethan : okay , let me just pick my jaw up off the ground here . i thought you had it bad for her . no offense . johnny : come on . lisa : none taken . johnny : guy , you know how things just happen , all right , and i 'd appreciate your discretion . ethan : yeah . no , that goes without saying . lisa : you know , i need supplies . ethan : right . i 'll go get them . lisa : nice cover . johnny : yeah . it worked . lisa : so does my being here entitle me to know what happened ? how it happened ? johnny : how it happened , what happened -- knowledge is power , dr. niles . and given what i know about you , i 'm not sure sharing 's such a good idea . [ scene_break ] jason : anything we can use ? sam : well , there 's a few names and numbers . this phone service has n't been in operation long . all calls are received , not made . all local numbers . jason : that 's pretty crazy if jerry 's in town and nobody 's seen him . sam : yeah , but it might not be crazy if jerry does n't look like jerry anymore . has n't he changed his face before ? jason : that could be a complication , yeah . dante : hey . jason : what 's up ? dante : mac almost had me busted down to clerical until i mentioned jerry jacks ' name . he turned on a dime . he said the guy needs to be stopped by any means necessary . this guy , he has no friends anywhere . jason : jerry is , uh , is pretty ruthless , and i think if sam 's gon na be involved , she should ... probably know everything . dante : all right , well , look , we think -- we think the balkan is after brenda because he knows that she killed his son . if jerry jacks is the balkan , that means this is personal , it 's about family , and this whole thing just got a lot more unpredictable . [ scene_break ] jax : yeah , i have reason to believe that jerry might be involved . bulgaria -- that 's not too far from you , and , uh , there are n't too many bridges that my brother has n't burnt , so i thought maybe you 've heard from him . yeah , i know it was because of all that money that we made together . on the off chance that my brother does call or , uh , shows up , please let me know . thanks . mac : if that was a call to warn your brother that we 're onto him , i 'll have you charged as an accessory . jax : accessory to what ? mac : some poor slob who used to work for jerry just got snipered in an alley downtown . now , that 's your brother 's style , is n't it , jax ? kick off a good crisis , or conversation , for that matter , by pulling a trigger . robin knows something about that . i 'm warning you , jax , if that rabid animal you call a brother crawls out from underneath something and i see him , i 'm going to put him out of his misery . jax : okay . mac : but let 's start with what you know and why jerry would be crazy enough to come back to port charles . [ scene_break ] brenda : welcome to my horribly shabby chic room . you 're not -- you 're not getting any ideas , are you ? sonny : ouch . shot through the heart . brenda : i was just thinking , i do n't know , if i left you downstairs that maybe you would end up shooting spinelli ? sonny : do n't tempt me . come over here . no , 'cause the last time i was here , you know , this place , i did n't really see how pink it is . brenda : i know . i know . sonny : you know , it 's pretty in pink . you know what i mean ? and how jason has kept it this way -- brenda : jason -- spinelli told me that jason has n't painted this room in 8 years . can you believe that ? was that in my honor ? sonny : yeah , i do n't know ? brenda : for me ? because spinelli also told me that ... he lived here , and then he found out i was coming back , he moved all of my stuff back in here and put everything exactly back intact . it was interesting to come back here and see everything exactly the way it used to be , but ... i designed this place . sonny : you did a real good job . brenda : really ? you like this ? sonny : yeah . brenda : i ca n't believe i was into this 8 years ago . i wish i could go modern with it now , but ... you know , i 'm just ... i 'm passing through . story of my life . sonny : [ laughs ] what about -- what about , uh , rome ? do you consider that your home ? brenda : kind of , it was . sonny : yeah ? well , i 'm just saying that maybe it 's not the place . maybe it 's the person . maybe you 're -- maybe you 're a little closer to finding what you need . [ scene_break ] max : whoa ! spinelli : just as i feared . mr. sir has absconded with the divine one . max : hey , maybe they 're in the kitchen . spinelli : no , take note -- their coats and scarves are gone . he 's probably spirited her away via the service elevator . milo : jason will not like this . maybe we should have stayed here . max : this is your fault . spinelli : mine ? max : yeah , yeah . we had them locked in . we could have been serving them courses for hours , but you would n't stop . you had to snap mr. c 's last nerve . milo : should we call jason or no ? max : no . not yet . listen , we 'll take the service elevator down and see if we can pick up a trail . [ door opens ] carly : uh , we have to talk . ooh . wait . are we alone ? spinelli : yeah , unfortunately . mr. sir and the divine one were dining here , where they should have stayed , but mr. sir went into godfather mode , intimidated everyone out , and spirited the divine one to parts unknown . so the situation is most dire . so therefore i am sorry , but i can not help you in any secretive task . i must devote all spare time and momentum towards saving the divine one from the rapacious mr. sir . carly : hey ... i can help you with that . [ scene_break ] brenda : you think i can find my home here ? sonny : well , it makes sense to me . brenda : you know , i lost my place in rome . there was a fire . i lost everything . i did love that place . and this , uh , incredible art collection that i wish i could show you . and i used to come home and , um , and look at it , and i loved it . and , uh ... it 's still following me . every night . sonny : i wish i 'd known , you know ? i could have done something . brenda : you know ... i really do realize now that it was n't the lack of someone that made me feel so lonely . it was the absence of you . [ scene_break ] jax : i have n't spoken to jerry . i do n't know where he is . and i do n't know how to find him . mac : but you 're trying . i understand the urge to protect a brother , jax . but how many lives is jerry going to destroy before that bridge between you turns to ash , huh ? i mean , you could be the next victim . carly , one of your kids . is helping jerry evade the law worth risking all that ? jax : i 'm not going to let that happen . mac : i hope you can stick to that . i hope you mean it . i hope you can -- i hope you do n't look back one day , jax , and realize you lost everything that matters for someone who only wants to use you . [ scene_break ] dante : all right , let 's figure out a timeline , figure out what we know . the balkan 's son , aleksander janacek , dies in 2007 . jason : but the balkan does n't know for sure he 's dead because there 's no body . dante : the body 's shown up in a new jersey swamp 3 years later . jason : now the balkan knows that his son is dead and he wants to find out who killed him , which leads him to brenda . assuming that he knew aleksander went after brenda after brenda left him . dante : safe assumption . brenda is almost grabbed by the balkan in rome , but he fails . sam : and then jason brings brenda back to port charles . jason : then the balkan comes after her . dante : so far through intermediaries . jason : right , but they 're not getting the job done . which makes somebody like jerry jacks , whose brother has ties to brenda , a perfect fit for the next go- between . dante : unless jerry jacks is the balkan . jason : there 's no way for us to figure that out . we ca n't even figure out who i shot on the roof . dante : um , maybe we can . [ scene_break ] lisa : get injured around here often ? ethan : you look like crap , mate . johnny : oh , score a point for captain obvious . ethan : i guess now would not be a good time to ask for a little clarification . johnny : no , it would n't . in fact you can take off . i think dr. niles has it from here . ethan : all right . johnny : hey . hey . if you run into olivia , please just tell her i 'm out of town . i do n't want her knowing about any of this . ethan : yeah . no worries , mate . i got you . hit my cell if you need anything , all right ? johnny : yeah . lisa : none of this is going to work . you need to be at a hospital . johnny : that 's not an option . lisa : do you want to die on your couch ? johnny : all right , here 's the deal , florence . either you patch me up or i go to your chief of staff and let him know that i saw you running out of robin scorpio 's room with a syringe in your hand . johnny : i still have that needle and whatever was in it that you were going to inject into your lover 's wife . lisa : okay , first of all , he 's not my lover . it was just one lousy night and i 've been paying for it ever since . johnny : i lay corrected . lisa : and second , if you think i 'm such a threat that i 'd murder another doctor in the hospital in broad daylight , is blackmailing me in your condition really a good idea ? johnny : how bad is it ? lisa : it 's ripped all the way through . i 'm gon na do my best , but there are at least a dozen ways that this could go wrong , and if you die , ethan 's gon na say that i was here and i 'll lose my medical license . johnny : this is n't up for negotiation . be brilliant , like everybody says you are , including yourself . fix me up and i wo n't turn you in , and everybody wins . [ scene_break ] dante : i have aleksander janacek 's autopsy . we could announce the body 's gon na be released and see who comes to claim it . sam : i do n't know . the balkan 's gone through a lot of trouble to protect his identity . i do n't think he 's gon na be so stupid to walk into a police station and collect his son 's remains , especially if it 's jerry . he 's not gon na make a public appearance . dante : no , but he 's not gon na leave his son 's body there to rot . jason : yeah , if he does n't come himself , he 's gon na send somebody . dante : or break in and steal it , i do n't know , but either way , aleksander 's body could lead us straight to the balkan . [ scene_break ] jax : well , thanks for coming by . please , sit down . suzanne : you said you needed my help . that 's intriguing . what can i do for you , mr. jacks ? jax : i was wondering if you 've ever seen this man . suzanne : no , ca n't say that i have . who is he ? jax : well , he uses a number of aliases , james craig being one . speaks with different accents . speaks french , a little russian . he 's very charming and polished , but make no mistake , he 's lethal . and if you see him , you call me immediately . suzanne : is he an associate of the balkan 's ? jax : he might be . we 're not sure . and until we are , i think it might be best if you do n't set up any meetings with brenda with people that you do n't already know . suzanne : and , uh , why do i get the feeling that , uh , there 's more to this story than you 're telling me ? jax : the man in the photo is my brother . unfortunately , that wo n't stop him from going after brenda . [ scene_break ] spinelli : mr. sir could have the divine one in a compromising position as we speak , in his limo , in a cheesy , gaudy hotel room . once he has her in his deceitful web , she 'll be pinned there until her inevitable psychological doom . carly : you 're not giving your crush enough credit . spinelli : she may be strong , but her vulnerability to mr. sir is assured . she -- she wishes to be with him . she even feels safe with him . carly : okay , you know what ? then it stands to reason that brenda is n't the one we can influence . we 're gon na have to work on sonny . turn him off to brenda . and the best way to do that is to prove that dante and brenda were lovers . sonny could never be with a woman who slept with his son . spinelli : the jackal is reluctant . i cherish my friendship with the divine one , and i will surely incur her wrath if i unearth such deeply held secrets . carly : sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind . sometimes you ca n't have it both ways . maybe it has to be either / or . keep brenda 's high opinion of you or save her from sonny . i tell you what . brenda does n't have to know you were involved . i would be more than happy to take the responsibility , but i do need your cyber skills . come on . you 're nuts about brenda . here 's your chance to save her . how could you not take it ? spinelli : the jackal is convinced . only the ugly , unvarnished truth will set the divine one free . and time is most certainly of the essence . to work ! [ scene_break ] brenda : you know , when you left me on our wedding day ... sonny : oh , no , i ... brenda : i 'm not gon na say that . i 'm not gon na say that . sonny : all right . brenda : you sent jason and ... i told him that , uh , you were my home . and the reason why i said that is because i was sure i never ... i never felt at home ... anywhere , with anyone , except for you . sonny : i 'm not leaving , all right ? brenda : you promise ? sonny : yeah .

spinelli : well , i -- ellie and i are trying for a relationship founded in openness and honesty . maxie : are you trying to embarrass me ? i mean , 'cause you could have said , uh , nothing , and we could have all moved on our merry way . ellie : with the torrent of this underlying tension , unlikely . i 've found that airing my feelings is the surest way to exorcise them . maxie : that 's funny . it 's never really worked for me . ellie : well , when i realized that you engineered our living situation , i -- maxie : in all fairness , i tried to talk you out of it from the beginning . ellie : [ scoffs ] yes , without disclosing the true nature of your prior connection to damian . you then changed your strategy and agreed to let me move in so that you could pursue damian yourself . maxie : it 's possible that -- ellie : you deceived me , maxie , and not only has that created a rift between damian and myself ... spinelli : wait . there 's a rift between -- ellie : but another one also exists between you and me . and ... you are the only person with whom i have ever been able to successfully have girl talk . maxie : look , what i said before still stands . spinelli 's moved on -- with you . you do n't have anything to worry about . ellie : well , i was worried . i considered moving out . maxie : really ? ellie : but damian assured me that we could all coexist . maxie : because moving out would be unnecessary when we 're just getting to know each other . spinelli : i -- i assured her that you would ... you know , this would blow over , and you would move on . maxie : you 're right . i have . anna : what are you trying to tell me ? faison : well , you made it very clear to me that you need time to consider whether we should proceed . anna : well , that makes it sound like an ultimatum . faison : no , no , no , anna , i have been rushing you . i 'm very glad that you said something . anna : i was angry at robert . you know , he comes barging in , making all these judgment calls , and i came running to you , and i did n't really think about how you might interpret that . faison : you do n't think i 'd ever complain about you running to me , do you ? anna : i want to move forward . i do . but i do n't see what is wrong with us taking our time , getting to know each other again . faison : no , you 're right . i 've thought about everything that you 've said , and you 're absolutely right . i 've changed . i 'm not the man that you fell in love with 20 years ago . i could n't see that , but you could . anna : well , i 've changed , too , obviously . we 've both been through so much . faison : everything you 've been through , you 've changed . i accept that . but , anna , i 've been in prison for 20 years . anna : [ breathes deeply ] faison : i 've changed so much . i do n't laugh as easily . i do n't smile as much as i used to . i mean , i smoke cigarettes , yes , but i 'm trying to quit that as soon as possible . i hate it . anna : i hope you do . faison : but i 've also become very impatient , especially when you hold me at arm 's length . anna : that 's not my intention . faison : i realize that . i know you want time , but from where i am , after everything ... it just seems very unjust to me . anna : i 'm sorry you feel that way . faison : i 'm not blaming you . do n't misunderstand me . i blame all the circumstances that kept us apart for so long . anna : mm - hmm . faison : but , anna , the only thing i had to sustain me was thinking about you . the only thing that kept me going was dreaming about you , dreaming about being back with you . so you ca n't really blame me for wanting to be with you or wanting to have you back in my life and in my bed . anna : i guess it is unfair ... all of that ... but i really need you to respect my feelings . i do . faison : anna , i do respect your feelings . anna : are you sure ? because ... duke , if we do n't move slowly ... we 're not gon na be able to have the relationship that you want at all . helena : what delicious irony , having you here , on your knees , begging for help from the woman whose husband you murdered . robert : well , i 'd hardly call it begging . look , i 'd have been happy to put a bullet in mikkos ' head -- helena : you have my family 's blood on your hands , and soon i 'll have your blood on mine . robert : i know . i done you wrong . i mean , you hate my name to heaven and hell . you want to crush my -- my bones to dust . i got it . helena : that was rude . robert : you 're right . and i apologize . who am i to interrupt a good revenge rant ? but you want me dead . all right . why do n't we open negotiations ? would you like a seat ? todd : who are you , and what do you want ? king : i 'm looking for tea delgado . todd : okay , he 's not an ugly troll . this is not the guy we 're -- tea : i 'm tea delgado . what is this about ? king : ms. delgado , my name is king -- agent theodore king . i 'm with the cia . skye : cia ? blair : that 's what he said , skye . it stands for `` central intelligence agency . `` skye : keep it up and you 'll be bald by morning . tea : how can i help you , agent king ? king : i have some information about your brother . spinelli : so , you 're moving on . maxie : onward and upward . and ... outward , actually . spinelli : it seems a little sudden . maxie : oh , i 'm sorry . what was i supposed to do ? sit on the couch and inhale wine and ice cream just because you found someone new ? although if i want to do that , i should start soon , actually . spinelli : you should do whatever feels right . some people like to take time to reflect -- maxie : reflect ? i do n't have time to reflect . this amazing opportunity just kind of fell in my lap , and i need to seize the day , you know ? it 's kind of a no - brainer . ellie : now , is this an opportunity of the gentlemanly variety ? spinelli : yeah , does this gentlemanly opportunity have a name ? maxie : why do you care ? spinelli : i do n't care . i 'm just concerned . look , not long ago , you were planning to forge ahead with me , and now already you 've found a new suitor ? or perhaps it 's an old suitor . are you -- are you back with matt ? ellie : the wrench murderer ? maxie : the manslaughterer . sand i think we all know that matt is in prison . spinelli : did n't stop you before . maxie : i 'm not getting back together with matt . there 's only one man i 'm getting with , and that 's the guy whose baby i 'm having . lulu : have you changed your mind about maxie being our surrogate ? dante : no ! not at all . [ stammering ] i 'm on board . lulu : but ... dante : putting the fate of our child in maxie 's hands made me a little nervous at first . lulu : nervous ? i was completely opposed when she first suggest it . dante : but then we talked about , and you said she had a bunch of good qualities . lulu : wonderful qualities . dante : so she 's gon na be a great surrogate , if unconventional , but she loves us , she cares about us . what more can you ask for ? lulu : trust . dante : wait a second . you do n't trust maxie ? lulu : of course i trust maxie . i just get that , with all of those things on the positive side , there 's still some eccentricities that we need to watch out for . maxie does n't always take the best care of herself . dante : so you think she 's gon na do something to harm the baby ? lulu : there is no baby yet . and i do n't think that she would miss doctor 's appointments or not take vitamins or drink a bunch of alcohol on purpose . dante : not even by accident if we had someone keeping an eye on her . lulu : oh . 'cause we 're gon na have someone tail her ? dante : yes ! that 's the plan . you work at night , so during the day , you can hang out with maxie . i work during the day . when my shift is over , i hang out with maxie . one of us will be with her all the time . lulu : [ laughs ] there 's only one problem . dante : uh - huh . lulu : what about us ? blair : not only is it her brother . he is my -- skye : your fiancé . blair : that 's right he 's my fiancé , and we 're getting married tomorrow , okay ? ! and i just want to make sure that tomás gets back here safe and sound in time to say our vows . king : i 'm afraid i 'll have to disappoint you . there is n't going to be any wedding . helena : well , very well , if you want to dispense with the usual pleasantries . robert : [ chuckles ] you call naked threats pleasantries ? helena : you 're obviously pressed for time , so out with it -- what do you want ? robert : i need some information ... about a former associate of yours ... faison . faison : i 'm sorry , anna . if you think i 'm pressuring you , then i 've changed more than i realize . anna : god . now you 're doing everything you can not to pressure me . faison : good . you noticed that . anna : yeah , i appreciate it . faison : the more i think about it , and i 've thought about everything you 've said , and you 're right . we should take it slowly . we need to take some time . we need to relearn how to be together . anna : yeah . faison : i mean , we 've waited long enough . why ca n't we wait just a little bit longer ? i just do n't want to run the risk of losing you . anna : there 's no risk . dante : and i do n't want to sound pushy . anna : you ? pushy ? faison : [ laughs ] we belong together , you and i. i know that in my heart and in my soul . and if not today and if not tomorrow , then sometime soon . we 're gon na be together without end . anna : that 's very poetic . very scottish . faison : hmm . good . because i have a plan . anna : you have a plan ? faison : to win you back . anna : oh . there is n't any competition . faison : of course there is , anna . there 's competition . now i 'm competing with myself . i 'm competing with men you fell in love with 20 years ago . and if i remember correctly , he was a pretty crafty bastard . anna : yeah , he was . faison : he still is . i mean , i think i might have to have a word with him and appropriate some of the old me tactics . anna : such as ? faison : such as , let 's get out of here . let 's leave port charles . anna : oh , i ca n't leave . i 've got so much work . faison : i 'm only talking about a few days . anna : i know i bury myself in my job . faison : i would n't interfere with that , anna . but think about how much fun you had the last time you took a break on halloween . anna : oh , god . that 's the last time i took a break ? really ? faison : you need a holiday . come away with me , just you and i . let 's go somewhere isolated , away from ... everything ... and everyone . helena : why are you showing me this ? what could you possibly want to know about faison now ? he 's been dead for ages . robert : has he ? helena : he went up in flames when his boat exploded on the lake . robert : you know , funny thing -- i was involved in a similar situation . terrible explosion out in the open ocean . on board , i was with anna , faison , myself , all on the open deck . we should never have survived . but we did . helena : and you think that faison survived again . robert : with your help . helena : and if i were involved in this resurrection , why would i tell you ? what 's in this for me ? spinelli : [ stammering ] [ clears throat ] is this -- is this a joke ? maxie : this is n't a joke . i 'm having a baby . spinelli : you 're -- you 're pregnant ? maxie : what do you think happened ? i went out and got knocked up by the first guy who could match his shoes to his belt ? spinelli : okay . first you say you 're having a baby , and then you say you 're not pregnant , so , i mean , which is it ? i 'd kind of like an explanation is all . maxie : i 'm not pregnant at this exact moment , but i soon will be . spinelli : okay . uh ... whom have you chosen to ... sire this wee one ? maxie : actually , he chose me . and his name is dante falconeri . dante : this way , it will stop maxie from falling out of line . it 's a good plan . very good plan . lulu : yes , on paper . it would keep maxie in check , an we would know that she is well - fed and well - rested and carrying our child in the healthiest possible way . dante : i actually do n't think there is a down side . lulu : oh . okay . so , yeah , i supervise maxie all day before going to the haunted star at night . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : and then you work all day before spending your evenings with maxie . so when is there quality time for us ? dante : hmm . you and me , we see each other , then we go to bed , and then we have quiet time . lulu : i 'm serious , though . it 's gon na be hard enough when we have a kid that has n't been born yet and does n't exist . i just do n't want to squander the next nine or so months that we have left . dante : squander ? who -- who said anything about squandering ? lulu : [ giggles ] spinelli : you 're having detective falconeri 's baby ? maxie : technically , i just have to have it and carry it around for nine months , but how hard can that really be ? ellie : oh ! so you 'll be their surrogate . maxie : uh , yeah . dante and lulu really wanted to start a family , but they were having some problems , and i volunteered . it took some convincing on my part , but you are now looking at their new surrogate mother . talk about karma jackpot , right ? i would really like your blessing or at least your support . spinelli : i 'm sorry . forgive our stunned silence . it 's just -- it 's surprising news . maxie : but good news , right ? spinelli : well , i 'm not so sure about that . todd : there 's not gon na be a wedding ? what a shame . blair : what do you mean there 's not gon na be a wedding here ? you ca n't just barge in here and turn my life upside down . king : i 'm afraid the agency can do just that , as agent delgado is now out of the country . tea : `` agent `` delgado ? blair : he left the agency nine years ago . king : the agency has seen fit to recall him to active duty . tea : that 's impossible . blair : yeah , he just texted me , and he said he was five minutes away . king : that was me . blair : why would you text me and say you were picking up flowers that were as beautiful as me ? skye : blair , if you want flowers , i 'm sure agent king would be more than happy to stop at a gas station . blair : okay , listen -- he did n't want anything to do with that life . he said that nothing could drag him back . king : there 's been a development in an old case . agent delgado is uniquely familiar with the background and was chosen to join the investigation . i 'm not authorized to say anything else . skye : is that because this tomás is n't a delgado ? he 's really an alcazar ? carly : all right , agent , since you 're dispensing out information , why do n't you give us some information we can use ? what 's this man 's real name ? dante : mmm . that is how we squander our time together . lulu : works for me . dante : that 's good , because till this baby that does n't exist does exist , i plan on doing that a lot . what ? lulu : so ... i wake up , i get ready for my day , i go meet up with maxie , i hang out with her until your shift ends . dante : so far so good . lulu : and then you take over , and you listen to maxie talk nonstop about things that you could n't even possibly care about for days . dante : i will pretend to be undercover and that i 'm really , really interested in fashion . lulu : oh , yeah , that 's so good . so then we get together ... dante : yeah . lulu : ... and we come home , and we squander ? dante : well , if we squander away what we squandered , i do n't really see where the problem is . lulu : well , what happens when we 're at home squandering and sleeping ? what about maxie ? dante : maxie 's sleeping , too . lulu : i do n't know . have you met maxie ? she stays up all night painting her nails , doing online shopping , generally living as a college freshman . dante : weird . well , maybe she 'll change her behavior a little bit when she 's pregnant . lulu : do you want to take that chance ? dante : look , maxie is an adult . we ca n't exactly monitor her actions every day and all night . lulu : we can if she lives with us ! ellie : i think it 's wonderful , maxie . damian may have his reservations , but as far as i 'm concerned , you are to be commended . maxie : i am ? ellie : absolutely . every day at work , i see so many parents who are experiencing difficulty conceiving . the turmoil and anguish that they endure while undergoing countless procedures and therapies , it 's just -- it 's heart- rending . and what you 're doing is a mitzvah . maxie : you 're comparing me having a baby to a passover cracker ? ellie : well , a mitzvah is a blessing . and it 's completely the opposite of being selfish . maxie : it is . really ? ellie : you know , i 'm really glad i was wrong about you . well , not entirely wrong . you did try to steal my boyfriend from me , but look at you now ! stalwart in the face of damian 's rejection and prepared to make a great sacrifice for people that you clearly and truly love . how can that not be wonderful ? spinelli : wonderful , in theory . i mean , i do n't think it unwarranted to point out that this situation is fraught with emotional peril and unforeseen circumstances . maxie , i just do n't -- i do n't want you to get in over your head . maxie : i would n't worry about it if i were you . spinelli : how can i not -- maxie : because it 's none of your business . robert : let 's make a deal . what 's it gon na take for you to tell me what i need to know ? helena : a simple quid pro quo . if you want to know what i know about faison ... you 'll tell me why you need this information so badly . robert : okay . settle in . it 's a bumpy ride and a twisted tale . anna : i thought we just agreed to take things slow . how is going away on a vacation together slow ? faison : separate rooms ? that 's pretty slow . anna : yeah , i suppose . where ? faison : in the mountains . it 's very close by . little isolated cottage . bottom of the mountain . you and i , skiing together . do you remember ? anna : yeah . i do . i remember lounging in front of the fire with you . faison : it 's not so far away . the weather forecast says it 's gon na snow . you can have all the firewood that you want . and we can ski on sylvan mountain . anna : sylvan mountain ? we always used to go to hurley mountain . do n't you remember ? king : i do n't know what you two ladies are referring to . carly : really ? so you 're an agent with the cia , and you have never heard of lorenzo alcazar or his brother , luis , two of the biggest arms dealers in the world . king : i am not familiar with any alcazar , living or dead . as for your brother , the details of his dossier are classified . carly : really ? but you can show up here and tell us all that he 's going on some mysterious mission . blair : okay . do you have any idea who you 're pissing off here ? my aunt is senator dorian lord . king : not the wicked witch of the senate intelligence committee . blair : exactly . todd : dorian 's on an intelligence committee ? blair : and we both know the power she wields in d.c . right now , so i suggest you kind of tell us everything that 's going on . otherwise , you 're gon na be stationed in greenland quicker than you can pack your long johns , buddy . king : i have my orders . if your aunt has a problem with it , she can speak to my superior . i 've said all i can . good night . tea : [ sighs ] skye : amazing ! really , everything that i 've been through with lila rae ... tea : my brother is being deployed to some ... todd : well , this day just sucks , and , blair , i am so sorry . blair : no , you 're not . but after i 'm finished with you , you will be . i 'm done ! dante : no , maxie ca n't stay here . our apartment is n't big enough . this bed takes up half the place . lulu : we go and get an air mattress . dante : you ca n't have your surrogate sleeping on an air mattress . lulu : maxie can sleep in the bed . you and i would sleep on the air mattress . dante : no , absolutely not . this is a memory - foam bed . i live for this bed , to sleep on it every night beside you . lulu : you 'd still be beside me . dante : look , i want a baby just as badly as you do , but i still want a life . lulu : i think our child is worth a little inconvenience . dante : a little inconvenience ? look , if you do n't trust maxie for being on her own , then she 'll put some guidelines into the contract . lulu : a contract ? dante : yeah , we have to , you know , protect our rights . lulu : oh . i just -- i had n't even thought about that . i just do n't want to ... make it some big legal thing , 'cause she 's my friend . dante : look , it 's gon na protect her , too . lulu : well , what if it hurts her feelings ? dante : look , maxie is an adult , like i said before . okay ? i think she can handle this . lulu : yeah , i suppose you 're right . dante : wow . wow , there really is a first time for everything , huh ? lulu : i just want this to work . dante : so do i . but you and me and maxie in this tiny apartment will severely squander our chances at squandering . ellie : so , my mage makes the bugbear see an imaginary dragon , and my two fighters fend off the yowlers using bows and arrows . [ plays video game ] yes ! [ triumphant music plays ] ellie : damian . hey , are you all right ? spinelli : oh . i 'm sorry . now i 'm distracted by your roommate in thinking about this life change upon which she 's about to embark . ellie : look , it is a momentous decision , but should n't we trust that maxie knows what 's best for her ? she 's doing something utterly unselfish to help her friends in need ? how can that be wrong ? damian , can you answer the question ? spinelli : i 'm thinking . blair : you son of a bitch . what did you do to him ? what did you do to him , todd ? ! i do n't believe you ! tea : blair , relax . carly : i do . blair : well , believing in todd is a big mistake , carly . carly : i know that todd is not responsible for this , okay ? blair , you do n't want to believe that tomás is lorenzo . i get it . but the resemblance is too close to be a coincidence . and the lorenzo i knew , he was ruthless , and he would kill anyone without a second thought . tea : look , i do n't care about this lorenzo person . all i care about is my brother , and he 's missing . blair : well , you know what ? not for long . because i 'm going to go find him . todd : what 're you gon na do , blair ? you gon na traipse around the globe going to random trouble spots , knock on doors ? blair : i 'm gon na do whatever i have to do to bring him home , todd . tea : and i 'm coming with you . skye : well , hey , if you two are going , so am i . what ? my daughter needs her father . tea : i need my brother . blair : and i need the man that i love . robert : so , faison is back in port charles , passing himself off as lavery , and so far , it seems to be working . helena : now , let me see if i understand you correctly . somehow , faison cheated death , and then he spent the ensuing years altering his appearance so that he could assume the identity of anna devane 's ex - husband . robert : well , one of them . she 's had a few , myself included , there . helena : and you uncovered faison 's deception because a woman with lsd - induced psychic powers told you . robert : basically . helena : i have one question . where are the cameras ? robert : cameras ? helena : the hidden cameras . i assume that this is for some tacky reality show , `` the real cassadines of spoon island `` ? so weird . robert : hey , i realize this kind of strains credulity a little bit . helena : strains ? credulity was annihilated even before you got to the lsd , and that was my favorite part . robert : but this is -- helena : do you seriously expect me to believe this fiction ? robert : but this is real . helena : science fiction . robert : this from the woman who tried to freeze the world with a diamond- powered weather machine ? helena : not me . mikkos , may he rest in peace . no , that was the ' 80s , and this is 2012 . robert : i do n't care what year it is . lavery is faison , and i found one of his trademark cigarillos to prove it . helena : you did ? well , why did n't you tell me ? now i believe you . [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . i really thought i could get through that with a straight face . [ laughs ] robert : so ... i guess you 're not gon na tell me what i need to know . helena : what is there to tell ? quite clearly , your years as a spy have taken their toll . but , oh , mr. scorpio , you 're either declining into dementia or you 're delusional with jealousy over your ex - wife . anna : we always went skiing on hurley mountain because you thought sylvan had too many ski bunnies . they were your words . faison : of course . i remember now . how could i have made such a mistake ? anna : well , i guess the mountains are next to each other . faison : yeah . well , it 's all the more reason why i should refresh my memory , but ... i do n't want to go there alone . will you come with me ? robert : i 'm telling you , faison is back ! helena : no , he 's not ! he 's dead . robert : how can you be so certain ? helena : because if he were still alive , i would have found him a long time ago , and i would have killed him myself for failing me so thoroughly . no . no , you just want him back . robert : why would i want that ? helena : because it 's the only way you can win . when you 're standing next to a leftover from the cold war with a dutch - boy haircut , you do n't look so bad . robert : hey , flattery 's not gon na get you anywhere this time , all right ? helena : well , when you 're standing next to a handsome scotsman , will anna even see you ? no , you have to accept that you have lost this battle , because between you and duke [ scoffs ] there 's no contest . anna : i 'd like to get away , of course , but i 've just got so many open cases , and the mayor 's breathing down my neck . faison : [ chuckles ] lucky mayor . anna : yeah . so can i think about it ? faison : mountain is n't gon na go anywhere . anna : well , i must . i 've got a lot of work tomorrow . faison : i 'll see you soon . anna : yeah , count on it , yeah . maxie : do n't mind me . i 'm just getting some carbs . what happened ? did ellie win ? spinelli : one does n't really win at this game . maxie : oh . well , i thought whoever got the treasure won . spinelli : no , no , it 's not about the treasure . it 's an ever - escalating series of challenges , and it 's about contending with each challenge in the moment and then ... and then hoping ... that your choices do n't come back to haunt you . in fact , a well - designed campaign can often be a metaphor for life . maxie : meaning you think that i 'm making a huge mistake . spinelli : no , i did n't say that . maxie : you did n't have to . and you 're not exactly in the position to judge . spinelli : okay . what egregious error have i committed now ? maxie : is n't it obvious ? [ scoffs ] you chose ellie over me . carly : can you believe this ? the three of them teaming up to go find tomás ... lorenzo , whatever . todd : you 're not going with them ? carly : no . i do n't really care about him , and i have a daughter and a business to run . todd : did n't stop them . they all have kids . what do you think they 're doing up there ? carly : they 're going through tomás ' stuff , trying to find a clue to his whereabouts . but they 're not gon na find one , are they ? todd : how would i know ? carly : you would n't , right ? you had nothing to do with this . todd : i was just about to thank you for backing me up . [ chuckles ] oh . carly : it 's just the two of us . todd , you can be honest . did you ? todd : i had nothing to do with this . i do n't have tomás . i do n't know where he is . carly : i did n't think you did . todd : good . part of you did . carly : no , i can understand blair . i can see why she would be suspicious . she 's the mother of your children , the love of your life , and the night before she 's supposed to marry someone else , he shows up missing ? todd : tough break for blair . carly : it 's a good break for you , though , right ? means there 's still hope for you two . does n't it ? robert : already pressed it . anna : hi . you staying here ? robert : uh , well , yeah . luke said i could use his suite . his room , not yours . anna : yeah , i do n't care . it 's not my room anymore . feel free . [ elevator bell dings ] anna : after you . robert : ladies first . anna : well , you coming in ? robert : i 'll -- i 'll get the next one . anna ... anna : what is it ? what ? robert : uh ... does n't matter . helena : it 's me . i have a bit of news for you concerning a mutual acquaintance -- robert scorpio . i 'm afraid he 's onto you . faison : what do you mean ? helena : he suspects that duke lavery and faison are one and the same . faison : i see . helena : do n't say i never did anything for you .

[ helicopter blades whirring ] jerry : all right ! i 've done what you asked ! now hand over the cure ! sonny : he 's done too much damage as it is . shawn : yeah , we 're still working to make up for that shipment he sabotaged , not to mention the number he did on the warehouse . sonny : yeah , that counts for nothing compared to what he 's done to my son . you understand that , right ? i 've had enough . shawn : well , of course i 'm with you . you know that . all right , so what 's next ? we take over a few of jerome 's enterprises ? weaken his profits ? sonny : i had something more permanent in mind . julian : duke took a leave of absence before the art show ever happened . ava : i 'm sorry . i just find it odd . julian : that he took a vacation ? ava : that he has n't confronted either one of us . duke was rabid to confirm that i 'm part of the jerome crime family , and now that he knows we lied , nothing ? julian : maybe he 's still away and he has n't heard the news . ava : oh , please . he 'd have to be locked up underground not to know . and how likely is that ? duke : one minute , i 'm held captive in the catacombs , anticipating the very worst , and then , the next thing , you 're telling me that robin is alive . anna : can you believe it ? duke : no . i still ca n't believe it , and then , when i saw her , i ... what jerry jacks and obrecht and faison did to her is unacceptable . anna : she suffered unimaginably at their hands ... month after endless month . duke : and yet she persevered . anna : yeah . duke : that young woman deserves nothing but happiness from now on . anna : yeah . with her husband and child . duke : are you all right ? anna : i 've been where robin is now . you come home to reclaim your life and your loved ones only to find out that it 's not the same as when you left . you know . duke : i know that only too well . anna : i 'm sure she did what we did to survive . she kept that image of patrick and emma alive in her head . duke : and then , what it 's actually like when you see them ... anna : it 's not gon na be this . by the time she gets to the chapel , her lifeline is gon na be gone . the disconnect between fantasy and reality -- oh , it 's gon na be heartbreaking . duke : well , that 's why it 's good she has us , anna . e has us . we 'll see her through it . i 'm a little surprised you did n't go to the church with her . did robert go ? anna : no . she went alone . duke : what stopped you ? it was faison , was n't it ? anna : robert and i stayed on spoon island ... to deal with ... him . duke : well , how did that go ? what happened to faison ? robin : patrick . patrick : what 's going on ? is this a dream ? is this real ? robin : i 'm real . patrick , i 'm alive . jerry : a deal 's a deal ! give me the vial ! luke : let 's see -- what is that word that i 'm searching for ? that 's it -- no . jerry : no ? luke : no . this is saved for a friend of mine . jerry : but without me , it would n't exist . luke : well , i 'll tell donely to send you a fruit basket . jerry : i wo n't let you do this to me . luke : really ? sorry , jer . you gambled with the house and you lost . jerry : the hell i did ! give it to me , you bastard ! bobbie : oh , no ! carly : luke ! jerry : give it to me ! carly : oh ! bobbie : aah ! sonny : julian is safe because of danny . if jason 's son needs another bone- marrow transplant , then jerome has got to be around for him . shawn : hiding behind a kid like that , man ... sonny : he 's got no honor . he should be taken down like a rabid dog . shawn : so when you say `` something more permanent `` ... sonny : we ca n't hit jerome . but we can hit him where he lives . we can send a message to somebody close to him . shawn : and who 's closer to jerome than his sister ava ? julian : if it 's true that , um ... duke still does n't know who i am , oh , how i wish i could see the look on his face when he finds out . ava : the man is your sworn enemy . why you found it so amusing to hire him is beyond me . julian : well , it was amusing . ava : for all we know , duke could be intentionally keeping a low profile while he makes his plans to take us down . julian : lavery ? [ laughs ] no way . ava : why not ? it 's not like he was n't in the business before . julian : well , listen , if you want to look over your shoulder , go ahead . but , uh , i think you should keep an eye out for the real adversary , not the upstanding boyfriend of the police commissioner . duke : did faison hurt you ? anna : no . duke : nikolas ? anna : nikolas is fine . so is luke . everyone 's fine . duke : and what about faison ? were you able to capture him ? anna : robert and i , we managed to apprehend him , yes . duke : so he 's downstairs with obrecht . anna : no . he 's not here . duke : where is he ? epiphany : am i seeing things ? elizabeth : if you are , then so am i . it 's robin . brad : i knew she was alive . felix : is that really robin ? lucy : i do n't know how , but , yes . yes , it is . this is the best possible news ever . patrick : i do n't understand . robin : i know , i know . i know it 's crazy . patrick : but the lab exploded . i was at the window , and i watched you die , robin . robin : i did n't die . it was n't me . patrick : but your body , they ... they ... but your ring was in my -- in my hand . robin : they took my rings and they put it on a jane doe , but nobody could tell because ... because it was burned beyond recognition , right ? it 's okay . patrick , patrick , i 'm standing here . i 'm right in front of you right now . someone took me out of that lab . it does n't matter right now . it 's a long story , and it was someone 's crazy master plan , but i have been locked up this entire time . but you have to know something -- i have been trying every single day to get back to you , i promise . patrick : i do n't understand what 's going on . robin : even when i thought it was hopeless , i tried . and i tried for so long , and i finally made it home to you . i 'm finally here , and you 're ... you 're getting married . duke : why did n't you bring faison in ? anna : i left him with robert . duke : ah . oh , so robert contacted the wsb and they 'll probably take him back to steinmauer . anna : i assume so . duke : are you all right ? anna : i just do n't want to talk about faison anymore . duke : okay . i understand . this man 's put you through hell , and i 'm asking you to relive it . i 'm sorry . anna : but you understand . good . duke : besides , robin 's home . that 's all that matters . anna : absolutely . duke : i ca n't wait to celebrate . you know , i may take a few more days off work . anna : what do you mean `` a few more `` ? duke : well , when i came looking for you , i had to take a couple of days off work , but derek wells is a -- seems to be a reasonable man . i 'm sure he 'll understand . anna : oh , god . duke : what ? i forgot to tell you . duke : tell me what ? anna : derek wells is not who he says he is . duke : that 's a very cryptic thing to say , anna . well , who is he ? anna : he 's julian jerome . ava : sonny is n't gon na kill you . he ca n't take the chance . your grandson 's life depends on it . julian : all true . ava : you lucked out , you know , that sonny is so close to danny and sam . julian : [ sighs ] and now sam wo n't return my phone calls ... wo n't let me see danny . ava : oh , boo - hoo . small price to pay for being untouchable , do n't you think ? as far as sonny is concerned , you are off limits . julian : well , too bad you do n't enjoy the same luxury . shawn : ava and julian are partners in their art gallery , and i bet he was behind that whole ava getting her claws into the elq thing . sonny : look , ava is in up to her neck with her brother . that 's obvious . and it does make sense to take ava out . shawn : so when do you want me to do it ? ava : do you really think sonny would take me out ? julian : well , he is mad as hell . ava : at you . julian : but as you just pointed out , his hands are tied when it comes to me . now , you , on the other hand ... not only are you my partner but you 're also my sister . plus , you 've been sleeping with sonny 's son , which , if you had n't realized , does n't make you his favorite person , either . ava : but still ... i 'm not the one who hit his shipment , his warehouse . julian : close enough . so , you see , when morgan is safe at home , with his babysitter , and you 're out with a grown - up enjoying , let 's say , a martini , i mean , it could happen . out of nowhere . [ raps table ] [ crashing ] ava : oh ! damn it . bobbie : oh , my god ! oh , my god , luke ! he 's gone ! carly : wait , wait ! bobbie : oh , god , no ! carly : no , he 's not , mom . whether that 's a good thing or not , i do n't know . luke : oh , do n't get cute , caroline . give me a hand ! felicia : i know how badly you want to go to her . i do , too . but she and patrick have some things to figure out . mac : she 's back , felicia . felicia : she 's really back . sabrina : this is actually happening , is n't it ? i 'm standing here , in my wedding dress , while my almost - husband is reuniting with his not - dead wife . felix : i wish i could say that it was n't , but , yes . it 's happening . robin : i tried to get through to you before today . i think a couple of times , i actually did . patrick : when ? robin : last year , on emma 's birthday . emma : i told you that mommy called us . patrick : yes , you did . i -- just , i did n't believe that i -- robin : no , she was telling the truth . patrick : i thought she was making it up . robin : no . emma : you told me to run , like it was a race , straight to daddy . robin : yeah , i did . patrick : i 'm so sorry . robin : do n't be . it 's okay . patrick : did you call my cell phone a couple of weeks ago ? robin : i did . that was me . i did n't think that you could hear me . patrick : no , i heard you . i just -- i did n't -- i thought it was ... somebody told me today that you were in the lab . they saw you in the lab . robin : i was in the lab . and i came to the halloween party at g.h . , too . patrick : i do n't understand . how long have you -- how long have you been in port charles for ? robin : a while , but i could n't tell you because ... well , lives were at stake . but i could n't stand it a second longer , and that 's why i went to g.h . i was the lady that cleaned the punch off your costume . emma : the nice lady . you were so sad . robin : i was . i was so sad , baby , because all i wanted to do was just be with you and hug you . patrick : nikolas 's nanny ... robin : now you know why i was so quiet . i 'm just so sorry . i 'm so sorry that i could n't tell you until now . it was too dangerous . patrick : it 's not anymore ? robin : no . it 's not . it 's over . it 's finally over . patrick , i 'm home . it 's okay . sabrina : [ crying ] luke : give me a hand ! bobbie : oh !

! bobbie : i thought i was never gon na see you again . are you okay ? luke : yeah . amazingly , yeah . that polonium cure is pretty potent stuff . i mean , i had enough strength to hang on the ledge . jerry dangled there for a few seconds and then he just ... ah , the poor son of a sociopath . carly : okay . are you done congratulating yourself and patting yourself on the back ? i want to know how and why you can gamble with my mother 's life . luke : no , no , look , i did n't gamble -- bobbie : it 's okay , carly . i knew you were bluffing . carly : i hope you were bluffing . luke : of course i was bluffing ! i would never risk barbara jean 's life . bobbie : yeah , yeah , yeah , but i 'm just saying , you pushed the bluff a little too far . ava : sounded like a crash came from the -- julian , look . julian : what the hell ? ava : he must have fallen from the restaurant . julian : or he was pushed . well , well , well . look who dropped in to say hello . my former associate , jerry jacks . ava : is he dead ? sonny : i know where you 're going with this , but as much as i despise ava jerome , we can not eliminate her . shawn : why not ? sonny : 'cause i told her daughter that i would n't . shawn : and her daughter 's close to michael . sonny : and as much -- i caused them enough problems with michael , and if i do this , there 's no coming back . shawn : and morgan would n't take too kindly to it , either , considering he and ava are living together , so ... sonny : well , you know what ? in my book , i 'd be doing him a favor . but i am not going to risk alienating my two sons any more than i already have . shawn : ava 's off the table . sonny : you got any suggestions of people in the jerome circle ? shawn : there 's always duke lavery . anna : say something . duke : i do n't know where to begin . derek wells is julian jerome . he 's alive . anna : unrecognizable because of plastic surgery . duke : how did you find out about this ? anna : when we were imprisoned on cassadine island , robert told me this whole story . duke : what does robert have to do with it ? anna : he was police commissioner when julian supposedly died . but the wsb were behind it , and they strong - armed robert into handing over julian , and he had to go along with it . he had to . duke : so , julian jerome went into the witness protection program . anna : yeah . and robert was sworn to secrecy . duke : god , my suspicions have been correct all along . that rat is alive . my god , i 've been working for him . anna : well , it 's part of a plan . duke : of course it 's part of a plan ! he turned me into a joke ! that 's why he hired me on the spot ! he 's been laughing behind my back all these days ! but we 'll see who 's laughing by the time i 'm done with him ! anna : wait ! what are you doing ? ! duke : i 'm gon na kill him . julian : well , i 've got a pulse . ava : is that a good thing ? julian : jacks , you awake ? jerry : aah ! oh , j - julian jerome . fancy meeting -- aah ! julian : you are one hard man to kill , buddy . jerry : i could say the same thing about you . julian : well , that awning must have broken your fall . otherwise , you 'd be a goner right now . jerry : julian , help me ! help me . ava : i guess we should call an ambulance . jerry : no , no , no , no . no ambulance . no , get me out of here , please ! please . robin : better . patrick : what ? robin : oh . all the nights that i -- i dreamed of seeing you again and ... kissing you ... this is so much better . you kept me alive . you know that ? you and emma . patrick : i dreamt about it , too , but ... i thought that 's all it was ever gon na be . i just ca n't believe that you 're here right now . robin : you can believe it . sabrina : [ crying ] emma : daddy . patrick : yes , baby . emma : sabrina 's crying . robin : [ breathes deeply ] go . patrick , you need to talk to her . luke : you 're not hurt , barbara ?

why did n't you just give jerry the medicine ? luke : because this is for sean donely . carly : who the hell is sean donely ? luke : he 's a loyal friend of ours , and he needs this to survive . jerry : no ambulance . that would kill me . julian : well , it looks like you 're about done in already . julian : i 'll give you anything . anything is yours -- money , weapons , anything ! what the hell happened ? oh , my god . bobbie : there 's no way he could have survived that fall . carly : that guy 's dead , luke . luke : you guys , we 're talking about jerry jacks here . i mean , that guy should already be fish chum at the bottom of the harbor . carly : he 's got to be dead . luke : i wo n't believe that until i see a corpse . julian : why do n't you get some towels to staunch the bleeding , okay ? and ice -- lots and lots of ice . man : okay . julian : all right , hurry up ! ava : what are you doing ? julian : helping an injured man . ava : do you really think this is a good idea , getting involved with jerry again ? shawn : duke lavery is julian 's chief of staff . sonny : we questioned him up and down . there 's a river of bad blood between duke and that bastard . shawn : then why would jerome hire him ? sonny : strategy . like pulling my kid to the side . shawn : yeah , well , i bet duke lavery is pretty pissed now that he knows . sonny : my guess is that duke wants this bastard taken down as much as i do . anna : no , no , you ca n't go after julian . you sure as hell ca n't kill him . duke : why not , after all the pain that he 's caused us ? anna : well , i remember it , too . duke : if it was n't for julian jerome and his family , you and i would have had a child of our own . we would have had a smart , beautiful , feisty child ! julian jerome changed everything for us . anna : i know . i want him to pay for it , but you ca n't go out there and confront him like this . duke : why not ? anna : because i just got you back . okay ? i ca n't lose you again . have n't we lost enough ? ! duke : yes . anna : i ca n't bear the thought of another person i love being in danger . you 've got to let the police handle this . duke : and when will the police handle this , anna ? anna : when the time is right ! ca n't we just be happy ? robin 's back . please . then we 're all together . duke : yes . anna : you have to promise me you wo n't get in julian 's way . duke : i promise you . anna : thank you . thank you . oh , god . i have n't heard from robin . she did n't call . i need to ... duke : go . go , go . anna : ... find out what 's going on . this is a happy day , duke . this is a happy day . duke : it 's the happiest of days . anna : i 'm not gon na let julian ruin this for me . and you should n't , either . i love you . duke : i love you , too . [ door closes ] robin : i 'm not angry with you ... or upset with you . i mean , i am upset , but ... for other reasons . patrick , i saw the whole thing . i did n't just come in at the end . patrick : why did n't you say something ? robin : because . is n't it obvious ? you truly ... love sabrina . sabrina : [ crying ] felix : sabrina ! honey , what can i do ? what we need is some of that communion wine . sabrina : [ crying continues ] felix : here . take a sip . come on , honey , take a breath . you can do this . sabrina , i 'm so sorry . sabrina : for what ? the happy news that patrick 's wife is alive ? felix : not so happy for you . sabrina : but for him , for emma , this is their dream come true . i should be ecstatic for them . felix : are you on drugs ? sabrina : emma has missed her mother so much . this is -- it 's -- it 's incredible . this is the happiest day of that girl 's life . felix : and the worst day of yours . you 're allowed to hurt . sabrina : no . felix : this is n't fair . you can say it -- `` this is n't fair . `` sabrina : [ crying continues ] i was one second away from becoming his wife . and then his other one comes in out of nowhere . i literally could n't believe my eyes . felix : neither could the rest of us . sabrina : after everything we had to overcome to get here ... and patrick still is n't mine . and he never will be !

dr. obrecht : benutzt deinen kopf , britta . es gibt noch eine -- ( use your head , britta . and one more thing -- ) nikolas : i did n't ask for your input in any language . spencer ran away . you were behind it , yes ? britt : we -- we decided to come up with a plan because he wanted us to get back together . so did i . alexis : you turned him in ? you had him arrested when you knew he did n't do it , when you knew he was innocent ? julian : my boss needed a fall guy to cover his identity , and ric fit the bill . alexis : he was killed in custody ! because he should n't have been there because you had him framed ! my daughter 's father is dead because of you ! alexis : [ sighs ] tracy : how long does it take to arrest julian jerome ? unless he managed to flee the country . you do n't think that alexis warned him that anna and dante were on their way ? luke : i believe that would fall under the heading of obstruction of justice . tracy : then why has n't dante called ? it 's so inconsiderate . you think he 'd think more of his wife . there is nothing more frustrating than worrying and waiting for a thoughtless spouse who takes off without so much as a `` see you later . `` luke : unless , of course , that thoughtless spouse was abducted by somebody and stuck in a cell while that somebody took his face and lived his life . tracy : i - i want that man to suffer the way he made you suffer . luke : well , hopefully , anna and dante are questioning julian now , and he 'll give them a lead to find the son of a bitch who stole my life . anna : [ inhales sharply ] oh , god . faison : what 's the matter with you , sweet anna ? expecting someone else ? alexis : hey . molly : oh , hi , mom . alexis : how was your thanksgiving , honey ? molly : uh , pretty much a nonevent . tj and i went to the movies . basically anything to keep his brain occupied until he could get back on campus . alexis : so , you did n't spend any time with shawn or his mom ? molly : no . alexis : do you want to talk about it ? molly : it 's not really my story to tell , you know ? alexis : i do know . molly : but anyway , tj went back to his dorm , and i came here so i could get some work done . alexis : you could n't study at sam 's ? molly : oh , danny always wants to play , and i can never resist him , so until he goes to bed , i 'd get more done if i work here . did you guys have a good thanksgiving ? alexis : actually , um , i had to cancel , uh , going to sam 's , so sam and danny spent the day with patrick and emma . molly : oh . well , if you were n't with sam , where were you ? alexis : i was with julian . dante : that sure as hell ai n't larry . anna : oh , god , i should have known . i should have known ! julian : i 'm sorry to interrupt , but who , exactly , is this guy ? faison : aw , come on , julian . i 'm offended . but then again , this is our first face - to - face meeting , is it not ? anna : this is cesar faison . he is a card - carrying psychopath , a terrorist -- faison : you do n't have the time and the words to -- anna : shut up ! dante : you know , i would n't be so glib if i were you . you stole luke spencer 's life . you made my wife crazy with worry , and now we find out you 're behind this whole thing ? hey , look at me . look at me . faison : what ? dante : i 'm gon na make it my personal mission to make sure you spend the rest of your life behind bars . faison : come on , falconeri . if anyone is to blame for this mess , it 's anna . tracy : when anna was fooled by some mask , i wo n't lie -- i judged her . i thought , `` you have to be a blind fool to be deceived like that , `` and look who 's the fool now . larry ashton or somebody else pulled the same stunt on me . luke : we 'll get through this , sweetheart . tracy : [ sighs ] lulu : look who 's awake . i guess he could n't wait to meet his grandpa . luke : well , hello , there , little guy . i 've heard a lot about you . hey . i 'm luke . none of that `` grandpa `` stuff . we 're gon na be on a first - name basis . now , the face may look a little familiar , but it was somebody else . but this is the real me . yeah , we 're gon na make up for lost time . we 're gon na be good friends , you and me . nina : what does my mom have to do with any of this ? franco : i 'm sure she remembers seeing me , nina . i mean , she was kind of out of it because a head injury will do that , but she was lucid enough to remember seeing me get there and then leave with you and this little bundle of joy . nina : yeah , well , you think that she 's gon na tell the cops about us ? franco : i do n't think you can rely on her being loyal to you after you conked her on the head with a hotel lamp two times . nina : [ chuckles ] she was being impossible . franco : i do n't think you can count on her protecting you anymore . nina : my mother has never once wanted to protect me . believe me , she would do anything . she would sell me out in any way to get in j 's good graces . madeline : i just want an update on nina and the baby . you seem to be the only one who might be able to tell me something . nathan : well , we do n't know much . you gave us our only lead -- that nina left with franco , assuming you told the truth . madeline : i swear to you on my life , james , i told you everything i knew . i 'm so sorry for my role in this , but it 's not like i 'm not paying for it , is it ? nathan : [ sighs ] look , i need to go check in with britt , so if there 's nothing else ... madeline : uh ... actually , there is . dr. obrecht : britta , stop this nonsense at once . nikolas : no , no , no . i want to hear what she has to say . britt ? britt : when you called off our engagement , you would barely look at me , let alone speak to me . i needed to find a way to convince you to let me in , and i thought if spencer ran away , i could -- i could help you find him , and you would see that we 're good together . nikolas : you were gon na win me back by endangering my son ? britt : no , spencer was never in any danger . i was in contact with him ... nikolas : so while i was losing my mind , afraid that he might be lost or hurt or that maybe someone picked him up and was holding him for ransom , you knew where he was ? britt : i did n't mean to let it go on for as long as it did . nikolas : how could you ? dr. obrecht : do not blame britta . i am the responsible party . madeline : i did n't take you away from your thanksgiving dinner just for an update on nina . there 's ... something else . [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] i need to say goodbye . anna : shut your mouth , faison ! anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . faison : oh , how touching . concerned about my rights all of a sudden ? where the hell did that come from ? ! why do n't you tell your heroic young detective what you did to me last year ? why do n't you do that ? come on . all right , i 'll do the honors . where to begin ? maybe with the fact that i never escaped from steinmauer because you faked my transfer there in the first place , did n't you ? or how you tortured me in your private gitmo on spoon island ? what 's that for a résumé ? dante : is that true ? faison : do n't you lie to that boy . do n't you dare lie . after all that we 've been through , do n't you at least owe me that ? molly : [ sighs ] i thought you ended things with julian -- that you were dating ned . alexis : well , ned is n't very happy with me right now . molly : why ? because you spent the day with julian ? alexis : yes , although the point was n't to spend time with him . molly : okay . you 're being really vague and confusing . alexis : the bottom line , molly , is i did n't spend thanksgiving with anyone because julian and i were too busy rescuing luke spencer . luke : he 's still a little young for poker or craps , but he 's big enough to crawl around on a pool table . the sooner you learn that game , little guy , the sooner you can fleece the suckers . tracy : oh , charming . corrupting a child . and here i thought after spending almost -- after ... your time away , that maybe you would have mellowed in your attitude towards small children . luke : well , do n't get me wrong . i usually do n't care much for rug rats , but this guy 's different . he 's my flesh and blood . he 's gon na be a chip off the old chopping block . lulu : this is new and different . luke : yeah , but being locked up like that away from the people you love has a tendency to change your perspective . it 's not like hitting the open road . that 's freedom . this was a kind of death . lulu : i 'm so sorry for everything that happened to you . luke : thanks . well , do n't get me wrong , now -- i do n't intend to play building blocks with him or ... lulu : [ chuckles ] luke : ... read him bedtime stories , but it 's amazing to see him . i 'm gon na do what i can to make the three of you know how much you mean to me . lulu : we are just so glad that you 're home . luke : me , too , sweetheart . me , too . now , tell me how it is that i have a grandson who 's over a year old . when did you give birth to him ? lulu : i did n't . britt westbourne did . britt : mother , what are you doing ? dr. obrecht : since the prince is so fond of the truth , i thought he 'd better hear it . my daughter 's heart was broken . her happiness was at stake . she wanted you back , and this seemed reasonable . had it not been for extenuating circumstances , you would already have been married . nikolas : just get to the part where britt was co - opting spencer . dr. obrecht : i am the one who encouraged britta to fight for you by any means necessary . clearly , groveling at your feet for forgiveness was getting her nowhere . so i suggested a more calculated plan of attack . nikolas : `` calculated `` ? dr. obrecht : i advised britta to take advantage of your love for your son . the boy is devoted to her . i insisted that britta exploit it . when she and spencer conspired for him to run away so she could comfort you in his absence , britta was following my instructions . nathan : what are you talking about , `` goodbye `` ? you 're not going anywhere any time soon . madeline : afraid that 's not the case . the judge denied bail . i 'd already be at pentonville if they were n't shorthanded because of the holiday . nathan : oh , i 'm sorry . madeline : i 'm sorry to leave you , james . i know you have issues with me . nathan : that 's an understatement . madeline : but i love you . and i know , deep down , you love me . raising you was the best thing i 've ever done in my life , and i am so very proud of the man you 've turned out to be . i 'd like to think that i had something to do with that . [ sniffles ] you know , god knows you did n't inherit any noble qualities from your biological parents . nathan : that 's very true . liesl and victor are n't exactly bastions of decency and ethics . madeline : victor ? victor cassadine ? what does he have to do with anything ? nina : my mother really doted on j. oh , she loved him . i mean , i doted on him , too . he was so adorable and sweet . he was so sweet , and he had a baby nurse , and he had a nanny , but my mom -- she actually spent time with him , but she was n't warm . she would -- she would cuddle him ... kind of . she was n't really cuddly . [ chuckling ] but when she was n't -- that 's yours -- when she was n't at a social engagement , she would read books to him and -- and she would even go to mommy & me classes . franco : you 're kidding . your mother did that ? nina : i know . franco : that ice queen took the baby to mother & me classes ? nina : i know . she went to disney world , too . [ both chuckle ] nina : can you imagine my mom at disney world ? that 's crazy . she had him in so many programs and all these accelerated - learning programs , and he was the best - dressed kid on the upper east side -- j was . [ baby crying ] nina : you want this ? i guess that 's what you do . franco : nice try . you did n't get the same kind of affection . nina : no way . [ sighs ] j was special . i definitely did n't get that affection when i was a teenager . i think i just ... reminded her of my dad 's side of the family . and she hated them . i did n't -- i did n't know that j was n't my mom 's biological son . i did n't know . and it did n't matter to her . you know , she loved him the most . and i understand . i understand because even though i did n't give birth to this little girl , i love her . and i 'd do anything -- anything for this munchkin . franco : okay , you 've called this little girl everything from `` munchkin `` to `` sweet pea . `` i think it 's time we give her a name . nina : so , you want to name her ? franco : yeah . come on . that idea has n't crossed your mind ? nina : well , i thought it was gon na be something that , you know , silas and i would do together -- that we would name our daughter together , but he 's not gon na be a part of this . yeah . wow . i 'm gon na do this alone . franco : you 're not alone . i 'm here . and if you 'd like , we can name this child together . molly : so , julian knew luke was captive in miscavige and that he 'd been there since last january ? alexis : it 's complicated . molly : is luke all right ? alexis : as far as we know , but , obviously , he 's been through a lot . molly : well , who is this other man -- the imposter ? what ? alexis : [ sighs ] there is really no easy way to tell you this . the man pretending to be luke was julian 's boss . molly : but ... no . julian said ... alexis : you were right , molly . you were right all along . your father was innocent . ric was not julian 's boss . julian : my , my . it sounds like you 've been busy . faison : anna 's always up to something . dante : shut up ! both of you ! faison : always . anna : [ breathing heavily ] look , i 'm gon na explain all of this to you later , all right ? dante : no , you do n't have to . i would have done the same thing if i were you . but given the circumstances , i should probably be the one to take him in . anna : yeah , do it . dante : cesar faison , you are under arrest . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you free of charge . julian : well , looks like i owe you . you saved my life . anna : yeah , you 're welcome . you 're under arrest . luke : so , this love - sick doctor stole your embryo and implanted it in herself ? lulu : the plan was to make patrick think that she was pregnant with his child so that he would take her back . luke : but i thought she was with nikolas . tracy : that was after patrick kicked her to the curb . lulu : yeah . luke : so all this happened before nikolas ? lulu : yep . rocco was over 6 months old by the time dante and i figured it out . luke : well , how did she pull all this off by herself ? lulu : she had help , starting with her crazy mother . britt : mother , i appreciate what you 're trying to do . dr. obrecht : i am simply stating facts . you had no intention of resorting to subterfuge until i made you do so , and i stand by the results . you and nikolas were reunited . the boy embraced your maternal influence . everything was streusel and chocolate mit schlag , as it can be again if the prince will climb down off his high horse and admit that the end more than justifies my means . nikolas : leave my home immediately . dr. obrecht : of course . [ door opens , closes ] britt : it 's true , nikolas . she insisted that the only way that -- nikolas : your mother is despicable . that 's a given . my only concern is that you willingly and deliberately endangered my son . nathan : victor -- i guess i never really thought about it . liesl probably never told you who my father was . madeline : but she told you ? nathan : well , he told me . she confirmed it reluctantly . victor cassadine was an old friend of hers . not a good man -- i learned that the hard way . not afraid to hurt people to get what he wanted . madeline : liesl does have her type . nathan : yeah , well , not that it matters at this point , anyway . he 's not gon na be a part of my life . madeline : how do you know ? maybe he 'll reach out to you . nathan : [ scoffs ] it 's not gon na happen . the man 's dead . liesl shot him . madeline : really ? why would my sister do a thing like that ? nathan : well , she claims it was to protect me from him . madeline : maybe . or maybe she was afraid of what he might tell you . nathan : what do you mean ? you know something about my father ? lulu : i 'm just glad you 're safe , dante . i 'll see you at home . luke : faison ? he 's the one who locked me up ? lulu : dante watched anna pull the mask off of him herself . tracy : i should have known that ashton was too stupid to pull it off . what -- where are you going ? luke : do you still keep some firepower in this house ? tracy : do n't even think about it . unh - unh - unh . luke : it 's all i 've thought about since the day i laid eyes on that freak with my face . i 'm gon na kill him . tracy : no . and go to prison for murder ? i do n't think so . i just got you back . i intend to keep you . lulu : yeah , faison is gon na pay for what he did . dante has him in custody . he 's on his way to the station . luke : yeah , well , no offense to your husband , but the pcpd does n't exactly have a good track record when it comes to that psycho . lulu : no , there 's no wiggle room this time . anna and dante caught him in the act of trying to kill julian jerome . julian : i had no idea that that terrorist was the guy that was impersonating luke . anna : what , do you think that makes a difference ? you 've known this entire time that luke was being held against his will , and not only did you do nothing about it -- you prevented the rest of us from discovering the truth . julian : well , i had no choice . when i tried to leave the business , that monster had my son shot . he warned me that if i did n't keep up this ruse , he would go after lucas again and sam and danny and molly . anna : this absolves you from all responsibility ? julian : look , apparently , you and i both have a history with this guy . i do n't think i need to explain to you he does n't make empty threats . anna : no , he does n't , but you still have to answer for your role in all of this because luke is n't the only innocent man whose life you destroyed . molly : dad was innocent ? he did n't do any of those horrible things julian said ? alexis : he was framed , honey . you were right all along . molly : i knew it . i knew dad would n't get mixed up in the mob again , but no one would listen ! alexis : sorry . molly : what are you doing ? ! do n't touch me . franco : piper ? nina : no . franco : kruger ? nina : freddy krueger ? no . franco : no , no , kruger the artist . nina : mm , still no . franco : yoko ? nina : no . you are determined to name this baby after conceptual artists , are n't you ? franco : well , those women are my heroes . nina : that 's nice . i like that . but , um , i mean , the whole purpose of this makeshift -- pretend family is that we do n't want to call attention to ourselves , right ? and so sending her to school with a name like artemisia , uh , people are just gon na ask questions . franco : see , the problem is that all of the women that i actually know serve as an unpleasant reminder of everything that i 'm trying to get away from . betsy lied to me . carly lied to me . heather lied to me a lot . so , if it 's gon na be a name that we choose from one of our lives in the past or one of our families , i think it 's gon na have to be yours . nina : [ scoffs ] nathan : something about victor that liesl is n't telling me ? madeline : victor ? no . [ sighs ] speak of the devil . dr. obrecht : alfred told me you 'd be here . i 'm so sorry your thanksgiving day was ruined . nathan : oh , it 's fine . is everything okay ? dr. obrecht : just a little lovers ' quarrel between britta and her prince . i 'm sure they 'll work it out . i was still hoping we 'd have a chance to spend some time together before i go . nathan : what do you mean , `` go `` ? go where ? [ keys jingling ] dr. obrecht : cesar ! britt : you know how it works with my mother . she makes me do things . she 's relentless . nikolas : did she pull a gun on you ? did she threaten your life ? britt : no . no . nikolas : no . so she did n't make you do anything . you chose to lie to my face . you chose to exploit my son . this is on you , britt -- no one else . britt : nikolas , it was n't like that . nikolas : you 'd do anything to get what you want , would n't you ? even putting my own son at risk . britt : he was n't at risk . i already told you that . nikolas : he was wandering port charles by himself . anything could have happened to him because you let him think it was okay to lie to me . britt : i 'm sorry . nikolas : yeah , it 's -- oh , my god , it 's the same story with you over and over again . you do something horrible and then claim that your mother coerced you . i used to empathize because god knows there 's plenty of monsters in my family . but the truth is you 're not some innocent victim trapped by your mother . you 're exactly like her . britt : no . i made a terrible mistake . nikolas : britt , why are you -- why are you crying ? huh ? you do n't get to feel bad . it 's selfish . and you are the worst kind of selfish . you really are a - a selfish woman that claims she 's selfless -- that the world is against poor , little you . you were about to confess today until your mother gave you a way out , and you took it . you do n't take responsibility for anything in your life ... but i want you out of mine . nina : how about allegra ? franco : oh , i like that . nina : yeah . franco : it 's `` happy . `` nina : it is . it 's `` happy . `` and i was thinking of my horse . franco : you want to name this child after a horse ? nina : well , my favorite horse . franco : you had more than one ? no one should have more than one horse . what , did you live on a farm ? nina : spoken like someone from below 14th street . franco : snob . nina : reverse snob . franco : okay , fine . you know what , then ? i 'm using my veto . allegra 's out . nina : okay . franco : come on . there has to be someone in your family that means something to you . nina : there actually is . there 's one person who means something to me . dr. obrecht : what is the meaning of this ? your boss throws cesar in a hole , she tortures him , and he 's the one in handcuffs ? dante : i do n't owe you any explanations , lady . dr. obrecht : nathan , are you going to let him talk to your mother like that ? faison : `` mother `` ? julian : i never wanted to frame ric . i knew what he meant to molly , how important molly is to alexis . ca n't tell you how awful i felt when i heard that lansing got himself killed by one of your detectives . you have to understand . it was ric or my family . i did what i had to to protect the people i love . anna : all right , so fine . then you explain all those circumstances to your lawyer . in the meantime , you 're coming with me . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : molly , please let -- molly : you think you can apologize , and that makes everything okay ? my dad would be alive if it were n't for you . alexis : i did n't know , honey . i did n't know . molly : i begged you to defend dad , and you would n't ! you refused to believe he was innocent ! you insisted on believing julian instead , even though you knew he was a liar ! alexis : i know . i should have listened to you . i trusted julian . i should n't have , and if i could take it all back , i promise you i would . molly : you 've said what you need to say . please just go . alexis : molly , please do n't do this . please ? i love you . molly : yeah , i love you , too , but right now , i just ca n't look at you without seeing my dad in a body bag . alexis : i 'm sorry . molly : i just need some time . okay ? i 'll see you at home . lulu : if you wo n't rethink murdering faison for tracy or for me , then do it for rocco . he deserves to get to know you . luke : okay , fair enough . but i 'm telling you -- if slim and dante ca n't handle this , and that poisonous cold - war relic slips through the cracks ... tracy : i will shoot him myself . luke : it makes sense that faison would be behind this . sick , twisted son of a -- you know , he passed himself off as duke lavery awhile back . he was after sonny corinthos ' business . so now he got himself a luke spencer mask , and he 's coming at corinthos from another angle . britt : nikolas , please listen to me . we can talk about this . nikolas : what is there to talk about ? we 've had this discussion too many times , britt , and i 'm tired . i 'm exhausted . britt : nikolas . nikolas : what -- what are you expecting ? some cathartic blowup ? hmm ? should i shout ? should i throw something ? would that make you feel better ? would that make you feel like the victim ? i 'm not gon na do it . i 'm fought out . and i 'm done with you . pack your things and leave . faison : liesl , this is your son ? dr. obrecht : yes . this is nathan . i had him with another man while you and i were apart . but it does n't change my feelings for you , cesar . dante : all right , that 's enough of whatever that is . let 's go . interrogation room . come on . nathan : need a hand ? dante : maybe . [ chuckles ] dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] dr. obrecht : this ruins everything . it ca n't end this way . madeline : do n't tell me you were about to run off with that lunatic again . dr. obrecht : halt die klappe ! ( shut up ! ) madeline : ooh , temper , temper , temper , liesl . it 's a good thing that they 're locking him up because i was n't about to let you leave -- not with what i know about you and ... james . nina : there is one person in my family who is good and honest , who always had my back , always did right by me . franco : who 's that ? nina : j. james nathan reeves . `` west `` was an add - on . franco : whoa . you want to name this little girl after your cop brother ? nina : yeah . if there is anyone that i want this little cherub to be like , it would be j. james . franco : james ? okay . fine by me . i mean , girls having boys ' names is very popular right now , right ? nina : yeah . well , no , no . not -- like jaime . not james . franco : oh , i like that . nina : yeah , i was thinking of jaime sommers , too . franco : hi , jaime . who 's jaime sommers ? nina : `` who 's jaime sommers ? `` do you not know the bionic woman ? you do n't ? oh , my god ! are you serious ? we are so pulling episodes up for sure . you got to see it . she was a role model for me when i was growing up . i mean , she was so confident and caring , and she could hear really well . she was bionic . she was incredible , and , you know , that 's the kind of life that i want to show this girl . i want her to know ... [ baby sneezes ] franco : bless you . nina : bless you . [ baby sneezes ] nina : bless you again . [ chuckles ] ... that she 's ... [ baby coos ] nina : not one more . [ both chuckle ] nina : ... that she 's not a slave to her circumstances and that i 'll always have her back and i 'll always take care of her . franco : well , then i will , too . nikolas : [ clears throat ] britt : ca n't we just sleep on this ? nikolas : the launch is ready . must n't keep the captain waiting . oh , britt , wait . get a lawyer . i plan to prosecute you for what you did to my son . dr. obrecht : i 'm not in the mood for any of your sibling power plays , magda . i do n't take your orders -- big sister or not . madeline : i 'm not ordering you to do anything , liesl . i 'm merely warning you about the consequences if you refuse to cooperate . dr. obrecht : what do you mean ? madeline : you 're gon na testify for me at my trial . you 're gon na tell the court that nina forced me to do everything that i did . dr. obrecht : and why would i perjure myself for you ? madeline : because if you do n't , i 'll tell james who his father really is . anna : all right , mr. jerome will be spending the night with us again . officer : that did n't take long . anna : yeah , exactly . right , i want everything done by the book . i do n't want his lawyer finding anything wrong on our end , all right ? officer : you got it . anna : thanks . julian : [ sighs ] anna : alexis , uh , you 'll be able to speak with your client in a little while , once he 's been booked , okay ? alexis : i did n't come here to help julian . i just spent an hour explaining to my daughter that he framed ric and that he 's the reason her father is dead . i came here because i would like to hear any updates that you have about the man impersonating ... anna : alexis ... there 's something you need to know . molly : i never doubted you , dad . i always knew you were a good man . and now everyone else will know it , too . [ voice breaking ] i 'm just sorry you are n't here to see it . alexis : did you find the man impersonating luke ? anna : yes , we did . i 'll fill you in on all that . um ... can you just -- can you just sit down ? i just need to talk to you about something . alexis : are the girls okay ? anna : yes , of course . um ... alexis : what 's wrong ? anna : it 's something i should tell you about ric . he did n't ... he 's alive . dante : how long has this been in the works ? cesar , hey . how long has this been in the works ? how long you been , uh , targeting sonny and luke ? faison : [ sighs ] i believe , in this country , i 'm due a phone call . tracy : you must be exhausted . come on , let 's go up to bed . ah -- actually , i 'm not sure if we live here or not , but i do n't think even monica would object after what you 've been through . let 's go . luke : you go ahead . i just want to sit here quietly for a minute with my drink . i 'll be right up . i 'm not going anywhere . tracy : okay . i love you . luke : i love you . [ sighs ] [ cell phone beeping ] [ beeping continues ] luke : yes ? faison : yeah , well , everything worked like a charm on my end . luke : ditto . not one of these idiots is any the wiser .

i 'm not so sure that i like the sound of that . anna : well , too bad . bye . mcbain : hi . thanks for meeting me . anna : sure . what can i do for you ? mcbain : hire me . dr. obrecht : i flew out as soon as i could make arrangements . is it true ? faison : scorpio 's here . he suspects who i really am . he confided in an old associate of mine , helena cassadine , and she was kind enough to fill me in . so you tell me , plumber -- are you responsible for the leak ? dr. obrecht : i have n't revealed your true identity to anyone . faison : well , i wonder how scorpio got the information . more importantly ... i wonder what he 's gon na do with it . dr. obrecht : well , there 's no evidence to prove his theory . perhaps scorpio will give up . faison : mm . he wo n't give up . he is relentless . there 's only one way to deal with him . dr. obrecht : you 're going to kill him ? is that wise ? faison : not for me . well , that 's why you are here . i shall be far away with the perfect alibi . dante : i know luke was suspicious of lavery . robert : with good reason , too . dante : but i still do n't get how this faison guy fits into the mix . robert : let me cut to the chase . faison is obsessed with anna . spent most of his life stalking her . 10 years ago , we got a report that he was dead , but , in effect , he 's really been laying low and assuming lavery 's identity . dante : so luke sent you here to warn anna ? robert : pretty much . but she 's not gon na go for anything without proof , and ... well , that 's where you come in . dante : i was afraid you were gon na say that . robert : it 's simple . you got to get lavery to come into the station . dante : on what grounds ? robert : well , no charges . just that you want to talk about a police matter . dante : well , i 'm gon na have to be more specific than that . robert : lavery was once part of a criminal syndicate in port charles . tell him -- ask him . you want to use his expertise . get him in there , get him in the interrogation room . i 'll be behind the mirror . let him loosen up a little bit . talk about the bad old days , and then throw in a question about faison . dante : what kind of question ? robert : well , that he was crossing through turkey at the time that duke was there . dante : okay . and then what ? we watch him , see how he reacts . robert : what do you say ? dante : i 'm sorry . i ca n't do that . sabrina : did you just say `` our date `` ?

lulu : yeah ! i mean , why would n't anything be okay ? patrick : well , first thing , it 's a hospital , so usually you do n't come here when everything 's okay . and , second of all , you just -- you look a little nervous . lulu : um , well , yeah , i am . it 's a big day . patrick : why is that ? lulu : i 'm having a baby . i mean , i 'm not having a baby , but maxie 's having our baby . maxie : obviously , you 've already talked to mac after he convinced me to hold off on telling you so that we could tell you together , which is not cool . felicia : do n't be mad at mac . when he got home , i could tell that he had big news , and i would n't let up until he told me what it was . maxie : so you 're here to try to talk me out of it ? felicia : would you just hear what i have to say before you assume the worst ? maxie : well , i 've already heard all of it from mac -- i 'm not thinking this pregnancy through , it 's a huge responsibility , i would be closing myself off to all of life 's possibilities . felicia : actually , that was n't what i was going to say . maxie : fine . felicia : please , come sit down . maxie , i know what you must be feeling right now , with spinelli choosing the other girl and with all the things that you 've had to deal with this year , you must be feeling very lonely . maxie : maybe , a little . felicia : well , most people would withdraw under those kind of circumstances , but not you . you 're very generous , and you have a lot of love to give . and that is exactly what you 're doing . you are offering your friends an incredible gift . maxie : and yet you do n't seem very happy about it . felicia : you are about to give birth to someone else 's child . that could be a very gratifying experience . maxie : or ? felicia : it could be a huge mistake . tracy : uh , i invited you for one simple reason -- because you 're family . sam : danny 's a little too young to chat . tracy : well , he 's certainly darling to look at . tea ? there 's , um ... uh , scones with clotted cream and cucumber sandwiches , and , of course ... pickle - lila . sam : pickle - lila ? tracy : yes , my mother 's relish . it goes with everything . sam : i 'm not really hungry . tracy : okay , well , maybe later . maybe i should give the baby his present . i have someone who wants to meet you . do you want to meet him ? his name is mr. bear . sam : you know what , tracy ? why do n't you forget about bears and clotted cream and tell me why are you doing this . tracy : uh ... you have to ask ? because we 're family . sam : what do you really want ? a.j . : i 'll tell you why . she wants your 18 % of elq . we put a week 's worth of bad odors in a home . tracy : i thought i made myself perfectly clear -- you 're not invited . a.j . : [ chuckles ] you know , i almost feel bad for tracy -- all those years as c.e.o . of elq , and the only thing grandfather left her was this little jar of relish . tracy : i am perfectly happy with my inheritance . a.j . : yeah , but you would have been a lot happier with shares of elq . you see , tracy 's smart . she knows that , between jason 's shares and danny 's shares , you now control 18 % . sam : wait . what about the other shares that jason already controlled -- i think the ones that he inherited from alan and lila and emily ? tracy : not that i wanted to discuss business today . a.j . : what are you talking about ? that 's exactly why you invited her to this little party . tracy : daddy had controlling interest in elq , but the company charter was made up so that all the other shares are subordinate to his . sam : so the other stock does n't count . tracy : well , it collects dividends . it 's actually very valuable . but only the shares that are controlled by his direct heirs are the ones that have a say on the board . sam : no one else ? tracy : theoretically , if the board was deadlocked and there was a perfect tie , then the other shares would get voted . a.j . : now , do we know who controls those shares ? i mean , apart from sam , on behalf of jason ? tracy : do n't get too excited , junior . daddy managed to reacquire all of the shares that left the family to other businesses and ex - wives , and , in fact , he was in control of all of it at his passing . a.j . : which would explain tracy 's sudden burst of hospitality . see , if she gets enough shareholders behind her , then she does n't have to worry about getting booted as c.e.o . of elq . tracy : `` booted `` ? i 've done an excellent job . who would want to oust me from my position ? a.j . : i do n't know . probably about 41 % . tracy : i can think of 41 % who would n't . a.j . : well , looky , looky . you 've been doing some math . tracy : and you have , too . plotting behind my back with skye , were you ? sam : so , the way i see it , my 18 % could swing the vote either way . sabrina : [ laughs ] i 'm not trying to land anyone , okay ? felix : mm - hmm . then how come you lost the power of speech when dr. drake mentioned `` date `` ? sabrina : for the last time , it 's not a date . r. drake and i are just trying to find funding for the nurses ' ball . felix : nurses have balls ? sabrina : it 's a benefit . the nurses all put a show on . they sing and they dance , and all the money goes to fight aids . they used to do it every year . felix : where do i sign up ? sabrina : you 're interested ? felix : oh , please . you had me at `` sing and dance . `` there was n't a moment in my childhood when i did n't have an original soundtrack playing on a stereo . sabrina : [ laughs ] felix : so , when does this `` meeting `` happen ? sabrina : right now . felix : come on . let me zshoozsh you up . sabrina : i do n't know if zshoozshing 's gon na help me . felix : zshoozshing helps everyone . here . i have some lipstick . sabrina : you carry lipstick with you ? felix : not just any lipstick . the best lipstick -- cocoa red velvet cupcake . trust me . you 're gon na love it . so , tell me more about the ball . sabrina : well , h.i.v . and aids - related programs were a major cause for dr. drake 's wife . she passed away earlier this year . felix : so the doctor 's grief - stricken . sabrina : yeah . i 'm hoping this 'll help him out . it 'll be a really great way to honor his wife 's legacy . he just misses her so much . felix : wait . is n't he dating dr. westnile ? sabrina : uh , dr. westbourne . and patrick -- uh , dr. drake is n't ready to move on yet , and even if he were , she 's not right for him . felix : and you are ? sabrina : i never said that . felix : all i 'm saying is , if i could break off a piece of that -- mmm ! -- i would . [ chuckles ] sabrina : [ chuckles ] lulu : so , maxie 's gon na be our surrogate . patrick : congratulations , lulu . i think that 's amazing . that 's great for you . lulu : and do you have any thoughts about maxie as our choice ? 'cause a lot of people have a lot to say . patrick : i would imagine , but they obviously do n't know maxie the way ... the way we know maxie . i mean , she 's amazing with emma . she was the first person that cared about me when i was abusing drugs , and between the two of you , you both saved my life . lulu : oh , you save lives every single day . patrick : yeah , but i get paid for it . maxie does it pro bono , and that 's the way maxie is , and that 's why she 's amazing , so , yes , i think it 's a wonderful choice , and you could have done way worse . [ both laugh ] lulu : mm . yeah . maxie : mom , i understand what this involves , and i can handle it -- the weight gain , the stretch marks , i can even handle the drugs . felicia : well , i 'm glad you 're prepared mentally , but what about physically ? i almost lost you when you were a little girl . maxie : i 'm gon na tell the doctor i was a transplant recipient , and they just need to make sure that i 'm on the right anti - rejection meds , but my health is fine , so i can be a surrogate . felicia : pregnancy is a miracle , but it 's also very demanding . maxie : [ scoffs ] why ca n't i just get your support on this ? i have mac and anna 's support , so why ca n't i have my own mother 's ? felicia : well , i guess i 'm having a hard time with this because i am your mother , maxie . i carried you inside of me , you and your sister . i know what it feels like to have that life and to want to protect her with everything that you 've got . you are going to be the center of that child 's life for nine months , and somebody 's going to take that child away from you . i 'm just worried that you 're not gon na be able to walk away from this . maxie : you did . you might have carried me inside of you for nine months , but ... you had no problem walking away . mcbain : the lawyer says i need money to fight for custody of my son . i need to show a stable income . i need a job , anna . anna : oh , honey . but would n't it be better in llanview ? i mean , why port charles ? you 'd be closer to your son in llanview . mcbain : yes . there 's a restraining order barring me from any contact . anna : that 's a bit excessive . mcbain : yeah . i keep my distance because i know if i was in llanview , i would violate it . anna : okay . mcbain : and if i go back in the llanview police department ... there 's a pretty good chance bo loses his job as commissioner . anna : all right . then i guess it 's port charles . mcbain : yeah , you know , i 'm living out of a suitcase , but i feel somewhat grounded here . i know some people , and anything that makes me look more stable . anna : stable dad . mcbain : stable dad . i need to work . anna : i do n't really -- i do n't really have anything to offer you -- i mean , not a good position that 's up to your expertise or certainly not your pay grade . mcbain : you know , i do n't need much . make me an offer . anna : i just lost detective padilla . she went to new york city . so ... dante needs a partner . i mean , it 's not like task force or anything . it is what it is . mcbain : that 's okay . and dante 's a good cop . he 's good people . anna : and what about working with me ? you know , we 've had a different kind of relationship -- mentor , whatever . i 'd be your boss . mcbain : oh , i knew there was a catch . anna : [ laughs ] mcbain : i think i 'd be okay with that . anna : great , john . that 's ... when do you want to start ? mcbain : how about ... now ? anna : detective mcbain , welcome aboard . dante : so you want me to drag lavery down to the station , under the commissioner 's nose , and question him . if this guy 's this ex - spy , like you say he is , would n't he be able to beat an interrogation ? robert : let 's forget the questioning . let 's try another angle . plastic surgery . we need to get him in front of an hd camera or a scanner . dante : i do n't have those kinds of resources . even if i did , i would n't be able to justify using them . robert : i need something -- anything -- right now . ' course . surgery . dante : there 's no proof . robert : not with photographs . there 's got to be a record , a document somewhere . maybe he 's got that on him . can you get a warrant to search his apartment ? dante : a warrant ? do n't you think that 's gon na tip him off ? robert : detective , i 'm running out of options here . dante : look , i got to go meet my wife . i promise you , i will help you to the best of my ability , within reason . robert : define `` within reason . `` dante : please just do n't do anything on your own . robert : i do n't see that i can at the moment . dante : look , i 've been at the pcpd a while now , and i 've heard your name mentioned a lot , always with respect . you say that lavery is faison , i believe you . just wait till i get back from the hospital . stay here . when i do , we 'll talk . dr. obrecht : you do n't know who else scorpio has confided in . if something happens to him , they might tell the police . faison : which would lead anna straight to me . dr. obrecht : you ca n't risk it . faison : no , i know scorpio . he wo n't give up his theory that duke lavery and faison are the same person . i have to find a way to neutralize him . robert : sorry , detective . faison 's six city blocks ahead of me , and it 's about time i caught up . britt : hello , patrick . lulu : dr. westbourne . britt : hey , where 's the rest of your crew ? lulu : they 're hopefully gon na be here any minute . patrick : are you here endocrinologist ? britt : starting the protocol for ivf today . patrick : wow . you are in -- you 're in good hands . lulu : oh , do n't i know that . patrick : okay , well , excuse me . i 've got to go meet up with sabrina . britt : sabrina ? patrick : yes , we 're working on the nurses ' ball . britt : oh , of course . enjoy . patrick : i 'll catch up with you guys . felix : i 'm gon na say it -- genius . sabrina : oh , my god ! it 's too dark ! it 's not me ! patrick : hey , sabrina , you ready ? sabrina : [ laughs ] ready ! patrick : [ chuckles ] you have something on your teeth . felicia : i 'm sorry , maxie . things have been so calm between the two of us lately that i really thought that we had moved past everything that 's happened . i guess we have n't . maxie : no , mom , i 'm sorry . you were right . yes , we ... have moved past this . felicia : still , i gave up the right to give out motherly advice when i walked away from you . maxie : i 'm happy you 're here . and i 'm really happy that you care . i think maybe the reason i snapped at you is because , yeah , i am nervous . i know this is a huge deal , but it feels right . felicia : i just do n't want to see you get hurt . maxie : i know . it 's just , lulu really wants this , and i want to be able to do this for -- oh , my gosh ! lulu ! felicia : maxie ? maxie : i was supposed to meet her at the hospital like a half an hour ago ! she 's gon na freak out . felicia : okay , wait . why do n't i take you ? maxie : to the hospital ? are you sure ? felicia : listen . i -- i wo n't deny that i 'm worried about you , but this is your decision . if this is what you want , i will stand by you every step of the way . dante : hey . lulu : where have you been ? did you get my texts ? dante : yeah , sorry . just got held up . lulu : well , the doctor was just here . she 's waiting for us downstairs . dante : okay , good . i 'm right on time , then . lulu : what happened ? dante : robert scorpio showed up . apparently , your father told him to come to me if he needed a favor . lulu : is something wrong ? dante : not if he listens to my advice . faison : i 'm gon na go see anna and find out how much she knows . dr. obrecht : do you want me to accompany you ? faison : no . if she sees you , she 'll recognize you from the clinic . you stay here . dr. obrecht : of course . let me know if you need anything . faison : well , now that you come to mention it , frau plumber , the w.c. is n't flushing properly . why do n't you go take a look at that ? tracy : we have made significant increases in a bad economy . a change in leadership would only cause uncertainty . the stock value could go down . that 's something that you should be concerned about , considering that you and baby daniel are significant shareholders . a.j . : or you could just forget about the stock altogether , and you could remember how tracy treated you and jason . and , hey , listen -- you got to admit , firing tracy would be some really great payback . i think it would be . it 's just me . tracy : why do you care what happens to elq ? you 're spending the rest of your life in prison . sam : maybe . but he does have a good point . tracy : [ laughs ] no , you 're not serious . a.j . : does that mean you 'll vote against tracy ? tracy : you would n't . sam : would n't i ? mcbain : where do you want me to start ? anna : the jason morgan case . yeah , the m.e . says that the accountant , bernie abrahms , was shot with two different guns . we recovered one at the scene that has scully 's prints all over it . mcbain : you looking for the second shooter ? anna : yeah . i think a good place to start is find out who scully was working for . mcbain : mm . faison : hello , anna . anna : oh . what a surprise . faison : well , a good one , i hope . anna : yes . yes , of course . this is john mcbain . faison : oh . duke lavery . mcbain : pleasure . anna : he 's an old friend of mine . a very talented detective . he 's gon na be joining the force , and he 's got his first assignment -- looking for the second shooter in the morgan case . faison : oh . well , if you 're as good as anna says you are , then i 'm sure you 're gon na find him . [ lock clicking ] anna : i just talked to you on the phone . i did n't expect to see you . faison : oh , i had an errand in the neighborhood . i thought i 'd come by and see if i could catch you and ask you if you had an answer for me . anna : what happened to this promise of being patient ? faison : now , do n't be cross with me . anna : no , i 'm not being cross . faison : well , i just get carried away . i 'm really looking forward to getting away with you . you know , escaping our jobs and our well - meaning but sometimes intrusive friends . anna : mm . faison : spending time together , like learning our differences and perhaps seeing that we 're still the same . anna : right . well , it sounds tempting . i 've been giving it some thought , and it would be nice ... i guess , to get away together . faison : do i have an answer ? [ lock clicks ] anna : very eager about this ski trip , are n't you ? faison : thought it would be fun . when was the last time you had fun , commissioner ? anna : i do n't know . [ cell phone rings ] faison : excuse me . yes ? dr. obrecht : you have a problem . scorpio just broke in . faison : i see . dr. obrecht : i managed to get out before he saw me , but he 's still in your apartment . faison : thank you very much for calling me , mr. abramowitz . do n't worry . i 'll -- i 'll handle it from here . dr. obrecht : you 'll take care of it ? faison : yes . um , stay out of the way , for your own safety . anna : is something wrong ? faison : that was my neighbor . he thinks somebody has broken in to my apartment . what should i do ? should i call the police ? anna : i am the police . faison : sometimes i forget . anna : well , let 's go to your apartment . come on . lulu : okay , so doctor 's waiting , you 're here . we just need maxie . dante : did she chicken out ? maxie : who you calling chicken , mister ? lulu : definitely not you . maxie : i hope you do n't mind . i brought some moral support . lulu : that 's fine . britt : well , looks like everyone 's here . why do n't you three follow me to the exam room . felicia : you 'll be okay ? maxie : yeah , i 'll be fine . are you ready ? lulu : we 're really doing this ? maxie : we really are . dante : who knew , it takes three people to make a baby , huh ? [ laughter ] britt : all right . maxie : okay . patrick : here you go . sabrina : thank you . can i get you two started with something to drink ? patrick : yeah , please . what would you like ? sabrina : i 'll just have a water . patrick : two waters , please . thank you . sabrina : this is a really nice place . patrick : yeah , it 's a little bit better than a cafeteria . less distraction . sabrina : right . we would n't want any of those . patrick : yeah . sabrina : not when there 's so much work to do . patrick : what have we got here ? sabrina : i started a list of possible donors . i read about these rich people . they paid off the crazy guy who poisoned the water supply . the press calls them the one - percenters . patrick : and you want them to donate ? sabrina : well , why not ? they 're the richest people in town . patrick : carly jacks , todd manning , sonny corinthos , johnny zacchara , tracy quartermaine . sabrina : right . forgot about that . tracy : samantha , do n't be hasty . elq is the quartermaine legacy . sam : you never thought i was good enough to be a quartermaine , and jason did n't want to be one . a.j . : jason wanted nothing to do with the family 's infighting . and i 'm pretty sure he would n't want it for you or danny , either . tracy : do n't let your emotions be manipulated by my felonious nephew . anyone who has ever trusted a.j . has lived to regret it . a.j . : nice work . sam : yeah , well , tracy was ... pretty awful to me back in the day . any opportunity i have to torture her , i 'll take it . but i think that was probably all it was . a.j . : meaning what ? sam : well , i do n't want to have anything to do with elq , and , to be quite honest , i 've heard that she 's been doing a pretty good job . a.j . : meaning you would n't vote against her ? ? sam : i think you have to answer tracy 's question first . why do you care ? what 's in it for you ? a.j . : look , she can talk all she wants about the company thriving . i happen to know some of the things that tracy 's been and they are not all on the up - and- up . sam : okay . what 's the big deal ? probably does n't compare to anything you 've done . a.j . : okay , fair enough . i am clearly not in a position to judge anybody , but ... sam : yeah . you know what ? i probably got to get home . can you tell tracy thanks for nothing ? thank you . a.j . : hey , sam , you know , tracy did go to all the trouble to get this food . i mean , somebody ought to eat it . what do you say ? sam : well , danny is down for the count . yeah , i -- i guess i could stay for a few minutes . a.j . : good . i 'm glad . britt : maxie , i 've looked over your records and consulted with your cardiologist . we 'll be carefully monitoring your anti - rejection meds throughout the pregnancy , but the heart transplant should n't interfere with your ability to act as a surrogate . lulu : are you sure ? 'cause we do n't want anything to happen . britt : maxie 's in excellent condition or we would not be moving forward . maxie : there 's nothing to worry about . so , uh , just tell us what we 're in for . britt : i 'll be running blood tests on all three of you . maxie , i 'll also be taking cervical cultures , as well as evaluating your uterus to make sure there are no defects with the implantation . maxie : no problem . britt : after that , the first step is to synchronize the cycles of both the donor and the recipient . maxie : well , that should n't be a problem . lulu and i used to be roommates , so our cycles area already in synch . britt : that will definitely help speed things along . we 'll also get you started on your injections today . lulu , i 'm gon na give you fertility medication that will help stimulate the maturation of your eggs . maxie , you 'll be receiving replacement hormones that will prepare your uterine lining . once lulu 's eggs are ready , we 'll collect them by transvaginal aspiration , fertilize them with dante 's sperm , and then transfer the embryo into maxie 's uterus . any questions ? this procedure makes significant demands on everyone involved , especially the surrogate . cooperation among the three of you is essential . are you sure this is the route you want to take ? maxie : we 're sure . dante : yeah , we 're sure . britt : okay . a.j . : so , uh ... how you doing ? sam : how you doing ? a.j . : i do n't know . um ... house is quiet without grandfather . sam : i can imagine . thank you for calling me . i mean ... i 'm really happy that danny got to meet his great - grandfather . a.j . : i wish i would have had a chance to say goodbye to him . sam : i know edward would have loved that . a.j . : yeah , i think that 's ... i think that 's why i care so much about elq . it 's just a chance for me to make him proud . i know that ... you 've got no reason to believe anything that i say , but i really want to get it right this time . sam : i believe you . [ doorbell rings ] tracy : alice ! [ scoffs ] never mind . ahh , lieutenant mcbain . you must be looking for my nephew . mcbain : actually , i 'm looking for you . patrick : i do n't know if any of these people are gon na be able to underwrite the nurses ' ball . sabrina : why not ? patrick : well , for starters , carly jacks -- i think most of her money 's tied up in the hotel , and it was actually her ex - husband that had all the money . thank you very much . sabrina : thank you . patrick : sonny corinthos -- i mean -- sabrina : what 's wrong with him ? patrick : sonny 's a gangster . sabrina : you 're kidding . patrick : no , no . sonny corinthos is one of the biggest criminals on the eastern seaboard . i mean , not only would it be sending the wrong message . we 'd probably be investigated for money laundering . sabrina : well , what about johnny zacchara ? patrick : same problem . sabrina : okay . uh , well , that leaves todd manning . please do n't tell me that he 's a mobster , too . patrick : i do n't know much about todd manning , but he does n't strike me as a philanthropist . sabrina : but that 's the last name on my list . i 'm out of rich people , and i 'm out of ideas . mcbain : i 'm now a detective with the pcpd . tracy : you 're kidding . the commissioner hired you ? mcbain : clearly , they were desperate . anyway , i need to ask you a couple questions about your friend joe scully jr . tracy : ex - friend . mcbain : ex - everything . um , do you -- do you know if he was ever working for anyone ? did he ever mention -- tracy : jerry jacks . mcbain : no . anyone else ? i mean , somebody who might have been pulling the strings ? tracy : not that i know of . mcbain : not that you know of . how about phone conversations ? did you ever overhear him talking to somebody where he might have been taking orders from them ? anna : okay , no heroics , all right ? just stay behind me . door 's open . faison : well , i definitely closed it and locked it . perhaps abramowitz is right . anna : police ! freeze ! [ scoffs ] lulu : you okay ? maxie : yeah , i 'm fine . lulu : you look a little pale . maxie : okay . to be honest , i 'm not the biggest fan of needles , which is kind of funny . i spent a lot of time in the hospital when i was a kid . lulu : i know that you know this , but you do n't have to do this . we can walk out of here , and dante and i would never judge you . maxie : i 'm here to help you have a baby , and nothing 's gon na stop me . just hold my hand , okay ? patrick : i 'm sorry to shut down all your ideas . sabrina : [ chuckles ] you 're just being honest . patrick : well , no one said that reviving the nurses ' ball was gon na be easy , but we 're not gon na give up . sabrina : in that case , are you sure we ca n't ask sonny corinthos ? patrick : yes , i 'm sure about sonny corinthos . why ? sabrina : when emma and i were looking through her photo album , i saw pictures of him with robin . patrick : sonny and robin were close -- so close that when he fired off a gun in our house and robin was injured ... sabrina : oh , my god . patrick : ... she did n't hesitate to forgive him . sabrina : that 's ... that 's amazing . patrick : that 's robin . i 'm sorry . sometimes it just gets the best of me . sabrina : you loved her . that 's nothing to be sorry about . tracy : as i said , lieutenant , i do n't have any information for you . mcbain : i want to thank you again for all your cooperation . i think next time i 'm gon na bring cookies or something . sam : thanks for the tea . a.j . : any time . not going anywhere . yet . tracy : excuse me . stop by any time . a.j . : what ? tracy : `` thanks for the tea `` ? you were working sam , were n't you ? a.j . : tracy , i have no idea what you 're talking about . tracy : you plied her with my scones , my sandwiches . admit it -- you want that 18 % just as badly as i do . a.j . : now , why would that even matter ? i 'm gon na be spending the rest of my life in prison , remember ? so you , aunty , have nothing to worry about . sam : i 'm sorry . mcbain : for what ? sam : i do n't know . yelling at you like a lunatic . telling you that you were n't some ... kind of a stand - in for danny . mcbain : forget about it , sam . i have . you know , in a way , you were right . i need to pull myself together . i need to get my son back , and , um ... i took your advice . got myself a job . i 'm working for the pcpd . sam : wow ! i think that 's great . mcbain : yeah , as of about half an hour ago , i 'm officially on the job . i 'm gon na find out who shot jason . anna : seriously ? breaking and entering ? robert : well , i got my reasons . anna : yeah , well , you do n't have a warrant , do you ? robert : well , that 's in the car . anna : you do n't think i 'm gon na arrest you ? faison : just calm down . this is distressing you , anna . i do n't have to press charges . robert : oh , shut up , you phony bastard ! ca n't you see how this guy 's playing you ? anna : you never change , do you , robert ? you are just so supremely arrogant ! robert scorpio does n't have to have a warrant , a badge , anything ! he can just barge in wherever he wants to , trying to dictate my life ! i 'm sick of it ! robert : i 'm trying to save your bloody life . now , this -- this here is not duke lavery . this is faison .

spencer : i have a question , and i 'm not leaving until i get an answer . where 's britt ? brad : hey , britt . britt : hey . brad : uh , listen -- sorry i never made it to wyndemere for thanksgiving . i promised lucas we 'd spend the holidays at his family 's , and to be perfectly honest , i was n't exactly psyched about spending the day with your mother . dr. obrecht : oh , cesar , how could you let this happen ? how could you once again fall into the bony clutches of that wretched anna devane ? anna : morning . i trust your cell was comfortable . faison : well , better than a pit in the stables at wyndemere . anna : so , i 'm waiting to hear from the da to find out ... faison : oh , yeah , scotty baldwin . i could buy him for the price of a cheap bottle of wine . why so cold , anna ? why so cold , anna ? are you angry with me ? anna : i despise you . i loathe the very air you breathe . any other questions ? faison : should n't i be the one who 's angry ? i mean , after all , i was unfairly imprisoned . and the fact that you had scorpio helping you ... anna : oh , you -- faison : that 's a cheat . that hurt me . anna : did it ? you deserve so much more than to rot in a pit . faison : yeah , yeah , i know , i know . you wish i was dead , right ? anna : slowly and painfully . i wish it with all my heart . faison : you did n't have the guts to kill me , did you ? still too much between us . do n't cry . anna : i 'm not crying . there is so much between us , is n't there ? decades of mental and emotional torture . threatening everyone i love . what was it all for , really , cesar ? i want to know why . because you could n't have me . you never really did . and you never will . faison : you handed me your soul when you left me in that pit . in that instant , anna , you made yourself no better than me . anna : yeah , but you 're still alive now , are n't you ? i am not like you . i 'm gon na uphold the law from now on . i am gon na make sure i follow it to the letter , because you are going to prison for the rest of your life . faison : the answer 's written all over your ... you say that all the time , but it never happens , does it ? never happens . anna : [ sniffles ] so ... apparently , you do n't have any representation . i have yet to hear from your lawyer . what 's that about ? who did you call ? faison : so boring . so boring . anna : who did you call last night ? because they do n't seem to be riding to your rescue . faison : well , everything worked like a charm on my end . fluke : ditto . not one of these idiots is any the wiser . jason : so , this cesar faison , he was posing as luke spencer ? that 's your ... former father - in - law , right ? elizabeth : as sorry as that may sound , it 's not the first time he 's tried to pass himself off as someone else . jason : really ? who was it last time ? elizabeth : duke lavery . in fact , that 's who he was pretending to be when he murdered jason . jason : ah . uh ... did n't mean to bring that up . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : it 's okay . jason : clearly , this faison is a dangerous guy . glad they caught him . elizabeth : yeah . jason : what the hell ? britt : do n't worry about it . thanksgiving at wyndemere was not ... it was -- it was worth missing . brad : hey . what 's wrong ? britt : nothing i care to talk about right now . i just want to inject this coffee into my system and dive into work . brad : oh . i get it . britt : you do ? brad : it 's your mother . you caught hell because i blew her off . britt : brad , it 's not about my mother . i mean , well , maybe partly , but that 's not why i 'm upset . brad : okay . so what could possibly be more upsetting than your mother ? britt : nikolas . he threw me out . nikolas : britt has moved out . spencer : britt loves us . why would she do such a thing ? nikolas : because i told her to . spencer : that 's terrible . why would you do that ? nikolas : because of what she did to you . alice : oh , good morning , mr. luke . i brought you some breakfast . fluke : well , thank you , alice . alice : you 're welcome . fluke : how are you this fine , beautiful morning ? alice : well , i 'm fantastic now that you 're home again , safe and sound . alice : yeah , i was reading about that . that is just really awful , the way that imposter guy tried to take over your life . i 'm really sorry that happened . but i kind of thought something was off . fluke : did you , now ? alice : yeah , i did . you know , ever since miss tracy brought you -- brought him -- back from miscavige , there was just something about him that just did n't sit right with me . fluke : what do you think it was that tipped you off ? alice : well , his attitude , for one . he was cold , you know ? and even though he sounded exactly like you , he had this tinge to his voice that was kind of -- kind of creepy and kind of mean . fluke : sounds like he was n't much fun to be around . alice : no , he was n't . he was a jerk . fluke : ha ! alice : and when i complained to miss tracy , she said , `` oh , it 's just the drugs he 's on and the electroshock therap -- oh , my god . you had electroshock therapy . that must 've been awful . fluke : i ca n't even describe it , alice . alice : so sorry you went through that . but i knew -- i knew that guy could n't be you . that was not the mr. luke that i knew . enjoy your breakfast . call me for any reason whatsoever . fluke : alice . alice : yes . what do you need ? fluke : why the hell did n't you do something about it ? faison : well , since i hate denying you anything , anna , who i called last night is none of your business , and you know it , too . anna : could n't have been obrecht , because she was already here at the station when you were brought in . faison : yeah . liesl , my greatest champion . anna : oh , god . she 's obsessed with you . it 's pathetic , the way she goes on and on about your supposed greatness . she 's nearly as loathsome as you . faison : only `` nearly `` ? anna : yeah . she 's so desperate to be loved by you . i do n't get it . she 'd do anything for you . i mean , that does n't absolve her of her crimes . you 're guiltier , by far . faison : `` guiltier `` ? what is that , when it comes to law ? either you 're guilty or not . you committed your own crimes -- anna : yeah , yeah , i did , because the justice system failed me . faison : it annoyed you 'cause the law did n't work the way you wanted , anna ... so you abandoned it . and now you 're gon na come back and pick it up again like some used glove ? and use it to punish me ? anna : you should be punished for the things you 've done . faison : who the hell do you think you are ? anna : most of all for what you did to robin . faison : robin . she was a charming child . useful adult . anna : oh , shut up ! you sick , evil bastard ! you took my child from me , and you made me and her family believe that she was dead . faison : you do n't see anything , do you ? she was stifled , anna , married to that boring doctor , wallowing in suburbia . i merely set her free . anna : you ruined her ! she never meant a damn thing to you . faison : you do n't know nothing about that . anna : you used her to get to me . faison : [ scoffs ] anna : you tortured her , you broke her , and now she wo n't even go back to her family . faison : should n't you do something about it ? hmm ? it 's your job . you 're her mother . anna : i ca n't fix her . i ca n't give her back the years that you took from her . faison : i did n't take anything from her . anna : i ca n't even persuade her to come home to her child . you know one thing i can do , though ? i can get her justice . i can make sure the you never have the chance to get near her again . that 's what i can do . faison : is that why you brought me out from my cell ? to tell me how you 'll keep me away from a grown - up woman -- beautiful , grown - up woman -- living where ? in paris ? i know where she is . anna : you 're not going to paris . you 're not going anywhere ... faison : let 's go to paris ! anna : ... but steinmauer . that 's where you 're gon na go forever . faison : you do n't listen to nothing , do you ? anna : cesar ... since you do n't have any counsel , there 's no one who 's gon na refuse your visitors . faison : i 'm not expecting anybody . anna : oh , well , that 's where you 're wrong . there 's a lot of people here in this town who would like to lay eyes on you . faison : it does n't matter . anna : and far be it for me to deny you your public . [ door opens ] dr. obrecht : verdammt ! how could this happen , cesar ? you finally tell me what i 've only dared to dream ... that you 've overcome your infatuation with that scarecrow , and ... you want to be with me . then you get yourself captured . once again , i am without you for who knows how long . how cruel the fates can be . elizabeth : something wrong ? jason : remember that woman i told you about ? elizabeth : the one who showed up at my house on thanksgiving and then left before i could see her ? jason : yes , the one that you thought i was imagining . elizabeth : i did n't say you did . i 'm just saying that hallucinations are not out of the realm of possibility when you 're dealing with a head trauma . jason : i was n't hallucinating . look at this article . this is the woman . this is the woman i met . elizabeth : oh , my god . you saw helena ? dr. obrecht : helena . alice : i 'm -- i 'm sorry , mr. luke . wh - what ? fluke : if you were so sure that that guy who was claiming to be me was n't me , why did n't you do something about it ? why did you leave me in that institution for the criminally insane for almost a year ? alice : w - well , i did n't know you were in there , and i thought something was wrong , but ... i tried to tell -- look , i 'm just a servant , you know ? i 'm the low person here , and i tried to tell people , but people over me , they thought everything was okay , so what was i supposed to do ? fluke : did you try to convince anybody ? alice : well , okay . my suspicions got greater when i -- i - i overheard miss tracy plotting with the fake luke to take over elq , and then i had the heart attack , and then when i -- fluke : hey , whoa , whoa ! whoa , wait . heart attack ? alice , you 're one of the fittest people i know . alice : i have n't had the chance to tell you , but -- but i 'm okay . i got a new heart now . it 's all good . fluke : you had a heart transplant ? alice : yeah . i - i had a heart transplant , but , um ... look , i 'm only in recovery mode now . i do n't like thinking about that anymore , and i 'm gon na be just fine , okay ? and i could n't tell you . i thought you were out of town . i did n't know you were -- i did n't know what was going on . fluke : alice , it 's okay . relax . i - i was just messing with you . alice : what ? fluke : do n't you remember how much fun we used to have , playing back and forth , bantering ? alice : you know what ? i think you 're right , mr. luke . i - i think i screwed up . fluke : no , no , you did n't . you did n't . nobody knew that that was n't me . alice : yeah . how could we know ? fluke : right . so the important thing is , that you 're feeling better , right ? alice : yeah , i am . i am feeling better . if you 're sure you 're not mad at me . fluke : i 'm not mad at you . i was just joking . of course , it was n't a joke when i found out that you had a heart transplant . alice : do -- do you want to know something kind of racy about me now ? fluke : yeah . alice : the heart they gave me belonged to a gangster who was killed by an fbi lady . fluke : no kidding . alice : yeah , so , what do i have ? i have a criminal heart . [ giggles ] fluke : oh , wow ! just when i thought i could n't like you any better . alice : really ? fluke : yeah . alice : thank you , mr. luke . i 'm so happy you 're safe . fluke : thank you . alice ? alice : yeah ? fluke : i 'm so glad you 're gon na be okay . alice : i 'm gon na be fine . fluke : i missed you . alice : i missed you , too , mr. luke . fluke : mm . luke spencer is back . anna : the justice department is keeping faison 's case under close scrutiny , so i 'm not gon na be able to give you much time with him . sam : that 's fine . we 're not gon na take long . anna : all right . just half an hour should n't throw up any red flags . it 's the least i can do under the circumstances . patrick : thank you , anna . anna : yeah . i 'm gon na leave you alone . i 'll be outside . i 'm sure you 've got a lot to talk about . faison : well , what do you want ? patrick : answers . faison : questions . sam : for starters , i want to know why you killed my husband . faison : you tell me where your husband is and who you are and -- sam : i am sam morgan -- mrs. morgan -- and you killed my husband , jason . elizabeth : are you sure this is the woman that showed up here on thanksgiving ? jason : yes , i 'm sure . why ? do you know her ? elizabeth : you could say that . dr. obrecht : mein gott . helena . helena : hello , liesl . it 's been a long time . dr. obrecht : i knew that victor was trying to revive you , but i had no idea that he succeeded . helena : oh , poor victor . i did n't get to thank him properly for going to the trouble of resurrecting me . and now i never will , because he 's dead . thanks to you . seems i 'm the only cassadine around to avenge him . spencer : what has britt ever done to me ? britt 's the best . nikolas : spencer , i know you have feelings for her , but her behavior , her choices , are unacceptable . spencer : she did n't do anything . nikolas : i know she was responsible for you running away . spencer : that 's not true . nikolas : do n't make this any worse by lying for her -- spencer : you do n't have your facts straight . nikolas : oh ? spencer : running away was all my idea . nikolas : [ sighs ] okay . look , even -- even if it was , spencer , britt should never have gone along with it . she 's an adult . she should know better . spencer : but i wanted to do it -- to bring you and britt back together . nikolas : you were on your own for more than 48 hours . do you understand ? you 're too young to go unsupervised for that amount of time . spencer : i was -- nikolas : no , no , no , no ! not only did she know your whereabouts , she encouraged you to stay hidden . spencer : i was -- nikolas : which put you at risk ! she put you at risk . it 's called child endangerment . it 's a serious offense . it 's a crime ! spencer : but britt was there to comfort you . nikolas : [ breathes deeply ] spencer : so you could fall back in love . what 's wrong with that ? nikolas : what 's -- what 's wrong with that ? what 's wrong -- you ca n't get people to do what you want by manipulating them . i thought britt understood that , but obviously , she does n't . spencer : but that 's just because she loves you , and now that she has everything she 's ever wanted , she does n't have to manipulate anybody ever again . nikolas : you do n't understand . she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants , including using a 9-year - old boy . i 'm sorry , but i can not be with someone who would use my son to get to me . spencer : so you just threw her out , just like that ? nikolas : just like that . and this time , she 's not coming back . brad : nikolas found out about the spencer thing ? but how ? britt : he overheard my mother threaten to , as she so poetically put it , destroy my happiness with nikolas . long story short , i had no choice but to come clean . brad : wow . that is one sucky thanksgiving . [ breathes deeply ] so , did nikolas totally freak out ? britt : that was my worst fear -- someday he would find out the truth and just explode . i even had nightmares about it . but he did n't . he just calmly ... told me to leave . the indifference was like it did n't matter if i stayed or if i went , like it did n't mean anything that our relationship was over , like i did n't mean anything to him . britt : thanks . brad : sure . i can give you another if you need it . britt : that 's okay . i 'm -- i 'm good . brad : [ sighs ] oh , god , britt . why -- why did n't you call me ? britt : because it was thanksgiving , and ... you were with your boyfriend , and i did n't want to bother you . brad : but even if i was having the best thanksgiving ever , you and i , we 're besties . britt : we are ? brad : when the chips are down , if we ca n't count on each other , who can we count on ? britt : thank you . it 's nice to hear , because ... i 'm probably gon na be needing you a lot real soon . brad : uh - oh . what now ? britt : nikolas is planning to press charges against me . spencer : you do n't mean that . there 's no way you 'd kick britt out for good . nikolas : yes , i do . spencer : you 're just upset . once you calm down , you 'll forgive her . i know it . nikolas : no , i wo n't . spencer : so , what are you saying ? there 's nothing britt can do ? she made one mistake , and now it 's all over ? nikolas : spencer , she did n't just make one mistake . she told one lie after another after -- you know the saying , `` fool me once , shame -- `` spencer : `` fool me once , shame on you , but fool me twice , ca n't get fooled again . `` nikolas : no . `` fool me twice , shame on me . `` britt fooled me more than a few times . spencer : so you 're ashamed ? nikolas : no . no . come here . i 'm just disappointed . okay ? i should never have trusted britt , let alone bring her back into our lives , after what she did to aunt lulu . you remember that . spencer : well , you did . aunt lulu was okay with it . nikolas : but even if that was true , spencer ... when you ran away , britt knew how upset i was , she knew how much pain i was in , and she let me feel that way -- spencer : because -- nikolas : no . she -- go ahead . spencer : because she loves you . nikolas : no . that 's not how you treat people you love , spencer . i 'm sorry , but it 's over between britt and me . spencer : no , you have to give her another chance . you have to forgive her ! i ca n't lose my mother all over again . fluke : `` fluke `` ! [ chuckles ] tracy : darling . fluke : yes . tracy : commissioner devane is here to see you . anna : hi . fluke : hi , slim . anna : hi . oh , it 's good to see you . well , the real you , anyway . fluke : it 's good to be seen . anna : yeah . fluke : what can we do for you ? anna : well , nothing , really . um , nothing . tracy : really ? then what are you doing here ? anna : i came to apologize -- to both of you . what happened to you , luke ... it 's entirely my fault . elizabeth : helena seems to have access to unlimited funds . she has connections all over the world . she has people kidnapped and tortured and murdered just like some of us go to the grocery store . jason : whoa . why ? elizabeth : in her mind , it has something to do with the greater glory of the cassadines . jason : that 's not the sanest motive i 've ever heard . elizabeth : she is thoroughly sane , and she is thoroughly evil . she uses people whenever she wants . jason : sounds like you 're speaking from personal experience . elizabeth : well , her special targets are the spencers . what she did to aiden 's father is just -- jason : actually , uh , i 'm more interested in what she did to you . elizabeth : well , it should n't matter . it should n't matter because she should be dead , but for some reason , the woman always seems to come back . jason : so ... if this rich , powerful , very dangerous woman can go anywhere in the world , why would she come here , and why would she want to speak to me ? dr. obrecht : helena , please , i killed victor to ensure my child 's safety . knowing how much family means to you , surely you understand . helena : oh , victor was my family . now surely ... you understand that . [ chuckles ] relax , liesl . to be honest ... i was never very fond of victor . he was certainly no mikkos . and he was n't even a cesar faison , the object of your foolish blubbering . dr. obrecht : cesar and i were reunited last night , and today we were supposed to run away together . but now he 's incarcerated . helena : not for long . sam : i 'm waiting ! why did you shoot my husband ? ! faison : it was pure business . of all persons , your husband would understand . sam : no , jason would not understand . he had honor . he had code . you -- you shot him in the back . faison : it was business . sam : and then you kicked him into the water like some kind of animal , and you acted like you enjoyed it . faison : yeah , i do enjoy my work , so ... sam : are you getting me ? ! are you listening to yourself right now ? i am telling you that you murdered my husband , and you are acting like you have absolutely no remorse . and i 'm sure you 're perfectly fine with killing patrick 's son . faison : [ chuckles ] i have no idea what you 're talking about . patrick : my son -- gabriel . he was born four months premature . and he died because you forced rafe kovich to run us off the road . faison : come on , drake . do n't be an idiot . i never arranged an accident to take out your son . that was ... victor cassadine . nikolas : i know you care about her . but britt 's not your mother . spencer : well , she was supposed to be . i never got to know my real mother , so britt was the closest i 've ever come to having one . and i love her . nikolas : britt is nothing like courtney . you understand me . spencer : how am i supposed to know that ? nikolas : your mother was a good person . she was an honest person -- the exact opposite of britt . spencer : so you 're saying my mom was perfect . she never made one mistake . nikolas : that 's not what i 'm saying . of course she made mistakes . we all make mistakes . we all make poor choices . but she was n't manipulative . she did n't use people to get what she wanted . she did n't do the things that britt does over and over again . and let me -- she would never have endangered you . never ! spencer : well , i deserve to have a mother , and i want britt . nikolas : spencer , do n't -- do n't you -- i will not have you keep talking to me like this . so this is the final word on the subject . do you understand ? britt is a terrible person ! and we 're both better off without her . britt : diane , it 's urgent that i speak to you . please call me back at your earliest convenience . thanks . brad : great . now you can be prepared for whatever prince throws at you . britt : still , how am i ever going to afford her ? do you know how massive her retainer is , not to mention her hourly ? brad : all right . forgive me for prying , but are n't you a doctor ? should n't you be able to afford a condo , a country - club membership , and a sports car ? britt : well , thanks to my mother 's unwavering belief in self - sufficiency , i 'll be paying off my med - school loans until ... just before the sun burns out . brad : okay , okay . i was just asking . if diane 's not an option , then what ? britt : it 's not like i can call alexis davis . i mean , she 's nikolas ' aunt . brad : you know , alexis and diane are n't the only lawyers in town . britt : yeah , but they are the best , and i have a feeling that 's what i 'm gon na need . brad : well , then i 'll be happy to help you pay for it . britt : brad , that 's really , really sweet . but i know what you make . brad : yeah . so do i . offer still stands . but if i 'm gon na help you foot your massive legal bills ... i better get to work before your mother docks me for being late . britt : yeah , we would n't want that . thank you . i really appreciate your help . brad : what are besties for ? hey . i 'm really sorry about this whole thing , for whatever it 's worth . britt : it 's worth a lot . i love you , you know ? brad : of course you do . i love you , too . tracy : a hole ? anna : well , it was more of a subterranean cell with what -- tracy : it was a hole ! you decided to stash cesar faison , who escaped a supermax in switzerland , in the bowels of wyndemere ? anna : i wanted to keep him in my control . tracy : really ? well , you did a bang - up job . fluke : tracy ... tracy : do n't `` tracy `` me . and now you 're telling me that your desire to keep control over him was so consuming that you never checked on him once ? anna : i did n't , no . robert had somebody that was supposedly doing that . tracy : uh - huh . spectacular . well , thank you for that crackerjack police work ! because thanks to you , that man went around port charles for almost a year with his face . anna : i know . i can not apologize to you both enough . i can not . tracy : no , you ca n't ! because i ended up married to that psychopath ! fluke : life was n't exactly a bowl of cherries for me , either . tracy : you 're absolutely right about that . it was not ! fluke : she did n't do it on purpose . she was trying to keep everyone safe . tracy : oh , really ? by putting faison in a hole instead of sending him back to supermax ? ! fluke : look , anna knows what kind of a monster faison is . she did n't trust those noted pacifists , the swiss , to keep him under lock and key . you were only doing what you thought was right . i respect that , and i accept your apology . anna : thank you . thank you . tracy : i do n't . anna : i understand . fluke : well , the important thing is , he 's behind bars , and he 's gon na pay for his crimes . patrick : victor cassadine . faison : who else ? why in the world do you think it would be me ? patrick : spencer cassadine told us that luke threatened him . you were impersonating luke . faison : oh , come on . spencer cassadine ? you took the word of a boy ? sam : that boy happens to be my cousin . are -- are you denying that you threatened to hurt patrick 's daughter if spencer did n't stay quiet about your plan to take sonny down ? faison : believe me or not . i do n't give a damn . i mean ... it was victor . sam : well , that does n't -- that does n't make any sense . why would victor cassadine want to do that to patrick ? why ? faison : victor did n't want ... drake talking about what he was up to at crichton - clark ... with drake 's wife ... and your husband . sam : what do you mean , my husband ? my husband was never at crichton - clark . he died two years ago . faison : wrong again , sweetheart . jason : why would she leave when i said i was coming to get you ? and why would she want to talk to me at all ? elizabeth : well , she 's always had an eye for handsome men . jason : [ clears throat ] thanks . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : did she say anything to you ? jason : just what i already told you . she said she was an old family friend . elizabeth : with friends like her ... jason : yeah . i just find it so weird she would n't tell me her name . elizabeth : so , what was helena doing here ? what exactly did she want ? helena : your dear cesar will not be going to prison . no , in fact , very soon , faison will be a free man . dr. obrecht : what makes you so sure ? helena : because ... i 'm the one who 's going to make it happen . spencer : i 'm sorry , father , but i do n't agree with you . and for the record , i do n't care what you think . nikolas : do not speak to me that way ! spencer : i 'm not better off . i love britt , and i hate you for making her go away . jason : i better get going . thank you for breakfast . elizabeth : what , do you have an appointment i do n't know about , a follow - up at the hospital or ... ? jason : no , no , nothing like that . i went online last night , and i found a lot of opportunities in the job postings , and , uh ... well , with any luck , by the time i get back , i might be gainfully employed . elizabeth : well , i wish you luck . but just so you know , there 's no pressure . you can stay here as long as you need , rent - free . jason : i greatly appreciate your generosity ... but , uh , i ca n't live off of you indefinitely . elizabeth : it 's only been a few days . we 're a long way from indefinitely . i still have to pull my own weight . elizabeth : well , i can see there 's no point in arguing . besides , i have to get back to work , and i need to call the police and let them know you received a visit from the queen of the damned . jason : the queen of the damned ? elizabeth : yeah , one of the nicknames my father - in - law gave helena . there 's really no insult bad enough to describe her . but queen of the damned comes pretty close . jason : hmm . [ chuckles ] see ya later . dr. obrecht : what are you saying , helena ? are you going to break cesar out of jail ? how do you plan to do that ? helena : well , suffice it to say , i have the proper personnel in place . it 's all part of my master plan . dr. obrecht : oh . this is wonderful ! i do n't know how i will ever be able to thank you for this . helena : i 'll think of something . i always do . anna : i have to get back to the police station , so , thank you for your time . tracy : yes , you probably want to make sure that faison has n't escaped . you did put him in a cell this time -- did n't you ? -- rather than chaining him to a bike rack in the parking lot and hoping for the best ? fluke : tracy ... anna : it 's okay . tracy has every right to be concerned . yes , faison is in police custody , and he 's not going anywhere . sam : what the hell are you talking about ? faison : i admit i put a bullet in the back of your husband , kicked him in the harbor ... sam : you are a son of a bitch . you know that ? faison : ... but your resilient jason did n't die . sam : you 're lying . you 're lying . if jason was alive , he would 've come looking for me . faison : while he was unconscious , his lungs filled with water when he was fished out of the water and taken to crichton - clark . sam : no , you are lying . faison : i 'm not lying ! i 'm not lying . if you have more questions , put them to dr. drake . elizabeth : it was helena cassadine . anna : what ? after everything she did to you and lucky ? i ca n't believe that helena would just knock on your door and come waltzing into your living room . what am i saying ? of course i can believe it . elizabeth : i just thought you should know . anna : yeah , thanks . i 'll get someone on it right away . elizabeth : anna , um , if it 's not too much trouble ... anna : oh , yeah , no . i 'll make sure there 's extra patrols in your neighborhood . elizabeth : thanks . and i 'll let you know if i see helena again . [ doorbell rings ] elizabeth : oh . dr. obrecht : chin up , britta . everything 's going to be all right . britt : what makes you think anything , much less everything , is going to be all right ? dr. obrecht : just a feeling . [ door opens ] anna : what are you smiling about ? patrick : sam . sam , wait , please . i got to talk to you . sam : fine ! talk ! faison just said that you knew that jason did n't die on that pier ! is it true ? ! is it ? ! patrick : yes . helena : mr. doe . over here . tracy : alice , where 's luke ? alice : i do n't know . maybe he went out . fluke ( to luke ) : so ... how do you like your new accommodations ? nice , huh ?

jax : there 's my newest vice president . how 's your day so far ? sam : you ca n't hear the hissing in the office snake pit from here ? i 'm officially the boss 's bimbo and it did n't help matters when someone asked me to find the latest p & e and i thought it was the local convenience store down the street . jax : and this bothered you ? sam : oh , i can learn the lingo . jax : no , no , i mean , that they were referring to you as my -- sam : your girlfriend . jax : right . sam : i think i can handle it . jax : really ? sam : yeah . do you want to remind me why ? jax : sure . did the door lock behind you ? tracy : unfortunately , for the rest of us , that would be a no . i am impressed with your proficiency . do you watch a lot of porn ? [ scene_break ] luke : i 'm no tree hugger . i want real mahogany for the bar and get the slots from monte carlo . none of this penny ante state line crap . man : oh , you 're going to have a great place here . luke : you remember me , do well , i 'll remember you on opening night . man : oh , you got it . luke : thanks . skye : mahogany ? monte carlo ? are n't you being just a little bit extravagant ? luke : no . i 'm going to spend every cent of this $ 500,000 i found under the floorboards to lure in the high rollers . faith : you 're being awfully loose with my money . [ scene_break ] monk : he 's in the next room . jason : i was curious . why would a monastery needed a high - powered lawyer like justus ward ? monk : ah . you do n't know . you have a visitor , brother . [ scene_break ] sonny : carly . carly : damn , i did n't mean to wake you . i just wanted to see how you were doing , you know ? sonny : you do n't have to explain . i 'm surprised you came back . carly : you look good . scott : oh , i second that . even your doctors are surprised how well you bounced back from that bullet . i guess practice makes perfect , huh ? carly : scott , what do you want ? scott : well , your husband 's going to be sprung in a couple of hours here from the hospital but i got a nice little six - by - nine cell waiting for you . of course , you might not like it because it 's a bit of a tight squeeze . your brother reminded me about that problem you have with confined spaces . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , it is customary to knock before entering a room . tracy : well , believe me , i do apologize . however , this is your boardroom . it did n't occur to me that you would be making out with -- what is that outfit ? secretary ? call girl ? help me here . sam : uh - huh . jax : what can i do for you , tracy ? tracy : i 'd like to talk with you alone . it 's business . jax : well , if i remember , our business had fallen through . tracy : things change . jax : ok , well , if you have a proposal for us , there 's no reason why sam ca n't hear it . sam : ahem . we 're listening . tracy : ok , well , since little miss what 's - your - pleasure lost the cards and the gambling rights to luke , i went off and in search of a new venture and i happened to find one right under my nose . you see , putting a.j . in charge of e.l.q . is probably the first sign of my father 's encroaching dementia , because a.j . has managed to drive the company right into the ground in a few short months ? so it is ripe for a hostile takeover . i , of course , bring a very unique insider track to the table . however , i need some cash to fund the raid . jax : so what 's in it for me ? tracy : 50 % of the profits and me in charge to make sure that there are plenty . what do you think ? sam : may i say something , please ? jax : by all means . sam : if jax were to agree -- and let me stress this is purely hypothetical -- he would be putting up all the cash and taking all the risks . the only split that makes any sense would be 75/25 in jax 's favor and you do not get anywhere near the c.e.o . 's office . tracy : butt out , hon . why do n't you go off in the corner and file your nails until jax needs your services . jax : tracy , you 're not going to get anywhere with me by insulting sam and i must say that you made a very astute assessment . sam : why , thank you , jax .

[ scene_break ] skye : why would you want to harm lulu ? lorenzo : hmm . a computer tech named spinelli has information which could incriminate me . he needed to be silenced . when my men went to grab him , lulu was there , as well , so they took her without my knowledge . now , that makes her a witness , which meant that she had to be silenced . skye : oh , my god . lorenzo : there was no malice involved . [ lorenzo sighs ] lorenzo : skye , i truly regret that lulu got caught up in this . but the way it works is because she 's not a member of my family , she is expendable . skye : oh . you talk about this like it 's a business transaction , like planning lulu 's murder was just part of your day . lorenzo : you know , for what it 's worth , i 'm just sorry that she got involved . skye : who are you , lorenzo ? what am i supposed to do with this ? lorenzo : well , that 's up to you . but i had to tell you . skye : you say you almost killed lulu . what happened to stop you ? lorenzo : well , jason and sonny helped her to escape , which probably worked to my advantage because i doubt they 're going to go to the police . skye : well , i suppose you get points for honesty . but i have to wonder about your timing . now that you 've shared this information with me , does that mean you have to kill me , too ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you know too much . now alcazar has to -- has to shut your mouth . lulu : spinelli is the one that he wants . sonny : you are a potential witness -- even worse , alcazar knows you 're going to tell skye that he almost shot you . what do you think she 's going to do then ? alcazar 's going to lose his baby daughter ; he 's probably going to try to get her back by force . things are going to get ugly . do you understand what i 'm saying ? lulu : all because i shot my stupid mouth off . sonny : all because -- [ lulu sighs ] sonny : you did not listen . so from now on , you 're going to stay here . you 're not going to talk to anyone until i deal with alcazar . [ door opens ] carly : hey . what 's going on ? sonny : lulu is in serious trouble . carly : ok . sonny : ok , make sure she stays here . do n't let her talk to anyone outside of this house . carly : all right . lulu : i totally blew everything . i did n't mean to . i thought i was doing the right thing , but it all went wrong . carly : ok , look , i 've been there and done that . i know it does n't seem like it now , but everything is going to be ok . all right ? lucky : sonny ? i 'm sorry to bother you . i 'm just following up on jason 's whereabouts . lulu : is that lucky ? carly : lulu , do n't -- do n't do it . [ scene_break ] colleen : this is because my former employers died , but i explained the circumstances -- nikolas : no , no , no , no -- colleen : surrounding those incidents . nikolas : colleen -- colleen , that did not factor into my decision . ok ? i confirmed that all three were accidents . colleen : `` confirmed `` ? you had someone look into my past ? nikolas : colleen , this is strictly about making a change for spencer . you did nothing wrong . colleen : if i offended you , nikolas -- if -- if you thought i was being too intrusive , or -- or being too familiar with you and emily , i 'm sorry ! nikolas : the truth is , emily and i have reconciled . and she 'll probably be moving back in . and i want her and spencer to spend more time together so they can start to bond with each other . colleen : i supposed that 's understandable . nikolas : and , colleen , i appreciate all the care that you 've given my son . ok ? you will receive ample severance and high recommendations . colleen : thank you , nikolas . oh , i 've enjoyed being here . nikolas : and we 've enjoyed having you . and i 'm grateful for all the kindness that you 've shown spencer . colleen : well , i 'm the one who 's grateful . spencer is a special boy , and i 'll miss him very much . nikolas : we 'll miss you , as well . i 'm sorry , if you 'll excuse me , while i go say good night to spencer -- colleen : of course .

[ scene_break ] jax : why are you so surprised ? i mean , you knew that sam would go running straight to jason . you know how much she loves him . alexis : because she 's out on bail . and because i told her what was at stake . jax : you know , sam 's behavior 's been really consistent , right from the start since -- since she fell in love with jason . she 's proven over and over again that she 'll pretty much do anything for him and that includes betraying her own mother 's trust to be with him . ok , you might not approve of that , but as far as sam 's concerned , jason comes first . alexis : well , i was hoping common sense might prevail . jax : look what happened last time you tried to keep them apart . sam slept with your husband . her message was , `` if you mess with me and jason , i 'll take your life apart . `` she 's pretty much succeeded . alexis : why are you saying this to me ? i thought you were on my side . jax : i am on your side , ok ? you 're risking your health and possibly even your life to defend sam . and that -- that is your choice . but i just want to be sure that you 're clear on the truth . ok ? even if you win sam her freedom , that does n't mean she 's going to turn into the sensible , loyal daughter that you want . alexis : i appreciate what you 're saying . i know that you 're trying -- jax : listen , you have expectations -- you have expectations of sam that she will never meet . and she obviously does n't want to try . ok ? that is the reality . you need to face it and then decide if it 's worth the risk you 're taking to defend her . sam : what do you want me to say ? i mean , jax is right , about all of it .

[ scene_break ] skye : technically speaking , i 'm not family . i 'm the woman you got pregnant . the person who gave you lila rae . but now that i 'm a witness , too , like lulu , i guess i 'm expendable . lorenzo : no , you could never be expendable , skye . skye : you could tell our daughter that i died in a car wreck or had some terminal illness . lorenzo : you 're the mother of my baby girl . and every time i look at her , i see your face . you 're a big part of who she is , and lila rae 's going to need you as she grows . i would not deprive her of your love and your strength and your wisdom . and i know that i can be ruthless . but that is not a line i would ever cross , not even to get my own child . skye : is that supposed to make me happy ? am i supposed to forget that you were planning to murder an innocent girl ? lorenzo : skye , i do n't expect you to forgive me . you 're horrified that i was going to kill lulu . you 're horrified that i was going to kill any innocent person , for that matter . i do not blame you . that is the ugly part of my business , which i never wanted you to see or know about . and now that it 's out , i understand there 's no going back . skye : well , if you 're not going to kill me , then you got to know that -- lorenzo : it 's over between us . i know that . and i accept that you 're going to take my daughter . and i 'm never going to be a part of her life . but i 'm not going to hurt you , skye . and i do n't have the strength to stop you . so you should go . skye : i guess i 'm just a little stunned that it 's come to this . lorenzo : you know , if you can think of me kindly in any way , just know that in the end , i put your welfare , and our baby girl 's , ahead of my own . skye : what if i do n't leave ? what if i make you a counteroffer ?

[ scene_break ] lucky : you know , if i 'm going to take on the role of jake and cameron 's father , i guess it 's my responsibility to keep them safe . that means there 's no room for you , so you need to keep your distance . jason : you do n't have to tell me how i need to be . lucky : you know , you kind of been presenting yourself as a man of honor , so i want you to stand there , look me in the eye , and tell me you 're going to stay away from jake -- for good . [ scene_break ] jerry : oh . thank you so much for coming . i was n't sure i 'd be able to nab you on such short notice . alexis : i assume this is about the suspiciously large bank transfer that you mentioned . i want you to know that i found a legal way for you to accept it . jerry : oh , no , no , i 'm sorry . obviously , i did n't make myself clear . i did n't ask to see you as my attorney . alexis : what other possible reason ? jerry : well , i want to take you out to dinner to celebrate the fact that we 're both still alive and well . alexis : apparently , you did n't hear me the first time that i told you that i have no plans on having any kind of personal involvement with you on any level . jerry : oh , yes , yes , i do remember that conversation very well , but that was before i saved your life . alexis : huh .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal is the guardian of many secrets , grand and small , and part of my worth is my ability to keep them . and a note of caution i should n't need to make -- it is unwise to question the practices and procedures of stone cold and mr. corinthos , sir . lulu : i get that , absolutely . i -- i was just curious because i think it 's an interesting dilemma that sonny and jason have . spinelli : how so ? lulu : well , johnny 's being pulled into his father 's business through no fault of his own , and the point i 'm trying to make is that johnny 's landed squarely into the position of enemy to sonny and jason . spinelli : um , why does this matter to you ? lulu : johnny put his life on the line to save me and everyone else from his father at the ball . uh -- but -- but no . hey -- hey , if sonny and jason want to go after him anyway , that 's part of the mob business , right ? i mean , it 's all about threats and -- and territory , and someone like johnny who has grown up in all of that obviously knows the risks . so if he wants to take over anthony 's business and he dies in the process , what 's another dead mobster ? who even cares ? spinelli : the blond one seems to . [ scene_break ] johnny : i 'm not going to spend one minute of my life the way my father did -- as a front so you can continue to run things without showing your pathetic face . trevor : no , you need to show some respect and cut the hostility . look , johnny , my interests are the same as yours . one day you 're going to hold the reins of this organization . all i want is to be the lawyer . johnny : great -- you just got your wish . trevor : you 're not ready for this yet . yesterday , you threw your hands up , turned your back , wanted to walk away , right ? well , there is no learning curve on this job . you screw up , you are going to die , and so will a lot of other people , including me . huh . look , all you got to know is that i 'm personally invested in your success . you be nice , i am going to teach you how to run this organization , and that is the end goal . johnny : yeah , or die trying ? i 'm beginning to wonder who i have to fear the most -- my father 's enemies or his friends ? [ scene_break ] jason : why do you think i never claimed jake as my own ? it was for his protection . lucky : then you should n't have any problem telling me what i need to hear . jason : all i want is what 's best for my son -- that 's why i 'm willing to walk away . but if anything changes , if you go back on drugs , you start acting reckless again , i will take jake right out of your arms . are we clear on that ? i 'll stay away .

[ robin sighs ] kelly : i hope you 're not blaming yourself for leyla getting hammered . it happens to the best of us -- for whatever reason . robin : i was just thinking that leyla and i are n't that different . we 're both cutting ourselves off from love . elizabeth : that 's not true . you want a baby . robin : i want a life . the question is , am i giving up too much to get it ? [ scene_break ] alexis : according to you , you save my life every day . so why should i feel particularly indebted to you this time ? jerry : well , you know , i do n't really expect you to be , but a little gratitude would be appreciated , but i -- i guess it would n't fit your pattern , would it ? alexis : `` my pattern `` ? jerry : oh , come on , you consistently find ways to discount my rather heroic efforts on your behalf -- i 'll give you an example . alexis : hmm . jerry : you insist on saying that you nearly fainted that day on the wildflower patch at wyndemere , even though your daughter kristina was there as a witness . alexis : she 's 6 . jerry : oh , come on , you passed out cold . alexis : i was momentarily lightheaded . jerry : `` lightheaded `` ? i had to carry you away . alexis : well , i never asked you to . jerry : you were unconscious . you also neglected to express any thanks on my attempt at getting trevor lansing out of town and away from your family , but it does n't matter . this time there 's no room for argument . i mean , there 's a raging storm , there 's not one , but two insane killers running around the halls of wyndemere , and one extremely inflamed appendix . and had it not been for me , your proverbial goose would 've been cooked , as you yanks say . alexis : hmm . you know , technically , i could argue that it was your brother that saved me . jerry : oh , come on , jax could never have done the crossing without me . alexis : that 's quite a hero complex you 're lugging around there . jerry : and matched only by your persecution complex , which makes us perfect dinner companions . you see ? you see ? you like me . why are you trying to be so contrary ? alexis : oh , i 'm not trying . i am contrary when it comes to you , because i -- i told you , and i -- i will tell you again , so you need to retain the fact . i do n't play with fire -- been there , done that . go burn someone else . jerry : uh - huh . too bad . alexis : not really . [ scene_break ] lulu : you think that i have feelings for johnny . spinelli : well , sadly , it would appear to be so . lulu : i feel sorry for him -- sort of . i -- i guess that i identified with him for a moment , until i realized that johnny is exactly where he wants to be . i mean , johnny was his father 's captor once upon a time , but now those days are long gone -- he actually wants to be a mobster . he made that choice , so let him . and -- and i -- i hope he 's happy . and if he dies -- well , sucks to be him . spinelli : methinks the lady doth protest too much . lulu : what is that supposed to mean ? spinelli : uh -- just a random quote from the bard . lulu : huh -- the jackal never does anything randomly . [ lulu gasps ] lulu : oh , well , look who 's here . spinelli : now it is the autumn of my discontent . lulu : i am so happy to see you . logan : really ? lulu : yeah . hey , why do n't you join us and tell us about your day ? spinelli : huh -- i do n't need to be here for this .

[ laughter ] kelly : i mean , not only did emily lick , slam , and suck with the rest of us , but she taught us a few things about letting our hair down . robin : it 's hard to believe that we 'll never hear her laugh again . elizabeth : i really miss her . lainey : oh -- toast . all : oh , yeah . robin : okay -- kelly : okay -- thank you . robin : to emily . all : to emily . [ scene_break ] logan : so , how you holding up ? lulu : i 'm trying not to make waves for once . between nikolas grieving over emily and my dad 's heart condition and lucky 's messy divorce , i am resolved to be the sister and daughter who does not cause any more problems . logan : well , that 's a pretty selfless attitude , as long as it 's not based on guilt . lulu : meaning ? logan : lulu , you were pretty torn up , you know , at emily 's funeral . i hope these past couple of days you 've had off have given you time to realize that what happened at wyndemere -- it had nothing to do with you -- that was on johnny . lulu : well , you do n't have to worry . i 'm supporting my family because i want to . logan : yes , well , you need support , too , and that 's where i come in . come here . scott : ahem . hey -- sorry , sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt your kissing . i want to talk to you -- about your future .

[ scene_break ] scott : alexis , just so you know , i 'll be questioning your client in the emily quartermaine murder . alexis : and which client is that ? scott : jerry jacks -- i 'm calling him in as a suspect . alexis : i thought the police were under the assumption that anthony zacchara killed emily . scott : well , you know , that evidence against him was sketchy at best , and then a tipster weighed in , which rode jerry right on to the murder . alexis : i think it might 've been a little difficult for jerry to strangle emily while he was bleeding internally and had a collapsed lung . scott : well , you know how those psychopaths are -- they do n't let a little physical discomfort stop them from anything . besides , there 's bad blood between nikolas and emily and jerry . alexis : hmm . you 're wasting my time again . scott : oh , no , maybe i 'm not wasting your time . if i was you , i would remove myself from this case , because nikolas -- he is your nephew . alexis : well , as it turns out , jerry jacks actually saved a few lives that night . so in all fairness , i 'm not going to let a worm like you railroad him .

[ laughs ] molly : seriously ? t.j. : yeah , it was awesome . molly : oh , my god ! i hate you . t.j. : no , you do n't . molly : you 're right . i do n't . t.j. : look , i 'm telling you , molly , once this book gets published , you 're gon na be famous . molly : mr. manning never got back to me , which means he probably hated it . starr : why are you looking at me like that ? todd : why am i looking at you like what , starr ? starr : you 're looking at me like you 're all wounded . todd : i am wounded it 's not enough that carly thinks that i might have killed delgado , but you think so , too ? starr : and you 're so surprised . after you made tomás disappear once before ? todd : okay , well , look how that turned out . starr : and you gave tea a baby that was n't hers . todd : you 're changing the subject , that 's not fair . but just so we 're clear , once again , i had the best of intentions . starr : as you always do . so , what was it ? what was your reasoning this time ? did you get rid of tomás to save mom from making another huge mistake ? todd : the huge mistake would have been to marry that slug . look -- i did n't have anything to do with tomás ' disappearance , if that 's even really his name . you know , skye chandler and carly , they think that he 's somebody named lorenzo alcazar . starr : and mom does n't believe that . todd : no , of course not . because then she 'd have to admit that she was wrong all along . okay , you know what ? who cares ? the loser 's gone . let 's just call it an early christmas present . starr : the wedding is not off . it is postponed until mom , tea , or skye find tomás or until he 's done with his cia assignment . todd : you 're being ridiculous . cut it out . your mom is too smart . she 's gon na figure it out . starr : oh , no . todd : [ grunts ] `` oh , no `` what ? starr : you honestly think you 're going to get mom back . todd : it 's that obvious ? connie : i do n't think you understand what happened to me , johnny . i was tied up , i was gagged , interrogated . sonny brutalized me . johnny : you do n't look any worse for wear . connie : emotional scars ! what , meanwhile , you 're just what -- going about your business ? johnny : yeah , pretty much . connie : no concern . nothing . johnny : i was concerned . i was concerned that you would come back . oh , by the way , while you were gone , nobody called for you , nobody came around looking for you , nobody cares about you , connie . connie : you 're some husband , hoping his wife ends up in a ditch somewhere . johnny : yeah , ditch , harbor , pine barrens -- as long as i can find my way back to carly . carly : you kidnapped connie ? sonny : just for a few days . carly : oh , well -- what the hell were you thinking ? sonny : i wanted to get my fiancée back . i thought , if i can get connie alone with a psychiatrist that he could get through to kate . carly : how 'd that work out ? sonny : not very good , 'cause she head - butted the guy . i do n't know how , 'cause she was tied up to a chair . carly : you had her tied up , and michael walked in ? sonny : no , when michael walked in , the psychiatrist had left . it was just me and connie . i was very close , carly , to getting through . carly : and so what -- michael walked in and ruined all this for you ? sonny : he just mis -- misread the whole situation . carly : the situation is , you were holding a woman against her will . you 're lucky you 're not in jail , sonny . sonny : michael threatened to turn me in . carly : why did n't he ? sonny : because he -- he did n't want to feel what he did before when you called the cops on a.j . he did n't want to do the same thing . carly : okay . you realize you just played right into a.j . 's hands , right ? he paints himself as the victim , he tells michael that i 'm the liar , you 're the vicious thug who kidnaps people and holds them against their will and threatens them . you just proved to michael you 're exactly who a.j . says you are . sonny : i was just trying to help kate , and i did n't know that michael was gon na walk in . carly : he did walk in , sonny ! he walked in . and i 'll give you one guess to where he 's headed . a.j . : i assume we 're talking about sonny . so what 'd he do ? michael : details are n't important . but you 're right about him using force to get what he wants . i was this close to turning him in . a.j . : i 'm sorry . michael : come on . you do n't care if he goes to prison . a.j . : michael , what i care about is your happiness , so for what it 's worth -- and i ca n't believe i 'm saying this -- i hope you and sonny work it out . michael : thanks . [ door opens ] diane : hi , hi . i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . the now rich and still formidable alice let me in . a.j . : all right . so let 's hear it . am i heading to prison ? anna : faison is dead . he 's been dead for years , robert . robert : that 's what we all thought about this guy . but think about this . there were two explosions . we all survived one of them . anna : yeah , barely . it took me years to recover . robert : faison survived the port charles explosion , then spent the rest of the time assuming lavery 's identity . faison : you ca n't be serious about this . robert : i 've never been more serious in my life . look , i did n't plan on bringing this to you yet until i had proof without a doubt . that 's why i 'm here . faison : illegally , i might add . robert : getting evidence . anna : you bring all this to me , you invoke a man who nearly destroyed our lives , who took us away from robin when she needed us , and you do n't have anything to back it up ? robert : i have plenty to back it up . and i can prove that this man is faison . starr : i know you , and you are envisioning this magical reunion with mom , and it 's not gon na happen . todd : i 'm not envisioning anything . starr : she is going to get back together with tomás . she loves him . todd : no , she loves who she thinks he is . [ chuckles ] starr : and say if he is tomás . they could be married in a couple of weeks or days . todd : or not at all . starr : dad , look at me right now . i do n't want you to do this to yourself . you 're gon na get hurt again . todd : oh , i get it . aww . starr : what are you -- what ? todd : that 's sweet . you 're not really worried about me . i get it . blair talked to you , she asked you to get me to back off just a little bit . starr : mom is so worried about tomás , she has n't thought about you for one second . todd : wow . do n't sugarcoat it . starr : [ scoffs ] that does remind me -- i actually came to talk to you about something else . todd : yeah ? starr : how much did you love molly 's manuscript ? todd : molly ? starr : yes . molly davis , dad . i gave you her novel to read . todd : right . yeah , um , i did n't get to it . johnny : oh , did i hurt your feelings ? connie : why are you being so hateful ? i thought we came to some kind of truce . johnny : `` truce . `` i do n't want a truce . i want out . i want out of this life , out of this marriage . and for one blissful second , i thought for sure that you were gone . i thought that i had gotten my wish . why could n't you have just stayed gone ? connie : you keep talking , johnny boy . i 'll do some talking of my own . johnny : oh , here come the threats . connie : no threats . just the facts . i did not kill starr manning 's family . you did . so you better lay off of me , or i 'm gon na tell everybody the truth sonny : i did n't think it was possible . michael said a.j . was right about me ? carly : no . sonny : he came in , he sees connie tied up , and he does n't understand . carly : you kidnapped someone . you 're surprised he 's shocked ? he 's probably telling a.j . all about it right now . sonny : i will talk to michael . carly : a.j . 's not an idiot ! he 's gon na use this to turn michael against us . was it worth it ? trying to get connie to give up kate ? does it justify losing your son ? a.j . : you were with the d.a . for a long time . diane : thank you . well , it was quite the list of charges we had trudge through . a.j . : and ? diane : it helps that most of your key witnesses are now deceased -- for instance , your father , whom you almost killed . a.j . : yeah , i know . i was there . diane : your brother , who ... michael : we do n't know if jason 's gone yet . diane : is presumably dead . a.j . : so , were you able to get the attempted - murder charges dropped ? diane : it 's a work in progress . but nothing i am not able to handle . the kidnapping charges , however -- that 's quite the different story . michael : look , i 'm -- i 'm the one he kidnapped . what if i do n't testify ? a.j . : wait a second . michael , you 'd be willing to do that for me ? michael : if i do n't testify , they do n't have a case , do they . diane : except you were n't the only victim . a.j . conspired with faith rosco to also take morgan and kristina . and i will bet every shoe in my closet that sonny and alexis and carly have neither forgiven nor forgotten . michael : the d.a . does n't want to go to trial . they have to put me on the stand . i 'm the only one old enough to testify about the kidnapping because morgan and kristina were too young . so ca n't we use that as leverage for some kind of a deal ? diane : our best option is to give the d.a . something that they really want in exchange . a.j . : my freedom . for what ? diane : for someone who 's a bigger criminal than you could ever hope to be . faison : you 're not gon na entertain this lunacy . robert : you getting nervous ? anna : what is the proof that you 've got , robert ? robert : i 've got an eyewitness account -- one olivia falconeri . faison : oh , that 's the woman who could n't stop staring at me the other night . robert : she saw you at the haunted star sporting faison 's face . faison : [ scoffs ] that 's absurd . anna : she was injected with lsd . she 's been hallucinating . robert : then talk to one of your own detectives . anna : yeah , well , dante is her son . robert : and he 'll back me up . her visions are absolutely reliable , including this one . anna : she does n't even know what faison looks like . robert : true . and she was unsettled by the whole thing , so she sat down and had a talk to lulu . faison : who shockingly mentioned it to you . what a blatant setup this is . robert : i had olivia talk to elizabeth webber , describe this face perfectly , and she sketched it . anna : she 's not a professional sketch artist . robert : close enough . this is the face that olivia described . now tell me you do n't recognize that person . starr : you promised you would read molly 's manuscript . todd : yeah , because you blackmailed me . let me tell you something , starr -- that is a slippery slope . starr : i do n't know what you 're talking about . todd : you do n't know -- come on . `` sam is molly 's sister -- baby sister . you remember sam 's baby ? `` starr : oh , my god . you did n't read it because you were trying to get back at me ? todd : no , no , i tried to read it . i read a couple pages , and then carly barged in , started all this nonsense about alcazar -- starr : okay , fine . so you got distracted . but you can read it right now . todd : what -- `` now `` right now ? starr : yes . i will stand over you and watch if i have to . todd : fine . starr : thank you . todd : weird . thought it was on my desk . starr : cleaners better have moved it . todd : cleaners know better than to touch my stuff . i 'd cut off their fingers . starr : dad , you ca n't just -- that skank . todd : you need to be a little bit more specific . starr : connie ! your new little officemate . i bet you she took off with molly 's novel . todd : she does have kind of a problem with boundaries . starr : funny you did n't threaten to cut off her fingers . todd : okay , i 'll tell you what . connie does n't give you her book back , i 'll cut off her fingers . starr : do n't bother . todd : where you going ? starr : you always said , if you want something done right , do it yourself , right ? todd : no , i always say , if you do n't feel like doing something , then you just pay somebody else to do it for you . starr : and miss the opportunity to rip that baby killer a new one ? never . todd : that 's my girl . t.j. : somebody would have to be a total robot not to like your book , all right ? and i bet mr. manning was as into it as i was . molly : really ? t.j. : read it three times . molly : get out . t.j. : and i only have a couple of notes . molly : notes ? t.j. : yeah , you know , like suggestions -- small ones . you can barely see them . molly : fine . give me your notes , and i 'll take them into consideration . but no promises . deal ? t.j. : deal . okay . what the -- molly : oh , my god . both : it 's gone . connie : so come on , johnny . hmm ? you gon na show me some respect ? or you gon na finally let me blab about the baby that you killed and let starr spit in your face ? johnny : starr already hates me . no use keeping that secret anyway . connie : all right , come on , then , johnny . huh ? put your money where your mouth is . let 's do this . come on ! i 'm sure someone -- starr -- would love to hear what you have to say . [ knock on door ] starr : connie ? are you in there ? it 's starr manning . open up . connie : oh . speak of the devil . oh , wait . that would be you . sonny : do you really want to do this here ? carly : no , i do n't want to do this . i do n't want to do this at all . we 're losing him , sonny . after everything we did to ensure that it would n't happen , we 're losing michael . sonny : we do n't know that . carly : we 're already halfway there and probably further now after your latest stunt . sonny : well , i 'm not gon na apologize for trying to get back the woman i love . michael was not part of that equation . carly : no , obviously , he was n't . sonny : you 're not mad at me , right ? carly : no . no , i 'm scared , sonny . i 'm scared . and i feel really alone because i do n't know how to do this . jason 's gone , and i do n't have anyone to help me fix this , and i feel like i 'm just slipping away here . sonny : i know , i know . i know what you feel . a.j . : so my options are pretty much spend the rest of my life in prison or turn rat . what do i have to do ? i either provide evidence or offer information or testimony or something to the d.a . about someone who 's a better get than i am . michael : a.j . 's been in hiding for years . who would even know anymore ? diane : may i speak freely in present company ? a.j . : i have no secrets in front of my son . diane : when your father was among the living , he was -- how shall i put this tactfully ? a.j . : a shady , irresponsible criminal . diane : yes . what he said . exactly . but by no means the worst , which is good for us , because if we hope to escape a life sentence , we 're gon na need some heavy leverage . michael : someone worse than a.j . diane : way worse . someone who 's crimes are so heinous , they make your father 's pale in comparison . robert : this is who olivia saw -- this man with faison 's face . anna : well , elizabeth knew him , so maybe she just did it subconsciously . robert : no . i was there . elizabeth followed olivia 's instructions to the letter . there was no prompting . faison : are you sure there was no prompting ? after all , faison 's always been your obsession . robert : anna was faison 's obsession . your obsession . anna : just get on with it , robert . robert : when olivia saw faison , he was smoking one of those signature cigarillos of his . well , when i saw duke the other night -- this is what he left behind . you should quit . i mean , this really will kill you . anna : i thought you said you smoked cigarettes . faison : so ? anna : that 's not a cigarette . faison : oh , my god , anna . you 're not actually believing this , are you ? you think i am faison ? a.j . : i 've got someone . michael : really ? a.j . : yeah . this guy 's a -- he makes me look like a saint . diane : well , that remains to be seen , and , of course , i will need details and corroborating evidence . michael : who is he ? a.j . : his name 's faison . sonny : i should 've handled this thing with connie better . i should n't have let michael get anywhere near it . carly : it 's all new territory for all of us . you know , we 're just -- trying to find our way . sonny : so is michael , i guess . carly : i know . that 's what just hurts me the most is i know he 's confused , pulled in so many different directions , and i just want to hug him and help him -- and he wo n't let me . sonny : we 're gon na get him back . carly : we got to do it together , all right ? we do . i know that we have our differences , but we have to be a united front for michael . sonny : for michael . carly : okay . sonny : hey , listen . i am not gon na give up on michael . but i 'm not gon na give up on kate , either . connie : well , come on in . mi casa es su casa . starr : i certainly hope not . connie : ooh . all right , well , i 'm gon na get out of your hair so you and johnny can have a chat . starr : i did n't come here to chat -- with you or with johnny . connie : well , then what do you want , starr ? starr : the manuscript you stole from my father . molly : i must have moved it to a different folder . please , please do n't let it be gone . t.j. : i just do n't get it . a book ca n't just disappear , and i know i put it in my bag . molly : so what ? t.j. , yours was just a copy . the original file is gone ! t.j. : look , just do n't panic , whatever you do . molly : no , i feel like i 'm gon na throw up . t.j. : oh , gosh . let me search it for you . let 's see , let 's see . uh - oh . molly : what ? i think you downloaded something over it . molly : oh , my god ! i did ! and then i saved it ! i was in a rush ! i did n't realize ! can you recover it ? t.j. : i do n't think so . molly : you do n't think so ? t.j. : it 's an overwrite , molly . it 's a done deal . molly : no , no , no ! this is n't happening ! this ca n't be happening ! all that work ? ! t.j. : chill , chill . it 's got to be somewhere . it 's got to be somewhere . molly : t.j. , that is 387 pages down the drain . t.j. : my copy could still turn up . molly : and if it does n't ? t.j. : the copy you gave mr. manning . it must be there , so we can just go to his office and get it . connie : are you accusing me of something ? starr : yes -- stealing a manuscript . connie : a what ? starr : a book -- lots of pages with words on them . connie : oh , yeah . i do n't know anything about that . sorry , ca n't help you , kid . johnny : do n't call her `` kid . `` starr : do n't defend me , johnny . connie : well , looks like you two have some issues to work out . starr : we have nothing to talk about . connie : oh . oh , maybe you do . i think johnny does . so you 're gon na want to stick around , there , kid . you 're not gon na want to miss this one . starr : you have 30 seconds . johnny : connie 's blackmailing me . carly : any word yet ? todd : from the three amigas ? no . not surprised . they 're never gon na find tomás . carly : why ? todd : what do you mean `` why `` ? carly : are you kidding me ? you swore up and down you did n't do this . you made tomás disappear ? todd : wow . i am accustomed to their entire world thinking the worst of me , but i thought that you were different . carly : i am , okay ? you know , i -- i believed you about the baby switch . hell , i even defended you to sam . todd : oh , gee , thanks for that . carly : this is different . this is where blair 's concerned . i believe you would do anything to make her love you again , including getting rid of the competition . todd : i 've tried that before . did n't work . i think i 'm someone who will learn from his mistakes . carly : okay . todd : what , you do n't believe me ? carly : i believe you about tomás . i think you 're lying about blair . despite what you said to me last night , you believe that you guys should be back together , and with tomás out of the way , blair is gon na run in slow motion right back into your arms . todd : that 's silly . it is . do you have any idea how hard it is to run in slow motion ? carly : i 'm gon na take that as yes . todd : [ clears throat ] carly : there 's an upside , you know . we did n't sleep together . i guess i -- dodged a bullet there . diane : okay , start at the beginning . a.j . : when i left port charles , i was in real bad shape . i had a broken back and a bunch of other injuries . my mom put me in a clinic in switzerland . i stayed there for almost a year . diane : i 'm sorry , my fault . speed it up . a.j . : okay . when i got better , i would start to walk around , you know , on the hallway floor . so one day , i 'm walking around , and i get lost . i wind up in this restricted area . but i see my doctor , so i figure , `` okay , i 'm gon na go over and just ask for directions , `` but she 's talking to this guy . and i do n't know -- there was just -- there was something about his voice . i just -- it resonated with me , like i recognized it , and so i decided to kind of hold back and see who he was , and when i did -- it was faison , and i could n't believe it . diane : you are absolutely positive . a.j . : yeah , he was wearing the same scrubs that they gave us all to wear , but he is a really distinct - looking guy . trust me . it was him . diane : did he see you ? a.j . : no . diane : and we are the only two people that you have told this to . a.j . : yeah , i was -- i was gon na go to the police , but -- but it would have meant that i would have had to turn myself in . okay , what do you want to hear ? i was selfish . i -- i know how dangerous the guy is . michael : so if this faison guy is as wanted as you say he is , he could be your ticket to freedom ? faison : faison is dead and gone , anna . anna : well , his body was never found . faison : then how do we make the jump to he stole my face ? robert : duke 's face . anna : no , i 'm not making any jumps . i 'm just stating a fact . faison : well , then allow me to play . the fact is , he 's coming between you and i again , the same thing that he 's always done . take a look at me . do i look like faison ? robert : you still got access to all those contacts , all those good plastic surgeons ? faison : so ? i mean , if what you say is true , to what end ? robert : to get anna . now she hated you , but she loved lavery , so you arranged to take his place . and it was n't a bad plan . you almost got away with it , up until now . tell him , anna . diane : as lovely as it might be to hand the authorities faison 's head on a silver platter , we 're going to need the documentation to back it up . how many years ago was this ? a.j . : okay , it was a while ago , but he was still a patient when i left . diane : yes , but it 's unlikely that he 'd be there now . a.j . : there 's something else , too . he , um -- he had a relationship with my doctor . diane : a romantic relationship ? a.j . : no , no , it was n't like that . it was like a -- more like a business relationship . and he was n't very nice to her . diane : i do n't think faison was nice to anyone . michael : if a.j . turns faison in , would it be enough to get his charges dropped ? diane : provided that the authorities believe a.j . 's story , which , considering that it 's you , is going to be rather a hard sell . unless -- do you have proof that you saw faison alive ? a.j . : as a matter of fact -- i do . faison : what is next ? okay , stalking , we got paranoia , we got breaking and entering , we got all these baseless theories that you keep -- robert : not baseless . faison : okay , so you got proof . what proof do you have ? you found a cigarillo on the pier , got the word of some drug - addled woman . lock me up . what 's the matter ? you do n't have a badge anymore ? robert : you know , you 're right . this could be a good time to bring the agency in , or perhaps you 'd prefer interpol . anna : do n't embarrass yourself , robert . faison : do we agree that this is madness ? robert : anna , please , you 've got to trust me on this one . anna : i miss robin , too . i know -- i understand the desperate search to find something -- anything -- to hold on to . but resurrecting a man that we both despise is not gon na bring our daughter back . robert : i 'm not resurrecting him . he 's standing right here . anna : stop it . robert : anna -- anna : do you know how that sounds ? do you know ? robert : anna , you 've been compromised . he 's messing with your mind . please . please support me on this . anna : i ca n't do this . i ca n't . i 'm sorry , robert , i -- this is commissioner devane . i want to report a b & e. ; todd : i think you just compared not having sex -- with dodging a bullet . i get that right ? carly : am i wrong ? whatever . i mean , come on . look , if we would have had sex that night , it would have complicated things for you and blair , and now you guys get to be together . i mean , if she stops hating you . so everything 's great for you . todd : carly -- hey , carly . carly : what ? what ? todd : why -- why are you saying all of this ? carly : i 'm just saying that you were gon na use me to have someone to fall back on , and i was right , but it 's okay . todd : why are you bringing all of this up now ? carly : i do n't know . todd : you do n't know ? carly : i do n't know . todd : you do n't know . carly : what do i mean to you ? johnny : feels good to say that out loud . starr : so that 's why you married connie ? because she was blackmailing you ? with what ? johnny : starr , just listen to me for a second . i did n't mean to hurt you any more than you already were . then i went and i trashed your career , and you had this gift . you could sing , and it kills me to see it go to waste . starr : you 'll get over it . i did . johnny : no , you did n't . singing meant everything to you . starr : my family meant everything to me . the reason i could n't work with you anymore is because you married their murderer . johnny : i did n't want this . i did not want this marriage , this life . i did n't want to lose carly , and i -- i did n't want to lose your friendship . i had no choice . starr : you have a choice right now . so make it . come on . you can either choose to live your life miserably or tell me what connie has over you . sonny : michael , it 's me . listen , i just want to talk to you about what happened with connie . can you call me back ? thanks . connie : [ gasps ] get -- stay away from me or i 'm calling the cops . sonny : relax , connie . connie : what , are you waiting for me here ? i 've got security all over this joint . sonny : no , i was actually here for something else . but i 'm glad that -- connie : do n't come near me . sonny : i 'm not gon na hurt you . okay ? exact opposite . connie : should n't you be doing damage control with michael ? sonny : i just wanted to hear how it went with johnny . did he miss you ? was he happy to see you ? connie : yeah , he was fine . i had to fight him off to get to the office . sonny : yeah ? what work is more important than having a reunion with your husband ? connie : none of your business . sonny : well , i just want to make it my business because of what happened , you know , in the warehouse . connie : yeah , when you hogtied me to the chair . sonny : i 'm sorry about what joe did to you . i - i 'm sorry that i could n't stop it . and i want to make it up to you . connie : you -- you want to make it up to me ? what -- what -- what is this ? sonny : i just want to have a conversation . you and me . connie : you want to hear about my work ? sonny : yeah , if you want to tell me . connie : all right . i 'm writing a novel . a romantic one . sonny : oh , really ? connie : yeah , really . sonny : you know what i think about that ? you would n't need to write a romantic novel if you were being romanced the right way . johnny 's not doing it for you , is he ? do you miss it ? huh ? come on , tell me . do you miss being with a man instead of a boy ? 'cause i can help you out . good - bye , dry skin . sonny : um , you can go ahead and , uh -- go to work now . but if you change your mind , give me a call . cause , my number 's right here , see ? just in case you forgot . bye , connie . johnny : connie did n't want to be sent to shadybrook . starr : that explains why she would want to marry you . that does n't explain why you agreed to it . johnny : because she 'd turn me in . starr : for what ? what did you do ? johnny , what could be worse than what you 're doing right now ? letting a woman , who is not even real , just free to roam the streets after she killed a child . look at yourself , johnny . you have lost everyone that you love , that you care about . what kind of life is that ? johnny : it 's not at all . starr : then why are you letting it go on ? what does connie have over you ? todd : you 're asking me what you mean to me . you 're my friend . the only friend i 've ever had . that is something between us , right ? and i was hoping -- i -- i am hoping . carly : what 're you hoping for ? you know what ? you do n't have to answer -- todd : no , hold on a -- hey , hey . whoa , hold on . wait . carly , carly -- hey ! carly ! carly : i 'm just really glad that i did n't sleep with you . t.j. : um , mr. manning ? todd : [ clears throat ] yeah ? what ? who are you ? molly : i 'm molly -- todd : i know who you are . who are you ? t.j. : i 'm molly 's boyfriend . we need her manuscript back . todd : no . i ca n't do that . t.j. : why not ? todd : because it 's gone . t.j. : what do you mean it 's gone ? todd : i mean it 's not here ! that 's what i mean . t.j. : where is it ? todd : i do n't know . ask -- ask her . robert : anna , you got to trust me here . your safety depends on it . anna : i 'm sorry , robert . just take him away , please . robert : the guy you 're trusting -- the guy you 're trusting is faison ! faison : are you all right ? anna : yeah . i think so . faison : thank you . a.j . : my mother gave me this untraceable cell so that we could communicate . it 's one of the few things i managed not to lose . diane : you managed to secretly snap a photo of faison ? a.j . : yeah . well after when he was supposed to have died . now , please tell me that 's gon na be enough for the d.a . diane : you have exposed an international criminal . you have proven that he is alive and still at large . you offer the authorities the ability to apprehend faison , and those kidnapping charges are going to disappear faster than you can say `` fashion week . `` faison : that could n't have been easy for you . anna : yeah , it had to happen . faison : you know , grief is such a terrible thing , anna . i think robert may need a psychiatrist more than he needs a lawyer . anna : i think he 'd prefer to spend 20 years in a turkish prison . faison : thank you . anna : you already said that . faison : it 's worth repeating . i mean -- means so much to me that you believe in me . my anna .

[ scene_break ] shawn : hey , i got your message . sonny : i want eyes on this guy around the clock . i want to know everything there is to know ... about carlos rivera . [ scene_break ] dr. dosky : drake ... are n't you supposed to be on your honeymoon ? [ scene_break ] robin : ugh . anna : hi . felicia get emma off to school ? robin : she did . i rode down in the elevator with her . they 're off . anna : good for children to get back to their routines , you know . robin : even when their mothers come back from the dead ? anna : [ chuckles ] especially then . yeah . she needs to know that you 're here and you 're alive and that she does n't have to guard over you , shackle herself to your leg , so you do n't fly back off to heaven . you know . robin : i know it 's the best thing to reassure her , make her feel safe , but , honestly , if it were up to me , i would spend the entire day in bed cuddling with her . anna : well , we get to pick her up in five hours , so ... robin : right . anna : are you okay , sweetheart ? robin : it would also be an incredible distraction from the fact that ... my husband is not with me . [ scene_break ] dr. dosky : what happened ? bride wise up and leave you for a real man ? [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] carlos : buenos días , querida . sabrina : carlos ? oh , my god . what happened last night ? what did we do ? [ scene_break ] anna : yeah , i guess the reunion did n't go quite as you imagined with patrick , did it ? robin : i mean , i had been dreaming about the day that i got home the second i realized i had been kidnapped . i knew exactly how it would go . i would go to the house , and patrick and emma would be there waiting for me , and they would throw their arms around me . but it 's like you said at the church yesterday . that was the fantasy that kept me alive and helped me to survive and helped me to get hope . but ... now that i 'm home -- anna : you have to let go of the fantasy . you do . you have to concentrate on reality , as painful as that is . their lives did n't stop . you know ? robin : mom , i did n't want their lives to stop . i mean , i would have hated it if patrick and emma were sitting there in a dark house , staring at my picture for the last two years . anna : you just want things to go back to normal . robin : well , that was the dream . anna : right . the dream that jerry woke me up from the second he showed me the dvd of the nurses ' ball and i learned about a person named sabrina santiago . [ scene_break ] patrick : change of plans . dr. dosky : so no wedding ? felix : dr. dosky , has epiphany found you ? 'cause she 's on the warpath -- something about improper use of the nurses ' station computers . i 'd make myself scarce if i were you . dr. dosky : dubois , i owe you one . felix : we have to talk . patrick : felix , i ca n't right now . felix : we all feel your pain , but that does n't change the fact that sabrina 's my best friend -- patrick : i understand that i hurt her . i apologize for that . felix : look , i get it . your -- your wife came back -- patrick : right . will you cut me some slack now ? felix : listen to me ! patrick : what ? ! felix : sabrina 's missing ! [ scene_break ] sabrina : turn around ! carlos : i - i thought you could use these . sabrina : oh , my god ! carlos : unless you want to put your wedding dress back on . sabrina : how did i get here ? carlos : you do n't remember ? sabrina : if i remembered , do you think i 'd be asking you right now ? [ sighs ] my mind 's just a blank . except for the pounding . carlos : that 's probably 'cause of the tequila . sabrina : i was drinking tequila ? carlos : oh , yeah . sabrina : oh , my god . carlos : a lot of it . but you had a good reason . when we met up at the docks , you were in a real bad way . sabrina : [ sobs ] [ crying ] carlos : it 's okay . you 're okay . do n't you remember ? you 'd just come from your wedding , where patrick 's not - so - dead wife decided to show up . you asked me to take you somewhere where no one could find you . sabrina : so you brought me here to your bachelor pad . carlos : it 's a sublet . and you wanted privacy . sabrina : privacy ? carlos : it 's the only place in this strange city i knew no one would disturb us . sabrina : did we sleep together ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , you had a run - in with carlos the night of the gallery show , right ? what can you tell me about him ? shawn : he 's just a punk . big ego with a gun . sonny : you can handle him ? shawn : come on , now . all right , so what you got in mind ? sonny : julian is , uh , hiding behind danny . ava 's shacked up with my son . these jeromes , they think they 're untouchable . now , they think that we ca n't get to them , right ? maybe that 's true . but we can get to them through other people . shawn : are you saying you want me to get rid of carlos rivera ? [ scene_break ] mac : maxie , when you get this , give me a call . went straight to voicemail . ellie : maybe she turned her phone off after last night . mac : what happened last night ? ellie : well , uh , damian has moved in with sam morgan , who 's graciously offered to help with the baby , and last night , i was over there helping , and i was getting ready to head over to patrick and sabrina 's wedding when suddenly maxie showed up . mac : at sam 's ? ellie : yeah . she had a gift for the baby , and she wanted to spend some time with her . but damian asked her to leave . mac : and how did she take it ? ellie : well , she refused , so damian told her that he 'd have to call the police if she did n't leave . [ sighs ] i - i guess he had no choice , you know . he had to turn her away . [ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm sure you 've been following along from your place in heaven , right , georgie ? instead of an eternity of bliss , you 're probably appalled . just when we all thought that i could n't screw up my life any more , i go and do it . and not just myself . i put dante and lulu through hell and spinelli ... and , worst of all , our little girl . and now i ca n't even see my daughter or i will go to jail . kind of ca n't get any worse than this . i 've -- i 've been cut off from seeing my daughter . if i ca n't be a mother to my child , what am i supposed to do ? work for some stupid fashion magazine ? there 's no meaning in that . there 's no -- no meaning in anything if i ca n't be with my daughter . everybody says that the -- the judge is gon na revisit the court case in six months . might as well be six years . no amount of time is going to change all the ways that i 've screwed up and all the lies that i 've told . and even if it did , i ca n't just sit around and wait for a judge to have a change of heart . i need my daughter now . georgie ... it 's like ... [ sniffles ] ... without my daughter , there 's nothing . i 'm nothing . what 's the point of even being here ? [ sniffles ] so ... i might as well not be here at all . [ scene_break ] anna : you 've been psychologically tortured for nearly two years . you can not blame yourself for not anticipating this . robin : everyone thought i was dead , including patrick . so what did i expect him to do , become a monk ? anna : you did what any normal person would do . you clung to the truth , which is that people here loved you and that we would be overjoyed if you came back . robin : sure , patrick is happy that i 'm alive , mom , but that does n't change the fact that he 's made other commitments . anna : i 'm not minimizing the fallout . will there be adjustments ? yes , of course . will there be heartache ? maybe . but none of that 's on you . that is all faison . all of it . robin : i do n't know . before faison even got his hands on me , when i thought that my hiv meds were failing and that there was a chance i could die , i left a dvd for patrick in which i told him to move on , to find someone else to spend his life with , not only for himself but for emma 's sake . so how can i blame him for doing just that ? anna : nobody 's blaming anyone here . we 're just feeling our way through . come on . robin : mom , when i got to this chapel , i got there at the very beginning of the ceremony , and i saw the entire thing . and i - i could n't believe what i was seeing . when i had left that dvd for patrick , and i told him to move on because i thought i was gon na die , it was just -- it was an idea . it was a suggestion . i did n't actually think that there would be a living , breathing human being that would come into my family and take my place . i mean , he did exactly what i told him to do . he found someone to love . he fell in love with her , and she fell in love with him , too . anna : oh , god . [ scene_break ] patrick : wait , w - what are you talking about ? sabrina 's missing ? since when ? felix : last night . patrick : but i left you at the church with her . felix : yeah , brad and i went to go check on her , but sabrina said that she needed a minute to get out of her dress and collect herself . when i came back , she gave us the slip . patrick : so nobody talked to her ? she did n't show up at your place at any point ? felix : i went to taylor first thing , and she said she never came in . i 've called , i 've e - mailed , i 've texted nonstop , but no word . i 've checked everywhere , but there 's no sign of her . [ scene_break ] carlos : we did n't sleep together . in the biblical sense . we -- we slept in the same bed , but it was totally innocent . sabrina : oh , my god . how innocent could it have been if i had no clothes on ? carlos : you had the spins . i was afraid you were gon na get sick . i could n't have you rolling around , puking in your wedding dress . and you were in no condition to take it off , so ... sabrina : so you helped me ? carlos : i had my eyes closed . mostly . sabrina : [ sighs ] carlos : come on . any -- any glimpses were purely unintentional . hey , sabrina ... i would never take advantage of you . you know that about me , right ? sabrina : i do n't even know what i know anymore . what i was so sure of ... has been ... completely upended . i knew robin was dead . but even though you told me otherwise ... i refused to listen to you . and now i 'm paying the price . [ scene_break ] ellie : mr. scorpio , i really hope you wo n't hold damian 's actions against him . i mean , i know how it sounds . mac : like spinelli is being cruel and unfeeling . ellie : you know he 's neither of those things . he really did not want to turn maxie away . but if he had allowed her to see their daughter , to hold her , he would have lost custody . and then that little girl would n't have a mother or a father . [ scene_break ] maxie : this is really the only way . i mean , i ca n't ... i ca n't follow that court order . i know myself . i will just keep going back to see my daughter , no matter what the judge says . but if i do that , i 'm gon na continue to hurt spinelli and our baby , and i can not let that happen . i have to do this . i have to take myself out of the equation and -- and protect everyone . it 's the best thing to do . it 's the only thing . georgie : not if i have anything to say about it . [ scene_break ] mac : look , she 's probably christmas shopping and has n't even checked her phone . yeah , i will . soon as i hear from her . okay . love you . ellie : so felicia has n't heard from her either . mac : no . ellie : ugh , i can tell you 're really worried . mac : [ sighs ] in case you have n't noticed , maxie has a tendency to make poor decisions . you know , she lives moment to moment . she ca n't envision what her life 's gon na be like six months from now . that 's why i need to see her . i have good news , incredible news that i think will give her an example to live by . ellie : oh , well , in that case , i - i hope it 's , like , really , really good news . mac : [ chuckles ] it could n't be better . almost two years ago , i lost my niece , robin . ellie : oh . yeah , yeah . maxie 's often spoken about her . i know they were really close . mac : well , last night , i got the shock of my life . robin 's alive . [ scene_break ] maxie : i know what you 're gon na say . `` stop . think this through . you 're -- you 're making a mistake . do n't do it , maxie . `` georgie : for once , you 're right . do n't do it , maxie . put the pills down . maxie : i 'm not making a mistake . i 'm heading off a disaster and atoning . georgie : by killing yourself ? maxie , if you want to atone , then stick around and atone . if you take those pills , you 're only gon na hurt the people who love you -- mom and mac and spinelli ... especially your little girl . maxie : i know that you think i am avoiding my responsibility . but i would be righting a wrong , something i did and never paid for . going away would make up for it . it would make up for what i did to robin . [ scene_break ] anna : i think you 're getting a little ahead of yourself here . robin , you 've had nearly two years to think about the day that you would come home . patrick -- he has had no time to absorb even the shock -- robin : i know . i know i 'm not being fair . anna : well , you 're being human , which i kind of prefer . robin : patrick asked me to go home with him last night . i was the one that said no , because he did not break things off with sabrina . so ... i guess all i can do now is wait to hear from him . anna : listen ... when you were taken from us , patrick went to a really dark place . he was literally sick without you . he could n't even get out of bed . i , frankly , was concerned that he was ever gon na be himself again , let alone find joy . robin : he did . he found it with sabrina . anna : sabrina 's a lovely girl . she is . she really supported him through a lot and helped him find his way back to himself , get himself together , for emma 's sake a - as well as for his own . but sabrina 's not ... the woman that he changed his life for . she 's not the one he married . or the one who gave him his beloved daughter . she 's not you . really , i honestly think patrick will find his way back to you , sweetheart . i promise you that . robin : i wish i was as sure of that as you are , mom . [ scene_break ] patrick : have you talked to all her friends ? i mean , maybe she stayed with -- with ellie or lucy or somebody . felix : no and no . i 'm telling you , no one 's seen or heard from her since last night . i even tried to file a police report , but it has n't been 48 hours , so they were less than helpful . patrick : right , well , she 's not one to hurt herself . i do n't want to -- felix : no , no . of course not . [ sighs ] i 'm sure she 's okay . but on the off chance she is n't -- patrick : we need to try and find her . felix : you need to try to find her . patrick : no , you 're right . it 's -- it 's my responsibility . felix : i would gladly take the responsibility , but she 's not returning my calls . i did n't even want to bring you in on this except as a last resort . i 'm not sure she 's gon na even want to hear from you . but i am sure you 're the one person she ca n't ignore . call her . [ scene_break ] sabrina : [ sighs ] i should have listened to you . carlos : no , you should n't have . i 'm your ex . i came here trying to win you back , and you told me , made it very clear you were n't interested , you met somebody else , and i kept right on going after you . i was being a jealous , possessive jerk . sabrina : you 're not a jealous , possessive jerk . carlos : i can be . i have been . sabrina : if i 'd listened to you , patrick would n't have left me standing at the altar while he ran to robin , while he -- while he kissed her right in front of me . [ cell phone ringing ] sabrina : that 's my phone . carlos : patrick ? [ ringing continues ] carlos : well , what are you gon na do ? patrick : come on , sabrina . pick up . [ cell phone rings ] felix : hello ? sabrina : first off , i 'm okay . felix : what -- thank god ! what the hell took you so long to check in ? i was worried sick . sabrina : i know , felix . i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 've -- i was -- i was really out of it , and i only now just saw all the missed calls . felix : [ sighs ] i thought you 'd passed out in a ditch . sabrina : well , you got half of that right . i was passed out . but not in a ditch . i spent the night with carlos . [ scene_break ] shawn : so we 're going after carlos rivera ? sonny : maybe . [ sighs ] but i 've got some options . the point needs to be made that the jeromes ca n't come after my territory . i tolerated their presence , but my patience is running thin . shawn : well , say the word . i 'd be happy to deliver the message . sonny : i ca n't really burn rivera just yet . not until i get some facts straight . shawn : well , he 's julian jerome 's lieutenant and probably his enforcer . i mean , what else is there to know ? sonny : i need to know if carlos rivera is -- is family . [ scene_break ] robin : a lot has happened since i 've been gone . anna : of course . robin : babies have been born . people have died . i saw sam at the church . she 's a widow . i mean , jason 's son has to grow up without his father . anna : yeah . i know how much jason meant to you . robin : i just ca n't believe he 's gone . anna : but you know it was n't because of the brain tumor . you know that . your serum saved his life . robin : only for faison to shoot him in the back and dump him in the harbor . anna : i know . robin : and edward quartermaine -- i - i honestly thought he would outlive us all . anna : he lived long enough to save emma 's life . robin : what do you mean ? anna : he sacrificed himself . when jerry had taken this whole town hostage , when he poisoned the water supply , there was one antidote left to save one person . and tracy , she appropriated the dose -- well , she basically stole it -- to give to edward . but he chose to give it to emma . robin : oh , my god . anna : he loved emma as much as he loved you . it 's not all grim , robin . just look at the ring on uncle mac 's finger and the smile on felicia 's face . if those two can find their way back together again after all they 've been through , so can you and patrick . [ scene_break ] mac : emma saw her first . she , uh , ran down the aisle and jumped into her mother 's arms . we all just stood there , unable to believe what was right in front of us . but it was robin , alive and beautiful and holding on to her little girl . [ sighs ] the next hour or so was a blur . you know , i mean , a lot of hugging and crying and ... just a lot of happiness . ellie : oh , wow . well , i have heard nothing but wonderful things about robin from everyone at the hospital who knew her and worked with her . and damian was very fond her , too . i mean , he is gon na be so thrilled to know she 's still alive . mac : so will maxie , if we can just find her . [ scene_break ] georgie : maxie , you have to let this go . you are not responsible for what happened to robin . maxie : i do n't care what anyone says . i know the truth . i caused the gas leak and the lab explosion . robin is dead , and that 's on me . i have to make it right . georgie : but , maxie , there 's nothing to make right . robin is n't dead . maxie : i hope you 'll understand . georgie : no , i do n't understand . are you hearing me ? maxie : do n't be mad . georgie : you 're not hearing me , are you ? you ca n't even see me . are you so caught up in your own grief , you ca n't even see what 's right in front of you ? maxie : [ sighs ] please , georgie , forgive me . [ scene_break ] robin : i want to believe you , mom , but it 's just so difficult to not feel like an interloper who 's coming in to steal the life that patrick and emma and sabrina have built together . anna : you had this life . this was your life . these were the people you loved . you are allowed to want this back . robin : i 'm not sure it matters what i want . if patrick did n't want sabrina , then he would have broken it off with her last night . anna : listen to what you 're saying right now . would patrick be the man you love so much if he could so easily cut ties with a blameless woman who has supported him all this time that you could n't , through no fault of your own ? robin : you 're right . you 're right . he was about to commit his life to her . he had said his vows to her . it was completely unrealistic to think that he would just say , `` sorry , `` and walk away . anna : that 's what i was trying to say last night , that there is time . you do n't have to make these decisions immediately . robin : but they do have to be made eventually . and i ca n't say that i would blame patrick if in the end he decides that i 'm his past and sabrina is his future . [ scene_break ] shawn : you 're related to carlos rivera ? sonny : not by blood . but maybe . i do n't know . look , until i know for sure , he ca n't be touched . shawn : so what 's the connection ? sonny : my first wife . [ sighs ] rivera was her maiden name . her father was hernando rivera , a major player in puerto rico . i inherited his -- his , uh ... his territory . shawn : your first wife -- she was killed , right ? sonny : yeah , she was pregnant . she was -- we were gon na have a child . we went out to celebrate . we were having a good time . we were drinking . she did n't drink , but i did . and then she -- she went out to the car . and her father planned to kill me , and he killed his daughter instead . shawn : hmm . sonny : she was very special , and she deserved a lot better than ... than what i gave her . look , you know what ? [ clears throat ] i know that riveras are a dime a dozen in puerto rico , but carlos is from there , he 's connected -- shawn : but you do n't want to take any chances . sonny : i mean , it 's slim . i know it 's slim that carlos could be ... lily 's family . but i owe it to her to be positive about what i 'm doing here . so i 'm not gon na make a move unless i know for sure . [ scene_break ] felix : you did what ? ! sabrina : [ sighs ] felix : you slept with carlos ? sabrina : it 's a long story , but no , nothing happened . unless you count a night of binge drinking and the hangover that follows . felix : what 'd i tell you about you and tequila ? sabrina : i know . i 'll let you lecture me later , okay ? i just -- i wanted to let you know that i was okay . felix : you might want to pass that information on to patrick . he lost it when i told him that you were missing . sabrina : he did ? felix : of course ! the man 's baby mama might be back from the dead , but that does n't mean he 's stopped loving you . sabrina : [ voice breaking ] thank you . can you do me a favor ? felix : do you have to ask ? sabrina : do n't tell patrick i 'm with carlos . patrick : i left a message for sabrina . just got to straight voicemail . who 's on the phone ? sabrina : promise me , felix . patrick : felix , is that sabrina ? where is she ? [ scene_break ] ellie : the news will perk maxie right up . and damian , too . he 's told me so much about robin 's masterful skills in the lab . actually , she 's become sort of an inspiration to me . mac : well , you 're not the only one . everyone loved robin . well , almost everyone . ellie : what ? who could possibly have a problem with robin finally coming -- oh , sugar . sabrina . [ scene_break ] sabrina : felix , whatever you do , please do n't tell patrick where i 've been . okay ? felix : understood . got to go . patrick : was that sabrina ? felix : yeah . false alarm . she 's , uh , she 's fine . patrick : where has she been ? felix : oh , you know , clearing her head , driving . patrick : all night ? felix : she crashed at joyce 's . patrick : joyce ? felix : joyce the nurse . she works in pediatrics . patrick : yeah , but i thought you said you talked to all her friends , felix . felix : yeah , but i did n't think to include joyce , because she and sabrina had a falling out . patrick : she did n't mention anything about a falling out . felix : yeah , because it was over something so stupid . uh ... sabrina offered to take joyce out for a nice dinner , and when they did , joyce ordered soup . and then joyce said -- you know , she insisted that that was n't dinner and that sabrina owed her another dinner , and , uh , sabrina protested -- it was a whole to - do . patrick : apparently . felix : yeah . uh , so they 're over at joyce 's having breakfast , regrouping . everything should be , uh ... joyce : dr. drake ? patrick : joyce . joyce : i thought you were supposed to be on your honeymoon . patrick : yeah , you 're not the only one . can you excuse us for a second , please ? joyce : sure . patrick : spill . [ scene_break ] sabrina : i need to go . carlos : stay a while . sabrina : i ca n't . carlos : come on , talk to me . sabrina : i ca n't . but thank you so much for letting me crash here last night and ... and for taking care of me . carlos : i have a feeling you 'll be needing more of that . come on , where are you going ? sabrina : i 'm gon na find patrick . carlos : sabrina . sabrina : he 's -- he 's looking for me . he just needed time to think . carlos : he needed time to build his courage . sabrina : for what ? carlos : to tell you what he could n't tell you last night . sabrina : what ? carlos : your relationship is over . [ scene_break ] robin : i got to get out of here , get some air . anna : it 's really stuffy in here . why do n't we go down to the waterfront ? we could have some brunch , and i could take you for a drive . i 'll tell you , as police commissioner , one of the things i love is the fact that i can drive as fast as i want . nobody can stop me . there 's this stretch of road -- i could take you there . it 's really cool . robin : i love that the main perk of your job is that you can drive as fast as you want to . anna : yeah . that 's our secret , though . i do n't want to be a bad example to my officers . robin : mom , would you ... would you mind if we did that another time ? i just -- anna : you need to be alone . robin : i - i just need to walk around , clear my head a bit . anna : i do n't want to crowd you . robin : that 's impossible . anna : i 'm very greedy for you right now . i love you so much . i 'm so thankful that you 're alive . i am . i could shackle myself to your leg right now , follow you around . but since we marched little emma off to school , i should probably tough it out , right ? robin : [ sighs ] mom , thank you . anna : for what ? robin : for looking after patrick and emma and ... for rescuing me and keeping me sane . you 're my hero , mom . you always will be . anna : and you are mine . you 're my hero . [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] ellie : so do you know where things stand between patrick and sabrina ? mac : no , but i can only imagine they have a lot to figure out . uh , listen , you 'll call me if you hear from maxie ? ellie : of course . the moment she walks in the door . mac : thank you , ellie . ellie : mr. scorpio , i just want you to know i am so happy for you and your family , that you have your robin back . mac : now all i need is my maxie back . [ scene_break ] maxie : dear family and friends , this is no one 's fault but my own . it 's my choice , and i 'm very sorry if it causes you pain . that 's not my intention . i 'm doing this to make things easier for everyone . being here causes too many problems . all i do is hurt people . and all i do is hurt . being kept from my daughter is too difficult to bear . and trying to be with her will only make things worse for her . this is the only way out . spinelli , take care of our daughter . tell her i love her . and whatever you do , do n't let her be like me . raise her to be like you -- kind and bold and confident and loyal and big- hearted and unique . to my daughter , i love you . that may be hard to believe , since i 've chosen to leave you , but sometimes not all decisions make sense right away . i may be gone but i 'll be with you always . be good to your father . indulge your grandmother when she tells you about her aztec heritage . and always take grandpa mac 's advice . p.s . -- when it comes to jewelry and makeup , less is more . [ scene_break ] ellie : oh , please let it be maxie . hello ? yes , this is ellie trout . who is this ? oh . oh , my god .

[ scene_break ] robin : hello ? is anyone there ? maxie . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] sabrina : you were so kind to me last night , so why go and annihilate the goodwill that you 've built up , huh ? carlos : i 'm telling you the truth . sabrina : the t -- the truth ? carlos : you just said you should have listened to me . sabrina : the truth is self - serving . undercutting my relationship with patrick is not gon na bring me back to you . carlos : the man ran away from you . sabrina : it 's not -- it 's not that simple , okay ? carlos : yes , it is . sabrina ... sabrina : there still may be something left to salvage . that 's all the explanation you 're gon na get . carlos : do n't do this . sabrina , do n't do this , please . he 's gon na hurt you again . he does n't love you . he ca n't love you . but i do . [ scene_break ] felix : what is with you not taking my calls ? you better check your messages , and quick . because , as hard as i tried , patrick made me squeal , and he knows you 're over at carlos ' , and he 's on his way over there right now . [ scene_break ] sonny : find out everything you need to . find out about carlos rivera and fast . shawn : understood . just so we 're clear , if rivera is n't connected to your wife 's family ... carly : then carlos dies .

luke : enjoy yourself while you can . your time 's running out . fluke : you 'd think so , would n't you ? unfortunately , the pcpd has already apprehended your imposter . and , typically for them and unfortunately for you , they got the wrong man . [ door opens , closes ] anna : why are you looking all pleased with yourself ? you should n't be . the situation could n't be less promising . faison : all the more reason to find a little joy wherever you can . anna : joy ? faison : yeah , joy , joy . uh , liesl would call it schadenfreude . i 'm afraid i caused a little trouble for drake and mrs. morgan . patrick : sam , wait . please . i got to talk to you . sam : fine ! talk . faison just said that you knew that jason did n't die on that pier . is it true ? is it ? ! patrick : yes . sam : so ... jason did n't die ? wh - wh - what does that mean ? are you saying that he 's alive ? jason : what do you want ? helena : you 're active . jason : is that supposed to mean something to me ? helena : you 'll find out . jason : all i want to know is why you were at elizabeth 's house on thanksgiving . nikolas : hello . elizabeth : hi . it 's been a while . nikolas : may i come in ? elizabeth : i do n't really have time to visit . i have to get to work . nikolas : this wo n't take long . i just wanted to let you know that you were right about britt . again . britt : that 's it ? you got a feeling that everything 's going to be all right ? great . i 'm really happy for you . dr. obrecht : you should be happy for mutter . britt : nikolas is going to press charges against me for endangering spencer 's life . he wants to send me to prison , mother . michael : will these changes affect the timeline ? uh , no . there should n't be a problem . i 'll have the final blueprints for your approval before you break ground on the clinic , mr. corinthos . michael : it 's quartermaine . my father was aj quartermaine , not sonny corinthos . sonny : listen , son -- michael : i 'm not your son ! and you 're not my father ! aj was my father . sonny : you 're angry . you have every right to be , but i raised you . michael : that was n't for my sake . i was a pawn ! you hated aj , and you used me , his own son , against him . you did n't care what you did to me . you cost me my whole life with my real father . see , i 'm not like you . i keep my promises . i promised aj that i would make his killer pay . and now i finally am . carlos : well , look who 's here . big , bad sonny corinthos all caged up like an animal . [ chuckles ] oh , how the mighty have fallen . helena : i apologize . i - i did n't properly introduce myself the other day . i 'm -- jason : i know who you are . helena cassadine . sabrina : michael . michael : sabrina . hey . sabrina : do you have a moment ? michael : yeah , sure . what do you need ? sabrina : i owe you an apology . sonny : what do you want , rivera ? carlos : [ chuckles ] oh , come on , sonny . we go back a long way . you can call me carlos . sonny : get the hell away from me . you understand me ? carlos : you still think you 're the boss ? it 's been a long time since you ordered me to dig my own grave . you remember that night ? i do . you were gon na kill me to send a message to julian . but you did n't . sonny : something to regret . carlos : [ chuckles ] do you regret killing aj ? hmm ? ava sent me to take him out , but somebody got in my way . nobody got in your way , did they ? sonny : what 's the point ? carlos : you killed that son of a bitch , and you let me go down for it . luke : wait . there 's an imposter pretending to be me ? fluke : jerry jacks and i arranged for someone to wear a mask of your memorable features . luke : who ? fluke : not lord ashton , if that 's what you 're thinking . luke : only because you brought him up in our last tea party . fluke : well , do n't get me wrong . ashton did have a part to play in our brilliant plan . he delivered the mask . and he charged a hefty fee for such a minimal effort , it must be said . luke : who wore the damn mask ? ! fluke : that honor went to none other than cesar faison . luke : faison is involved in this . fluke : he 's a valuable member of our team . i believe you already deduced that he has experience in transforming himself . he played you perfectly . and now he 's playing the pcpd . anna : what did you say to sam and patrick ? faison : well , what do you care ? drake is longer married to robin . anna : he 's part of my family . faison : relax . it 's just a little issue they need to discuss . i do n't know . anna : [ sighs ] you and i -- we need to have a discussion , too . about helena cassadine . so , i know that she went to visit luke when you imprisoned him in miscavige . faison : yeah , but with all due respect , i do n't have helena 's coming and goings . anna : okay , just answer the damn question . faison : i do n't have it . anna : what does helena have to do with you impersonating luke these past few months ? jason : i did n't know you on thanksgiving , but i know you now , mrs. cassadine . helena : well , i would imagine you 're missing a few pertinent details . jason : i saw your picture in the paper . i pointed it out to elizabeth , and she told me enough . i guess her ex - husband and his family are your favorite targets . that 's right . helena : well , i 've always found the spencers entertaining . jason : elizabeth is a friend . she helped heal me . she got me back up on my feet . helena : how charitable of her . jason : she gave me a place to stay when i had nowhere else to go , so you listen to me when i tell you -- i wo n't let you hurt her . helena : and ... what would you do to stop me ? jason : whatever it takes . helena : well ... i 'm almost tempted to let you try it just to watch you in action . but we have more pressing matters to deal with . and as it happens , i 'm not interested in elizabeth . i 'm interested solely in you . sam : tell me ! is jason alive ? patrick : sam , i 'm sorry , but ... jason is -- is dead . sam : what do you mean he 's dead ? you just told me in there that he was alive on the pier ! patrick : he survived -- he survived the gunshot . a cassadine boat came and picked him up after faison kicked him into the harbor . sam : oh , my god . oh , my god . that 's why ... i could n't find him . i dove , looking for him for hours . patrick : he was unconscious , sam . he was -- he was barely alive . and he died at crichton - clark much later . sam : wait , what ? patrick : sam , robin was with him . sam : what the hell does robin have to do with any of this ? patrick : robin did n't -- she did n't leave me to go do humanitarian work in africa . victor cassadine blackmailed her . he forced her to go do research for him , and if she did n't go , then he was gon na let jason die . sam : no . no , no , no , no , no , no . this ca n't be happening . this ca n't be happening . patrick : she did everything she could for him , sam , but -- but jason died . sam : no . i do n't believe it . i do n't believe any of this . when did you actually find out that jason died ? when ? ! patrick : when you and i were at crichton - clark . sam : crichton - clark ? that was months ago . patrick : yeah . sam : you son of a bitch ! elizabeth : so , let me get this straight . britt conspired with spencer , encouraged him to run away in the name of love ? nikolas : that about sums it up . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] nikolas : i know it 's too little , too late , but britt 's out my life for good , so go ahead and get it out of your system . i know you 're dying to say , `` i told you so . `` elizabeth : nikolas , i would never gloat over something so awful . nikolas : really ? elizabeth : on second thought , i told you so . nikolas : [ chuckles ] britt : nikolas is gon na prosecute me to the fullest extent of the law . and anna will be thrilled to help him . dr. obrecht : you 're not in police custody yet . and you do n't ever have to be . you can bid adieu to this provincial town and come away on what is sure to be a marvelous adventure with me and your father . faison : the last time i saw helena cassadine was when we teamed up to program lucky spencer to do our bidding . anna : forced mental conditioning . faison : i prefer `` mind control . `` but i know you 're familiar with the concept . anna : well , you failed with lucky , did n't you ? faison : initially , it worked out just fine , but you 're right . he somehow overcame whatever helena and i did to his mind . i wonder if helena ever ... managed to perfect the technique . hmm . wonder . jason : me ? really ? i did n't even know who you were until this morning . helena : oh , you did , in your previous incarnation . jason : i knew you before the accident ? helena : only peripherally , though i was aware of your ... formidable reputation . jason : what are you talking about ? what reputation ? helena : well , i had the pleasure of becoming better acquainted with you after your supposed death on the waterfront . oh , and your miraculous revival . jason : so , i was revived , now ? helena : yes . at the crichton - clark facility , and thanks to the efforts of your dear friend , dr. robin scorpio - drake . patrick : would you let me explain , sam , please ? sam : explain what ? ! jason was alive months ago and you did n't tell me . patrick : you 're not listening to what i said , sam . sam : no . i 'm hearing what you 're saying . i hear it loud and clear . jason was in that clinic . i was there , too . why did n't you tell me ? you could have told me ! patrick : jason was already dead by the time that we were at crichton - clark . there 's nothing that you could have done . sam : nothing ? you do n't know that . silas and i were at that clinic months before . jason could have been alive . i could have helped him . i could have told him that danny was his son . patrick : there 's nothing -- sam : i could have said goodbye ! do you have any idea ? ! we finally -- we were finally a family . everything was great . and i then wake up and he was gone . do you understand what that 's like ? he was gone , and to know that i could have had another chance to hold his hand , to tell him i love him . but i could n't because of you . you knew that he was alive , and you did n't tell me . [ sniffles ] patrick : i 'm sorry . sam : screw sorry . why the hell did you not tell me ? ! jason : drake ? any relation to dr. patrick drake ? helena : yes . they were married . jason : and i 'm her patient ? helena : [ chuckles ] you were her greatest triumph . oh , she 's a sour , unpleasant little thing , but undoubtedly brilliant , which is fortunate for both of us . jason : i do n't remember her . helena : you do n't remember a great many things . jason : yeah , that 's right . so you 're probably just taking advantage . helena : oh , of your impairment , your disability ? jason : my temporary condition . helena : and ... what about jason morgan ? jason : what about jason morgan ? helena : well , is the name familiar to you ? jason : yes . i 've heard the name . so ? helena : so ... jason morgan ... is you . sonny : i never asked ava to get you to make that confession . she did that on her own . carlos : yeah , but you benefited . i went to prison for a crime that you committed . you were out there free -- free to look up at the stars , take in the fall air , make love to a woman . you know what i did ? i picked bugs out of my food . i stay awake at night listening to the rats . i fought to stay alive . you ever once think about me ? hmm ? sonny : yeah , i thought about it . and i was wondering why the hell would you confess to aj 's murder ? carlos : i did it for sabrina . i did it for love . michael : what do you have to apologize for ? sabrina : when i told you my suspicions that ava killed aj -- that theory was based on information that i got from carlos , but he was wrong . ava was n't the one that shot aj . michael : sonny shot my father . and then he hid behind ava and let her force carlos to take the blame . fluke : faison was you just long enough for anna to arrest him . luke : faison 's on interpol 's most wanted list . he 's serving consecutive life terms . why would he risk going back to steinmauer just to play your sordid game ? fluke : cesar faison will never see the inside of a prison . my comrade and your immortal nemesis , helena cassadine , is seeing to that . helena : your name is n't jake . it 's jason morgan . jason : that 's not true . helena : oh , but it is . you 're the man that elizabeth and many others remember with such affection . jason : elizabeth has a picture . i 've seen it . helena : of you . no , i noticed it . it 's quite ironic that you ca n't recognize your own face . jason : i have a different face . i was in an accident . are you gon na tell me that you 're responsible for that , too ? hmm ? helena : well , i would like to take credit for it , but it was completely random and most advantageous . no one who knows you could recognize you , and with your memory impairment , you have no idea where your true loyalties lie . jason : not with you . helena : we 'll get to that part . jason : [ chuckles ] jason morgan . helena : oh , it 's a striking story . you know , a - a privileged son turns his back on his family , gets a job with a ... mob kingpin , and becomes a lethal assassin . or has n't anyone mentioned your field of expertise ? jason : jason 's married to sam . helena : oh , yes . i believe you 're still married . unless she 's declared you legally dead . i 'll ask my attorneys to look into that . jason : she 's got a son , uh , danny . so danny -- helena : is your son . jason : okay . if this is true , if you 're telling me the truth right now -- helena : oh , but it is . it is true . i assure you , mr. morgan , i have no inclination to lie . oh , you are far too important to me . jason : i got to go see sam . i got to find sam . sam : how could you not tell me that jason was alive ? patrick : victor threatened robin . if robin talked , jason died . sam : i was his wife . we -- we are friends . we trust each other . patrick : i could n't risk victor finding out . and -- and i did n't want to give you false hope if robin 's research did n't work . sam : he was my husband . i had a right to know . patrick : do n't you think that i wanted to tell you , sam ? of course i wanted to tell you . but you -- you -- you were just starting to heal . you had just moved on with silas . if i had told you that jason did n't die when you thought , it would have ripped your heart out , and i did n't -- i did n't want to do that to you . sam : you have no idea to tell me how i would react . you did n't give me that choice . patrick : i was trying to spare you this -- this very thing -- the feeling that jason died all over again , sam , and i - i did n't want to -- i did n't want to see you in that kind of pain . sam : it was n't your decision to make ! patrick : i was trying to be a friend -- the best kind of friend that -- that spares you from pain like that and ... i 'm sorry . i made a mistake . can you find a way to forgive me ? michael : do you have any idea when carlos is gon na get released ? sabrina : well , the lawyers are working on it , but it 's complicated . although carlos is innocent , he made a false confession , so ... michael : i 'm sure it 's all gon na get straightened out . i mean , they ca n't keep an innocent man in prison for sonny 's crime . sabrina : i hope you 're right . well , i should go . i 've taken too much of your time . michael : actually , um ... i have to talk to you about something . sonny : sabrina santiago ? carlos : that 's my girl . but you already knew that . ava threatened to hurt sabrina if i did n't do what i was told . and then sabrina was in a car accident . she lost her baby . sonny : and you assumed ava was responsible . carlos : i was wrong . ava did n't cause that accident , but she used it to her advantage . sonny : maybe so , but ava 's not blameless . she killed somebody that i loved very much . carlos : connie falconeri . i know . sonny : yeah , it was in the paper . is that what you meant ? carlos : does n't matter anymore . 'cause i 'm getting out of this hellhole . [ laughs ] today . [ laughs ] sam : [ voice breaking ] we have been working together on this case for months , trying to find out who killed your son , and all this time , you knew about jason . oh ! patrick : sam , it 's just -- it 's more complicated than that . sam : no , it 's pretty simple , actually . jason was alive . you did n't tell me . and then jason died , and you still did n't tell me . patrick : i thought i was doing the right thing . sam : yeah ? we were friends . and there was a moment -- oh -- that i thought that we were more than that , and ... you knew this information that would alter my life , and you did n't tell me . and what -- what were you thinking ? were you playing god ? patrick : i 'm so sorry . please . i did n't -- i did n't -- sam : you did n't what ? ! do n't touch me ! jason was alive . he was alive . all i ever wanted was one more chance to tell him that i loved him . and i could have . oh . i could have . jason : who are you , huh ? why would i trust you ? you say i 'm jason morgan . okay . prove it . how are you gon na prove it ? helena : a simple dna test should suffice . jason : these people -- they grieved for this man . helena : for you . jason : if this is a lie to open them up to that sort of pain again , trust me , i 'll make you pay . helena : wait . jason : what ? helena : we 're not finished . jason : [ chuckles ] we 're finished . helena : i said wait . one more thing . you work for me . elizabeth : i am sorry for everything that 's happened . nikolas : you warned me about her over and over again , but i would n't listen . elizabeth : do n't beat yourself up . she 's just not who you thought . nikolas : that is indeed correct . elizabeth : and for all this to be happening when helena reappears is incredibly unfair . nikolas : helena ? what ? elizabeth : you have n't read the paper ? nikolas : no . i 've been a little preoccupied with evicting britt . what 's going on ? elizabeth : oh , my god . you 've got to see this . look . helena : during your stay at the clinic , you were conditioned to take my orders . but i was concerned that the -- the memory impairment might block the conditioning , but it has n't . jason : conditioning ? what are you talking about ? helena : i paid a second visit to elizabeth 's house on thanksgiving . i met with you privately and arranged for this meeting that we 're having here today . and then i told you to forget my involvement . jason : you 're telling me i 'm here on your orders ? helena : think about it . now , why did you choose to come to this pier this afternoon ? it 's very simple . the answer is you did n't . i gave you this location for this rendezvous point . jason : why , huh ? why did you want to see me ? why tell me any of this ? helena : well , you have a reputation , mr. morgan , for independence . now , that option no longer applies . you could n't shoot me at the clinic because i told you not to . now you have to follow my instructions because it 's impossible -- it 's impossible for you to do anything else . jason : why go to all this trouble ? why choose me ? why do n't you just hire somebody , huh ? hire somebody . helena : oh , how modest . no , it 's really quite endearing . jason : you 're telling me that i have to work for you , that i have no choice , that i 've been conditioned ? i want to know why . helena : you have been selected because of your superb skills . jason : selected for what ? anna : so , you 're gon na be transferred to pentonville where you 'll await processing by the international authorities effective immediately . faison : does it make you uncomfortable -- talking mind control with me ? anna : why ? [ sniffles ] you think i 'm afraid that you 're gon na utter some trigger phrase and i 'm gon na fall into line and do your bidding ? no . faison : perhaps you should . anna : no . [ chuckles ] if you knew a way to brainwash me into wanting you , you would have done it years ago . faison : i did . anna : no . you tried . and you failed . no amount of torture or manipulation or lies you tell or people you kill -- it 's never gon na make me love you . faison : and you 're proud of that , right ? anna : [ sniffles ] yeah , well , i 'm really just stating facts . faison : no . it 's what gives you power . you still believe i 'm a slave to my love for you . anna : [ chuckles ] no . what you felt for me -- it 's not love . it 's an obsession . and it 's been a blight on my life . faison : then you should rejoice . the spell is broken . anna : i 'm not gon na rejoice until i 've got all these papers signed and you 're on your way to steinmauer . [ sniffles ] that 's where robert and i should have put you last year when we had the chance . faison : oh , yes . scorpio . is n't it tragic how you wasted your life upon that fool ? anna : are you still jealous ? faison : no , i 'm not . i mean , you 're not listening ? anna : what ? faison : the spell is broken . anna : i do n't know what you 're talking about . what spell ? faison : oh , sit down . anna : are you suddenly gon na be transformed into a handsome prince ? faison : no . a free man . anna : no . you 're not gon na know freedom anymore . faison : freedom from you , anna . when you broke those precious laws of yours , when you put me in that pit , you turned yourself ordinary -- petty , mindless . there 's no challenge to you anymore . you 're not worthy of my love . you simply lost the power . britt : your lover 's been arrested . anna has him in custody . he 's not going anywhere but back to supermax . it 's over for you and romeo . dr. obrecht : not true , tochter . my sources tell me otherwise . helena : you were to be a part of an elite division of the wsb . my brother - in- law , victor cassadine , was grooming you for the program . but he underestimated you . jason : really ? helena : yes , victor did n't think you had the ... will to escape the clinic . jason : well , why did n't he just order me not to leave and let the conditioning take effect ? helena : i do n't know . and i ca n't ask . victor is dead . jason : and now i work for you . helena : yes . and i 'm so pleased that you have finally accepted the realities of the situation . jason : [ chuckles ] thought i did n't have a choice . helena : none whatsoever , but do n't let that trouble you . i have the deepest appreciation for your skills . and i intend to utilize them to the fullest . jason : how ? helena : i have a job for you to do . fluke : you 'll be very pleased to know that everyone welcomed you back into the warm glow of family and marriage . and this time , no one is going to suspect that i am not you . luke : well , congratulations , you son of a bitch . so , riddle me this -- if you 're not ashton or faison , who the hell are you ? ! fluke : and so , we return to the same point at which we began . who am i ? well , go ahead . pinch my cheek . check under to see if it 's a mask . oh . how rude of me . you ca n't do that . you 're all tied up . luke : god , you 're an obnoxious bastard . fluke : i 'm just being you . see ? it 's the real me , and i 'm the real you . no one can call me fake face . so that leads us to the next logical question . how did i do it ? how did i get your face ? britt : helena cassadine is gon na break my father out of prison ? dr. obrecht : your father and i would love to have you with us . we can finally be the family i always dreamed -- scientific pursuits by day and coming together for a warm meal at night . britt : family dinner ? i think you 're pushing it just a bit . dr. obrecht : i 'm offering you a way out of imprisonment . what 's left for you in port charles ? what do you have to lose ? nikolas : it 's official . my grandmother 's immortal . i should be grateful that she did n't come by wyndemere . elizabeth : she showed up here instead . nikolas : is it about us ? is she afraid we 're back together ? elizabeth : i do n't know . i did n't see her . the man who 's staying with me did . helena : i 'll have further instructions for you once the job is finished . however , if there are any unforeseen problems and you do n't make the rendezvous point , you will forget that we had this meeting . you will forget that i was involved . and you will forget that you are jason morgan . jason : i do n't remember being jason morgan . helena : no . but you do know how to do your job . that 's all i need . it 's been very pleasant , but the clock is ticking . time to go to work . michael : we 're about to break ground on the new clinic i told you about -- the one i 'm -- i 'm funding in honor of my father . sabrina : congratulations . michael : thank you . um , i just wanted to let you know the job offer still stands , and since the clinic 's affiliated with gh . , you would n't have to give up your job . sabrina : actually , i would n't be giving up anything . i - i no longer work at gh . michael : what ? why ? what happened ? if you do n't -- if you do n't mind me asking . sabrina : i got fired . michael : uh , what for ? sabrina : i let my need for revenge take over my life . i - i abandoned my principles , and i did something terrible . michael , do n't let that happen to you . carlos : word came down the da is releasing me . [ chuckles ] justice is finally being served . i did not do the crime , but i did my time . and now it 's your turn . good luck , amigo . you 're gon na need it . sonny : you think so ? carlos : oh . the hombres have been talking , and i 've been listening . there 's a lot of people in here who hate the hell out of you . so you 're gon na get exactly what you deserve . patrick : sam , will you let me take you home ? sam : [ sighs ] i am not going anywhere with you . patrick : look , i know you 're angry , and ... i do n't blame you . but i just want to make sure that you get home safe , sam . sam : i - i - i just do n't know what to think about ... you . and jason being alive for all that time ... patrick : i 'm not trying to defend myself . i - i do n't know what else to say . i 'm just -- i ... sam : please go . i 'm not going with you . go ! please . patrick : i 'm sorry . dr. obrecht : helena . there you are . helena : well , liesl . what is this ? you felt the need to bring a plus one ? you 're not going on a luxury cruise . you 're running away from the law . dr. obrecht : i did n't expect you to be so reactionary . this is my daughter britta . and she 's coming with us . anna : thank you . faison will pay for his crimes , especially what he did to jason . i promise you that . sam : thank you . anna : come on ! get him out of here . sam : [ muffled yell ] fluke : how is it possible that we share a face ? well , i suppose extensive plastic surgery could explain it . or maybe it 's something ... more complex , something less scientific , something more ... mysterious . luke : do you ever shut up ? fluke : well , you 'll have plenty of time to puzzle that out while i 'm busy living your life and spitting out everyone in it . luke : you 'll never get away with this , you lunatic . there 's only one luke spencer . me ! fluke : we 'll see . sabrina : carlos , is that you ? [ both laugh ] carlos : yes , querida . sabrina : dios mío . you 're free . carlos : i 'm out . and i intend to get back everything that i lost . sonny recalls carlos ' words : a lot of people in here who hate the hell out of you . so you 're gon na get exactly what you deserve .

[ scene_break ] patrick : why would i be mad if lisa 's dating ethan ? if it 's true , it would be great for all of us . robin : if it 's true . i mean , she 's doing an excellent job with her sane act . even nikolas is buying it . back to being the rock - solid professional . so that 's why you 're in a bad mood , right ? you 're having doubts about shutting lisa out of your life . patrick : if i 'm in a bad mood , it 's because our marriage is at a standstill . you 're not willing to try and work it out , but you 're not willing to walk away . so i really do n't know where i am . robin : well , i am just thinking about our child 's future and the consequences , something maybe you should have thought about before you slept with lisa . patrick : i hope lisa is dating ethan , because if she is , maybe she 'll be out of our lives for good . [ scene_break ] ethan : i 'm not dating lisa . not exactly , anyway . maya : then what are you doing with her ? i think i have the right to know . i mean , after all , i am your wife . ethan : it 's complicated . [ scene_break ] second man : outrageous ! a blatant disregard for human frailty ! what must a poor invalid do to get medical attention around here ? for god 's sake , hurry . ca n't you see i 'm about to expire ? [ scene_break ] dante : i 'll request that aleksander 's body be transferred to gh for a secondary autopsy . once the results are in , the body can be released from the morgue . if the balkan wants to have any kind of burial for his son , he 's got to come pick up the body , or he 's got to send someone to come do it for him . either way , we got this guy boxed in . sam : wait a minute . wo n't a second autopsy raise all sorts of red flags ? wo n't it draw attention to what really happened the night of aleksander 's shooting ? dante : second autopsies happen all the time in murder investigations . i can just go with the story i told ronnie , that we initially thought that janacek was the balkan , but now , that proved to be false , but they still might be connected somehow . jason : i like it . i like your plan . but we 're going to need somebody at the hospital . dante : i 'll talk to steve webber . if he gives the okay , then we should n't have any problems . i 'll let you know . jason : all right . sam : i know this is the only lead we have to go on , but i would n't be surprised if it turned up being a dead end . i do n't think the balkan is going to be drawn out so easily . jason : but aleksander is the balkan 's son , and that changes everything . for once , maybe the balkan is too emotional to make a smart choice . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i heard a crash . i assumed the divine one was being attacked . brenda : i 'm fine . spinelli : well , clearly , the offender was interrupted before he could do any real harm . brenda : ahem . the vase , it got accidentally -- it got just knocked over , so . spinelli : while you were undoubtedly fending off mister sir 's unwanted -- sonny : carly , i warned you not to do this . why would you do this ? carly : do what ? come and check on brenda and make sure she 's still breathing ? sonny : no . you do n't care about me and brenda . all you care about is interrupting us -- carly : i did n't even know you were here . spinelli : that 's true . actually , when the valkyrie arrived , i confessed i feared mister sir had fled with the divine one in tow . carly : thank you . sonny : you may be innocent in all this , but she knew exactly what she was doing . stop planning . stop sabotaging . carly : i do n't need to sabotage . you 're doing a fine job on your own . sonny : okay , look . i do n't care . just stop it , because nothing will keep me from being with brenda .

[ scene_break ] carly : you know what ? if you want to get back together with brenda , have at it . but do n't be surprised when it falls apart again . and it will , because you guys make each other miserable . sonny : keep telling yourself that because it 's easier to accept that brenda makes me happier than you do . carly : she makes you happy ? that 's why you left her at the altar . and let me think . jax left her , too . why ? because she 's a spoiled brat . sonny : you always hated brenda for no good reason . carly : yeah , you 're damn right i hate her , 'cause she uses jason . sonny : yeah . and that 's your job . carly : i 've been to hell and back with jason , and i 've been to hell and back with you . i 'm not jealous of you and brenda . i do n't want to see her destroy you . sonny : ca n't you just live your own damn life and let me live mine ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : mister sir was most incensed ? brenda : uh , yeah . well , he does n't like her , and she does n't know how to deal with him , so . spinelli : if i might make an observation , it would seem , in my humble opinion , that the real problem is mister sir and the valkyrie are so much alike that they ca n't keep from butting heads . brenda : [ laughs ] no . i 'm going to have to disagree with you on that . carly : i do n't care who you sleep with . spinelli , can you please tell jason i stopped by ? [ door slams ] [ scene_break ] johnny : you could have called first . olivia : maybe you should n't have given me a key and told me to use it . so i guess wrecking patrick drake 's marriage was n't enough for you ? you 're just making friends all over town , are n't you ? lisa : i was under the impression that you and johnny were through . olivia : well , obviously , john and i have a lot to discuss . do you mind getting up off your knees and giving us a little privacy ? lisa : well , you promised it 'd be an interesting evening . you did n't disappoint . so call me later on . johnny : yeah . olivia : wow . did i miss something ? now , i know i had a drink with steve the other night , but this seems a little extreme , even for you . johnny : i 'm sorry that you had to find out this way . i ca n't do it anymore , olivia , the back and forth . one minute , you want to be with me . the next minute , you 're kicking me to the curb because you ca n't handle my life . i ca n't do it . it should n't be that difficult . and with lisa , it 's not . olivia : oh , i think i got a pretty good eyeful of just how easy lisa can be . johnny : look , our relationship was going to end sooner or later . why keep dragging it out ? olivia : yeah . you know , you 're right , john . there 's really no point in hanging onto something when all you feel is stuck . johnny : i do n't feel stuck . you know that . i just know that i ca n't change my life for you , and i just think it 's better for both of us if we move on . olivia : yeah . well , you know , after all we 've been to each other , john , and after everything we 've been through , i think the least you could do is stand up and give me a kiss good - bye . [ scene_break ] rodney : the guy 's a freakin ' lunatic . i 'm calling the cops . jason : it 's probably best to forget this ever happened . rodney : well , you 're not the one bleeding , so just stay the hell out of it . wait a minute . i know you . you work for sonny corinthos . jason : no cops . is that clear ? rodney : yeah , sure . i do n't want any trouble . jason : what happened ? sam : jason , this is abby . abby : hey . michael : this guy was all over abby . he was saying things , touching her -- abby : it was just a misunderstanding . rodney is a regular at the club . and he gets a little grabby , but he 's harmless . jason : i 'm sorry for any trouble . abby : it 's okay . look , i should get to work . i ca n't afford to be late . sam : how about i go with you ? jason : you 're lucky i got here before the cops did . michael : i know . it wo n't happen again . jason : no , it ca n't happen again , or you 're going to be back in pentonville .

[ dante sighs ] theo : has the unfeeling staff sent you over here to die , too ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't care what plan carly comes up with . do not let her drag you into it . i am done with interference . spinelli : the jackal meant no disrespect by his untimely intrusion . i sincerely thought the divine one was in grave danger . brenda : i understand , and i 'm really lucky to have you looking out for me , but -- spinelli : i will always keep your best interests at heart , unlike others , who put their primal urges above other people 's safety . sonny : we do n't need to -- i need to -- can we go to my house ? i need privacy . you know what i mean ? spinelli : i 'm sorry . stone cold issued specific orders . the divine one is not to leave the premises under any circumstances . brenda : yes , but i just -- i really , really -- spinelli , please , could you just respect my choices ? sonny : yeah . let 's go . brenda : okay ? sonny : i 'll get it . i got it . brenda : i 'll be okay . sonny : okay . um -- suzanne : why are n't you dressed ? brenda : um ... well , for what ? suzanne : the cocktail reception . given by one of asec 's major contributors at his hotel tonight ? brenda . brenda . i told you about this days ago . please , just go get ready . i need you there . i need you to charm this fellow out of some more money . brenda : uh -- sonny : not tonight . brenda : i 'm pretty sure i 'm not even supposed to be out , right ? so it 's probably the last thing that i should be doing is going and having small talk with a bunch of people who i do n't care about . i mean , i understand it 's important to you -- suzanne : it is vital . without contributions like this man can give us , asec ca n't afford to keep their doors open , let alone fund the programs that the kids need . brenda : is it okay ? sonny : yeah . i 'll go with you . brenda : okay . great . suzanne : [ scoffs ] not a chance . sonny : i just offered to escort her to the charity . what , you got a problem with that ? suzanne : you do n't know ? you are a known crime figure who was just tried for murder . sonny : actually , i was exonerated . suzanne : there is no way brenda can afford to be seen in public with you , let alone anywhere else . brenda : well , i 'm pretty sure that who i 'm seen in public with is my business , so let 's -- suzanne : no . no . when you are parading someone around at an event for a charity that i have spent years building , it becomes my business . brenda : well , sonny 's my priority . suzanne : i thought asec was . brenda : okay . you 're being ridiculous . suzanne : brenda , i am begging you . there is a room full of people waiting for us , for you . brenda : okay . well , if it 's that important , then i 'll just go get dressed , and we 'll go , right ? we 'll all go together . sonny : yeah . brenda : all right . i 'll be right down , okay ? sonny : uh ... if you think you can use the charity to drive a wedge between me and brenda , i got news for you . it ai n't going to happen .

[ scene_break ] johnny : if i got up and kissed you good - bye , it would n't just be a kiss , and you know that . we 'd be right on the merry - go - round wondering which one of us would have the strength to get off . someone 's got to . ca n't keep doing this . olivia : that is a beautiful analogy about a merry - go - round , john . you think i 'm some kind of freakin ' idiot ? johnny : i -- i know this is hard for you to hear -- olivia : it 's hard for me to hear because it 's a load of crap . john , i happen to know that dr. niles is so hung up on patrick drake that she would n't give you the time of day . she 's over here because you 're hurt -- probably shot -- and you need someone to sew you back together without tipping off the cops . how am i doing so far ? you want to talk about why this relationship is n't working ? it 's because you ca n't be honest . you would rather sit there and lie to my face and try to break my heart on purpose by pretending that you 're sleeping around . johnny : you think i like hurting you ? olivia : i do n't know , john . seems like you 're willing to die trying . johnny : i wanted to give you a reason to walk away . i thought it would be easier if you were hurt . olivia : what does that even mean ? you know what ? it does n't even matter , because all the good intentions in the world do n't mean a damn thing because you ca n't trust me . johnny : i know you do n't like my business , and i did n't want to flaunt the danger in your face . olivia : what flaunt ? john , are you going to tell me who 's shooting at you this time ? johnny : what does it matter ? there 's always going to be someone shooting at me . it 's the world i was born into . olivia : you know , that excuse is getting pretty old , at this point , okay ? i 'd say about 30 years , by my math . you need to be a man and own the choices that you 're making now . johnny : i do n't know why i keep having the same argument . we 're not going to get anywhere . nothing 's going to change . i 'm not going to change my life . olivia : i guess you 're right . we do want different things out of life . i guess that 's it ? good - bye ? johnny : how much longer -- how many more times can we agree to disagree ? can we just sweep the truth under the rug ? sometimes love just is n't enough . people are different . and i love you , and i do n't want to hurt you , and you 're right . it seems to be all that i 'm doing these days . so i got to stop that . now . olivia : i will never regret one thing that 's passed between us . and you 're not going to live long enough to know how right it could have been . do n't get up . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] theo : do n't be fooled . underneath their apathetic exteriors lies raging indifference . these so - called professionals would rather see our rotting carcasses in these chairs than to lift a finger and perform a single exam . this hospital is the very definition of purgatory . i may as well be playing the damnation scene from `` faust . `` dante : or don giovanni engulfed by the flames of hell . theo : you know opera ? dante : yeah . come on . do n't act so surprised . theo : it 's not often i meet someone who shares my enthusiasm . dante : i got a thing for a tragic love story . theo : and what , may i ask , is your take on `` gotterdammerung `` ? i always felt that the drowning of siegfried would have been more effective earlier in the third act . dante : siegfried was stabbed , not drowned . by hagen . but then , you knew that , did n't you ? theo : just checking .

robin : maxie . maxie : robin ? patrick : get your hands off her . carly : mm . mm . so , what do you say -- [ sighs ] what do you say we order room service ? franco : uh , okay . [ chuckles ] i mean , i could eat . i feel like maybe we should go down to the restaurant . carly : uh , i 'm trying to avoid the restaurant , you know ? i 'm waiting for all the trauma to subside . franco : what trauma ? carly : oh ! well , my , uh , psycho ex - brother - in - law decided to reappear and take my mother hostage . franco : i 'm sorry . carly : mm . franco : you okay ? carly : yeah . i 'm fine . my mother 's fine . jerry -- well , jerry 's probably dead . i think . i do n't know . he always finds a way to survive somehow . i mean , i spent the morning debating on whether i should call jax and his mother and tell them everything that 's happened . i mean , i know i eventually have to , i 'm just really trying to hold off as long as possible . [ sighs ] franco : okay . so , i 'm your distraction . carly : yeah . you okay with that ? franco : oh , i 'm great with that . yeah . carly : ooh ! franco : well , maybe you 'd distract me . carly : why ? what 's going on ? franco : okay , well , look , it 's not the same as seeing your mother being held hostage , but ... my brand - new father does n't want anything to do with me . diane : michael , kiki . i 'm so glad you were in court the other day when the judge excluded the footage from the metro court . given your familial associations , i always think it 's important to have a good grasp of the law , especially when it comes to the admissibility of evidence . it 's so gratifying to see the judicial system at work . scott : that video was deemed inadmissible because it was incomplete . i would give my right arm to find out where the rest of that footage disappeared to . ava : carlos . it 's ava . call me , okay ? i know sabrina 's wedding was yesterday . i just want to know how you 're doing . sonny : shawn , did you find anything out about carlos rivera ? 'cause i need to know . we need to know when to make ... spinelli : gracious greetings . ellie : what took you so long ? spinelli : apologies . i had to secure childcare as i am forbidden to bring the baby here for fear of running into maxie . ellie : i am so sorry , damian . i completely forgot . were you able to find a suitable minder ? spinelli : yes , uh , fortunately , uh , mercedez , josslyn jacks ' nanny , was willing to watch the baby , and , uh , for her sake , i hope she does n't have to endure a repeat of last night 's events when maxie showed up . ellie : [ sighs ] poor , maxie . she was so upset when you were forced to deny her access . but it 's not like you had a choice . i mean , the judge 's edict was very clear . spinelli : that does n't make it easier for maxie . ellie : no . i know . being told she could n't see her daughter again -- it almost destroyed her . maxie : no . it ca n't be . robin : [ chuckles ] it is . i 'm here , maxie . maxie : stay away from me . carly : when did you see scott ? franco : uh , uh , he stopped by before to tell me that , you know , he and i were never gon na have a relationship and he kind of wants to break up and ... carly : okay , stop . franco : ... see other people . carly : stop , stop , stop , stop , stop , stop . hey , i saw the look on his face when heather made her big announcement . that guy had no clue , you know ? so maybe once he absorbs everything and it all settles -- franco : then we 'll go to the father / son picnic ? i do n't think so . he 's worried about public appearance . he -- he feels like , as a district attorney , he should distance himself from his newfound serial - killer son . that 's -- that 's me . i 'm the -- carly : scott is a weasel . he always has been . franco : oh , okay . what happened to `` maybe he should have some time to absorb this `` and `` give him a chance `` ? carly : i 'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt , but , clearly , he does n't deserve it . franco : how well do you know this guy ? carly : he 's an old friend of my mom 's . you know , she swears there 's good in scotty , but , to be honest , he 's known for just looking out for himself . franco : yeah , well , he should give me a chance before he files me under the , uh , `` i 'm a p.r . disaster `` column . carly : you know , you should n't write him off just yet . i mean , you should n't . your -- your father may have his failings , but , you know , you guys could still have a relationship . you could . franco : [ chuckling ] you 're totally confusing me . carly : i know . franco : and now you 're , like , super optimistic . carly : i just have experience in this department . franco : what are you talking about ? carly : well , i 'm adopted . and -- and i did n't meet my biological father till i was an adult , and we did n't exactly hit it off . franco : is he also a politician and he 's worried about his public persona ? carly : [ chuckles ] close . he was a federal prosecutor , and he was trying to put sonny away . franco : sorry . carly : yeah . franco : it must have been very difficult . carly : it was . you know , sonny is michael and morgan 's father , so that did n't really create a great father / daughter bond . but we eventually got close . franco : so , you have a great relationship with your father ? carly : unfortunately , no . after we reached an understanding , my father was killed in a shootout . ava : sonny . it 's lovely to run into you . i have n't seen you since ... franco 's art show . sonny : no , you have n't . ava : i 'm sorry . i know it was a very unpleasant evening for you . it really is too bad that you and morgan argued . sonny : you and your lowlife brother convinced my son to put a bug in my office , so basically , you turned him against me . ava : morgan makes his own decisions . and if those decisions happen to hurt you , i 'm sorry . sonny : you 're so smug . you and your brother hit a couple shipments , and you think you can run this town . you got to understand something . you hit me , i hit you back . ava : what exactly is that supposed to mean ? carlos : hey , take it easy . patrick : take it easy ? does this work in your world ? because it does n't work in mine . sabrina : okay , look -- carlos : what did you just say ? sabrina : let 's just take a step back . patrick : is this how you treat your great loves , carlos ? you take advantage of them when they 're hurt and vulnerable ? carlos : i 'm not the one who took advantage of sabrina . patrick : you know damn well we were supposed to be married last night . when that did n't happen , that 's when you make your move ? what kind of man are you ? carlos : twice the man you 'll ever be . patrick : oh , is that right ? then why do n't we go outside , and we can figure this out ? carlos : do n't try and ease your conscience by showing up here and playing hero , doc . sabrina : patrick -- okay , stop . just stop ! nobody took advantage of me , okay ? i came here because i wanted to . spinelli : something must have happened . you said you had big news . ellie : i do . actually , i - i have a plethora of big news . [ chuckles ] spinelli : oh . so , something else ? something other than what precipitated the phone call ? ellie : yeah . and -- and i feel like i should tell you this first , assuming , of course , you have n't already heard it , in which case , you 'd probably be telling me , so in all likelihood -- spinelli : ellie , darling , just tell me . [ chuckles ] ellie : it has to do with robin . spinelli : uh ... robin of -- of batman and robin ? is he getting his own franchise ? holy summer blockbuster ! [ chuckles ] ellie : no , no . not -- not robin the trusty sidekick of the caped crusader . it 's about your friend dr. robin scorpio drake . spinelli : what about her ? ellie : she 's alive . [ chuckles ] robin : maxie , it 's okay . let me just explain everything . maxie : no ! no , i do n't care what you have to say . what ? did georgie send you ? robin : what ? georgie ? maxie : god , she only sent you because she thinks that i 'll do what you say like you 're the only person that can get through to me , but forget it , okay ? no ghost is gon na tell me what to do . robin : maxie , i 'm not a ghost . maxie : yes , you are ! you died in that lab explosion , and i would know because it was my fault . i caused it . my purse got caught on that gas line , but not before i made some dramatic exit where i called you selfish , which would be funny if it was n't so tragic , because we all know that i 'm the selfish one here , and it would be better off if i were dead . robin : no ! maxie , listen to me . maxie ! maxie : no ! i - i do n't care what you have to say . robin : just stop it ! [ slaps maxie ] maxie : i ca n't believe that you just slapped me . you 're supposed to be nice . wh -- wait a second . you just slapped me . you 're really here . [ chuckles ] you 're alive ? robin : maxie , i 'm alive . maxie : robin ! [ crying ] robin : it 's all right . maxie : [ sniffles ] ava : are you suggesting that you 're gon na come after me ? sonny : it 's not your bone marrow that danny needs . ava : what about your son ? michael loves my daughter . if you were to kill me , kiki would be destroyed . how would you explain that to michael ? sonny : well , that 's my problem , not yours . but from what i understand , uh , your daughter 's not very attached to you , so if something did happen to you ... [ clicks tongue ] uh , kiki and michael would just , you know -- they 'd be fine . ava : sonny ! you do n't want to do this , not with everything i 'm doing for you . sonny : what are you talking about ? ava : why do you think i 'm here ? i 'm here to testify against aj . franco : so , that 's your point , right ? carly : mm . franco : that if i 'm lucky , maybe , somewhere down the road , i might have a relationship with scotty , and then i can watch my father die in a hail of gunfire . carly : okay . [ scoffs ] franco : that 's your point ? carly : i know it 's a depressing story -- franco : oh , my . are you kidding ? i have to go watch the first 20 minutes of `` bambi `` just to cheer myself up . carly : there is a point to my story . franco : what could your point possibly be ? what ? that life sucks ? that -- that -- that it 's hopeless and -- carly : no , no . that , you know , yeah , i wanted more time with my dad . i wanted a better relationship with my father , but , you know , not everyone gets ward cleaver or cliff huxtable as their dad . hell , i got arnie becker . franco : that 's beautiful . you should consider a career in greeting cards . carly : there is a moral to this admittedly depressing story . franco : what is it ? carly : i do n't need to focus on the father that i did n't have . i can focus -- i can focus on the good things in my life , like my kids , and my job , and -- thank you . franco : you 're welcome . maybe i should do that , huh ? i should focus on , um , the fact that i 'm homeless and -- nice -- that , uh , i 've sent out a million résumés , and i ca n't get a job and that my father does n't want to have anything to do with me and that my mother -- carly : hmm . i 'm here . franco : are you ? carly : mm - hmm . franco : that 'll be enough , you know ? you do make my life worth living . sabrina : okay . okay . i ran to carlos on the pier last night . i was upset , patrick . i needed somebody to talk to , and carlos was there to talk . that 's all there was . patrick : sabrina , you ca n't believe that he brought you here just to talk to you . sabrina : well , look , no , not exactly , but -- carlos : sabrina , come on . you do n't owe this guy an explanation . sabrina : yes , i do , okay ? patrick , okay , we did n't just talk , but besides trying to drink my body weight in tequila , nothing happened , all right ? patrick : it did n't look like nothing . sabrina : okay , carlos kissed me , but i only -- i only responded as a reflex . but it did n't mean anything to me . patrick : can we please just go get some private time ? can we get your stuff , and can we just get out of here , please ? carly : why would she go anywhere with you ... after what you did to her last night ? spinelli : robin 's alive ? but h - how ? wh - where ? ellie : she 's here in port charles . apparently , she was being held captive for the last two years by a jerry jacks . her parents managed to free her , and she showed up to patrick and sabrina 's wedding . spinelli : talk about a dramatic entrance . [ chuckles ] ellie : yeah , it certainly sounded that way . spinelli : well , this is -- this is truly miraculous news . maxie : so , the entire time we thought you were dead , you were being held prisoner by jerry jacks ? robin : well , faison and obrecht are to blame , as well , but , no , it was jerry . he 's the one that orchestrated the whole thing . maxie : that means the -- the lab explosion was not my fault . robin : no . it was n't . the whole thing , the explosion -- it was all staged . even if your bag had caught on the gas jet , it -- it still would n't have been your fault . i mean , it would have been an accident , plain and simple . maxie : do you know how many people have tried to tell me that ? [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] but i could n't hear them . it -- it had to be you . you are the only person who could get through to me . oh , robin , not only have i missed you so much that it hurt , but i 've -- i 've really needed you . you have no idea how much . [ sniffles ] robin : maxie , when i first got here , you said to not talk you out of it . what did you mean ? why did you come here ? did -- did you come here to take those pills ? ava : you remember our conversation a few months back ? i was with aj the night of the murder . i witnessed his drunken rage at the floating rib . you asked me to tell the police what i knew . i obliged . sonny : and what ? is that supposed to mean something to me ? ava : i keep my promises , even to you . i hope you think about that , sonny . there 's no reason we have to be enemies . judge chua : now that the jury is seated , we may proceed . counselor , call your next witness . scott : the state calls ava jerome to the stand . bailiff : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? ava : of course , i do . kiki : [ sighs ] patrick : you do n't know what you 're talking about . carlos : oh , drop the outraged - fiancé act , doc . you do n't get the moral high ground here . you stranded sabrina at the altar . sabrina : carlos , stay out of it . carlos : i 'm already in it . it is my shoulder you were crying on last night , and is n't this exactly what i told you would happen ? his dead wife shows up , and patrick forgets all about you . patrick : sabrina , that is not true . carlos : oh , it 's not ? [ chuckles ] oh , is that why you 're here ? [ gasps ] have you come to tell us that you 've chosen sabrina over your wife ? robin : you had a baby with spinelli ? wow . i really have missed a lot these past two years . [ chuckles ] maxie : yeah . and you can go ahead and say it -- typical maxie . i 'm in over my head . except this time , instead of just screwing up my life , i messed up dante and lulu 's and spinelli 's ... and worst of all , our daughter 's . all because i acted without thinking . robin : i would n't say that . it sounds like you did a lot of thinking . maxie : yeah , and it was all wrong . robin : no . it was n't . you were , at every turn , maxie , looking out for your friends and trying to make them happy . i mean , i understand it did n't turn out the way that you would have wanted , but everything that you did , you did out of love . maxie : you really think so ? robin : i 'm the person that tells you the truth , remember ? maxie : yeah . robin : [ sighs ] maxie : thank you , robin . that does mean a lot that you said that . but it does n't change the fact that i ca n't see my daughter . robin : but you said that 's not permanent , right ? maxie : well , it might be . i mean , if i go near her in the next six months , i will be arrested . robin : it will be difficult to stay away , but it 's not impossible . maxie : how do you know ? robin : i did n't see emma for almost two years . maxie : [ sighs ] if there was any doubt about me being selfish , i think i just proved it . robin : no , no , no , no . i did n't -- no . i do n't mean it that way . i - i just -- i brought it up , because i want you to know i - i understand exactly how you feel . i mean , every single day , i woke up and thought , `` if i do n't get to see emma today , i 'm not gon na make it . `` but i did . maxie : yeah , but you 're the strongest person that i know . robin : [ chuckles ] you 're gon na survive . i promise you . and as strong as you think i am , you 're even stronger . spinelli : robin 's return will no doubt be a great comfort to maxie . i mean , they were -- they are so close -- i mean , more like sisters than cousins by marriage , and the timing is auspicious . i 've been kind of worried about maxie 's state of mind . ellie : maxie has had a truly horrible year . spinelli : i mean , ever since the judge unexpectedly granted me sole custody , i - i feel guilty about keeping maxie from her daughter . ellie : but if you defy the judge 's ruling , your daughter could be taken away from you . then she would n't have either of her parents . spinelli : i know . intellectually , i know that , but i just -- i hate seeing maxie in pain . but maybe robin 's return will lessen that . another reason to rejoice . [ chuckles ] ellie : i told you ! i had really big news . [ chuckles ] spinelli : right , but ... that was n't the reason you called , right ? you had other big news . ellie : uh , yeah . ri - right . i do . spinelli : okay , well , do n't keep me in suspense . what is it ? franco : starting to feel a whole lot better about my relationship with my father . carly : give me time , i 'll make you forget about your mother . franco : okay , um ... carly : [ chuckles ] oh ! franco : it 's good if we set a boundary , right , like , some rules ? like we never , never , never , never , ever , certainly not in bed , mention my mother . carly : i 'm sorry . okay , i 'm sorry . yes , i know . i know . yeah , you did n't exactly win the , uh , parental lottery . but at least heather 's out of your life , right ? you have n't heard from her , have you ? heather : someday you 'll understand that everything i do , everything -- i do it for you ! franco : i do n't care . you stay away from carly . carly : hello ? have you heard from her ? franco : no . not a peep . carly : good . i 'm glad you have n't heard from her . i mean , after she threatened me at the art show , i 'm so glad that loon is locked up . i mean , after all , what can heather do to me from miscavige ? scott : ms. jerome , would you describe to the jury your encounter with aj quartermaine on the night of august 23 , 2013 ? ava : with pleasure . i ran into aj at the floating rib . he was ranting about losing control of elq . he was completely irrational . diane : objection . speculation . judge chua : sustained . scott : did the defendant mention connie ? ava : yes , he did , at length . in fact , she was the focus of his rage . he blamed her for all that had gone wrong in his life . i have no doubt that he killed her . diane : objection . ms. jerome 's opinion is completely irrelevant . judge chua : sustained . ms. jerome , please limit your ... michael : did your mom say anything to you about testifying ? kiki : ever since she convinced morgan to betray your father , no , i have n't exactly been picking up her phone calls . scott : no further questions , your honor . judge chua : your witness , ms. miller . diane : other than an idle conversation with my client in a bar , do you have any actual proof as to who killed connie falconeri ? ava : no . i do n't . diane : no further questions , your honor . franco : might be a good time for me to ask ... carly : what ? franco : how do you feel about burgers in bed ? carly : oh , yeah . [ laughs ] [ cell phone rings ] carly : wow . yes . [ sighs ] okay , whoever that is , you tell them i want a metro burger with tons of pickles . franco : hello ? um ... yeah , this is franco . ow . um ... [ laughs ] yeah , i did apply for the teaching position . what ? today ? you want me to come by today ? heather : [ high - pitched ] it 's imperative that you come to our office immediately . yes , if things go well , i see a fantastic future for us . franco : great . i 'm on my way . carly : who was that ? franco : that was the dean at pcu . they want to talk to me about a teaching position today . which is weird , 'cause i just dropped off my résumé today . carly : that is fantastic ! i mean , being an art teacher would be perfect for you . franco : right , because those who ca n't do , teach . carly : oh , my gosh . i did not say that , and that 's not what i meant . i am so happy for you i 'm not even gon na say , `` i told you so . `` franco : well , you -- you kind of just did . but why -- why are you so happy for me ? carly : well , because i told you everything would turn around . franco : you know , it 's not nice to gloat . carly : [ laughs ] franco : it 's not . i 'm gon na let it slide just this once . i 'm gon na go take a shower . carly : oh , no . you do n't have to take a shower yet . you have to let me show you how happy i am for you . ellie : i 've been offered a job . spinelli : well , congratulations . that -- that 's great . what kind of job ? ellie : it 's at a research lab -- state - of - the - art , cutting - edge technology , and i would run it . spinelli : the chance to run your own lab ? that 's your dream job ! [ smooches ] ellie : uh , yeah . no , i know . i know , uh , which is why it 's gon na be so hard to turn down . spinelli : well -- i 'm sorry . you lost me . why would you -- why on earth would you turn down a chance to have your dream job ? ellie : because of you . maxie : i - i ca n't believe that you are here . robin : that makes two of us . i - i thought i would never get free . maxie : oh . [ chuckles ] not just -- not just in port charles , although that is amazing , but i 'm talking about the fact that you showed up at the cemetery when i needed you the most . i mean , how did you find me ? robin : i did n't mean to , actually . i ... came here to check out my memorial ... as morbid as that is . but then , i do n't know . something -- someone , some kind of a presence -- i do n't know . it just led me here . i -- however it happened , i 'm glad . maxie : me , too . robin : [ chuckles ] maxie : oh , god . it 's so good to see you . [ sniffles ] and not that i 'm complaining , but , um , now that you 're home , why are you hanging out in the cemetery ? why are n't you spending every second you have with patrick and emma ? robin : there 's a bit of a problem with that . maxie : oh , god . the wedding . robin : i got to the church at the very beginning of the ceremony , and i watched patrick and sabrina say their vows to each other . i do n't know . i just froze . i stood at the back of the church , and i let the ceremony go on , and -- [ sighs ] maxie : wait , so -- so patrick actually married sabrina ? robin : well , technically , no . just before lucy was about to pronounce them man and wife , emma saw me . [ chuckles ] and she ran to me , and i just -- i held onto her so tight like i would never let her go , and , well , that stopped the entire wedding . maxie : that must have been awkward . [ chuckles ] robin : you can say that again . and now i 'm just -- i 'm not sure if i 'm the one that gets to be a family with patrick again or if he 's ... starting a new family with sabrina . patrick : this has nothing to do with you . what happened last night is between sabrina and me . carlos : yeah , but does n't sabrina at least deserve an answer ? i mean , just to clarify things at the hospital so when you ask her to change a bedpan , she knows if it 's a doctor asking or her fiancé . sabrina : carlos , shut up ! patrick is right . this has nothing to do with you , all right ? carlos : i 'm just looking out for you , sabrina . i do n't want this guy jerking you around anymore . sabrina : okay , look , what happened at our wedding was completely crazy , and to ask patrick to process that in 24 hours is not fair . patrick , i understand if you have n't sorted everything out yet . the -- the last thing i want to do is ask you to choose between robin and me . patrick : i appreciate that . sabrina : but with that said , i - i have to agree with carlos on this . i think i deserve an answer . patrick : of course , you deserve an answer . and i would love to give you one , but ... sabrina , this is the craziest thing that 's ever happened , and i just -- i just need a little bit of time . sabrina : okay . patrick : listen to me . i am -- i am so sorry . it 's killing me that i hurt you , but ... can we just -- please , can we go home ? carlos : are you serious ? you 're gon na make up for leaving sabrina at the altar by giving her a ride ? patrick : i told you one more time , this has nothing to do with you . carlos : you made yourself real clear , doc . sabrina ai n't nothing more to you than a consolation prize . but she is my great love . i 'll be happy to make sure she gets home safe . sabrina : okay , you know what ? i 'm a grown woman . i can take myself home . patrick : sabrina ... please . sabrina , will you -- please ... carlos : nice work , doc . maxie : he refused to end things with sabrina ? robin : he could n't just walk away from her . i mean , he had said his vows to her . he really has feelings for her . maxie : what about his feelings for you ? robin : look , patrick does n't know what he wants . he does n't know what to do , okay ? and i 'm not sure what to do next , either . maxie : uh , yes , you do . are n't you the robin who just told me that i - i could get through anything , the woman who just survived for two years without her family , who beat death ? robin : okay , you 're not gon na slap me , are you ? maxie : no . [ chuckles ] no . but i am gon na tell you what to do . patrick is your husband . you are gon na fight for him . robin : you 're right . i did n't fight my way out of being held hostage just to concede defeat . i am a better woman than that . maxie : damn right you are . robin : and so are you . maxie , please promise me , no matter how bad things get , no matter what happens , that you will never think about taking pills ever again . now that i 'm back in the world , the last thing i want is for you not to be in it with me . maxie : you do n't have to worry . we 're both gon na be around for a long time . spinelli : ellie , why would you turn down your dream job because of me ? ellie : because said job is in portland , oregon . spinelli : portland . ellie : my would - be employers want someone to completely overhaul the lab . i mean , i would get to institute all of my own protocols . it would be a truly amazing opportunity , but i have no choice but to turn it down . spinelli : well , i do n't -- i do n't understand . why would n't you jump at the chance for this kind of job ? ellie : damian , we just got back together , and even more , we 've recommitted ourselves to each other . i want to enjoy our relationship . i do n't want to try to maintain it from 3,000 miles apart . spinelli : maybe you wo n't have to . ellie : [ chuckles ] as much as i appreciate your love of skype , i really do n't want to kiss a computer screen goodnight . spinelli : no , i - i agree . a digital image pales in comparison to your warmth , but i - i was n't referring to skype . ellie : damian , what -- what are you saying ? spinelli : i 'm saying maybe i could go with you . kiki : what the hell was that ? ava : well , i was simply telling the truth . kiki : you tell the truth ? how can you even say that with a straight face ? ava : kiki , let 's not fight . i do n't want to fight with you . i want to talk to you . it 's been so long since we 've talked . kiki : that 's because i have n't been returning your phone calls . ava : well , now i do n't have to call you . i can ask you right to your face . would you like to have lunch with me ? i hear they make a - a terrific tuna carpaccio at the metro court . what do you say ? your favorite . will you have lunch with me ? kiki : i 'll pass . you have lunch by yourself . i have to stay here with michael . shawn : ms. jerome . michael : [ sighs ] hey , dad . sonny : i want to talk to my son . is that okay ? aj : go ahead . sonny : it 's not looking good . diane managed to have the surveillance footage thrown out , but the tide 's turning as you can probably feel , right ? michael : hey , do you think we can table this , okay ? i do n't think this is gon na do any good to talk about this right now . sonny : i know you got some misguided loyalty , because he 's your biological father , but i 'm just asking you , you know , just to watch yourself and prepare yourself . you 're going down . aj : [ sighs ] michael , he 's right . listen to me . hey . you got to prepare yourself . michael : it 's not over yet . judge chua : [ bangs gavel ] mr. baldwin , call your next witness . scott : the state calls ballistic expert thomas anderson from the new york crime lab . carly : wow . franco : it 's okay ? carly : i 'd hire you , keep you under my direct supervision , and make you take your pants off a lot , yeah . franco : uh ... is that a full - time job ? carly : [ chuckles ] yep . franco : well ... carly : mm . franco : you never got your burger , did you ? carly : oh , i am more than satisfied . franco : well , that 's nice to hear . but if you want to , you know , feel free to call room service and put it on my tab that you pay . carly : mm - hmm . [ chuckles ] i will . i think i just might . franco : nice to have you in my bed . you 're welcome anytime . carly : knock 'em dead . ellie : you would come to portland with me ? spinelli : yeah , why -- why not ? i 'm committed to preserving the environment , and , as i 'm sure you 're aware , portland is the greenest city in america . ellie : yes , a classification which greatly influenced my decision to apply there . spinelli : it 's known for having an eclectic cultural life . there 's a plethora of microbreweries . ellie : the unofficial city motto is `` keep portland weird . `` spinelli : sounds like we 'd fit right in . ellie : [ laughs ] what about the baby ? spinelli : well , she 'd come with us . she 's portable . i mean , she does come with a great deal of accessories , uh , but i think i read somewhere that portland has an abundance of city parks . maybe we could find a place to live that 's walking distance . ellie : damian , we would be leaving everyone we know , which is something else we would really need to consider . and even if we could leave all of our friends and family behind , how could we do this to maxie ? maxie : do what to maxie ? carly : [ sighs ] well , talk about a stress reliever . [ beep ] [ water running ] scott : in your analysis , there is no doubt that this is the murder weapon , previously established to contain aj quartermaine 's fingerprints all over it ? mr. anderson : no doubt whatsoever . scott : thank you , mr. anderson . no further questions . judge chua : your witness , ms. miller . diane : we have no questions for this witness , your honor . aj : [ scoffs ] wait a minute . wait a second . wait a minute . you 've got to say something to him . diane : stop it . no , i do n't . this guy 's testimony , however damning it may seem , is based totally on circumstantial evidence . any cross examination i might do would only give credence to the prosecution 's case . better let the jury think this guy 's not worth our time . judge chua : mr. baldwin . scott : the prosecution rests . judge chua : ms. miller , you may call your first witness . diane : the defense has no witnesses to call , your honor . aj : whoa , whoa . hang on a second . wait , wait , wait . i do n't mean to disagree with my lawyer -- wait a second -- but the defense will call one witness -- me . sonny : what did you find out about carlos rivera ? shawn : well , carlos rivera has no connection to lily 's family . sonny : then we can proceed as planned , take care of him . patrick : as a doctor , i have to tell you that head injuries can mess with your sense of direction . you go anywhere near sabrina , and you 're a dead man . carlos : [ chuckles ] [ knock on door ]

[ scene_break ] alexis : you 're blackmailing me ? julian : mm , let 's call it tough love . alexis : so , if i do n't do what you want , you 'll go to the ethics committee and tell them that i ran you over with my car ? julian : which you did -- when you were drunk and about to get on a public road , where you could have jeopardized many lives . alexis : your concern for the greater good is truly one of your finest qualities . julian : well , i think so , but i also think it 's a fair trade - off -- um , you know , considering the fact that , uh , the ethics committee is really the least of your concerns . i mean , [ chuckles ] the commissioner 's been coming by here asking all kids of questions . she is dying to find out how i ended up in this bed . alexis : do n't you just love irony ? i mean , you , of all people , wanting to involve the police . sam : mom ? [ scene_break ] valentin : i 've explained to charlotte that santa is magical and he can bring her anything she wants for christmas , with the exception of a purple unicorn . nina : oh , i think maybe we can get some purple unicorns out there . valentin : no , not a real unicorn that she can ride , but a pony is not only doable but imminent , as we have recently moved into a big house with stables . kevin as santa : is that what you want for christmas , charlotte ? a pony ? charlotte : there 's only one thing i want ... ... my mommy . dante : oh , hey . what are you doing ? laura : hey , did you find rocco 's christmas list ? hey . what ? lulu ? lulu : who 's that little girl ? laura : i think that might be valentin 's little girl . dante : have n't you met her before ? lulu : no . no , i have n't . dante : rocco , no ! lulu : wait ! wait ! valentin : hello , rocco , we meet again .

[ scene_break ] curtis : so , this van right here belonged to julian 's company , which could mean a few different things . jason : uh , well , maybe whoever planted the bomb wanted to cover their tracks , so , using one of julian 's vans makes it harder to track back to the source . curtis : or it could simply be just a disgruntled employee trying to prove a point -- maybe he got laid off or something and , uh , kept the keys to the company 's trucks . jason : i guess we 're gon na have to have a little chat with the driver . curtis : great , but how are we gon na get him down here ? jason : we could call the garage attendant , tell him something 's wrong with the van , he calls the driver . but we 're gon na have to sell it . curtis : right , right , right , like , we could say something like the van got hit and we wanted to be responsible citizens , so we want to pay for the damage . jason : mm - hmm . sounds like a plan to me . curtis : yes , sir . so , now we call . jason : no . i told you , we have to sell it .

[ scene_break ] nelle : you know , there 's nothing going on between me and michael . kiki : oh , so , you 're just going with him to his family 's benefit as a friend ? nelle : you know , i think he just took pity on me . my job 's basically 24/7 , so i think he just wanted me to have a night out for myself , have fun . kiki : yeah . that sounds like michael . he was always really thoughtful . oh , my god , this one time , he surprised me with a ... you know ... never mind . nelle : you and michael ? kiki : yeah . yeah . nelle : was this before or after morgan ? kiki : in between . i was with morgan when i came to port charles , and , uh , we even got married . nelle : whoa . so , you -- so you were carly and sonny 's , uh , daughter - in - law ? kiki : [ chuckles ] briefly . then michael and i happened , and , uh , it was all just a big mess , really . uh , michael and i broke up because i hurt him . nelle : so , then you went back to morgan ? kiki : i did , yeah . uh , but the real reason that michael and i broke up was because i was keeping a huge secret from him . [ scene_break ] dante : i told you , i do n't want you to approach my kid . valentin : for the record , your boy approached me . dante : oh , yeah ? nina : um , uh , i think that we can all agree that we want the kids to have a good time with santa , and , um , parents fighting would ruin that , right ? laura : i could n't agree more . in the interest of peaceful coexistence , you could encourage valentin to leave . nina : no , i would n't dream of that . kevin : if you 'll excuse the santa shrink - speak , i think this is an excellent moment to practice radical acceptance . laura : i think you might have to explain that . kevin : it means accepting the current situation as it is , that it exists and that you ca n't control it , but you can control your attitude , where you choose to put your emphasis . lulu : hi , charlotte . i 'm lulu . you are such a beautiful little girl . wow , with such a pretty necklace . charlotte : mommy gave it to me for my birthday . lulu : is that right ? when is your birthday ? how old are you ? nina : oh , um , lulu , um , the only questions that charlotte should be answering right now is about what she wants for christmas .

[ scene_break ] laura : why do n't you kids treat santa to a cookie ? [ clears throat ] nina : okay , listen ... if you have a problem with valentin , i understand , but it does n't give you the right to interrogate his daughter . lulu : oh , um , nina , i - i do n't know if you 're aware of this , but you know that little girl is the cousin of my late brother , nikolas ? nina : i 'm sorry , i did n't think of that . lulu : it 's complicated . nikolas could have explained it better if he were here . valentin : an absence i 'm sure we all regret . but i agree with nina -- there 's no reason to interrogate my daughter . lulu : with a father like you , what more could she ask for ? valentin : my daughter is well - cared - for and i love her , just as i assume you love your little boy . the only thing missing in charlotte 's life is -- dante : her mother ? where 's her mother ? valentin : i have no idea . and what i was going to say was `` friends . `` i hope you 're open to the idea of a playdate . dante : [ scoffs ] wow . no .

[ scene_break ] nelle : so , what secret did you keep from michael ? kiki : [ sighs ] well , it was almost as awful as it was complicated , but suffice it to say , it involved my mother and michael 's father . but the point is that michael deserves someone who treats him better than i did . someone who brings him happiness . nelle : yeah . do n't we all ? i have your check . carly left it with me . kiki : thank you . nelle : you know , kiki , you 're taking this all really well . kiki : it was my choice to leave . it was time . nelle : but there 's been so much friction between you and carly , you know , especially about what happened with morgan . it would be completely understandable if there were some hard feelings there . kiki : i do n't have any hard feelings toward carly . i completely understand why it 's difficult for her to be around me . nelle : because of morgan ? kiki : did you ever tell carly that you talked to him that last night at the floating rib , that he told you that i was cheating on him ? nelle : no , no , no , no , no , no . no , i mean , everybody was already in so much pain , i did n't want to add to it . kiki : well , carly knows that i was going to break up with morgan to be with dillon . so does michael . and at first , they were furious and they really unloaded on me , but now -- i mean , you saw . they 're polite , kind , even . but they will never forget . and i do n't blame them . the kind of hurt and loss that they feel -- that ... that stays with you . nelle : yes , it does .

[ scene_break ] valentin : you got enough whipped cream there ? you ask them nicely , they might give you a can . nina : [ chuckles ] do you want a cookie to go with your hot chocolate ? charlotte : yes , please . nina : you do ? good ! um , why do n't you go over there and pick out the biggest cookie that you can find ? she 's precious . valentin : thank you . and thank you for stepping in earlier with lulu . i do n't know if you know this or not , but she 's one of the ones who swore an affidavit against me during my custody hearing . nina : uh , yes , i know . my soon - to - be sister - in - law , maxie , is best friends with lulu , and she tells me everything . she 's sort of like an am radio . and i mean that in a great , great way . valentin : oh , of course you do . nina : but you could have more than held your own with lulu . valentin : it 's difficult when someone invests that much energy into disliking you . anything you do or say can be misunderstood . nina : tell me about it . valentin : she tried to prevent me from getting custody of my daughter . nina : see , that 's the part i do n't understand . why would someone want to keep a child from their parent ? it 's disgusting . valentin : could n't agree more . nina : who is lulu , anyway ? i mean , why would she want to insinuate herself into charlotte 's life ? i do n't get it . we have to protect that little girl . [ scene_break ] sam : thank you for coming . molly : of course . it 's my pleasure . so what happened ? did your appointment end early ? sam : oh , dr. lee got called into a delivery , so we had to reschedule . molly : oh , well , thank you for calling me . nina : what happened ? sam : um ... you see that guy sitting with nina ? that 's our long - lost uncle valentin . [ scene_break ] lulu : sorry i was so distracted before . dante : yeah , what was up with that ? lulu : i do n't know . when i saw charlotte ... something came over me . i was just immediately drawn to her . i ca n't explain it . dante : i think i can . [ scene_break ] nelle : things have been pretty quiet around here so far . carly : okay . sorry , i did not mean to come into work so late . nelle : i report to you , not the other way around . carly : well , besides , i did n't mean to leave you hanging . just been a stressful day . nelle : everything okay ? carly : um , i went to sonny 's . nelle : oh . how , uh , how did he seem ? carly : distracted -- really distracted . and i ran into michael when i was there , and i gave you the night off for the 12th so you guys can go to the benefit . nelle : thanks . carly : hey , thank you . i 'm really happy that you and michael are friends . my son could use more people in his life like you . [ scene_break ] sonny : i think it 's nice that you 're taking nelle to the benefit , but i - it would be a good idea not to send mixed messages . michael : that 's not -- that 's not a problem . sonny : what do you mean ? michael : well , like i said , nelle and i are just friends . sonny : okay . michael : but you , on the other hand , though -- i think you need to focus on your relationship with mom , because from what i see , things are getting better and better . sonny : i just -- i told you , she 's just coming by to pick up some presents . michael : but she could have sent me . she could -- she could have had max drive it over . she -- she came here because she wanted to see you , dad . mom knows you 're not responsible for what happened to morgan . and it 's only a matter of time before she works her way back to you . dad , trust me , the last thing mom wants is to punish you for something that you had no control over . sonny : thanks for the good talk . michael : all right . all right , i 'll see you . [ scene_break ] dante : of course , you 're gon na be drawn to charlotte . poor kid the last few months has been bouncing around like a pinball . her mother disappears . lulu : and i find out that we lost our last chance to have another child . dante : i think that might have something to do with it . i do n't know . am i close ? lulu : i think that what you 're saying makes sense . dante : you 're a very caring person , and charlotte 's been through a lot . and she 's got valentin for a father , and i think your instincts kicked in . lulu : maternal instinct . dante : those and the spencer ones . meddling in other people 's business , for all the right reasons . lulu : it is kind of our thing . dante : you wanted to protect charlotte . lulu : yeah . yeah , i 'm sure you 're right . that 's what it was . [ scene_break ] nina : [ chuckles ] [ inhales sharply ] [ chuckles ] what ? do i have whipped cream on my nose ? valentin : [ chuckles ] no . i do n't think you 've ever looked lovelier . nina : then why are you looking at me like that ? valentin : you said `` we . `` when you were talking about charlotte , you said , `` we need to take care of her . `` nina : oh , i 'm sorry , that was presumptuous . valentin : no ! no . i have so many enemies in this town . the idea that i 've got somebody standing beside me ... helping to take care of my daughter -- that means the world to me . nina : [ laughs ] so adorable . i have n't known your daughter that long , but i 'm completely taken with charlotte -- completely taken with her . she is so adorable . listen . it 's no secret that i want a child , but this -- how i feel -- has nothing to do with that . it 's not about me , it 's about her . i just -- i just want what 's best for her . well , now i know i have whipped cream on my face . valentin : no . i 'm just over here thanking my lucky stars . nina : why ? valentin : that night in the hotel , i could have so easily walked right past you , gone to my own room . would have saved me a lot of trouble . but there you were , fumbling with your hotel key . there was something about you , even then . i mean , obviously you 're charming and you 're beautiful , but it 's more than that . most people have an agenda . you do n't . you 're just honest about who you are and what you want . i like that . [ chuckles ] and i like you . more and more , i like you . [ scene_break ] sam : molly , what do you think you 're doing ? molly : i think i 'm about to go introduce myself to our uncle valentin and let him know how we feel about him killing nikolas . sam : hey , hey , do n't bother . he 's just gon na tell you it was all an unfortunate misunderstanding . besides , we have our own immediate family problems we have to address . molly : what kind of problems ? sam : oh , gosh , please , no . the baby is fine , but it is about someone i ran into at the hospital . mom was there visiting julian . molly : what ? why ? ! sam : well , she says that she was afraid that he was gon na die . molly : if only . sam : i know . unfortunately , i think there is another reason . molly : no . you do n't think she 's still -- sam : i know , yes , i think mom has a soft spot for julian still , yes . [ scene_break ] alexis : you want me to help you ? do what , exactly ? julian : well , i do n't know if you 've noticed , but i 'm not exactly mobile at the moment . and i 'm gon na be getting out of the hospital , and , you know , i 'm gon na need some help at home . alexis : they have nurses for that . julian : i 'm not talking about medical care , i 'm talking about my every basic need . you know , things such as , uh , eating and , uh , brushing my teeth , showering . alexis : are you kidding me ? julian : uh , do i look like i 'm kidding ? alexis : is this your ultimate form of punishment to make me spend every waking hour with you ? julian : well , you know , there was a time you would n't exactly think of this as punishment . alexis : well , that was before you held a knife to my throat . i do n't know about you , but for some people , that sours a relationship . julian : okay , alexis . [ sighs ] alexis : if you think that my playing florence nightingale 's going to make me come closer to you , think again . julian : mm . okay , how about you think about this ? you see , if i reveal that you were drunk and driving the car that ran me down , you 're not only gon na lose your license to practice law , you 're gon na lose your freedom , as well . [ scene_break ] man : what do you want to know ? jason : i want to know everything that happened the night of october 7th . curtis : you drove this van right here , right ? to the mini - mart across the street from the floating rib , you parked it , you left it there . why 'd you do all that ? man : because i was told to . that was my assignment for the night . jason : who told you ? man : my boss ... julian jerome . [ scene_break ] nelle : you know , carly , stop me if i 'm prying , but before , when you were talking about sonny , you seemed -- i do n't know -- kind of worried . carly : i know sonny . there 's something on his mind . there 's something going on with him . and now that i know he 's not responsible for morgan 's death , i , uh ... i do n't know . [ chuckles ] i do n't know . nelle : well , i hope you do n't mind if i say this , but , um , i really think you and sonny belong together . [ cell phone rings ] nelle : oh , god , i 'm sorry . carly : that 's okay . take it . nelle : hello ? sonny : it 's sonny . we need to talk . [ scene_break ] kevin : as much as i hate to admit it , i think valentin may have been right . laura : about what ? kevin : when he said that you 'll always be connected to him . laura : what do you mean ? kevin : you 'll always be connected to the cassadines because of nikolas , and charlotte is nikolas ' cousin . laura : nikolas is gone . i do n't have any connection to that little girl . shut up . kevin : i did n't say anything . laura : no , but you said nothing very loudly . and you 're right . as much as i hate the idea of being involved with valentin , part of me feels compelled to look out for that little girl . kevin : and why do you think that is ? laura : because she 's nikolas ' family . [ inhales sharply ] and that makes her my family . kevin : and there it is ... an amazing generosity of spirit . just one of the reasons i love you . [ knock on door ] boy : excuse me . but it 's been more than five minutes . if santa 's back , it 's my turn . lulu : i just remembered that aunt bobbie is working today . i 'm gon na go say hi to her . dante : all right , well , tell her i say hello , too . i 'm gon na go check on rocco , all right ? lulu : oh . mm . that 's a good idea . he 's probably in a sugar coma , which means -- yeah . dante : great , he 'll be up all night . lulu : mm - hmm . dante : totally crazy . crazy kid . lulu : yay ! [ laughs ] boy : hi , santa . dante : are you okay ? lulu : [ sighs ] it 's just charlotte -- there 's something . never mind . [ chuckles ] dante : okay . lulu : bye . all right . dante : all right . see you . [ scene_break ] nina : i keep on thinking about charlotte 's christmas wish , how she wants her mom . we ca n't get that for her . not even a purple unicorn can make up for missing your mother . valentin : i would n't worry about that . i think between you and me , we 're gon na make a fine christmas for charlotte . [ scene_break ] molly : do n't kill me for saying this , but i think maybe it was a good idea for mom to go see julian . sam : whoa , whoa , whoa , wait , what ? excuse me ? who are you , [ chuckles ] and what have you done to my sister molly lansing - davis , the president of i hate julian club ? molly : well , you know , i think it could just give her some closure . sam : closure , really ? molly : yeah , why not ? sam : um , because julian is a narcissist and any attention he 's given only encourages him . molly : well , yeah , but that 's better than the alternative that mom could actually be starting to thaw . i mean , that ca n't even be a possibility , right ? the man tried to kill her . she ca n't forgive that . sam : i know . i know . i hope you 're right . i hope she knows what she 's doing . [ scene_break ] julian : so , do we have a deal ? alexis : so you 're gon na use my family , my career , my life , and my freedom to use as leverage to get me to do what you want me to do ? julian : if that 's what it takes , yes . alexis : okay . fine . then tell me one more time in that cold , smug smirk of yours how much you love me . julian : look , alexis , i -- alexis : not even in my fantasy ! which is the only way that i would do this . nobody 's gon na believe us , because they know how much i hate your guts . julian : well , i mean , you are a smart woman . you 'll ... think of something . alexis : well , fortunately , people we know are n't stupid enough to believe it . julian : well , i mean , what ? that you took pity on a man you once loved , even after everything that 's happened between us ? alexis : shut up . i figured it out . julian : great . so do we have a deal ? alexis : if i can keep this a secret ... julian : mm . [ groans ] alexis : ... yeah , we have a deal . [ scene_break ] curtis : yeah , that psycho act -- that was great . dude could n't get out of here fast enough . jason : yeah , i 'm pretty sure he 's more worried about julian than he is about me . curtis : well , if he 's smart , he 's halfway to canada by now . jason : yeah . it should n't take julian that long to figure out who ratted him out . curtis : yeah . uh , you know , now it makes sense why julian was so -- so -- so eager to have me stop the investigation . hell , this is only gon na add up one way . jason : julian had the guy park his van in front of the security cameras . curtis : yeah . which means julian planted the bomb in his own damn car . [ next_on ] nathan ( to maxie ) : sam ( to jason ) : are there still some things you want to do ? curtis ( to jordan ) : show me yours , and i 'll show you mine . anna ( to andré ) : i really need your help . edgar : no one 's leaving spoon island tonight . lulu ( to dante ) : why would i feel so strongly about a child i have never met until today ?

jax : courtney , i did n't just stumble upon this space . i picked it because i thought it would be perfect for your office . courtney : well , that 's incredibly thoughtful and generous , jax , but that 's exactly why i ca n't accept . jax : does this have something to do with -- is it , like , a pride issue , perhaps ? courtney : it 's not my pride . it 's -- it 's my feelings for you . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey . i came as soon as i got your message . what 's going -- ? nikolas : i 'm worried about emily . she was really upset when they took me back into custody . i 'm afraid she 's going to do something desperate . [ scene_break ] emily : ok , judge woods ? judge woods : mrs. cassadine ? emily : yes , that 's right . thank you for agreeing to meet with me . my husband does n't belong in prison , and i need to explain why . [ scene_break ] edward : skye , you just got out of the hospital . what are you doing working ? skye : oh , i 'm not . i 'm just looking at some of heather 's old phone records here and some personal paperwork she left behind . i 'm trying to find some clues to help luke find out where heather has laura stashed . edward : you almost died getting involved with that screwball . let him find his own wife . skye : i thought you liked laura spencer . lila told me you always had a nice relationship . edward : we did , but it does n't mean you have to get involved in this . you could end up breaking your own heart . skye : you think that luke wants laura back ? edward : yes , i do , honey . yes , i do . i think the minute he finds laura is when he 's going to show you the door . [ scene_break ] lucky : say we manage to find mom and we bring her back home . then what , dad ? luke : i do n't know . do n't futurize this . let 's just save her . lucky : fine , we save her . we save her from whoever heather left mom with . then what , dad ? luke : then she is n't in danger anymore . lucky : what about you ? hmm ? are we just going to take mom home ; maybe hope for some miracle ? then maybe she 'll wake up one morning , then maybe recognize you ? is that what you 're hoping ? that maybe she 'll even be able to remember your name ? are you going to take her back to some institute and try and get on with the rest of your life ? luke : i do n't know . [ scene_break ] justus : as i understand it , that file was destroyed last week . forensics found nothing but ashes . ric : i moved the file to another location . i had to make sure that the evidence was n't compromised before we made an arrest . carly : ok , he is lying . alexis used that file to try and blackmail sonny into giving her full custody . when he refused , then she gave it to ric . mac : that 's a pretty serious accusation . ric : of which carly has absolutely no proof . john : i 'm the one you should be arresting . ric : why is that ? john : i 'm the one who stole the file from sonny 's house in the first place . this is all my doing . i was helping carly move out of her husband 's penthouse . the file incriminating sonny was in my grandson 's box of comic books . i did n't have a warrant to search the premises , nor did i have an agreement with a judge . the incriminating file was a result of an illegal search and seizure , therefore inadmissible in court . sonny will have to be released . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i thought she was going to be all right , but she 's not . elizabeth : nikolas , emily wanted to marry you . nikolas : yeah , and her family warned her that it would break it heart , and it did . elizabeth : no , her heart is not broken . her love for you is the one thing she is certain about . nikolas : when the police came to take me back , she fell apart . she was crying , she was holding onto me , begging them not to let me go . elizabeth : of course it was a terrible moment . nikolas : it could be more than just a moment . it could be years , decades before i get out of here . elizabeth : she 'll handle it . nikolas : emily deserves a life , even if it does n't include me . she ca n't see what 's ahead . i ca n't see what 's ahead . but someday she might -- you know , she might meet someone else , someone she wants to have a family with , and i have to -- elizabeth : ok , nikolas , stop , ok ? emily will always love you , just as you will always love her . nikolas : i just keep seeing her face when they took me away , liz . she was devastated . elizabeth : you need to have a little faith in her . emily is amazingly strong , and she promised to love you for better or worse , and she will . [ scene_break ] emily : nikolas killed helena to save my life . i would have sworn that under oath if the case had gone to trial . judge woods : mr. cassadine confessed to throwing his grandmother off a cliff . emily : helena had tried to kill me more than once . she put a knife to my throat and she tried to shove me over the side of a cliff . judge woods : mr. cassadine stopped her , and , by his own admission , the knife had fallen from her hand the time -- emily : he was protecting me . nikolas is a good and moral person . his grandmother was a psychopath . judge woods : the law does n't see it that way . emily : helena swore that she would keep trying to kill me until she succeeded . it was n't an idle threat . she had killed before , and she always managed to avoid prosecution . emily : ask the police for a copy of helena cassadine 's file . do n't try to read it all . just skim the headlines and a portrait will emerge -- not of a woman who 's frail and helpless , but of a truly evil woman . please , consider the history and the character of this so - called victim before you sentence my husband . judge woods : all right . i wo n't promise anything , but i 'll look into it further . emily : thank you . thank you . [ scene_break ] skye : luke is not just going to toss me aside when he finds laura , ok ? he 's been incredibly loyal to me . he 's been on my side like nobody else in my life ever has . edward : you 're kidding yourself , darling , just like i did about heather . the whole family warned me . i did n't listen to them . i put us all through hell . skye : yes , well , luke is no heather . edward : no , but he can still break your heart . skye : you 're the one who said that luke abandoned me when i was convicted this summer and sent to pentonville . and as it turns out , luke was locked in some psych ward , too drugged up to function . but when i said he 'd come back for me , you said that i had blinders on , and yet luke managed to escape and come save me . and just now , when heather drugged me and left me to die , luke is the one who came and saved my life . edward : i know . i 'm aware of that . skye : then why do you find it so hard to believe that luke actually cares about me ? edward : darling , i 'm sure he cares about you . i mean , who would n't ? you 're beautiful and you 're brave and you 're resilient . skye : yeah ? well , then you have to trust me to make my own decisions . edward : i 'm just concerned about this as much as he cares about you . laura is the love of his life . why do you want to settle for leftovers from a man who ca n't give up on his wife ? [ scene_break ] luke : stop making this so complicated . your mother is n't safe . we need to find her . lucky : i 'm just worried about your expectations , dad . luke : i do n't have any expectations . lucky : you 're still in love with mom . you would 've traded your soul to bring her back . and you did for a while . luke : ok , you save this for the essay questions . this is a simple yes or no -- will you use your badge to get me into ferncliff so i can talk to heather ? lucky : dad , listen , how far are you willing to go ? you want to go back to jail ? you want to go back to the bottle ? are you willing to sacrifice just to connect with a woman that does n't even exist anymore ? luke : ok , i 'm going to take this as a `` no , i wo n't help you . `` lucky : no , dad , listen , all i 'm trying to say -- luke : no , no , it 's ok ! do n't worry about it ! you be a cop , hold your head up high . i 'll take care of this myself ! lucky : yeah , and what happens when you do find mom and she 's not any better ? because that is reality ! she 's never going to get better . luke : i do n't know what 's going to happen , son . i ca n't see that far ahead . and neither can you . [ scene_break ] brook lynn : hi . mike : hey . brook lynn : i 'm sorry ; do you have a minute to talk ? mike : well , back from your runaway road trip to mexico . you in trouble again ? diego : no , look , i 'm not looking for trouble . i have , actually , questions about sonny . mike : oh , do n't tell me you still want to work for him . diego : no , it 's not that . mike : then what ? what ? brook lynn : look , diego 's father was killed when he was a baby . mike : well , i 'm sorry , but what does that have to do with sonny ? diego : my father had a powerful enemy , ok , who might have killed him . all i know about this enemy -- whoever it might be -- he lives in port charles right now . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : let me get this straight . i sent a fax to luke , which you intercepted , and then faxed me back to set up this meeting ? dillon : well -- yeah . lorenzo : pretending you were luke ? dillon : yeah , i mean , you know , it was kind of a cryptic fax . you did n't even sign it or anything . lorenzo : so you decided to play detective ? dillon : no , i just -- you know , luke 's a good guy . i just figured that we did n't want him to get into too much trouble . lorenzo : did it occur to you to ask luke who sent the fax ? georgie : well , luke was out , so we decided we 'd take care of it for him . lorenzo : ah . well , it may reassure you to hear that that cryptic fax was to set up a meeting to finalize the repayment of a loan i made to your friend luke . dillon : oh . georgie : i 'm really sorry we bothered you . dillon : yeah . lorenzo : apology accepted . dillon : hey , you know , it 's funny because it was a really cool logo that you had on the fax there , and i thought that i had seen it before , but i was n't sure exactly where from . lorenzo : well , i 'm sure you saw it when you were visiting sage . it started off as the alcazar cattle brand , then became the corporate logo . listen , no more cloak - and - dagger games , ok ? dillon : no , yeah , no , we 're done with that . sorry . we wo n't -- wait a minute . so this is the same thing as alcazar 's corporate logo . georgie : so alcazar 's symbol is the key to diego 's past ? [ scene_break ] ric : well , it 's only natural to want to shield your grandchildren from the ordeal of seeing their father tried , sentenced , then convicted , but before you make a formal statement , mr. durant , i think maybe you should consider everything that you have at stake . john : i realize there will be consequences . ric : you 'll be cited for obstruction of justice . you will go before the bar . you career will be over . so maybe you should take a second here and evaluate exactly what you have at stake . [ scene_break ] jason : here comes stan . sonny : with the tape of durant talking to meyer ? jason : yeah , admitting that he stole the file . stan : and i made copies . jason : ok , ric -- his case has disappeared against you no matter how this plays out . [ scene_break ] john : i tipped you to go to the jetty docks on the morning of november 18 . i arranged for the file to be in plain sight . i watched from around the corner as you approached the passerby in the dark suit , thinking he had placed the anonymous call . i know what i stand to lose . i 'm ready to make a statement , suffer the consequences . my only regret is that i will most likely lose my daughter . [ scene_break ] mike : how old were you when your father died ? diego : 1 or 2 . i do n't remember him . mike : all right . sonny and i were estranged at that time . so i 'm sorry , there 's nothing i can tell you . diego : well , how about later ? did sonny ever mention someone he had to get rid of ? mike : look , sonny has never confided in me about his business . diego : there 's got to be a way i could find out . mike : diego , listen to me -- stay away from sonny . he 's a decent man , but he can be very dangerous when he 's crossed . brook lynn : look , diego , maybe we should leave this alone . diego : no , no way . brook lynn : no , wait , what if mike is right about sonny ? diego : this is my family . i need to know the truth . i 'm not going to run off like a scared rabbit just because things get a little risky . brook lynn : yeah , well , what if it 's a little bit more than `` a little bit `` ? lorenzo : sorry to interrupt . i need to speak to you privately . diego : do you mind ? brook lynn : no problem . diego : if this is about a job , the answer 's yes . lorenzo : you wo n't be working for me now or ever . diego : what do you want ? lorenzo : lois cerullo is important to me , which means that her daughter , brook lynn , is also important to me . now , lois was extremely upset when you took her daughter to mexico . diego : yeah , and i already said i was -- lorenzo : you upset lois again or you cause brook lynn to get in any kind of trouble or to be any way distressed or worried , there will be consequences . do i make myself clear ? diego : yes .

[ lulu sighs ] lulu : so how many hours is this supposed to take ? well , if you let me drive now , i 'll let you drive when we get to oakfield . oh , wait -- can we go through memphis ? can we stop at graceland ? jason : no . lulu : why ? do n't you want to see where elvis lives ? jason : well , it 's on the other side of the state . lulu : ok . well , if i was driving , i would make sure we stopped in graceland , took the whole tour , and even went to the gift shop . jason : ok , we 're not going to graceland , all right ? the only house you need to focus on is the one spinelli showed you in the photo , so focus . lulu : oh . well , i hope i can remember it , considering i looked at it for three seconds when i was downing tequila . jason : well , what happened to the spencers having excellent memories ? what happened to that whole thing ? lulu : are you seriously making fun of me right now ? because i think i -- yep . yeah , i 'm actually the most important person , considering i 'm the only one who knows where spinelli is , and he 's the only one that can prove that your girlfriend is framed -- if he 's still even at his grandmother 's . you think she has wi - fi ? because if not , spinelli is probably long gone . and if he is there , i 'm probably the only one that would be able to talk to him . are you really always this gabby ? jason : i just want to drive , all right ? lulu : are you ok ? jason : yeah , i 'm ok . lulu : well , i do n't -- i do n't know if you noticed , but the spot where i hit your leg with the door , where you were shot is -- i think it 's bleeding .

[ christmas music plays ] lucky : hurt is still hurt . emily turned to sonny . i mean , why would n't elizabeth turn to another guy ? nikolas : now , look , i 'm -- i 'm no expert or anything , but is n't this , you know , backsliding a bit ? is n't suspecting elizabeth just another trigger for you to pick up pills again ? lucky : no , that was just one excuse . i have millions of them . nikolas : ok , then why -- then why dwell on it ? i mean , so far , you 've handled everything really well . mom 's recovery , the wedding , losing her again . you 've handled it . lucky : yeah , mom has been on my mind all night , too . nikolas : yeah . she would have loved all this , would n't she ? lucky : i 'm never going back to pills . i mean , it 's like a slap in the face to mom to waste my life like that , to lose elizabeth . we 'll be a family someday . nikolas : and , lucky , i -- i sincerely hope that that happens . but if it does n't , do you ever see yourself making a life without elizabeth ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : for just an instant tonight , i looked into lucky 's eyes , and i saw the man i fell in love with . and i wanted to wrap my arms around him and say `` where have you been ? `` emily : why did n't you ? elizabeth : because i know exactly where he 's been . he 's been in a room above kelly 's and in our bed with maxie jones . i 'm not saying i 'm perfect . but that night that i spent with jason would have never happened if i thought there was anything left to me and lucky . emily : elizabeth , i thought nikolas and i had lost everything , too . but nothing is set in stone . people change for the better and then for the worst , and then back again sometimes . but the love never really goes away . elizabeth : i know , and that 's what makes it so difficult . because i do still love him . a part of me always will , but it 's not enough . i have to think about my kids , and little cameron -- his life has been so disrupted by me trying to help lucky , and i 'm not going to do it again . i have to be fair to this baby . emily : does n't that include letting the baby 's father be present in its life ? [ scene_break ] jason : oh . ok , this is -- this is fine . thank you very much . woman : the ice machine 's over there , and the diner 's open 24/7 . you need anything , i 'll be at the front desk . i 'm abigail . jason : ok , thank you . lulu : do you usually keep your baby up this late ? abigail : i 'm just glad i can bring her with me . i mean , it saves me a fortune on childcare . lulu : yeah , but how is that fair to your baby ? jason : i -- i apologize for my sister -- lulu : i mean , why should your baby have to stay up all night just to be with you ? jason : ok -- thank you again . and again , i 'm sorry . i -- i apologize . what -- what is wrong with you ? lulu : what ? do you think it 's a good idea for a baby to be up all night -- ? jason : well -- lulu : while the mom is working ? jason : i think that mom is doing the best she can . you do n't treat people like that . you understand ? lulu : no , obviously , you do n't understand . [ scene_break ] alexis : robin , you have n't even examined me . how are you so sure that i ca n't represent sam ? robin : well , because i 've seen your chart . you have stage - two lung cancer . you 're starting out with a 50 % survival rate . sam : hey , what -- are you trying to upset her ? robin : no , i 'm just being realistic . you have a surgical procedure on one lung . then you developed post - op pneumonia . we had to induce a coma so we can fight yet another infection . overall , you 've been slow to respond to any treatment . and on top of that , you have a lot of stress , which complicates everything . sam : that 's enough . robin : you should n't be thinking about representing your daughter . you should be thinking about enjoying what could very well be your last days . patrick : thank you very much for your opinion , dr. scorpio . i apologize . my colleague -- she 's obviously lost her mind . alexis : i ca n't argue with the facts . patrick : the facts are you 're showing remarkable courage in the face of a serious illness . i 'm very impressed with your tenacity and determination from the start . alexis : but dr. scorpio just said -- patrick : dr. scorpio 's not herself at the moment . and she 's speculating , and i 'm sorry . in my opinion , your prognosis is great . you 'll live as long and as well as you choose to . [ scene_break ] [ christmas music plays ] nikolas : so listen , i -- i 'm not trying to discourage you or anything . i just want you to be prepared for what might happen , that 's all . lucky : did n't you just say i should have kissed elizabeth ? nikolas : i did . but i guess you felt like you knew better . lucky : well , the longer i stay clean , the easier it 'll be for elizabeth to see the man she married again , the man who loves her . nikolas : but this is putting a lot of pressure on yourself , do n't you think ? lucky : it 's faith . i am the father of elizabeth 's baby , and that baby one day will lead us back into each other 's arms , and we 'll be a family again . elizabeth : i do n't want to keep trashing lucky , but look at the kind of family man he 's become . i mean , he 's a drug addict who conceived another child with his girlfriend -- probably in my bed . he 's disrespected me for months . he 's tried to frame jason for drug possession , and almost got me shot in the process . emily : my father did terrible things , elizabeth , when he was addicted to hydrocodone . it was really tough for a while , but he and my mom -- they got through it . elizabeth : yeah , but monica 's children were almost grown when that happened . i have a toddler and a baby on the way , and they deserve a stable home . how do i know if lucky 's going to relapse ? how does he even know ? emily : that 's where faith comes in . elizabeth : and if it were just me , then i guess i could take that chance , but i have to consider my children . and they deserve to have a father who 's loving and consistent and who 's not going to sleep with another woman for a handful of pills . i guess my problem is i just have n't really forgiven him yet . and i do n't want my children to grow up with anger and resentment and just waiting for the other shoe to drop . you know , i want to give them a home with two parents who love and respect each other . and if i ca n't do that , then i 'd rather raise my kids alone . emily : alone ? or with someone besides lucky ? [ scene_break ] lulu : how 's the leg ? jason : it 's not serious . lulu : i could have helped you change the bandages . jason : it 's ok . lulu : why do n't you just say what you really mean ? you would n't let me within 50 feet of the bullet wound because you do n't think that i can handle it . jason : actually , you should n't even be exposed to any of this . lulu : i can get it . jason : it 's ok , i can get it . lulu : i know how to close a pair of stupid blinds ! jason : what is -- what is wrong with you ? lulu : yeah , well , is that the big question ? is n't it ? what is wrong with lulu spencer ? well , nobody knows , especially not you . and to you , i 'm just some useless bratty teenager who picks on motel clerks . jason : lulu , i -- i 'm sorry for dragging you into this , ok ? obviously , it 's bothering you more than i thought , but i ca n't -- lulu : but you have to protect me -- i know , i 'm aware of that . and maybe that 's why i 'm so mad . because i 'm sick and tired of being everybody 's problem . [ scene_break ] robin : there 's no reason to do this . i do n't want to talk to you right now . patrick : well , you 're going to listen . damn it , robin , this is a hospital . you are a doctor . your job it so heal people , not use them for your own private ethical dilemma . robin : there is no dilemma . patrick : what were you thinking telling alexis that ? robin : well , alexis happened to ask me for my opinion . patrick : so you deliver her eulogy ? not to mention , set yourself up for a malpractice suit ? robin : i do n't believe a doctor can be sued for telling the truth . patrick : you did n't even examine her . robin : that 's because i 've read her chart , several times , and it 's very clear . patrick : oh , and you 're always right , are n't you ? robin : oh . i forgot . you always have to be right . you are the brilliant doctor who suddenly decided that i 've given up on everyone because i could n't cure laura spencer . patrick : unfortunately , this goes much further than laura spencer . this is about you being alive and stone being dead . [ scene_break ] jason : i understand you did n't cause any of this , and you did n't mean to be involved , but we 'll be spending a lot of time together . so whatever is bothering you , just say it , ok ? or set it aside until later . lulu : and what are you going to do , send me back ? jason : if i have to , yes . your attitude attracts too much attention . you 're being mean to the night clerk for no reason . lulu : hmm . so that 's why you gave her a $ 100 tip ? jason : no , i 'm a fugitive , lulu , and alcazar wants you dead . i 'd rather have her happy than in tears . lulu : and you think it 's ok that she brings a baby with her on the graveyard shift ? jason : it 's not -- it 's not my choice -- or yours . lulu : well , she probably did n't even want the kid , and now the kid is well aware of it . jason : oh , ok . well , maybe you 're right . all right ? or maybe abigail wanted to be a mother more than anything in the world . lulu : she obviously could n't afford it . otherwise , she would n't be here . jason : well , she 's making a sacrifice for her child . maybe her life got a whole lot more difficult when she got pregnant , and she had to realize she had to deal with it alone . so she 's doing what she has to do to take care of her child . maybe she 's glad that she has a kid . you know how many women who would give anything to have a kid ? i mean , especially women who thought they had a kid once , and all of the sudden , it was gone . lulu : what do you know ? you 're a guy . you do n't have the first clue about any of this .

[ scene_break ] ric : i learned years ago to never get my hopes up where you 're concerned . well , chalk it up to one too many missed birthdays or a complete lack of love and support that i had to deal with my entire life . trevor : richard , the night of that ball , you almost died . yeah . and , um , it took that to make me realize how much i 've alienated you and poisoned our relationship , and for that , i apologize and i regret it . but i can not change the past , and i do n't expect you to trust me or bond with me , either . ric : why go to all that trouble for nothing , huh ? trevor : i 'm a hell of a father , are n't i ? but i think that i 've proven to you that i want no harm to come to you . ric : yeah , well , seeing me at death 's door may have sparked some sudden burst of paternal feeling , dad , but i have no illusions about you . the only time that you have ever shown me any kind of attention is when i can be of some use to you , so what is it this time ? what do you need from me , dad ? trevor : well , pin emily quartermaine 's death on anthony zacchara and close the case . be better for everybody if it goes down like that .

[ scene_break ] sonny : the only thing all these victims had in common was me . leticia was my kids ' nanny , carly was my ex - wife , emily and i were together for a little while -- this has to be about revenge . jason : leticia maybe . i mean , i can see one of our enemies breaking into the house , killing her to send a message , but the problem is there 's been no follow - up . there 's no demands , no threats . sonny : true , but what if the killer made a mistake ? what if he went in to kill carly and killed leticia instead , and then went to the ball to finish the job ? jason : that still does n't explain emily . i mean , if someone was doing this , sonny , to torture you , do n't you think they 'd want you to see it ? sonny : yeah , yeah . jason : no one knew that you were going to be at the ball . as far as trevor and zacchara were concerned , you died when that limo exploded in puerto rico . sonny : but this all happened after i showed up . jason : i still do n't buy that emily 's death is connected to you . sonny : emily and leticia were strangled , carly almost was . you think that was just a coincidence ? jason : no , of course -- of course there 's a pattern there . i 'm just not sure it has anything to do with you . sonny : well , i ca n't take that chance . if this freak is out there going after all these women , alexis or kate could be next . [ scene_break ] tracy : luke just got taken for more tests ; i do n't know when he 'll be back . skye : i do n't mind waiting . tracy : it could be hours . why waste a whole day ? i 'll tell him you were here . skye : that 's okay . i brought him a note . please see that he gets it . tracy : of course . skye 's voice : `` dear tracy , quit being so insecure . you ca n't keep luke away from me forever . `` tracy : want to bet ? alan : you picked a hell of a time to start acting like a spoiled schoolgirl . tracy : oh , why do n't you go haunt monica ? she could use the company . alan : how many times do i have to tell you , tracy ? i 'm not a ghost . tracy : clearly , or you would be mourning emily . alan : i am mourning emily , and even more so monica , who 's had to endure yet another loss . tracy : alan , it 's very sad . maybe you should spend some time alone to process the grief . alan : i am sad , but not so debilitated as to point out that you are being selfish , and to warn you you 're going to live to regret this . [ scene_break ] jason : sonny , you -- you know how kate feels about guards -- she would n't even let max put a security system in her house . sonny : jason , i can respect that kate wants her independence , you know , she can live her own life all she wants . but she 's -- she 's going to have to accept that our relationship together has made her a target , and i got to do what i got to do to protect her . the way you 're looking at me , you think i 'm wrong ? jason : i agreed to stay out of jake 's life so no one would make him a target because of me . i mean , that 's the only way i know how to protect him . sonny : oh -- so what you 're saying is that you think that i should , what , just walk away from kate ? jason : she -- she has to make that decision . sonny : how can she ? i mean , she -- she does n't really know the danger i 've already brought down on her . [ scene_break ] ric : this is becoming quite a habit for you , dad -- asking me to shut down an investigation and pin the crime on somebody else . if memory serves me , did n't you make a similar demand a few months ago when my nephews ' nanny was found strangled to death on the living room floor ? i think at the time you suggested that i find a homeless man and pin the murder on him . should i save us both some time and just pin leticia 's murder on anthony zacchara , as well ? trevor : well , anthony escaped his caretakers and my security detail , and then he went on a killing spree . so that indicates to me that he might 've done it before . ric : yeah , or it just means that anthony is a perfect scapegoat . but then again , he 's always been that , has n't he ? and now that he 's paralyzed and locked in a home for the criminally insane , you can use him one more time to place the blame on him instead of the real killer . trevor : hmm . [ scene_break ] coop : you -- what are you doing here ? i thought you had to work this morning . maxie : well , i do , but thanks to detective harper , i 'm going to be late . he called my dad last night and told him that i had n't given him my statement on what happened in the ballroom and mac went off on me , said if i did n't come in here first thing this morning and tell harper everything i knew , i was going to be the one sitting in jail . any idea how long this might take ? coop : well , the fastest way to get out of here is to say as little as possible -- better yet , claim you saw nothing at all . [ scene_break ] lucky : alexis , do you have a minute ? alexis : hey . what 's up ? lucky : i 'm worried about nikolas . i -- i 've tried calling him , but he 's not answering . i mean , have you heard from him ? alexis : yeah , i just spoke to him on his way to the airport . he 's going to zurich to see a specialist that patrick recommended . lucky : that 's great . maybe he 's going to finally get some answers to what 's causing all these episodes . alexis : it is great , and i 'm really thankful , because i thought that he would give up after emily died . lucky : yeah , i 'm sure he 's been tempted . alexis : so how are you ? what 's going on ? lucky : well , it 's been hard , you know , not having emily around to talk to -- especially , you know , about elizabeth . alexis : i thought you and elizabeth were okay , that you had come to some sort of an understanding that you were in a better place . lucky : elizabeth -- we decided to put our differences aside so we could help nikolas . the only thing that we have left between us is the boys . [ scene_break ] tracy : how is wanting my husband to survive being selfish ? alan : while luke 's death would be tragic , the thing that really terrifies you is being alone . tracy : i happen to love my husband . alan : then why do n't you treasure that love , and stop thinking that he 's going to run off with the next woman that comes along ? tracy : do you think i 'm jealous ? alan , i have long since accepted the fact that my husband is and probably always will be chronically unfaithful . alan : then why were you in such a hurry for skye to leave ? tracy : because he 's my husband , and i do not want him to spend the last moments he has with skye ! bobbie : what about skye ? [ tracy sighs ] [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] skye : mind if i come in ? ric : oh -- yes , please . have a seat . skye : well , looks like you jumped in with both feet into your work . did n't the doctor say you should take it easy ? ric : yeah , well , the thought of scott baldwin stepping in was incentive enough to get me out of bed and behind that desk . you know , i 've been playing catch- up so much that i have n't had the chance to properly thank you . skye : for what ? ric : oh . well , i do n't know -- all you did was keep me alive the night of the ball . skye : it was hardly heroic . all i did was sit vigil at a bedside . ric : i was in and out of consciousness most of the night , but when i did open my eyes , you were there . that alone was proof enough . skye : what can i say ? i knew eventually i 'd be able to use your gratitude to my advantage . ric : ha . well , i 'm afraid my father has the market cornered on that , so you 're going to have to try a different tact . otherwise , you should just suck it up and let me thank you for all your help . skye : if you want to show your gratitude , you find out who killed emily . [ scene_break ] coop : detective harper has to interview all potential witnesses to see if their statements match . just keep it simple , you 'll be in and out of here in no time . maxie : well , that should be easy , considering i do n't even really remember anything . coop : all right , but it 's harper 's job to generate leads . do n't let him try to trick you into saying something that you do n't mean , all right ? only answer the questions that are asked , do n't volunteer anything else . maxie : okay . det . harper : thanks for coming in . maxie : ahem . not like i had a choice . det . harper : well , it 's standard procedure . maxie : well , it 's a waste of time because i do n't know anything about emily 's death . and if you do n't believe me , ask my sister -- i was with her the entire night , except for a couple of minutes when anthony zacchara grabbed me . det . harper : well , if that 's true , why did cadet barrett say you were with him the entire evening ? [ scene_break ] [ kate sighs ] kate : so i can only assume that you 're here at sonny 's request ? jason : what you and sonny do is your business . i just need to say to you that if you 're involved in his life , you need to understand the danger that you are facing . kate : and there 's no chance that you 're exaggerating this so - called danger for sonny 's benefit ? jason : i do n't think i really have to . it 's obvious that everyone knows that you and sonny are involved -- he bailed you out after you were arrested , he had his attorney represent you at your trial , right ? kate : as he has for countless business associates . jason : yeah , but the difference is none of them camped out all night in sonny 's hospital room while he was recovering . kate : okay , what 's your point , jason ? jason : anybody who wants to get to sonny is going to consider you a target . and by refusing guards or any type of protection , you 're pretty much asking to get hurt or killed . [ scene_break ] sonny : take the men from the warehouse if you have to . i want everybody on this . are you listening ? thank you . [ sonny sighs ] sonny : okay , i 'm sorry , alexis . if you 're here to -- to complain about the extra guards , please do n't bother . until we find out who killed leticia or emily , there 's going to be extra security at your house and you and the girls are going to have to just accept that . now , i know you do n't like it . it 's not up for debate . alexis : actually , your men have been very discreet -- hardly even noticed that they 've been there . sonny : okay . alexis : and although i wish they did n't have to be there , i really do understand . that 's not why i 'm here . sonny : whatever it is , can -- can we do it some other time ? i got a lot of things that i got -- situations that are very important that i have to deal with right now . alexis : this wo n't take long . sonny : what is that ? alexis : it 's a formal notice that your stone wall is infringing on kate howard 's property by three inches . sonny : ha ! come on . you -- you got to be kidding me . alexis : no , no , no , she 's very serious . in fact , she would like your offending wall torn down immediately . so you need to comply , or she 'll see you in court . [ scene_break ] tracy : they took luke for tests ages ago . uh -- what 's taking so long ? is something wrong ? bobbie : no , the lab was backed up . i 'm sure luke is fine . tracy : they why do you look so concerned ? bobbie : because i heard you saying something about skye to an apparently empty room . so i assume that means you were talking to alan . monica told me about your hallucinations . [ tracy scoffs ] tracy : monica exaggerates . bobbie : hmm . well , in any case , i passed skye a few minutes ago in the hall , and she said she 's been by to see luke several times , but somehow he never seems to get the message . tracy : you know what ? luke needs rest , not a constant stream of visitors -- i 'm surprised you do n't know that . bobbie : well , in my experience , a few visitors never hurt the healing process . tracy : bobbie , come on , you and i both want the same thing . we want for luke to get better , so i 'm just trying to make that happen . bobbie : you 're trying to make sure my brother does n't leave you for a younger woman . luke : what `` younger woman `` are you referring to , barbara jean ? [ scene_break ] coop : i never said i was with maxie the entire night . check my statement . i made it clear that i was not in the ballroom when she was grabbed by zacchara . det . harper : i 've read your statement , and i 'd like to get maxie 's version of events -- privately . det . harper : have a seat . okay , i want you to start at the beginning . tell me everything that happened the night of emily 's death . maxie : okay , well , i was in the ballroom when the power went out , and elizabeth went to go look for flashlights or candles or something . when she did n't come back , coop offered to help nikolas and lucky look for her . det . harper : how long were they gone ? maxie : ahem . a while -- i do n't know . they all came back at different times -- first , nikolas , then coop . det . harper : barrett mention what took him so long ? maxie : he heard gunfire , wanted to check it out . det . harper : in the storm ? maxie : he is a cop . det . harper : no , he 's a cadet . there is a difference . maxie : not as far as coop 's concerned . he heard gunfire and wanted to help . det . harper : alone ? maxie : well , that 's the type of person coop is -- he cares about other people more than himself . det . harper : hmm . and was that the only time he left the ballroom ? maxie : no . when tracy quartermaine fell down the stairs , coop carried her up to the bedroom , and then he went around to make sure everybody else was okay . det . harper : hmm . well , what you 're saying , then , is that cadet barrett had no alibi for most of the night . [ scene_break ] kate : so are you trying to scare me into ending my relationship with sonny ? jason : you should be scared . with everything that 's going on , sonny 's enemies would n't think twice about using you to get to him . kate : and in your opinion , the only way for me to stay safe is to let sonny protect me ? jason : kate , the danger is real . now , how you decide to deal with it , that 's up to you . kate : you are right . you 're exactly right . it is my life , and i have no intention of letting sonny control it or anyone else , for that matter . jason : all we 're talking here is some guards for your protection . kate : but that is the first step of getting pulled into sonny 's life . i mean , when do i lose my identity completely , jason ? when do i go from being kate howard , the independent magazine editor , to some woman who dutifully leaves the room the moment the business is being discussed ? jason : okay , i 'm just saying that if you do n't have some type of protection , you could get killed . kate : fine , i can pay for my own guards . alexis : yes , you can , and yes , you should . in fact , it 's much better for you to rely on your own considerable resources than to depend on sonny 's questionable ones -- hi , jason . it 's nice to see you . unfortunately , i 'm going to have to ask you to leave because you 're in violation of the spirit , if not the language , of the court order . jason : what court order ? alexis : the one that kate asked me to file against sonny . [ scene_break ] diane : what ? this is a travesty . sonny : it 's ridiculous -- taking me to court over three inches . diane : why would kate howard retain alexis davis when i am more than capable of representing her ? sonny : well , you are my lawyer , right ? diane : and as your lawyer , i would 've negotiated a swift and reasonable resolution that would benefit both parties . now that alexis is involved , this is going to get ugly . sonny : i do n't want it to get ugly , diane . diane : yeah , well , alexis is still nursing a grudge over the way i handled the spencer divorce . she was outmaneuvered , pure and simple . now she 's trying to do everything she can to make me look bad , including poaching my clientele . sonny : diane , this has nothing to do with you . it 's about me and kate . what are you talking about ? diane : i do n't know who alexis thinks she is dealing with , but i 'm not going to take that lying down . do n't you worry ; i 'm going to wipe the floor with her . once i am done , kate will undoubtedly see the error of her ways and want to make some small gesture of apology . you know , if i play my cards right , i might walk away with a pair of new designer shoes -- some smart and sassy pumps . maybe something strappy to go with my custom neela llorente gown . sonny : diane , forget the shoes , will you ? we need to focus . there is no way in hell i am going to lose kate over this . [ scene_break ] cassius : all right , now , is there anything else i can do for you today , mr. spencer ? luke : you might try to find out who that younger woman was who tried to visit me earlier . cassius : okay , i 'll ask around and i 'll let you know , all right ? tracy : i think we should let luke get some rest . bobbie : i think you should go because i need to have a few minutes alone with my brother . tracy : luke 's had a very long morning . luke : spanky , i 'm fine . maybe my test results are back -- gee , i 'd love to know what they are . luke : please do n't start with the lectures , barbara . i 've had them from my wife , and from every doctor on the staff . bobbie : well , in case you have n't noticed , i have managed to show a surprising amount of restraint through all of this -- which is no small feat , considering the fact that you are not someone who is ever going to do the safe or the prudent thing . luke : it 's not my style , baby . bobbie : and i would n't dream of asking you to change it . i just want to tell you how much i love you . because you have been the one constant in my life . you are my big brother and you have always been here for me . and i do n't know what i would ever do if i lost you , and i hope i never have to find out . [ scene_break ] tracy : monica ? monica : hmm ? tracy : when are you going to get luke 's test results ? monica : uh -- i just got them , actually . tracy : how 's he doing ? monica : he 's very lucky to be alive . three massive coronaries -- his heart can not stand another one . tracy : well , that 's why he 's having the bypass -- dr. julian thinks it 's going to fix the problem and he 'll make a full recovery . monica : well , you know , julian is a good surgeon , but no surgery is without risk . so i 'm going to scrub in and ensure that luke gets the best possible care . tracy : monica , under ordinary circumstances , you would be my first choice . these are not ordinary circumstances -- monica : tracy , i am quite capable of doing my job . tracy : do it on someone else . [ scene_break ] diane : judge gates ? good morning . diane miller . i 'm fine , thank you . i have been reviewing the injunction filed by alexis davis on behalf of kate howard . yes , your honor , the property dispute . well , i 'm hoping you have a little time for me this afternoon . my client would like me to file a counter complaint against kate howard . alexis : on what grounds ? diane : that would be perfect , your honor , i will see you then . thank you . kate howard 's property has become a hazard to my client 's well - being , and his only protection is that stone wall which your client so callously wants torn down . alexis : why do you always have to go and make everything so difficult ? sonny : i 'm not the one running around suing people over three inches of wall hang . alexis : ca n't you see that kate just wants some boundaries -- emotionally , and anything that applies to her property line ? sonny : alexis , it 's three inches . diane : sonny , do n't engage . sonny : it 's three inches . diane : this is a frivolous lawsuit only intended to get me back in court against alexis . alexis : for an otherwise formidable attorney , you have an unfortunate streak of narcissism . not everything is about you . diane : you should examine your own motives before pursuing this matter in court and embarrassing yourself . alexis : if you take this to court , he is going to get slapped with a significant amount of fines for infringing on my client 's airspace by disregarding the property line . it 's very simple . diane : airspace ? `` airspace `` ? if that 's the best you 've got , kate howard really is in trouble . [ scene_break ] jason : i got a message detective harper wanted to see me ? officer : harper 's out on a call . have a seat , morgan . i 'll let him know you 're here . lucky : oh , mr. morgan -- he 's a very , very busy man . you do n't want to keep him waiting . jason : i do n't mind . lucky : no , no , tell harper to take his time . i got this . after you . jason : this is a bad idea , lucky . lucky : what , you trust me to raise your son but not ask you a few questions ? jason : it 's because of jake this ca n't work . you ca n't be objective , and i ca n't let your hate for me interfere with finding whoever killed my sister .

[ scene_break ] alexis : your client is in clear violation of the property line . here is the land survey from the developer 's office . diane : mm - hmm , this survey is over 30 years old ; the wall in question is less than 4 . you try to admit this into evidence , and i 'll have it thrown out before you 've even marked it . alexis : you do n't like the survey , petition the court for a new one . diane : oh , i plan to -- one that takes into account all the renovations your client has made without the proper permits . alexis : the contractor is responsible for the permit , not my client . it 's not her responsibility if the contractor is negligent . diane : we 'll leave that to a judge . alexis : all righty , then . in the meantime , my client would like the gate in between the two properties bricked up immediately . diane : oh , out of the question . that gate is most definitely on sonny 's property , his to do with as he chooses . alexis : diane -- diane , ca n't you see what 's going on here ? [ diane sighs ] alexis : kate is just fighting for a little integrity ; she wants some identity as an independent person . i thought you respected her . diane : my first priority is to my own client 's needs . so you can take this back to kate -- those shoes are fabulous . alexis : are n't they ? do n't you just love them ? diane : oh , i do . alexis : kate gave them to me in lieu of a retainer -- neela llorente originals . diane : did you say neela llorente ? alexis : i did . that 's what i said , yes . diane : you realize , of course , that this means war ?

[ scene_break ] jax : you 're not going to take this to carly or anyone else 'cause there 's too much at stake . dominic : well , according to you , my mother 's about to drop - kick my cover anyway , so . jax : well , that 's why i 'm telling you all this . so why do n't you complete the job that you came here for instead of standing there arguing with me ? dominic : okay , look . this does n't make any sense . why would my mother give me up to sonny ? jax : you have n't been listening to anything i 've said , have you ? your mother has been worried sick about you . she 's fearing for your life . now , she knows what 's going to happen if sonny finds out the truth . so she convinced herself that it 's best she tell sonny that you 're her son , she begs for mercy , and then , you 'll be safe . dominic : okay , look . i do n't buy it . she knows how important this case is to me . i 'm sure she 'd love to see me pack up and move on , but she 's not going to back me into a corner like this . jax : well , i know that she 's on her way over to see sonny right now . come on , dominic . you 've been working really hard at this case . but you 've got to give sonny a push . otherwise , it will all be for nothing . dominic : what do you want me to do ? if it was up to me , sonny would be in prison right now . but there is not enough evidence . i can not manufacture what does n't exist . and you need to stop using my mother to get to me . jax : i 'm not your enemy here , you know . i 've been on your side since the moment i found out what you were doing . dominic : look , i do n't want you on my side . i want you to stay out of it so i can do my job with no distractions . jax : you should be grateful for whatever help you can get . dominic : oh , come on . you 'd do anything to bring sonny down . jax : yes , i would , actually . i want sonny out of my life and away from my family . you 're the one that seems to have lost momentum here . dominic : yeah . you know what ? i will see this investigation through to its conclusion . you do n't call the shots , jax . i do n't work for you . i never did . so you stay out of it , or as soon as i pop sonny , i 'll bring you up on charges , too .

[ sonny laughs ] olivia : yeah , for me and every other woman in the entire commonwealth . sonny : nah . olivia : michael corinthos junior , how many women do you think that you 've compromised with this salad dressing and acted like they were the only one ? really ? sonny : um -- [ chuckles ] over 2 , less than , maybe , 300 -- olivia : less than 2,000 ? yes . [ both laugh ] olivia : son of a bitch . i 'm onto you , though . sonny : you never let me get away with anything . olivia : i know you too well , and i 've known you for too long . and plus , with that thing you 're doing , it just bugs me . sonny : what are you talking about ? olivia : the whole -- the little charming act that you 're doing , with the smiling and the dimples and everything . [ sonny groans ] olivia : it just bugs me . do you think you can wear me down with some food and a nice bottle of wine and a nice meal ? it does n't work that way , okay ? sonny : i expect nothing , so that way i can be pleasantly surprised . even if i had an agenda , you 've got your own ideas about things . olivia : which you hate , because as far as you 're concerned , this is all your world , and we 're all just living in it . sonny : not always . i 'd be lying if i said i did n't want more . i think you 're very beautiful , and it 's very difficult not to stare at you .

[ laughs ] sorry . would you like more wine ? sonny : love it . olivia : you know , it 's so hard for me to believe that we 're just sitting here in this ridiculous , gigantic house of yours all these years later , just eating a salad . hard to believe . sonny : well , i 'm grateful . and sometimes , when we 're sitting here like this talking , it just reminds me of something that 's missing in my life . olivia : sonny , i swear , if you say i complete you , i 'm getting up and walking out the door -- sonny : no . no expectations , no agendas . i just -- look . you know , it 's like i do n't get a chance to speak my mind with you 'cause a lot of times , we 're interrupted by something , by someone , and i just want this night to be about us . and i just want you to know that i miss you . it 's that simple .

[ elizabeth sighs ] nikolas : stop analyzing everything and just trust what you feel . elizabeth : what we feel is not real . it 's just going to -- it 's gon na go away , and it 's just gon na burn out . nikolas : oh , really ? so what do i do in the meantime ? [ elizabeth sighs ] nikolas : you just endure me until you get tired of me ? [ elizabeth sighs ] nikolas : because i 'm not getting tired of you . elizabeth : this has to be kept a secret . nobody deserves to be hurt by this except us . nikolas : you act as if the way we feel for each other is some sort of a curse , elizabeth -- elizabeth : well , is n't it ? i mean , truly , how do you feel about what we 're doing to your brother ? this stays between us . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] lucky : what do you have to feel guilty about , michael ? michael : nothing . carly : of course michael is conflicted over whatever happened to claudia . they lived under the same roof . he cared about her , even after he found out she was the one who got him shot . michael : you do n't have to defend me -- carly : yes , i do . yes , i do . the moment michael found out about the shooting , claudia kidnapped me . now , i think that 's a lot for a kid to handle . so right now , you 're going to give michael a break . and you 're going to go upstairs , and you 're going to do your homework . where are you going ? michael : i 'm going to go to the library . i got to study for that test that i blew off . [ carly sighs ] michael : i 'll see you later . carly : you know what ? i get that we 're not close , but we are family , and i really think it 's unfair that you 're harassing me after everything we just went through , lucky . lucky : if you could just tell me what else you remember about the night claudia disappeared , i can move on . carly : i already gave my statement . i mean -- claudia crashed the car . i was already in labor . i was trying not to panic before i delivered my baby . claudia was unconscious . i went to find shelter . i never saw her again . lucky : so you do n't want to change any part of your story ? carly : no . lucky : i think you and sonny and jason are covering up what really happened . carly : i was taken hostage by an insane woman . my life and the life of my little girl were in jeopardy . i think -- ha -- that i , you know , would be a little justified in defending myself . why would i try and cover it up ? lucky : i do n't know . i 'm just -- i 'm trying to figure it all out , okay ? that way , we can all get a little more sleep . [ scene_break ] sonny : you got something against the past ? olivia : no . i 've had a good life . i got a lot of nice photographs in scrapbooks , memories , and -- i just live in the present . sonny : well , i got nothing to say about your present . olivia : because of johnny . sonny : i mean -- olivia : well , i mean , sonny , i 'm sorry about that , but johnny 's a part of my life now -- today , tomorrow , and , i mean , who knows how long ? but if you think that sitting here with you having a meal or something was something to get you -- sonny : no , i do n't . this -- sometimes , a cannolo is a cannolo .

[ scene_break ] tracy : why are you so concerned about lucky ? ethan : dad , he seems all right to me . in fact , he seems less obnoxious than usual . tracy : what kind of trouble is he in ? luke : he 's whipped up a pink cloud around elizabeth , and he 's in for some hard knocks when life kicks him in the teeth . tracy : luke , it is so unlike you to involve yourself in other people 's issues , especially your children . luke : i know , and i hate it . but if i 'm just standing there , and the train is running down on some stranger , i have to say something . i certainly have to say something if it 's my own kid . ethan : well , you know whatever you said to lucky , he does n't hear . whenever you and lucky fight , nobody wins . tracy : i agree . and if lucky and elizabeth have to get married 10 more times before they get it right , it 's not your business . luke : trying to wait it out , but it 's not doing anybody any good , and it 's only going to get worse . tracy : okay . where are you going ? luke : i 'm going out for a drive . i need to think . and that 's not code for `` i 'm leaving town . `` as much as i 'd like to bail on this mess , i ca n't . [ scene_break ] [ door shuts ] carly : you just missed lucky . he was here asking questions about claudia . jax : oh . did you stick to your story ? carly : yeah . i 'm not the problem . it 's michael . he was very upset that lucky was questioning me , and he came close to telling lucky everything . this is where you can tell me `` i told you so . `` jax : i do n't get any pleasure in this , carly . carly : god . i wish i would have listened to you . you know . i mean , we should have listened to you . i should have told the truth about what happened to claudia , that michael was just defending me and the baby . i mean , everything is starting to unravel . lucky stood right here and told me that he thinks i 'm helping sonny and jason cover up for something . jax : well , do the police suspect michael ? carly : no ! no . god forbid that michael had help . now , he 's walking around telling anyone who 'll listen that claudia got what she deserved . jax : well , he 's got to be careful he does n't incriminate himself . carly : he does n't care . he just wants to be a tough guy . i mean , that kid right now is thinking , `` if i could just be tough enough -- `` jax : right , right -- his father will bring him into the mob . carly : and michael knows how to work sonny . i mean , and what man is n't flattered by his son telling him that he thinks he 's the greatest guy in the whole world ? michael knows how to wear sonny down . jax : well , then we have to be that much more diligent . carly : and then , i 'm the bad guy . oh . i can feel my son pulling away from me , and he does n't care , even when sonny called him on it . it 's like that kid does n't know the difference between right and wrong , and he feels no remorse , jax . jax : okay , okay . [ carly sighs ] jax : what do you want to do ? carly : i do n't know . i mean , the days of me telling michael what to do are just long gone . i -- i feel helpless . i feel helpless . i do n't even recognize my son anymore . and i do n't know how to find him and get him back .

'cause kate still wants him to commit to doing the photo shoot for `` crimson , `` and franco would be useless if jason broke anything important . spinelli : well , all we know is that franco strove pretty hard to get stone cold 's attention , and he has it now . [ scene_break ] sam : hey , jason . this all seems kind of random , but everything is here for a reason . he is definitely trying to send you a message . jason : every move franco makes is to send me a message . i mean , obviously , he wanted me to find this place . sam : yeah . and the fact that he rented this place under your name , there 's got to be a method to all this madness . jason : and i 'm supposed to see through it all and try to figure out what this guy 's trying to tell me ? sam : but wait a minute . you are always in control . franco is controlling this game . you 've got to take that back .

[ scene_break ] [ door opens ] lucky : hey , man . i just wanted to drop by and let you know how everything went . elizabeth and i are going ahead with our marriage . nikolas : what ? really ? lucky : yeah . nikolas : 'cause you were so determined to break it off earlier . lucky : oh . but she refused to walk away . she said building a life together is all she wants and that she 's determined to get past whatever it is that 's got her all twisted up inside . nikolas : wow . so she was the one who actually insisted on getting married . lucky : yeah . i mean , i tried to end it , but she would n't let me go . she actually asked me to marry her , and i could n't refuse . nikolas : no , no . of course not . that 's great , man . i 'm happy for you , for the both of you . lucky : thanks . i still feel a little uneasy about the whole thing , just because she 's been all over the place lately . nikolas : yeah . lucky : you expecting someone ? nikolas : hmm ? lucky : am i interrupting anything here ? nikolas : oh , no , no . lucky : hey , you know , i ran into rebecca earlier at the hospital . she said you broke up with her . what the hell happened , man ? nikolas : yeah . well , it just -- it just was n't working out . but . really nothing to say about it . i 'm fine . i 'm fine , though . lucky : all right . sorry . nikolas : that 's alright . lucky : anyway , elizabeth swears that if i just stand by her , she can get through anything . nikolas : well , then , why are you so unhappy ? is n't this your dream come true ? the love of your life does n't want to live hers without you ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're going to be working for a while , are n't you ? spinelli : well , i need to gather as much information about franco as i can . maxie : well , i was hoping we could spend some time together , but i understand that jason needs you , so i 'll leave you to your brilliance . spinelli : well , actually , i mean , if you could find a way to otherwise occupy yourself , i might be done pretty soon . maxie : do n't rush on my account . you need to stay focused and methodical . i will just come back later and take some measurements . spinelli : for your design project ? maxie : yeah . it 's sad that such a great space is so pathetic - looking . spinelli : well , it 's very generous of maximista to use her penchant for design to enhance stone cold 's living space , especially since he was less than kind to you . maxie : hey , even jason morgan is allowed to be on overload . besides , he 'll thank me when the renovations are done . you 'll see . spinelli : wait . do you promise you 're all right ? maxie : spinelli , yeah . i 'm fine . as long as i have you , i 'm perfect . spinelli : it 's true . you are perfect , indeed . maxie : bye . [ scene_break ] sam : i just wish we knew more about this guy , other than he 's an artist from paris , originally in new york , and he returned to the states when ? jason : september . sam : september . okay . and then , he rented this place under the name jason morgan , which means his interest in you dates back to before the gallery show , and then , he shows up as a homeless man , which is the strangest thing anyone could ever do . jason : and he witnessed the shoot - out . sam : yeah , but that was n't planned . i mean , you had no intention of killing anyone -- jason : i did n't . sam : excuse me ? jason : well , i did n't kill all the men , remember ? lucky said someone came up and stepped on joey 's throat , broke his windpipe . that was his cause of death . sam : and whoever that was -- posed the body the same way maxie was posed for the fake crime scene . [ jason sighs ] sam : death as art . jason : it 's franco . sam : this is about you personally , jason . he 's trying to prove something to you . jason : prove what , sam ? and why ? sam : i do n't know . i keep going back to what maxie said , that he told her that he thinks you 're an artist . jason : yeah , but it does n't make any sense . i 'm not an artist . sam : it does n't matter what you think . it 's what franco thinks that counts . he 's trying to reach out to you as a fellow artist . i just ca n't figure out what he 's trying to say . jason : franco got me here for a reason . and i 'm going to wait here until i get an answer . sam : what if he does n't come back ? i mean , seriously , jason , the guy has done his homework . he knows everything about you . what if he decides that this is a game that he does n't want to play because you are too skilled at what you do , and he went back to europe because he does n't want to end up like joey and the guys ? jason : sam , can you just do me a favor ? can you check the neighborhood , please , see if you can figure out the last time anyone saw franco ? sam : fine . but it may take a while , if i 'm right . jason : this is personal . this is obviously about me . i need to face franco alone . sam : okay . but jason , this guy is seriously disturbed . just promise me you 're gon na be safe , okay ? jason : always .

[ scene_break ] siobhan : all you have to do is go into the vault , i could stand guard outside . there 's any trouble , i start screaming , create a big stir , alarms would go off , and in all the confusion , we could escape . lucky : right . or we could get arrested for attempted robbery , which is more likely . siobhan : you are going to veto all my ideas , are you ? thinking i 'll give up .

[ scene_break ] ethan : maya , maya , wait . why are you running away ? maya : just leave me alone . ethan : look , when did i become your enemy ? seriously , what did i do ? maya : it 's not what you 've done . it 's what you 're gon na do . you 're a player , ethan . players are the best fun you 've ever had until they break your heart and leave . so that 's what i 'm going to do . ethan : no , maya , look , i 'm not playing you , okay ? i 'm not using you . i 'm not lying to you . i do n't have a hidden agenda , all right ? yes , i want edward 's money , but i could get money from anywhere . you know , this was supposed to be about us . maya : why me ? why not any other woman ? it 's not like you ca n't find someone else . ethan : because they 're not you . and , i do n't know , i 'm starting to think that i , uh , it 's possible that i somewhat care about you . maya : [ chuckles ] care . wow . i mean , you better contain yourself . you know , i would n't want you to get -- mmm .

[ scene_break ] dante : rather you not go through my stuff , okay ? off . padilla : i was looking for your notes on the boat search . i thought i 'd combine them with mine , you know , since we 're partners and all . dante : yeah , partners . just remember we 're not equals . i 'm running the case , so hopefully you just do whatever i ask you to do . off . padilla : touchy . dante : yeah . so , if i want you to look at files or assignment stuff , i 'll put them on your desk . that way you do n't have to go rummaging through my stuff , okay ? we clear ? off . padilla : yes , sir . dante : all right . good . thanks . off . padilla : you do n't like me too much , do you ? dante : uh , tell you the truth , uh ... you do kind of rub me the wrong way a little bit . off . padilla : that 's because you think i 'm overly ambitious . maybe you like your women house - trained . dante : [ scoffs ] off . padilla : sorry . sorry . that was inappropriate . i admit i can come a little too eager sometimes . but you got it wrong when you called me uptight . i 'm about learning other ways . all i care about is whatever gets the job done , whatever makes a difference out there . dante : all right . well , then , we should get along just fine , as long as we 're good on the ... boundaries thing . off . padilla : fair enough . dante : you can start by getting out of that uniform . nothing makes a witness shut up quicker than an eager face in blue polyester and a notepad . off . padilla : well , you wo n't get an argument from me . dante : i 'll remember you said that . off . padilla : look , obviously , we got off on the wrong foot , and i really regret that , because now we have to work together , and ... the partner relationship is crucial . dante : i agree . off . padilla : so , maybe we should start acting like partners -- i do n't know -- go out and grab a beer after a shift one night , get to know each other . dante : all right , how 's -- how 's tonight sound ? off . padilla : are you serious ? dante : yeah . i got nothing going on . off . padilla : well , okay . uh ... sure . i just -- i have to go home and change . dante : all right . you do that . i 'll finish up here . we 'll meet at jake 's in , say , half an hour ? off . padilla : half an -- okay . that will work . dante : you have to check in with your husband or anything ? off . padilla : oh , no . he -- he knows how important it is for me to fit around here . besides , he 's away on business ... again . what about your fiancée ? dante : uh ... that 's not gon na be a problem .

[ telephone rings ] lulu : ... given what he does for a living . maxie : [ new york accent ] vinnie 's pizza . no , not crimson . yeah , we must have a similar number . would you like to order a pizza ? okay , so long . [ normal voice ] go on . lulu : being constantly paranoid about something absolutely horrible happening to him was bad enough , but now he has gone back to work way too soon when i begged him not to ... and i thought we had come to a mutual compromise that he was going to take a desk job . maxie : wait . really ? he took a desk job ? lulu : well , the agreement lasted all of 10 minutes , and he 's already working cases , as if the feelings that i 'm having do n't matter . and he told me that i had to decide whether i could live with it or not , so i ... broke up with him . maxie : [ sighs ] again ? lulu : he thinks that i 'm being unreasonable and that i can not accept who he is . maxie : yeah , you do see why he thinks that , though , right ? lulu : but i am not trying to change him ! i am trying to keep him from dying ! maxie : okay , we 're all gon na die , lulu . lulu : yeah , but we 're all not walking around , inviting it every day ! maxie : okay . so , what 's your bottom line here ? lulu : my bottom line is either i move on or i 'm in this 100 % . maxie : and ? lulu : i do n't know . that 's why i 'm here to get some advice . maxie : [ chuckles ] you want my advice ? here it is -- two words for you -- dump him . [ scene_break ] michael : look , is this something you want to talk about ? because you do n't have to , not with me . completely understand . sam : no , it 's just , you know , before i came to port charles , before i met jason ... i did n't have the best taste in guys . i mean , i picked some doozies , trust me . it 's like i had a sign on my forehead that said , `` abusers , here i am . come get me . `` michael : i did n't know that . sam : it 's not like it was a secret , michael . i think you might have just been a little too young . michael : i always think of you just being tough and in control . sam : [ chuckles ] michael : look , you know that you are not at all responsible for however you were abused . sam : yeah , i know . i know . i just sometimes think that i could have been more -- i do n't know -- aware . michael : look , did something happen recently -- something that you do n't want jason to know about ? sam : no . no . michael : look , sam , i mean , you can talk to me . i 'd respect your wishes not to tell anybody else . sam : it 's just , you know , sometimes the past creeps up on you . that 's all . michael : yeah . that 's what it 's like when i think about franco coming back -- big old reminder of what he set in motion when i was in prison , as if i 'd ever be able to forget that . sam : were -- were you able to forget that ? michael : i 'm working on it . abby 's been my everything . if i 'm ever able to fully heal , it 'll be because of her . sam : you really love her . michael : [ chuckles ] that 's an understatement . she just left , and i already miss her like crazy . sam : well , it 's a good thing that she 's not here in port charles with this attacker around . at least she 's safe . michael : yeah . yeah , it was worth pulling a couple strings . and talk about close to home -- all the victims are her friends . sam : you know , you 've done your best to protect abby . you ca n't play hero , michael . michael : that 's the same thing abby said . look , sam , be honest with me here -- do you think jason would just stand by and do nothing if he thought someone might hurt you ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : well , perhaps it would be enlightening to begin at the beginning , as it were . you know , it seems to me that franco views his ongoing conflicts with you as a series of competitions in the vein of a chess match . i mean , otherwise , he simply would have killed you and gone away . jason : yeah , but he does n't want to kill me . he wants me to be like him . that 's the point . spinelli : i - i confess , i do n't -- i do n't really know what that means . jason : well , franco ca n't feel . he thinks if he takes away what i love that i 'm not gon na be able to feel , either . spinelli : which explains why he targets those close to you -- to make ... to make you feel responsible for their suffering . yeah , but a curious anomaly has arisen there . as far as i know , there 's been no casualty in this latest engagement , no -- jason : spinelli ! franco did enough . [ scene_break ] lulu : are you really advising me to dump dante ? maxie : did i not make myself clear ? lulu : no , i just -- i want to understand why . maxie : okay . well , if you 'd like me to give you a different piece of advice , just let me know , 'cause it 'll save a lot of time since you always tend to do the opposite of whatever i tell you to do anyway , like when i told you not to walk out on dante and you walked out on dante , and i told you to accept his proposal , and , unless i missed something , there was no engagement announcement . lulu : so , is this reverse psychology and you 're telling me i need to move on from my feelings and work things out ? [ telephone rings ] maxie : no , i 'm just saying that you should do whatever it is that you 're going to do anyway . [ sighs ] what is it ? do you really think that this warrants a call in the middle of the night ? look , if the layout is wrong , then send it back . it 's not rocket science , okay ? buh - bye . lulu : that 's rude . maxie : really ? really ? you 're gon na give me advice and criticize my work ethic when you 're the one who left me here to do all this work by myself anyway ? lulu : is that why you 're so irritable ? maxie : no , god . believe it or not , lulu , i have a lot on my plate , professionally and personally , so excuse me if i do n't want to indulge in your free - floating anxiety over dante and i do n't want to give you reams of advice that you 're never going to take . but ... you know , i 'm your friend , so ... i 'll give it one more shot . lulu : thanks . maxie : all right . here 's the best advice that i can give you . figure it out for yourself . okay ? i 'm only saying that because you 're the only one who can decide whether your raging anxiety over dante 's job is enough for you to want to lose him . i mean , he loves you and he supports you in all that you do , and he 's not gon na disappear on you when you do something really bad , and ... i have to get back to work . lulu : um ... okay . i 'll leave you to it . maxie : [ sighs ] lulu ... whatever you decide , just good luck , okay ? i mean that .

[ scene_break ] diane : why are you so interested in johnny zacchara ? pres : something 's going on over there , and he 's in it up to his neck . why do n't you go see if you can find something out ? diane : on johnny zacchara ? i can tell you right now it 's a big fat nothing . pres : mm - hmm . you never know until you try . diane : see , you 're still thinking like the mayor . you got to think like a newspaperman . yes , your instincts are spot - on . there 's a story over there , but we 're not gon na get anything from johnny zacchara . the girls , now -- well , that 's an entirely different situation and one i might be able to infiltrate . [ scene_break ] sam : you know it 's not in jason 's nature to do nothing if someone he loves is in danger . michael : it 's a mind - set you 've lived with for a very long time , right ? sam : yeah . michael : so , you should understand where i 'm coming from . i am not gon na let abby be the victim of some psycho who gets off abusing women . sam : okay , th - th - this is -- this is the situation , michael . sometimes it does n't matter what happens . the people you love will still get hurt . [ scene_break ] spinelli : perhaps the jackal might be more effective if i knew the extent of franco 's activities in the latest encounter . jason : you know everything you need to . spinelli : well , as i understand it , franco 's latest missive was a - a package addressed to josslyn containing a dvd and a baby doll ? which is most curious . i mean , there must be some significance beyond the toy itself . i mean , does it relate to a child , josslyn , or some other -- jason : d - do you know what the circle means ? spinelli : uh , i have not yet -- jason : okay , but that 's what i really need to know right now -- why he came back and why he painted this circle ! spinelli : right , a circle . it 's a geometric concept with no beginning and no end , also -- jason : you do n't know , do you ? spinelli : i can -- jason : yes , no ? spinelli : i can enlist the -- jason : spinelli , just leave . spinelli : i 'm worried about you . jason : i 'm fine . spinelli : [ sniffs ] franco : ladies and gentlemen , boys and girls , saints and sinners , especially you , mr. morgan , keep your seat belts unfastened , your hands outside of the car , and let 's ... i fooled you . i 'm a happy man ... indeed , is most definitely not what you get ... the blurring of lines between illusion and reality ... jason : [ sighs ] so , what -- what is this ? ! are you here ? ! are you watching me ? ! come get me !

sabrina : mr. manning , say `` yes `` to the nurses ' ball . let that act of generosity change your life and see it change the lives of countless others . [ breathes deeply ] you can do this . you are confident , polished , and well spoken . nothing can shake your poise . todd : well , okay , let 's just agree that i threw a cup of coffee in her direction . well , it was hazelnut . hazelnut coffee is disgusting . look , why do n't we do this ? why do n't you just send me the next assistant and , just to be safe , let 's put another assistant in the wings , on reserve . [ knock on door ] todd : oh , that was fast . hope you have thick skin . carly : how 'bout a thick head ? does n't get any thicker than mine . michael : look , call me as soon as you 're out of the meeting , all right ? just let me know if it works . all right , thanks . starr : if what works ? michael : [ sighs ] i do n't want to jinx it . starr : well , if you tell me , then we can hope for it together . a.j . , my father -- he could go free . tracy : [ sighs ] lieutenant . sorry . it 's detective now , is n't it ? mcbain : what can i do for you , miss quartermaine ? tracy : i understand -- a.j . : aunt tracy . diane : [ chuckles ] a.j . : well , if you came here hoping to watch me get carted off to pentonville , something tells me you 're gon na be a little disappointed . diane : now , let 's not get ahead of ourselves , shall we ? tracy : actually , nothing would make me happier than to wave goodbye to you as you get carted off to pentonville . but i am here on another matter . you have robert scorpio in custody , yes ? i 'd like to see him . robert : well , thanks for dropping by . dante : sorry , robert . i 've been busy . i am working on other cases other than your b and e right now . robert : [ scoffs ] let me make this clear to you . your boss , that pushy woman that got me locked up in here , is holding hands with a card - carrying psycho . dante : okay . i ca n't just ignore her orders . robert : well , you might want to start to try . because anna 's life is on the line . faison : [ as duke ] danke . bitte schoen . faison : if you do n't like the view , anna , we can always change rooms . anna : no , no . it 's beautiful . it 's lovely . faison : something 's troubling you . what is it ? anna : just the last time i was here in switzerland , it was because heather said robin was here . faison : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i should n't have brought you here . anna : no , it 's all right . this is kind of a surprise . i thought we were going upstate to ski , the catskills . why are we here ? why did you bring me here ? faison : anna has to see for herself . she has to see that duke lavery and faison -- are two separate people . i can make that happen . well , the catskills are very nice , but the food they have there is nothing compared to the food here . and also the skiing here is so much better . when a friend offered me a plane and these rooms , i mean , i could hardly say no . besides , i 'm not exactly welcome in the united states anymore . anna : since when ? what happened ? faison : well , my secret 's out . faison is n't welcome in port charles . sabrina : patrick ! hello . what a surprise . patrick : yeah , it 's weird when you run into somebody that you work with . sabrina : right . [ laughs ] 'cause we work together or something . okay , you 're kind of -- um , you 're kind of half - naked right now . patrick : you 're kind of half - way in front of my locker . sabrina : oh ! so -- patrick : whoa , you okay ? sabrina : yeah , sorry .

sabrina : oh . oh , well , i - i thought you 'd be busy . i did n't want to waste your time . patrick : well , it turns out i 'm free as a bird . and reviving the nurses ' ball is not a waste of time . sabrina : so -- so you 'll go with me to see mr. manning ? patrick : of course . we 're working on this together , are n't we ? sabrina : yeah . yeah , we sure are . you know , i - i think that we 'll make a , um , a really , uh -- a great -- patrick : a good team . yeah , i think so , too . you can turn around now , sabrina . sabrina : oh ! thank you -- for going with me . patrick : todd manning 's not gon na know what hit him . todd : is that for me ?

carly : yeah , really . i was just in a bad mood , and i was taking it out on you , so -- todd : why were you in such a bad mood ? carly : 'cause i was upset about michael . michael : a.j . and his lawyer are meeting with the a.d.a . to discuss a plea bargain . starr : all right , michael , i do n't want to get your hopes too high , because -- michael : a.j . has some information on a serious criminal , somebody the authorities want way more than him . and diane 's the best at making deals , so -- starr : diane -- was n't she your lawyer when -- michael : i was convicted of manslaughter . yeah . but , i mean , it was n't her fault . i confessed . there was nothing she could do . starr : oh , now i know why you 're so worried about a.j . going to prison . because you know what it 's like . michael : yeah . you know , sometimes the memories creep up on me and i think they 're gon na choke me , you know . but then i think about my life now and -- how it 's better than i ever dreamed it would be -- because of you . tracy : where 's michael ? a.j . : i do n't know . tracy : really ? a.j . : really . tracy : guess your victim act was less than successful . you probably thought you were gon na have michael glued to your hip by now . a.j . : we 're building a relationship , tracy . it takes time . tracy : really ? does michael know that ? or does he know what the rest of us quartermaines know , that you 're a black hole ? you are a bottomless pit of self - pity and incompetence . ooh , you 're gon na fit right in at pentonville . a.j . : you 'd like to see that , would n't you ? tracy : you shot my brother in the back . there is nothing i would like more than to see you in prison , especially before you and skye can do any harm to elq . a.j . : well , what if i told you that skye and i have a plan to save the company -- from you ? diane : this stimulating discussion of corporate politics is simply going to have to wait , because the d.a . is waiting on us , a.j . and , tracy , were n't you looking for robert scorpio ? tracy : i was . any time now , detective . mcbain : well , i 'm busy . although i 'm sure you know your way around a jail cell . jack , would you escort this young lady down to robert scorpio 's cell ? diane : a.j . , this is detective john mcbain . mcbain : how ya doin ? diane : he is a recent addition to the pcpd , and i understand you 're going to be joining us . mcbain : i 'm gon na be sitting in , yes . diane : well that 's good . i hope you are ready to deal , because what my client has to offer should not remain on the table too long . dante : the d.a . is backed up right now . and the charges you 're facing -- robert : ca n't you call in a favor ? dante : i 've tried . robert , robert , listen to me . i 've tried , okay ? bottom line is , you have to wait for your turn . robert : lulu -- did n't you hear what she said last night ? they were leaving on a ski expedition . i 've got to stop that . dante : it 's too late . anna 's already gone . anna : why would you say that ? there 's nothing remotely funny about faison . not even his hair . faison : i 'm sorry . i was n't trying to make light of him . i was just laughing at robert and his highly creative and paranoid theory that faison and i are one and the same . anna : yes . certainly paranoid . it 's not outside the realm of possibility , though , is it ? faison : what does that mean ? anna : what if faison 's alive ? patrick : this is perfect . timing worked out great . you ready to go ? sabrina : yeah . patrick : okay , great . britt : oh , uh , patrick . i was meaning to speak with you . i was just about to call you . patrick : actually , we 're just about to take off . britt : oh -- can it wait ? patrick : well , we have a meeting for the nurses ' ball -- a potential backer . britt : and i know that that 's really important , but i need a consult on a case . patrick : [ sighs ] what time is the appointment ? sabrina : uh , 20 minutes . britt : i would n't ask normally , but , i mean , my patient 's really having a hard time . is there any way that you could reschedule ? patrick : that 's probably not possible . manning 's busy and sabrina worked really hard to get this meeting . britt : is n't it funny how rich people think that their time is so valuable when our patients have such limited time . is there any way that this can be rearranged ? do you mind , sabrina ? sabrina : i was prepared to see mr. manning on my own , anyway , so -- i 'll just do the best i can . [ chuckles ] patrick : hey , i got confidence in you . you 're gon na do great , okay ? okay . todd : you 're upset because michael 's upset at you for calling the cops on a.j . carly : it 's complicated . todd : michael 's not even returning your calls , is he ? carly : no . and it 's driving me crazy . todd : [ chuckles ] carly : he does n't want to fight with me . and , i mean , that 's just what i do . i mean , when i 'm like this , i just let it all out there , and i ca n't hold back , and michael does n't , you know . he 's the peace maker . he wants everyone to be happy . and a.j . , he 's playing the victim . and i 'm afraid michael 's falling for it . i 'm afraid i 'm losing my kid . todd : starr has written me off , like , a million times , sworn she 's never gon na talk to me again , sworn i 'm no longer her father . here , have a seat . carly : starr adores you , and you know that . todd : 'cause i always win her back . carly : how ? todd : `` how ? `` carly : how ? yeah , after everything that you 've done , how do you win her back ? todd : after everything that i 've done . hmm . okay , let 's just say bad todd does do something hurtful or -- carly : wait a minute . `` bad todd `` ? todd : -- atrocious or -- carly : [ laughs ] todd : -- borderline homicidal . i just ask good todd to go over and talk to starr and beg for her forgiveness . carly : well , does `` good todd `` mean it when he says he 's sorry ? todd : i would like to think so , yeah . most of the time . but i still ask , even if i do n't mean what i 'm saying , because -- look , here 's the thing . starr wants to see the best in me . i just let her . carly : i do n't know if that 'll work with me and michael . todd : you need go talk to michael , and you need to admit that you were completely wrong and say that you 're sorry . even if that 's not exactly what you think , it 's not about you . it 's your job . carly : it 's not my job to lie to my kid . todd : well , then i guess you just have to get used to there being space between you and your son , michael . carly : i 'm -- i 'm not sorry , though . i 'm not sorry for trying to protect my son from a.j . , the -- todd : hey , our kids want to feel safe . so that 's what we do . we make them feel safe , even if we have to prop up the illusion that everything 's okay . carly : jason would tell me to be honest , you know . todd : oh , well , you know -- look where that got you . you were honest with michael . that 's why he turned his back on you to begin with . carly , look at you . please , i have a hard time believing there 's anyone in this world that would n't forgive you . michael : oh . sorry . starr : for what ? michael : i - i did n't mean to go there . we , uh , we said we 'd wait . starr : we never said what we were waiting for . michael : until it felt right . starr : does n't it feel right ? michael : i just do n't want to pressure you . michael : this is what i want , too . diane : this is one deal that the city of port charles can not afford not to take . mcbain : tell him . diane : juan , thank you so much for agreeing to this meeting . juan : i hear your client 's ready to confess . diane : [ chuckles ] well , i think my meaning may have been misconstrued . juan : no confession , no deal . diane : all right , do n't be so hasty . my client is in possession of information which is of great value to this government . and he is willing to trade said information for all the charges against him being dismissed . juan : look , i only took this meeting as a courtesy . diane : [ scoffs ] juan : i want this case to go to trial . i 've got signed statements from your client 's father and sister that he shot the father in the back . mcbain : just out of curiosity , what kind of information are we talking about ? diane : certainly you gentlemen are familiar with the fbi 's most wanted list . a.j . : where 's faison fit on that list ? robert : get me out of here ! dante : okay , look , i already told you the d.a . 's backed up , but i will see what i can do . robert : tracy . i did n't think you 'd come . tracy : well , i was n't sure i was gon na come , but you mentioned luke . is he all right ? where is he ? robert : turkey . tracy : [ chuckles ] robert , you want to be more specific ? is he vacationing ? is he on a bender ? is he in trouble of some kind ? robert : well , he 's there handling his situation , and i 'm here handling anna . tracy : and judging from your circumstances , anna did n't like being `` handled . `` robert : well , she had me busted for breaking into lavery 's apartment . tracy : really ? a lifetime as a secret agent . you must be slipping . robert : well , desperation makes me sloppy . i needed the proof . tracy : proof of what ? robert : brace yourself . anna : but robert 's right . faison 's remains were never found . faison : well , did n't he die in an explosion ? i mean , there 'd be nothing left to find . anna : that man cheated death before . faison : yes , well , that 's no proof that he would -- anna : it 's a reminder that i need to keep my eyes open . i 've been trained never to overlook any possibility , and i wo n't . faison : but faison was in love with you . anna : he was obsessed with me . that 's completely different . faison : but if he loved you , would n't he have found you by now ? would n't he have shown his face by this time ? anna : i do n't know . maybe . it 's just so -- unsettling to think that he could be out there somewhere . faison : then do n't think about it . stop thinking about it . anna : that 's easier said . i nearly lost everything because of him . faison : why do n't you go to your room and unpack . and we 'll see each other in a little while . anna : okay . that 's a good idea . can we not talk about him anymore ? [ lock clicks ] faison : okay . you can come out now . patrick : as long as the levels hold up , i do n't think there 's a need for surgery . britt : thank you . she 'll be so relieved . patrick : yeah . well , the way you described it , i thought it was gon na be a little more dire . it 's not really life - or - death , is it ? britt : uh , that 's my fault . i was probably just over thinking it . patrick : that 's never a bad thing with a patient . but the good news is i 've still got time to make that meeting with sabrina . britt : i would n't do that if i was you . patrick : why not ? todd : it was an assistant a while back . i fired her . she 'd only been here for , like , an hour , but -- she was n't so bad . maybe you could send -- send her over . sabrina : mr. manning ? todd : there is no crying in journalism . sabrina : oh . okay . i did n't -- i did n't know that . todd : do you know photoshop ? sabrina : i know of it . todd : good . because i 'm having a really hard time getting the horns right on johnny zacchara 's big , fat head . sabrina : wait , do n't you have a photo department for that sort of thing ? todd : private project . and no more questions . sabrina : really ? todd : that 's a question . sabrina : oh . sorry . todd : and no more opinions , either . you 're not here for that . you 're here to file and to collate and to copy . so -- do n't just stand there . get going . sabrina : o - okay . when i 'm done , can we discuss the nurses ' ball ? todd : probably not . sabrina : but we had an appointment . todd : we had an appointment for me to break you in . sabrina : `` break me in `` ? todd : yeah , as my assistant . well , as my prospective assistant . but you know what ? already i 'm gon na have to tell you -- you need to start doing things a little bit more my way , okay ? i can tell that you 're very polite , but i 'm not interested in that . in fact , i 'm gon na give you a very short list of people that you need to be nice to , and then the rest of the world -- the more rageful and contemptuous you are , the better . because the nastier the assistant , the bigger the executive . sabrina : oh , no . uh , actually , i 'm a student nurse . todd : do i look sick ? sabrina : well , i would need a thermometer -- todd : why would the temp agency send me a nurse ? sabrina : oh , no . they did n't . i mean , i 'm not from the temp agency . no , i -- sabrina santiago . i 'm here to speak with you about underwriting the nurses ' ball . todd : nurses ' ball . michael : i think we should , uh -- starr : go to your room ? michael : i thought you 'd never ask . starr : okay .

[ knock on door ] carly : michael , i -- i 've been calling you and -- i do n't do n't know -- michael : okay , look , just -- can you get the door while i get changed ? starr : yeah . no problem . michael : you know , this is a big problem for me . [ knocking continues ] starr : okay , go . go . carly : michael , i -- michael , i - i know that you -- starr . starr : hi . carly : hi , how are you ? starr : i 'm fine . how are y -- why do n't you come in ? carly : okay , thanks . is my son here ? starr : yeah , he 's just -- he 's just getting ready for the day . carly : oh , okay . um -- starr : michael ? michael : hey , mom . carly : hi . starr : okay , i 'm gon na let you two talk . carly : thank you . i 've been calling you , you know , trying to get in touch with you . michael : yeah . i 've been a little busy . carly : do n't do this , please . do n't shut me out . michael : i do n't want to fight . carly : i do n't want to fight either . i do n't . you know , i 'm actually here to apologize to you . i 'm -- sorry that i called the police on a.j . okay , no matter -- no matter my feelings about him , okay , you 're my son , and i love you , and you asked me to give you some time with a.j . , and i should have respected your wishes , and i 'm sorry , and i hope you can forgive me . tracy : this trial may not be the slam dunk that you are envisioning , given that several of the witnesses have died during the -- a.j . : wait a second . what the hell is he doing here ? ! mcbain : he 's my partner . a.j . : yeah , well , he 's also sonny corinthos ' son . diane : all right , i would not go so far to say as the detective has a conflict of interest , but it is true that his father , mr. corinthos , does have a vendetta against my client . juan : diane , diane please . do you want to grandstand , or do you want to deal ? i 'm on the clock here . dante : i 'm sorry . deal ? what deal ? mcbain : she wants us to drop all the charges . dante : what are you -- not a chance ! we got an airtight case against this guy . a.j . : i 'm a petty criminal compared to faison . dante : faison ? w - who 's talking about faison ? mcbain : he 's talking about faison . dante : oh , that 's great , a.j . what , did you take this off the internet ? a.j . : look at the time stamp , genius . that photo was taken years after his supposed death . diane : and the tech department can scan the data to their hearts ' content once we have a deal in writing , gentlemen . come on . this is a get for this department . this is the kind of arrest and conviction that makes headlines and resets career trajectories . so , do you want a.j . quartermaine , or do you want cesar faison ? robert : luke said if i called you , uh , you 'd help . tracy : well , that 's because luke thinks he can con me even second - hand . robert : look , i was mortified when i learned that he and anna had hooked up . i always hoped that she 'd do better . tracy : i 'm not gon na discuss my personal situation with you . if we 're gon na talk about luke and anna , we are going to confine ourselves to the crisis at hand . now , you have a cigarillo butt and the word of olivia falconeri , port charles ' resident psychic , and that makes you believe -- convinced -- that faison walks among us . robert : you 're gon na tell me i 'm crazy , are n't you ? tracy : luke trusts you . and if you say that faison is alive , then i say -- you and i need to find that maniac and stop him before he kills anybody else . dr. obrecht : as always , it 's a pleasure to see you . i am simply pointing out that the risk you are taking bringing that woman here -- faison : `` that woman . `` excuse me . her name is anna . and whenever you talk about her , show her a little respect and courtesy . and about my judgment -- do n't question it , all right ? dr. obrecht : i trust you implicitly . i am simply pointing out that the situation is perilous . you 've gone to a great deal of time and trouble , and anna 's presence here could be your undoing . faison : yeah , but scorpio 's interference left me no choice . i have to take a calculated risk to make anna mine . okay ? britt : look , i know you 're fond of sabrina , and so am i , but she 's not exactly beaming with confidence . taking todd manning by herself will give her a boost . it 'll show her that she has something to bring to the table . patrick : i think you underestimate sabrina . she 's determined . britt : i 'll say . patrick : what does that mean ? britt : um , i - i agree . sabrina 's very determined . this is her chance to prove herself . patrick : right , right . but we 're partners , so i should be there with her . i 'll see you later . todd : nurses have balls . sabrina : oh ! yeah , they do . at general hospital . or , at least , they used to , until they ran out of funding . here , come here . i want to show you . it was the biggest event of the year . all of port charles ' best and brightest showed up to sing and dance for a very worthy cause . todd : you 're not kidding , are you ? sabrina : no ! they sang their hearts out . todd : oh , good . look at him . he 's dressed like a lion . sabrina : yeah ! is n't that great ? todd : oh , it 's terrific . let me ask you something . why would port charles ' best and brightest do play - acting and skits and dress up and do singing and dancing ? sabrina : well , the nurses ' ball was inaugurated in 1994 at the height of the aids crisis . proceeds went to fund research , community outreach , and patient care . then the cause became even more personal two years later when someone with very close ties to the g.h . staff was diagnosed as hiv - positive . todd : yeah . why did n't that guy just have a ball ? sabrina : well , she -- died . todd : you 're trying to make me feel bad ? sabrina : well , we all feel bad . that 's the whole point . and this ball will be just the thing to lift everyone 's spirits . and it 'll raise a lot of money for such a great cause . but we need an underwriter , a fairy godmother -- or -- or a godfather , as the case may be . i 'm hoping -- it 's you . carly : so , do you forgive me ? michael : well , it 's not about forgiving you . of course i forgive you . i know you thought you were protecting me . carly : yes , yes . i 'm so glad that you understand that . michael : and i hope you understand why i need to help a.j . carly : help a.j . ? michael : he wants me to join the board at elq . he wants us to work together . carly : but you have school . michael : yeah , well , plenty of people juggle school and work . i mean , i 'll talk to my faculty adviser -- carly : but you did it before , remember ? you worked at elq before . you hated it , and you could n't wait to get out of there . michael : yeah , i know . these are different circumstances . carly : yeah , i just do n't want you making a big job commitment when a.j . 's going to prison , you know . michael : he may not go to prison , mom . if he does n't , i 'm gon na work with him at elq . i need to know you 're gon na be okay with that . carly : i 'm not okay with it , okay . i 'm not okay with it at all , and i think you 'll be making a huge mistake , michael . michael : but you 're not gon na get in my way . carly : oh , hell , yeah , i 'm gon na get in your way . mcbain : okay , say the photo 's real . does n't do any good without location , without a context . a.j . : i can provide all that . diane : provided we have a deal . dante : i thought you 'd changed , a.j . is n't that what you told michael ? that you wanted to do right by your family ? a.j . : i do . dante : well , then how can you sit here , covering your own ass , while that maniac is out on the loose ? you tell us what you know about faison , and it 'll help restore your reputation , maybe . diane : a glossy reputation is not going to do my client any good in pentonville . juan : [ clears throat ] excuse me . gentlemen ? dante : [ sighs ] juan : huh . kicking a quartermaine loose ? the press is gon na go nuts . dante : look , we have robert scorpio downstairs with his own story about faison . this is all starting to add up . mcbain : it 's your call . for what it 's worth , faison 's a much bigger threat than this guy in here . diane : i 'm sorry to interrupt , gentlemen , but i just want you to know that i 'm sure the justice department will be happy to give my client immunity and more for a shot at faison . so it can be their triumph or yours . tracy : yeah , i can probably find you a judge , and i do n't think your bail will be too prohibitive . robert : i ca n't even get a hearing right now , the d.a . 's office is so backed up . tracy : ah , yes . well , with any luck at all , they are working overtime to put my nephew in prison until the end of time . robert : do you reckon that they could put that case aside just long enough to get me out of here ? look , every second that she 's with faison , she 's in worse danger . faison : have you made all necessary preparations ? dr. obrecht : to the letter . but there is still time to change course . there are other ways to take -- [ knock on door ] anna : hey , duke ? duke ? it 's anna . carly : going in with a.j . is n't like picking the wrong college , michael . i ca n't afford to let you make that mistake . michael : it 's not up to you , mom . he 's my father . i want to get to now him . carly : he 's not your father , not in any way that counts ! michael : that 's for me to decide . carly : so go to lunch with the guy ! do n't go working with him at elq ! michael : i know you want me to cut him out of my life , but that 's not what i want . carly : oh , my god . michael -- michael , i know how a.j . operates , okay ? he will use guilt . he will use bribery . he 'll do whatever it takes to manipulate you ! michael : okay , if he 's bad as you say he is , i need to figure it out for myself . carly : but you 're vulnerable ! do n't you see that ? you 're trying to figure everything out . he 's your biological father . you 're curious about him . i get it . okay , did he tell you the plans he has for you at elq ? did he tell you anything ? michael : i do n't know . we 're throwing around ideas . carly : i bet the first order of business is to force tracy out so a.j . can take over . michael , baby , how come you ca n't see how he 's using you ? he needs your shares of elq to take over . michael : he has my support , mom . i 'm voting with him . carly : your shares are in a trust until you 're 25 years old . i 'm in control of that trust . michael : you ca n't stop me from voting my shares . carly : i can , michael . and i will . your shares will mean nothing if a.j . runs elq into the ground . excuse me . michael : is this your apology ? carly : i came here to apologize about calling the police . you going to work with a.j . at elq is a whole different story ! michael : i 'm not 5 anymore , mom ! you ca n't just tell me a.j . 's a bad person and expect me to forget he exists ! carly : no you 're right ! you 're not 5 , but let me tell you something , michael . if you want to spend time with a.j . while you still can before he goes to prison , where he belongs , and then go to school to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life and then michael , if you want to go work at elq , i will not stand in your way . michael : just save it , mom . take your shares and go . carly : [ scoffs ] i ca n't believe you do n't see what 's going on here ! michael : you were n't gon na stop until we had this fight , right ? so we had it . i lost , you won . so , uh , just go . [ door slams ] starr : that went well . sabrina : so , does the nurses ' ball have your support , mr. manning ? todd : no . absolutely not . sabrina : may i ask why ? todd : because aids is so ' 90s . it went the way of hammer pants . i mean , if anybody 's careless enough to get it now , they just -- they drink a cocktail . sabrina : i understand that that 's a common misconception , but you really -- you could n't be more wrong . yes , people are living longer , thanks to new treatments , but every single year , nearly 2 million people around the world die from aids , and thousands more contract it . todd : really ? i did not know that . sabrina : well , now that you know , will you reconsider ? todd : no , i will not reconsider . sabrina : surely you ca n't be that heartless . todd : do n't call me `` shirley . `` you know what ? it 's not that i 'm heartless . it 's that i 'm broke . jerry jacks , the bottled - water enthusiast , he took $ 18 million from me , so -- no balls for me . not even worthy balls . sabrina : for the record , mr. manning -- you 're a fool . the nurses ' ball will happen . and it will be amazing . and here you 'll be , in your great , big office , all alone , when you could have been a part of something wonderful , something that will help save lives and pay tribute to a young woman who everyone in this city loved . todd : wait . [ sighs ] sabrina : yes ? todd : look , before you go -- this is one thing that i really , really do need copied . sabrina : you can make your own damn copies , mr. manning . patrick : i 'm sorry i 'm late . sabrina : me too . maybe if you were here , you might have been able to save -- patrick : if i was here , i probably would have decked him . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : sabrina , i 'm proud of you . robin would be , too . diane : congratulations . you 're a free man . a.j . : thank you . mcbain : not yet . so , where 's faison ? a.j . : switzerland . anna : hey , duke ? dr. obrecht : what do we do ? anna : duke , i tried taking a nap , and i 'm -- i 'm kind of jet - lagged and a bit wired . [ crash ] anna : duke ? sabrina : todd manning was my last one - percenter . where are we gon na find someone rich enough who cares enough to fund the ball ? patrick : okay , hey , listen to me . this nurses ' ball is going to happen because of you , all right ? i have faith in you . britt : i could n't help but overhear . i 'm so sorry you were n't able to close the deal . i know you did your best . it 's not your fault there 's no fairy - tale ending for the ball . sabrina : there has got to be somebody who can help me save the ball . maybe she can . carly : okay , i took your advice . i did . i went to go see michael , and as much as it killed me , i told him that i was wrong . right ? i was wrong for calling the cops on a.j . and everything was going exactly the way you said that it was going to go , until michael told me that he 's going to go work for a.j . at elq . todd : right . carly : at elq ! todd : at elq . carly : so of course , i told him that it was stupid and it was a huge mistake . todd : and he was less than receptive , i 'm guessing . carly : let 's just say that good carly is no match for bad carly . [ cell phone rings ] michael : hello ? diane : michael , a.j . asked me to call you . michael : yeah , hi . how did the meeting go ? did the d.a . take the deal ? diane : well , i have very good news for you . your father 's been cleared of all charges . michael : [ exhales ] tracy : officers ! officers ! there 's a man escaping ! he 's a felon ! a.j . : relax , tracy . i 'm free . tracy : what do you mean you 're free ? a.j . : all charges dropped . tracy : that is not possible . you belong in prison . a.j . : well , i guess the d.a . found someone they wanted more than me . so i 'll see you in the boardroom . bye . robert : any news of my arraignment ? dante : no . but a.j . quartermaine backed up your story . faison is alive , and , according to a.j . , he 's in switzerland . anna : open the door , duke .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : everything ? `` everything `` covers quite a bit of territory . do you mind being a little more specific ? sam : you knew long ago that jason was jason , and you kept it from him and everyone who loved him . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] that 's ridiculous . sam : is it ? jake told me that you and laura had a secret about his dad . elizabeth : wait , i 'm sorry . you 've been interrogating my child ? a child -- what is wrong with you ? sam : do n't you dare get all self - righteous with me , you lying bitch . you knew who jason was . out of all the cruel , selfish hypocrites , you more than anyone knew how lost he was , how badly he wanted to uncover his past . you watched him struggle to find answers , and you said nothing ! elizabeth : no , that 's -- that is -- that is -- that 's not what 's -- sam : laura confirmed it ! elizabeth : you 're lying . sam : am i ? [ scene_break ] anna : okay , i really appreciate it . i do . yes . mac : hey . anna : oh ! stop doing that . mac : wow , are you okay ? my gosh , ever since you literally ran into me outside of sloane 's apartment , you 've been jumpy . why did we tear out of there like that ? anna : what did you find out ? mac : anna . anna : no , i - i - i do n't want to say anything . i 'm trying to piece stuff together in my head . just what did you learn ? mac : okay , my source was able to get me a record of sloane 's cell phone activity . now , like his computer , it does n't seem to be in use anymore . the last time it was used was to send you a text on october 14th . anna : and any texts that he received after that date , were they unread ? mac : all messages were picked up , just not responded to . now , what were you trying to confirm on the phone just then ? what exactly is going on ? anna : this does n't concern you , mac . mac : anna , anna , i know you do n't want me involved , okay ? but here i am -- involved -- for duke , for robin , for a million reasons . i am here , and you need to let me help you . please , what do n't i know ? anna : i do n't think sloane sent any of those texts to me . i do n't think he received any of my messages . i think he 's dead . mac : and you think you know who killed him ? anna : yeah . he might have been on his way to the apartment when we left . when i bumped into you in the hallway , i thought you were him . mac : him -- who 's him , and why -- why would he show up just then ? anna : when you were outside making a call , i - i found a phone number that sloane had put on the back of a business card . i - i thought i recognized the number . it looked familiar , but i - i could n't place it , so i called it from the landline . mac : mm - hmm . anna : and someone picked up . mac : someone you think is involved in sloane 's death ? anna : absolutely . mac : [ chuckles ] okay , who ? anna : paul hornsby . [ scene_break ] paul : someone is a little rusty with their lock pick . landlord : what are you doing in here ? paul : are you the landlord ? landlord : yeah , i am . paul : well , it appears someone has broken into this apartment . i 'm district attorney paul hornsby . i 'm investigating a possible crime committed here that could be part of an ongoing investigation . landlord : investigation for what ? paul : well , that 's confidential at this point , sir . my office has been trying to reach the tenant of this apartment for quite some time to no avail . i surmise that he 's skipped town without paying his rent ? landlord : yeah , the bum . for months he has n't paid the rent . paul : okay , okay , okay . i just need you to listen to me . the tenant is not important , okay ? whoever broke into this apartment within the last hour , however , is very important . now , did you see anybody unfamiliar come in or out of this building today ? landlord : uh , i think i did . [ scene_break ] ava : i do n't know anyone named raj . sonny : give me a minute . my people tell me that he 's doing business in port charles . ava : okay , so ? so , what if he is ? what has that got to do with me or my gallery ? sonny : raj runs guns , and there 's nobody in the area he 'd use to transport them but you because , you know , the jeromes are greedy and stupid and -- julian : okay , you know what , sonny ? my sister and i are both legit . sonny : we 're not talking about handguns ! julian : we 're both legit ! sonny : this guy does n't deal in small arms . we 're talking about military weapons . and whoever he 's sending them to is on the nsa blacklist . you know what that means ? you mess around with this , you end up dead or buried so deep in federal prison you never see the light of day ! ava : this is completely insane . sonny : no , it 's not insane ! i 'll tell you what 's insane is you risking my daughter 's life ! ava : i have n't done anything ! sonny : you 're -- you 're lying ! come on , ava ! these guys kill by the thousands ! they do n't care about collateral damage ! they do n't care about a beautiful , little girl ! but i do ! ava : i do ! i would never put my daughter at risk -- never ! sonny : it 's already happening . international crime . prison or death -- that 's where you 're heading . i do n't want my daughter exposed to this . ava : are you threatening me ? sonny : no , i 'm just telling you like it is . [ scene_break ] jason : you 're gon na put our relationship in danger if you keep pushing . and do n't you ever go after elizabeth like that again . carly : i did n't go after her . i 'm pretty sure she did n't come to you and ask if it was okay if she stayed with me . you took it upon herself . you bullied her . you know you did . it 's how you are . carly : how can you not see how she 's playing you ? ! the poor fragile flower , the victim -- i mean , for someone so frail , elizabeth has one hell of a grasp , because she 's latched onto you and she wo n't let go ! she 's manipulating you , jason . she is using your gratitude and playing on your obligation . she is ! she 's trying to trap you ! jason : okay , you need to stop . i know that you do n't like her , but i happen to love her . carly : really ? ! who are you trying to convince , me or yourself ? why do n't you stop running from your instinct and start learning to trust them ? jason , if you love elizabeth , great . i wish you all the happiness in the world . but more than anything , i want you to start trusting yourself . jason : [ sighs , clears throat ] i need you to not interfere again . elizabeth is going to be my wife . carly : [ sighs ] jason : i 'm not going to have her bullied or harassed , not by you or anybody else . do you understand me ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : laura would never tell you i knew who jason was and kept it from him because it 's not true . this is just one of your pathetic fantasies you 've come up with for your own selfish reasons . sam : you know , for a second there , you thought laura gave you up . i can see it in your eyes you 're scared because you know i 'm right . elizabeth : say it over and over again -- it does n't make it true . sam : [ sighs ] oh , wow , no wonder why you were so nervous at helena 's bedside . every time she was about to tell us who knew the truth about jason , you jumped in and said that she was too fragile to talk . elizabeth : yeah , well , she did die . sam : you must have been so relieved . that 's one less person to be able to reveal the kind of person that you really are , which is a liar and a thief ! you stole jason 's life ! you stole him from me ! you stole him from danny ! you know what ? you are actually worse than helena . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] sam : at least helena owned up to what she did . she did n't simper and whine and pretend to be a victim . elizabeth : i do n't know what you 're talking about . sam : you know exactly what i 'm talking about . elizabeth : no , i do n't . sam : i 'm talking about when jason asked you to marry him and you ran away . i found you in the chapel , and i - i thought you were too scared of commitment . but , no , you were sick with guilt . jason proposed to you , and i asked you why you could n't say yes , and you said it was because of me . never in a million years would i have expected that you could be so cruel . i misunderstood you that day . but now i realize that -- that -- that day in the chapel , before god , you -- you , elizabeth , had a moment of guilt . you knew who he was this entire time . elizabeth : that is not true . sam : yes , it is ! stop lying ! elizabeth : no , you stop lying -- to yourself . because we both know you are . [ scene_break ] ava : you can roll yourself in here and waste my time with all the fantasy scenarios you want . but i am not losing avery because of your baseless accusations or for any other reason . sonny : i wo n't let you risk her life . ava : i do n't know anybody named raj . and even if i did , even if i were involved with whatever you 're claiming that i 'm involved with ... sonny : you 're trafficking guns . ava : ... so , what ? ! anything you say or do from that wheelchair of yours , it is no concern of mine . you see , i used to be afraid of you a little bit . but i 'm not anymore . i mean , you 're just not the man you used to be . you 're weak ! and you will never be any kind of a threat to me again , and we both know it ! julian : okay , okay , okay . let 's just settle . everybody settle down , okay ? sonny : i 'm not like you , ava . i do n't make the same mistake twice . i do n't keep repeating myself , digging myself in a hole , falling in , trying to claw out . the hole you 're digging now -- you ai n't getting out . ava : your accusations are useless . no one is bringing me down . sonny : i guess we 'll have to see about that . thank you . [ scene_break ] patrick : thank you . epiphany : tea was pretty good , huh ? patrick : [ chuckles ] thank you for listening to me . epiphany : [ sighs ] well , listening is easy . it 's , uh , taking action that 's the hard part . but that 's not for me to say . we need to be getting back . patrick : all right , go ahead . we 're friends , right ? we trust each other . you have something to say , you say it . to be honest , i could use the advice right now . epiphany : fine . but remember -- you asked . patrick : [ chuckles ] epiphany : look ... [ sighs ] all i 've been hearing you talk about today is what you think sam is thinking and feeling . but what about what you feel ? patrick : what sam and i had -- sam and i have is special . i love sam . epiphany : well , maybe you need to remind sam of that . look , if you -- if you want that woman , if you love that woman , you need to show her -- the sooner , the better . [ scene_break ] sam : you 're calling me a liar ? elizabeth : you lie every time you open your mouth and tell patrick you love him , that you 're committed to him . it is so damn obvious that deep down what you really want is a jason morgan who no longer exists . and you hate me , because you ca n't have him . sam : no , no , we 're talking about you right now . elizabeth : you want honesty , samantha ? i will give you honesty . the truth is you are a pathetic and jealous woman who is determined to cause trouble for me , because you think you lost something , and i ended up with it . i did n't take anything from you . your husband is gone . jason is a different person . he loves me now . and you 're gon na have to deal with it , because there is no way in hell i 'm gon na let anyone have jason . [ scene_break ] carly : i only want what 's best for you . jason : i know you do . carly : it is n't elizabeth . jason : carly , you need to stop . carly : i heard you , and i will stop pushing . jason : good . thank you . carly : can i ask you a question ? jason : [ chuckles ] sure . carly : when do you feel most alive ? is it when you 're with elizabeth ? jason : okay , you need to stop . you do n't listen . carly : or with sam breaking into nikolas ' study ? jason : [ groans ] carly : or saving sonny from those gunmen ? do you know why you 're such a good fighter , such an expert shot ? because you trained yourself to protect the people you care about , and you loved it . you loved the risk , the adrenaline rush , putting your life on the line , and elizabeth will never accept that part of you . jason : do you realize that you 're describing a criminal , a killer ? i do n't want that life . carly : so , what ? ! you do n't have to ever pick up a gun again . but your past is so much more than violence , and i do n't want you walking through your life half - alive . i think marrying elizabeth is a mistake . but you 're right -- it 's your decision to make . jason : [ sighs ] carly : i need to say one more thing . jason : of course , you do . carly : it used to be me who would make up my mind to do something , and you were the one that could see that it was gon na end in disaster . but you never stopped me . you always let me make my own choices , but you did always tell me to take a deep breath and count to 10 before i did something i could n't take back . it 's my turn . take a deep breath and count to 10 . [ scene_break ] ava : i think you 're right . i think if i gave this to alexis , it would be a little awkward . but , you know , you could give it to her . i think it would look lovely in your new house , do n't you ? julian : what the hell are you doing , ava ? ava : what ? giving you gift advice ? julian : are you really running guns with raj ? ava : no ! absolutely not . julian : sonny seemed pretty damn sure . ava : well , sonny 's causing trouble because he 's a - a vicious , vindictive excuse for a human being and because i have avery and he never will . julian : okay . so , this , uh -- this new boyfriend you 're seeing , please tell me it 's not raj . ava : oh , would you give me a little credit ? julian : okay , you said yourself you were seeing somebody new . ava : well , i 'm not seeing anybody named raj . julian : okay , so , who you seeing ? [ scene_break ] landlord : i was coming back with my groceries , and i noticed a guy not familiar enter the building . paul : did you speak with this guy ? landlord : no , i was a half a block away , and , uh , i only saw him from behind . i did n't get a look at his face . but his back definitely was not familiar . paul : okay . i need you to , uh -- i need you to listen carefully . this could be the start of an important investigation . your discretion is needed here , okay ? now , if you can keep a lid on this -- tell no one i was here -- i 'm sure there 's a way that my office can quietly pay for the damage that was done to the lock that was tampered with . landlord : oh , that 's , uh -- paul : perhaps even pay for some of the back rent that is due to you . landlord : oh . well , you got it . [ chuckles ] i 'll be as quiet as a grave . paul : good . terrific . well , if you could give me a little time alone here to check things out , i 'd appreciate it . landlord : it 's okay . [ scene_break ] mac : paul hornsby and i arrived in port charles about the same time . why , i mean , he was a dangerous character back then , as you well know . anna : right , he was involved in that cartel faison was mixed up in , right ? mac : yeah , well , as the story goes , he gave up his criminal activities once he left port charles years ago with jenny . anna : appearances can be deceiving . mac : you really think he 's involved in sloane 's death ? anna : yeah . i was on the phone with the medical examiner just now -- mac : you still have a contact there ? anna : i do . it 's the assistant me . he 's great . and he 's the one that performed the autopsy on the body that was pulled from the river . now , he -- he estimates that the victim died sometime in late september . there is no hard evidence that sloane was alive at that point . mac : if hornsby 's phone number was in sloane 's apartment , that means they 're connected . so ? anna : what if -- what if paul killed sloane , passed him off as carlos , and then cremated his remains ? mac : [ sighs ] wow . i mean , that 's a huge accusation . anna : i know . it 's just conjecture right now . i mean , there 's no reason to -- to involve jordan or anyone . mac : especially given that hornsby is the new da and apparently buddy - buddy with the mayor . anna : yeah . mac : so you think -- you think hornsby killed sloane , took his phone , and he 's the one that sent you those last text messages ? anna : i mean , if carlos is alive , paul has no leverage with me because i did n't kill him . mac : well , then , we 've got to find carlos . do you think hornsby knows where he is ? anna : that 's hard to say . paul seems to have this method of eliminating all his co - conspirators . i would imagine that carlos is on the run . and if i 'm seen to be looking for him , that is gon na tip paul off that i 'm on to something he does n't want me to know . mac : well , if what you 're saying is true , hornsby is very dangerous . anna : what i need to find out i - is what he came here to accomplish . why did he come back to port charles ? i think that would help make sense of everything . mac : i think i know where to start with that . [ scene_break ] [ elevator bell dings ] epiphany : mr. corinthos , nice to see you . you mind telling me where you 've been ? you missed half your session . carly : what ? epiphany : all right . well , i 'll see you two later . sonny : thank you , epiphany . epiphany : [ chuckling ] mm - hmm . carly : what 's going on ? sonny : freddie , can you take a break ? freddie : okay , boss . carly : [ sighs ] sonny , these appointments are really important . and you had a meeting with patrick this morning . did you miss that ? sonny : i saw -- i saw patrick . i 'll explain later . um , but you were supposed to come to the session , and you did n't . no coffee clearly , so i 'm not the only one who 's late . carly : i took a detour so i could bang my head against the wall . sonny : what 's wrong with morgan ? carly : it 's not morgan . no , it 's not morgan . i went to get you coffee , and i went to kelly 's . and i ran into jason , who is about to make the biggest mistake of his life . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i think we 're done here . sam : you know , maybe i do n't have proof that you 've been lying to jason for months , but i can damn well get it . elizabeth : there 's nothing to prove , sam , because it did n't happen . sam : it happened ! you know it happened , and i will prove that it happened . elizabeth : [ sighs ] sam : and when i do , you will regret every day that you deliberately kept jason away from danny , his very own son ! you , elizabeth , belong in hell for that ! elizabeth : get out ! jason : what the hell 's going on here ?

[ scene_break ] paul : i will find you . whoever you are . [ scene_break ] ava : julian , please stop harping on something that is n't important , okay ? i already told you this ... fling that i 'm having is not serious . i 'm just not ready to talk about it unless it becomes something more . julian : okay . okay , i ... i get it . [ sighs ] you know , ava , a - as i 've talked to you about , i 'm out of the business . you know , i promised alexis and myself that i 'm -- that i 'm done , so ... ava : i know . julian : i - i 'm -- that being said , i 'm not gon na ask you any more questions about raj or guns . ava : good . julian : but i am still your brother . listen to what i need to tell you . and please keep it in mind when you 're doing whatever it is you 're planning on doing . ava : i 'm listening . julian : [ sighs ] do not underestimate sonny , okay ? he may be down right now , but he is definitely not out . [ scene_break ] carly : and jason was so mad at me . but i ca n't stand by and let him marry elizabeth . i just ca n't do it . sonny : how you gon na stop it , carly ? you want me to get max to get some guys and go lock up jason ? it 's only gon na piss him off more . carly : no . i do n't want you to lock up jason . even though that 's basically what elizabeth is doing . i mean , she 's working overtime to try and tie him down so , by the time he remembers , he ca n't leave her . which proves that she does n't really love him , because if she did , she 'd want to put his happiness in front of her own ! sonny : maybe she thinks that jason 's happy with her . carly : oh , come on . sonny : well -- carly : elizabeth knows as well as you and i that sam is the love of jason 's life . there 's no arguing with him , though . he may not remember who he is , but he 's as stubborn as he ever was . i just want to get through to him , sonny , you know ? i just want to reach inside and get through to the man i know he really is . sonny : i get it . we both want our jason back ... carly : yes . sonny : his abilities , his memories . there 's no one i need more right now than jason .

carly goes to urge jason to reconsider marrying elizabeth . she adamantly tells him it 's a big mistake as she continues to remember all about the life of jason morgan and how elizabeth would hold him down and prevent him from being who he really is . yet , he just as adamantly tells carly he has no memory of the jason morgan she keeps telling him about . he tells her he plans to marry elizabeth although he knows she approached , intimidated and `` bullied `` his fiance into believing what carly believes , that she is not right for him . jason angrily tells carly she needs to stop pushing her values on them and affirms to her that he 's going to marry elizabeth regardless of anything she says . meanwhile , sam goes to pay elizabeth a visit , telling her she knows with certainty , although she can not prove , that elizabeth and laura were in on the secret , with nikolas , about who jason really was yet hid it from him . she tells elizabeth she has not fooled her for a minute , knowing all too well of the drastic and desperate measures elizabeth has gone to , to scam jason in order to `` hold onto `` him . sonny skips his pt appointment to find ava and let both her and julian know that she is involved in dealings that could have her killed or put in prison and he wo n't allow her to put his daughter in danger with this . alone with his sister , julian expresses the same concern about what she may be getting herself into . ava realizes that paul is putting her up to doing work for him yet not telling her anything about it . meanwhile , anna finds out that sloane has had dealings with paul and concludes , to mac , that it makes sense to assume sloane is dead and paul killed him although she can not prove it . paul knows that `` someone `` is onto him about sloane but can not figure out who it is .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sam : julian set the bomb in his own car . the whole thing was staged to frame sonny ? jason : yeah , that 's what we 're thinking . julian had pete drive him to the floating rib , then he had pete lured away from the car so that the bomb could be planted , and then he was gon na have pete run an errand . curtis : pete gets killed , sonny gets the blame . jason : yeah . nobody could perceive morgan stealing the car . sam : [ groans ] so julian is really the one to blame for morgan 's death . curtis : well , it 's all speculation at this point . we do n't have much in the way of proof . julian was real careful in covering his tracks , and pete was killed before he could talk . sam : but the van with the fake logo was so easy to find . why would julian be so careful about some things and so sloppy about others ? curtis : well , the problem is , we ca n't see the full picture until we get all the information . we might , though , if we combine our resources . jason : we 've told you everything we know . curtis : well , then , we might think about taking this to the cops .

[ groans ] nathan : we are amateurs . maxie : [ panting ] yes . but it 's like how you always cl - clean up before the cleaning lady gets here . you know , we do n't want her to think we look like sl- slobs or something . nathan : well , i ca n't argue with that logic . let 's dance . maxie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jason : you want to go to the cops ? curtis : look , look , look , look . hear me out on this , you guys . we 're all working on the same case , and they have access to information and resources that we do n't . jason : curtis , hear me out , please . if we 're right and julian set this whole thing up , then the cops played right into his hands and they pinned that bomb on sonny , and the cops have been trying to get sonny for a very long time . so they 're not gon na readily admit that they were wrong . sam : uh , i happen to be with jason on this one . i -- i do n't think we can trust the cops . curtis : okay . fair enough . just -- let me say something to them , okay ? i have a few connections over at the pd , and the response may or may not be favorable , but at least they 'll hear me out . sam : um , we 're gon na be late . we got to go . jason : ah , that 's right . w - we have an appointment . we have to -- we have to go . look , uh , do me a favor , curtis . just sit on this for a little while . do n't talk to anybody until we can talk about it further , okay ? we 'll see you soon , okay ? all right ? curtis : yeah . jason : all right . curtis : sure . jason : ready ? curtis : get out there ! no problem . [ scene_break ] andré : considering our history , i feel the best solution would be to refer you to another psychiatrist , possibly dr. wagner . anna : oh ! no , no . no , sorry . i 'm -- i 'm not here as a patient . i did n't mean to mislead you , no . um , i wonder if you would consult on a case i 'm working -- would you be comfortable doing something like that ? andré : we 're both professionals . i feel confident that we can conduct any conversation accordingly . anna : [ chuckles ] i need some insight into the subject of this very difficult investigation . andré : who 's your target ? anna : valentin cassadine . [ scene_break ] valentin : can you think of anything i 'm missing ? nina : um ... let 's see . hey . does n't charlotte have a stocking ? valentin : uh , yes , but she puts it up christmas eve . nina : oh ! i used to do that . except i put it in the play room . my mom did n't want it to clash with her theme . valentin : she had a theme ? nina : yes . oh , yeah . my mom had a theme . she had a decorator decorate our apartment in a theme for christmas . every single year , a different theme . usually , the centerpiece was a two - story - high tree , flocked . gorgeous crystal ornaments or silver ornaments , and ... there was n't a present in sight . nothing under the tree . not a gift . the reeves house was not a house of joy and togetherness for christmas . it was -- it was a place to socialize with business associates . valentin : sounds wonderful for a child . nina : [ laughing ] yeah . yeah . i had a lot of gifts , got a lot of presents picked out by assistants and personal shoppers . but christmas was always very glittery and extravagant ... and completely empty . you ? valentin : no , i did not have any gifts picked out by personal assistants or personal shoppers . i - i did have a gift one year . it was mrs. thaxton . nina : who mrs. thaxton ? valentin : she was a cook at school . she saw that i was n't going home that first year , and she knitted me a scarf . and i kept it for years . nina : you do n't have it anymore ? valentin : no , i was an idiot and i put it in some checked bags one year while traveling over the holidays , and the airline lost the bag . that was the closest thing to a holiday keepsake i ever had . nina : trying to picture you as a little boy wearing your christmas scarf . valentin : trying to picture you as a little girl opening gifts in a play room . nina : oh . i should go . valentin : no , no . nina : yes . valentin : i was about to ask you to stay for dinner . nina : no , no , no . i have to because i only really came to , um , give charlotte that gift , and you know what ? tell her to open it right away . valentin : is it a puppy ? nina : [ chuckling ] no . no . definitely not . not a puppy . i 'd never do that . no , it 's an advent calendar , and if she opens it on christmas , i mean , what 's the point , right ? valentin : you wo n't stay ? nina : mnh - mnh . no . we 've already spent too much time together as it is . edgar : mr. cassadine . valentin : what is it , edgar ? edgar : the storm has hit . there 's wind , rain , and heavy chop on the water . nina : what does that mean ? edgar : the launch has been grounded . no one is leaving spoon island tonight . [ scene_break ] lulu : we heard about charlotte for a couple weeks now , ever since that claudette said that nathan was her father . dante : uh - huh . lulu : the first time i saw charlotte , i - i had , like , a physical reaction . i felt an immediate need to protect her . dante : okay , well , that 's understandable . she 's nikolas ' cousin . her father 's a lunatic . you were concerned for her . lulu : no , no . this is -- this is more than concern . i literally feel a pull towards charlotte . almost the same way i feel towards rocco . dante : [ sighs ] okay , what are you -- what are you -- what are you saying ? lulu : do you think it 's possible that charlotte is my daughter ? [ scene_break ] curtis : ooh . hey , hey . just the woman i wanted to see . jordan : not now . not ever . curtis : well , look , i - i just wanted to talk . jordan : okay . that would mean that you want something , and -- and guess what ? i 'm all out of whatever it is that you want . so can you just leave , please ? curtis : look , seriously , i 'm here on professional stuff only . jordan : you got 30 seconds . curtis : it 's about the corinthos case . car bomb . jordan : did n't i tell you repeatedly to leave that alone ? okay ? the police department -- we are in the middle of this investigation . we do n't need civilian involvement . curtis : okay , i get that . uh ... look . i have some , uh , important information that i know you could use , and you definitely have something i 'm missing , too . so why do n't we share , you know ? show me yours , and i 'll show you mine . [ scene_break ] sam : wow , how great is it that dr. lee was able to actually fit us in today ? jason : i think it 's great that i 'm able to be here with you today . sam : mm - hmm . i agree . gives us the chance to talk . what do you think about curtis ' idea ? jason : uh , you mean about going to the cops ? sam : mm - hmm . jason : i get what he 's trying to do . it just would never work in the real world . i mean , look , let 's be frank . the powers that be here in port charles have been trying to put this man away for years . sam : yeah . jason : and the last thing the cops want to find is anything that exonerates him , so if they do ... it would mean -- sam : you think they 'll try and bury it ? jason : no , no , no , no , no . i would n't go that far . this commissioner -- she seems honest . i do n't think she 's gon na give sonny the benefit of the doubt , but ... sam : [ groans ] no . jason : she 's definitely not gon na share information with anybody that 's trying to save him . sam : i understand that , and i do n't think this case should have ever gone as far as it did . the only reason why they got this so - called confession is because sonny was grieving over morgan . jason : yeah . okay , look . at least we 're making progress , finally . i think soon , this case will be dropped . sonny will be free . sam : and then what ? jason : `` and then what , `` what ? what do you mean ? what are you talking about ? sam : i mean aurora ? leaving ? is that still something you want to do ? [ scene_break ] lulu : you think i 'm crazy . dante : no . lulu : okay , so do i , but tell me -- why would i feel so strongly about a child i have never met until today ? dante : i do n't know . how could charlotte be your daughter ? lulu : the -- the embryo that helena made from me and stavros has never been recovered . dante : yeah , because it was probably destroyed in the explosion that took down crichton - clark . lulu : and then comes charlotte , who is a cassadine , is the right age , and she has blonde hair . dante : so ? her mother was a blonde . lulu : how do we know that claudette was really charlotte 's mom ? [ scene_break ] valentin : oh , i love you , too . no , no , no . enjoy your , uh , sleepover with mrs. evans , and i 'll come get you first thing in the morning . all right . je t'aime . [ sighs ] nina : is everything okay with charlotte ? valentin : yeah , yeah . she 's snug as a bug in a rug at the metro court with her nanny . nina : what about you ? valentin : what can i get you for dinner ? nina : uh , that -- valentin : my guy can make anything . nina : no , no . it wo n't be necessary . valentin : you 're not hungry ? nina : i 'm leaving . i 'm not gon na stay . valentin : what ? you heard the launch captain . it 's pouring rain outside ! nina : he works for you . he works for you . why did you do that ? we were having such a great time together , and then you have to ruin everything by manipulating me . valentin : i 'm not manipulating anything . nina : mm - hmm . valentin : it is pouring rain out there . i am not in control of the weather . nina : i 'm gon na see myself out . thank you very much . valentin : 3 ... 2 ... 1 . nina : oh ! [ groans ] valentin : you were saying ? [ scene_break ] andré : this is n't a typical wsb profile . anna : no , i know . i admit , it 's very slim . andré : please . anna : but you 're a capable profiler . andré : what are you hoping to find ? anna : well , the man has an agenda . i need to figure out what that is . andré : this is interesting . anna : what ? andré : valentin 's alias , theo hart . anna : mm - hmm . andré : i know that name . anna : you do ? andré : he was part of an international diamond - theft ring . i had them under observation when i did a stint in the ukraine . anna : do you remember any details ? andré : uh , they were smart and connected . just as we were ready to make an arrest , they closed up shop and disappeared . anna : sounds like valentin . andré : this is everything that you 've got on his background ? anna : well , i mean , i managed to reconstruct a basic timeline . you know ? he was born out of wedlock to mikkos cassadine and an unknown woman , probably a local . i mean , that 's just speculation on my part . and then valentin , around the age of 5 or something like that , he was sent to school in england . uh , bedlington academy . um , he was a permanent boarder there , and he remained there until he found his way to oxford , where he studied linguistics . andré : well , we can get some insight from valentin 's transcripts from this bedlington academy . anna : those files no longer exist . a few years after he left the school , it burned to the ground , and all records were lost . andré : i do n't suspect it was an electrical fire . anna : it was arson . andré : you think it was valentin ? anna : i 'm sure it was . andré : why ? anna : to bury whatever it is he 's hiding about his past that i intend to uncover . [ scene_break ] jordan : did n't you tell me that julian fired you ? curtis : yeah , he did . jordan : then why are you still investigating ? curtis : oh , i 'm all about that truth . i want to make sure the right person gets put away for morgan 's murder . jordan : right , and who 's footing the bill in all of this ? curtis : it 's all on me . i got it . jordan : [ chuckles ] curtis : what ? jordan : okay . curtis : why is that so hard for you to believe ? jordan : no , well , hey , it 's -- um , it 's because it 's you , curtis . curtis : [ scoffs ] jordan : you 're not really known for your altruism , so , what is your angle in all of this ? curtis : truth , justice , and the american way . jordan : that 's very cute . curtis : look , jordan , i know -- look . y - you do n't have to like me , but you do need my help . and i 'm keenly aware that lomax is on your back . now , if you want her off , ol ' curtis has something you need . jordan : is that so ? curtis : oh , that 's so . jordan : uh , walker . walker . walker : hey . jordan : uh , excuse me . i just want to borrow these for a minute . curtis : [ exhales sharply ] oh , damn . jordan : your right wrist .

[ scene_break ] [ jazz music plays ] maxie : no , no , no . mnh - mnh . nathan : what ? maxie : this is not our wedding song . nathan : wha -- you just got to get loosened up a little bit . come on . it 'll be fun . maxie : you 're joking , right ? nathan : no , i mean , if you dive right into the deep end , it makes it easier to swim to shore , right ? right ? maxie : you are such a dweeb . nathan : right , right ? come here , come here . maxie : i 'm lucky to have you . nathan : i know . maxie : [ giggles ] nathan : okay . maxie : yeah , yeah . nathan : spin ? [ cell phone chimes ] nathan : oh ! maxie : oh , my phone ! nathan : [ groans ] maxie : oh , my god ! [ scene_break ] lulu : we know that helena hired daphne as a surrogate to carry the embryo . so for whatever reason , maybe she changed her mind about daphne , and she hired claudette instead . dante : why would she do that ? lulu : i -- i do n't know why . i 'm just saying that it is possible . all of those paternity tests that were run on charlotte , no one ever checked to see if claudette was actually her biological mother . dante : okay , you 're right , there is no dna proof that claudette is charlotte 's mother , but there is dna proof that valentin is her father . anna and griffin did the paternity test . they said they made sure no one could tamper with it . lulu : [ scoffs ] i know where you 're going with that . dante : charlotte ca n't be from your embryo because ... she 's not stavros ' child . she 's valentin 's . [ scene_break ] valentin : here you go . nina : it 's a monsoon out there . valentin : i tried to warn you . here , these are at least , uh , clean . nina : okay . what -- what are those ? who -- who do those belong to ? valentin : i found them in one of the guest rooms . i think they belonged to nikolas ' fiancée britt ? nina : that 's my cousin . valentin : oh . nina : thanks . valentin : small world . well , get yourself dry , and i 'll go check on dinner . nina : looks like you got what you wanted after all . valentin : yeah , i guess i did . [ scene_break ] andré : well , it 's certainly possible that valentin burned the school to cover up a secret from his past , but it 's also possible that he was seeking closure , even catharsis . anna : oh , that 's interesting . andré : he was sent to the school as a small child . he might have resented it , seen it as a place of exile , even imprisonment . he might have felt abandoned , even powerless . anna : he said he was very lonely as a child , that he spent a lot of time alone reading and studying . andré : and then once he was an adult and he felt empowered , he went back to the place , the source of his powerlessness , his greatest unhappiness . this could be indicative of a deep - seeded inferiority complex . anna : oh , my god . when -- when i first questioned him , i was pushing him about the whole daddy issue . andré : mm - hmm . anna : and he seemed to stammer . andré : a stammer ? anna : yeah . i mean , he recovered very quickly , but -- andré : well , a stammer could be a reminder of the powerlessness he felt as a child , a last remnant of that which he hates about himself . anna : it 's more than that , though . i know it . andré : what 's going on , anna ? what is it about valentin in particular ? why is this case giving you so much trouble ? anna : i find it very unsettling that he has researched me . andré : what do you mean ? anna : after charlotte 's hearing , valentin came over to me , and he said , `` aperi oculos tuos . `` andré : `` open your eyes . `` anna : right . andré : the motto for the wsb training facility . anna : exactly . and when i confronted him , he said it was a coincidence . andré : well , he studied linguistics at oxford . maybe he likes quoting latin phrases . anna : [ chuckling ] oh , god . and i have bridge to sell you . andré : all right . okay . so valentin deliberately quoted a wsb motto . so what ? it 's no secret that you 're associated with the wsb . anna : this -- [ sighs ] there just seems to be more . i - i just ... he seems familiar to me . his eyes or something . andré : like you know him from somewhere ? anna : like he knows me . [ scene_break ] valentin : voilà . coq au vin avec puree pomme de terre . chicken with potatoes , but sexier . we can eat by the fire . nina : thank you . valentin : my guy is really good . i 'm very lucky to have him . nina : i 'm sure it 's delicious . looks great . valentin : nina . nina : yes ? valentin : you 're nervous . nina : n - no . no . yeah . [ clears throat ] yeah , i 'm a little -- you make me nervous . valentin : so , my many detractors have convinced you i 'm someone to fear . nina : well , no , not nervous like that . i mean ... yeah , i 've been warned about you . for sure . but then i realized that i 've spent more time with you ... than any of them , so ... valentin : that 's probably true . nina : yeah , it 's true . no , i 'm nervous because -- can you please -- um ... just -- we 're sitting here eating ... in front of the fire , and it 's -- it feels like the start of something . it makes me nervous . valentin : maybe it is . nina : [ chuckles ] listen . i 've had two relationships in my life . two . the first one , he was cold and distant , and the second one -- oh , god . i invested so much time into that and believed in it and really saw a future , and he just did n't see a future with me . valentin : if it 's any consolation , i had the same thing happen to me . i saw a future with somebody who ... did n't see a future with me . nina : claudette ? valentin : somebody else . [ scene_break ] lulu : maybe the dna results were misleading . maybe they were misinterpreted . stavros and valentin -- they 're -- they 're brothers . dante : okay . all right . say that is what happened , that charlotte is stavros ' child . would she not then be considered a potential rival for the cassadine estate ? lulu : no , no . my mom said that mikkos left everything to valentin . dante : so , valentin just wants to eliminate all the other cassadines just to be sure . that 's why your mother sent spencer away to school . i mean , that -- that 's obviously why charlotte is still alive , because she 's not stavros ' child . lulu : you 're right . yeah , that 's -- that 's true . that -- that makes sense . i think maybe i just wanted charlotte to be my daughter . dante : i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] jason : when we first talked about moving to aurora , elizabeth was also thinking about leaving town , but now that she 's gon na stay , i just -- i do n't want to be that far away from jake . sam : it 's okay , it 's okay . we do n't have to make any decisions yet . i just wanted to hear what you were thinking . jason : with everything that 's going on with sonny and morgan ... i just think this is the wrong time for us to move . but i - if you think differently , i 'm all ears . sam : no , i -- i want to know what happened to morgan as much as you do . of course . that means staying here . jason : you sure ? sam : yeah , i 'm sure . we can figure out what 's next later . okay ? jason : speaking of what 's next . dr. lee : hi . sam : ooh ! thank you for fitting us in . dr. lee : uh - huh . sam : oh ! dr. lee : you 're looking good . sam : thank you . i - i 'm feeling pretty great , too . dr. lee : well , i 'm glad you 're here , jason . jason : hi . dr. lee : are you ready to meet your baby ? sam : [ chuckles ] [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] curtis : you have no grounds to detain me .

thanks to a switch in judges at nik 's sentencing , ric 's attempts to be merciful fall on deaf ears and the judge deems nik arrogant , callous , and worthy of the death penalty . alcazar interrupts dillon and georgi 's bobbsey twin routine as they try to help brooke help diego . their story is bought , so they go free . courtney is terrified and unwilling to meet lady jane . skye and luke are forced to sing when they go undercover to try and find laura in a blues club . they are booed off stage , as both are truly awful , despite the fact that skye 's character originated on amc as a singer . alexis and ric attempt to use helena 's history to help nik but the judge is obstinate and refuses . jason catches brooke and diego snooping at sonny 's apartment , and his call delays courtney 's big meeting . even tracy comes through for emily when it comes to character witnessing for nik . sam and courtney have a heart to heart about jason . lady jane has doubts about courtney , who on overhearing , reassures her . luke finds laura 's paid companion .

alexis : hi . nikolas : hi . thank you for coming . alexis : oh . it 's ok . how 's your arm ? nikolas : oh , it 's getting better . alexis : you know , this is the second time that i 've been here today . i brought the girls , and kristina 's taken a liking to hot chocolate and watercress sandwiches . nikolas : ooh . sorry i missed that . [ alexis chuckles ] nikolas : this is about business . i -- i need my trusted lawyer . alexis : consider me on retainer . sit . nikolas : well , when i arrived home this evening , i found my divorce papers waiting for me , so i -- i just want to make sure that i completely understand . if i sign them , divorce is final , right ? alexis : that 's correct . maybe you do n't want to sign them . [ scene_break ] luke : hey , blondie ? i need your help -- well , more importantly , carly needs your help . [ scene_break ] robin : what are you doing ? jason : well , i 'm going to stop sam and carly from begging that doctor to do the surgery . robin : well , let them , then . the only thing that 's important now is getting patrick to save your life . [ scene_break ] carly : sam , the doctor and i are in the middle of very important negotiations . sam : well , we 're wasting time that jason does n't have . it 's obvious that dr. drake bailed on jason 's surgery because he does n't have what it takes . patrick : the hell i do n't . [ scene_break ] luke : look , my niece is teetering on the brink of better mental health and i want to give her a leg up , so i 'm hoping that you , as her best friend , will help me put her on her feet . courtney : ok , whatever you 're selling , i 'm not buying . luke : she needs encouragement from the people who care about her most . courtney : and that does n't include you . i have a meeting -- luke : wait , wait . the metro court hotel -- carly wants to buy it , jax is being reluctant , so i 'm thinking maybe you could just whisper in his ear a little bit and help her out . courtney : and why would i do that ? and why do you suddenly care ? luke : she 's my niece . and whether you know it or not , i have a wife who has lost her battle for mental health . i know what carly 's going through . courtney : what does luke spencer get out of this ? luke : well , i do n't know . maybe i 'll just be a broad shoulder for carly to lean on or maybe i 'll be a trusted advisor and help her out . the point is , you need to talk jax into selling the hotel . courtney : jax and i want an amicable divorce , ok ? the last thing i need to do is alienate him because you 've convinced carly to try and buy his hotel . it 's a delicate situation . luke : so is carly 's mental health , and i thought , since you are her best friend , you 'd want to help . courtney : ok , if you honestly care about carly -- which i sincerely doubt -- you will leave her alone and let the professionals help her . why do n't you leave jax alone , too , while you 're at it ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : the divorce is just a formality . the marriage was over a long time ago . alexis : nothing is over , as long as the two of you have feelings for each other . nikolas : alexis , the distance between us , the things that we went through -- they were just too much to take . alexis : my darling nephew , who i love to death , let me just put forth a theory if you do n't mind . you and emily hit a bumpy road . actually , it was a gigantic pothole , but fate took its twists and turns and you ended up in the arms of courtney matthews who , coincidentally , is the wife of my best friend and ex- husband , but that 's beside the point . or not , because when you and emily 's marriage hit the fan , a lot of people had to duck the debris . nikolas : ok , i know there 's a point here somewhere . alexis : i have one , i have a point . sometimes it just takes me a little while to get there . where was i ? oh -- hearts were broken and lives were trashed , and that 's the truth and you have to live with that , mister . nikolas : that 's what you think this is about -- my ego ? alexis : see , if you did n't follow through with this thing with courtney , then you would 've looked like you were failing , and a lot of people 's pain could 've been avoided . baggage , nikolas . you came into this relationship with baggage , and this relationship already had a lot of baggage . nikolas : yeah , but courtney and i are in love . alexis : all righty . if that 's the case , then i -- i do wish you happiness . i just really want you to give some thought to your motives because guilt is a lousy foundation for any relationship . [ scene_break ] jason : robin , sam and carly are wasting their time . this doctor friend of yours already said he does n't want to operate . robin : he 's no friend of mine , and if sam and carly can convince him , then i 'm all for it . jason : well , i 'm not . i do n't want carly ; i do n't want sam ; i do n't want anyone begging for me . robin : how many years have you taken care of everyone else ? let someone do the same for you . look , maybe you 've made peace with whatever 's ahead . but some people just ca n't stand by and watch you die without making every conceivable effort . should i be the one to tell sam to give up on you ? i did n't think so . i mean , why do you think that i put up with patrick 's overblown ego and obnoxious behavior ? because when i could n't save you , i had to find someone who could . jason : i do appreciate everything you 've tried . robin : ok , then prove it . just hang on a little longer , please . do n't let your pride get in the way of your life . i do hope you appreciate the irony . carly and sam hate each other , carly and i hate each other . but all of us are willing to put that aside and help you . you can thank us later .

nikolas : you 're leaving tonight ? colleen : i think it 's best . nikolas : ok , but i -- i did n't anticipate you leaving until after new year 's . colleen : do n't misunderstand . i have no expectation of being paid for time i have n't worked . nikolas : no , no , it 's not about -- it 's not about money , but i 'd like to know why you suddenly decided to leave now . [ scene_break ] patrick : why has n't this been updated ? epiphany : excuse me ? patrick : i left specific instructions for mr. owen to be monitored on the hour , every hour . epiphany : if you want a patient monitored every hour , say that . and if this lovely mood is the result of a fight with dr. scorpio , i suggest you take it out on her and not the staff . [ scene_break ] robin : i know , i know , surprise , i should 've called . sonny : no , i 'm always happy to see you . robin : i wo n't take up too much of your time . i just -- sonny : you can take up as much time as you want . but you seem a little fidgety . what 's going on ? robin : yeah . you know , i just -- i need an objective opinion from someone who knows -- sonny : uh - huh . robin : and you 're it . well , you 're the only one , actually . sonny : ok . i 'll give it my best shot . robin : ok , ok . you knew stone and i together . you know how much i loved him . you saw how devastated i was when he died . sonny : yeah . robin : and you saw me struggle and then decide to get on with my life , right ? the operative word being `` decide . `` i made a conscious decision to reassemble what was left of my heart and get on with the business of living . so , i mean , it must be obvious to you -- i mean , to anyone , except arrogant , know - it - all patrick -- that i 'm not suffering from anything resembling survivor 's guilt . sonny : of course you are . [ scene_break ] jason : i did n't realize you were in so much pain . lulu : you do n't have to sugarcoat it . i 'm a lot stronger than i look right now , so why do n't you just say what you really mean ? you did n't know that i lost my virginity based on a lie , and hit the jackpot and wound up pregnant . and then i decided to have an abortion , rather than live with the consequences of my actions . and now , you 're stuck with me in the middle of nowhere . and i just had a major meltdown , and you 're trying to figure out how to keep me in once piece long enough so that we can go to oakfield and you can find spinelli so that you can get your life back on track . jason : do you ever stop to breathe ? just breathe . ok , look , finding spinelli will be a lot easier with you , but if you 're not up for it , i 'll take -- lulu : do n't you dare -- dare feel sorry for me right now . [ scene_break ] nikolas : colleen , i -- i think i deserve an explanation . i mean , why are you leaving now , instead of after new year 's ? colleen : your son is a very sensitive boy . spencer 's in tune with emotions , his own and other people 's . and as hard as i might try , i know myself . i wo n't be able to hide how sad i am to be leaving him . and since the very last thing i want is to cause that sweet little baby any distress , i -- i think a clean break is best . unless you disagree . nikolas : um -- emily -- emily : yeah ? nikolas : what do you think ? emily : i think colleen has a point , you know ? spencer will probably pick up on how she 's feeling . nikolas : i know , but the holidays are coming and all , and -- emily : yeah , you know what ? i 'm here . between me , you , and alfred , we 'll definitely manage . nikolas : ok , ok . in that case , leave whenever you like , i suppose . colleen : i 'll pack my things . thank you both for being so understanding . nikolas : i -- i still say the timing could have been better . emily : look , nikolas , if colleen 's mood could affect spencer , then it really is for the best . do n't worry . i will happily give you and alfred all the help you need . [ scene_break ] robin : i ca n't believe you agree with patrick . sonny : you do n't think patrick has insight into what drives you ? robin : yeah , about most things , but not about this . see , doctors have a very unfortunate habit of having to label everything . thank you . sonny : yes . robin : like it 's a disease , right ? so i do n't understand why i would have survivor 's guilt when i know perfectly well that stone died because his illness progressed to aids before the drug cocktails were available to him . sonny : but see , you 're talking about what you know in your head . a lot of times , it has nothing to do with what 's going on in your heart . you had a life . you have a life . you have a career . stone did n't . robin : but i do n't feel guilty about being a doctor . sonny : how about being in love with patrick ? [ scene_break ] patrick : once again , you seem to have forgotten the pecking order around here . epiphany : is that so ? patrick : yes , that 's so . epiphany : well , why do n't you remind me ? patrick : my pleasure . i 'm a surgeon ; you 're a nurse . epiphany : which means what ? i 'm supposed to bow down before your god - like presence ? patrick : which means you 're supposed to treat me with some modicum of respect . commenting on my personal life is completely inappropriate . epiphany : let me tell you a little something about on - campus relationships . folks start out floating on air . stealing time in supply closets . then things go south , and those same people start slamming around , barking orders , and running the staff off their feet . patrick : what 's your point ? epiphany : if you and dr. scorpio do n't want comments made about your romance , then do n't play it out in the middle of a hospital for everyone to see . that , surgeon drake , is inappropriate . patrick : in case you 've forgotten , mr. owens is in 712 . noah : i have n't seen epiphany ticked off like that in a while . what 'd you say to her ? patrick : do n't start with me right now . noah : well , let me guess . it has something to do with robin . [ scene_break ] georgie : forget something ? dillon : yeah . to listen . i just got mad and defensive and stormed out . i 've been doing that lot lately . georgie : yeah . yeah , you have . dillon : i 'm sorry . georgie : dillon , it 's -- nope . you know , i was going to say that it 's ok . but it 's not . what i meant is that i want it to be ok . and what i meant is that i want you to be ok . even if it 's not necessarily with me , although i would really , really , really like to go through a week without having a misunderstanding . dillon : yeah . sorry about that . georgie : yeah , me , too . you know , it takes two people to be in a relationship and to argue , even if only one is 10 % responsible and the other is only 90 - - dillon : 90 % negligent . georgie : well , i was going to say 90 % wrong , but negligent -- that 's more -- i miss that . we used to finish each other 's sentences . dillon : me , too . georgie : maybe it does n't happen as much because we do n't spend as much time together . you 're always busy ; i 'm doing something . dillon : yeah , i know . and it should n't be that way . it really should n't . georgie : but it is . dillon : well , it does n't have to be tonight . i mean , we could -- we could do something . georgie : work . dillon : ok . so -- so i help you . i 'll bus tables ; i 'll mop the floors . i 'll even give you my review of `` high in demand . `` georgie : you saw it ? dillon : well , i figured the film predates my switch from film to business , so i allowed it for myself . georgie : so , ok . so now you have to `` allow `` yourself to see movies ? dillon : miss , do you want to hear my review or not ? georgie : yes . dillon : good . [ scene_break ] jason : you always so defensive ? lulu : probably . more so since the abortion , i guess . ahem -- i told my mom about it , finally . after putting it off forever . jason : were you afraid she 'd be mad ? lulu : hmm . yeah , i was afraid she would hate me , that she would be so disappointed that she would n't look at me the same way again . but i was wrong . my mom was wonderful . she could n't have been more supportive . and it felt like this huge weight had been lifted off me , until she went back into herself again . and then , now i have all these questions and doubts , like what if i had just kept my mouth shut ? what if the pressure of finding out about the abortion and having to comfort me made her lose her grip on reality that much sooner ? and then the biggest question of all -- huh -- what if i had done things differently ? like never having slept with dillon in the first place . jason : you can drive yourself crazy with `` what ifs . `` it 's not going to change what happened . lulu : you sound really sure . do n't you ever have any doubts or regret anything that you 've done ? jason : all the time . lulu : what have you done that you 're sorry for ? i mean , really sorry for . not just inconvenienced . not that you 're sorry that spinelli got away or that you 're stuck here with me . i mean , what do you wish that you had done differently , or not done at all . jason : well , that 's the thing -- i do n't -- i do n't wish -- i never saw the point of making things up , then being sad when they did n't happen . lulu : ok , well , that says something fairly interesting about you , but it still does n't answer my question . jason : i want sam to be exonerated . lulu : i 'm not asking about sam ; i 'm asking about you . i mean , you should hear the way the quartermaines talk about you -- mr . confident . if you screw up , it just rolls right off your back . jason : is that what you think ? lulu : well , i -- i would n't know . i 'm just telling you what i 've heard . but if i were to guess , i would say that if anything goes wrong in your world , you 'd probably improvise plan b . and you 've never crashed and burned , so you do n't know how it feels and that 's why you ca n't empathize with me . jason : i do n't know about -- about empathy , but i broke up with sam because i was afraid . lulu : of what ? jason : of watching her die because she loved me . so i walked away . everything that 's happened since has been a direct result of my decision to leave her . so yeah , i understand -- i understand regret . lulu : so how do you get past it and move on ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i -- i know what it feels like to blame yourself for living when someone you love dies . on the one hand , it drives you . you want to be worthy of that person , so you set goals , you strive to achieve them . on the other hand , you feel like you -- like you dodged a bullet , got away with something , you know ? you start feeling like you do n't deserve your own life . so , you start sabotaging the things you worked so hard to achieve . robin : i would never do that . i would never waste the life that i 've been given . sonny : well , after stone died , you were carrying a heavy burden . right ? i mean , it 's -- look , it 's not up to you to live your life as a memorial to stone . i mean , he would n't want that and he would n't want you to beat yourself up because you 're falling in love again . robin : oh . what makes you think that i love patrick ? sonny : oh , i do n't know -- maybe you 've mentioned it once or twice , or -- robin : well , maybe i was wrong . maybe i was just caught up in the moment and i did n't really -- sonny : and there 's always the way you look at patrick . right ? you brighten up when people mention his name . and you -- you defend him , and you praise him . robin : sorry i asked . sonny : but you did , and i 'm not done yet . i -- i know you 're in love with patrick , you know why ? because you 're struggling with this . and you 're feeling guilty when you never did before . 11 years now . can you imagine ? stone 's been dead 11 years , and you 're still hanging on to this . you 're starting to let go , right ? and it terrifies you . [ scene_break ] noah : you know , i -- i know i 'm not your first choice as a confidant , but if you got something on your chest , i 'm here and i actually do care about you , patrick . patrick : you know about stone cates ? noah : yeah . robin 's first love , right ? he died from aids ? patrick : yeah . how am i supposed to compete with that ? i mean , you know , there 's a reason why juliet killed herself . she could live till she was 105 . no man will ever compare to the love she had and lost when she was 14 . and that 's -- that 's robin . stone is permanently enshrined in her memory . perfect and tragic . the minute that memory is threatened , the minute she feels anything real or lasting with me , she freaks out like she 's being unfaithful to the guy . i mean , no disrespect , but he 's been dead for 10 years . noah : maybe you should , you know , see it from her perspective . i mean , she fell in love with this guy , stone , right ? and what happened ? he died . now she 's falling in love again . why do n't you connect the dots ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : it 's just that colleen is spencer 's primary caregiver . and he knows her touch and voice better than anyone 's , do n't you ? emily : except yours . nikolas : i just -- i hope that her sudden disappearance does n't upset him too much . emily : well , of course spencer 's going miss colleen but , i mean , the constants in his life will remain -- you , lucky , lulu , alfred , his routines . nikolas : you . emily : definitely me . you 're going to be just fine , are n't you , sweetheart ? nikolas : yeah . emily : huh ? nikolas : you 're right , you 're right . i 'm glad it worked out this way , because i really did n't have the heart to let her go just before christmas . but i also -- i was n't comfortable with having her stick around after just giving her her notice , because you know how people -- they get careless and weird and -- emily : yeah . nikolas : this is the best solution for everyone , is n't it ? [ emily chuckles ] [ scene_break ] colleen : how 's it going ? oh , do n't worry . you wo n't have to endure captivity much longer . i 'll bet you 're hungry . you know , i almost brought you a last meal , but i decided it was kinder to let things be . from what i 've read , death by dehydration is painful enough . why draw it out ? you 'll be interested to know that i resigned tonight . yeah . effective immediately . i 'll be long gone by the time you draw your last breath . fitting , do n't you think ? the wicked witch ends up a forgotten corpse in a deserted parapet tower . the only thing missing are flying monkeys . oh , you look upset ! well , i ca n't say i blame you . it must be galling to realize how completely you underestimated me . if it makes you feel any better , you 're not the only one . emily , alfred , even nikolas -- none of them gave me the credit or respect i deserve . but that 's ok . they do n't matter anymore . only spencer does . and i 'll always be grateful to you for bringing him to me . i really do adore that child . helena : hmm -- colleen : bye . [ scene_break ] noah : nobody knows better than you how i fell apart completely when your mother died . and even now , it still feels like my loss . though , for the record , i know you lost her , too . patrick : well , let 's not worry about that right now . noah : maybe it was because she died on my table under my hands . i 'll never know for sure . i -- i just would have spiraled out , i think , anyway . just she was that central to my life . anyway , the point is that -- that even now , years later , thinking about feeling that and risking that devastating loss again -- it just -- it just stops me in my tracks . and robin is actively in a relationship with you feeling love again . and she 's taking risks . patrick : so it 's the potential of loss that 's got her all freaked out . noah : yeah , sometimes fear can be pretty debilitating . and it 's often easier just to blow off the thing that 's causing the fear .

[ jax chuckles ] jax : yeah , that 's what i told kate . carly : you did n't let her fire them , did you ? jax : no , i did n't . carly : good , because i think the party was a huge success . jax : oh , yeah . carly : i did n't throw champagne on her . i did n't trip her when she walked out of the elevator . however , i will never forget the look on her face when she saw me wearing this dress . you have to admit it . it was funny and quite brilliant .

spencer : wherever the wind takes me -- hopefully in the direction of your place with brad . i wo n't be any trouble . i promise . i 'll be the opposite . we 'll have slumber parties , eat ice cream . brad can teach me all about `` the golden girls . `` britt : spencer ... i do n't live with brad anymore . i do n't live anywhere . spencer : oh . then i guess i 'll join the merchant marine -- see the world . helena : over my dead body . elizabeth : shockingly , obrecht had him discharged , even though he could barely walk , so what was i supposed to do ? he has no friends , no family , no access to money . nikolas : so , naturally , he was invited into your home . elizabeth : nikolas , he does n't even know his name ! nikolas : which means you do n't know who he is , either . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i trust him . nikolas : based on what ? elizabeth : my gut ... not that i expect you to understand . nikolas : oh , i understand perfectly . you have a huge bleeding heart . it 's one of the reasons why i love you . but it gets you into trouble right and left . elizabeth : not this time . nikolas : did it ever occur to you that this stranger of yours might be a homicidal maniac ?

let 's start with that . jason : keys -- now ! patrick : believe me , carly -- i 'm not happy with robin in this moment , but she did everything she could , everything in her power , to save jason . carly : she -- she told me that if i knew what she was doing , that i would throw a parade for her . patrick : yeah . carly : it 's the least of it . i mean , i would worship her till the day i died just to -- to have him back . what i would give to see jason 's face again . jason : keys ! i have n't got all day ! sam : do n't give him what he wants ! dante : all right . everyone just calm down ! sam : but we ca n't risk losing faison ! nathan : i think i have a shot . anna : hold your fire . sam : come on . do n't give in to him , please . please ! nathan : i can take him down . just say the word . lulu : is n't your hearing for visitation of georgie coming up ?

jake is down on his luck . i 'm helping him out , and you are not gon na make me feel bad about that . nikolas : that 's not my intention at all . elizabeth : really ? really ? you 're one to talk . nikolas : meaning ? elizabeth : meaning at least jake is an unknown quantity . you put your faith back in britt when you knew she was trouble . nikolas : and look how that turned out . and why are we talking about britt again ? elizabeth : i do n't get it . how could you let yourself be taken in a second time by britt ? nikolas : [ sighs ] britt : better tread lightly , buddy . this is your very powerful -- spencer : do n't worry . i got this . pardonnez - moi , but i did n't ask for your opinion , so butteth outeth . helena : such language ! spencer : français ? french ? americans . helena : oh , i know what you said , and i wo n't have it from your mouth . has your father taught you nothing about how to speak to your relatives ? spencer : who 's this broad ? britt : oh , boy . dr. obrecht : helena cassadine , your great - grandmother . spencer : father said i 'd know you by the snakes in your hair . helena : they only come out ... for naughty little boys who do n't mind their manners . now , tell me -- are you one of those ? spencer : no . helena : no , what ? spencer : no , great - grandmother , ma'am . helena : needs work . now ... let 's just forget that notion about leaving town . i wo n't have you tramping off on a steamer like some wretched townie seeking his fortune . spencer : i 'm with you on the `` townie `` thing . helena : good . now stand up straight . and you stop pouting . you are heir to my family . where 's ' your tie ? spencer : i left it at home . helena : which is where you will retrieve it and where you will stay . spencer : but , honored matriarch , i ca n't do that . helena : oh , but you can , and you will . you have no choice in these matters . britt : she 's right , buddy . you have to go back to wyndemere . spencer : why ? ! britt : because your dad needs you and you need your dad . and family belongs together . maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : exhausted ? maxie : beyond . you know , i 've been here all day working on this statement . it 's fully on me to prove i 'm a decent person fit to be a parent . lulu : well , you 're all of those things and then some . maxie : you really think so ? lulu : i know so . maxie : i 'm loving your positivity , but maybe you could throw in a prayer or two for you . lulu : i will cross all of my fingers and my toes . just my fingers . maxie : [ chuckles ] lulu : i 'm gon na do that for you and georgie but also for nathan . according to dante , he 's really been suffering without you .

[ gunshots ] officer : armed and dangerous ! all available vehicles -- now ! patrick : you wish i would have told you , do n't you , when i found out ? carly : of course . i mean , i get why you did n't . robin 's safety was in jeopardy . and if victor would have found out , he would have stopped the whole project . jason would n't have had a chance at all , so -- patrick : i was n't thinking about jason , carly . carly : you did what you had to do . patrick : it was n't my call to make . carly : that 's what sam said , huh ? you were trying to spare her more hurt , right ? then you did n't want to lift up her spirits so then you can just snatch it away . patrick : and maybe she was right . it 's not my place to dictate her life . carly : you were being a friend ... maybe more . patrick : i do n't think she 'd agree with you right now . carly : does she make you happy ? patrick : i think the bigger question is , `` do i make her happy ? `` and i do n't know . maybe she 's better off with a guy like silas . carly : no . no . i mean , i do n't know the guy from adam . but i know you . and you know what jason was to sam . you know what he was to her life , and , patrick , that 's huge . and she knows what robin was to you , so ... patrick : i think jason would be rolling over in his grave if he heard you say that right now . carly : no , he would n't . he would n't , because if -- if sam 's good for you and you 're good for sam , that 's all that jason would want . patrick : i have no idea what i 'm supposed to do right now . carly : do n't give up . patrick : like the way you 're not gon na give up on sonny ? con : we interrupting ? sonny : keep walking . gino : or what ? sonny : you 're gon na find out who i am . you do anything to me , you 're gon na regret it . trust me on that . con : oh , we know all about big , bad sonny corinthos . sonny : [ exhales sharply ] con : the boss wanted us to give you an extra - special welcome . sonny : yeah ? who 's the boss ? johnny : [ clears throat ] that 'd be me . britt : come on , kiddo . you got to make up with your dad . spencer : no , i do n't . britt : hey ... he 's the only dad you 've got . and i 'm leaving port charles . spencer : you 're going away ? ! how many time zones ? britt : too many . spencer : do n't i mean anything to you ? ! britt : ohh . spencer ... more than you 'll ever , ever know . your father and i may not have worked out , but he came into my life for a reason -- so i could meet you . spencer : i love you , britt . britt : ohh . i love you , too . spencer : then why do you have to go ? britt : [ crying ] you know how sometimes you have to do things you do n't want to do ? spencer : like study latin ? britt : [ chuckles ] yeah . this is like that . spencer : what am i supposed to do without you ? britt : oh , please . you 're spencer cassadine . you 'll think of something . [ sniffles ] i 'm gon na miss you . you and your excellent taste in jewelry . i found it while i was packing , and i remembered that you helped pick it out . spencer : my father wanted a pear cut . what a dope . britt : a good dope and a good dad . take it . spencer : but it 's yours . britt : no , no , no . not anymore . give it to some lucky girl someday , okay ? and be happy . spencer : you promise you 'll come back ? britt : i promise . lulu : ohh . do n't lose hope . judge walters has a heart in there ... somewhere . i 'm sure of it . everything 's gon na work out just fine . anna : all right . just let me keep pressure on this . where are we with the ambulance ? officer : officer down . anna : how 's sam ? ! officer : male , mid-20s . he 's losing a lot of blood . dante : sam , sam , you okay ? sam : [ groans ] dante : okay . come on . sam : aaah ! nathan : i 'm okay . i 'm okay . anna : no . shut up . just shut up . nathan : oof . yes , ma'am . anna : do n't `` ma'am `` me . i 'm telling you , if i did n't tell you that the day i hired you , i 'm telling you now , okay ? you all right , sam ? sam : yeah . yeah . i 'm shaken up a little bit , but i 'm okay . anna : okay . can you put pressure on this for you ? sam : yeah . i got to warn you , i 'm not the best nurse ever . i hope you do n't bleed out . nathan : yeah , me , too .

[ glass thuds ] lulu : i am angry with dante . because he utterly and completely betrayed me by crawling into bed with my cousin , all because i went away . all because i told a lie . it was a minor thing , and he trashed us over it . maxie : yeah , and if you were in high school , you could just break up with him and walk away , but you 're an adult and a mother . and i do n't think it 's good for rocco to see you so upset with his father . lulu : that is why i am focusing on valerie . maxie : hating on valerie -- that 's not gon na fix anything , lulu , and i 'm not saying that she does n't deserve it , because she totally does , but valerie does n't matter . you and dante -- you guys need to fix this . lulu : like adults ? maxie : exactly . lulu : [ scoffs ] maxie : i got to go meet nathan for dinner . is it safe for me to leave these here , or should i take them with me ? lulu : you can leave them . i 'm not gon na do anything to valerie tonight .

[ scene_break ] hayden : are n't most dreams just metaphors ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] okay . what would me trying to kill you symbolize ? hayden : well , since it 's my dream , let 's assume it 's about me and not about you . maybe it 's about how you 're getting past my defenses , how you 're killing my resistance , and how terrified i am that if i let you in , you 'll destroy me . nikolas : then if that 's the case ... i think we 're both in trouble .

[ sighs deeply ] dillon : it must have been hard on you , running into the man who terrorized her . monica : it 's odd , really . i mean , you think when someone is sentenced for a crime , they 're off the streets . they ca n't hurt anybody else . you never think about them being paroled , eventually , and free . dillon : speaking of emily , why is hayden barnes staying in her old room ? finn : tracy ! tracy , why have n't you answered any of my texts ? i ca n't find hayden . have you seen her ?

[ scene_break ] nathan : lulu say anything else about charlotte being her kid ? dante : nope , not a word . but i can tell it 's still on her mind . she got up early this morning . said she and maxie were , uh , going to spend the day doing wedding stuff . nathan : yeah , yeah , they 're going to manhattan to get lulu 's maid - of - honor dress . dante : yeah , i think that 's a possibility . nathan : what ? you think that 's why they 're going to the city ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you sure that this is the place ? lulu : yeah , griffin said that this was the ob - gyn on charlotte 's birth certificate -- dr. charles bellamy . charlotte was born in new york . this has to be the place . maxie : i , uh , had no idea it was so low - rent . [ chuckles ] lulu : it makes sense , i guess . this was before valentin had access to all of the cassadine money , and in vitro 's expensive . so maybe this was all he could afford . maxie : ugh . i just ca n't believe claudette yanked nathan and griffin around about both of them being charlotte 's father , and she was n't even the biological mom . she was the surrogate . lulu : if my theory was correct . maxie : [ gasps ] look , look , look , look . they ... they - they still use hard files , so we do not need spinelli to hack anything . lulu : one of those files could tell me if i 'm charlotte 's mom . thank you so much for helping me . and thank you for not talking about our plan with nathan . if you told nathan , nathan would tell dante , and i just do n't want him thinking that i 've become obsessed with this . i know it 's a pretty farfetched idea . maxie : the only way you 're going to find peace is if you know for sure . and you know , while we 're in manhattan , we might as well get your maid - of - honor dress . woman : uh , may i help you ? maxie : uh , hi ! uh , i 'm kayla mchenry . i made an appointment yesterday . ooh ! and i filled out all the online forms , just like i was supposed to . this is my best friend . lulu : i ... wanted to be the first to hear the good news confirmed . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu told me yesterday that she thought it could be true . that somehow her embryo could have survived and that claudette was only the surrogate , not charlotte 's mother . nathan : well , i guess that explains how claudette was able to walk away from charlotte so easily . dante : look , lulu told me she was going to let it go and focus on being a good maid of honor . but it just seemed too easy for me , and i do n't think she 's going to let it go . so i want to do some investigating before i get her hopes up . nathan : where do we start ? dante : okay , well , before you got here , i talked to the canadian authorities to see if they had any leads on claudette . they had n't . so sign of her . passport has n't been used . her credit cards have n't been used . they said if they do n't see any signs of life for the next few weeks , they will officially declare claudette dead .

[ scene_break ] franco : you think i want to kill tom baker ? look , i would n't do that . i mean , for one thing , it would mean i 'd go to prison , and i would n't see you . and i know that when you hear me talk like this , that you do kind of think that i 'm a monster . elizabeth : you were strangling him . and if griffin and the orderly had n't pulled you off , would you have stopped ? what was i supposed to think ? franco : i -- i do n't know . i 'm sorry . it wo n't happen again . elizabeth : how do i know that ? franco : i 've had some time . like , a lot of time , 'cause i 've been suspended . and i 've been working out a lot of aggravation in the studio . and i 'm calm -- i 'm calmer . i ... can not stop thinking about you . i really care about you . elizabeth : when you 're violent like that , it scares me . franco : i know . i promise you that , uh , i wo n't do it again . elizabeth : i really want to believe you . franco : you got to make me a promise , okay ? you got to promise me that you will use this pepper spray and this whistle and this flashlight when -- if tom baker ever comes after you again . elizabeth : i promise . but like i 've already told you , i am not going to let the fear of knowing tom 's free get in the way of how i live my life . franco : i know . and i really respect that . see you later . elizabeth : [ sighs ] okay , boys , come on . let 's go . i got to get you to gram 's so i can get to work . hayden ? are you okay ? [ scene_break ] nina : um , i 'm being cautious . because in my experience , if something seems too good to be true , it usually is . valentin : am i too good to be true ? i think i 'm flattered because most people in town seem to think i 'm a bad guy . nina : they have their opinion . i have mine . valentin : what exactly is your opinion of me ? i 'm a little unclear . nina : so am i . uh , so am i. i mean , um , obviously i like you . and that 's obvious . i like being with you . but i do n't think you 're 100 % honest with me . i think you have a questionable past . i 'm not one to criticize , because my past is n't exactly spotless . valentin : well , neither one of us have had an easy path in life , but they 've led us to each other . and i might be getting ahead of myself , but i think we could really make a good go of this , have a real relationship . nina : i do n't know . i 'm not so sure .

[ scene_break ] maxie : you were wonderful . spinelli : i was ? maxie : yeah , well , you stood up to mac like you do it everyday . i 'm very proud of you . spinelli : well , i 'm overwhelmed by such praise , but the patriarch of law and order had some valid points . maxie : no , he did n't . spinelli : he 's just concerned about the safety of your lovely person , worried that some blow - back from my chosen life might land on you and i share those concerns . maxie : well , i do n't . i feel perfectly safe around you . spinelli : you are defiantly refusing to acknowledge certain facts . we are in a time of civil war . and anyone even peripherally associated with the gangster element is fair game . and that includes me and therefore , you . maxie : not seeing you is not an option for me . and as for the so - called danger , i 'll just have to live with the possibility and take reality as it comes . spinelli : has anyone braver ever walked this green earth ? maxie : i am not brave . i 'm selfish . and i would n't want to know the type of person i would be without you in my life . i meant what i said to mac . you really make me a better person , spinelli . and no one , no matter who it is or how much i love them , will dictate you out of my life . spinelli : i am flattered , and i have to say , somewhat taken aback by this passion . maxie : usually i 'm so busy and stressed by all the work responsibilities i have , so listen to me because i 'm only going to say this one time . you are an incredible man . you are funny and considerate and smart . and given the chance to have one hour with you or happily ever after with somebody else , i would take that one hour -- depending on who the happily ever after was attached to . but seeing as how there is no one in my life that 's like that right now , i mean , what i said was how i felt , so that 's the truth . right ? spinelli : right . but now your admirable stance has precipitated the necessity for an unexpected residence relocation . maxie : yeah , well , i was only staying with mac for that long because i think he still really misses georgie . but , i mean , i 'm a grown woman now and i have a career , and thanks to you , my best friend , a social life that does n't suck . so why should n't i have my own place ? spinelli : you sound sure . maxie : i am sure . spinelli : well , okay , but in the meantime , you 'll need a place to lay your lovely head . i hope you 'll consider stone cold 's house at your disposal . maxie : oh , no , no , no . i do n't think that is a good idea . that would be very bad timing . and jason 's got a lot of stuff going on . if i stay there , that would only distract him . besides , i do n't want to interrupt any more intimate moments between sam and jason . spinelli : intimate moments ? i 'm sure you do n't believe that stone cold and fair samantha -- maxie : please , all that danger and drama and two adrenaline junkies like sam and jason ? i bet after they rescued baby jake , they went back to the penthouse and were banging like bunnies . [ scene_break ] sam : jason is being modest . actually , he is the one who figured out how to get jake out of the roadhouse . i just -- i was there to assist . elizabeth : all that matters is that my son is home . and if jason says you 're responsible , then i am forever indebted to you . sam : really ? because you do n't owe me anything . elizabeth : i 'm going to go inside to be with my boys , but i 'll send lucky out because i 'm sure he 'll want to thank you himself . sam : you okay ? lucky : sam , thank god you 're safe . [ scene_break ] maxie : i figured you would call for reinforcements , but it 's not going to work because i 'm moving out and there 's nothing either of you can do to change my mind . mac : how about this ? i was wrong to give you an ultimatum . you 're an adult , okay ? you 're entitled to choose your own friends . it wo n't be easy . i 'll try to keep my opinions to myself . agree to disagree ? you do n't have to leave . maxie : mac , i love you and i really do understand why you were concerned , but this is n't about spinelli anymore . i mean , it 's more about me . i think it 's time that i stand on my own . [ scene_break ] jax : i do n't believe in games , carly . i do n't believe in sleeping with one woman to pay another one back for infidelity . carly : so you 're going to stand there and tell me you have feelings for kate ? jax : no . you 're missing the point . sleeping with kate was about me , not you . it was about going back to the life that i 'm familiar with , an adult relationship without the risk of emotional devastation . carly : so i 'm just a walking , breathing emotional devastation ? jax : no , no . you 're not someone that i can have a life with , carly . carly : i do n't believe that . i do n't believe that . we can make this work , jax . jax : yeah , until the next time or the time after that when you go back to sonny . carly : oh , jax . jax : no , i just -- i know that i 'm to blame in this relationship . carly : i do n't care about blame . i 'm so sick of blame . i 'm so sick of who did what wrong or who 's responsible . i 'm sick of guilt and regret . those are not the things that i wanted our life to be about . jax : i could n't agree more . [ scene_break ] lucky : so does somebody want to fill me in ? jason : yeah , i will . we found jake in an abandoned roadhouse . there were a lot more russians than i anticipated , so we decided to go with a diversion -- sam , a karpov employee looking for more work . once the men were distracted , i 'd come in firing . lucky : that 's pretty risky . jason : yeah , and it almost went wrong . i made a lot of mistakes , but sam was able to grab jake . lucky : did anyone ever think to call the police ? sam : yes , of course . we thought about calling the police , but that came with its own risks . jason thought it was best that jake was n't in the middle of a standoff , so we went through what we thought was best . lucky : jason is not bound by inconvenient things or what 's against the law . he just comes in , guns blazing . sam : jake 's home and he 's safe , right ? lucky : yes , yes , okay ? you know what ? and i 'm very grateful to you both . listen , i need to get back in to my family , so if you can make sure that sam gets home , i would really appreciate it . i 'll call you later , okay ? sam : yeah , sure . go . be with your family .

[ scene_break ] jax : what is the definition of insanity ? carly : two people who love each other and who happen to be married , and instead of finding reasons to stay together , they dream up reasons to get divorced . jax : no , i did n't dream up you and sonny . i married you knowing that he would always be a part of your life . i just thought that his hold on you would weaken and mine would get stronger until one day he no longer mattered , but that day never came , and i have to accept that and move on . carly : even though you love me ? and you know that i love you and i always will love you , jax . jax : even though . i ca n't stay in this marriage . i ca n't keep doing the same thing over and over , hoping for a different outcome . you know , you 're right , it 's -- carly : no . jax : it 's time i took this off . [ scene_break ] patrick : it 's not up to me to offer an opinion on how you deal with olivia 's family . sonny : no , i know that , but it 's more about dealing with olivia . i mean , i do n't know if you know , but we go way back . she 's always been the same mouthy , tough , master of her own universe , right or wrong . but she 's like a cat . no matter how much pain she 's in , she 's not going to admit to it . one time she fell , right , on her ass , broke her elbow . did n't go to the hospital . went to work , father did n't even know , in enormous amount of pain . patrick : unreasonably stubborn . i can identify that trait . sonny : what i 'm trying to say is , you know , if she 's in more pain than she 's letting on , do i have to notify her son ? maybe she needs to be with her son . maybe he needs to be with her . so are you telling me , professional opinion , she 's fine ? patrick : olivia 's fine . there 's no medical pressing matter to alarm her family , but she was obviously a victim tonight , and now , maybe her son deserves to know that . ultimately , it 's olivia 's decision . sonny : yeah , you 're right . thank you . patrick : yeah . sonny : patrick ? give my love to robin . claudia : oh , yes , please do . let her know that we 're married now , and we 're accepting well wishes . [ scene_break ] mac : you 're a big help . you did n't even say a word . robin : you know , it 's not my place . maxie decided that she wants to live on her own , and she 's entitled . mac : even if she finds trouble out there ? robin : even then . besides , maxie can find trouble if she lives here . mac : whose side are you on ? robin : you two will figure it out . maxie : i assume my ears should be burning . robin : um , no . maxie : well , are you going to try and talk some sense into me , too ? because you might as well just hurry up . robin : no . i got nothing to say . mac : listen , you know , you do n't have to leave in the middle of the night . maxie : no time like the present , right ? grab the bull by the horns and all that . i 'll come back for the rest of my stuff when i figure out where i 'm going . mac : you do n't even know where you 're going . maxie : sure i do . do you have the number for a cab company ? mac : maxie , take the car . maxie : you said i could n't take the car . mac : i 'm giving it back , okay ? just -- you can either argue or say `` thank you . `` maxie : thank you , mac . mac : there 's nothing i can do to change your mind ? maxie : no , but do n't take it personal or feel guilty about suggesting it . i think this is a good thing . i mean , you 'll finally have your house to yourself . and even though matt hunter did n't turn out to be nearly as annoying as i thought he would , i think it 's a good thing he got his own apartment and moved out . so , you 'll be able to have your own house to yourself . i mean , has that ever even happened ? mac : i 'm not sure i know how to live alone . maxie : well , maybe it 's your time , too , to find out . mac , i love you . and not to get mushy or anything , but i 'm really grateful that i can call you my dad . i mean , you took us in -- me and robin and georgie . and i think i can speak for all of us when i say we had some pretty screwy families , but you gave us the ground under our feet and a foundation to work from and a place to call home . that means a lot to me . robin : me , too . mac : listen , despite what i might think or what anyone else might say , you go out there , all right ? claim your life and ride it for all it 's worth . have that fashion career you so desperately want and have spinelli if you must . but you go out there maxie , okay ? just be the best you can be , and i know you will . you 'll dazzle the world . maxie : now you 're going to make me cry . so i 'm going to go before that happens , and i 'll let you know where i stay , okay ? bye . robin : bye . mac : oh , boy . i have no idea how quiet this house is going to be . robin : i know it 's hard , but it 's for the best . mac : emma 's just a baby . i ca n't wait to hear the song you 're going to be singing when she 's walking out the front door , hitching her wagon to some junior mobster .

robin : you do n't have to say anything . patrick : the last person to see lisa alive was the killer . that 's not robin . ronnie : you sure about that , dr. drake ? patrick : yeah , i 'm sure about that , detective . my wife 's innocent . ronnie : well , dr. niles tried to kill your wife many times , right ? i mean , robin just admitted right now to fighting with her the night of the murder . spinelli : [ thinking ] dr. robin -- unlikely . she 's a mother and a gentle soul if ever there was one . still , when one 's under attack ... love and remorse in equal measure could drive a man to a desperate act . anthony : sounds like you 've got your man . are we done here ? mac : you know what ? we checked with the coma facility . you had power of attorney over lisa . anthony : she was alone in that hospital . i 'm a humanitarian . mac : you authorized the treatment that brought her out of the coma . anthony : so , why would i give her a tune - up with a wrench ?

john , you had a relationship with lisa , yeah ? johnny : yeah , it would n't be the first relationship i 've had . dante : so , maybe you helped her get on that boat that night . johnny : i do n't know what you 're talking about . dante : or maybe you knew what she was gon na do and you tried to stop her . spinelli : [ thinking ] unable to save lisa , he was forced to stop her . the ways of mayhem are well known to johnny . would he be this careless ?

steve 's past does n't concern me . ronnie : well , i 've seen jealousy make people act out in ways they did n't think was possible . spinelli : [ thinking ] could such a great hatred fit in so small a package ? dante : dr. hunter . matt : detective . dante : where have you been ? have n't seen you around lately ? matt : oh , did you miss me , buddy ? dante : yeah . matt : feeling 's not mutual . dante : okay . i heard that you were under the influence that night . matt : drunk as a skunk . dante : and pretty angry , like you wanted to hurt somebody ? maybe you thought lisa niles would be a decent target . spinelli : [ thinking ] dare i hope to eliminate a rival for her hand ? maxie : no , matt 's not a mean or violent drunk . ronnie : well , there 's a ringing endorsement . what about you , princess ?

' `` judge chua : mr. quartermaine ? aj : you see , your honor , when that article came out , i lost control of elq . and that 's -- that 's when everything started to spiral out of control . and suddenly , i was this huge loser again . and i blamed connie for it . i - i went to a bar , and i drank a lot . i just -- i tried to make the pain go away . and the pain , it turned into rage at connie . and i - i just kept -- i kept drinking until i could n't feel anything anymore , and i blacked out , and that was that . judge chua : so , you remember nothing about the murder itself ? aj : i 'm sorry , your honor . i -- [ sighs ] all i remember is how much i hated connie and thinking that if i could get rid of her , i could make the pain go away . i do vaguely recall taking my aunt 's gun from our safe . i have no recollection of going to the metro court . and i - i can -- i can vaguely remember entering connie 's office . but i swear i do n't remember pulling the trigger . i do n't remember killing her . i know that my fingerprints are on the murder weapon , but -- but all that means is that i held the gun at some point , which i 've already admitted . it does n't mean that i pulled the trigger . could n't somebody else have done it ? i mean , is n't that possible ? i - i think so . i hope so . michael : so do it . aj : look , i may never know the answer . all i can do is pray . i mean , i pray that i 'm not the kind of man that could murder a defenseless woman . here 's the god 's honest truth . i - i do n't know . i just do n't know . your honor , that 's all i 've got . judge chua : mr. baldwin , do you want to cross - examine ? scott : oh , your honor , indeed i do . heather : my son . my son ! my son . [ crying ] look what you did to your own -- own mother . but it 's okay . [ sniffles ] i forgive you . i will always love you . [ groans ] [ sighs ] sonny : is this a bad time ? carlos : what do you guys want ? shawn : you 're coming with us . sonny : you 're gon na go for a little ride . patrick : thank you , but i 'm fine . epiphany : drake jr. , who do you think you 're talking to ? i was there at that church yesterday . you could have knocked me over with a feather when dr. scorpio - drake showed up . patrick : pretty unbelievable , right ? epiphany : right . and i also saw when you planted that kiss on her in front of god and everybody . it 's obvious that you two love each other . patrick : yeah . it is . epiphany : too bad for , uh , nurse santiago , though . patrick : epiphany , i do n't want to talk about this . epiphany : i saw her when she ran out of that church like she was on fire . and i also saw you do the right thing when you went after her . and i also saw when you came back . but what i did n't see was who you went home with . was it robin or sabrina ? patrick : neither . i did n't go home with either one of them . i spent the night alone . robin : from what emma told me , you did everything you could to keep my memory alive for her . sabrina : yeah , of course . of course , i did . robin : and you brought back the nurses ' ball . [ chuckles ] i - i have that to thank you for , as well . sabrina : oh , i was -- i was so happy to do that . robin : okay , i do n't know how to say this , so i 'm just gon na say it . sabrina : please . robin : i do n't think that you tried to replace me in patrick 's life . i - i think that you found your own place in his heart , and ... he fell in love with you , obviously . he was ready to spend the rest of his life with you . sabrina : yeah , well , that was before you came back . i mean , everything 's different now . robin : i 'm not so sure about that . i do n't know if patrick told you , but yesterday at the church , uh , i told him to go after you . sabrina : you did ? [ chuckles ] why ? robin : i watched the wedding . i watched , um , a good deal of it , and it was obvious to me -- it kept hitting me over and over again how much he loves you and how much you love him . and i thought that you deserved an explanation right away , and patrick was so shocked by seeing me , he was just -- you know , he could n't move . sabrina : well , i 'm sure he thought that you would [ chuckles ] disappear again if he -- if he blinked . robin : something like that . that 's why i told him to go talk to you . sabrina : well , thank you for doing that . robin : of course . i know that he had to talk to you . it was the right thing to do , but what i did n't expect was what happened when he came back after he talked to you . sabrina : what did you expect ? robin : well , i expected to go home with him . [ chuckling ] i mean -- but that 's not what happened . sabrina : wait , so , you did n't go home with patrick and emma ? robin : no . patrick asked me to , but i said `` no `` because he told me that he did not break things off with you . sabrina , i know that i have no right to ask you this , but ... sabrina : what ? robin : i need you to help me get my husband back . scott : let me get this straight . you admit that you had hatred for the victim ? michael : just say `` yes , `` `` no , `` or `` i do n't know . `` scott : mr. quartermaine , do you admit that you had hatred for the victim ? aj : yes , i do . scott : and do you admit that , likewise , you thought that by getting rid of her , the pain would go away ? aj : yes . scott : and you admit that you deliberately retrieved the murder weapon from the safe in your house with the express intent of killing the victim ? aj : yes . scott : but you do n't remember killing the victim ? aj : no . not at all . scott : how convenient . no further questions . judge chua : mr. quartermaine , since you 're representing yourself , will you be calling any other witnesses in your own defense ? aj : no , your honor . judge chua : so , the defense rests ? aj : yes , your honor . the defense rests . judge chua : you may step down . we 're ready to hear closing arguments . mr. quartermaine , the defense goes first . aj : uh , your honor , would it be possible just to skip it ? i just -- i believe i 've said everything that i need to say . judge chua : you may . aj : thank you . judge chua : mr. baldwin , proceed . franco : mother ? mother ? can you hear me ? [ sighs ] i told you . i told you to stay away from carly . [ sighs ] oh . what have i done ? what have i done ? [ water stops ] franco : carly ca n't know . carly can never find out . she 'll think i 'm still a psycho . [ grunts ] [ grunts ] [ sighs ] spinelli : why would you want me to take the baby to portland ? how could -- how could you bear her being so far away ? maxie : what i ca n't bear is her being so close . she 's across town , and i ca n't see her . it -- it 's killing me . i ca n't keep myself away from her . i ca n't . spinelli : you can , and you will . maxie : no , spinelli . it 's -- it 's too hard . and eventually , you 're gon na let me see her . you 'll let me hold her for a minute or two , which will turn into five minutes . and then the next time , maybe 10 minutes until , what , we get caught ? and then i go to jail ? spinelli : maxie , you 're not gon na go to jail . i 'll do everything in my power to keep you from her , no matter how heartless i have to be . maxie : i think that we all know heartless is not in your playbook . and once i go to jail , they 'll take the baby away from you . and then she 'll wind up without either one of us . spinelli : no . that 's not gon na happen . maxie : you 're right . it 's not . because you and ellie are gon na go to portland . and you 're gon na take the baby with you . and i do n't have to deal with the constant temptation , the constant ache that is pulling my heart towards hers . spinelli : you 're asking me to separate you from your daughter by thousands of miles . maxie : you would be doing me a favor . we 'll all be better off , spinelli , especially our daughter . epiphany : i 'm sorry to say that , uh , i did n't think this was gon na be an easy decision for you . patrick : [ chuckles ] epiphany , if somebody would have told me that i would n't wrap my arms around robin and take her home with me and never let her go if i ever saw her again , i would say that they 're absolutely crazy . epiphany : [ chuckles ] patrick : i love robin . but sabrina and i -- we -- we built something , something special . epiphany : you have . patrick : and i love sabrina . and it does n't just go away . but i love robin , too . sabrina : what , exactly , are you asking me to do ? robin : patrick is confused . i mean , who can blame him ? he thought i was dead for the last two years . and i had also left him a dvd telling him that i wanted him to move on if anything were to happen to me . and -- and i am so glad that he found you . i really am . i - i appreciate that he had that time with you . but i 'm back now . i 'm his wife . he is my husband , and emma is my daughter . and i want them back . so , i 'm asking you to make that decision for patrick and , please , just -- just let him go . spinelli : you know , we appreciate that you 're willing to do this for us . ellie : yeah , it really is beyond generous . spinelli : but , you know , the court is revisiting the custody issue in six months . perhaps they 'll rule in your favor . maxie : there is no guarantee that the judge is gon na find me fit . and i know if the baby stays in port charles , i will screw up between now and then and completely blow it . spinelli : no . you wo n't . you 'll walk the straight and narrow because your status as a mother depends on it . maxie : spinelli , that is just like you to have too much faith in me . and it used to be that when i screwed up , only you and i got hurt . now we have our daughter to think about . she has to come first . spinelli : i mean , that 's proof , in and of itself , that you 're a good mother , maxie . maxie : that 's very sweet of you to say ... but i kind of -- i deserve this . i was supposed to be a surrogate for dante and lulu , not give myself a baby . i do n't deserve one . spinelli : so , you 're saying the judge is right ? maxie : i 'm saying that i lied to you about our child . ellie : hey , i lied , too . maxie : only because i manipulated you . ellie : no . maxie , i made the decision to keep your secret . maxie : ellie , i played on your insecurities about spinelli . i mean , you two almost lost each other because of me . and i 'm not gon na let that happen again . i will not be the reason that you turn down your dream job . and i wo n't be the reason that spinelli does n't go with you , where he belongs . spinelli : but what about our daughter ? could you really let her go ? maxie : i love her so much it hurts . i love her so much that i ca n't stand to be the reason she stays here and risks losing both of us . so please promise me that you will go . epiphany : i wish i knew what to tell you , drake jr . patrick : i finally found a place where i could tuck away my love for robin -- like , a safe place where i could still feel it , but i also accepted the fact that i was never gon na share that love with her again , and when i did that , there was , like , this new pure wave of love that came flooding in for sabrina , and , i mean , we 're standing at the altar . we 're exchanging rings , and then ... epiphany : your wife comes home . patrick : i do n't know what to do . and i know that 's wrong and it 's selfish and i 'm letting them both hang there , and so , i mean , what does that say ? epiphany : it says you 're human . sabrina : you 're asking me to let patrick go ? robin : i know it 's not fair . sabrina : well , that 's not -- that 's not the point . i mean , this -- this is n't my decision to make . it 's patrick 's . he said that he needed time . robin : oh , come on . we 're talking about patrick here . patrick does n't want to hurt anyone . he especially does n't want to hurt you . you helped him through his grief . you helped emma with everything . you respected him until he was , you know , ready to move on . just make it easy for him . you can help him . sabrina : how am i supposed to help him ? robin : by making the decision for him . tell him . tell him that he 's my husband and that he belongs with me and now that i 'm back , you wo n't come between him and his family . he needs to know that you 're okay with that . sabrina : this is just -- it 's a lot . it 's a lot to process , robin . [ sighs ] robin : i 'm his wife , sabrina . i gave him that push to go to you yesterday . i 'm asking for you to do the same . you say that you love patrick . sabrina : i do love him . robin : then do this for him . be the strong one and make things right for all of us . carlos : oh , seriously , guys ? a cemetery ? you could n't think of something more subtle , like a horse 's head in my bed ? shawn : shut up . carlos : seriously , what are we doing here ? sonny : what are we doing here ? julian jerome have a stunod working for him ? shawn : it looks like . sonny : you know exactly what we 're doing here . julian needs to know that he ca n't mess with me and get away with it . shawn : you see , we need to , you know , send a message . looks like you drew the short straw . sonny : we ca n't go after julian because danny morgan might need his bone marrow . shawn : no . we got to put the baby first , right ? sonny : and i promised kiki that i would n't hurt her mother . so that leaves you , rivera . carlos : do it . do it . shoot me . get it over with . shoot me . scott : excellent closing argument , aj . aj : you know what ? you go to hell , baldwin . scott : no , i mean it . you made my job a lot easier , as well as the jury 's . kiki : do n't listen to that jerk . aj : it does n't matter whether i listen to him or not . baldwin 's right , and so is diane . i - i torpedoed my case . kiki : no , you do n't know that . aj : yeah , i - i do . but , i mean , you know , i had to tell the jury in my own words . i 'm sorry , michael . michael : you have nothing to apologize for . i mean , you getting up there , saying what you did -- that took a lot of guts . i do n't care what scott or anyone else has to say . look , that was amazing . aj : i could n't have done it without -- without you and kiki being here . and , you know , it does n't matter if the jury finds me guilty , because i 'll be okay because i 've got you on my side . franco : what have you done , mother ? hmm ? i told you not to go after carly . i told you , mother or not , i 'd kill you . you would n't listen . why ? you made me do this . was it part of a bigger plan , huh ? you get me to kill you and then carly figures out that i 'm the same psycho that i 've always been ? is that it ? night , mother . [ cell phone ringing ] [ ringing stops ] diane : franco ? what are you doing ? spinelli : i have -- i have to go . mercedes said she could only watch the baby for a couple of hours . um , ellie , perhaps you could come with me so we can discuss this further ? ellie : yeah . that 's a good idea . you 've given us a lot to think about . spinelli : and , maxie , though we appreciate the magnanimity of your offer , i - i urge you to think through this . maxie : i 'm not gon na change my mind . spinelli : look , you say that now , but -- maxie : no . i - i can tell that this is the right decision . for the first time in a long time , i - i feel better , like i 'm actually not gon na screw things up for our baby . [ chuckles ] spinelli : thank you , maxie . ellie : no . `` thank you `` is n't even close to how we fell . maxie : okay , guys , stop . just , uh -- just go home . that baby needs you . aj : i guess i 'll see you when i see you . michael : well , we 'll be back for the verdict . kiki : no matter when that is . aj : that -- that may take days , guys . michael : well , we 'll be here . aj : okay . scott : wait a minute . michael : geez , what is wrong with you ? ! just leave us alone . scott : i ca n't help it . i just got a call . the jury 's back . they have a verdict . sonny : i knew you 'd understand that i have to protect the people that i love by sending your boss a message . carlos : then do it . sonny : i will . just not yet . shawn : get up . you see , if we did that , you know , we 'd -- we 'd get stuck with doing all the work . carlos : what the hell are you talking about ? what work ? sonny : start digging . sabrina : it 's funny . patrick and i are supposed to be on our honeymoon right now . robin : [ sighs ] sabrina : and instead , i 'm -- i 'm standing here with you , his not - so - late wife , and you 're asking me to break up with him ? robin : i know that i am asking a lot . thinking about my family is the only thing that got me through when i was gone . every day , i would think about coming home to patrick and emma . it 's the only thing that kept me alive . it 's the only thing that kept me sane . if i had thought for even one second that that was n't going to happen and that we would n't be together as a family , i would n't have made it . i 'm asking you , sabrina . please . let me and emma and patrick be a family again . patrick : you know , robin and sabrina -- they 're so different , but in a lot of ways , they 're so alike . and it kills me to think that i 'm gon na hurt one of them . epiphany : drake jr. , you 're in love with two different women through no fault of your own . of course , you 're confused . patrick : you know , you 're right . epiphany : of course , i 'm right . um , what am i right about ? patrick : that hug . i could use a hug . diane : please tell me you are working on an art installation involving a laundry cart . franco : i wish . uh , this -- this is my job . diane : this is your -- you 're working as a -- as a ... ? franco : as a housekeeper . i have a job . diane : as a maid ? franco : housekeeper . diane : okay . as a housekeeper ? franco : well , like an apprentice housekeeper . you know , the art show was a complete disaster , so i had to figure out a way to pay my way . diane : not to mention my bill . franco : right . diane : well , we would have pulled that art show off if your mother had n't cornered you into admitting you had n't painted any of those canvases . franco : yeah , well , she 's ... [ knocks ] quite a piece of work , that one . diane : well , heather 's locked up . she got what was coming to her . franco : hmm . diane : gosh , that 's a heavy load you got there . franco : i 'll say . diane : oh ! okay . well ...

[ sighs ] dante : we were on the same page for that . jordan : yeah , but it was too late . by the time i got here , there was already a boat speeding away . anna : i 'll call it in . jordan : [ sighs ] how did this even happen , detective ? i mean , who 's orchestrating faison 's escape ? jason : i ca n't tell you what i was doing while i was out . elizabeth : excuse me ? what happened to that whole `` i do n't have any secrets `` thing ? jason : well , see , i would n't want to upset you . that 's the thing . elizabeth : well , i 'm gon na be upset if you do n't tell me why you 're shaking with exhaustion . jason : okay , now , i 'm not shaking . shaking -- that 's a little farfetched . elizabeth : oh , my god . you know , there was only one other person in my life who was so ridiculous when it came to admitting that he was hurt or in pain or tired . jason : oh , so now i 'm ridiculous now , huh ? elizabeth : he would literally stand there shot and bleeding trying to convince me that he was fine . jason : oh , well , i 'll stop you right there . you do n't have to worry . i have n't been shot . elizabeth : [ laughs ] well , i hope not ! jason : the truth is i - i 'm -- i 'm a little exhausted , okay ? i might have pushed myself a little hard today . elizabeth : i knew it was too soon for you to be out looking for a job . i told you . jason : how else am i gon na pay the hospital bill ? elizabeth : well , do you want to end up back in the hospital because you pushed yourself to the point of collapse ? jason : do n't worry . that 's not gon na happen . okay , look , i 'm fine . i 'm gon na go -- elizabeth : jake , jake . jason : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] stop saying you 're fine . jason : i 'm fine . elizabeth : stop saying that . jason : i 'm fine . i promise . look , i 'm fine . see ? we 're -- we 're good . elizabeth : okay . all right . well , this little argument is getting us nowhere . why do n't you go upstairs and shower , and i 'll make you some food . jason : you do n't have to do that . elizabeth : yeah , i know , but this is what i do 'cause i 'm nice , all right ? jason : you are nice . okay . elizabeth : hey , you did n't tell me . where did you go job searching ? jason : uh ... where did i go ? i , um -- elizabeth : you know what ? um , go shower . i 'm gon na make some food . you can tell me later . ned : olivia . olivia : what ? ned : it 's just a movie . a movie that you 've seen many times before , i might add . olivia : yeah . yeah , it 's just -- it 's just with -- with the 3-d effects that they 've got nowadays , it just -- it seems like the creatures are , like , soaring out of the screen right at my face or something like that . i 'm so -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to -- to manhandle you or anything like that . [ music stops ] olivia : [ sighs ] ned : olivia . olivia : yeah ? ned : is there something on your mind ? olivia : [ sighs ] actually , ned , um ... there is something that i 've been -- that i 've been meaning to talk to about , and -- and i 'm just -- i just do n't really know how to say it . so -- so you got to bear with me here for a minute , okay ? ned : okay . well , what - whatever it is , you know you can tell me . olivia : okay , um ... here goes . do n't say i did n't warn you . okay , you know , we 've been spending a lot of time to -- alexis : oh ! i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to scare you . am i interrupting something ? ned : um ... olivia : [ sighs ] alexis : oh , guys , i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to barge in . i just , uh , wanted to talk to you about something , but if you 're in the middle of something , i can easily come back . ned : well , actually , um ... we were getting into something kind of important . olivia : no . no . no big deal . you 're not -- you 're not interrupting anything . uh , except , uh , the movie . it 's a -- it 's a groundbreaking film , actually , or maybe `` film `` is a little bit too fancy of a way to explain it . see , the whole idea was to make a film that was so compelling that , you know , the 3-d effects were as good as the plot so that when you 're watching it , you really feel like you 're immersed in the whole world of the thing , and every -- and ... everything ... you guys should really see it sometime . in 3-d . i 'm just gon na go . ned : no . do n't go . we have n't finished watching the movie . you 're gon na stay . olivia : okay , um ... okay . i - i will go make some more popcorn , and -- and let you guys talk . ned : all right . thanks . alexis : thank you . just be a ... [ sighs ] you -- you really did n't need to stop the movie on my account . ned : it 's fine . so , why are you here ? alexis : i wanted to apologize . sam : i am the reason why faison got away . lulu : you know that 's not true . sam : no , it is true . i begged anna not to cooperate . i mean , they were outnumbered . they could have taken a shot . they could have -- they could have shot the gunman . lulu : they could n't risk hitting you . sam : but -- but they did n't , and the gunman got a shot off , and it went right past anna , and it hit nathan . lulu : no . it was a lucky shot . sam : it was not a lucky shot . it was deliberate . the gunman asked them to give him the keys , and he said if they did n't , he would shoot somebody in the head . and there was no question about it . he would have done it . this was -- this was calculated . it was like clockwork . it was like this guy had done this a thousand times . lulu : was dante in the line of fire ? sam : everyone was in the line of fire . that 's why anna had to give him the keys , and -- and the gunman threw me into the wall , got into the van , drove away , and dante -- he came over to me and he got me up and that 's when i - i went over to nathan . i saw that he was bleeding . [ cell phone chimes ] lulu : [ sighs ] it 's maxie . she wants to know if i 've heard from nathan . sam : what 's wrong ? lulu : [ sighs ] maxie 's hearing is next week . she 's trying to get visitation with her daughter . sam : yeah , i , uh -- i know . spinelli told me about that . lulu : yeah , the judge forbade maxie from having any contact with nathan . if i tell her that he 's been shot , she 's gon na rush right over here . maybe i should hold off until we know something more concrete . sam : look , i think that 's maxie 's decision to make . i mean , if it were me , i would want to know if someone i cared about was in trouble . dr. obrecht : hang another unit of blood and irrigate the wound . i can not see what i am doing . dr. teschner : i can take over , chief . dr. obrecht : you will do no such thing . my son will not be treated by any hands but mine . nathan : maxie . maxie : you got into it with sam . does this have something to do with the case you two are working on ? patrick : not quite . what 's going on here ? maxie : well , i want it known that i realize you 're dodging the question . patrick : duly noted . so , what 's up with the paperwork ? maxie : this has to do with my custody hearing . i 'm trying to make sure all the bases are covered and that i have an answer to every question . patrick : how 's it going ? maxie : looks like it could go my way as long as i stay away from nathan . patrick : judge still wo n't let you see him ? maxie : not if i want to see my little girl . [ cell phone rings ] maxie : oh , it 's lulu . i 'm gon na take this . patrick : of course . maxie : lulu , hey , what 's up ? did , uh , dante and nathan get back from taking faison to pentonville ? lulu : maxie , uh ... something 's happened , and i do n't know to tell you , so i 'm just gon na say it . nathan was shot . elizabeth : see ? no big deal . we 're not even gon na sit at the table . jason : you made soup . elizabeth : mm - hmm . secret recipe passed down from my gran . pull the soup out of the pantry . open , heat , serve . jason : sounds complicated . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] you look better . jason : i feel better . the shower made me feel great . thanks . elizabeth : good . you want to watch a movie ? jason : yeah , sure . sure . what are you thinking ? elizabeth : i do n't know . let 's see what 's on . tv : ... should be considered armed and extremely dangerous . again , if you 're just joining us , we 're continuing to follow this breaking story at pcpd plaza . a police van transferring international criminal cesar faison to pentonville prison was intercepted by a masked gunman . both the gunman and faison are now on the loose . elizabeth : faison escaped ? anna : i was on with the coast guard . jordan : oh . yeah , let me guess . the boat 's abandoned ? anna : yeah , of course . jordan : [ chuckles ] anna : whoever hit us is nothing if not efficient . [ sighs ] so , an unregistered chopper was seen in the air near where the boat 's last location was . dante : if faison 's rendezvousing with another ship in international waters , he 's gone for good . wh - what 's our next move ? anna : i do n't know . we have to regroup . i do n't know . um ... can you go and see how nathan is at the hospital ? and you and i -- we 're gon na call the feds and see if they 'll assist us , okay ? dante : anna , anna , i do n't belong at the hospital . i belong here . anna : no , i know . i just want you to see nathan for me . i want to make sure that he 's okay . will you do that ? dante : yeah , of course . anna : thanks . jordan : eight months i 've been undercover trying to put that drug kingpin behind bars . eight months . and in less than 48 hours , he escapes custody ? come on . massicotte 's gon na have our head . anna : i know . bob : well , agent ashford . that might be the first thing you 've gotten right all year . alexis : when you called me out on thanksgiving , you were right . i was defending julian , and i - i - i do n't think i even realize when i 'm doing it . but now i do . ned : well , as long as we 're making apologies , i owe you one , too . alexis : no , you do n't . ned : yes , i do . i was overly defensive about my father , and my only excuse is that he 's still missing . and even though my father is a -- has a criminally flawed character , i do n't want to see anything happen to him . alexis : of course you do n't . ned : so ... can we call it even ? alexis : just hear me out for a second , though . i am trying to put julian behind me , but when i think about the two of us together and what that cost me , i 'm really mad at myself , and i think that i jump to his defense because i 'm trying to ... show that he has some decency in him , that he -- he is n't indefensible . ned : you want to believe there 's good in him . alexis : yeah . because then i 'm not such an idiot for falling in love with him . ned : julian 's done a lot that you 'd have to excuse . alexis : well , one thing i ca n't excuse is what he did to ric . he framed molly 's father . ned : julian framed ric ? alexis : mm - hmm . to deflect suspicion off his boss . ric was innocent . molly saw the truth , and i chose to believe julian over my own daughter , which is why she now hates me . ned : molly will come around . alexis : why should she ? ned : well , you just told me that ric has been vindicated , although i 'm sure that makes things even more difficult for her because ... molly wishes that her father had lived to see his name being cleared . alexis : maybe he will . ned : what ? alexis : ric is alive . molly : surprise ! hi ! tj : [ laughs ] hey , you . i thought you were gon na be at the library all night . molly : yeah . i changed my mind . oh , which reminds me , i forgot to turn my phone back on when i left . [ cell phone chimes ] tj : sounds like you might have missed something . molly : nothing important . [ sighs ] tj : you sure you do n't want to return any of those calls from your mom ? molly : what 's there to say ? my mother chose julian over me , and because of that , my father is dead . tj : moll , it 's not like your mom is the one that killed your dad . molly : and your mother is n't the one who killed your father . are you saying you 're ready to forgive her ? jordan : bob , as soon as i heard that faison escaped , i was immediately on that trail . okay ? but his people moved too fast . bob : cesar faison is an international terrorist . you should have been supervising that transfer . anna : no . no . that was n't jordan 's call . no . the transfer was under local jurisdiction until we handed faison over to the feds at pentonville . bob : so you 're saying you 're to blame for all this ? anna : oh , come on . you and i go way back , bob . so , i 'm just gon na assume here that you 're as frustrated as we all are and you 're not looking to throw someone under the bus . bob : just calling it like it is . anna : okay . bob : you may not be to blame for this escape , but everything that 's led up to it is on you . jordan : what are you talking about ? bob : you had one job , ashford -- give us the identity of the head of the jerome crime family . you came up empty . julian jerome 's girlfriend got him to give up the boss ' identity . now , we 've got -- what ? -- dead hit men ? we 've cut loose pushers . we turned a blind eye to ava jerome mowing down a pedestrian . jordan : okay . you are not here for the day - to - day , bob , okay ? i had to improvise . i had to -- to make it up as i went along . bob : the way i see it , you spent more time covering for the jeromes than you have trying to bring them to justice . jordan : what ? that is bull , okay ? i - i - i am invested in this . i - i 've given my life to this . i 've sacrificed my family ! you have no idea the tough calls that i 've had to make on the spot . bob : you 're right . you 're right . but now i have to make a tough call . you 're fired . i 'm getting word from one of my producers that wxpc has obtained exclusive footage of cesar faison 's escape . this is video recorded on a cell phone by an eyewitness at pcpd plaza . i 'm told that this footage is harrowing and uncut . we advise our viewers to use discretion if they have young children in the room . here we see the unknown assailant has taken a hostage . sam : do n't give in to him . do n't give him what he wants . dante : all right . everybody just calm down . elizabeth : oh , my god . that 's sam . sam : not worth the risk to lose faison . nathan : i think i have a shot . anna : no . hold your fire . sam : do n't give him what he wants . nathan : i can drop the guy now . anna : not while he still has sam . jason : give me the keys or i 'm pulling this trigger . sam : i am fine . i swear i 'm fine . dante : look , you are surrounded by cops , man ! there 's no way out of this . you let the hostage go and no one gets hurt . nathan : i 've got him . i can clear the shot . anna : you 're not taking the prisoner ! there 's nowhere for you to go . sam : [ screams ] [ gunshot ] elizabeth : no . maxie : i , uh , i have to get to the hospital . nathan 's been shot . patrick : maxie , i do n't know if that 's such a good idea . maxie : no , no . um , what do you think is quicker this time of night ? central avenue or van ness ? patrick : hey , you just told me that the judge said you 're not allowed to see nathan . maxie : look , i do n't care what judge walters said , okay ? if it were me , nathan would be at the hospital right now because that 's the type of person he is . that 's the type of person i want to be . i 'm going . patrick : all right . let 's go . dante : sam , how 's nathan doing ? sam : he 's in there . no one 's telling us anything . lulu : [ sighs ] dante : hey . lulu : thank god you 're okay . dante : yeah . lulu : did you track down faison ? dante : uh , no . we think he made it to international waters . uh , uh , excuse me . pcpd . uh , i want an update on detective west . nurse : i 'm sorry . you 'll have to speak to the attending . dante : do n't apologize to me . just tell me how he 's doing . we want to know if my partner 's gon na make it . tj : [ sighs ] you got a point . molly : [ sighs ] no . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to throw what 's going on with your family in your face . i know you do n't want to talk about it . tj : it 's just -- it 's a lot to process , you know ? you know , in my head , i get it . shawn was defending himself . but i ca n't help blaming him and my mom . their affair is what caused my dad to lose it the way he did . and to think i thought shawn loved my dad like a brother . and forget my mom , the affair . [ scoffs ] my mom 's a drug dealer . molly : have either of them tried to contact you ? tj : shawn is keeping his distance . i mean , he knows me well enough to know that 's what i need right now the most . but as far as my mom , she keeps telling me i do n't know the whole story and that , one day , i 'll understand why she 's doing this . but i 'll be damned if i can figure out what it could be . [ sighs ] jordan : i 'm fired ? anna : is this necessary , bob ? really ? bob : i 'm sorry , but yes . i knew you were n't ready for this kind of deep - cover assignment . jordan : what ? i - i was n't ready ? i spent two years building a cover in baltimore . bob : with street pushers . this is organized crime . okay , it 's my fault for letting you go this far . anna : no , look , bob . i am willing to make an official statement saying that jordan acted with distinction the whole time . bob : anna , i say this as your colleague and your friend . but your endorsement means next to nothing . anna : [ chuckles ] what ? bob : the higher ups are talking , and there 's gon na be hell to pay for what you did to faison , not to mention how you dragged ric lansing 's name through the mud . ned : so , anna staged ric 's death as a ploy to flush out julian 's boss . alexis : and now that the truth is out about faison , the wheels have been set in motion to bring ric home . ned : well , molly must be over the moon . alexis : molly does n't know about it because she wo n't talk to me . she wo n't return my phone calls or my texts , and i can pretty much guarantee that when she finds out that ric is alive , she 's still not gon na talk to me . ned : right now , molly is hurt . and if she 's anything like her mother , that 's when she gets stubborn . she 'll come around . alexis : you know me almost better than anyone else . ned : ' tis the job of us gatekeepers . alexis : i like you , ned ashton . and i look forward to seeing how this is gon na play out for us . that 's if you forgive me . ned : as far as i can see , there 's nothing to forgive . anna : the damage to lansing 's reputation and the pain that his family went through thinking that he was dead -- that was unfortunate . but it was a necessary evil in order for us to uncover the head of the jerome organization . and now everything is out in the open , so lansing will get back his good name . arrangements are being made to bring him out of witness protection . he 'll be back with his family . bob : so , you have n't heard about lansing . anna : heard what ? dante : is nathan okay ? dr. obrecht : my son will pull through , thanks to me . lulu : thank god . dante : i want to speak to him . dr. obrecht : nathan needs rest , detective . perhaps you should focus on finding whoever did this . did you catch the assailant ? dante : oh , no . he probably took off with , uh , that buddy of yours , you know , faison . but you probably do n't know anything about that , right ? dr. obrecht : are you suggesting i had something to do with this vicious attack on my son ? how dare you . lulu : he 's speaking from experience . dr. obrecht : i do n't have time for this nonsense . maxie : where is he ? where 's nathan ? lulu : wait , wait . nathan 's gon na be fine . he 's in cubicle two . the doctor wo n't let anyone see him . maxie : to hell with that . dr. obrecht : what do you think you 're doing ? ! maxie : nathan . nathan : hey . dante : sam , you okay ? sam : i 'm ... furious and a little more than humiliated . but other than that , i 'm -- i 'm fine . thank you . dante : but you 're not hurt ? patrick : wait . what do you mean hurt ? sam , what are you talking about ? were you involved in this tonight ? the officer who was shot has been identified as detective nathan west . he was rushed to general hospital for emergency treatment . his condition is unknown at this time . elizabeth : oh , i hope he 's gon na be okay . how did sam even get involved ? jason : she was a hostage . she did n't have a choice . he could have killed her . ned : hey . olivia : hey . so , it looks like , uh -- it looks like you and alexis , uh , worked things out , huh ? ned : yeah . yeah , i think , uh -- i think we 're back on track . olivia : [ sighs ] great . ned : listen , the movie was n't the only thing she interrupted . uh , you were about to tell me something just before she came in . remember ? olivia : oh . oh . well , yeah , i was just gon na say , you know , maybe if we were both , uh , going solo for new year 's eve , that -- that maybe we could , you know -- but -- but you and alexis patched things up , so -- so ... i 'm really happy for you . [ bottles clink ] ned : yeah . me , too . olivia : yeah . ned : now we just have to find someone for you . maxie : are you okay ? nathan : never better . dr. obrecht : my son needs his rest . he does n't have time for flirtatious banter . nathan : oh , sure i do . maxie : just a few minutes , please . dr. obrecht : i have to page dr. simpson for a consult . when i get back , you better be gone . maxie : thank you . dr. obrecht : you fought hard today . i 'm very proud . i do n't know what i 'd do if i lost you . never scare mutter like that again . maxie : are you sure you 're gon na be okay ? nathan : i - i 'm gon na be fine . but you 've got to go . maxie : no . i do n't have to do anything except for stand here and be happy that you 're alive . what were you thinking getting shot ? did n't anyone ever teach you to duck ? nathan : well , i did n't do it on purpose . maxie , the judge -- you ca n't be here . maxie : look , i dated someone who was shot and ... he died . so forgive me if i do n't care what i should or should n't be doing . i 'm not gon na wait in the waiting room , counting the seconds or bargaining with god . i do n't care what judge walters thinks or anyone else . you could have died tonight . i 'm not going anywhere . patrick : sam , please . can you just tell me if you 're okay ? sam : [ sighs ] i told you -- he did n't hurt me . patrick : okay , but you were in the middle of a gun fight . i think you should get checked out . sam : i took care of it . do n't worry about me , patrick . you can go . patrick : no , sam . you -- you could have been killed tonight , okay ? i - i 'm not gon na go anywhere . tv : for those of you joining us in progress , we are re - broadcasting cell phone footage of a masked gunman breaking international terrorist cesar faison out of police custody ... elizabeth : i 'm gon na call lulu and see if dante 's okay . tv : we 're hearing that faison and the masked gunman escaped via the harbor . the question many federal officials are asking now is `` what was cesar faison doing in port charles ? `` wxpc has learned , exclusively , from an anonymous source that the pcpd has identified faison as the true head of the jerome crime family . this contradicts an earlier statement naming the late ric lansing as the drug ring 's leader . elizabeth : oh , my god . jason : what ? you okay ? what 's going on ? elizabeth : ric . ric . jason : that ric ? you know him ? elizabeth : i was married to him . anna : heard what about ric ? bob : this is what i 've been trying to tell you . people do n't trust you . you 're out of the loop . anna : oh , cut the crap , bob . what have n't i heard about lansing ? tj : [ sighs ] what 's this ? molly : it 's , um , an editorial i wrote about my father 's innocence and how the justice system failed hi h innocence and how the justice tj : [ sighs ] what 's this ? molly : it 's , um , an editorial i wrote about my father 's innocence and how the justice system failed him ... how his friends and family failed him , too . tj : you did n't fail him , molly . you never stopped believing in him . molly : well , a lot of good that did him . tj : so , what 's up ? are you sending this to the paper ? molly : you mean the paper run by the man who framed him ? yeah , something tells me it wo n't make the cut . i 'm gon na post it online and hope it goes viral . it wo n't bring my dad back , but if it keeps this from happening to anyone else , then ... maybe his death wo n't be in vain . tj : okay . alexis : oh , there you are . i 've been looking all over for you , and i know that you know that i 've been looking for you . molly : yes . alexis : [ sighs ] molly , i know how angry you are at me . i really do . but i - i really do need to tell you something . olivia : it 's come to that , has it ? now i 'm your -- i 'm your sad - sack single buddy who you got to -- you got to set up on a blind date with -- with some guy from work with the great personality ? ned : olivia , my point was that you 've come to mean a lot to me these last few months . when we first started hanging out , we were both ... broken . you were coming off a breakup . i was stuck in a rut of monotony that lasted way too many years . and we bonded over being losers . olivia : mm , your words , not mine . ned : true . true . and you know what ? i was n't being fair to either one of us , because we 're not losers . we 're due for some happiness . and i 'm starting to find mine . and i have no doubt that yours is just around the corner . the right guy is out there for you , olivia . olivia : [ sighs ] okay . enough chitchat . press `` play . `` we 're just getting to the good part . ned : you got it . nathan : hey , ma -- what are you doing ? you ca n't -- no . you ca n't be here . if the judge knew you were here -- maxie : you are hurt . this is where i need to be . and i 'm not gon na go anywhere . patrick : i do n't want to leave you . sam : look , i - i myself need to just sort all of this out , okay ? patrick : sam , you could have been killed tonight . sam : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i have a - a couple scratches on me . it 's not a big deal . patrick : look . i know that you 're upset with me , and i do n't -- i do n't blame you . but that 's not gon na stop me from caring about you . i 'm glad you 're not hurt . lulu : is everything okay ? sam : yeah , it 's nothing . dante : sam . i 'm sorry to have to do this now , but i need to , uh , get your statement . sam : you need a statement ? okay . here 's one . that gunman helped the man who killed jason go free . i 'm gon na find him if it 's the last thing i do . elizabeth : ric and i were reconnecting . it -- it was the start of something good . a - and just when i was willing to give him a chance , he was arrested . jason : the police thought he was a mob boss ? elizabeth : i turned my back on him . i mean , i changed my mind . but before i could tell him -- before i could tell him that i was gon na stand by his side ... he died in police custody . they killed him while he was trying to escape . he was innocent . if i -- if i had just believed in him , maybe he would n't have felt so helpless and ... maybe he 'd still be alive . [ sighs ] anna : no , i - i ca n't believe that . bob : well , do n't be too proud of how you handled the ric lansing situation . from where i stand , it 's just another bullet point on the list of your colossal screw - ups . anna : come on , bob . you know damn well investigations like this are messy . you do the best you can and you hope for a positive outcome . i stand behind every decision i made . bob : good luck with that . i 'm sure the both of you will be hearing from me or someone higher up on the food chain real soon . jordan : he 's just -- he 's just trying to get into your head , okay ? this is n't your fault . anna : maybe not . maybe . i - i know what i have to do , though , to mitigate the damage . i got to call alexis . [ sighs ] molly : i heard everything you had to say last night , mom . there 's nothing left for us to discuss . alexis : molly , there really is . trust me . and -- and i know you 're gon na want to hear it . [ cell phone rings ] molly : you better get that . could be important . alexis : molly . can you just hold on one sec -- anna , this is not a - a -- this is not a good time right now . actually , i was just about to tell molly that ric is alive . anna : yeah . um ... i would advise against that . something 's happened . alexis : [ sighs ] what now ? what 's going on ? anna : ric is missing . [ next_on ] carly : ( to sonny ) who the hell did this to you ? fluke : ( to michael ) i need to talk to you about something . jason : ( to sam ) do you know who the gunman is ? dante : ( roughing up suspect ) now you tell me what you know . delia : ( to kiki and morgan at ryan 's ) it 's you !

[ scene_break ] sam : hayden said that she was n't the only person who knew your identity . she 's living with nikolas now , so it 's a safe bet that he 's probably the one who told her . nikolas and elizabeth -- they have a long history together . i mean , they go all the way back to high school . jason : that 's a theory . where 's your proof ? sam : when you proposed to elizabeth , she did n't answer you right away , right ? jason : so ? sam : so , i found her in the chapel that night , and she was a wreck . and i asked her why she could n't give you an answer , and she said it was because of me . i did n't realize it that night , but she was talking about not being able to marry you , because i 'm already your wife . jason : okay . well ... assuming you 're right , how did you , uh , put all this together ? sam : i overheard jake tell danny that elizabeth and laura were keeping a secret about you . jason : okay , i do n't really care what you think about elizabeth , but do you really think she 's gon na bring my son into this ? sam : i do n't -- i - i do n't know . i do n't know , but i - it 's obvious that jake knows something . he does . and elizabeth is extremely defensive , and that 's what you walked in on tonight . jason : still have n't heard any proof . sam : elizabeth is the proof . come on . open your eyes . have n't the two of you ever had a cryptic conversation ? has n't she ever started to tell you something and then all of a sudden stopped ? or , i do n't know , maybe -- has she ever slipped up and said that she 's loved you longer than she 's known you to be jake doe ? jason : are you sure you 're not trying to convince yourself here ? are you sure you 're not trying to angle to get us back together ? [ scene_break ] dillon : i saw that the lights were on , so i thought i 'd take a chance and see if maybe we could talk . lulu : actually , this is not really , um , a good time because i need to get the boat all decorated for the holiday party . dillon : i can help . lulu : yeah , i work better alone . dillon : just because i 'm a director does n't mean i ca n't be directed . like these would look really great over here . lulu : actually , those -- uh , they need to stay in the box right here on the table until i decide where they go . dillon : lulu , please do not cut me out . we have n't spoken in weeks . i know that i screwed up huge , and i am -- i 'm gon na find a way to fix it somehow . gon na try .

[ scene_break ] dante : i do n't want to have this talk right now . maybe we , uh , do it in the morning , okay ? olivia : no , we can not do this in the morning . are you and lulu even speaking ? dante : uh ... we speak about rocco . olivia : okay , well , then let 's keep this about rocco . dante : okay . olivia : one minute he 's living with his mother and his father happily in a home , and the next minute , he 's being shuttled back and forth all over town . dante : better than being in the same room as both his parents . olivia : honey , it ca n't be that bad . dante : i did n't want this for us , for rocco , but that 's where we are . olivia : sounds like you 've just given up . dante : i 'm accepting reality . olivia : no , no . i did n't raise you to be a quitter . dante : [ scoffs ] olivia : i raised a strong , honorable man who fights for what he believes in , so if lulu stops talking to you , you keep talking to her . you do whatever it takes to save your marriage . is n't that what you want ? [ scene_break ] patrick : people talk about fighting for the ones that they love like it 's a competition that they can win , and it 's not . i - it comes down to a choice . it 's not my choice to make . and i ... ca n't believe i did that to you . i - i understand now how much ... what i put you through . sabrina : okay , so let me tell you what i learned from my experience . patrick : [ chuckles ] sabrina : when i saw robin in that church on our wedding day , i knew that it was over between us . and i could 've saved myself and you and robin and poor little emma , for that matter -- i could 've saved us all a whole lot of pain if i had just -- if i just had the courage to face what i knew was true in my heart . patrick : history repeating itself . so , what you 're saying is i should probably end it with sam before -- sabrina : oh , patrick , i do n't know . i do n't know the answer to that . patrick : [ sighs ] yeah . sabrina : it looks like you do . patrick : [ chuckles , sighs ] sabrina : well , patrick , look , you need to be honest with yourself . you need to make a choice . because it 's that -- it 's the dragging it out , it 's the uncertainty , that 's what makes the most damage .

[ scene_break ] sam : you do n't remember our marriage . you do n't remember our life together . there 's absolutely no point in me trying to get you back , even if i was n't ... engaged to patrick . jason : then why are you doing this ? sam : because you deserve to know the truth about your life . and so do i , for that matter . you 're my husband . do n't you see that ? if elizabeth had it her way , danny and i would never know that you were alive . jason : you want me to accuse elizabeth without proof ? sam : no , i want you to trust your instincts . look into my eyes . now go home and look into elizabeth 's eyes . you 'll see the truth . jason : goodbye , sam . [ scene_break ] michael : see , even patrick noticed . felix : michael , you need to let this go . sabrina : let what go ? felix : oh . [ clears throat ] all my special requests . before we get settled , could you ask the barkeep if the sauce is gluten - free ? and could you ask if the french fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer , and could you get me a club soda ? thanks . [ rock music playing ] sabrina : uh , since when did you start questioning the level of gluten in your food ? felix : since i needed to keep michael busy for five minutes while i talk to you . sabrina : about what ? felix : the rose shortage . what do you think ? ! sabrina : wait , what 's going on ? felix : michael was at the hospital to visit dr. lee . sabrina : what ? ! felix : bri , the man ca n't turn around without someone remarking about how big you 're getting . sabrina : oh , my god . felix : he 's worried that you 're gon na have a rough delivery , and he wants to discuss it with your ob . sabrina : but if michael does that , then -- felix : then your claim that you 're carrying michael 's baby unravels . [ music continues ] [ scene_break ] lulu : you honestly think that our friendship is over ? dillon : it 's possible . i mean , i have done some pretty heinous things . lulu : i do n't love that you made a public spectacle out of outing my husband as a cheater or that you were hoping we would break up so that you could have a chance with me . dillon : that sounds so much worse when you say it . lulu : but all that being said , it 's not like you framed dante . he did what he did with my cousin . there 's no reason that i would take my anger at him out on you . dillon : that 's very gracious of you . lulu : if you 've been feeling any distance from me , it 's because i 'm embarrassed that i kissed you . dillon : i think you 've been inhaling too much peppermint , because that 's not how i remember it . lulu : uh , you know , i have an idea . let 's , um ... why do n't we just hit the reset button ? dillon : can we do that ? johnny : do n't think you can walk and chew gum at the same time , mr. director . lulu : would n't be the first time . dillon : i would really like that because i could really use one normal relationship in my life . lulu : me , too . i do n't think i could handle losing one more thing i care about . dillon : is it okay if i ask what you mean by that ? lulu : my marriage is all but over . [ scene_break ] olivia : do you even want to save your marriage ? dante : it 's not that simple , okay ? olivia : well , you make it that simple ! you ask yourself , do you love lulu ? and if so , are you willing to do anything it takes to keep that ring on her finger , to keep that kid in a two - parent home , or are you just gon na throw up your hands and let this whole situation get worse ? dante : it is n't about trust , mom . okay ? or the lack thereof , i should say . i - i - i apologized to lulu over and over again . i - i 've told her i love her i do n't know how many times . she will not take the leap to trust me again . olivia : keep trying . you keep working harder . dante : she broke into my work e - mail to spy on me . olivia : that just came out of a sense of -- of -- dante : sadness , frustration , hurt , lack of trust . olivia : yes , probably . all of the above . so -- so you pick yourself up and you try again , dante . lulu is the love of your life . you do n't just let her go . dante : i did n't let her go . she let us go . she served me with separation papers on thanksgiving . olivia : yeah , alexis told me that that happened , but -- but -- but it did n't sound like it was a done deal . dante : well , it is now . she came by . valerie was here . was a whole thing . but i gave her what she wanted . signed those papers , gave them back to her . olivia : hold the phone . the hell was valerie doing here ? dante : [ sighs ] olivia : do n't tell me you 're hitting it again with that home wrecker . dante : then do n't ask .

[ scene_break ] lulu : dante and i are officially legally separated . i dropped off the papers on thanksgiving , and then i ... changed my mind , and i went back to pick them up the next morning . dillon : and ... ? lulu : and nothing . dante had signed them . so much for him loving me , wanting to work things out , and putting our family back together . dillon : do not , for one second , think that i am defending dante , because i do n't think he 's remotely worthy of you , but ... you 're the one who dropped off the papers . do you think that he signed them just because he knew that that 's what you wanted ? lulu : [ scoffs ] no . i think dante wants our marriage to be over , and so do i . dillon : see , i would love to believe that , but i -- i see how miserable you are , and i just ca n't . i ... [ scoffs ] i do n't think you know what you want , lulu . i think you need some time to figure it out . and if you decide that loving dante is your first , best destiny ...

[ scene_break ] felix : you knew you were pushing your luck . it 's time you told michael the truth . sabrina : yeah , well , that 's easy for you to say . you 're not the one who 's gon na lose him . felix : okay . will he be hurt that you have n't told him before now ? probably . but he 's a good man -- much better than he who shall not be named . i think that once michael 's had time to process , i think everything will be okay . sabrina : what if you 're wrong ? felix : it 's still better that michael hears the truth from you than someone else . once michael shows monica that sonogram , she 'll know for sure that you 're much further along than you 've been saying . it wo n't take michael but two seconds to realize your baby is n't his . michael : all right , [ clears throat ] your order 's in , with all the dietary requirements accounted for .

jason : you gon na tell me why you went to the cops ? curtis : look , i know you did n't want me to involve law enforcement -- jason : i did n't and you felt the need to talk to the commissioner anyway , so this big information you have better be good . curtis : judge for yourself . jason : what are you about to show me ? curtis : the first step into clearing your boy sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] nelle : sonny . the guard said i could come up . sonny : no , no , thanks for coming . nelle : sorry i could n't get here sooner . sonny : that 's fine . that 's fine . nelle : so ... why 'd you need to see me ? sonny : well , for starters , uh ... i found this . nelle : [ gasps ] oh , my god , thank god . i was so afraid i 'd lost it . where 'd you find it ? sonny : it was under my bed . now , carly came by to pick up some early christmas presents for joss , and if she had checked under the bed and found that necklace before i did , we 'd have a big problem . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] ava : good afternoon . i hear congratulations are in order . julian : are they ? ava : yeah , you 're being released today . julian : yes , that . yeah . ava : well , i have everything all set for you at my place . i interviewed several nurses . i think i found one or two that 'll -- julian : you know , that 's not gon na be necessary actually . ava : uh ... [ laughs ] of course , it is . because as much i love you , dear brother , and you know that i do , i have never been nor will i ever be your nurse . julian : that much i know . ava : so who 's gon na be taking care of you while i remain distant and slightly amused at your condition ? julian : well , i have someone in mind i think will be , um , perfect for the job . [ scene_break ] nathan : griffin , thanks for meeting us , man . griffin : yeah , of course , what 's going on ? nathan : well , we just got back from wyndemere , tried to shake down valentin , rattle his cage about claudette . griffin : well , did you find out anything ? nathan : nothing useful yet . but maybe if you and i sat down and we talked about everything [ pager beeping ] nathan : that claudette told us about valentin , we could find something to use against him . griffin : yeah , and i 'd be happy to help . let me just check on this , and i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . nathan : yeah , yeah , no problem . griffin : hey , thanks again . nathan : of course . dante : hey . nathan : hey . you all right ? dante : yeah , that was rocco 's school . they had a problem with his permission slip for his field trip . nathan : you get it straightened out ? dante : yeah , i did , but they tried to get ahold of lulu first , and they could n't . [ scene_break ] maxie : so dr. bellamy caught you with the file that proves claudette was not charlotte 's biological mother , that she was just a surrogate . dr. bellamy was perfectly calm , perfectly nice , and then he locked us in here . that much we do know . lulu : i ca n't get a signal in here . maxie : what we do n't know is if he knows what we were really looking for and if he 's now calling the cops . or he 's just a total perv . lulu : the longer he leaves us in here , the more nervous i get . maxie : wait a minute , what happened to `` we want him to call the cops so dante and nathan will rescue us and get us out of this situation `` ? lulu : i was in denial . or i was kidding myself . or i was overly optimistic . it all adds up to the same thing . we have to get out of here right now . maxie : okay . hang on a second . oh , my god , we 're really stuck in here ! dr. bellamy : one of them was looking at your daughter 's file . valentin : just to confirm , the paperwork makes clear that claudette was the surrogate , not the biological mother . dr. bellamy : correct . valentin : i guess i 'm gon na have to clean this up sooner than i thought . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu 's still not answering . you get ahold of maxie ? nathan : hold on a second . nothing . straight to voicemail . something 's wrong , man . what do you think is going on ? dante : i do n't know , but whatever they 're doing in new york city has nothing to do with the wedding and everything to do with charlotte . griffin : hey , maxie and lulu came to see me about charlotte . dante : when was this ? griffin : last night . nathan : what did you tell them ? [ scene_break ] maxie : do you have anything even remotely resembling a plan ? lulu : i am thinking . um ... he locked us in here , but he has n't done anything to us yet . maxie : okay , okay , so maybe he does n't really suspect anything . lulu : no . no , there is no chance of that . maxie : okay , you are in a really glass - half - empty kind of mood . lulu : maxie , we are locked in here , which means he definitely did n't buy my story when he caught me with that file , which means he also does n't believe the reason why you 're here . maxie : i 'm sorry . i went through two unnecessary pelvic exams for nothing ? lulu : okay . i am so sorry . so , so sorry , but we have a big problem . dr. bellamy is definitely involved in all of this . so if he 's not calling the police , there is a good chance he 's calling valentin . [ scene_break ] curtis : okay , jordan let me look at additional footage from the street the night morgan took julian 's car . jason : so , wait , you guys have a clear shot of the car from this other camera ? curtis : no , but if anything happened to julian 's car when he went into the floating rib , i have no evidence of it . jason : okay , so what 's this big revelation ? curtis : after i saw what the police had , i realized that that additional surveillance footage came from the drugstore across the street , so i went and chatted up the surprisingly attractive store manager , and i got this footage i have now . jason : awesome , what 's on it ? curtis : watch this . voilà . jason : what am i looking at here ? curtis : well , there 's a homeless man in the area . i 'm willing to bet he was n't interviewed by the cops . jason : oh , yeah . he 's definitely looking in pete 's direction when pete moved away from the car . curtis : and then this dude moves behind the van . fast forward a little bit . moments later , he reappears with a plastic chinese takeout bag . and he dumps it in the far garbage can . and then he vanishes into the night . jason : that is interesting timing . curtis : i thought so . jason : all right , so now we 've got to find this guy or we 've got to find that bag . [ scene_break ] nelle : i am so sorry about the necklace . you know , yesterday was the first time i even realized it was gone . sonny : wait , wait , it 's not the necklace , it 's what it represents . can we sit down for a second ? nelle : yeah . sonny : um ... [ sighs ] okay , i slept with you and i should n't have . and now we have to deal with the consequences . nelle : yeah , i know . i mean , the truth is , sonny , ever since we slept together -- and seeing carly every day -- i mean , it 's been really rough , you know ? i have to brace myself every time i go into work just because i feel so guilty . and i 'm sure you feel a billion times worse . sonny : i feel very guilty . nelle : i mean , it 's pretty obvious that you and carly have a very strong connection . sonny : we 've had a connection -- we even have a connection when we 're not together . nelle : which is so beautiful . you know ? most people , even happy people , do n't have a connection like that , which is why i 'm not able to sleep at night . the thought that if carly were to find out that we slept together , that that connection might be damaged beyond repair . sonny : yeah , that 's why you 're not gon na say anything , right ? nelle : no , no , no , no . i mean , we decided that it was best for carly and that that would hurt her , of course . no , we have to keep this a secret . yeah , i promise . sonny : well , i need to take you at your word here . nelle : sonny , i swear i 'm not gon na hurt you or carly or your family , okay ? sonny : good , good , good . so , you know , that 's why -- the reason why i called you here . 'cause , uh , i figured out a way to resolve the situation . [ scene_break ] ava : i assume you vetted these healthcare professionals that are gon na be taking care of you while you 're recovering . julian : she 's been vetted . ava : she ? not they ? julian : okay , look , i do appreciate all the work you 've done in screening the nurses and the home - care workers . ava : yes , i did , i devoted hours to making sure the people taking care of you would be trustworthy , that my home would be a sanctuary for you . you 're a grown man , it 's your life . those are your injuries . you get to choose who takes care of you . i just hope whoever it is can also double as a bodyguard . julian : i got to tell you , i 'm really looking forward to getting out of this hospital . ava : changing the subject , are we ? come on , julian . tell me what -- what is going on . you are unusually calm for a man who was recently attacked . julian : i simply feel good , you know , that 's all . in fact , i feel better than i have in a long time . ava : you do , you feel good ? julian : i do . ava : well , in the meantime , the person who ran you over is still out there . and sonny , or god knows which of your enemies , could try to kill you again . julian : story of my life . ava : well , nobody has come up with another explanation for what happened to you . and while you 're recovering , i would think you would insist that you could trust the people around you . julian : and that 's exactly what i 'm doing . ava : okay , brother . what is it you 're not telling me ? julian : okay , the person who i 've chosen to take care of me is n't a nurse or a home - care worker at all . ava : did you poach a security guard from the hospital ?

[ scene_break ] dr. bellamy : well , i must say , you two are very good hostages . you 've stayed reasonably quiet , you have n't broken anything or started yelling for help . maxie : yeah , not our first rodeo . lulu : you should be made aware that my husband and my friend 's fiancé are both detectives with the port charles pd . maxie : mm - hmm . dr. bellamy : well , that 's very charming . i 'm sure you 've tried to call them and you 've noticed the room is a dead spot . mm - hmm . it 's also rather soundproof . i would say go ahead and start screaming , but i 'll be able to hear you in the next room , and it will annoy me . lulu : i 'm sorry . what part of detective husband and fiancé do you not understand ? you are gon na need to let us go before you get into any more trouble . dr. bellamy : if anyone is in trouble here , it 's you two . you came here under false pretenses and broke into confidential files . fortunately , all you need to do to resolve this is sit tight . maxie : oh , oh ! lulu : ahh . maxie : okay , okay , okay . all right . okay . walls are soundproof , there 's no cell reception , that pretty much translates to `` no help is coming . `` so it 's on us to get ourselves out of here . okay . lulu : what are you doing ? maxie : getting weapons .

'cause that 's the way i was brought up . and you know what ? i changed . 'cause it was michael who taught me kindness is strength . nelle : i can see that . anyway , even if i did go back to atlanta , it 's not like i could just forget everything that happened between us . if anything , atlanta would be a constant reminder of how i screwed everything up here . i mean , i guess i should thank you . sonny : for what ? nelle : [ sighs ] reminding me that my job here with carly and knowing all of you has given me a , uh , a purpose . you know , when i met josslyn , i was able to see that the worst thing that ever happened to me was the best thing that ever happened to somebody else . sonny : well , i 'm glad you feel that way . nelle : yeah . i think , in time , i 'll be able to put what happened between us into some corner of my mind and not be constantly thinking about it . i want to continue building my life here ... a life that i like ... with people that i care about . so , please ... do n't send me away .

[ scene_break ] patrick : thank you for sticking up for robin . theo : you , sir , were terribly remiss in not noticing dr. niles ' thievery yourself . you 're a surgeon , supposedly observant . your lack of attention to detail is hardly reassuring to someone with a brain tumor you 've yet to locate . robin : how could patrick have seen lisa take the meds if she was n't even in his line of sight ? theo : how could he not have seen any indication of my severe trauma ? one suspects you see what you want to see and ignore the rest . which is bad for patients and for partners . [ scene_break ] lisa : i was under the impression that you and johnny were through . olivia : well , obviously john and i have a lot to discuss . you mind getting up off your knees and giving us a little privacy ? lisa : well , you promised it would be an interesting evening . you did n't disappoint . so call me later on . johnny : yeah . olivia : well , did i miss something ? i know i had a drink with steve the other night , but that seems a little extreme even for you . johnny : i 'm sorry that you had to find out this way . i ca n't do it anymore , olivia . the back and forth . one minute you want to be with me , the next minute you 're kicking me to the curb because you ca n't handle my life . it should n't be that difficult , and with lisa it 's not . olivia : i think i got a pretty good eyeful of just how easy lisa can be . johnny : look , our relationship was gon na end sooner or later . why keep dragging it out ? dante : ma ? olivia : yeah . dante : you okay ? olivia : oh , yeah , honey . i 'm fine . dante : what 's with the tears ? olivia : john and i broke up . i think for the last time . and , you know , i know it 's for the best , you know , but it just hurts like hell at the moment . dante : i 'm sorry . olivia : i am , too . dante : you want me to kick his ass ? olivia : could you , please ? dante : definitely . no one messes with my mom . olivia : oh , honey , i wish it were that simple . but i 'm really as much to blame as john , if not more so . so . dante : well , i mean , at least you tried . right ? olivia : yes . we did . we did . it 's just john and i are too different and we 're too much alike . we 're both too stubborn . we both need to have things our way . and he pointed out something else to me that i did n't think of because i probably did n't want the dose of reality . but with john in my life , there was always gon na be a wedge between you and i . as if sonny being your father was n't enough . dante : i 'm a big boy , okay ? you do n't have to base your decisions on how it 's gon na affect me . olivia : i know , honey , but i also do n't have to rub your nose into a table full of criminals , either . dante : look , i know i was never the biggest supporter of you being with him , but i know you loved him . i 'm sorry it did n't work out for you . olivia : yeah , well , you know what , baby , sometimes that 's the way that life is . things do n't work out , no matter how much you want them to . [ scene_break ] sonny : good to see you , buddy . michael : hey , dad . good to see you . thanks for meeting me here . sonny : is n't this great that we can just see each other whenever we want ? michael : yeah , it 's great . sonny : now , listen , i love to see you , but i got to meet brenda . is this an emergency ? michael : i do n't know , dad , you tell me . sonny : what ? michael : look , i know that being with brenda makes you happy . i can see that . it 's great . i 've never seen you so happy . but i keep thinking about what you told me , remember , when you said you and brenda love each other too much . if two people are bad for each other , you ca n't just blow that away , right ? sonny : carly put you up to this , i know she did . michael : no , she did n't . i have n't even talked to mom about brenda . it 's not that . it 's just a lot of time has passed , right ? and what if you get back together with brenda and you realize you do n't feel the same way ? sonny : okay , stop . stop right there . you should n't be worrying about me . i 'm your dad , i 'm the one that should be worrying about you . michael : i 'm fine . sonny : and i 'm fine , okay . brenda and i , we got a second chance . and we 're gon na take it . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , hey . do you have a sec ? patrick : yeah , sure . sam : okay , good . look , i 'm working on a case on cheating spouses . patrick : and you come to me for that . that 's flattering , sam . sam : no . look , my client believes that her husband , dr. randall flyte , is having an affair with one of his patients . he works here , and i think you 've also treated the patient in question , so i was hoping that maybe you could add some insight . [ scene_break ] nikolas : yeah , sorry , i 'd love to do tree night with you , but i already have plans . elizabeth : that 's okay . it 's not like i gave you advance notice . nikolas : well , we can do it another night . i have the next few nights free . elizabeth : i ca n't do that to the boys . they 're really looking forward to doing it tonight . nikolas : right , of course . i understand . i 'm sorry it did n't work out , but i appreciate brook lynn : hey . nikolas : hey , wow . wow , right on time . brook lynn : well , see what a good influence you are ? hey , elizabeth . elizabeth : hi . i have n't seen you for a while . i thought maybe you 'd gone back to bensonhurst . brook lynn : you thought or you hoped ? [ scene_break ] robin : so , as you can see , lisa has been on a very determined , very well thought out mission to discredit me . and today would have been another appearance of robin the paranoid if you had n't backed me up . theo : astonishing . robin : i know . lisa is a piece of work . theo : i was referring to you . how can a woman of your obvious intelligence sit back and let your husband 's deranged mistress ride roughshod over you ? [ scene_break ] olivia : yo . doc , where 's the fire ? steve : sorry . olivia : you okay ? steve : no . no . as a matter of fact , i 'm not . i 'm about 2 heartbeats away from resigning my position as chief of staff . olivia : looks like somebody reached a pretty critical mass . steve : i 'm a doctor , i 'm a surgeon , i 'm best in a triage situation , moving on the fly . i should n't be wasting my time shuffling papers and managing sandbox behavior by three of my best and brightest . these people do n't know how to stay out of their own way . olivia : let me guess , this has something to do with the doctors drake and everybody 's favorite blonde ? steve : you know , for months . this has been going on for months . robin is permanently pissed off , constantly trying to get lisa arrested , who , if i 'm to believe robin , is certifiably nuts . and then there 's patrick who 's stunned silent at the monumental mess he 's made of his life . olivia : well , if only everyone could be bright and reasonable like we are all the time . steve : finally , someone who gets it . olivia : doc , i know that sometimes being in administration can seem like a thankless task , but nothing works without you . right ? and in your particular case , you happen to be capable and sure , as well as objective and fair . gh is very lucky to have you . speaking as a mother whose only son 's life has been saved over there not once but twice , i personally thank you . [ scene_break ] dante : hey , johnny , you home ? johnny : just a second . this official ? dante : should it be ? johnny : i 'm sorry , maybe i worded that wrong . what do you want ? dante : i heard you and my mom broke up . johnny : mm - hmm . dante : heard she dumped you . johnny : what are you , the love police now ? dante : no . no , i 'm just really happy . johnny : great , yeah . well , olivia was too good for me and now you can come at me with a clear conscious . everybody 's happy . see you later . take care . dante : whoa , whoa , whoa . you 're awfully eager to get rid of me . any particular reason ? [ scene_break ] siobhan : the balkan 's thing against brenda is about payback for his son 's murder . he 's not likely to give up until he has her . lucky : and even less likely to show mercy once he does . siobhan : do you really believe brenda shot aleksander in self - defense ? lucky : as opposed to what , cold - blooded murder ? no , i 've known brenda most of my life . she 's no killer . siobhan : brenda 's very lucky to have a remarkable man like you at her back . so where do we go from here ? lucky : well , we 've made arrangements to have aleksander 's body transferred to port charles for a second autopsy . and once it 's done , the hospital will release the remains for claiming . and with any luck , enter the balkan . siobhan : why would the balkan show his face if he does n't have to ? he 'll send an emissary . lucky : well , then we 'll just follow the emissary . i mean , these days it seems as if all roads lead to the balkan , so we 're just gon na make our own bread crumbs . siobhan : where you going ? lucky : i have a meeting with agent bates . siobhan : well , agent bates can damn well wait . i 'm not done with you . [ scene_break ] sonny : brenda here ? jason : she knows you 're coming . sonny : so i should expect her downstairs in , what , 2 , 3 hours ? jason : you can go knock on the door if you want . sonny : i 'm not gon na go up there because i know it 's just gon na make it worse . but it gives us time to talk . jason : about what ? sonny : you did a security check ? jason : yep . sonny : satisfied ? jason : yeah . i mean , if you have to take brenda someplace , it 's acceptable . sonny : now it 's your turn . jason : my turn for what ? sonny : well , i 've heard it from michael , dante , carly 2 or 3 times . you know , it 's a mistake to be with brenda because she 's gon na hurt me , i 'm gon na hurt her , leave the past in the past . jason : it does n't really matter what anyone else thinks except for you and brenda , right ? sonny : i appreciate you saying that . 'cause , you know , we have been friends for a long time . but if you 've got an opinion , i 'm willing to hear it . jason : well , you know ... i used to believe that if something was over , that it was done . you know , you just let it go . hopefully you can move on , you can learn something . but when you love someone and it goes wrong for whatever reason , i just thought if you 're gon na try again , you 're kind of setting yourself up for disappointment . sonny : that was then . what about now ? jason : well , you know , with sam and i , it did n't work the first time . but we got another chance . with everything that went wrong , we still found out there was love there , and we tried again . and i 'm grateful for it . so i ca n't sit here and judge you and brenda . sonny : how does she feel about brenda invading your life ? jason : she hates it . she puts up with it . she does n't complain about it . sonny : if you had n't brought brenda back , you know , this would n't be happening . jason : i know . i just wanted to keep her safe . sonny : i understand and i appreciate that . and i promise you , as soon as the danger 's over , i 'm gon na get brenda out of here . jason : that would be good . brenda : hey , have you seen my cell ? oh , here it is . hey . how long have you been waiting ? sonny : not long . brenda : oh . why did n't you tell me you were here ? sonny : oh , actually we were talking about you . brenda : oh , that 's good . what were you guys saying ? jason : he just said he 's gon na get you out of here as soon as he can . brenda : where we going ? sonny : can i see you first ? brenda : you 're gon na change the subject ? what are you gon na say next ? that i was worth the wait ? sonny : always . brenda : where we going ? sonny : it 's a surprise . brenda : i like surprises . sonny : let 's go . brenda : thank you , darling . [ scene_break ] robin : lisa belongs in prison or in a nuthouse . and believe me , if justice would have been served , my life would be a whole lot easier . but lisa 's secondary to the real problem , which is the stalemate that 's become my marriage . theo : it 's a straightforward decision . stay mired in self - pitying martyrdom or unload the philanderer who cheated on you . robin : i do n't really know . i go back and forth all the time . one minute i want to reconcile in the worst way , and then the next i think maybe patrick and i are better off with a clean break . theo : that . [ scene_break ] patrick : yeah , of course i know dr. flyte . i 'm pretty sure i remember the patient . but i 'm not really sure what you 're asking me . sam : i 'm just wondering if you 've ever witnessed any sort of interaction between them . patrick : i was n't really paying attention . and even if i was , i 'm not in the position to comment on the morality of a cheating husband . [ scene_break ] brook lynn : well , actually , i did get a really cool gig . i 'm working with this latin singer and he 's working on his next cd , so he needed more songs , and he let me do , you know , background vocals , so . you 're very observant , liz , i have actually been spending more time in bensonhurst . but it 's good to know that i 've been missed . thank you . elizabeth : congratulations . i hope it turns into a long - term situation for you . brook lynn : so is this dress okay ? nikolas : yes , that dress is fantastic . [ scene_break ] dante : you got something going on you do n't want a cop to see ? johnny : no . i actually never want a cop at my door period . and without a warrant , you got to stay on the other side of that threshold . but if explaining myself will make you go away , i went on a bender last night . i got the equivalent of a chinese ping pong championship going off in my head and i do n't feel much like chatting . dante : all right . i 'll probably see you around , doing something illegal most likely . johnny : sure . i 'll see you there . dante : well , well , well . this is interesting . johnny : hi . dante : you two , huh ? johnny : uh - huh . good night , detective . lisa : well , looks like i arrived just in time . here . [ scene_break ] michael : thanks for coming by . abby : yeah . are you kidding ? i 'm dying to hear how it went with your dad . michael : well , i was all geared up to tell dad about dante and brenda . abby : but you could n't go through with it ? michael : my dad 's happy . and that never happens . and i could n't take it away from him . besides , who am i to get in the middle of my dad 's personal life ? abby : if you can spare someone you love a lot of pain , it 's kind of hard not to warn them it 's coming . michael : you think i did the right thing ? abby : i think everyone can make their own decisions . it 's up to dante to say or not say how he feels about brenda . michael : what would you have done in the situation ? abby : i 'm not sure . i 'd like to believe that i 'd just go for it . you know , take the chance . if i got my heart handed back to me , at least i 'd know i put myself out there for something that i wanted . michael : you know , i 've been thinking along those lines about myself . [ scene_break ] siobhan : seriously considering being insulted . lucky : insulted ? what are you talking about ? i thought i was pretty nice to you . siobhan : you were . it makes it all the more unsettling that you 're so anxious to get away . lucky : i 'm anxious to get back . the sooner i leave , the sooner i can come back to you . you know what , you did really great with the whole manhattan heist . siobhan : you speaking to me ? lucky : yes , i am . i mean , your plan turned out great . i would never have been able to get into ronan 's safe deposit box without you . you know , when all this is done , i think you should consider a career in law enforcement . or maybe espionage or something like that . 'cause i think you 'd make one hell of a spy , keeping secrets and all that . be back soon . man : yes ? siobhan : siobhan . i have information for the balkan , but i want to see him in person . man : impossible . if you know something , you better settle for me . siobhan : the cops are planning to use aleksander 's remains to draw the balkan out . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'll tell you what . why do n't you bring the boys out to wyndemere and help decorate our tree , extend the celebration . you deck the halls ? brook lynn : do i deck -- i 'm sorry , i 'm a cerullo . that 's like a big production for us . nikolas : okay . well , consider yourself warned because i 'm gon na need your expertise . what do you say , is it a date ? elizabeth : just call me and we 'll talk about it . nikolas : okay . all right , i will . we should probably get going . brook lynn : yeah , you ready ? nikolas : yeah . brook lynn : okay . [ scene_break ] patrick : i realize it 's an excuse and a lame one at that , but sometimes events do take on a life of their own . sam : i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to pry . patrick : long story short , sam , is i cheated on robin with dr. niles , and it 's affected our marriage , obviously . it 's something we 're still dealing with . sam : yeah , of course . look , can i offer you a piece of advice ? patrick : sure . sam : you got to let it go . i mean , you ca n't change what happened with lisa . you 've got to concentrate on moving forward . [ scene_break ] robin : elizabeth , would you mind giving this to patrick for me ? i ca n't deal with him right now . elizabeth : robin , i know you 're hurt and angry right now , and you have every right to be , but take it from me , be very sure before you push patrick out of your life . i pushed lucky and then i pushed nikolas . and a funny thing happened , they both went away . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm just gon na put this out there and you can feel free to throw it back at me if it 's not something you 're interested in or do n't want to hear . abby : i 'm listening . michael : all right . despite the ridiculous way we met -- abby : hey , we 've moved past that . no harm done . michael : yeah . look , you 're beautiful . what i 'm trying to say is i like you as a person and -- i do n't even know what i 'm trying to say . abby : what happened to just putting it out there ? michael : right . okay , i 'll just put it out there . i would -- will you go out with me ? abby : yes . michael : yes ? okay . great . fantastic . [ scene_break ] brenda : it 's completely pitch black . i ca n't see anything . where are we going ? sonny : out near monroe woods . brenda : why ? sonny : think about it , you 'll figure it out . brenda : i kind of remember that we used to fantasize together about our dream house . do you remember that ? the house that we used to talk about with all the glass and wood and the stone - heated floors . what did you do ? what 'd you do ? what did you do ? sonny : i did n't do anything . [ scene_break ] jason : hey . i heard from lucky . he got into ronan o'reilly 's safe deposit box . so it looks like either the balkan had ronan looking into brenda 's connection to aleksander 's disappearance or ronan took it upon himself ... am i boring you ? dante : no . no . sorry . what was in the box ? jason : pictures of aleksander alone with brenda . but that picture of you and brenda when you were on guard detail was in the box . dante : that was in the box ? jason : yeah . so if the balkan gave ronan those pictures , we can be pretty sure that he suspects or knows that you were involved in his son 's death . [ scene_break ] lisa : okay , so take 2 , 3 times a day until they 're done . that 'll take care of the infection . johnny : i knew you could do it . lisa : you know , i got caught stealing those meds for you . i had to spin for my life . johnny : but you pulled it off , did n't you ? lisa : you know what , let me make this clear . i am not gon na take the fall for you . so this relationship , it needs to switch into mutual . like , i help you , you help me . johnny : you need something ? lisa : yeah . i need a female , an illegal immigrant , with an infection that requires antibiotics . [ scene_break ] sam : if you knew dr. flyte was unfaithful with his wife , would you tell me ? patrick : probably not . sam : all right , i figured that . at least you 're being honest . patrick : look , i heard rumors , but i do n't know if it 's true , so i 'd rather not comment . sam : she 's paying me , you know , so i got to keep digging . patrick : dr. flyte 's a good man . and from what i can tell , he cares about his family . if he did stray and he is remorseful , if all of that is true , i just hope that his wife does n't assume that their marriage is based on lies . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm doing just fine as a single working mom . it 's not about me needing someone to lean on . it 's about realizing too late that nikolas meant a lot to me . robin : you meant a lot to him , too . elizabeth : and i took him for granted . i pushed him away before i stopped to think about how it would feel when i succeeded . robin : why did you push him away ? elizabeth : i do n't know . fear , maybe . my need to prove something , punish him , punish myself . i do n't know . but whatever the reason , we had a chance at something and i did n't grab it , and now it 's gone . robin : excuse me . hey , sam . sam : hi . robin : i hope i 'm not interrupting . sam : no . are you kidding ? not at all . patrick was just helping me with a case . giving me some insight . [ scene_break ] abby : yes , yes , i would love to go out with you . michael : you would ? abby : yeah . i 've been hoping that you would ask . michael : you 're not just being nice , right ? i mean . abby : can you just take yes for an answer ? michael : okay . abby : i mean , yeah , let 's do dinner or something , for sure . michael : that 's awesome . well , i know this really great restaurant by the river . i 'm not sure what kind of food you like . abby : you 're safe , really . michael : anything ? abby : yeah . carly : hi , baby . michael : hey . carly : who 's your friend ? [ scene_break ] jason : steve webber says aleksander 's remains will be released wednesday at 5 pm , so our best case scenario is the balkan 's gon na show up or he 's gon na send -- what 's going on ? dante : i 'm sorry , man . i 'm like stuck on stupid here . i ca n't focus . have you ever wanted something and you ca n't think about anything else ? [ scene_break ] brenda : this house is amazing . sonny : i thought you 'd like it . you like it ? brenda : i love it . it 's perfect . woman : sinking , i 'm sinking fast brenda : aah ! sonny : what do you think ? brenda : oh , my god . how 'd you do this ? sonny : what do you mean ? i just wanted to get you something special . brenda : did you buy this ? sonny : lease with option . brenda : wait a minute , this is too extravagant . you know you do n't need to do this , right ? i do n't need you to do stuff like this for me . sonny : i wanted a place that we can call ours because we never had it before . and we can have it now . brenda : you sure ? sonny : i 've never been more sure about anything in my life . brenda : me neither . woman : the ties that never end will bring us home again

lucky tells siobhan that the man in the picture with brenda is definitely the balkan 's son . he speculates that the balkan must have known that his son followed brenda to new york and must suspect that brenda was involved in his disappearance - or at least that she knows something . siobhan asks lucky if he thinks brenda was involved with aleksander 's death . siobhan is disappointed when lucky leaves with the photographs that she is supposed to deliver to the balkan . she calls the balkan 's henchman and tells him that the police plan to use aleksander 's remains to draw out the balkan .

[ sighs ] how many bad choices can a guy make ? tracy : guess what ? the verdict 's in . luke : really ? tracy : mm - hmm . luke : i did n't even know they were deliberating . tracy : well , apparently , it did not take long for worthy people -- 12 of them -- with a modicum of common sense to come to a decision . looks like it 's curtains for a.j . judge chua : madam foreperson , i hear the jury has reached a verdict . we have , your honor . franco : look , it 's really nice of you , but you do n't need to worry , okay ? i feel like you and i are in complete agreement about heather webber . do n't think she 's gon na be in the way of my life ever again . lucy : oh , well , thank -- thank goodness . i - i was just really worried after that scene she made at the gallery , you know ? i just thought maybe she 'd reach out and get her hooks into you somehow , so good . franco : i 'm a little bit of a rush here . i do have a job to do . lucy : a job ? franco : yep . i got to get all this dirty laundry down to the laundromat . do n't want me to get fired , now do you ? lucy : no , no , no . wait , wait , wait . one last thing . i - i just wanted to say that now that we are on the same page about your mother , maybe we should compare notes about your father . monica : am i too late ? kiki : they just said that they reached a verdict . monica : oh . michael : dad . look , no matter what happens , i love you . judge chua : mr. quartermaine , will you rise ? madam foreperson , please read the verdict . in the charge of murder in the first degree , we find the defendant , alan james quartermaine , jr. , not guilty . tracy : my deadbeat nephew murdered my friend , and now he 's getting what he deserves . luke : and it 's a good thing , as long as your elq stock does n't take a hit . tracy : you know , i ca n't believe i 'm saying this , but ... some things are actually more important than a healthy stock portfolio . luke : [ coughs ] let 's do n't be too hasty . tracy : you talk a good game , but for a larcenous freeloader , you are incredibly loyal . case in point -- sean donely . did he get the cure ? luke : he did . and i talked to tiffany . she administered the dose herself . he 's already showing signs of improvement . tracy : mm . tiffany and her daughter must be enormously relieved . luke : mm . tracy : and what about jerry jacks ? any sign ? luke : not a trace . tracy : how could anybody fall off that terrace of the metro court and not only survive but disappear ? luke : they could n't ... without help . and , unfortunately , i think i know who provided that help . ava : carlos has been our associate for a long time now . if he 's upset -- julian : exactly -- associate , not a friend , in spite of your fondness for him . so , if carlos is upset about , uh , sabrina getting married , we 're not the people he 's gon na turn to . we 're his employers , remember ? ava : i suppose that 's true . julian : ah , he 's a big boy , ava . he can take care of himself . ava : then why ca n't i shake this bad feeling ? sonny : that 'll do . carlos : please do n't do this . sonny : you should be grateful . i would have clipped your ass last week if it was n't for your last name . carlos : my name ? sonny : i needed to make sure you were n't related to my late wife . carlos : i could be valuable to you . sonny : valuable ? you want to be valuable to me ? you send a message to your boss , and you let him know who runs this -- you know , i do n't need to be talking to him . end it ! carlos : wait ! wait ! scott : your honor , there must be some kind of a mistake here . judge chua : i presume you wish to poll the jury , mr. baldwin . scott : you bet i do . approach ? a.j . : i do n't -- i do n't understand . what -- what just happened ? michael : diane was right . there was n't enough evidence to convict . kiki : and the evidence that they did have was all circumstantial . monica : oh , my god . this is some good news . a.j . : i - i -- of course it is . i 'm just surprised . monica : well , you 're probably in shock . judge chua : madam forewoman ? not guilty , your honor . scott : what 's the matter with you people ? ! are you blind ? ! judge chua : mr. baldwin ! may i remind you that this is my courtroom ? any further outburst from you , and i will hold you in contempt . now take your seat . alan james quartermaine , jr. , you 've been found not guilty by a jury of your peers . the charges are hereby dismissed . you 're free to go . a.j . : thank you . franco : look , i do n't mean to be rude to you , but i 'm kind of in a rush . [ car alarm beeps ] franco : it may not look it , but i actually have something really important to do . lucy : oh , i 'm sure you do . wait , wait , wait ! i 'm sure you do , and i promise you -- whoa ! whoa ! this wo n't take long . i promise . i just want to say to you that i - i know that it seems scott was taken really aback by this little paternity revelation , but i really believe you should still make the effort to try and get to know him . take another stab at it . franco : ah , look , scott -- he does n't want anything to do with me . lucy : no , no , no . that 's where you 're wrong . you see , he was -- he was just a teeny weeny bit overwhelmed . i mean , sudden parenthood kind of does that to you . not that i have any personal experience , you know , really . i mean , i have been around reunions where they were unexpected and you feel it in your gut and -- i digress . okay . i 'm sorry . i - i just want to say that i truly believe in my heart that scott has calmed down by now . franco : he has not . lucy : why do you say that ? franco : because it 's the truth . apparently , having me as a son would be bad for his career . district attorney baldwin made it perfectly clear that i was to keep my distance . lucy : scott a -- he actually said that ? franco : pretty much word for word . lucy : wow . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . you know , i - i imagine that must have hurt a little bit . [ slaps ] do n't you worry . i am going to talk to scott right now . franco : no , no , no . uh , really , you do n't need to go to the trouble . lucy : yes , i do . franco : uh , no . you do n't -- i mean , not on my account . lucy : [ sighs ] i really , really want to speak with scott . franco : oh ... good . i really , really ... have more important things than father on my mind . scott : you know , the jury may say that you 're not guilty , but they 'll never declare you innocent , 'cause you killed that man . you know it , and i know it . and you 're gon na spend the rest of your miserable life living with that . julian : actually , i 'm glad you 're here . there 's something we need to talk about . ava : really ? what 's that ? julian : my daughter . sam : i ran into julian , my -- my father , last night . carly : how 'd that go ? sam : well , he acted like nothing changed , that we could still work on this friendship -- this fake relationship that he pretended we had while he was acting like derek wells . carly : well , i hope you told him to go to hell . sam : well , of course . i said that i did n't want to have anything to do with him . julian : sam does n't want a relationship with me . ava : uh , ah , at the risk of sounding unsympathetic , she made it pretty clear the night the truth of your identity came out that she wanted nothing to do with you . the fact that she still feels that way is hardly a revelation . julian : it was n't just that . it was something that sam said afterwards . sam : in the heat of the moment , i said something without thinking . carly : what did you say ? sam : i accidentally said something to julian about ... our brother . julian : she said somebody by the name of lucas probably would n't want anything to do with me , either . ava : lucas ? who 's that ? julian : well , that 's what i need to find out . tracy : ava jerome ? you think that ava helped jerry jacks escape ? luke : she was at the scene of the crime acting awfully squirrelly for my taste . tracy : luke , i got to know ava a little bit when she was living here . and although she 's not the warm and fuzzy type , i definitely think that jerry jacks ' form of mayhem is a little bit beyond her , although he does have ties to the mob . luke : well , so does ava , if you read the paper . and this spud named , uh , derek wells turns out is actually julian jerome . now , i did n't know the man myself , never had any dealings with him , but i 've heard stories . the jeromes were heavy hitters , probably still are . does n't take a rocket scientist to know that this julian is here trying to take over the territory . tracy : you sound intrigued . luke : i like to keep up on current events . tracy : uh - huh . well , i 've got an idea . now that you and sean are cured , how about you stay the hell out of it ? luke : uh ... it ? be specific . what `` it `` do you refer to ? tracy : the `` it `` that may or may not connect jerry jacks to ava jerome and her brother . luke , you almost died . luke : i 'm all better now . tracy : oh , well , why do n't you stay all better and not become a target for jerry jacks or the jeromes , for that matter ? they are not people you want to cross , nor are their associates . carlos : you 're making a big mistake . sonny : this is happening . the least you can do is man up and accept it . take him . take him . carlos : no , wait , wait , wait ! you 've got to hear this . you have to hear this . shawn : look , i do n't know about you , man , but i 'm -- i 've had enough . carlos : please , you said that i was n't related to your late wife , but you were wrong . i am related to lily rivera . i 'm her brother . carly : you told julian jerome about lucas ? ! sam : no , no , no . no , not exactly . i just sort of blurted out his name . carly : what exactly did you say ? sam : i just said that i did n't want to have anything to do with him and i thought that lucas probably would n't want anything to do with him , either . but , carly , i promise that 's all i said . carly : you should have seen the look on my mother 's face , sam , when i told her that julian jerome was alive and well here in port charles . she was terrified . you know , she asked me how long would it be before julian finds out about lucas , and now i get to tell her as long as it took for him to have a conversation with you ! sam : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to say anything . i promise you -- i promise you julian does not know much . carly : just enough to make him curious . julian : well , there does n't seem to be anybody by the name in lucas in sam 's family . there 's nobody by that name in our family ... unless , of course , your , uh , mother had another , uh , bastard . ava : [ chuckles ] wow . you just love throwing that `` bastard `` part in , do n't you ? julian : statement of facts . so , any chance that , uh , you have another sibling that you forgot to mention ? ava : did my mom have another kid with father ? doubtful . after i was born , delia became obsessed with a more ... gauche family . julian : it 's just that the way sam mentioned his name , it sounded as if this lucas was supposed to be important to me . ava : are you sure you 're not reading too much into this ? interpreting a random statement as much more important than it actually is ? julian : no , no , no , no . when she mentioned his name , it was not random . ava : well , i 'm sorry , julian . i ca n't help you . the only lucas i know of in this town is lucas lorenzo spencer . luke : let 's forget the jerome and what they may or may not have had to do with jerry 's disappearance . we have some celebrating to do . [ cork pops ] tracy : whew ! well , yes and no . our respective families are dealing with a lot of pain at the moment . luke : i 've never seen lulu so low . but she 'll come out the other side . she 's a spencer . tracy : amen to that . luke : you know , if there 's anything that the last few months have taught me , it 's that you have to enjoy every moment . life is short . tracy : too short . luke : you have to savor the good , and , spanky , we done good . tracy : we did . luke : so , let 's savor it . to us . tracy : to us . and you 're right about what we have to celebrate . you and sean got the cure , a.j . is finally gon na get what 's coming to him , and if i can just get monica out of this house , i 'd have it all to myself ! [ laughter ] monica : well , do n't you mean my house ? tracy : monica , i 'm not gon na snipe with you . it must have been very painful watching your son get convicted of murder , no matter how much he deserved it . what the hell ? monica : you were saying ? scott : ladies and gentlemen of the jury , to you 12 blind idiots . and my first case as d.a . into my own waterloo . [ knocking on door ] [ knocking continues ] scott : keep your shirt on . [ knocking continues ] scott : [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] lucy : so , i see you 're just as angry as i am . scott : you heard . lucy : yeah , i heard . scott : can you believe it ? lucy : no , i ca n't believe it . i ca n't believe you finally find a long lost son and you throw him to the curb . scott : kick . you kick someone to the curb . lucy : oh , well , that too . listen to me . franco told me that you just cast him aside , just got rid of him because you wanted to protect your precious career . scott : well , some career i have left . lucy : you know something ? i have never been more disappointed in you in your entire life . i mean , you -- you find this great guy , this man who , as troubled as he may be , he is actually your son . scott : [ sighs ] yes , as if i need any more bad news . lucy : okay , okay . maybe he 's not that bad , you know ? i mean , maybe he was n't that bad . because whatever franco did or did n't do , he did because he was under the influence of that horrible tumor . and -- and they did -- they dispersed all the things that he was responsible for because that tumor made him do it , and -- and he was n't responsible for that . and now he 's had the tumor cut out , and now he actually is a - a better person . scott : but he still has the same bad attitude . would you like a cocktail ? lucy : no , i would not . have you ever just kind of considered why ? why did he turn out that way ? scott : well , because of this tumor that you 've been lecturing me about . lucy : no , just stop . just think . imagine if he 'd had a father figure , someone that would have recognized the early warning signs of this psychosis . scott : lucy , lucy , he needs a shrink , not a father . lucy : [ sighs ] well , you are an amazing father , and i would n't trade you for any other parent partner . i 'm -- i 'm just trying to imagine how you might have helped franco , what you could have done for him . scott : it 's a little late for that right now . lucy : no . no . it 's not too late at all . i really think that franco could use guidance in his life still . i - i feel like he 's in a really bad place . scott : do i want to ask how bad ? lucy : well , you know , just a few years ago , he was probably celebrated as one of the most famous , wonderful artists on the planet , and now he 's pushing a laundry cart . scott : [ sighs ] franco : i gave you every chance to back off , and you just would n't do it . you just could n't stop , and you were n't gon na stop until you killed carly , so i had to stop you , and maybe you thought that with the tumor gone that i did n't have it in me . but i do , because , mother ... there is n't anything i would n't do to keep carly safe . so , it turns out that my ... ability is n't gone . it 's still there for when i need it , like when somebody makes me do something like you made me do something . carlos : lily rivera is my sister . sonny : you 're not related . shawn checked . carlos : well , then , shawn did n't check hard enough . i 'm her brother . sonny : she 's an only child . carlos : no , lily was an only legitimate child . my father had a mistress . many men do . shawn : oh , come on , man . this is a bunch of bull , sonny . he 's reaching . ca n't you see that ? carlos : no , i 'm not ! sonny : hey ! hey ! i want to hear it . carlos : my father never married my mother , but he gave me his last name . he did n't have a legitimate son to take over the business . he wanted me to do it , but my mother -- she did n't want -- she did n't want me to have any part of it . she did not want this for my life . shawn : sonny , look , he 's lying . carlos : i 'm not . you just do n't want to admit you missed something . my mother hid me away . she was afraid of my father 's enemies . shawn : so , why did n't lily tell her husband ? or did n't she know ? carlos : she knew . lily knew about me . she respected my mother 's wishes . she did n't tell anybody about me . shawn : [ chuckles ] that 's a convenient story . carlos : yeah , well , the truth often is . shawn : do n't believe this man . carlos : you loved my sister , yeah ? well , she died . her and her baby died because of you . you really gon na kill her only brother now ? tracy : the case was a slam dunk . how could the d.a . let him go ? luke : what do you expect ? the people elected baldwin . michael : well , actually , uh , he was found not guilty because there was no evidence . tracy : oh , michael , you know better than that . and you -- you 're a smart girl . tell him . a.j . killed connie because he was drunk , in a rage , and he wanted someone to blame . you -- you 're no angel , but at least you paid for your crime . michael : wait , i confessed because i killed claudia . a.j . does n't even remember what happened to connie . tracy : no . a.j . does n't have the character or the integrity to admit what he did and pay the consequences . michael : well , there was reasonable doubt . luke : michael , do you ever think that you might be defending the wrong person ? i mean , i 'm no fan of the so - called justice system , but i 'd be plenty pissed if i had to go to pentonville for saving a child from a psychopath while some guy who shot a defenseless woman walks free . tracy : there 's no justice . connie deserved better , and you know it . come on , luke . let 's go celebrate some place else . michael : you know , a.j . , do n't listen to them , okay ? this is -- this is a great day . you 're a free man , right ? a.j . : yeah . yeah . monica : listen , tracy has always been a poisonous shrew , but tonight , she 's actually -- she 's right . we should celebrate . i 'm gon na have cook two fix a wonderful meal , all of your favorites . kiki : yes ! cook two . everything is so delicious . michael : well , maybe we should give cook two the heads up , right ? kiki : yes ! yeah . we 'll do that . great . a.j . : you know , luke makes a good point . i mean , how can michael not resent me for this ? kiki : how are you feeling ? michael : i - i do n't care what we have for dinner . kiki : that 's not what i 'm talking about . how do you feel about what tracy said ? michael : i do n't know . i mean , everyone has a right to their own opinion . not everyone 's gon na be happy that a.j . was acquitted , and , uh , [ sighs ] especially my dad . shawn : i vetted that family . there 's nothing to suggest that this punk is lily 's brother . carlos : i told you . my mother hid me away . lily would never put me in danger by -- by telling the truth to anybody , especially you , sonny . everybody knew that you , as lily 's husband , were set to take over my father 's business . sonny : listen to me . for lily 's sake , i need to prove you wrong . we 're gon na keep you some place safe until we find that proof . if you 're lying , i will kill you myself ! get him out of here ! sam : however you and -- and bobbie and lucas want to handle this , just tell me . i 'll do whatever you want . carly : okay . great . thanks . yeah . sam : okay ? well , how did lucas take the news ? carly : that julian jerome is his biological father ? i do n't know , sam . my mom was really upset . i doubt she even called him . [ sighs ] sam : well , carly , did he -- i mean , has he asked about me ? do n't look at me like that . i am his sister . carlos : i 'm his sister . you know what ? thanks for the warning , but you really need to go . sam : are you throwing me out ? carly : i told you i was busy . sam : busy ? [ chuckling ] wait a minute . are you having some sort of a date tonight ? carly : hey , it 's nothing , all right ? i 'm busy . sam : it 's nothing ? you 're dressed up in a black dress and heels , and who -- who 's place is -- oh , no . carly . carly : hmm ? sam : is this franco 's place ? franco : [ grunting ] [ exclaims ] what -- ? [ chuckles ] thanks . [ sighs ] lucy : you know , franco may not be the son that you dreamed about , but he 's the only one you have . come on , pal . logan is gone . you have -- scott : lucy , i lost the case . lucy : what ? scott : the a.j . quartermaine murder trial . it was open and shut , and i blew it . lucy : oh , pal . i 'm -- i am so sorry . scott : okay . well , now you know , so trust me right now . i ca n't really deal with some lunatic that claims to be my son . i have got a career to mourn . lucy : hey , you won that election fair and square . well , you won . the point is they ca n't just recall you just 'cause you had one little , teeny tiny lost case . scott : my political career now has been neutered . that 's it . i lost laura . i 've lost my career . the only thing i have in this life now is ... lucy : is what ? scott : is you . sam : this romantic dinner -- this is for you and franco ? carly : this is none of your business , and if it is dinner for me and franco , so what ? carly : yes , i am . i 'm seeing him . sam : wow . you 're not even denying it . carly : what 's the point ? it 's all gon na come out anyway . so , yes , be the first to know that franco and i -- we 're just gon na see where it goes . sam : after everything he 's done to me ? carly : sam , he was sick . sam : sick ? ! carly : he was n't in control of his actions , and -- and i realize that you might not be able to accept that , okay ? i understand , just like i understand that people may have concerns . sam : yeah . people are gon na have a lot of concerns , and they 're gon na wonder what the hell you 're doing . forget about me . i mean , sonny -- i ca n't even imagine what sonny would think , but what about jason ? carly , what do you think jason would think about this ? carly : jason would think it was a terrible idea . but he would tell me that it 's my decision to make . and he would stand by me regardless . you know that . sam : no . i know that jason loved you and he would not want you dating a psychopath carly : franco 's not a psychopath , okay ? he 's not . sam , he 's changed , and i have seen it for myself . franco is not that man anymore . franco : you really should have stayed away from carly . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ vocalizing softly ] [ cell phone rings ] sonny : michael ? michael : hey , dad . sonny : what happened ? michael : you have n't heard but , um , the verdict came in . sonny : he 's convicted ? michael : no . no , he was n't . um , he was found not guilty . sonny : how ? michael : uh , there must have been reasonable doubt . i mean , diane said all along there was n't enough evidence . sonny : so , a.j . 's free ? michael : yeah , dad . look , i - i know how much you hate this , but a.j . was acquitted . i just really hope you 're not gon na try and take the law into your own hands . sonny : all right , michael . thanks for , uh , letting me know about this . michael : look , i love you , dad . sonny : i love you , too , buddy . [ sighs ] i do n't believe in justice . i -- i 'm not sure i ever did . but i promise you , lily , if this guy who says he 's your brother -- i promise i 'm not gon na kill him unless i know for sure he 's not . julian : i do n't know . the way that sam mentioned lucas -- it did n't sound like she was referring to luke spencer . it sounded as if it was ... family . ava : well , there 's a simple solution . just ask sam who she 's talking about . julian : oh , given the way things ended last night , sam wo n't be providing any answers . you know what ? does n't mean i ca n't find them myself . carly : i do n't need anyone to validate my relationship with franco . sam : ha ! did you -- did you just hear yourself ? you just called it a relationship . carly : i 'm not going to fight with you , sam . we 've been through too much . i accept that you think i 'm wrong . but it 's my decision , and it 's been made . sam : okay . i would say that i - i hope that you are making the right decision , but clearly , clearly , you are not . carly : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] franco : oh . [ sighs ] hey . carly : finally you pick up ! what 's taking you so long ? scott : you should probably get home to your husband , kevin . lucy : i moved out . i 've been sleeping on the couch in my office . scott : oh , yeah ? lucy : oh , yeah . what convinced you of mr. quartermaine 's innocence ? nothing really . most of us thought he was guilty as sin , but there just was n't enough evidence . we did n't have enough to convict a guilty man . franco : yeah , well , the , uh -- the interview -- the interview went really great , you know ? it just took a long time . they kept bumping me up . i talked to , like , two supervisors . carly : that 's great ! well , hurry back , okay ? i have a surprise for you . [ clatters ] carly : what 's that ? franco : um , oh , it 's nothing . a surprise -- that sounds awesome . it 's got to be a good surprise , right ? 'cause why would you tell me about a - a bad surprise ? right ? so , now that i know it 's a good surprise , you mind telling me , uh , just how good it is ?

[ scoffs ] dante and lulu played their parts , too . olivia : and obviously you wasted no time stepping right into the space that lulu left . valerie : i did n't step into anything . dante had to run an errand , and i agreed to help watch rocco . olivia : your presence in this situation is creating a bigger rift between my son and his wife . you obviously do n't want them to reconcile , so -- do you even care that you 're breaking up a family ? dante : ma , what the hell are you doing ? olivia : what the hell are you thinking ? do you not see that she 's trying to take lulu 's place ? [ scene_break ] lulu : johnny is here as my guest . dillon : your guest ? lulu : yeah , he 's my friend . he needs a place to stay . dillon : no , lulu . he needs a place to hide . the guy is a wanted criminal . johnny : oh , he 's pretty and observant . lulu : just stop . johnny : look , of course , lulu knows that i 'm a fugitive , and she agreed to hide me anyway , which technically makes her an accessory . so if you call the cops , it 's not only bad for me , but it 's bad for her , too . not that i would ever let her take the fall . but let 's say you do call the cops , right ? i 'm gon na claim i took lulu hostage . then the two of you are gon na have to lie to corroborate my story , and the whole thing just gets really messy . so why do n't you do us all a favor ? pretend like you never saw me . dillon : maybe i do n't want to be an accessory , too . johnny : ah . lulu : you ca n't be an accessory if the police do n't know what happened . dillon : oh , the police . does that include your husband , the cop ? lulu : yeah , i do n't want dante involved in this . please , dillon . come on . if you ever cared about me , can you just act like johnny was never here ? [ scene_break ] jason : since may . elizabeth : [ breathes shakily ] jason : so that night after the nurses ' ball , the first night that we slept together , you knew you were sleeping with jason . elizabeth : yes , but that is not why i was with you . jason : really ? because you were n't sure about me up until then ? did you want me ? did you want ric ? and suddenly -- suddenly you loved me . you were all in . you wanted a life with me . i felt so grateful . i felt truly lucky ... elizabeth : no . jason : ... that you were willing to take a chance on me when there were so many unknowns , but you knew everything , did n't you ? i was the idiot stumbling around in the dark , and you 're just sitting there watching me . elizabeth : no , i did it because i knew we could be happy . jason : nikolas told you i was jason , did n't he ? elizabeth : it does n't matter . jason : it does n't matter to you ! you trapped me . elizabeth : no . jason : you kept me from my name , my past , my entire damn life . god , that is not true ! nikolas told you i was jason -- yes or no ? elizabeth : yes . jason : so every time you told me i was wrong for accusing him , you were n't just covering his ass . you were covering your own . elizabeth : [ inhales deeply ] at the nurses ' ball , i went up on that stage with every intention of telling the world that you were jason . but i looked out , and i - i - i could see -- i could see patrick with sam and emma and how happy they were with this little , beautiful family they created , i did n't want to do it . i did n't want to be the one to take that away from them . jason : wow . you did n't do this for patrick . you damn sure did n't do it for sam . you did n't do it for me . you kept the truth from me for yourself . [ scene_break ] sam : jason does n't remember our life together . patrick : but you do . and you want him back . that 's why you went to greece . that 's why you need to find out if elizabeth 's been lying this whole time . sam : no , no . she has been lying . patrick : and you feel that you need to prove it ... to show jason that she 's not worthy of him and that you are . sam : no . i -- i wanted ... i wanted jason to know the truth . he deserves to know the truth . it does n't negate my love for you . what do -- patrick : okay , what if you had to choose between jason with his memory and me ? what would you choose ? sam : no . do n't ... do n't do that . that 's not fair . jason does n't remember our life together . patrick : what if he does in a month ? or a year from now , sam ? you would be sorry that you 're married to me when the love of your life is there . sam : [ sighing ] no . patrick : it 's just -- it 's different , sam . he 's the love of your life . and i - i - i just ca n't ... i ca n't sit here praying that he does n't remember , and you ... sam : no . patrick : you 're here praying that he does . it 's not -- it 's not fair . it 's not fair to emma . it 's not fair to danny . it 's not fair to us . sam : this is all happening really fast , and i just -- i -- i just found out [ sniffles , sobs ] less than a month ago that jason is alive and ...

[ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm gon na take off . dante : no , do n't let her chase you away . you -- you are way out of line . there 's nothing wrong with me leaving rocco with valerie . and she 's not trying to take lulu 's place . olivia : well , she already has . she 's in your house , taking care of your son . dante : yeah , my house , taking care of my son , while i go to the store for 10 minutes . olivia : dante , you 've always been like this . you want to be a hero . you want to help everybody . dante : yeah . olivia : no one 's gon na deny that valerie 's been through a tough time . maybe she wants to latch on to something . it ca n't be you . you 've already got a wife . dante : did you miss the part where she walked out ? olivia : and valerie 's trying to take advantage ! valerie : with all due respect , ms. falconeri , you do n't know me well enough to speak to my motives . olivia : [ chuckles ] dante : you know what , valerie ? this is n't even about you . it 's about my mother . about you and sonny , when he cheated on you . olivia : [ scoffs ] dante : he hurt you , so you see me hurting lulu . and you 're projecting your situation onto mine . what -- you go ahead . you want to be pissed off at me , disappointed in me ? that 's fine . do n't take it out on her . olivia : dante , this is about more than valerie 's hurt feelings . valerie : you 're right . it 's about something much bigger .

[ scene_break ] dante : lulu served me with separation papers , ma . there 's no reconciling that . olivia : because she 's hurt . and humiliated . and she 's lashing out . and who could blame her ? she 's also a mother . and if you give her some time , she will make the choice that is right for rocco . unless you keep driving her away by playing house with valerie . valerie : no one 's playing house . olivia : then what would you call it ? hanging out at his house at night , taking care of his sick kid ? now , you said yourself it took all three of them to bust up this marriage . well , it 's only gon na be you and lulu who put it back together . so if you care for my son the way you say you do , you will bow out now before the damage gets any worse . dante : no , no , no , no . that 's not your call to make . our relationship , whatever it turns out to be , is between us . olivia : what about lulu ? what about your relationship with your wife ? dante : look , ma , i do n't want to talk about this anymore with you . olivia : oh , god . dante : and i -- i really think you should leave . olivia : dante , if you continue down this path , you are throwing away your family . and i promise you you will regret it for the rest of your life .

although sam wants patrick to reconsider breaking up with her and give her time to process jason coming back , he tells her he ca n't put himself or emma through this . she then agrees that it 's best they break up . meanwhile , emma has gone on a sleepover but calls to tell her dad and `` future stepmother `` that she needs to come home because she 's sick . before they have a chance to leave to pick her up or to wonder whether patrick should bring sam or not , emma suddenly returns . she is elatedly happy , suspecting nothing and tells them she faked her illness so she could return , celebrate with them and help plan their wedding . at that point , they find themselves having to break emma 's heart by breaking the news to her that they can not get married . she cries hysterically and is devastated . she tells her daddy that she has lost too many people in her life and now she needs her mommy back right away . while robin is still being held prisoner in the mysterious lab , under the direction of jerry jacks , she knows there is urgency to do what is needed in order to get back to her family . when she gets a call from emma , she knows she has to talk to her daughter although she can not return or promise emma she will return , or else jerry will have her killed . yet it appears that something may happen to change that . meanwhile , jason assesses all the lies and betrayal that elizabeth has done to him and many others affected by not telling him who he was and clearly hoping he 'd never find out . she pleads with him that she did not intend for it to happen like that but he is adamantly ready to get her out of his life and gets on his motorcycle to leave her house and be done with her for good . olivia can tell that her son is continuing to see valerie and disregard his marriage . she goes to talk to lulu in an attempt to `` motivate `` her daughter in law to take action although lulu clearly is not ok to find out that dante wo n't stop cheating on her . dillon discovers johnny at the haunted star , knowing he 's an escaped felon , and wants to turn him in until lulu urges him not to . he gets up to leave , ready to return to l.a. lulu concludes , after hearing that valerie continues to be a threat to her marriage , that it may be very appropriate for her to put johnny up to making valerie go away .

[ smooches ] okay ? have a good day , and have a blast with math . emma : okay . what are you gon na do today , mommy ? robin : um ... there 's someone i have to see . see you later , baby . emma : bye . felix : girl , you 've hopped up on a big cross , and now you 're asking for nails . look , i realize that robin 's lived through more trials than job , but is that a reason to sacrifice your happiness and patrick 's ? sabrina : how do you know patrick 's not gon na be happier with robin ? felix : i do n't , but i do know that patrick drake loves you and that he was already happy with you . sabrina : yes . but that was before -- felix : so if things were as clear to patrick as they apparently are to you , he would have already gone back to robin . but he has n't done that . carly : i know what your dream was about . franco : you do ? carly : mm - hmm . franco : how ? carly : 'cause it 's not the first time it 's happened . franco : no . i do n't suppose it is . carly : no . i remember the , um -- the night of the art show when the truth came out about your parents . franco : yes , i remember . carly : and i showed up here and spent the night with you . franco : i remember that , too . carly : well , the next morning , when you woke up , you were really upset , just like you are now . you were terrified that i was gon na come to my senses and run out on you , and i told you then just like i 'm gon na tell you now -- i 'm not running . franco : you sure ? carly : i 'm sure . franco : that 's really nice to hear . but , carly , that 's not what my dream was about . carly : it was n't ? franco : it 's about what i did last night . robert : we 're on the same page . anna : yeah . let 's not talk about faison again . [ footsteps approaching ] anna : i do n't -- duke . robert : something wrong , lavery ? duke : there certainly is . i know what you did . britt : thank you for helping with ben . elizabeth : mm - hmm . britt : hey . nikolas : [ clears throat ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : okay . come on . give it to me . elizabeth : no , no , no , no . it 's ... none of my business . [ chuckles ] nikolas : never stopped you before . come on . i know you are dying to say -- elizabeth : what is that woman still doing in your house ? emma : why are you taking so long to bring me and mommy home ? patrick : because me and mommy have been apart for a little while , so we just need to take a little time to get to know each other a little bit . emma : but ... she 's the same as she was before she went to visit heaven . patrick : yeah . she is . emma : do n't you want to be with me and mommy ? patrick : yes . of course i do . emma : then what are you waiting for ? patrick : it 's very complicated . but it has to do with sabrina . felix : everybody 's got dreams . i do n't know why you think yours are any less worthy than robin 's . and pat -- you both need to realize patrick is his own man . he can make his own decisions about his own life , so let him . [ sighs ] and do n't let robin push you around . she 's not the boss of you . sabrina : neither are you . felix : oh , honey ... if that makes you feel better believing that , be my guest . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] just do n't let robin cajole you into doing something you do n't want to do . carly : you did n't dream about me leaving you ? franco : why ? does that disappoint you ? carly : no . i -- what did you do last night ? franco : i - i do n't think you want to know . carly : we said that we could tell each other anything . franco : well , not anything . carly : come on . talk to me . please . come on . franco : i wa -- i want to . i mean , i -- carly : great . then -- franco : no , really . i really do . carly : then say it . come on . franco : i - i messed up . carly : you messed up how ? franco : i , uh -- well , um , you know , at -- at pcu , the university , right ? carly : yeah . yeah . y - you told me you had a great interview . franco : well , i - i - i lied about that . i did n't want you to be disappointed in me . carly : [ sighs ] okay . the lie is the disappointment . franco : yeah , i can -- i can -- sorry . it 's just that , you know , i do n't even know why they called me down there . i - i do n't know whether it was to , you know , sit face to face with a murderer or with a failed artist , but either way , i 'm pretty sure that i 'm not gon na be teaching those bourgie brats surrealism anytime soon . carly : hey . the tumor was the killer , not you . robert : do you mind speaking plainly ? duke : certainly . anna told me everything . there are no more secrets . robert : regarding ? duke : julian jerome and the fact that you helped to fake his death . thanks to you and the wsb , you managed to whisk him out of port charles before he could be punished for what he and his family did to me , to anna , to my family . anna : i explained to you that robert was under orders . robert : it 's okay . it 's okay . i do n't need defending here . let lavery take his best shot . for 20 years , i kept jerome under control and out of port charles and away from interfering with people . i did everything i could . duke : everything ? ! you could have told anna . robert : she though jerome had killed you . she would have gone off seeking revenge and made herself cannon fodder for the wsb . duke : oh , so , you did this to protect anna ? robert : i made a judgment call . duke : a poor one . this secret did nobody any good . secrets rarely do . kevin : come on , scott . open up . it 's important . lucy : he knows . he knows about us . kevin : i 'd rather not discuss my wife through the door . lucy : did you hear that ? the territorial way he said the word `` wife `` ? he knows . i 'm telling you , he knows . scott : all right , then . come on . it 's time to -- lucy : shh ! shh , shh , shh . scott : let 's go face the music . lucy : are you out of your mind ? i do not want kevin to see me like this . no . scott : like what ? but you said he already knows . [ knocking continues ] kevin : scott , i 'm not leaving until we speak . scott : lucy , you 're -- you 're the one that said he does n't care about your marriage . so why should you ? lucy : because i care about doc . i care about him . i ca n't let him see this . i got -- i got to tell him in a different way . i - i - i got to make it kind of dignified and with class to let him know . just -- just -- just ... get rid of him . scott : [ sighs ] [ groans ] i was sleeping . i had court and , you know , tired . kevin : sorry i interrupted your beauty rest . i 'm looking for lucy . scott : i have n't seen her . why ? kevin : because she told me our marriage was over . that 's why . scott : well , that 's a tough break . i 'm sorry . i 'm gon na go back to bed . kevin : but ... i 'm gon na save it . elizabeth : it 's one thing to let britt stay here when she was pregnant and homeless , but baby 's here . maniac parents are gone . it 's time to send her packing . nikolas : well , since it 's my house , she 's free to stay here if she wants . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] [ chuckles ] nikolas , come on . you 're such a good person , and she 's -- she 's not . you really want spencer hanging around someone like britt after everything she 's done to emma ? emma : did sabrina do something wrong ? patrick : no . sabrina did n't do anything wrong . emma : then what 's the problem ? patrick : you know how me , you , and sabrina , we talked about being a family , right , because we love each other and we care about each other so much ? well , if we became a family , then mommy would be really upset and hurt . but if me , you , and mommy just went back to the way things were , then sabrina would be really upset and hurt , and i do n't -- i do n't want to hurt either one of them . does that make sense ? do you understand that ? emma : not really . patrick : not really . okay . let me try and figure something else out . [ sighs ] all right . what about the time your friend megan invited you for a playdate but she did n't invite jenny ? emma : but , daddy , megan said she was sorry , and the next time she had a playdate , she asked me and jenny . so why ca n't we be a family with sabrina and mommy , too ? robin : listen , uh , i 'm really sorry to track you down at work . i just want to make sure that we clear things up . sabrina : clear what up ? robin : well , last night , i thought we had an understanding that you were going to break things off with patrick . sabrina : yes . that 's how we left things . robin : oh . okay . i 'm sorry . so , you just have n't had an opportunity to talk with him yet . sabrina : no . i have n't . robin : okay , well , i know that patrick is at the metro court , and your friend felix can cover for you . i can tell epiphany where you 've gone , and we can take care of this today . sabrina : i ca n't do that . i wo n't . carly : forget pcu . i mean , you do n't want to be a stodgy professor . franco : oh , i was not gon na be a stodgy professor at all . i was gon na rock blue jeans in the lecture hall with , like , a -- you know , a corduroy jacket with -- with patches on the elbows -- you know , patches in , like , an ironic sense . carly : i 'm being serious . franco : okay . if you 're gon na be serious , then we can not have this conversation , carly , because if i 'm serious right now , then i 'd have to admit that i 'm really not ready to teach in the ivory tower of academia or have any other job , apparently . carly : you can get another job . franco : [ sighs ] barista ? carly : you could work for me . franco : bellboy ? carly : well , i 'm thinking guest relations might not be the best fit . maybe something behind the scenes ? franco : [ chuckles ] okay . what ? laundry ? carly : no . something that actually uses your talent , you know ? hey , look , the lobby could use a makeover . we could design it together . i could commission a couple of your pieces . franco : you know , carly , it what not long ago that you shared your concise and yet thorough assessment of my art . i believe your exact words were `` it sucks . `` carly : okay . yeah . i - i did say that . i did . but if it makes you feel any better , i like your art better than i like your mother 's . elizabeth : you know britt badgered and bullied emma until she ran away . nikolas : i - i know that britt has done some bad things , okay ? and , yes , she has her share of faults , but she 's more than that . i - i 've gotten to know her beyond her bad reputation , and let me tell you something -- i 'm glad i have . i ca n't just write her off because my very good friend does n't approve of her . you 've done a lot of things you regret , some with me , might i remind you . and you changed . so has britt . elizabeth : you really think so ? nikolas : i would n't say it if i did n't mean it . elizabeth : okay . so , you want her to live here in your house ... as , what ? a tenant ? a roommate ? a project ? are you guys a - a couple ? nikolas : oh , you know what ? if you insist on putting a - a label on things , then ... okay . yes . we 're a couple . kevin : the thing is , it 's all my fault . i 've taken lucy for granted . i put our marriage on the back burner . i devoted all my time to my practice . scott : all your time , huh ? kevin : she 's been trying to get my attention for months , and i just have n't been available . scott : well , maybe you guys have ... come to the end of the road . kevin : what ? ! no . it 's -- it 's not over for us . scott : well , it might be . you might have to accept it and move on . kevin : i will not accept that , scott . i love my wife . she is the most beautiful , open - hearted , benevolent person i have ever known . person -- she 's a force of nature . and she saves my life every day i spend with her . scott : okay . kevin : somehow , i lost track of that , but ... not anymore . i know what lucy means to me , and that 's everything . scott : well , listen , thanks for coming by . and i will do my best to -- kevin : li - listen . i know this is strange for me to ask , but will you ... help me out here ? i - i 've been trying to call her . she wo n't answer my calls . i 'm looking , and i ca n't find her anywhere , so please just -- would you tell her that i 'm looking for her ? scott : will do . kevin : and ... tell her i love her . scott : okay . robert : i 'm not going to apologize to you for how i handled the jerome business . duke : oh , so you have no regrets ? you have no remorse ? robert : not one . i had it under control right up until obrecht stuck me with that needle . do you think that jerome would have had the guts to come back to port charles if i had n't been in a coma ? ! duke : you could have had a contingency plan . that way , he would have been stopped . robert : i did what i could , and besides , i do n't recall you being around to help out . duke : i was in prison , thanks to julian and faison . robert : no . thanks to yourself . anna : oh , come on , robert . robert : hey , look , man . take a bit of responsibility here . you 're a known associate of jerome 's . you chose to be part of that organization . anna : duke stepped away from that kind of life a long time ago . robert : did he ? anna : yeah . and he 's gon na distance himself from it , and i 'm gon na handle jerome . sonny : and after what jerome did to me , to you , to anna , and who knows who else , he has to be stopped . duke : i agree . sonny : together , we can neutralize him . duke : i do n't know what to say . sonny : oh , you do n't have to say anything now . i mean , just think about it and then come back to me . if that fair enough ? anna : is n't that right ? robin : wait . so , you 're not gon na break things off with patrick ? sabrina : robin , i 've had some time to think about our conversation , and i wish i could do what you want . robin : well , you could do it last night . sabrina : look , i know that patrick loves you . and i know that you love him . and after everything that you 've been through , the last thing i want to do is cause you any more pain . robin : well , then please do n't . sabrina : but the thing is patrick loves me , too . and my stepping aside is n't gon na make him love me any less . robin : so ... what ? you think i 'm the one that should step aside ? sabrina : no . that 's not what i 'm saying , not at all . i 'm saying whatever happens next ca n't be up to you and it ca n't be up to me . it has to be up to patrick . patrick : making our family even bigger with sabrina and mommy is a really nice idea , but it just does n't work that way . emma : why not ? patrick : [ sighs ] okay . you know in your fantasy books , right , the prince -- he ca n't have two princesses . he only -- he can only have one ? emma : so you can only be with mommy or sabrina ? patrick : yeah . a little bit more like that . but you know what 's never gon na change ? [ smacks lips ] me and you . we 're always gon na be together . emma : together with who , daddy ? are you gon na be with sabrina or mommy ? elizabeth : i know you do n't want to hear this , but i 'm gon na tell you anyway . you are making a big mistake . britt is going to hurt you . nikolas : you know , people used to say that about you . elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : and those people were wrong , too . elizabeth : as much as i hate to admit it , maybe britt and i are n't all that different . nikolas : what -- what ? i 'm sorry . could you repeat that ? 'cause i did n't -- i did n't quite get all of that . elizabeth : no . but maybe that 's why my instincts about her are so strong . nikolas , i do n't think she 's ready to change . nikolas : okay . i - if you heard that , i apologize . britt : the only thing that mattered to me was you telling elizabeth that we were together . unless , you were just defending me to get her off your back . nikolas : no . no , no . that 's definitely not the reason . i defended you because i think you 're worth defending . scott : so ? lucy : yeah . so ... scott : what do you say we go get some grub ? lucy : grub ? this is n't really time for grub . di - did you not hear what kevin said ? he wants to save our marriage , so i 've got to go out there and find him and confess . i - i have to tell kevin that [ sighs ] we slept together . kevin : listen , um , the reason i 'm calling is , uh ... frankly , i 'm looking to lighten my load , and i was wondering if i could convince you to take on some of my -- franco : he 'll call you back . kevin : excuse me ! franco : no worries . you 're excused . i need your help . carly : it 's carly . i need your help . sabrina : it 's better this way . whoever patrick ends up with , it needs to be his choice . robin : the thing is , sabrina , i know that , deep down , patrick wants to be with me . this is only going to end badly for you . sabrina : i guess we 'll see . robin : sabrina , please . rethink your decision . i know you might not believe this , but i do n't want to see you get hurt , either . but it 's inevitable . and the longer you deny it , the worse it 's going to be for you . duke : julian jerome is a matter best left to the police . well , i 'm sure the pcpd can give him their full attention now that , uh , jerry jacks and obrecht and faison have all been dealt with . anna : that 's the plan . duke : so , i assume , uh , faison is safely back in steinmauer now . robert : oh , trust me -- you ai n't never gon na hear from him again . patrick : i do n't know how things are gon na turn out yet . emma : do you think you 'll know by christmas ? santa wo n't know where to come until we put our stockings up . patrick : oh , do n't you worry about that , okay ? santa will find you wherever you are . and everything between me and mommy and sabrina will be figured out by then . i promise . emma : pinkie promise ? patrick : pinkie promise .

[ chuckles ] fluke : a fantastic plan . brilliantly executed . helena : well , i 'm glad you 're pleased . fluke : i am . now everyone believes that i am the real luke spencer -- spencer 's family , the quartermaines ... even the police . anna : so we 're just assuming that faison 's masked accomplice , he escaped with him . nathan : what are we doing to track him ? anna : dante 's down canvassing the waterfront right now . i 'm gon na meet up with him . i 'll let you know of any new developments , all right ? that is , if you promise to concentrate on getting better . nathan : yes , ma'am . anna : i 'm sorry . who ? nathan : i will concentrate on my recovery , anna . anna : yeah . see ? i like that a little better . all right . you take care of him , elizabeth , yeah ? elizabeth : okay . jake and i saw that cell phone footage of faison 's escape . nathan : yeah . with the gunman holding sam hostage , there was n't anything we could do . elizabeth : i know . jake said that gunman could 've easily gotten same killed . jason : you know , um ... i 'm gon na let you get to work here . sam : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . hey , hey . you can -- you can hang here with me if you want . unless -- [ chuckles ] unless you 're afraid you 're gon na incriminate yourself . jason : are you implying that that 's illegal ? sam : i am trying to say that this is hacked material , and , yeah , viewing it would put you on the wrong side of the law . jason : hmm . delia : kiki , that 's your baby sister . and , morgan , that could be your kid . so have a heart and give ava a break , okay ? kiki : okay , yeah . you 're right . morgan : all right , yeah . let 's do this . what time is the person supposed to meet you with info about the baby ? silas : actually , i 'm a little worried about that . whoever this person is , they should 've been here by now . [ door opens ] excuse me , ma'am . are you here to meet someone ? about franco ? betsy : are you silas clay ? silas : yes , i am . and you are ? betsy : i 'm betsy frank , franco 's mother . franco : look , i 'm not this franco person that you think that i am . i mean , look at me . do i even look remotely italian ? zoe : oh , please . franco is a nickname . his -- your real name is robert frank . and i 'm a huge fan . i 'm zoë , by the way . zoe mitchell . franco : hi , zoë . nice to meet you . i 'm anyone in the world except for franco . i 'm -- i 'm not frank robert or whoever it is that you want me to be , okay ? i do n't even know how to have this conversation . zoe : i recognize you , franco , because i went to your show at moca . after `` francophrenia , `` i lost track of you . what have you been up to ? something creative , i hope . franco : well , i ... zoe : well , i suppose starting a family is as creative as you can get . i love babies . can i have a closer look at your latest work of art ? sonny : you got to tell michael you ended things and you do n't want to see me again . carly : you want me to tell michael another lie ? sonny : whatever it takes . tell him you made a huge mistake in throwing in with me again , you do n't know why you did it -- carly : i did n't make a mistake . i did n't make a mistake . i made a decision . sonny : whoa . carly : i did n't want michael to lose you , too . so i kept what you did a secret , and i would do it all over again , sonny . sonny : carly , i ca n't tell you how much ... it means to me that you allowed me to spend all that time with michael . i 'm not talking about this past year . i 'm talking about the whole time . carly : why are you talking like it 's over ? sonny : because the most important thing right now is for you to save your relationship with michael . so you 've got to do whatever you need to do . he 's hurt so much , and you 've hurt , too , because of me . carly : no , sonny ! because of franco . franco is the one who told michael what you did . sonny : i kept pushing franco ! and , you know , every chance i got , i kept pushing him . yes , if i did n't do that , then you would 've married the psycho , but that 's not the point . carly : it 's a silver lining . sonny : it does n't change the fact ... that i killed a.j . , and you kept that secret . we got to take responsibility , because if you do n't ... you 're gon na lose your son . carly : but what about us ? i love you . i love you , and -- and i know you love me . what about that ? carly : okay . it 's very noble of you to try and help me get michael back . sonny , we love each other . sonny : yeah , we do , but i ... what does that mean ? i got nothing to offer you . i ca n't -- you know , i do n't want you tied to me . carly : i do n't care what you want . i love you . and if you think i 'm gon na turn my back on you when you need me the most , you are out of your damn mind . sonny : i 'm in here for life . and you know what that means ? that means that we ca n't have one together . carly : do n't say that , okay ? sonny : so , the truth is , you need to let me go ... find somebody else ... carly : you are an idiot , or you 're blind or stupid like i was . do n't you get it , sonny ? i do n't want anyone but you . fluke : yes , the whole thing was a thing of beauty ... except ... helena : do i detect a note of criticism ? fluke : faison 's escape from pcpd was n't exactly discreet . helena : well , i wanted something public , eye - catching . alexis : the better to convince everyone that faison was the imposter . and now the imposter 's gone . fluke : so you 're saying that whole floor show with the hostage , that was intentional ? helena : well , i gave my operative his objective and left the details to him . oh , he performed as expected . oh , it was even better than i wanted . although , obrecht -- she threw a fit because her son was shot . fluke : precisely my point . obrecht 's son was not some innocent bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time . he 's a cop . nathan : i should not be in a hospital bed . i need to be out there , looking for this gunman and my sister . elizabeth : did n't i just hear you promise the commissioner you were gon na focus on getting better ? nathan : i feel fine , though . you could look the other way , and then i could slip out the back . elizabeth : you know , your mother is the chief of staff . she does n't like me very much . if i let you wander off , she 's probably gon na fire me , so for the sake of my career , i need you to stay put . [ knock on door ] elizabeth : oh , someone has a secret admirer . [ elevator bell dings ] dante : commissioner . anna : hey . was just on my way to meet you . did you get anything out of that hooper , the charter captain , about where faison might have gone ? dante : no , but i might have information on where ava jerome 's baby is . delia : franco 's mother ? ava : mother ! delia : i thought heather webber spawned that freak . betsy : she may have given birth to him , but i raised franco . he 's my son , and i 'll have you know he was a good boy . silas : of course he was . and we thank you for coming , ms . frank . we understand you might have some information about where your son is now ? betsy : maybe i do , and maybe i do n't . why should i tell you ? ava : it 's very important that we find him . franco has taken a baby that does n't belong to him . betsy : oh , no . not again . kiki : `` not again `` ? what do you mean ? betsy : several years ago , bobby took an infant belonging to a nurse in port charles . i think bobby was just trying to make up for what that hideous ava jerome did to him . bobby had a child with her -- a baby girl named lauren . and ava refused to allow him to be a father to their daughter . she robbed him of his own child . franco : baby 's sleeping 'cause -- well , all that fresh air , you know ? totally tuckered out . [ baby crying ] franco : you saw us . zoe : sounds like someone woke up . nina : yeah , someone woke up . they woke up because certain someones are talking . zoe : oh , look at her . she 's spectacular . and you must be mrs. franco . nina : [ chuckles ] uh , n - no . yeah ! um , i am . zoe : lucky you . nina : lucky me . zoe : ha . you know what ? it 's funny . this little angel does n't look either one of you . carly : you are the only man i want . sonny : you 've thought that before , and you 've gotten over it . carly : i 'm serious , sonny . sonny : that 's what makes you so great -- 'cause you love with your whole heart . i knew that you and franco were n't gon na make it 'cause i knew that if you really loved him , there 's no way i could pull you away . carly : and thank god you did . i ca n't believe i wasted time with him . i ca n't believe that we spent years apart when we should 've been together , sonny . sonny : i think we needed those years to find our way back to us , and we screwed that up . carly : i turned my back on you when i was going to marry franco . i 'm never gon na make that mistake again -- not now , not ever . i love you too much for that . sonny : what about next year ? and the year after that ? in 10 years from now , what 're you gon na do ? you gon na come visit me once a week ? carly : yeah , i am , 'cause if that 's all i get , i will take it . sonny : you 're still young , you 're beautiful . i do n't want you to spend the rest of your life alone . carly : i wo n't be alone , sonny . i will have you . i mean , hell , most women would jump at the chance to be in a relationship with a man they only had to see once a week . sonny : why would i want you waiting for me , growing old ? that 's not gon na make the situation better . you got to make this easy for me . carly : how am i supposed to do that ? what do you want me to do ? do you want me just to forget about you ? because that 's not gon na happen . so , what ? am i just supposed to pretend that you 're dead ? sonny : whatever works . carly : that 's really what you want me to do ? you really want me to turn my back on you ? sonny : yes . nina : listen , if you saw pictures of my hu -- husband when he was younger , you would think it was the same baby . it 's crazy . franco : i know it 's been a long time , but i still love to hear you say that word -- `` husband . `` no , i mean , it 's our baby . the little missus would never step out on me . nina : uh , yes , i 'd ... never do that . so , anyway , i need to get -- i need to get her -- zoe : oh , of course , mrs. franco . thank you so much for letting me see her . nina : you 're welcome . zoe : it was such an honor to meet you . i ca n't wait to tell all my friends . franco : oh , actually , um , i would appreciate it if you not mentioned that you saw me to anyone . i mean , we 're trying to -- we 're trying to keep the little one out of the public eye . i 'm sure you understand . zoe : anything you need , franco . my lips are sealed . nina : we 're in trouble . silas : i guess franco -- bobby -- never got a chance to tell you that it turns out he -- he was n't lauren jerome 's father after all . betsy : but if bobby was n't lauren 's father , who was ? silas : actually , i am . betsy : you ? silas : i 'm sorry to blindside you with all this information . betsy : why did she do it ? why did that harpy torment my son for all those years ? that 's cruel , plain and simple . ava : could we please concentrate on -- on finding the baby that franco has currently stolen ? betsy : who are you ? ava : i 'm that baby 's mother . sh -- she 's mine , and i 've never even held her . ma'am , we do n't want to get franco into any trouble . we do n't want to involve the police . we just want the baby . so if you know where she is or where she might be , please ... please tell us . i 'm sure , as a mother , you can understand what i 'm going through . betsy : i do , honey . i do . and i can help . delia : did you hear that , ava ? she says she can help . betsy : wait a minute . you 're ava ? dante : hooper ferried franco , nina , and the baby somewhere , but he 's not telling me where . anna : oh , really ? because why ? let me guess -- he wants immunity . dante : yeah , he wants baldwin to sign off on something , but do you think he 's going to ? this is his son we 're talking about going after . anna : yeah , but whatever affection scott might have for franco is more than outweighed by his own self - interest . dante : right . franco makes him look bad . anna : exactly . what better way to disassociate yourself from your son who 's a psychotic kidnapper than by being a key player in the rescue ? dante : can you convince him of that ? anna : yeah . scott may be a weasel , but he 's not a fool . if he can bask in the glory of bringing the baby home , i 'm sure he 'll want to . nathan : maxie , we talked about this . you 're not supposed to be here . maxie : um , i have every right to be here . i 'm on the volunteer schedule for today . and these flowers were just begging to be delivered to the patient 's room . let 's see who they 're from . nathan : you do know that opening somebody 's mail is a felony , right ? maxie : do you see a stamp on this ? i do n't . okay , `` dear , nathan . i 'm sorry this happened to you . i love you . get well soon . much love , britt . `` nathan : they 're from my sister ? i 'm surprised she has n't stopped in . maxie : well , i , for one , am glad britt only sent flowers , because that gave me a legit reason to come see you and ask you how you 're doing . you look kind of pale . nathan : thank you . look , i love seeing you , but ... maxie : judge walters can not possibly object , okay ? i am on the volunteer schedule for today . nathan : and he 's gon na find out that you just started today . maxie : i did not . i 've been volunteering here for at least 10 years . ask elizabeth . elizabeth : oh , yeah . with a slight gap in the middle . maxie : it 's fine . i was scared for you last night , okay ? i had to come by and see if you were okay . nathan : yeah , but what if the judge finds out we 're together ? helena : my operative has assured me that it was not a kill shot . fluke : really ? and this operative of yours , you 're sure he is n't just covering his ass ? that he did n't try to kill the cop and miss ? helena : no . he does not miss . he knew the last thing we needed was a manhunt for a cop killer . fluke : you are giving a whole lot of credit to this slab of muscle . helena : of course i am . he created just the right amount of mayhem to get the job done . oh . he is a total professional . jason : let 's see what you got . sam : aah ! no ! [ muffled shouting ] sam : there he is . that 's our guy . helena : i did n't get to see my man in action , but i enjoyed watching that footage . one man against an entire police department . fluke : this particular police department , it must be said , is not exactly formidable . helena : well , anna devane is an experienced detective , yet my man had her force effectively neutralized . oh , he used the hostage to the maximum advantage . he had her positioned in front of that transport van before the entire police force could draw their weapons . oh , admit it -- he was spectacular ! fluke : you 're clearly quite taken with this specimen . helena : indeed , i am . fluke : tell me -- who is soldier boy ? jason : you okay ? sam : yeah . i 'm just ... you know , kind of reliving it all over again . jason : must be tough . sam : try ... disappointing , you know ? this footage is no different than the cell phone footage from the news . we -- we 've got a guy who 's approximately 6 feet ... muscular build . that 's like half the men on the planet . jason : hey . it could even be me . sam : oh . jason : mm . sam : so , where were you that night ? you got an alibi ? elizabeth : when 's your custody hearing ? maxie : tomorrow . nathan : which is exactly why you should n't be taking risks like this today . maxie : serving my community ? nathan : maxie , you 're risking too much . in 24 hours , this is all gon na be over . maxie : yeah , and i will have my little girl . nathan : which is gon na be great . maxie : it 's gon na be better than great , 'cause not only am i gon na have georgie , but i 'm gon na have you , too . elizabeth : okay . get a room . i 'm leaving . [ door opens , closes ] maxie : you 're right , though . i should go . nathan : wo n't mind being wrong for another five minutes . maxie : i was so worried about you , i just -- i had to make sure you were okay . by doing so , you sped up my recovery exponentially . anna : yes ! baldwin made the deal . dante : and ? anna : well , so , hooper 's talking . and baldwin 's gon na text you with the location of nina and franco . nina : that zoë girl , she knows who you are . franco : yeah , she said she 'd keep her mouth shut , okay ? and she thinks that you 're my wife and that little jaime summers is our baby , and , you know , she has no idea that we 're on the run . nina : yeah , but one click on the internet and -- and she 'll find out we 're kidnappers . franco : no , it 's been a cycle of news now . it 's probably finished . we were n't even on canadian tv . nina : but we 're all over the media in port charles , and that 's how the internet works , right ? you can find out anything at anytime , right ? franco : well , not necessarily . you need to know where to look . nina : admit it -- if that girl googles you , we 're dead . we have to get out of here . betsy : this woman ruined my son 's life . ava : oh , i did not ruin franco 's life . he was twisted long before i ever became involved with him . betsy : look at you . you 're not even sorry . and that 's why i will not help you . morgan : ms. frank , ms . frank , wait . please ? listen , i - i completely understand if you do n't want to do that for her . but will you do it for me ? betsy : and who are you ? morgan : i 'm the baby 's father . sonny : i mean it , carly -- walk away from me . put all this behind you and get michael back . carly : and we 'll get michael back . and i will make sure that he understands what we did , and i will make sure there is peace between the two of you if it 's the last thing i do , sonny . sonny : you 're not listening , carly . i 'm no longer an option -- for michael or for you . carly : i get to choose my own options , sonny . sonny : you need to find someone else who 's gon na be good to you , who 's gon na love you as much as i do , make you as happy as i do , and , you know , treat you great and the whole thing . carly : that 's crap , and you know it . sonny : that 's what you need . carly : no ! after months of you telling me that we belonged together , that nothing can keep us apart , that we would always find our way back to each other , you now want to hand me over to some hypothetical man who 's better for me ? forget it ! it 's not gon na happen . i am not letting you go . sonny : you do n't have a choice . carly : the hell i do n't . i will keep coming up here , and i will see you . sonny : but i do n't have to see you , and i wo n't . carly : what are you talking about ? sonny : if you set foot in here again , i 'm gon na decline the visit . carly : you would n't do that . sonny : the only freedom i have in here is to choose who i will see and who i wo n't . and i 'm not gon na see you . sonny : carly , look at me . tell me you understand . you 're not gon na come back . carly : are you telling me that i am never gon na see you again ? sonny : you got to do this . got to do this for me , for ... for michael , so ... you got to get -- get out of here ... spend the rest of your life , you know , doing what you need to do . carly : i ca n't do that , sonny . sonny : do you love me ? carly : you know i do . sonny : then i know that you can do this . i love you . you know that . and i always will . do n't look back . just go , okay ? carly : look , sonny , listen to me -- sonny : go . go . betsy : you 're the father ? you ? morgan : yes . betsy : you are shameless . morgan : ms. frank , ms . frank , please , okay ? listen -- i need you to listen to me . you do n't have to trust ava . i get that . i do n't trust her , either . okay ? i 'm not gon na let her anywhere near the baby . but that is -- that 's my daughter . that 's -- that 's my little girl that 's out there , and ava may have not held her , but i have n't even seen her . okay ? it 's -- it 's -- do you remember how bobby felt when he thought that lauren jerome was his -- his kid ? betsy : i watched him splinter into a million pieces and put himself together again , sharp and wrong . morgan : right , because his heart was broken , correct ? okay . now -- now mine 's broken . so , please , do not make me go through this . i 'm asking you , from the bottom of my heart , please help me find my baby . betsy : all right . for you , i will . morgan : thank you . dante : this is it . anna : yeah ? dante : yeah , okay . got it . this is the location where hooper took franco and nina and the baby . anna : okay . well , if we can trust hooper ... dante : well , if he 's lying , his immunity deal goes out the window , and this is the only lead we have . anna : yeah . and it better work out . dante : yeah . anna : okay . i 'll get you canadian backup , 'cause we know nina and franco to be dangerous . nina : franco , we got to go . come on . move . move . franco : nina , i do n't think we should go anywhere . nina : we have a car , we have gas . what we do n't have is time . franco : or a plan . we do n't have a plan . and i do n't think there 's anywhere for us to go that 's better than here . and if we run , then we run the risk of getting nabbed . nina : yeah , but if we stay here , we risk your art groupie going on the internet . and -- and even if she does n't do that , which is doubtful , she 's still gon na brag to her friends . franco : she did say that she was n't gon na do that . nina : but you ca n't take her word for it . you ca n't . you ca n't . we have to keep our family safe . we have to keep our daughter safe . franco : `` we have to keep our daughter ... safe . `` nina : yeah , our daughter . and -- and listen , if your new friend talks to her friends about seeing you , our family is in danger . franco : okay , i 'll get rid of her . nina : what do you mean , `` get ... `` `` get rid of her `` ? franco : i 'll get rid of her . that 's what i ... would n't be the first person i `` got rid of . `` nina : but you 're a daddy , and ... and we 're parents , and we have to set a good example for our daughter ... franco : i am a stellar role model . nina : ... and not murder . franco : jaime 's too young to remember any of this . she does n't even know what 's happening . nina : would you really do this to protect our family ? franco : yeah . sure . nina : wow . franco : s - so you want me to do it ? sam : where were you yesterday afternoon ? jason : uh , doing the same thing i 'm doing today -- job hunting . sam : okay . well , do you have a list of the employers you were looking for ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : [ sighs ] i 'm done . jason : yeah ? sonny : yeah . jason : good work . sonny : for a guy in a wheelchair . jason : no , man , for anybody . sonny : [ sighs ] jason : any change in that condition ? sonny : not yet . jason : sorry to hear that . sonny : so am i . but if you had n't stepped in , i 'd be dead . so i try not to complain much . jason : boxing help ? sonny : sometimes , yeah . i mean , surprisingly , i just hit the bag , and i work on my combinations . and it just makes everything go away . jason : that sounds amazing . [ sighs ] sonny : it 's all yours . jason : thanks . sonny : you want to tape up ? jason : no , i 'm good . sonny : [ chuckles ] is there a reason you want to wreck your hands ? jason : why should my hands get a break ? everything else is wrecked . if you got to know ... [ sighs ] elizabeth knew i was jason . [ sighs ] she lied . she knew for months . [ scene_break ] nikolas : start over from the beginning and tell me what happened . elizabeth : exactly what your mother predicted -- sam came over accusing me . i fought back . it got nasty . and then , jason walked in . and of course , he took my side , and he told sam to quit coming between us and then -- and that he was n't gon na go back to her . and then , he basically just kicked her out of the house . but when i came back downstairs after putting the boys to bed , he was gone . he went to sam . he went to her , and somehow she convinced him that i was lying . and so , when he came home , he asked me how long i knew who he was . and i panicked . i panicked . nikolas : okay . elizabeth : i tried -- i told him -- i told him how much i loved him and that sam was just -- she just did n't want us to be happy , but he locked in , and he kept -- he was asking and asking . and ... i could n't lie anymore . i con -- i confessed . nikolas : i 'm ... sorry ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : i should have listened to you . i know i should have listened to you . you warned me all the way back in the nurse 's ball . you told me that keeping a secret like this about jason was gon na cost me , and ... you were right . it cost me everything . [ scene_break ] curtis : i ca n't just prove that that bullet came from shawn 's gun without shawn 's gun . hayden : okay , so , get the gun . it 's not like we do n't know where it is . curtis : we do . it 's in the pcpd evidence locker , a much riskier place to access than a garage . hayden : so , what are you telling me ? curtis : i 'm telling you that i got friends in high places , low places , and all over . i also have ... my ways and a boatload of this here charm . but there are some financial considerations . hayden : how much is this going to cost me ? curtis : plenty . [ scene_break ] carly : what the hell ? kiki : i 'm so sorry about the dishes . carly : i 'm not worried about the dishes . morgan : are you okay ? what did she do to you ? ava : what ? oh , for god 's sake , i did n't do anything to her . kiki : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . again , i 'm so sorry about the dishes . carly : blindsiding your daughter at her new job is n't the best way to build bridges . ava : you know what ? i really do n't appreciate your little tag team . so , if you do n't mind , just give me a moment alone to speak with my daughter . carly : this is my restaurant . you 're harassing my employee . leave immediately , or i will have security throw you out . ava : i wonder what family court will have to say about that . carly : i 'm willing to take my chances . are you ? kiki : you know what ? the sooner i get this over with , the sooner she 'll leave . it 'll be five minutes tops . if ... that 's okay with you ? carly : come on , morgan . we do n't need to be in the middle of this . kiki : why are you torturing me ? ava : kiki . the last thing i want to do is cause you pain , but this -- this -- kiki : okay . you know , when you say the word `` but , `` it negates everything that came before that . so what you 're actually saying is that you do n't mind causing me more pain . what do you want ? ava : what i want ... is for this arctic chill between us to end . it has gone on long enough . i miss you . just , please , give me a chance to fix this so i can be your mom again . kiki : that will never happen . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm sorry , nikolas . this was my fault . nikolas : no . no , it 's not -- not even close . elizabeth : yeah , well , you cared enough about me to tell me the truth . and you tried to save me from investing in a future with jason when he really belonged to sam . but i thought it was best to lie -- [ scoffs ] lie to him , lie to everyone ... convince myself that the lies would n't matter if we could just be happy . and now i 've driven him away . and my boys do n't have a dad . and i 'm dragging you down with me , because jason is furious with you . nikolas : elizabeth , he 's been furious at me for months . it has nothing to do with you . elizabeth : yeah , but before he only suspected that you covered up who he was . and now he knows . he knows , nikolas . i not only wrecked my life . i wrecked yours , too . [ scene_break ] sam : emma was devastated when patrick and i told her that we were n't getting married . alexis : oh , i am sorry . that 's awful . sam : i know . i know , mom . and this has happened to her twice . you know , first with patrick and robin and patrick left sabrina and now me with jason -- not that i 'm leaving patrick for jason , but i 'm -- it 's close enough . alexis : do you want me to talk to patrick ? maybe i could explain . sam : no , there 's -- there 's nothing to explain . we talked it through from every angle , and we agreed that we ca n't be together . julian : this is absurd . i mean , what elizabeth did or did not tell jason , i mean , it has nothing to do with your future with patrick . sam : actually ... it does . [ scene_break ] jason : sam 's the one that figured it out . she overheard something that jake said to danny . she put two and two together . she laid it out for me . i confronted liz , and , of course , she lied . she ducked . she dodged . but the longer it went on , the more apparent it was that she was definitely lying . she finally admitted that , uh , she 's known who i 've been since may . sonny : [ scoffs ] no wonder you wanted to hit something . jason : carly knew it . she was right . [ sighs ] she knew that , uh , elizabeth was manipulating me . she just did n't know how much . sonny : carly has real good instincts , especially when it comes to you . jason : anyway [ sighs ] i did n't really know what to do , so i , uh , just jumped on the bike and rode all night . trying to drown out the world . you know what i mean ? but i kept seeing these faces -- carly , michael ... especially sam . man , they all thought i was dead . and elizabeth just let them continue grieving . she would have let danny grow up not knowing that he was my son . that 's the woman i was about to marry . that 's the woman i was in love with . [ scene_break ] ava : you -- you break my heart . kiki : well ... look at the bright side -- at least i did n't screw your boyfriend . you know , it seems to me that you 've been able to forgive morgan . yes , because the number that you did on him was just as bad , if not worse , than what you did to me . ava : i apologized to morgan for what i 've done . you are my daughter . kiki : so ? when you brought me into this world , you became responsible for taking care of me , for protecting me from anything and anyone that could hurt me ... from people like you . now , if you 'll excuse me , i need to get back to work . ava : i just -- kiki : [ sighs ] ava : i just need to be sure that you 're all right . kiki : i 'm fine . and i 'm no longer your problem . [ sighs ] carly : okay , time 's up . get out of my restaurant and do n't come back . ava : you know what , carly ? i think -- i think maybe if you want sonny to have a chance to see avery anytime soon , you 'll not only let me stay , you 'll volunteer to take my order . morgan : you know what ? you heard my mom , ava . get out . [ scene_break ] sam : patrick 's right . if we stayed together and jason were to suddenly say to me , `` hey , i remember everything . i remember our life together , and i love you `` -- come on , a part of me would want to go back to that . and that 's not -- that 's not fair to patrick . i do n't want to hurt him like that . alexis : you 've made a very mature decision . sam : i do n't know about me , mom . patrick deserves the credit for that . he made me see the truth in this , and we were able to wish each other well . julian : well , what are your plans with jason ? i mean , obviously , you still love him , right ? sam : yes . i mean , yes , of course , i still love him , but that 's not why i told him the truth . jason deserves to make his own choices about his own life . and i do n't even know what that life is or if i fit into it . [ scene_break ] sonny : looks like you could use a drink . jason : [ chuckles ] you know , it 's funny you should say that because , uh ... [ clears throat ] sonny : hm . jason : ... i thought the same thing . i guess , uh , i just felt like hitting something was a better idea . sonny : in a situation like this , you could do both . i - i 'll take a little swig . jason : yeah ? sonny : well , a little bit . jason : okay . sonny : [ grunts ] carly , uh -- here you go -- lied to me more than once . but i got to be fair . i lied to her , too . but we would always find our way back . jason : how ? sonny : we were a lot alike , you know ? we 're just -- we 're both stubborn . we both want what we want . and when we fight , sometimes it can get ugly . and you used to be right in the middle . jason : i 'm glad i do n't remember that . sonny : [ chuckles ] carly and i , we ... we understand each other . we 're loyal to each other . we want what we want , but in the end i forgave her ... because i 'd rather accept what she did than live without her . jason : so , uh , you think that 's what i should do with elizabeth ? [ scene_break ] ava : all right , i 'm gon na go . but , you know , you do n't get to say when i can and can not see kiki . although , it is true that i can say when sonny is able or not able to see avery . carly : if you refuse visitation , you 're in violation of the court order . ava : i 'm not gon na violate anything . morgan : bye , ava . ava : well , morgan , it 's nice to see you out and about . morgan : is that right ? ava : yeah , that 's right . and i do hope that you do n't have to spend any more time in the hospital . i know how heartbreaking it is for any mother to watch her child suffer . morgan : you 're above ground and in one piece , so i guess my meds are working . carly : hey , you okay ? morgan : yeah , mm - hmm . mm - hmm . carly : you sure ? kiki : [ sighs ] well , now that she 's gone , i will clean up this mess and any other evidence she was ever here . [ chuckles ] morgan : here , i 'll help you . carly : you know , why do n't -- why do n't we ta -- morgan : no , no , no , i got it . it got it . carly : okay , i 'm gon na go find your dad . he was up and out early this morning . i need to make sure he stays out of trouble . morgan : okay . carly : um , kiki . i 'm sorry you had to ... go through that . kiki : [ chuckles ] morgan : here . kiki : i can handle this . morgan : no , no . please . humor me . i 've had my mom on my back all morning , so by comparison this is actually kind of fun . kiki : you do realize that your mom is all over you , because she actually cares about you , right ? my mom seems to think that , `` i 'm sorry , and i miss you , `` makes up for a world of pain and betrayal , so ... i win . morgan : yeah , it 's not a contest . kiki : [ chuckles ] damn right it 's not because you 'd lose . morgan : you are correct . and , again , i 'm sorry . kiki : yeah , well , forget about it . i 'm pretending i already have . [ sighs ] so ... [ glass clatters ] kiki : ooh . how are you doing -- really ? morgan : i mean , fine , i guess , for someone who just found out their mental health is in a prescription bottle -- two prescription bottles , actually . kiki : just like millions of other people . you 're not alone . morgan : yeah . i guess that 's the thing that everyone , you know , forgets . they feel like it 's just them . but , you know , all i can do is i can -- i can take my little white and yellow pills and tell myself everything 's fine . kiki : it is n't ? morgan : no , i just -- you know , i feel , like , flattened out . like , it 's like letting the air out of the balloon . it 's hard to explain , really . kiki : you mean like numbed out ? morgan : not numb . it 's like i came back down to earth , and it 's just not as fun as i remembered it to be . [ scene_break ] curtis : i did my part . i did everything you asked of me , and i did it under the radar . hayden : you have . curtis : so , if you want me to continue with my stellar batting average , we 're gon na have to talk about a little bit more time and a lot more money . hayden : fine . do what you need to do . i just want this thing wrapped up . curtis : no worries . once that ballistic report comes back , you 're gon na have all the tangible evidence you need to prove that somebody else tried to kill you in that garage . that is what you want , right -- to prove somebody other than shawn wanted you dead ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , what 's done is done , but we need to figure out what we 're gon na do next . elizabeth : no , we -- we are not going to do anything . the conspiracy is over . you can deal with the fallout however you choose , and i 'm sure that means some business maneuver to hang on to elq . nikolas : okay , look , i realize none of that compares to what you 're facing . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jason loved me . nikolas : yeah . elizabeth : i loved him , and i -- our love was real . i should have trusted that . nikolas : mm - hmm . elizabeth : i should have just trusted him . nikolas : yes , you should have . but what you did you did for love . maybe jason will see that . you have jake , a son you both love . he wo n't abandon either one of you . it does n't matter what sam or anyone else says , okay ? what you had , like you said , was real . it mattered . elizabeth : okay . thank you for standing by me through all this craziness . nikolas : you 're welcome . what are friends for , right ? [ sighs ] and remember -- all those people lining up to judge you , they were n't in your shoes . you do n't owe them any explanations . elizabeth : okay . thanks . nikolas : yeah . elizabeth : and , nikolas . yeah ? at some point , jason is gon na be knocking on your door . please be careful . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i could never tell you what to do , and i sure as hell am not gon na start now . jason : huh . i thought the point was i always did what you wanted . sonny : no , you did what you wanted . you chose the life . you chose to work for me . people tried to talk you out of it . you did n't want to -- you did n't want to hear it . i know . i tried . jason : i did n't realize . sonny : i even cut you loose for your own good . you did n't want to hear it 'cause you did n't want anybody making decisions for you , not even me . jason : well , did i ever ask to hear what you think ? sonny : occasionally . jason : i 'm asking . sonny : [ sighs ] i ca n't really be objective because i 'm one of the people that elizabeth left to grieve for seven months . but since you asked me , what i see is she -- she wanted you for herself . she did n't care who suffered -- not your wife , not your son . so , i would n't forgive her . but it 's not up to me . jason : [ clicks tongue ] [ knock on door ] jason : [ sighs ] hey . carly : am i interrupting ? jason : no , no . i was just leaving . sonny : i thought that -- you want to hit the bag one more time , get it all out ? jason : maybe later . there 's something i need to do first . thank you . sonny : all right , anytime . jason : hey . carly : hey . jason : you know , uh , you were right . you really do know me better than i know myself . carly : what was that about ? [ scene_break ] sam : i guess i should just , um , get this out of the way . [ chuckles ] my holiday plans have drastically changed , and i really do n't want to go back to the apartment that i shared with jason , so i was just hoping that danny and i could spend christmas here . alexis : why would you even ask that ? this is your home , too . julian : you and danny are welcome here for as long as you want , sweetheart -- seriously . sam : thank you . alexis : we 're your parents , all right ? sam : mm - hmm . alexis : we will support you no matter what . sam : okay . [ sniffles ] okay , that 's good . um , i was hoping that maybe we can ... make things here really festive and happy when -- when danny wakes up so he can ... alexis : uh , we 'll do that for sure . of course , that 's a great idea . julian : [ sighs ] yeah , i think that 's a great idea . sam : you know , last christmas , patrick and i were at the hospital , and we were watching danny at the -- anyway , there was this mistletoe , and -- [ sighs ] everything seemed great then . i 'm -- i 'm gon na go see if danny is awake , okay ? julian : okay , i 've got to say something before sam gets back . alexis : i already know what it is , but go ahead . julian : okay , yeah , i do n't feel good . i mean , listen , okay , i was n't worried about sam being with patrick . he 's respectable . i liked him . you know , i felt that she was safe with him . but sam being with -- with jason -- i mean , we both know where this is headed , right ? alexis : well , it certainly seems to be . julian : i mean , how many times did he put her in danger ? alexis : i 've lost count . julian : so i do n't like the idea of sam being with jason at all . [ scene_break ] hayden : of course , i want proof that someone besides shawn wanted me dead . that 's why i 'm going broke paying for your services . curtis : you wo n't regret it . hayden : i hope not . now , tell me what you have planned and how much it 's going to cost me because from what you 've implied the only way to get your hands on that gun is to bribe someone . curtis : no . that 's such an unattractive word for such an attractive woman . hayden : how big a bribe are we talking ? [ scene_break ] sonny : can you promise me something ? carly : what ? sonny : that if i tell you what jason and i talked about , you 're not gon na go running to him ? carly : oh , come on , that 's not fair . that 's not -- sonny : i mean -- i mean it . carly : fine . i wo n't go running after him . tell me what 's going on . sonny : jason told me that elizabeth knew who he was for months . carly : oh , thank god . sonny : `` thank god `` -- that 's not the reaction i expected . carly : no , no , do n't get me wrong . i 'm furious . i am . but , sonny , i 'm more relieved . i always knew that elizabeth was wrong for jason . it took him years to figure it out , but he finally realized it , too . but then , elizabeth , she got her hooks into jason all over again , and this time she was n't gon na let go . she insisted she was the only one to accept him for who he is now , that she did n't want the old jason back . the truth is she knew he was jason all along . that little bitch slipped up and showed her true colors ! i mean , she is as selfish and manipulative as they come , and jason sees it . he sees the real elizabeth . and the best part is i did n't have to do anything at all . elizabeth did this all to herself . [ laughs ] sonny : sometimes , the way your mind works kind of scares me . carly : am i wrong ? sonny : no , you 're 100 % right . carly : thank you . sonny : jason , uh , maybe will be able to forgive elizabeth for what she did to him , but he will never forgive her for what she did to sam and danny . so , he does n't know it yet , but he 's done . carly : he came to talk to you about it . sonny : yeah , he just came 'cause he was gon na hit the bag . carly : he could have walked away . he stayed because he wanted to . sonny : no -- carly : and you know what that means ? sonny : no , it means that we just had a conversation . carly : it means coming back to us , sonny . sonny : okay . carly : slowly , but surely , jason 's coming back to us . sonny : listen to me . i 'm advising you not to go to him 'cause he 's gon na get pissed off . so , how was your ... mother / son breakfast with morgan ? carly : that 's a nice segue . sonny : well , i 'm just changing the subject into business that 's ours , which is family . how did it go ? carly : it went okay . sonny : okay . carly : he accused me of hovering . sonny : were you ? carly : a little bit . but we -- it was good . we had a good talk . and morgan is taking his medication because he knows he has to . sonny : okay . mm . carly : he 's getting better . [ scene_break ] morgan : so that 's my , uh , anti - psychotic . and then , that 's the , uh , mood stabilizer . and , yeah , you know , together they bring me to my happy place . kiki : except , apparently , it 's not a happy place . morgan : yeah , it will be . kiki : you know , i tried calling you . morgan : no , i know . kiki : really , i just wanted to see how you were doing , but i 've got to say -- you seem pretty great . you 're just adjusting . morgan : yeah , all -- you know , all things considered , but , hey , you know , maybe we can even hang out . when do you , uh -- when do you get off work ? kiki : morgan , i want to be your friend . i really do . we just have a lot of crazy history behind us . morgan : yeah , i know . kiki : and , uh , seeing my mom , it ... it brought back a lot of ... stuff . so , uh , i think it 's best if -- we just stay friends . morgan : yeah , no , that 's -- that 's what i want . kiki : is it really ? morgan : no . kiki : [ chuckles ] morgan : [ chuckles ] but , uh , you know , i get it . you know , we -- my shrink has been talking about boundaries . and , you know , we need space . i get it . kiki : how about you keep working on yourself , and when you need a friend , i 'll be here . busboy : uh , kiki , uh , table 7 is looking to order . kiki : oh , thank you . i 'll be right there .

[ both chuckle ] [ cell phone rings ] morgan : hey , darby . what 's going on ? uh ... yeah . yeah , no , i 'm free . okay . where do you want to meet ? [ scene_break ] alexis : sam knows how i felt about her being with jason before . and while he apparently is not interested in working for sonny again ... julian : so you 're worried about this , as well ? alexis : of course , i am . julian : okay , do you think there 's a chance that she might get back together with him ? sam : hey , hey , hey . you guys can relax . as i explained earlier , jason and i are not getting back together . i mean , at this point , we 're just friends -- if we 're even that after last night . alexis : and if jason chooses to stay with elizabeth , then what ? sam : then i will respect his choice . i mean , even though i do n't like elizabeth , and i think she 's a liar , i want jason to be able to trust me . julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] [ motorcycle approaches ] [ cell phone ringing ] [ ringing continues ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] jason , are you home ?

luke : i do n't know what all the complaining is about . what 's wrong with a little blackout now and then ? all kinds of interesting things go on in the dark . would you care to pursue this conversation ? skye : it 's not dark anymore . luke : well , i can fix that . now that i have a stake in this hotel , i have free roving access to any number of secluded , dark rooms . skye : i 'd rather hear what you 're holding over jax to get him to give carly a portion of this hotel . luke : well , let 's put it like this -- it 's good . [ scene_break ] jax : luke spencer knows something he should n't . how did that happen ? dr. meadows : i have no idea . jax : you must have talked to him . dr. meadows : he stopped me outside my office earlier . that 's the first time i ever laid eyes on the man . jax : what kind of records do you keep in your office ? [ scene_break ] today , the role of nikolas cassadine will be played by chris beetem . nikolas : you 're going to be a great doctor . general hospital will be lucky to keep you . and you have a brilliant career waiting for you , emily . just do n't give up on it . and more importantly , do n't give up on yourself . emily : nikolas , you do n't have to prop me up . i 'm not your problem to fix anymore . [ scene_break ] monica : bobbie . bobbie : oh , monica . what 's the status ? monica : well , it 's not good . all life - support for critical patients is on battery power -- bobbie : oh , great . monica : and that is going to run out eventually . i have no idea how this power loss is affecting jason 's surgery . bobbie : oh . surgeon : help . help . monica : ken ? ken , what happened to you ? ken : stabbed from behind . monica : what ? ken : they took my i.d . badge . monica : ok . we need a gurney here , stat ! [ scene_break ] patrick : he 's doing well . we 're almost done here . [ scene_break ] max : some doctor was just stabbed from behind . his i.d . was stolen . sonny : same height and weight ? max : yeah , close enough . sam : that freak is in the hospital ? sonny : ok , we 're not going to panic . ok , it could be just , you know -- we 're just guessing here . i 'm going to go question the doctor . you stay with sam and carly . max : you got it . carly : what 's that guy doing ? [ scene_break ] luke : you know , sometimes inspiration flows from the most unexpected sources . take carly , for example . i 've never had any use for her , niece or no niece , but she did have the forethought and the smarts to marry alcazar . poor , filthy rich , besotted alcazar , who gives her anything she wants no matter how many times she throws him over for sonny . skye : oh , please . do n't tell me you 're actually feeling sympathy for lorenzo . luke : no , the guy 's a chump . he marries this wacko and then , like anybody could 've predicted , she walks away with a big payout -- made even bigger , of course , by my sage advice . skye : you 're feeling pretty good about yourself right now , are n't you ? luke : oh , i feel ok . skye : well , i have to admit it was pretty inspired , getting carly to demand alcazar 's e.l.q . stock as their divorce settlement . i have to say , though , i 'm surprised she just did n't hang on to it . luke : she made a logical choice . i mean , why should she be ineffective and have no say at the quartermaine board when she can have all the say in the world and all the power here ? skye : and you end up getting a big , fat finder 's fee with benefits . luke : sweet , is n't it ? skye : what about jax ? this is still his hotel . luke : but this is business , red , and sometimes the price of business is you lose . skye : jax has lost a lot more than a portion of this hotel , ok ? his life is collapsing around him . elizabeth lost that baby she was carrying for jax and courtney , who decides that surrogacy is a bit too much and dumps him for nikolas . and then if that were n't enough , she miraculously ends up pregnant and shuts jax out . no , that 's terrible . jax does n't deserve any of that , and he certainly does n't deserve the evil eye that you 're giving him . luke : i hate to disillusion you , red , but the australian is not as squeaky clean as you would like to believe . he 's as capable of dirty tricks as anybody . and fortunately for me , he 's willing to pay to keep the truth hidden . [ scene_break ] nikolas : how you feeling ? courtney : lightheaded , a little dizzy . emily : all right , drink as much water as possible , courtney . we need to counteract the blood loss . nikolas : the bleeding is n't stopping . emily : all right . uh -- listen , maybe there 's a lull in the storm . we can get her to the emergency room . nikolas : ok , let 's go for it . emily : all right , bundle her up and keep her as warm as possible . courtney : you really think a trip to the hospital is necessary ? nikolas : well , maybe not , but i just do n't want to take any chances with you and the baby , ok ? and you 're too weak to fight me . courtney : yeah , you 're right . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sorry , monica -- monica : you ca n't be in here . sonny : i know . is that the surgeon who was stabbed ? monica : if you do n't get out of my e.r . right now -- sonny : listen , manny ruiz is in the hospital . monica : what ? sonny : the lunatic . he could be in here , ok , and if he is , he 's going to go after jason who is lying on an operating table . for your son 's sake , i 'm just asking you , can i question him ? monica : ken ? can mr. corinthos ask you a few questions ? ok , thank you . sonny : thank you , monica . did you see the guy who -- who stabbed you ? ken : he came up from behind . sonny : from -- ken : took my i.d . sonny : did you see his hands ? did he have tattoos ? ken : tattoos everywhere . sonny : ok , monica ? monica : what ? sonny : call mac . tell him to send every officer he can here . we need them . monica : do n't let anything happen to jason ! [ scene_break ] carly : look at this guy . he does n't seem to have a purpose in the room . he just keeps trying to get closer to jason . what if that 's manny ? max , give me your gun . sam : are you insane ? carly : no . sam : why am i asking ? of course you are . do not give her your gun , max . carly : max , give me your gun . sam : get her out of here now , please . carly : i do n't need your permission to save jason . max : hey -- sam : stop it ! carly : this man is out to kill jason ! noah : get her out of here ! manny : go ahead , go ahead . everyone step away from jason or carly dies . go ! this is nice . i like this . i like being part of an audience . you know , carly , i think i 've spent too much time alone . what do you think ? patrick : look , we 're kind of busy here . manny : not anymore . everyone put your instruments down . we 're all going to stand here and watch jason die . you know , like a movie . do it ! [ scene_break ] sonny : where 's carly ? sam : manny is in the o.r . with a scalpel to carly 's throat . you can not go in there with a gun . sonny : no , no -- sam : neither can you . sonny : listen , i can use it to stall or try to get that psycho out of here . the cops are on their way . find them ; bring them here . max : you got it . [ scene_break ] patrick : i have n't lost a patient on the operating table yet , and i do n't intend to spoil a perfect record because you 're having a bad mental health day . robin : that 's brilliant , doctor . you have a patient 's skull open and you 're fighting with a psychopath ? you need to finish the surgery . carly : come on , get off ! sonny : let her go . manny : make me . [ scene_break ] skye : the problem with you is you have no sense of proportion . you ca n't tell the difference between a fun , profitable scheme and one that has the capacity to shatter people 's lives . luke : i adore you , blaze , i really do , but i 'm bored stiff with this constant moralizing . skye : well , i realize you wo n't hear nothing less than praise and admiration for the genius of your scheme , so i wo n't even waste my breath trying to talk you out of this one . you obviously have something on jax , you used it , but i 'll tell you , luke , karma is a real thing , and in the end you 'll get what you deserve . luke : rich ? skye : double - crossed . you made one tactical error when you made carly the foundation of your plan . we 've all seen her in action . it 's carly 's world and we just all happen to live in it . luke : carly 's no match for me . skye : oh , you keep telling yourself that . you see , she never would 've had you in her plan if she did n't want something from you . so you see , once she gets it , she 'll roll right over you and she 'll leave you eating her dust , and when that happens , that cheering you hear on the sidelines ? that 'll be me . luke : complete with short skirt , pompoms , and pink panties i hope . skye : dream on . [ scene_break ] tracy : you 're impressive . ca n't believe you made it all the way here from town . the roads are practically impassable . jax : well , i like driving in the snow . it 's fun . plus , i was very motivated to see you . tracy : should i be flattered ? jax : well -- um -- you are the only person that can help me , if that floats your boat . tracy : it does . i 'd offer you a hot toddy , but alice no longer serves anybody but luke , and i do n't serve at all . alice : well , luke happens to be worth serving . tracy : do n't let the door hit you in the butt . jax : the way i understand the terms of your marriage , he wo n't divorce you unless you give him $ 15 million in alimony . is that right ? tracy : well , is nothing sacred in this town , no detail too intimate not to become fodder for the masses ? jax : i 'll put up the money . tracy : why ? jax : well , i just figure with that much cash in hand , luke will just , you know , get on the next plane out of here . tracy : does that scoundrel have something on you ? jax : he is -- he 's helping carly force her way into part ownership of my hotel . her i can handle . luke , i -- i just need him out of the equation . tracy : i 'm sorry . i would love to help you . but luke tricked me into marriage for the express purpose of swindling me , and i 'll be damned if i 'll let him win . i am not going to divorce my loathsome husband -- not now , not ever .

[ scene_break ] luke : well , wife , did you enjoy your snowmobile ride ? tracy : it was exhilarating , and the night was n't over . i had a very interesting meeting with mr. jacks . luke : really ? well , he must be desperate if he 's asking you for help . lulu : jax offered to put up the 15 mill in alimony so that you and tracy could divorce , and tracy turned him down . luke : spanky buns ! you like me ! you really like me ! tracy : you have spied on me for the last time , missy . lulu : tracy wants to stay married to you , so the way for you to win is to dump her . luke : thank you , daughter . jasper 's offer and tracy 's refusal is very interesting on many levels . it proves that mr. jacks is running scared . [ scene_break ] doctor : emily , what have you got ? emily : yeah , courtney matthews . she has a deep leg laceration that needs to be sutured and she 's pregnant , so you 're going to need to page dr. meadows to perform an exam , all right ? doctor : take her to a room and i 'll be right in . emily : all right , everybody follow me . nikolas : thanks for your help . how 's that leg doing ? courtney : it 's really starting to hurt . nikolas : hang in there , ok ? courtney : oh , man . nikolas : they 'll get you fixed up and get you out of here . doctor : the laceration is deep , but not dangerous . a few stitches should close the wound and you 'll be out of here . courtney : this is going to hurt , is n't it ? doctor : i 'll give you minimal local anesthesia . you 're pregnant , so we want to avoid any sedating drugs . courtney : all right . nikolas : if you behave , i 'll get you a lollipop . courtney : oh , do you promise ? nikolas : squeeze as hard as you want . i can take it . emily : look -- nikolas : wait , wait , wait . something 's wrong , is n't it ? what is it , emily ?

lulu : yes , thank you . mrs. spinelli : i ca n't say that i 'm very happy about this turn of events . but i 'm glad my grandson had the good sense to find you . you 've accepted this . you 're eady to be a good mother . lulu : i 'm sorry . i ca n't do this . mrs. spinelli : i do n't want you to worry about a thing . whether he wants to or not , i 'm going to make sure that my grandson takes full responsibility for your baby . lulu : that 's not why i 'm here . mrs. spinelli : i see . i -- i get what this is all about . you do want an abortion , do n't you ? well . it 's your decision . but as this baby 's great- grandmother , i think i have a right to an opinion . if you end that little life you 're carrying , you 're going to regret it . maybe not right away , but i promise you , it 'll haunt you for the rest of your life . jason : you know , it 's -- it 's been a long day . we do n't have to make a decision right -- right now . mrs. spinelli : your brother 's right . you sleep on this . we 'll talk about it in the morning . jason : is there a restroom i can use ? mrs. spinelli : oh , yes . right down the hall , last door on the right . jason : thank you . mrs. spinelli : you know , when i have a tough decisn to make , i find that prayer often helps . if you want , i can call my pastor and have him here for breakfast in the morning . lulu : i do n't know what i really want anymore . maxie : for weeks , you 've been telling anyone who would listen that you do n't want anything to do with lucky . now you 've changed your mind ? elizabeth : my relationship with him is none of your business . maxie : actually , lucky 's the father of my baby , so that kind of makes it my business . elizabeth does n't want anything to do with you . but i do and so does our baby . we both need you , lucky . lucky : and i told you that i would be there for you and the baby , and i will . but that 's as far as it goes , and you know why i ca n't be there . maxie : right -- because you love elizabeth even though she does n't give a damn about you . elizabeth : ok , you do n't know anything about me , so why do n't you just shut your mouth ? lucky : ok , enough . stress is n't good for either one of you . maxie : why do n't you wake up ? elizabeth is just using you . ric : end this before jason has a chance to move spinelli . lorenzo : morgan and spinelli will be taken care of . your job is to make sure there 's never an investigation into either one of their deaths . ric : well , if you hold up your end of the bargain , i think we 'll both get what we want . lorenzo : if my name is ever brought up in connection with their deaths , i guarantee you there will be more than enough evidence to bring you down with me . ric : ok . save your threats , all right ? the official report is going to show that a fugitive and his accomplice died while evading capture -- that is , assuming your people can get the job done . lorenzo : they 're moving in as we speak . it 's only a matter of time before morgan and spinelli will be eliminated . mrs. spinelli : damian ! spinelli : quick , granny , grab the taser ! this dude is totally wiggin ' out ! jason : just relax , i do n't want to hurt you . we just want to talk to you . spinelli : that 's bogus , granny . this broere is serious bad news . you got to help me ! mrs. spinelli : i 'll do no such thing ! spinelli : what ? mrs. spinelli : why , you -- spinelli : what -- oh ! mrs. spinelli : should be ashamed of yourself . how dare you run out on this poor girl after you got her pregnant . spinelli : whoa . dude , i do n't know what they 've been telling you , but i swear , these hands never touched her . mrs. spinelli : damian milhouse spinelli ! spinelli : yeah ? mrs. spinelli : you know better than to stand there and lie to me . do n't make me get out your grandaddy 's belt . spinelli : no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not lying -- you 've got to believe me . mrs. spinelli : you are not a little boy anymore . you 've got a baby coming . it 's time for you to stand up , grow up and act like a man . lulu : i -- i 'm the one who lied . there is no baby . i lied about everything . carly : you know what ? you say that you want me to be happy , and the minute i am , you try to ruin it , so why do n't you just admit it -- you want me back . sonny : are you saying you want me back ? carly : no , do n't turn it around , sonny . don't . sonny : what are you talking about ? carly : you 're the one that ca n't move on with your life . you 're coming up with every excuse to break up me and jax . first , it 's kristina -- me moving in with you because she needs a family . and then there 's this whole song and dance about jax taking your boys away from you , which could never , ever happen . so i want you to stand there and look me in the face and tell me what the hell is going on . you want me back . sonny : yeah , i do . maxie : it does n't matter how much progress you make -- elizabeth 's always going to see you as an addict . elizabeth : oh , god . i do n't have time to listen to this . i have work to do . maxie : we all know the only reason you 're even talking to lucky is so you do n't get stuck raising two kids by yourself . lucky : ok , enough . you have to go , maxie . maxie : you need to come with me . lucky : and we 've already been over this . maxie : look , if elizabeth loved you , she would 've fought for your marriage , but she did n't , just like she 's not denying that she 's using you . when you finally accept that you guys are over , i 'll be waiting . lucky : i am so sorry about maxie . she is just -- elizabeth : do n't apologize for her ever again . what she does is on her , not you . lucky : i want you to know i 'm really trying . i 've been going to all my meetings and seeing my sponsor every day . elizabeth : i know you have been , and you 're getting your life back together and i 'm very happy for you . ric : hey . i had a feeling i 'd find you here . lucky : what 's going on ? ric : yeah , if -- can you excuse us for a minute ? elizabeth : yeah , of course . ric : i need for you to keep an eye on lorenzo alcazar . lucky : for anything specific ? ric : well , you know , i just got a tip that he might be planning something big tonight . just stay on him , see what happens , ok ? lucky : ok , not a problem . ric : look , i -- i know you wanted to ease back into this and everything . if it 's a problem , just let me know , ok ? lucky : thanks , bui can handle it . hey , i 've got to run , but i 'll see you later ? elizabeth : yeah . ric : sorry to pull him away like that . elizabeth : it 's ok . it 's just part of the job . ric : yeah , lucky 's the best cop we got on the force right now . i just needed him back on the street as soon as possible . i just hope he 's ready . elizabeth : what does that mean ? sonny : wanting each other has never been our problem . it 's the staying together that we -- we have trouble with . carly : that 's because no matter how hard we try , all we do is hurt each other . sonny , we do n't work . but jax and i do and i do n't know what it 's going to take for you to get that . sonny : well , wow . i 'm not the one who 's in denial . if you think you 're going to be happily ever after with jax , then you 're -- you 're fooling yourself . carly : not if you have anything to do about it , that 's for sure . sonny : you know , you do n't need my help destroying this . you 're doing just fine on your own . carly : what the hell are you talking about ? sonny : well , i mean , every chance you get , you postpone the wedding . i do n't know what that 's -- carly : we gave our wedding to luke and laura , and you know that . sonny : whatever works for you . carly : we 're getting married on new year 's eve . sonny : how much you want to bet ? mrs. spinelli : what do you mean , there 's no baby ? [ mrs. spinelli gasps ] mrs. spinelli : my god -- you had an abortion . lulu : no . spinelli never got me pregnant . it was all a lie . spinelli : i tried to tell you , granny . mrs. spinelli : you need to hush . now , listen . if you 're not pregnant , why 'd you and your brotherome althe way down here ? lulu : he -- well , he 's not really my brother , either . jason : actually , your grandson has some information here that will clear an innocent woman 's name . mrs. spinelli : what have you gotten yourself into this time ? spinelli : no , it -- it 's not my fault this time , i swear . mrs. spinelli : that 's what you always say right before you ask me for money . spinelli : um , well , now that you mention it , um -- the dinero situation is pretty bleak . i mean , do you -- do you think you could help me ? mrs. spinelli : you got into this all by yoursel and you 're going to get out of it the same way . spinelli : oh . mrs. spinelli : if you need that belt , just holler . spinelli : gran -- so not cool , dude . grannies are totally out of bounds . jason : you ok ? lulu : yeah , i want to go home . get up . we 're leaving . spinelli : no can do , gidget . daddy ai n't going nowhere . lorenzo : where are you with spinelli ? man : just pulled up to the house . lorenzo : any sign of morgan ? man : not yet . i 'm sending someone inow to take a look . lorenzo : good . call me when it 's done . skye : that sounded ominous . lorenzo : that was business . skye : i assume that 's what ric came by earlier to discuss . lorenzo : i thought this was the kind of conversation you specifically wanted to avoid . skye : you 're right . i made the ground rules , i should stick by them . no , really , it 's not that hard to figure out . lorenzo : oh , really ? skye : well , ric 's made no secret of the fact that he 's turned against sonny , a man you despise . why else would he be coming over here to visit you ? you wanted to ask his help with sonny . lorenzo : you know , for someone who did n't want to concern themselves with my business , you seem to be taking quite an interest . i see that santa 's being very good to lila rae this year . skye : are you kidding ? santa did n't even finish . his little sleigh full of presents is still out in the garage . lorenzo : huh . not to mention the closet full upstairs . skye : you did n't ? lorenzo : how could i not ? it 's her first christmas . want to see ? skye : yeah . lorenzo : come on . sonny : i know you , carly , and i know i 've told you this . but jax is not the kind of man that 's going to make you happy . carly : but you are , huh ? sonny : i did n't say it , you did . carly : we were never really happy , sonny , not really . sonny : oh , but do n't -- do n't even say that because i do n't believe that any more than you do . carly : ok , so , you know , there were happy times , but they did n't last . sonny : right . carly : and if you know me as well as you claim to , you would know that i hated the constant push - pull in our relationship . it was hell not knowing from one day to the next whether we were going to love each other or hate each other . and i do n't want to live like that anymore , and you know what ? with jax , i do n't have to , so will you please stop trying to mess it up ? sonny : i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to keep you from making a mistake . carly : i love jax . and i want to marry him and i have never been more sure of anything in my life . [ skye gasps ] skye : lorenzo ! [ knock on door ] lucky : stay back ! lorenzo : skye , what 's wrong ? what 's going on here ? skye : well , i must 've placed one of the presents too close to the fire . thank god lucky was here or the whole place could 've gone up . lorenzo : yes . how fortunate we are that detective spencer just happened to stop by . you know , i 'd ask what you 're doing here , but it seems quite obvious . lansing has me under surveillance , does n't he ? ric : lucky is under a lot of stress right now . he 's got a lot on his plate , he 's dealing with his own recovery . add in his mother 's illness and a whole lot of stress from work -- it 'd make anybody break . elizabeth : yeah , but lucky needs to take responsibility for his own recovery . and we can support and encourage him all we can , but ultimately , has to live his own life . ric : i 'm sorry . i know this is a lot for you to deal with . elizabeth : i 'll manage . ric : yeah , i 'm sure you will . you 're small in stature but , you know , you 're very tough . i just wish you would accept help every once in a while . jason : the only way to prove that ric framed sam is for you to come back to port charles and turn yourself in . spinelli : yeah , that 's so not going to happen , dude . look , the last time i tried to save the goddess , i almost got nuked in a car . look , if i show up back in new york , evil al 's going to waste me for sure . lulu : you ca n't stay here . spinelli : granny will cool down . she just needs some time -- what -- jason : listen to me , listen tome . alcazar is not going to stop until he finds you . you want to bring that kind of trouble on to your grandmother ? lulu : and even if alcazar does n't show up to kill you , do you really want to spend the rest of your life hiding out in oakfield ? huh ? i thought you needed the internet to survive . does your grandma even own a computer ? spinelli : yeah , granny 's still rocking the green screen . i mean , the r.a.m . completely blows , but if i patch it through her dialysis machine , i can boost the memory , and i just need a little high - speed and the jackal will be back in business . jason : if i found you , alcazar is going to find you . spinelli : yeah . nice try , stone cold . lulu here found me . she 's not going to tell evil al where i am , are you , blonde one ? lulu : no , i wo n't , but i do n't -- spinelli : see ? problem solved . granny 's place is as safe as they come . nobody could find me here . [ knock on door ] spinelli : gee . carly : oh . [ knock on door ] carly : hey . hey , come on in . jax : hi . carly : hi . jax : oh , no , no , i ca n't stay . i just want to drop this off . carly : what is it ? jax : information on madagascar . carly : all of it ? jax : yeah . michael wanted some help with a report that he was doing , so i -- yeah , so -- carly : so you had your research staff do an entire profile on the country ? jax : huh . well , just tell him if he needs some more information , let me know . carly : why are you standing out here telling me all this ? jax : because i do n't want to intrude . carly : you 're not intruding . sonny left a while ago . jax : i know what this looks like , but i 'm not -- like , i 'm not checking up on you , ok ? i was just dropping this off . carly : i do n't want you to ever think that you have to come up with an excuse to come see me . jax : i 'm just dropping -- carly : we 're going to get married in a couple of weeks . you 're going to be coming home to me every night . jax : oh . i like the sound of that . carly : me , too . jax : i really like the sound of that . mike : well . so the -- the boys with carly tonight ? sonny : well , that 's a good guess . mike : a guess ? not really , michael . i mean , you only show up here when you ca n't stand being alone in that house by yourself . sonny : yeah , i admit , sometimes i do get a little lonely . mike : mm - hmm . so , how 's it going with the wedding prep ? sonny : you 're asking me ? mike : i just -- just got my invitation . new year 's eve -- that 's an interesting choice . sonny : yeah , well , i do n't -- i do n't know why carly ca n't just admit she 's -- you know , it 's a mistake . mike : maybe she loves jax . she is marrying the guy . sonny : you know what ? even if she does go down the aisle , the marriage is going to crash and burn . mike : so let it . sonny : i ca n't just `` let it `` because my children are the ones who are going to be hurt . mike : huh . more than you ? sonny : this has nothing to do with me . mike : sonny , you 're about to lose the woman you love because you 're too proud to do a thing about it . trust me , that 's going to hurt like hell . ric : you know , i hope i 'm -- i 'm not being presumptuous . i 'd like to think that you still consider me to be a friend . i mean , god knows we can use one right about now . elizabeth : how 's alexis doing with chemo ? ric : alexis gets pumped full of drugs every three weeks , so much so that she can hardly stand . and instead of doing what she needs to do to recover , she 's pushing herself harder than ever . in her effort to be all things to all people , she 's decided to appoint herself as sam 's attorney . how 's that ? elizabeth : wow . i 'm sure she 's just trying to help her daughter , but -- ric : yeah . alexis keeps pushing herself , she may not be around long enough to take care of and raise molly or kristina . i 'm sorry . i grew up without a mother , i know what that feels like , and i do n't want that for my daughter . elizabeth : but , ric , you may not have a choice . i mean , sometimes things happen that are beyond our control . ric : yeah , like divorce . i 'm just thankful that molly 's young enough that she really does n't understand what 's going on . elizabeth : yeah , not cameron . he 's at the age where he understands everything that 's going on around him , and i ca n't even tell you how many times a day he asks when daddy 's coming home . and how am i supposed to explain to him that lucky chose pills over his family ? ric : well , lucky 's doing better , but , you know , he still has a long way to go . and i think it 's natural for you to have a healthy amount of caution where his recovery is concerned . lucky : if lansing has you under surveillance , i do n't know anything about it . i just stopped by to ask you a few questions about jason morgan . lorenzo : if that were true , the guard at the gate would 've announced you . lucky : there was no one there when i drove up . i knocked on the door first and did n't get an answer , so i was curious and came around back to check things out , and that 's when i heard skye scream . skye : lucky , we ca n't thank you enough for putting out that fire . lucky : not a problem . just be careful about setting things near the fireplace . i know this may not be the best time , but i need to ask you a few questions about jason . lorenzo : you 're right , it 's not . lucky : then i 'll come back . have a nice night . lorenzo : he 's lying . lansing sent him to watch me . skye : i do n't care what lucky was doing here . our baby is upstairs . a few more minutes and the entire house could 've gone up . instead of questioning lucky 's motives , you should be thanking him . lorenzo : you 're right . thanks to lucky , our daughter is safe -- and lansing 's surveillance is now blown . sk h to help our family -- which i find ironic , considering just a few short days ago , you tried to kill his little sister . [ knock on door ] lulu : ok , what do we do ? jason : ok , i want you to find a place to hide , ok ? lulu : ok . jason : do not come out no matter what . you understand me ? lulu : ok . jason : you are going to answer the door . spinelli : but how come she gets to hide ? jason : just shut up . man : hi , i 'm from holbrook cable . we 're offering a holiday special to new subscribers in the area -- free high - speed for the first six months . does that sound like something you might be interested in ? spinelli : seriously , dude , you 're like a gift straight from the cyber gods . hey , man , can you hook me up ? man : i n be back out here by 9 : 00 a.m . spinelli : oh , dude , that 's awesome . where -- where do i sign ? man : i 'll see you in the morning , mr . spinelli . spinelli : later . free high - speed ! how stoked am i ? i 'm -- living in the boondocks totally rocks . lulu : how stupid are you ? spinelli : what ? do you think i should 've gone with d.s.l . ? jason : that was n't a cable guy , that was one of alcazar 's men . spinelli : no -- no way , dude . it says `` cable `` right here . lulu : cable guys do n't show up when you call them . why do you think this one just happened to stop by ? jason : now the problem is you 've been made , ? alcazar 's men are going to have this place surrounded within minutes . we got to get out of here . let 's go . spinelli : no way , dude ! i 'm not going anywhere . jason : you 're going right now . let 's go . get the car . carly : you know , tulips wo n't work , but what do you think about roses -- red ones -- for the church ? jax : yeah , you ca n't go wrong with a classic . carly : you do n't think it 's too traditional ? jax : no . if you want to have roses , i think we should have roses . i think we should have them everywhere -- pretty red ones . you know ? carly : ok . [ jax chuckles ] jax : what are you doing ? carly : calling the hotel florist . hey , andy , it 's carly . yeah , i was thinking we need to put a huge order in for some -- what ? jax : no . carly : what are you doing ? jax : i 'm hanging up the phone because we have a team of wedding coordinators that are supposed to worry about that kind of thing . i 'm sure they can order the flowers . you know ? carly : it was one phone call . jax : yes , and that one phone call will turn into 20 phone calls . remember what our job is here ? carly : hmm ? jax : we 're supposed to sit back , let everybody else stress about this . and we 're just supposed to enjoy our wedding day . remember -- remember the little talk we had ? huh . carly : i want everything to be perfect . jax : oh , it will be . because all we have to do is show up new year 's eve and say our vows . that 's it . carly : you make everything sound so easy . we have n't discussed so many things yet . jax : like what ? carly : like where we 're going to live . jax : i thought we 'd live here . carly : you do n't mind ? jax : no , of course i do n't mind . carly : wow . jax : i 'm becoming a part of the family , you know ? plus , i want to make this transition as easy for you and the boys as possible . i think our family will be very happy in this hoe . carly : yeah ? jax : yeah -- until we outgrow it . carly : hmm . mike : face it , sonny . you 're still in love with carly . sonny : we 're divorced , mike . what am i supposed to do ? mike : hmm . so . sonny : what ? mike : come on , you -- you tried to replace carly with lots of different women , and none of them lasted . you want to know why ? sonny : why ? mike : because carly was thonly woman you ever really trusted . and she was the only one strong enough to stay by your side . you know that now , andou damn well knew it when you threw it all away . sonny : she lied to me , mike . mike : oh , come on . and you never lied to her ? sonny : well , not like that . i mean , she -- you know , she knew that kristina was my daughter , she kept it from me for months . she broke our trust . how am i supposed to get past that ? mike : by forgiving her . carly did not keep that secret to hurt you , sonny . but you never -- you never even made the effort to see her point of view . you were too caught up in your own pride . you hated feeling like a fool -- you being the last one to know that kristina was your daughter . and so what did you do ? you lashed out and you divorced carly , and you 've regretted it ever since . ric : so how is cameron ? he getting excited about christmas ? elizabeth : oh , he is beyond excited . this is the first year tt he really understands the whole santa thing , and he keeps reminding me to buy carrots for the reindeer , so -- [ ric chuckles ] ric : yeah , i ca n't wait till molly 's old enough to enjoy the holidays . of course , when she is , we 'll probably be splitting them with alexis . have you and lucky worked out an arrangement yet ? elizabeth : no . no , i do n't want to think about custody or attorneys right now . i just want to give cameron the best christmas i possibly can . ric : yeah , i 'm sure you wl . hey , you remember when we -- when we drove up to manhattan that one christmas to go ice - skating at rockefeller center ? elizabeth : huh . well , i would n't exactly call what you were doing `` skating . `` it was more like falling over and over and over again . ric : i think a lot of champions start that way . elizabeth : oh , i think you spent more time on your back than you did on your feet . ric : well , you know i 'm a glutton for punishment . what can i tell you ? elizabeth : obviously . do you remember how bad those bruises were ? ric : oh , you 're worth it . elizabeth : i ca n't believe you rememb that trip -- that was a really long time ago . ric : yeah , it 's too long . maybe we 'll do it again sometime . maxie : who are you looking for ? georgie : hey . i wanted to see if you wanted a ride home . maxie : did elizabeth call you -- that snake . georgie : no , i -- maxie , i never talked to elizabeth . maxie : oh . so it 's just a coincidence that i asked lucky to come with me to our baby 's sonogram and elizabeth happens to show up there throwing a hissy fit , staking her claim on lucky even though she really does n't want him ? and then conveniently , 20 minutes later , you 're here to see if i need a ride home ? you know what , georgie ? if you 're on her side , just go ahead and tell me so i do n't make the mistake of coming to you for support . georgie : you know what , maxie ? this is why i hate that you 're inlved with lucky . maxie : why ? because your trampy sister is breaking up his sacred marriage ? georgie : no , maxie , i hate what it does to you . you were great to me earlier , you were fabulous . the stars were in alignment , remember ? i actually got the rare opportunity to see you actually be my sister . and here you are throwing attitude and being sarcastic , and do you want to know why ? because lucky rejected you , and the only way you can gear yourself up to go after him again is to be bitchy and angry and act like you do n't care . maxie , you actually put on a good show , and sometimes i think you actually convince yourself . but underneath it all , i know you do care , and i know that you 're breaking your own heart , because you know lucky 's never going to love you . maxie : well . thank you for stopping by , but i can take care of myself . georgie : i hope so . jason : they still back there ? spinelli : uh -- yeah , dude . they 're closing the gap , like , wicked fast ! jason : ok , how many sets of headlights do you see ? spinelli : i do n't know . maybe -- maybe three ? [ tires screech ] spinelli : whoa -- whoa , dude ! god -- hey , how about a little warning next time ? lulu : ok , seriously , jason , slow down . i do n't want to take out a tree going 100 . jason : hold on !

[ engine stops ] lulu : what are you doing ? jason : i 'm losing them . everyone get down . get down . spinelli : dude -- dude , this is never going to work . jason : shut up and stay quiet . spinelli : what , so they can find us and shoot us ? jason : shut up ! stay down . [ three cars pass ] [ cars pass ] jason : stay -- hey , stay down . spinelli : what ? simmer down , dude . the coast is totally clear . lulu : do you think it really worked ? jason : for now , but we need to get out of here before they decide to double back .

claudia : look , do n't get me wrong , i realize that this marriage is a business arrangement . you 've said it so many times , i 've been thinking about having a t - shirt made . i 'm just looking for a way for us to peacefully co - exist , if possible . sonny : i just wanted us to relax . making lunch seems to have the opposite effect . claudia : well , no , you have to see it from my perspective . i mean , come on . we had sex one night , and i 'm not going to lie . physically , you kind of rocked my world . but then you treated me like a whore . and there was no place for us to go , except to hate each other . and now you 're making me lunch , and we 're comparing sauce recipes . i 'm sorry , call me crazy , but i think you have an agenda . sonny : of course , i do . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the blonde ones , as always , are both kind and gracious so they must not take it personally when the mob prince declines their generous invitation in the interest of standing on his own two feet . lulu : do n't you want to stay with me ? [ scene_break ] lucky : so why did you pull away ? sam : you know i hurt my hip again when i was escaping with jake . lucky : if you want to go get it checked , i can take you to g.h . right away . sam : no , no , no , it 's okay . it 's just a little sensitive , that 's all . but , you know , everything is going to be just fine . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why is it so important for you to tell me , in such graphic detail , how our son could have died ? jason : because we both need to understand why we can never see each other again . [ scene_break ] johnny : spinelli is right . i need to support myself . lulu : and you will , as soon as you get a job , but in the meantime , i have my own room and half of this apartment . i think it would be fun to share with you , and anyway , maxie said that it was okay , right ? spinelli : this very pleasant abode has limited space . yes , two bedrooms , but one bath , which can only lead to an inadvertent violation of privacy , and in addition , the jackal is all too aware , from personal experiences , that maximista lacks judgment to the point of impropriety when selecting sleepwear . maxie : oh , spinelli , that 's so sweet . you 're jealous . [ scene_break ] sonny : there are a lot of ways our interests can in sync . and when they 're not , you know , we can compromise . i mean , why go to war with each other ? claudia : what i think i 'm hearing you say is that you want us to trust each other . sonny : trust is a big word , does n't come easily to me . it 's got to be earned . claudia : i know the feeling . sonny : i mean , you know , anthony and i are just now getting to know each other . and ric would double cross me in a second . so would trevor . johnny is out of the picture for now . i need an ally , one zacchara on my side . i choose you because i know that you 're smart enough to know that i 'm going to treat you better than any of them . claudia : and in return , i 'm supposed to trust you ? sonny : well , aside from johnny , when has any of them treated you with any ounce of respect ? claudia : you make an excellent point . sonny : just think it over . claudia : where are you going ? sonny : my father 's in the hospital , probably worrying into a heart attack , wondering why i married you . [ scene_break ] sam : so it was sort of a relief to tell the federal agent my story . lucky : they 're not filing charges against you ? sam : they closed the case . lucky : that 's great . then this is over . sam : no , i do n't think so , lucky . the russians who snatched jake , they were low - level thugs . their bosses are definitely going to be out for blood . i guarantee you that . lucky : you 're not going to let this go , are you ? sam : do n't try and talk me out of it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i do n't need to hear about the danger jake and cameron were in . i have lived it over and over in my head . jason : i 'm sorry i let it go as far as it did . elizabeth : oh , jason , you warned me . you made it clear you wanted the relationship to end because of the danger . and i 'm the one who rationalized and justified , and i came up with this ridiculous notion that if we just -- we just loved each other enough that would protect us . jason : i should have said no . elizabeth : you did . you did . i 'm the one who ignored your warnings . and i ignored reality . i put my children 's lives at risk because i just wanted to be with you . jason : we 're both responsible . and now we know what we need to do . jason : there will be no contact with me , you , and jake again . [ scene_break ] nadine : i should have gone to the funeral home . i hate the idea of aunt raylene being by herself in there . nikolas : well , i spoke with funeral director , and he said that you can come by , whenever you feel strong enough , to make the rest of the arrangements . nadine : thank you , nikolas . you 're should n't have to do any of this . nikolas : no , no , i want to help you . nadine : it 's not like this is a surprise , you know ? i knew for so long that she was dying . i prepared myself , or at least i though i had . nikolas : yeah . well , i do n't think you can ever prepare yourself to lose someone you love like that . nadine : aunt raylene always said that there 's something to be thankful for , even in the worst of times . i 'm trying . really , i am . maybe it 's the way that she passed , you know ? smiling and peaceful . it 's a blessing , is n't it ? nikolas : yeah , yeah . i know you loved her . you 've been quoting her since i met you . nadine : yeah . [ nikolas laughs ] nadine : people always say i 'm just like her . that used to make me cringe . nikolas : well , what little i knew of her , i can certainly see the similarities . you 're honest , you stand up for what you believe in . you got a bit of a stubborn streak in you . fine qualities , all of them . nadine : yeah , they sure get us into a boatload of trouble . that 's for sure . nikolas : yeah . [ scene_break ] lucky : sam , you nearly died . and so did jake . do you have any idea how crazy i was ? sam : yes , i know , lucky . lucky : you barely got out with your life . i mean , how many times do you think you can tempt fate ? sam : you put your life on the line every day , and you think it 's just fine . lucky : and that 's my point . you 're a civilian so why do n't you let the cops handle the russians ? sam : are you kidding me ? look at where that got us last time . no . i know something inside me is telling me that this is n't over . i 've got to listen to my instincts just like you do . lucky : so what do you want me to do ? you want to just turn the other way while you play vigilante ? sam : i can go places cops ca n't . i can learn things that cops ca n't . lucky : then join the department . sam : they would never hire me with my background , and you know that . besides , lucky , i am not big on rules . i am way more comfortable as an independent contractor . lucky : you know what ? i 'm not going to argue about this right now . elizabeth -- she is giving her statement , and i 'm just going to go and offer my support , okay ? sam : okay , listen , we will talk about this over dinner , and i 'm sure we can come up with something that we both agree upon . [ scene_break ] jason : i put $ 5 million into an account . the money is clean . it ca n't be traced . elizabeth : i do n't want your money . jason : i also bought the house that you 're renting . the title to the house and the money are in a trust set up for jake and for cam . and if anybody ever investigates , they 'll find out that the trust was established by emily to provide for your children . elizabeth : i can support my own children . jason : i will never see my son again . jake wo n't have my name . and i ca n't be a father in any way that matters , so please just let me provide for his future . elizabeth : i promise i 'll give those boys a good life , a safe life . i promise not to call you or try to see you . i 'm sorry it took me so long to see the truth . and i 'm really sorry i hurt my boys , and i hurt you out of my own selfishness . jason : i was selfish , too . [ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli , who cares if johnny wants to live here ? sure , johnny and lulu think they are some great love story for the ages , but that 's got nothing to do with us . and johnny 's just going to have to learn to share one bathroom . spinelli : the jackal is merely trying to point out his concerns about the crowded quarters . see , if the mob prince moves in , there wo n't be sufficient room for the lovely maximista to maintain any sense of decorum for her delicate sensibilities . lulu : do n't worry about it , spinelli . i have a feeling that johnny and i will be spending a lot of time in our bedroom , which means there will be plenty of privacy where maxie can take care of her `` delicate sensibilities . `` spinelli : the jackal is just curious as to why someone with the fortune and means of the zacchara family at their disposal might not be able to find a more suitable abode . luke : the zacchara fortune is no longer at my disposal . lulu : spinelli , when johnny left his family , he left with nothing . spinelli : yes , and i respect your wise and noble decision , but ca n't you live somewhere else ? i do n't know , a monastery comes to mind . a nice , quiet place to contemplate all your many -- lulu : nice try , spinelli . that 's good . we 're going to go check out my bedroom . maxie : spinelli , it 's okay . i really do n't mind if johnny lives here . help me measure something . and , you know , considering the non - existent state of my love life , seeing johnny shirtless could just be the highlight of my week . spinelli : 70 inches . maxie : thank you . yes , it could get a little crazy around here , but johnny is smoking hot , so who cares ? [ scene_break ] ric : well , you 're hard at work , huh ? claudia : catching up on some e - mail . ric : business or personal ? claudia : private , either way . ric : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to pry . just curious how your campaign to win sonny 's trust is going . claudia : is that what i 'm doing ? ric : well , maybe trust is not the right word . approval seems to be more appropriate . claudia : ric , i do n't need sonny 's approval . ric : oh , maybe not as much as daddy 's , right , but we all know that anthony 's trust is permanently unavailable so you 're going to have to settle for your husband 's . claudia : well , you are full of interesting insights tonight . ric : i do n't hear you denying it . claudia : what would be the point ? you think you have me all figured out . i do n't mean to rain on your parade . ric : no , no , not even close , honey . you are complicated . you are contradictory . it 's almost impossible to figure out your motives because i 'm not even really sure if you 're aware of them yourself . claudia : you know what i know for a fact ? it was not my idea to marry sonny . ric : oh , here we go . claudia : it was n't my idea , ric , but i 'm going to make damn sure that make the best of it . ric : mm . claudia : sonny controls the power , my entire family 's organization , ric . and one day , he will share that power with me . ric : sonny married you , claudia , as a means to an end , okay ? he 's not going to share his power or anything else for that matter . claudia : we 're living in the same house , okay ? that presents unique opportunities . ric : oh , well , i 'm sure you 'll be able to get sonny into bed , but he 's not going to like you , and he 's not going to believe in you . and he 's definitely not going to trust you on any level for anything . claudia : okay , so you think i should live in your brother 's house , but remain faithful to you ? ric : actually , yes . [ scene_break ] mike : i do n't know who 's going to be happier with my release , me or the physical therapist . kate : you 're being naughty , i know it . mike : hey , sonny . kate : well , it never occurred to me that you might be visiting mike at the same time i was . sonny : you do n't have to leave . mike : listen , guys , having two visitors does a lot more to lift my spirits than just one . kate : no , i 'm sorry , mike . i do n't mean to be rude , but sonny is married to claudia now , and i am not going to stay and pretend that i 'm okay with it . sonny : kate , you know why i did it . kate : i know you have a convenient excuse . mike : hey , listen . guys , cool it , will you ? i do n't think this is a fight you want to have . kate : no , you 're right . you 're absolutely right . there is no reason to fight because sonny was under no obligation to me when he married claudia . sonny : okay , what kate is n't telling you is that i did it to find out who had her shot . karpov did n't do it , right ? and i got a gut feeling it 's one of the zaccharas , so i 'm going to find out -- mike : all right , sonny , sonny . if the zaccharas shot at anyone in that church , why would n't he have fired at you ? kate : no , mike . do n't try to use logic . you see , sonny wants to have his cake and eat it , too , right ? he gets to marry claudia . he gets power over the zaccharas , and the whole time he can tell everyone that he 's doing it for me . sonny : i am . kate : i do n't give a damn . [ scene_break ] lucky : they should have already interviewed you by now . elizabeth : i just got finished . it was way easier than i expected . the agent was very nice . lucky : what 's wrong ? elizabeth : i just ran into jason . we spoke for a few minutes . probably the last conversation we 'll ever have . lucky : why would you say that ? elizabeth : he told me how the roadhouse blew up . and proceeded , in very graphic detail , to describe how jake would have died if sam had n't gotten him out of there . lucky : and what the hell did he think that would prove ? elizabeth : he was making a point , and very effectively , by the way , that we should n't see each other anymore . after everything , i just ca n't justify ever being with him again . and as hard as it was for me to hear him say it , if he had n't broken things off , i was going to . [ scene_break ] lulu : huh . well , it 's not that bad . it needs a new comforter and some new pillows , maybe a hand grenade . it 's not too late for you to back out now . johnny : no , all it needs is the lulu touch . lulu : well , it is a far cry from my quartermaine bedroom and your penthouse . my god , what you would n't give for that view right now . johnny : that view cost me way too much . as soon as claudia decided to marry sonny because she thought it would be in my own best interest , i knew i wanted out . lulu : i 'm so proud of you . i know it 's not easy to walk away from your family . johnny : oh , it 'd be easy once i find out what i 'm doing . lulu : do what makes you happy . johnny : you make me happy . lulu : mmm .

[ scene_break ] ric : okay , here 's an idea . instead of you playing sonny and sonny playing you -- instead of the two of you faking something that you 're not feeling and waiting for a mutual betrayal , why do n't you just take this for what it is , claudia ? a marriage of convenience , you know ? you stay out of sonny 's way , i guarantee you , he 's going to stay out of yours . claudia : i do n't want to stay out of sonny 's way . ric : okay , well , then i 'm -- you 're opening yourself up for a world of misery . and i 'm not sure that i can just stand by and watch that happen . claudia : i 'd be really sad to lose you . ric : oh , but you 'll live with it , right ? claudia : what do you want me to say ? what do you want me to say ? i 've never trusted anybody in my entire life , except my kid brother , and i 'm supposed to just start with you , because we 're outsiders ? and we 've been screwed over by our respective fathers ? and we 're great in bed together ? ric : yeah , that 's exactly what i want you to say , claudia . i want you to acknowledge that we are a lot alike . and i also want you to acknowledge that we can be good together . claudia : maybe . maybe you just want to take away your brother 's wife . even a wife he does n't particularly want . ric : okay . well , you 're going to get what you want anyway , so do n't let me stand in your way . claudia : ric , do n't go away . ric : what do you expect from me , claudia ? claudia : i just look -- i 'm complicated , okay ? i 'm contradictory , remember ? but i am smart enough to know that you 're right . we could be very , very good together . maybe we will be as soon as i get what i want from sonny . [ scene_break ] mike : listen -- try to remember , you two . listen , if things had gone differently , you would have been married now . kate : i do n't know , mike . maybe it 's a blessing that we 're not , right ? i mean , i did n't enjoy being shot a second time , but it was a vivid demonstration of how i do n't fit in sonny 's world . sonny : why are you doing this ? kate : what ? i 'm sorry , is the truth uncomfortable ? sonny : no , it 's not uncomfortable , because you 're the one who -- you 're putting up an act right now , because you 're the fashion publisher , the big deal -- kate : no , there is no act . i am simply bowing to the inevitability that we do n't fit , sonny . our lives do n't fit . sonny : okay , if you want us to be over so bad , right ? why are you so mad then ? what 's the big deal ? kate : i wasted a year of my life investing in a dream that had no possibility of coming true . sonny : well -- kate : i slept with jax . and i 'm not saying it now to you to try to hurt you . i just want to be very clear . sonny : that 's not right . kate : yeah , it 's not right . you married another woman , right ? right , so , i slept with another man . and now we have a definitive end to our relationship . so whatever you do now , sonny , do n't say you 're doing it for me . [ scene_break ] spinelli : per the jackal 's measurements , your room is less than a foot smaller than the original blonde one 's . and if you stand in just the right spot and look across the building and around a tree , you can almost see the harbor . maxie : thanks , spinelli . i totally overreacted . it 's just the advertisement said there was a master bedroom , and then lulu took it . but you 're right . one foot , that 's not a big deal . and i do have a better view ; therefore my room is the best . spinelli : you see , it 's just -- it 's important that you embrace the move . that it 's not simply a reaction to your conflict with his commissionership over our friendship . maxie : i do embrace it . i embrace it a ton . look , mac is a fun , loving , amazing person , but he had no business telling me you could n't be my friend . and he should have known better than to give me ultimatums . it was time to for me to move out . and this place is perfect . johnny 's voice : oh , lulu .

[ scene_break ] jason : the place we were in was wired to blow , and i had no idea . i went in firing . the next thing i know i was lying on my back . i could n't hear . i could barely see . all i could smell was fire . i finally made it to my feet , and i saw the building was in flames . i thought i was watching my son being burned to death . i can never let myself forget that moment . how it felt , because it erased every lie i ever told myself . nobody is safe . nobody .

franco : of course in a professional capacity . what other kind of help could i need from you ? kevin : well , i 'm sorry , i 'm not taking on any new patients right now . franco : not even one ? kevin : no , not even one . franco : why not ? what 's so important that you do n't have time for your work ? kevin : well , if you must know , i need to spend more time with my wife . lucy : did you hear what kevin said ? he wants to save our marriage . so , i have to go out there and find him and confess . i have to tell him that i slept with you . scott : hold on a second , lucy ! you 're gon na go tell him about this ? about us ? lucy : [ sighs ] yeah , of course i am . scott : why ? ! franco : i am so sorry to hear that you 're having problems with your wife . okay , that 's a lie . you 're right . i do n't care . i do n't care what kind of problems you 're having . whatever problems you 're having , trust me . my problems are much bigger . you need to make room for me . kevin : why so urgent ? franco : look ... if i do n't tell somebody what i 've done , i feel like i 'm gon na explode . please , you got to talk to me . please . kevin : tell you what . why do n't i reach out to some of my colleagues and see if they have some availability ? franco : i want to talk to you . kevin : why ? franco : well , because from what i hear , you 've went a little , you know , and , so , i -- kevin : i do n't see what that has to do with anything . franco : you will understand , and you wo n't run screaming from the room when i tell you what horrible , violent , and vicious thing i 've done . kevin : okay . what 'd you do ? franco : this is confidential , right ? kevin : yes , it is . franco : i killed somebody . lulu : i 'm guessing that you do n't know . carly : know what ? lulu : i -- we lost the baby . they took her from us . carly : oh , my god . i -- i did n't realize the judge had made a decision . can you appeal ? lulu : no . no . no , no appeal . it 's over . carly : i 'm so sorry . oh , lulu , i 'm so sorry . lulu : [ crying ] carly : i should have been here with you . i should have -- lulu : it 's not like i called or reached out or anything . carly : it does n't matter . i should have paid attention instead of being so caught up in my own life . kevin : i 'd be lying if i said i did n't know you by reputation , mr. franco . franco : it 's just franco . kevin : franco . franco : right . clearly you do know my reputation . so you also know ... kevin : that you allegedly killed several people . franco : okay , please , just do n't use the word `` spree , `` okay ? i hate that word . kevin : i also know that you were tried and found not guilty of those crimes . franco : right , because the tumor made me do it . kevin : did n't it ? franco : i do n't know . i mean , i thought so . i hoped so . and then ... yesterday happened . kevin : excuse me ? franco : yesterday , i stabbed someone ... to death . kevin : who ? franco : my mother . lucy : what kind of person would i be if i did n't tell kevin that we slept together ? scott : you would be a smart person . lucy : come on , he stood there while i shamelessly hid , and he professed his love for me . he said he loves me and that he wants our marriage to work . he even said that i 'm a force of nature . scott : so ? he said some nice things about you . so what ? lucy : so what ? ! scott : wait a minute . you want to get back with kevin . lucy : um ... of course i do . spinelli : what 's all this ? sam : this ? um , well , i 'm clearing out the office . i figured you could use it as a nursery . spinelli : thank you , but that may not be necessary because -- connie : [ coughs ] spinelli : ooh . we may not be here . i 'm considering leaving port charles . robin : your baby might be moving across the country ? maxie : well , ellie landed her dream job . robin : who 's ellie ? maxie : spinelli 's girlfriend . robin : spinelli has a girlfriend . maxie : oh , yeah . a real serious one . robin : who is n't you ? maxie : it 's a long story , and i will fill you in on that later . the point is , her job offer is in ... spinelli : portland , oregon . ellie does n't want to leave me behind , nor do i want to be left . and adding the baby , as well . it 's not fair to maxie to take our daughter so far away . sam : no , spinelli , maxie would -- she would freak . robin : you must be freaking out . spinelli ca n't take the baby to portland . i mean , i 'm astounded he would even consider doing that . maxie : actually , i 'm the one who told him -- robin : i hope you told him absolutely no way . spinelli : we were certain that maxie would oppose the idea . sam : [ sighs ] spinelli : but , in point of fact ... maxie : i told him to go . and to take the baby with him . spinelli : so , to say ellie and i were shocked ... but it 's true . maxie demanded -- practically begged us to leave town with this little one . carly : can you visit her every once in awhile ? lulu : she 's not my baby , so no . carly : [ sighs ] i am so sorry , lulu . that custody hearing must have been brutal . lulu : it was -- it was beyond . maxie and i dredged up every hateful , stupid thing we 've ever done . in the end , i lost the baby . and so did maxie . carly : so did maxie ? lulu : the judge said she was unfit . carly : well , so who 's raising the baby ? lulu : spinelli . he just came over and he picked her up and that was it . we went from being a family to ... being all alone . sonny : i know things have n't been easy for you and lulu since connie left . dante : well , i knew it was gon na be a struggle . i just thought we 'd be doing it together . sonny : and you will . dante : i 'm not so sure , sonny . i mean , lulu does n't even want to look at me , let alone talk to me . i mean , what if when we lost our baby , we lost our marriage , too ? carly : spinelli is amazing , and he 's great , and i 'm sure he will do the best he can to take care of that little girl , but he did n't even know that she was his daughter until after she was born . so , just because biology , he 's the only one worthy of custody ? lulu : it was n't just biology . i mean , it played a part in it , but ... the real reason that we lost her is because of dante . dante : lulu 's slipping away , and i ca n't stop her . sonny : sure you can . dante : how ? sonny : if she pushes you away , do n't let her . be there . dante : i 'm not gon na force her to talk to me . sonny : just wear her down until she does . dante : wear her down ? she 's my wife . we 're -- we 're -- we 're a team . at least , we were a team until ... sonny : until what ? dante : [ sighs ] lulu 's convinced i 'm the reason we lost custody . maxie : [ sighs ] i know myself , and i will never stop trying to see my baby . and spinelli is no match for me . i will get him to cave in no time . robin : but if spinelli takes your baby to portland , you might not have that opportunity . you need to think about this . maxie : i have . robin : well , think some more . if spinelli and ellie -- maxie : i know . right ? they 're quirky and smart and their names rhyme . it 's like the nerd gods fated them to be together . robin : if they take you up on your offer and they move across the country , you need to be prepared to live with that . are you ? spinelli : maxie confessed that she 's constantly tempted to defy the judge 's order . sam : no , i get it . if someone tried to take danny from me again , i would move heaven and earth to make sure that did not happen . spinelli : she already showed up here once , and all she wanted to do was -- was to see the baby , to hold her . [ sighs ] took everything in me to deny her access . sam : ooh . i can imagine . spinelli : so , you can see how maxie 's idea makes sense , right ? avoid temptation altogether by putting a continent between her and the baby . sam : i see , but what are you gon na do ? spinelli : i do n't know . ellie and i were up all night trying to figure it out . [ sighs ] you know , sometimes i hate being an adult . sam : [ chuckles ] spinelli : i just wish someone would tell me what to do . sam : well , spinelli , i know it 's not my place , but if it were up to me , i would tell you not to go . kevin : you killed your mother . franco : yeah . kevin : i assume you mean heather webber . franco : yeah , you heard about that , huh ? kevin : i know she made a spectacle at your art show a few weeks ago . must have been quite a shock . franco : ah , come on . nothing major . just , you know ... anything and everything that i ever thought about my life was proven to be a lie . kevin : you also learned the identity of your father , scott baldwin . franco : oh , yeah . that guy . why ? you know him ? kevin : he 's a close friend of my wife 's . and her ex - husband , as a matter of fact . franco : lucy coe ? kevin : you 've met ? franco : briefly . really ? lucy coe was married to my father ? kevin : yes . she was . franco : ooh . what did she ever see in that cold fish of a jerk ? scott : whoa , whoa , whoa . wait a minute , lucy . lucy : [ sighs ] scott : you want to get back with kevin ? lucy : absolutely . scott : but you were so -- scratch that ! you were furious with him ! lucy : yeah , i was . people make mistakes , though . look at us ! we 've made a million of them . and , you know what ? that 's the easy part . you know what the hard part is ? is owning up to them , and that 's what doc just did . he said he made a mistake by putting his patients before me . he is ready to change his life . scott : and you believe him ? lucy : yeah . more than that -- i love him , and he loves me . this -- this is incredible . scott : wait a minute , lucy . what -- what about me ? maxie : that judge was furious with me . and for argument sake , let 's just say that it does go my way . six months for me is like forever . robin : [ chuckles ] six minutes for you is like forever . maxie : at the cemetery , you said that i 'm strong , but i 'm not . robin : maxie . sending your daughter away so that spinelli wo n't lose her is so brave . you 're incredibly strong . maxie : well , it helped having you home . i know that . robin : [ chuckles ] maxie : and you do n't have to worry about me . we promised each other that we would survive , and that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . rob : okay . maxie : now , enough about me . i need to know what 's going on with you and patrick . robin : oh . i did something really stupid . kevin : that cold fish of a jerk has been in my life for some time now . franco : on purpose ? kevin : mainly through lucy . franco : yeah ? all right . okay . so , then , you do n't like the guy , either , then , do you ? kevin : we 're not discussing my relationship with lucy . no , we 're taking it back to heather . franco : i mean , we kind of are . kevin : what happened ? franco : okay . um ... heather came to my hotel room to threaten carly jacks , my girlfriend . see , heather does n't -- did n't want me to be with carly . kevin : why not ? franco : i do n't know . she was never clear about that . but she was clear about all the rest , believe me . i mean , we 're talking phone calls and dead roses and death threats , and i warned her . i warned heather . i said , `` you [ sighs ] make a move on carly , and i will kill you . `` but she just would n't listen . kevin : so , heather attacked carly . franco : no , no . first , she got me out of my hotel room so that she could threaten -- kill c -- i figured out something was wrong , and , so , i rushed back into the room and there was heather standing there , with a knife ! kevin : was carly hurt ? franco : no , carly was in the shower , thankfully . carly does n't even know what happened . kevin : so , you got back to your room , and there 's heather with a knife . franco : yes , about to kill carly . kevin : what happened then ? franco : we argued , and i -- i got the knife away from her , and i killed her . i stabbed her . i had to stop her . she was n't gon na stop until she killed carly . i had to kill heather , to save carly . carly : the judge gave custody to spinelli because of dante ? dante : you were there . you saw how ugly that got . first maxie gets raked through the coals , then lulu . i could n't stand to see diane tear into her like that . carly : they accused you of killing your child ? you were a child yourself ! and the abortion was legal . lulu : it did n't end there . carly : okay , is this where dante comes in ? lulu : [ sighs ] during one of my many face - offs with maxie since this all started , i told her that i tried to get dante to leave the country . carly : with you and the baby . lulu : obviously , we did n't do it . it was one of those , like , heat of the moment things , and maxie told her lawyer . carly : and diane asked you about it under oath . lulu : i was terrified that i would look unfit . dante : so , lulu lied . she swore she never said that to maxie , that maxie was making it up . i do n't even know why i 'm saying this to you . you were there . sonny : sometimes you got to go over things just to make sense of it all . dante : yeah , well , it does n't make any sense to lulu . she 's never gon na understand why i did what i did . lulu : dante was on the stand , and he did everything that he could to dodge the question , but the more he drew it out , the more i knew that he was n't gon na back me , and he did n't back me . lulu : he told the judge that i lied . carly : [ sighs ] lulu : and then the judge said that our petition was denied . and i argued with him . i knew that i should n't , but i could n't help myself , and that 's when the judge said that i hurt the case by perjuring myself . carly : that must have been really awful for you . lulu : if dante had just backed me up , we would n't have lost our little girl . carly : you think this is dante 's fault . lulu : is n't it ? scott : what we did last night -- that does n't mean anything to you ? lucy : of course it does . it [ chuckles ] was beautiful , and i will never , ever forget last night . and we are always gon na be connected , i mean , though our daughter , and i -- i hope through our friendship . because , pal , that 's all we can ever be , is just friends . so , what do you say ? can we just please stay friends ? please ? kevin : well , it sounds like you acted to protected carly . franco : i did , yes . kevin : an uninvited woman was in your room ... with a weapon . you had no choice . franco : [ sighs ] thank you . kevin : i assume the police agree ? franco : uh , well , i did n't call the police . kevin : why not ? franco : um , `` hello , mr. policeman , nice to meet you . i 'm franco . `` if i tell them that i just stabbed my mother , then , you know , hasta la vista to the brain tumor defense . they 're not even gon na ask me why i did it . they 're just gon na throw me in a jail cell for the rest of my life . kevin : so , heather 's dead and nobody knows . franco : that is correct . kevin : what did you do with the body ? franco : i buried it . kevin : where ? franco : in a cemetery . kevin : you -- you -- you transported her body to a cemetery , and you dug a grave ? franco : no , okay , that 's the weird part . when i got there , there was already a freshly dug grave for me . dante : you know , i guess i should have backed lulu up , no matter what the cost , right ? that 's what you would have done . sonny : i 'm not you . i 'm not a cop . dante : well , i honestly do n't think it would have made any difference . sonny : but lulu does . dante : that 's not the only reason she 's upset . sonny : what do you mean ? dante : well , she -- she wanted to know why i could lie for you , but i could n't lie for her . sonny : that was a different situation . dante : yeah . you know , i perjured myself because the thought of telling the truth would cause so much pain to the people that i love . you know , that 's something i got to carry around with me every day for the rest of my life . and maybe it makes me a hypocrite , but i did n't want to see lulu have to carry around a lie like that . sonny : especially if it was n't gon na do any good . look , i did n't say anything at the time , but i always thought this custody was a long shot . dante : oh , yeah , i know . we -- we lost custody way before we ever set foot in that courtroom , but lulu ca n't accept that . sonny : but in time she will . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . dante : i do n't know . you have n't , uh ... you have n't seen her , sonny . she 's in agony . sonny : she 's not the only one . dante : i want to help her , but i , you know -- she would n't let me go near her . [ chuckles ] i mean , what does she think ? i wanted us to lose our daughter ? lulu : you should be laughing in my face right now . carly : why would i do that ? lulu : you know why . [ sighs ] i was -- i was so smug , i was so self - righteous that day when dante barged into sonny 's trial and announced that michael killed claudia . sonny was standing trial for a murder he did n't commit , and you were perjuring yourself to save your son , and there i was , preaching about dante 's reasonability as a cop , and how it was the right thing to do to tell the truth , like i had some idea what it would be like to fight for your child . but i know now . carly : you know what ? losing a child -- there 's nothing worse . i get that you want to lash out . i do . [ chuckles ] but you and dante -- you guys need each other right now . he 's suffering , too . lulu : i just miss her so much . i just miss holding her , loving her . i feel like a piece of my heart has disappeared . [ crying ] what am i supposed to do without her ? carly : oh , i 'm so sorry . robin : so , i asked sabrina to let patrick go , because it would be easier for him if he did n't have to break her heart . maxie : easier for him to come back to you , where he belongs . what 's so stupid about that ? robin : well , for starters , she said no . that it 's patrick 's decision , not hers . maxie : that does n't mean it was a bad idea . robin : but who am i to think that i 'm more important than sabrina ? maxie : um , you 're patrick 's wife and the mother of his child . robin : what if that 's not enough anymore ? maxie : what if what 's not enough ? robin : maxie , it 's been two years . i mean , he could choose sabrina . maxie : he wo n't . robin : how can you be so sure about that ? maxie : i just am . and once patrick realizes that it 's you , that it 's always been you , you will know he chose you because he really loves you , not because sabrina made things easier on him and bowed out gracefully . robin : [ sighs ] i really hope you 're right . maxie : oh , please . i 'm always right . fine . this time i 'm right . i know it . spinelli : port charles has truly become my home . thanks to you and jason . connie : [ whines ] sam : here you go , baby . spinelli : you two were the first to make me feel like i actually belonged . and i have family here , thanks to you . sam : thanks to me ? come on , spinelli . you have family here because you are a loveable guy . spinelli : how could i even consider leaving that ? sam : for ellie . she is perfect for you . spinelli : well , you would know , after being witness to my many crushes . sam : oh , come on . they were n't all crushes . spinelli : i feel ready to give my entire heart and soul to another person , or , uh ... [ chuckling ] two people , as it were . [ sighs ] i just wish i knew where to do it . sam : how about this ? can you see yourself in portland , raising a family there ? spinelli : yeah , i can . and it 's a beautiful sight . but can i really leave my family here in port charles , with so many people that i love ? with you ? dante : i love connie , too . she was everything i ever wanted . this tiny , little , pink bundle . [ chuckles ] i wake up at night , thinking she 's crying , and i do n't know if she needs a diaper or if she needs to be fed , or something like that . she 's not even there . she 's never gon na be there . i 've never -- [ sighs ] oh , man . i 've never hated silence so much in my life as i do right now . i 'd like to just hear her cry . you know what i mean ? sonny : yeah . dante : oh , man ! [ voice breaking ] there 's this , like , emptiness right here . [ sniffles ] i ca n't feel it , you know ? it just kind of ... [ sniffles ] it just kind of hangs there . and , uh ... i 'm dealing with this all on my own because lulu does n't want to talk to me , and she does n't want to grieve with me . sonny : listen ... i know this is n't exactly the same thing , but i kind of know where you 're coming from a little bit 'cause -- what it feels like to -- to -- to have nobody . but i want you to know you got me . you always got me . sonny : no . dante : [ sighs ] sonny : hey . dante : guess i needed to get it out . sonny : that 's good . that 's good . you got it out . now , what are you gon na do about it ? sonny : you guys ca n't wallow in what 's going on here . i did that when connie died , and look where it got me . dante : i agree with you , but i still do n't know what the hell i 'm supposed to do . sonny : you got to take action . you got to jump - start your marriage . dante : [ chuckles ] okay . all right , i 'm open to any ideas , suggestions . sonny : you 'll figure it out . i have faith in you . dante : i 'm glad someone does . sonny : hey , listen to me . you 're my son . you 're strong . you can do this . and lulu can , too . carly : i would n't wish this pain on you ever . you know ? i do know you 're strong enough to survive this , and it will get easier , especially if you let somebody help you . lulu : by `` somebody , `` you mean dante . carly : you said it . i did n't . lulu : [ sighs ] why were you asking for help with franco , of all people ? you hate that guy . carly : oh . um ... things have changed between franco and me . lulu : are you seeing him ? carly : he 's hit rock bottom , and he 's looking for a job , and i just thought if you needed to hire a bartender at the haunted star , that you could hire him . lulu : okay , so , just so we 're clear , you are asking me to hire the man who strapped me to a bomb and tried to blow me up . franco : hey , doc , look . i know that you said that everything that happens here is just between us , but now that i told you -- kevin : i 'm still bound by doctor / patient confidentiality . franco : best rule in medicine . kevin : the only way i could divulge anything is if i believed you were a danger to yourself or to someone else . franco : well , that 's the thing , right ? i - i do n't know . i do n't know if i 'm still dangerous . kevin : do you feel any differently than you did before the tumor was removed ? franco : yeah . trust me , i feel different about everything . and , no , you know , i did n't have those -- those urges , right ? but then , you know , i stabbed my mother , so there 's that . i ca n't tell , you know ? you know , maybe taking the tumor out did n't have anything to do with anything . maybe i 'm just a psycho . kevin : is that how you see yourself , as a psycho ? franco : well , look who my mother is . kevin : your father 's not psychotic . franco : okay , maybe , but he 's not exactly the poster boy for compassion , either . scott : i do n't want to be friends . i want more than that . lucy : [ sighs ] scott : but , if i 'm gon na keep you in my life , what choice do i have ? lucy : [ sighs ] really ? scott : well , i could never say no to you . lucy : [ sighs ] thank you , thank you , thank you . i do n't know what i would do without you in my life . [ chuckles , sniffles ] scott : well , do n't tell kevin we slept together . not only would he not let us be friends , but he would n't let us be in the same room together . lucy : [ sniffles ] you think ? scott : yeah . every time we were alone , he would think that you were cheating on him . lucy : right . yeah . since you put it like that . scott : trust me , lucy . if you tell kevin the truth , it 'll hurt us all . franco : come on , doc . give it to me straight . really , i - i - i can take it , man . just -- just -- just -- i need to know , all right ? i really -- i really need to know who i am right now . kevin : my first impression ... is that killing heather was an isolated incident . as to the rest of it , who you are now , that 's a larger issue -- one to be explored in future sessions . franco : in future sessions ? so , you 'll take me on as a client ? kevin : yes . franco : thank you . thank you . i mean that . thank you . 'cause i really need to sort this out . if i do n't sort this out , i 'm gon na lose carly . she 's the best thing that ever happened to me . lulu : i 'm sorry , carly . i ca n't . carly : okay . franco was n't responsible for the things he did . his brain tumor was . lulu : you bought that ? that his brain tumor made him do it ? carly : he 's not the same man he used to be , okay ? can you just think about it ? will you at least do that , please ? lulu : yeah , fine . carly : and will you not mention it to franco that i was here ? lulu : you definitely do not have to worry about that . carly : thank you .

[ keys rattle ] guard : look alive , jerome . [ cell door opens ] guard : you got company . julian : alexis . alexis : you look fit . julian : well , nothing else to do in here , so ... alexis : would you mind putting on a shirt ? julian : mm . am i , uh , arousing some emotions ? alexis : i did n't come here to banter . julian : then what ? thought you 'd pretty much written me off . alexis : i 'm not here for you or me . i 'm here for my daughter . sam : yeah , i 'm on my way to see detective west now . thank you so much for cleaning up that footage of the pd . i know , i know . you are the best spinelli . are you kidding me ? yes , it is a big deal , especially now that i may have a suspect . jason : keys ! i have n't got all day ! it 's not like i have n't got all day . sam : uh , yeah . i mean , all i need is the evidence to nail him . carly : [ breathes deeply ] jason : can i help you with that ? carly : it 's you . jason : [ chuckles ] i also answer to jake . carly : of course i remember your name . hi , jake . jason : hi , carly . here , let me get this . carly : i 'm sorry . i 'm just a little all over the place . jason : well , that is understandable . i heard about the wedding . carly : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , the wedding is the least of it . it is . i mean , yeah , it was a ... hateful ambush by a psychotic man , who , by the way , everyone warned me to stay away from and to not trust . god , i wish i would 've listened . so i 'm pretty much getting what i deserve for ever going near the freak in the first place . but , you know -- do you know , the good thing about crashing and burning is that you only have one place to go . really , you just have to stand up . you have to stand up , and you have to figure out what you do next , and then you really hold on to the people you love . but guess who 's not doing that . guess who 's not holding on . sonny . johnny : how was your visit with carly ? hmm ? sonny : keeping track of my visitors ? johnny : well , the guard mentioned the beauty that was here to visit sonny -- not that you 've ever been starved for female attention before , but carly 's in a class all by herself . she is the only one who would make the drive all the way up here to see you . sonny : say her name again , johnny . see what happens . johnny : no , no , we can talk about the news . any word on baby corinthos ? or is it ... jerome , is it ? i -- i do n't know . does n't matter . anyway , it must really suck to be at the mercy of a couple of crazies with absolutely nothing you can do about it , huh ? [ exhales sharply ] morgan : we sure this is the place ? silas : it 's the address betsy gave us . apparently , it 's where franco holes up sometimes . kiki : well , hopefully , this is one of those times and that nina 's with him . ava : and my baby . dante : franco ! it 's over , franco . hand over the baby . do n't do that . franco : do n't -- do n't do what ? dante : do n't even think about taking off . franco : well , that is what i was thinking about . how did you do that ? that 's a cool trick . dante : there 's nowhere for you to go , franco . okay ? there 's more law enforcement on the way . franco : well , then i really should be going . it 's so nice to see you . nice meeting you -- dante : you take one more step , you get a bullet in the back . franco : yeah , i do n't think so . you see , i do n't think you 're gon na shoot me , because i 'm holding a baby . check it out . i can tell what you 're thinking , too . later , guys . dante : damn it . silas : think it 's our best move to split up . morgan : he 's right . i think a couple of us should stay here and a couple of us should go in . ava : right . in case they decide to run . kiki : right . that sounds like a good plan . so who wants to go where ? dante : franco ! franco , stop ! morgan : you son of a bitch . ava : oh , my god . my baby . julian : something happen to sam ? is danny okay ? alexis : danny 's fine . julian : okay . i thought you said something was wrong . alexis : my daughter , not our daughter . i have two other daughters . remember ? julian : well , then i can only assume this is about molly . alexis : and why would you presume that ? is it because you 've never met kristina or because you railroaded molly 's father , and he 's dead as a result ? julian : yeah . she must be going out of her mind with that , knowing that ric was innocent all along . look , alexis , i never wanted to frame ric . alexis : i know . you told me . it was all faison . you were totally helpless . julian : i was complicit . and if i pretended otherwise , i 'm sorry . i wish that i 'd neutralized him . unfortunately , there 's nothing i can do about that now . ric is dead . alexis : wrong . ric is alive . elizabeth : sam . hey . sam : hey . elizabeth : i saw what happened at the police station last night . are you okay ? sam : yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . i mean , i got a couple bruises , but that 's about it . elizabeth : oh , my god . i still ca n't get over it . sam : yeah , i know . me too . elizabeth : who was that guy ? do the police have any leads ? sam : um , actually , i do n't know if they do . but i might . jason : i know your ex - husband 's in prison . carly : you know why ? i mean , i know that you 've read the headlines . sonny pled guilty for killing our son 's biological father , aj quartermaine . jason : uh , that sounds horrible . carly : aj was a drunk , okay ? he was . he was a one - man wrecking crew who left destruction wherever he went . the night he was shot , sonny walked in on him trying to strangle a woman with his bare hands , and legally , that would be considered mitigating circumstances . if sonny went to trial , he could 've walked . but instead , he -- he pled guilty . you know why he pled guilty ? to save me from being charged with obstruction of justice . jason : [ clears throat ] here . yeah , really ca n't blame the man for trying to save you . carly : i can . because i was willing to take my chances , and sonny did n't give me that choice . he did n't , because sonny did what he wanted to do , and sonny always does what he wants to do , and he 's been doing that since i met him , but this time ... he 's wrong . okay ? this time he 's wrong , because he ca n't tell me what to do , and he ca n't tell me who to love , and he ca n't tell me when to give up . do you hear me ? 'cause i wo n't do it . jason : i hear you . carly : you hear me . sonny did n't . he told me he does n't want me to come visit him again . johnny : man , who would 've thought , huh ? the great sonny corinthos , powerless , no control over what happens to his own flesh and blood . that reminds me -- what 's the verdict on that whole thing , anyway ? you the daddy ? huh ? granddaddy ? [ chuckling ] wait , wait , wait . no , no , no . christmas is gon na be awkward , right ? you got the whole corinthos clan gathered around the jailhouse vending machine -- ohh ! all right . sonny : you 've been real chatty since you landed in here . johnny : you 've been busy . what is that , a toothbrush ? sonny : sharp enough to cut your throat . johnny : all right , good call , arming yourself . i guess you had no choice . sonny : is that right ? johnny : yeah . i mean , once you realized none of your old cronies would come riding to your rescue . man , what 's it like , sonny ? for the first time in your life , you got no pull . how 's that feel , huh ? sonny : it feels like it 's all about to change once i cut your tongue out and make it into a trophy . julian : ric was shot right here , trying to escape . alexis : that 's what anna devane wanted everyone to believe , particularly you and faison . julian : so this whole thing was a smokescreen ? alexis : anna caught on to your scheme to cover up for your boss by framing ric . julian : so , was this before or after she arrested him ? alexis : after . julian : so this whole time , anna knew that ric was n't running the organization , that he was innocent ? why in the hell did she let him take the fall ? alexis : to buy time . she wanted you and faison to think you were in the clear , hoping that you would make a mistake , which would allow her to flush out who the real boss was . she also wanted to keep ric safe , as well as his family . julian : so , this whole time ... molly 's father 's been alive . you know , i thought i was gon na have to carry that burden for the rest of my life , alexis . alexis : well , i would n't unload that burden just yet . julian : and why is that ? alexis : well , ric is alive , yes , but now he has just up and disappeared . franco : hey ! hey ! you stay right where you are . do n't take another step ! you come closer , i 'll -- i 'll throw this baby right on the ground . ava : you 're a monster ! morgan : franco , if she has so much as a scratch on her head , i will kill you . kiki : do not do this , franco , please ! franco : do what ? ! i 'm not doing anything ! if you would just leave us alone , nina and i , we just want to take this baby and go and get on with our lives ! morgan : delusional , man ! ava : she 's mine . franco : oh , yeah . you 'd be such a great mother from prison . silas : did you happen to see nina ? dante : no , i think she 's upstairs . ava : i have no intention of going to prison . i am gon na be here for my baby . dante : franco , how do you envision this ending , man ? franco : i do n't know . you tell me . how does this end ? ava : franco ... we meant something to each other once , did n't we ? franco : yeah . so much so that you tried to kill me . ava : i 'm sorry . franco : and you lied to me . not like a little bit . you lied to me -- for like 20 years , you lied to me ! ava : sorry . i was wrong . i deserve to be punished but not like this . please let her go . my daughter needs me . she needs her family . franco : she has a family . she has two parents who love her and will take care of her . she does n't belong to you anymore . she belongs to me and nina . silas : nina . i know you 're in there . open up . it 's silas . elizabeth : you think you know who grabbed you ? sam : i 'm following up on a potential suspect . elizabeth : based on what ? was n't he wearing a mask ? sam : at one point , he told the police that he did n't have all day , and just a little while ago , he used the same expression with me . elizabeth : wh -- wait . you 've encountered this man again ? sam : at the metro court . elizabeth : do you know who he is ? sam : you do , too . elizabeth : who ? sam : it 's your new friend , your houseguest -- jake . jason : did he give you a reason ? carly : he 's trying to be noble . which is crazy , because sonny -- he 's not noble . he 's not . brave , yes . ruthless , absolutely . arrogant , loyal , selfish , infuriating -- all of the above . but this crazy idea that he 's trying to sacrifice himself -- i mean , that 's just crazy because sonny does n't do that . that 's not who sonny is . sacrificing himself for what ? carly : our son . michael -- he 's -- he 's cut us out of his life . jason : you know , i met michael . carly : you did ? jason : it was the night before the wedding that did n't happen , in the hospital . i had over - tired myself and could n't make it back to my room , and your son , he just appeared out of nowhere and offered to push me back . we got to talking , and he told me he also had a traumatic brain injury . was in a coma . you know , he actually gave me some pretty great advice . something about letting people help me even when i do n't want them to . carly : i miss him . i miss him . um ... really hard to explain . he 's my firstborn , and he 's just been my reason for everything , and now he ... he wo n't even look at me . jason : your ex is trying to fix that ? carly : he says the only way michael will forgive me if i turn my back on him . jason : what do you think ? carly : i 'm sorry . did you just ask me my opinion ? did you just ask me what i thought ? jason : mm - hmm . carly : 'cause sonny did n't . he did n't . he just decided that if i come up to pentonville to see him , he will refuse the visit . yeah . i love him , and he 's the father of my two sons , and i may never see him again . and that 's just the way it is . jason : i get it . carly : could you tell me , enlighten me ? 'cause i do n't understand it at all . jason : well , i 've never met your ex - husband , but , uh ... he 's a powerful guy , right ? used to giving orders , being in charge ? carly : yeah . jason : well , cutting you off and sending you back to your son is the only power he 's got left . carly : well , so , what are you saying ? i should give sonny what he thinks he wants , and i should just walk away and let him go ? is that what you 're telling me i should do ? jason : i 'm not telling you to do anything . besides , i do n't think you 'd listen to me , anyway . carly : i do n't listen to anybody . [ both laugh ] carly : neither does sonny . you know , that 's why we were always -- or one of the reason we were so perfect for each other . all right , you know what ? i ca n't think anymore , and i 'm gon na get another drink . jason : okay . carly : but , of course , the bartender is nowhere to be found , which is why , um ... i need to hire another one . jason : actually , that 's why i came here . i 'm looking for a job . carly : as a bartender ? jason : well , if that 's what 's available . carly : oh . well , you have the listening part down . jason : [ chuckles ] carly : let 's see . ah . let 's see if you can make a decent martini . elizabeth : you think jake is the man who held you at gunpoint ? sam : the point is , he was at the metro court , waiting for carly , and he told me , `` it 's not like i have n't got all day . `` elizabeth : okay . wait . so , your evidence is a phrase that people say ? and you think that 's enough to suggest jake put on a mask and grabbed a gun , took you hostage , broke faison out of custody ... ? sam : yes . i do . jason : gin or vodka ? carly : surprise me . jason : surprise you . all right . wet or dry ? carly : dry as the sahara . and make it really dirty . jason : really dirty . jason : you got it . uh , would you like it shaken or stirred ? carly : shaken . and put your back into it . jason : yes , ma'am . carly : [ chuckles ] you want it on the rocks or up or ... ? i got it . i 'm just gon na ... [ chuckles ] there we go . and here we go -- one absolutely desert - dry , filthy martini , a la jake , and just a little bit more for the bar . heh . enjoy . carly : cheers . carlos : that drink could be dirtier . it 's nowhere foul enough for this bruja . julian : i thought you said ric was in protective custody . alexis : he was , up until a few days ago . with faison taken down and his empire crumbled , they deemed it safe for ric to come out of hiding . i was so close to telling molly all about this , and then i got a call from anna . julian : okay . well , what happened ? alexis : nobody knows . the handlers went in to extract ric , and the place looked like a bomb had gone off in it , and there was no sign of ric . julian : and this makes them think he was taken ? alexis : was he ? julian : you 're asking me ? alexis : for all i know , you 're the one behind it . sonny : one flick of the wrist , i 'm kind of pentonville . johnny : eh , your reign will be the shortest on record . sonny : i can do short , i can do swee -- [ clattering ] johnny : slash away , sonny ! unless you got something you want to live for , huh ? you want to save your family the pain of knowing you died a slow , excruciatingly painful death , huh ? michael probably wo n't care , but kristina , carly , morgan ... unless you think they can handle it . go ahead ! all right , all right , all right . sensible decision , sonny . [ breathes deeply ] i 'm about to give you the chance to make another one . sonny : no , thanks . i 'm all set . johnny : you got a lot on your plate right now , sonny . you got the missing child , got to worry about staying alive in here , et cetera , et cetera . i 'm about to ease your burden . your organization needs running , right ? who better to run it than me ? nina : silas , you should n't be here . silas : too late . nina : why did you come ? silas : to talk to you . you gon na let me in ? nina : um ... no , i ca n't do that , because franco 's gon na be back soon , and i do n't -- i do n't think he 'd be happy to see you . silas : forget about franco . he 's not coming back . nina : what do you mean ? silas : look , no one 's gon na stop us from talking this out as husband and wife . it 's just us now , nina -- you and me . all you have to do is open the door . ava : franco , please , i 'll do anything -- anything you want . you can hurt me , you can torture me -- kiki : no , no ! mom , do n't say that , okay ? franco 's not going to do any of that , right ? dante : franco . hey , i will tell you how this ends . you surrender that child , and we take you into custody . franco : no , that 's not how it ends . there are so many other possibilities . i like the ending where ava and morgan are miserable . morgan : give us our little girl now . franco : you want her so bad ... catch . ava : no ! oh , my -- why did you do that , franco ? ! morgan : what the hell is this ? franco : it 's flour . ava : where is my baby ? ! silas : the baby 's with you . nina : yeah . she 's my baby . not biologically . i know that . but she was meant to be my baby after my mom took mine away . silas : you deserve a child . nina : i 'm owed a child . silas : we both are . we were supposed to have a baby , nina -- you and me , not -- not you and franco . why do n't you let me join you ? we 'll raise this little girl together . nina : but i thought -- silas : we can still be the family we were supposed to be , the three of us , together . nina : you just came for the baby . you just want the baby . silas : i came 'cause i want you to be happy . i want all your pain to go away . nina : then why do you keep on hurting me ? silas : i know . i 'm sorry . you know , when i found out that you had lied to me , i just -- i could n't get past it , but i can now . nina : you lied to me , too . silas : i know . i made a lot of mistakes , nina . not anymore . never again . i promise . nina : is this really what you want ? silas : yes . you , me , and our child . so , what do you say ? may i please hold our daughter ? ava : what the hell have you done with my daughter , franco ? where is she ? franco : she 's safe . morgan : tell us where she is ! franco : angry man . i 'm not sure what kind of a parent you 'd be . dante : that 's nothing compared to her uncle . franco : maybe uncle . i mean , this little bundle of flour could be -- kiki : stop it with your mind games , franco . tell us where the baby is . come on ! why are you doing this to my -- you 're gon na do what she did to you ? let her be with her daughter ! franco : she 's upstairs with nina . ava : oh ! dante : robert frank , you are under arrest for stalking , assault , and kidnapping of a child . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you free of charge . do you understand these rights as i have explained them to you ? kiki : well , franco ? franco : yeah , i get it . kiki : [ scoffs ] sonny : real selfless of you , johnny -- offering to , uh , take over my organization . johnny : yeah , well , i 'm all about self - improvement these days . sonny : does n't seem to be working . johnny : ouch . sonny : the fact that you think that you can run things from inside of pentonville makes me laugh . no , thank you . i can make do . johnny : do n't you mean lavery will make do ? sonny , i did some looking around , and i heard you did some delegating . lavery -- i do n't think that he has the cojones to manage your holdings . sonny : you can take that offer and shove it where the sun do n't shine . johnny : all right . all right . we 'll revisit this on a later date . soon enough , you will be listening to reason , same as the jeromes . julian : i had nothing to do with ric 's disappearance . alexis : is that so ? julian : look , i did n't even know the man was alive until a couple of minutes ago . alexis : i 'm supposed to believe that ? julian : alexis , everything 's out in the open right now . everybody knows everything about everything . i have no reason to lie to you . alexis : what about your pal faison ? does he know something about ric ? julian : it 's possible . alexis : but unlikely ? julian : let 's put it this way . he 's never betrayed any hint that he 's been duped . then again , we were n't exactly confidants . alexis : maybe faison figured it out after his escape . julian : then went after ric ? for what ? alexis : to tie up loose ends . julian : and risk capture ? there is no upside . look , ric was just a patsy with no information and certainly none that could hurt faison . look , i know why you 're asking . you care about ric . you want answers for molly . but this is a reach . alexis : you swear that you had nothing to do with this ? julian : you have my word . alexis : right . for whatever that 's worth . elizabeth : sam , i am sorry , but this is absurd . sam : why ? elizabeth : there is no way jake is the one who took you hostage yesterday . sam : can you account for his whereabouts ? can he ? elizabeth : he was job hunting , just like he is today . sam : can you vouch for that ? elizabeth : i 'm sure someone can . sam : but just not you . elizabeth : okay , you know what ? you need to back off . i am not his babysitter , and not that it matters , but the man simply is not capable of doing what you 're suggesting . sam : excuse me . why are you -- how -- how on earth do you sound so confident about this ? elizabeth : he just got out of the hospital , sam , with broken bones and internal injuries . it 's a miracle he can walk . he 's not gon na go battle the pd . it is n't him . sam : elizabeth , what makes you so sure that jake is a good guy ? i mean , how well do you really know him ? jason : do you need an assist ? carly : no . i 'm good . jason : okay . carly : carlos . carlos : you remember my name . i 'm flattered . i figured out of sight , out of mind . i mean , better to forget i ever existed than to live with the memory of sending an innocent man to prison . carly : i had nothing to do with you going to pentonville . carlos : and you just stood by and watched . carly : you confessed . carlos : ava forced me to . i did n't kill aj . sonny did . and you knew that . carly : i 'm sorry for what you went through . carlos : [ chuckles ] carly : but like you , i did n't have a choice , okay ? carlos : hey , hey . carly : what do you want from me ? carlos : what do i want from you ? carly : yes . carlos : i want you to suffer the way i did . jason : that 's enough . carlos : you stay out of this , cachorro . jason : i said that 's enough . okay ? sam : jake came here with no id , no memory . you do n't know anything about this guy . elizabeth : it does n't make him a criminal . sam : he could be dangerous , and if he is who i think he is , then you 're in a -- elizabeth : why would he stick around ? sam : what ? elizabeth : does n't it make sense that whoever broke faison out of custody would have gotten on that boat , not hung out here in port charles , waiting to get caught ? sam : listen , i - i understand there are a lot of unanswered questions . that 's what i 'm trying to figure out . elizabeth : by chasing half - baked theories . sam : okay , you think that i 'm grasping at straws . i get it . i - i guess we 're gon na have to agree to disagree on this one . elizabeth : it 's making you look foolish , sam . sam : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : and it 's making jake look even worse . if you were smart , you 'd drop it . jason : she said she was sorry . be a gentleman . accept her apology . carlos : who the hell is this guy ? carly : jake , it 's okay . jason : `` i accept your apology , ms. corinthos jacks . `` you can do it . carlos : [ chuckles ] i accept your apology , ms. corinthos jacks . jason : there we go . good man . now you can take your business elsewhere . carlos : i 'll be seeing you . both of you . jason : looking forward to it . carly : that was interesting . jason : yeah , it was . [ clears throat ] sorry if i made a scene in your place . carly : no . my god , you had my back . thank you . jason : you 're welcome .

[ sighs ] nina : but ? dillon : but if i was constantly defending a girl that i like , it would be exhausting , and eventually , i would start to wonder if i really liked this girl or if i 'm just refusing to admit that i was wrong about having feelings for her in the first place . nina : wow . if defending someone you love exhausts you , you 're doing something really wrong . [ scene_break ] nathan : hey , hey , hey . dante : who are you to call yourself a victim ? huh ? valentin : you think i wanted this ? d - do you ? lulu : oh , you 'll get no sympathy from me ! you 've kept my daughter from me for years ! dante : you 've been playing us since the start ! this is all part of the cassadine sick obsession they 've had with the spencers for what -- since the beginning of time ? valentin : i have had no dealings with the spencers until charlotte . your family eliminated my father and my brother , and for that , i 'm truly grateful . stavros and mikkos were monsters . lulu : oh , but not you , right ? valentin : i did n't kidnap you . i did not harvest your eggs and create an embryo . i do not regret my daughter . i would never regret charlotte . but i was used the same way you were and by the same person . this is all helena 's doing .

[ cell phone rings ] kiki : hello ? franco : hey , it 's me . uh , can you meet me at crimson ? kiki : now ? franco : yeah . look , i know it 's short notice , but it 's really important . kiki : yeah . yeah , i can -- i can meet you . i 'll see you soon . franco : where you going ? you leaving ? kiki : [ sighs ] yeah . i , uh , think you have this under control . franco : i do . kiki : franco ? franco : mm - hmm ? kiki : what you 're doing for elizabeth is good , and the fact that you 're committed to not getting violent is growth . and i promise that i wo n't say anything about luring baker here . but you have to promise me that you 're not gon na do anything stupid . franco : no , no , no , i do . i promise you . i really thought about what i 'm gon na do . and this is all about moving forward .

[ scene_break ] maxie : yeah , it 's helena 's fault . let 's blame the person who 's dead and ca n't deny it . valentin : it 's the truth . helena promised stavros a baby with you , lulu . when she found out he could n't father a child , rather than be honest , she went about creating a baby she could pass off as his . dante : so she recruited you ? lulu : that does n't make any sense . my father said that helena was terrified of you . valentin : good . i hated the bitch . i would have killed her and whistled while i did it . she recruited someone else . i think you met her on the island . lulu : daphne ? valentin : daphne . she seduced me , kept a sample , and delivered it to helena . maxie : and yet you did n't stop to ask yourself why your one - night stand was keeping a test tube in her purse ? valentin : she drugged me . by the time i realized what happened , charlotte had already been conceived . dante : well , you just have an explanation for everything , do n't you ? nathan : no , no , no . not everything . not claudette . [ scene_break ] griffin : yeah , i 've , uh , been concerned about franco since i 've had to pull him off tom baker the other day . elizabeth : yeah , he has trouble controlling his impulses . griffin : in all fairness , he was trying to protect you . elizabeth : i know , but the problem is , i do n't need protecting . some people see me as a victim , someone who 's helpless , in need of shelter and protection . but i 'm not . [ knock on door ] tom : hello ? elizabeth : i do n't need anyone fighting my battles . tom : kiki ? franco : hey . like it ? i painted it just for you . hey , buddy . you there ? huh ? ca n't talk ? that 's good . [ scene_break ] nathan : you keep claiming that you 're -- you 're innocent here , that helena used you and you had no idea what was going on , but that does n't explain how claudette ended up carrying charlotte . valentin : i was appalled and furious when i learned what helena had done . i stole the embryo before she could go through the implantation . dante : and then you just went on your merry way and now you 're the hero ? lulu : you could have told me . you could have come to me . valentin : no . not after what stavros and helena had done to you . i just wanted to make sure i could be with my daughter . so i recruited claudette to act as a surrogate . lulu : were you ever gon na tell me ? you 're gon na let me spend my entire life never knowing that i had a daughter ? valentin : if there was a plan , i would never have approached you until my claim on charlotte was irrefutable and well - established . nathan : claudette had plans of her own . valentin : yes . she took advantage of my legal problems to take off with my daughter . nathan : she -- she wanted to protect her . valentin : she had no right to protect anyone from anything . she was not charlotte 's mother . lulu is . and now you know . and you are free ... to be with your little girl . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know what you 're gon na say , jason , but i ca n't . i ca n't -- i ca n't tell her . it -- it would just hurt her too much . jason : sonny . sonny : mor -- morgan ... i mean , he 's still with us every minute of the day , and we 're just now getting above water and now this . do you get what i 'm saying ? jason : i get what you 're saying . it was a mistake . sonny : [ sighs ] jason : people do crazy things . it happened , but you love carly , she loves you , you can come back from it . sonny : [ chuckles ] not if -- not if she knows about it now , 'cause she would not understand . i barely understand . jason : grief makes people do crazy things , okay ? and -- and if you just explain it to carly , i 'm sure she 'll come around and she 'll understand , and she 's made mistakes before , too . sonny : carly came back -- she came back here the other day . she stood up for me with ava . not that it means anything , you know . i thought there might be a chance that we 're getting back together . but i tell you what ... if i tell carly that i slept with her assistant ... jason : what if nelle tells her ? [ scene_break ] michael : were we followed ? nelle : no , no . i think we lost the guy you brained with your flip - flop . michael : oh , yeah . that -- that was n't on purpose , all right ? i was -- i was just dancing . nelle : oh , is that what you call it ? michael : [ chuckles ] wait till you see my hustle . nelle : i do n't think your aunt tracy could handle that . she almost fell over when she saw your shirt . michael : yeah . [ sighs ] actually , it takes a lot to shake up aunt tracy . nelle : yeah , well , that room could use some shaking up . i mean , that is an uptight group of people that you run with . michael : oh , i - i promise you . they -- they are not my people . they 're just people i do business with . that 's it . nelle : oh . well , you run among them very easily . michael : yeah , well , i guess it 's in my blood -- family business and all . nelle : [ chuckles ] michael : you ca n't tell me , though , that teachers do n't have their fair share of boring work functions . this ca n't be that foreign to you . nelle : well , i have n't been to many ballrooms , no . um , if that were the case and we had that much money , then my parents would n't have had to sell my kidney to pay the bills , so ... michael : right . [ sighs ] nelle : oh , god . michael -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to -- i 'm sorry . you know what ? i - i really am having a really good time . i just -- i did n't mean to bring the mood down . michael : oh , that 's okay . you have nothing to apologize for . you have every reason to be upset about what happened to you . nelle : yeah , but you know what ? it 's over . michael : [ sighs ] you know , i - i wonder a lot about it , though . how -- how you can -- how you can stand to be around my family . nelle : what do you mean ? michael : [ scoffs ] is n't there , like , a part of you that -- that resents us for what happened to you ? a part of you that blames us ? [ scene_break ] dillon : you do n't want the job ? kiki : dillon , i appreciate you sticking your neck out for me , but it 's not a good idea , i mean , working here . dillon : with me , you mean ? kiki : we would be seeing too much of each other . dillon : we see each other a lot as it is , and the last time i checked , you needed a job . at last being nina 's assistant would give you a steady paycheck until you find something permanent . kiki : and you 'd get to see me without having to fake a flat tire . dillon : are you accusing me of manipulating you ? kiki : are you ? dillon : okay , look . nina said that she needed an assistant . i thought of you , all right ? if you do n't want the job , that 's fine . you are free to walk , okay ? but maybe instead of accusing me of having ulterior motives , you should take a look at your own . kiki : what 's that supposed to mean ? dillon : it means that you 're steering clear of me to punish yourself for choosing me over morgan . kiki : [ slaps dillon ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i mean , nelle ... she 's not an issue 'cause she considers this as a big mistake just like i do . jason : then you should tell carly about the mistake . look , i 'm not gon na lie . she 's gon na be pissed at first , sure , but what you two have is much stronger than just some random night with a girl . sonny : i want to be straight with carly . i want -- i do n't want any lies between us . but there is no future if this gets out . jason : [ sighs ] sonny , it 's not a matter of `` if . `` one way or the other , the truth always comes out . [ scene_break ] nelle : michael , i do n't feel any ill will towards your family . yeah , i mean , it sucks not being able to drink at parties , but , you know , i 've only got one life , and that life has brought me here to port charles , to josslyn , you , your mom , sonny , and for that , i am glad . michael : well , good . i 'm glad , too . [ scene_break ] kiki : dillon , i 'm so sorry . really , i did n't mean to -- dillon : yes , you did ! good luck finding a job . kiki : dillon , please wait . hey . wait . dillon , please . please do n't go ! nina : what -- just let him go . kiki : we just had an argument . nina : yeah , i could see that . kiki : all i was trying to do was tell him that i could n't take the assistant job , and he would n't take no for an answer , so everything just spiraled from there . nina : kiki , what do you expect ? he 's crazy about you . [ scene_break ] griffin : you know , it 's interesting that you think people view you as , uh ... elizabeth : frail ? needy ? griffin : i 've never seen you that way . and i doubt franco has , either . if anything , i think franco is worried about being good enough for you . elizabeth : he has a complicated history . griffin : you know , maybe franco going after tom baker was n't just about protecting you . maybe it was just another way for franco to show the world he 's not the man he used to be . [ scene_break ] tom : what ? franco : please do n't move . have to stay perfectly still if i 'm gon na capture your likeness . tom : [ breathes heavily ] what is this ? dog crate . franco : i had a dog once ... for like a minute . poor little thing . and it was . it was , like , a little dog . i had to go up three sizes for this thing . it 's called the super max . really . that 's what they call it . it 's for , like , a great dane or a mastiff . now it 's your home away from home . tom : what the hell ? franco : now , now . take it easy . tom : let me out of here . franco : really , stop . you 're gon na hurt yourself . tom : i 'll kill you ! franco : really ? that 's what you 're gon na do , tom baker ? huh ? tom : ugh ! franco : you 're gon na kill me ? ugh ! really ? tom : ah ! ugh ! [ scene_break ] dante : you know , maxie was right . it 's all well and good for you to blame everything you did on helena , but it 's not gon na keep you out of prison . valentin : believe what you want , detective . dante : what you did was criminal . valentin : i saved my girl from a life under helena 's thumb . charlotte is my only concern . if you want to see her , you know where we are . [ scene_break ] kiki : does dillon talk to you about me ? nina : oh , kiki , of course , he does . but even if he did n't , it would n't matter . i mean , i have eyes . he 's crazy about you . kiki : i like dillon . he 's been great to me , and ... if things were different ... nina : but they 're not different . right ? well , you know , you and i both know that there is no rulebook to grieving . you just ... keep on doing it until you 're done . then you move on , and hopefully move on to someone charming ... ... and intelligent ... ... and handsome ... and so great . kiki : you mean someone like dillon . nina : someone like dillon . kiki : and what happens if ... by the time the grieving is done ... he 's moved on ? nina : maybe your time 's up . [ scene_break ] valerie : hey . thought i might see you here . dillon : hey , valerie . what are you doing here ? valerie : jordan offered me an extra day off at christmas if i stood in for her . dillon : you regretting that decision yet ? valerie : well , i thought it would be fun , but , then again , i also thought i would have a date . dillon : i thought you were with that , uh , curtis guy . valerie : [ sighs ] over and done with . dillon : i 'm sorry . i know the feeling . valerie : well , at least i 'm not alone . dillon : do you want to get out of here ? valerie : yes . i did n't need that day off anyway . [ scene_break ] [ ringing ] nina : um , okay . kiki : well , thank you for the advice . nina : sure . bye . kiki : bye . nina : hello ? valentin : it 's your boyfriend . you miss me ? nina : mm , i just saw you this morning . valentin : well , i miss you . you free for a drink or something ? nina : yeah , i could do that . uh , let me move some things around . give me an hour . valentin : make it two . i 'm in new york , but i 'm heading right back . nina : i did n't know you were going out of town . valentin : yeah . something came up . nina : an emergency ? valentin : nothing unexpected , but it could n't be ignored . so i 'll see you soon . [ scene_break ] dante : find out how all this really went down with valentin . we 're gon na charge him . we 're gon na put him away . lulu : okay . yeah . investigate . do what you have to do . i do n't care . all i care about is that little girl . my little girl . i have a daughter ! [ laughs ] i ... i - i have a daughter that -- that i 've never held ... or kissed ... or sung to ... that i never said , `` i love you , `` to . you remember what it felt like all that time we missed out with rocco ? it 's happening all over again . [ crying ] oh , my god . dante : listen . what this family has done to you , what this man is doing to you right now , it is criminal , okay ? he can not go on playing this game with you . lulu : you 're right . valentin is playing a game . but charlotte 's future is at stake . i have no choice but to play along . he picked the wrong spencer to mess with , because i will be damned if this is a game that i do n't win . [ scene_break ] nelle : god , your toes must be freezing . michael : uh , no , it 's not too bad . uh , just wait until winter . nelle : this is n't winter ? michael : oh , no . there 's still a week left of fall . nelle : [ sighs ] oh , bull . michael : yeah , you 're in for , what -- we got , uh , we got blizzards , we got ice storms , ice - ins , lake - effect snow . nelle : god , you make it sound so appealing . michael : it makes one wonder why live in port charles at all . okay , i 'm , uh -- i 'm gon na grab our coats , and then we can bounce . nelle : i have n't forgotten why i 'm here . i 'll never forget . [ scene_break ] jason : carly knows you better than anyone . sonny : yeah . jason : you 're not gon na be able to conceal this . it 's gon na read -- on your face , in your voice . she 's gon na see it . even if she does n't see it , she 's gon na feel it . what you need to do is get out in front of this . sonny : carly 's been through enough pain . i do n't want to add to it . jason : no , because lying to her , that 's not causing any pain . sonny : well , knowing is gon na be worse . i 'm not gon na say anything . nelle 's not gon na say anything . so , who ... ? how 's anybody gon na find out ? jason : there 's me . [ scene_break ] michael : all right , let 's blow this pop stand . nelle ?

[ scene_break ] tom : help ! someone help me ! franco : hey . you have a choice here , okay ? this is the humane method of training , but there 's also a less cuddly way . right now it 's set for `` beagle , `` but i could easily turn it to `` german shepherd `` or `` irish wolfhound . `` tom : what 's wrong with you ? this is sick . franco : let me explain the rules to you , okay ? you argue with me , i shock you . you try to escape , i shock you . if you misbehave ... tom : you shock me . franco : yeah . that 's it . that 's what 's gon na happen . it 's so simple , even a dog could learn it . and that 's good 'cause that 's what you are , right , tom baker ? a dog ? speak . tom : i -- franco : no , no , no . speak . tom : woof . franco : good boy . we 'll have you trained in no time at all . tom : what -- what are you gon na do then ? what are you gon na do with me ? franco : well , that would be telling . [ next_on ] michael ( to carly ) : does this mean that you guys are going to get back together ? sonny ( to jason ) : are you going to tell carly that i slept with nelle ? tracy : is she gon na die ? finn : not if i can help it . franco ( to tom ) : i am going to make sure that you never hurt elizabeth ever again . elizabeth : [ knocks on door ] franco ? it 's elizabeth .
